So you are still here...Kash, at least humor me with some sort of response.
I started to post a few times but there'd be 2 or 3 new ones hit the thread again so I stopped to check what they were. Ice made it clear he thinks I'm mafia, so there's no getting around that now. But what matters is he shot Zaffy so it's 2 dead mafia. What he's done so far has been outstanding, but he's going to make a mistake somehwere too... when he gets to me... which is fine. Whoever he shoots next has a lot to sort through... even if it's me.
If Ice shoots me next... (1) he won't be here to revise his thinking after he learns it was a mistake and (2) the others who count me as a suspect will need to make new assessments. So instead of jumping in again with overlapping posts, I've waited to see if Ice takes another shot or decides to wait. That's why I quit posting.
For your response to these...
Have you even addressed my question on how you could have 5 innocents pegged on day 2 without even having any suspicions of them?
Nope...from what I can see you just glazed over that one Kash.
My reluctance to make a full suspect list came because I couldn't figure out between Jbradt and Dawg or Pappy and Zsand, which I posted about. I ended up leaving all 4 names unresolved and listed Annie as my strongest suspect. When I went through the thread again, I felt both you and JB were making weak arguments and it seemed (to me) you were both trying to build cases on people who weren't as suspicious as you two made them appear. I decided from the early posts that Pappy and Zsand were actually helping the town and addressed the issues raised by Dawg and Jbradt in the replies they posted. I also noticed Lab Rat seemed believable while those who were accusing/suspecting her seemed to be more suspicious. (That part I posted earlier in my response to Red.)
So those are the 3 names I cleared at that time... Pappy, Zsand, Lab Rat. And I put those names on my townie list, along with me and Ice. There's the answer to the question you asked earlier, Dawg, while I was posting on other things.
Those who want to suspect me because it took me a long time to post a definitive suspect list... fair enough. It took me longer than I wanted to make up my mind as well. I don't know who the mafia are because they're not my teammates and (other than Ice) I don't have a ready list of innocents either. Once I could commit to something one way or another, I posted it. I didn't just post my suspects but also the ones I thought were not suspicious. And I've posted all the other questions and suggestions I could think of to help out the best I could.
Now.. Zaffy's role has been confirmed so we have new information to use for comparison. Ice is either going to shoot me next or somebody else (who'll also likely shoot me right away). Either way... my top suspects before Ice shot Zaffy were Dawg and JB, as I've posted. This may stay the same or it might change. If Ice continues to wait, as it seems he's going to now... I have some time to figure out why he trusts the two people I don't.. to see if Zaffy's mafia role changes anything else.. and so on. If the gun gets passed to me I have two targets in mind.. but I'll wait to hear responses and input from the others before shooting either. I'm llisted on most of the suspect lists now and the way that changes once my role is revealed (or someone else if Ice doesn't shoot me) will be very important to consider before I shoot at anyone.
While following this thread I also have to work on something else for a meeting tomorrow. I'll keep at this as I can and post whatever else I think is helpful as I go.
