My current thoughts: **ToeJam** The Most Likely To Be Scum and the one whose reveal will be the most useful in interpreting Day 1. His insistence that he is the most likely target for the scum kill and his notion that vanillas should target themselves were just bizarre. He needs to go next. **Idle Thoughts** Started Day 2 with a vote on ToeJam for very poor reasons > [@Mafia Reunion - Day Two](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-two/777425/32): > > Crappy start. > > Okay, to make up for not voting yesterday, I’m putting down a vote early today. Right now, in fact. > > Vote ToeJam > > It’s possible that all of the forerunners for lynch the Day before were Town, but I feel it’s also very likely that at least one was scum…that would mean ToeJam is it. ToeJam was indeed looking like scum, but the reasoning is terrible and there is good scum motivation for this vote: 1. As the previous Day’s runner up, ToeJam was a reasonable possibility of being lynched, so look good by being one of the early voters 2. ToeJam was also looking a real possibility of a modkill, so a good way to waste the lynch Idle has also been extremely quiet, which is is very atypical of his play as town. **Boozahol Squid** Very noisy, but very little substance. One post I particularly disliked was from Day 2: > [@Mafia Reunion - Day Two](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-two/777425/100): > > > [@](#): > > > > Originally Posted by AngeloftheNorth > > Yup. Besides me who else do you suspect? > > It’s a one vote game. Unless you’ve got a role to claim, I don’t need to come up with further suspicions. For the record, I’m generally distrustful of the group of voters that pushed the **Lakai** bandwagon at the eleventh hour yesterDay, though (q.v. my post #1116 from the Day One thread.) That’s where I’ll start if for some reason I start to think you’re not scummier than a frat house bathtub. It was a reasonable question with a completely unhelpful response: “I’ve got my vote down, I don’t need to do any more” Also, he is way too keen on lynching all the claimed cultists, even though they would be mislynches. \*\*Enderw24 \*\* > [@Enderw24](#): > > I want to look up Sach’s history a bit more. The 3rd party play would be a very ballsy gambit, I agree. But what purpose did it serve at the time of claiming? Were they both under that much pressure to break down like that on Day 2? That seems very hasty for something that could massively backfire. > > Currently, I’m opposed to wasting a lynch on known or suspected 3rd party. That may change. > At the same time, I’m almost certain Crys is lying. > > First of all, even in a game this size, having Town, Wolves, Mafia, AND a FIVE person 3rd party? That’s almost as large as each scum team. That’s not a 3rd party, that’s a fourth faction! And a 3rd party with (multiple?) power roles that’s completely off the radar in regards to Role PMs? > > And why does 3rd party need power roles anyway? If the win condition is just to survive, why the hell would they need to investigate anyone? Lynch them all! Who cares as long as they stick around. > > And why would their win condition be to just survive to the end? Why would the mods have so much explanation in the rules about potential exclusive win conditions for 3rd party if there wasn’t one in the game? > > No. Nothing about Crys’s claim makes a lick of sense. > It’s all a lie. > > But I just don’t know what to do about it. I agree with Angel and Nanook. This looks like an attempt to cast suspicion on the claimed cult. As for “Why would the mods have so much explanation in the rules about potential exclusive win conditions for 3rd party if there wasn’t one in the game?”, it’s quite simple: there is almost certainly some hostile third party(s) in the game. It does not mean that every third party is necessarily hostile. So that’s \*\*ToeJam Idle Thoughts Boozahol Squid Enderw24 \*\* I’m happy to vote for any of these. For toDay **Vote ToeJam** --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-three/778068)._
