And, finally, while voting for me, he claims to be “most suspicious” of two other people. Until now, I’ve found it difficult enough to find one person to cast a non-random vote for. How is it, then, that Omi has the luxury of a pool of three? Is he that good? Or just more well-informed about a larger pool of targets? I’m comfortable voting the latter.

You raise some good points here. This is the first game of mafia I’ve ever participated in, so I’m going to try and convince you that most of my problems are newbie f**kups.
The mason bit: I honestly misunderstood the win condition, and was hoping that somebody would either agree with my read or correct me. I’m a lot happier now that I know the masons and town can win together.
The NAF bit: the “almost certain” bit was just me being too assertive in my ideas. Despite reading the other two games I didn’t grasp how much (valid!) scrutiny and nitpicking was directed at each post, and I’m actively trying to be more cautious in how I phrase things these days.
The large pull of “suspicious” folks: I’m not the slightest bit certain about you, Caerie, or anyone else. When I accused both of you, I was looking at the following conundrum: I couldn’t figure out a gosh darn thing from people’s posts, but I knew that silence only benefits scum, and even if I turned out to be wrong it was better to make some noise and see how people responded. As such, I was basically accusing both of you in order to stir up some sh*t and see where things landed. As saturday and sunday have gone on I’ll admit that the scuminess my gut read into your posts has gone down considerably, but I’m still cautious.
On the same note, I’m a little lost as to what I should think about CaerieD. She defended herself very reasonably, which would lead me to take her off my radar, but as I’ve mentioned before the sudden, in my view overzealous scrutiny I got from a very small number of players (I’m about to re-read that section to get some names) makes me wonder if my randomly scrutinizing two people in quick succession (CaerieD, Kyrie) didn’t step on somebody’s toes. I’m gonna take a quick break and figure out exactly who came down on me over the CaerieD piece, but in general when one person accuses another, it seems like most of the uninvolved players sit back for a bit and watch what happens. To get instant feedback from a small number of people makes me think that I may’ve blundered into an organized group, which could’ve been a good or a bad thing.
