As asked, by both Lakia and Zuma (I believe it was those 2 at least, I know they have voted for me at least), here is my defense and reasoning for posts # 268, 304, 322, 327 and 367.
I first asked for the experience of players to try to find out if people would lie about it. If people would deny knowing what they are doing, and then appear to do some tricky move. This would not be definitive, but with so little to go on I thought it might help. As I said in that post, it might not be a good idea. I suppose it wasn’t. (#268)
#304 and 367. This is when I cast my vote for Sturmhauke. My reasons are not very good, I admit. Who actually has good reasons right now though? Most of the reasons stated have to do with the analysis of posts. For this reason some of the more active people have been voted for and some of the people who are active but not saying anything substantive My vote was not based on who has said what but rather who has been killed, and who has been left alive. I explained my reasoning in #367. I think the Mafia killed Dnooman. This was to get rid of a good player. I think Sturmhauke played better last game,so I would have killed him if my goal was to get rid of the good players. I placed OAOW as the SK kill because he was calling for less talking about nothing cluttering up the thread. A cluttered thread helps the SK and Mafia as it makes it harder for the Citizens to re-read and analyze. That left Captain Carrot as the VG kill by default.
In #322 Pleonast says he mistrusts me for removing Enfant Terrible from my list of lynching. I did this because of Chrisk and his possible role claim. It might not be a role claim. It might just be a bad idea from him. However he did say he claimed to be a cop, of some flavour, and investigated Enfant who turned out to be Citizen. While I don’t believe Chrisk necessarily, and it may have been a hasty move by him, one that he has somewhat retracted, with so little to go on I don’t see how we can just dismiss this bit of information. I think Chrisk now needs to act like a cop, and each day he MUST give us information. This information we will act upon at some point. I have suggested day 3, as that would give us 3 people to choose from, unless he points at Mafia before then. If his information is wrong, we lynch him. Simple as that. Therefore for the same reason I don’t want to lynch Chrisk, I don’t want to lynch Enfant Terrible. I don’t see anything gained by lynching Enfant Terrible (unless of course he is Mafia) at this time. I think it better to make Chrisk keep telling us information, if he doesn’t we kill him. If he does, on the 3rd day we kill Enfant then. However I won’t be crushed if we do kill Enfant Terrible, my only reasoning for leaving him off is because of what Chrisk said and that is probably based on very bad information. However we have little information, good or bad at this point.
In post #327 I laid out my list of Trust/Distrust. At that time it was as follows:
Trust: Pleonast, Chrisk
Don’t Trust: Sturmhauke, Gaderene, pimaspinner
My reasons for distrusting Sturmhauke are out there. It isn’t for the best reasons, but again we have very little to go on. So there it is. By his mere existence I find it fishy. I don’t trust Gadarene (Did I spell it right this time? :)) because he posted numerous times during the night, and at that time had posted very little. This is no longer true. My reasoning was the same for pimaspinner. Posting about drinking, and then saying little during the day gives the appearance of posting a lot while actually saying very little. I trusted Pleonast because his list of people to mistrust/trust was similar to mine.
That is my reasoning so far. Does that make it any clearer?
