I find this whole section surprising.
It seems rather…overly cautious.
Well, mainly, voting for someone who displayed suspicion of you, even though they didn’t even vote for you.
You voted for me, though. Yet do you see me unvoting SCL and voting for you in return? No. Even if I hadn’t voted yet, I wouldn’t be as hasty if the situation was reversed. I’d say “Oh, well, you have a good point there. I see what you’re saying. I wasn’t recruited, though”.
Would I expect you to believe me? Probably not. Would I have believed you had you done/said just that? Probably not. But it certainly wouldn’t have futhered any suspicions of you either. Whereas unvoting someone else and getting so defensive to the point of voting for a person who merely said they were suspicious of you, does.

I do see several logical reasons why I think you were recruited. However, I said the town would be in trouble if you were recruited, and I think I was right. We are.

shrugs I wasn’t recruited though. So your fears are unfounded. (see above)
My idea? It was a rhetorical question. One you think aloud into a post in this game. And as far as I’ve seen, not the first by far. You even DID mention it yourself here. But in case you still think it’s “my” idea, other members said similiar things to how it didn’t make sense here and here. I actually go on to reply to a few of those by making these two posts. Just to show you it wasn’t even “my idea” back then. I was in the same boat as you, figuring anything could be possible.
It was only after the SECOND no kill night that started me thinking and turning it over in my mind. I then went back and figured that yeah, similiar to ideas expressed earlier, it makes more sense now (after the second no-kill) that the FIRST, if any, would have been a save (rather than a wasted recruitment) and the SECOND would have been a recruitment of that person that was “saved” on the first night.
That alone, you can’t deny, makes a lot and MORE sense than anything so far.
So…by other reasoning, thinking they would have tried to hit you or I that first night (something you FULLY CONCEED to thinking a few times in this thread) it makes me think they hit you, and then recruited.
Hey, maybe they didn’t. Maybe they tried to hit someone, found them protected either by them being the Doc themselves or a lucky NW save and then recruited THEM. I just singled you out with my own sense and your own admission: That the mafia would most likely try to take us out.
While I can see this being a very possble case, there are two things I disagree with. Number one being, I’m not scum so I obviously wasn’t recruited. But since you don’t know this, I’ll have to hope number two makes you understand better: Namely that I think the first no kill was someone they found that they couldn’t kill.
So if YOU are still YOU (and protown) and I am still me (and protown), then either:
A. The Doc was someone else, was self protecting, and they tried hitting them.
B. The Doc was someone else, was protecting ANOTHER person (who was NOT me or you since we’re both claiming we weren’t recruited), and they tried to hit that other person.
or
C. The NW made the save on SOMEONE, who the Mafia just happened to try hitting.
In all of these cases, I can see the mafia recruiting the person they tried to hit, thinking it may have been the Doctor.
ALSO in all of these cases, it makes me wonder WHY it wouldn’t have either been you or I they tried to hit the first time to try to get one of us out the game.
Nothing changed. You can read from my posts above and the past ones I linked to that I was of the same mind. But TWO no-kills in a row? Well, we KNOW one of them had to have been a save. This is 100 percent guarenteed. No ifs, ands, or buts. One had to be a save. Maybe they both were but let’s stick with what we know for sure. One of them was.
And IF only one of them was, I think it was the first no kill. Cause, as I now say and others have said, a recruitment that first day would make NO sense at all.
By itself, I disagreed. I thought anything was possible.
With TWO no-kills though, it makes me think the first one WAS a save actually and the second was a recruit of said saved person the night before.
And vica versa.
Snipped some.
NOW see, this is what I’m saying. You seem to understand it here but yet not when I’ve said it before. I no longer think, however, the first night was a recruitment. It would have made no sense without further info. This isn’t anything like “new info”. This is common sense. Very plausible things to consider.
Now just add that to the sense that it seems they would try to get one of us out, it makes me suspicious of you. That’s all. Suspicious. I never voted for you. I just said I was suspicious.
So going back to the basics/beginning, you did seem like you were getting hasty a bit. Or they may have recruited.
I explained in this post. Note: Well before the night we had last and there was any chance of recruitment.
And then, the next day, I continued it (and expanded on it) here.
Those posts were made on opposite sides of the night. Yet you see my thoughts and reasonings don’t waver.
Because others grew higher on my suspicions list. That still makes her look shady, yeah. But how doesn’t it make SCL voting for her all three times and also being mentioned specifically by fluiddruid any less shady?
I’m fairly certain Lightnin’ is town and everyone is making a huge mistake on him. Same with CaerieD. I could be wrong. But I don’t feel I am from observances I have made and reasonings I’ve thought.
But again, what pattern have I changed? I said the same thing both BEFORE the last night and AFTER the last night. So… 
…how is that changing anything?
Nevermind, Tirial. Night cometh.
Where’s our results? I’m dying here!
*On his way to the gallows, Lightnin’ off-handedly rescues a kitten from a tree, helps his kid sister with her homework, walks an elderly lady across the street, spreads his jacket atop a puddle of mud for grateful passers-by, and kicks a mime in the testicles.
You guessed it, folks.
Lightnin’, a Do-Gooder, is dead.*
The next day will dawn at 7:30 p.m. my time on Friday. All night instructions should be submitted by then, or I’m gonna whoop ya.
Well, there goes the other DoGooder.
RIP Lightnin’.
Goddamnittohell
Arg! I’m chomping to tear into analysis of this debacle, but I’ve got to bite my tongue for what, 3 more days?
All I can say is that this is a very interesting development.
(I get one goodbye post, correct?)
Heh… Told ya so.
Avenge me! urk!
Oh for the love of…
Sorry to see you go, Lightnin’.
Yeah, figured as much. Sigh…hats off to ya, Lightnin’.
Another do-gooder? How is it both of them managed to look so bad on Day 1 and not redeem themselves?
Sorry for believing you were scum Lightnin’. At least you got to tell us you told us so.
Sorry I suspected you, Lightnin’.
Sorry and totally embarrassed. I must have let my stubbornness take hold of me, because I had it out for you from the beginning. Though I might have changed my mind due to the discussion I missed (everything between 3 and 7:30), I doubt it.
I’ll avenge you, Lightnin’!
Updated vote spreadsheet to come. I’m going to use this time to do some major reading.
Oh my… our only other Do-Gooder. Hopefully we can at least glean some useful information from your lynch.
Thought so. It just didn’t feel right.
Sorry Lightnin’.
Sorry Lightnin’.
Glad you weren’t the Doctor or Watchman. I know, it’s a small consolation (for us, at least).
