I’m having a great deal of difficulty in deciding who to vote for.
I looked at a list of the current players, excised myself and the roleclaiming players; with three of them there has been sufficient time to counterclaim, and no-one has. Malacandra’s claim is too new to have been properly evaluated, and the next few hours probably won’t be enough time.
All my suspicions of the thirteen remaining players are so thin. They mostly boil down to reeds so slender I’m ashamed to base a vote on them.
DiggitCamara[sub]2[/sub]? Every time I think he’s done something scummy it turns out that he has a good explanation and/or I’ve misunderstood him. The discussion we had earlier is a good example.
Once I’d sorted out the misunderstanding re his latest theory, that began to appeal to me. Like many people, I’ve wondered about whether Kat included a Cultist in her Four FOS’s (back in post 1020). So far, Pleonast and Malacandra have roleclaimed. While Mal’s is too new to have any opinion on, Pleonast’s is now two Days old and there have been no signs of a counterclaim. If they are both true, that means that the Cultist is either FlyingCowOfDoom, **Sachertorte **, neither or maybe both. I don’t know which; I wouldn’t put it past Kat to deliberately pick four genuine Believers.
I tend to believe the hypothesis that Hal Briston investigated **Sachertorte ** and cleared him, insofar as anyone can be cleared by an investigation. That doesn’t invalidate DiggitCamara’s “**Sachertorte ** the Prophet” hypothesis.
On rereading some of Yesterday’s stuff I did have some suspicion of Pygmy Rugger. This started after Queuing showed that a large part of PR’s output had little or no real content. Today he’s been much more active.
I’m not sure whether PR realised the implications of his advocacy of the Night 6 Conversion theory. Conventional wisdom evolved over M3 was that the scum should convert as late as possible. The only reason to use the power earlier is the possible loss of that power by losing the Prophet. If that nearly happened Yesterday, scaring the Cult into converting before killing all the conversion-blockers and immunes were killed, then PR and Mal were the lead suspects. To my mind, the Prophet pushing the idea that recruitment was used while himself being a main suspect for the role is suicide. Thus I don’t see PR as scum because of this.
The other players don’t even give me that much to work with.
I wouldn’t mind an extension, because it would give me the chance to go over things again with a fresher mind tomorrow afternoon. So I’m going to vote Sachertorte.
