Now folks were saying that his plan was anti-town, and in a big-picture sense, it was, because we could have lost 3 townies in one night. But it wasn't malicious anti-town. Had Chas been mafia and agreed to kill himself to avoid a lynch, he would have HAD TO FOLLOW THROUGH, otherwise he would have been lynched the very next day....NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. This might make sense for the mafia to do if they only needed one more day for a win, but it was Day 1. This made no sense as a mafia plan. Chas didn't seem any more guilty to me than anyone else.
Mad as I stated earlier I was glad for the great detail in your post. I wanted to say something about this section though.
My thinking at the time was that it was a ploy to save Charlie. Djs posts that is.
We lynch DJ and Charlie gets forgotten the next day in the mix. Its happened before when we've had mafia in sight. All Charlie would have had to do would be hide among the others and stay out of the spotlight.
Thats was just my opinion at the time and why my vote stayed as it did.
