Yes, let’s. It strikes me we haven’t really discussed it, and we probably should. Why, for example, was she targeted rather than Blaster Master—who, it has been noted, has been the vanguard of eye-popping statistical analysis and one of the most prolific (and most ostensibly helpful) players in the thread.

Your reasoning is dubious at best, and deliberately so at wost. My explanation for my survival last night is simple. Yesterday, (I don’t remember the post, but if you doubt it, I can find it), I made a request of the doctor to EITHER self-protect OR protect those with the highest level of trust. My purpose of this request was to allow the doctor to potentially self-protect AND stiill cast doubt on whether or not those with high levels of trust like** Rysto** and myself were protected, removing temptation from the mafia, VIG, and SK to target either of us. Further, at this point, the mafia would be dumb to kill anyone in high suspicion, either because they actually are mafia OR they’re good distractions from their brethren. Thus, at this point, their only targets are likely to be people who are completely under the radar in either direction.
My point? It is just as much of a weapon for the mafia to leave particular individuals alive as it is to kill one; both can be used to cast doubt on the trustworthiness of an individual.
The fact that you want to lynch me for being “ostensibly helpful” betrays the fact that you’re aware of this fact and, aware of my town loyalty, are doing everything you can to get a helpful player lynched during the day, to allow you and your mafia brethren to target the “under the radar” players at night.
Your squirming and pseudo-role-claim when someone other than those you’ve already pointed the FoS at, muchless your ridiculous “VIG, please kill me tonight” garbage just demonstrates your hypocrcy and scumminess even further.
Your evidence against me is: I’m still alive (?), I supported pleonast’s trust lists (which you did as well, before condemning me for it), and that CaerieD distrusted me, claiming my death will net more information (despite that many have said my analysis has been helpful). Meanwhile, your death will net at least as much information as mine will, by either vindicating or condemning this “list of definite scum” you’ve put together, and doing the opposite to your ostentacious supporters.
Thus, for now, I will vote to lynch Gadarene. Though I suspect your lynching won’t get the necessary votes today, thus I’m also prepared to shift it to **Queuing ** if necessary.
On another note, my access will be limited for about the next 24 hours, but if I’m still the leading vote getter tomorrow, I’ll post my final defense then.
I’m not being voted for by anybody. By all means color code me blue zuma, (be sure to unvote Queuing when you do). I’ll mount a defense when 9 other people agree with you. 
But hey, I’m happy to go down at the same time as you. Townies still far outnumber the Mafia, and if your death does lead to the exposure of the other five people I’ve listed as probable scum, it could well be enough to break the game completely open. Sounds like a good trade-off to me.
