Sorry Food. Not my finest hour!
Did you shoot foodcoats?
I stung him to death.

This question and answer just makes me laugh. I'm sorry.

I was so happy we had a beekeeper in this game, and I am sad that he is gone, but I feel like sonnets will be written about this, and so it's okay.
Ask and ye shall receive:

In fields where honeyed treasures sweetly lay,
A beekeeper, Foodcoats, reigned with great care,
His bees, a buzzing symphony each day,
Their golden nectar filled the morning air.

One fateful day, a friend in need did call,
To borrow bees for pollination's hand,
Foodcoats obliged, though feared his bees might fall,
Unwittingly, he sealed his fatal strand.

For when the bees returned to their own hive,
They bore a scent, a foreign, strange perfume,
Confusion struck, they stung their lord alive,
In agony, he met his dreadful doom.

Oh, Foodcoats, noble keeper of the bees,
Your epic tale shall echo through the trees.

It is unfortunate he was not around when you listed him as your top scum read.

Reasons for bozo:
Reasons can be split into 2 groups, voting for will, and not voting damo:

reasons to not vote damo:
At it's core, there really wasn't enough reasoning. Spartaculous didn't give any reason at all, same with Brian. Balki gave what is in my opinion a very weak reason which mainly tied into damo's lack of posting (something which has not really bothered me, especially since damo has been known to pick up the pace). Furthermore, damo's lack of particular caring about being a wagon tied for lead make me feel that they aren't mafia (mafia would probably start panicking at least slightly).

reasons to vote will:
At it's core, there were reasons given, which is better than damo's wagon having a complete lack of reasoning. The lack of substance reasoning felt legit, and for me was more convincing than voting someone out for lack of posting. Furthermore, I feel like those voting for will were in general more active and helpful, thus I put more weight on their votes

Regarding bees:
unfortunate oversight damo, asking first would've been so much better... oh well! the loss of bee keeper is lamentable, the game sure is going to be less fun without those exciting little items :(...

On the one hand, I think food giving damo the items could be a town indicator, food was probably town reading damo, and the confirmation of food as town in my eyes gives food's read more weight. On the other hand, I'm not sure how damo plays. Doing something so careless such as jumping the gun with the bees is certainly possible, but at the same time, is damo usually this careless? It could be scum trying to feign sorrow and shame to cover for a successful guess and shot. Could the more experienced players please lend me some insight?

I think it is somewhat suspicious that damo went to the trouble to scum read foodcoats if he was going to shoot foodcoats before he had the chance to see it.

Spartaculous had 3 town votes with 13 minutes left D1, but did not receive any more votes. If there was any mafia effort to save Just, it seems like Spartaculous would be an easy target if he was town. The fact that no mafia decide to vote for Spartaculous at EOD makes me think either the mafia were bussing Just or Spartaculous is also mafia.

My respect for damo's ability as a player makes me think this is less likely to be a mistake.

##VOTE damo for now until I can wrap my head around this sordid affair and also complete my D1 analysis.

I think that sweetandcool deserves a lot of credit for being the first player to vote for Will in the first day.
why? i disagree
There were no votes on Will until right before the end. All of the votes on him seemed to come out of nowhere. I think it is unlikely that another Mafia player would start that wagon (I think I am using that term correctly?) on the godfather so close to the end. I could be wrong, though, but I have updated my probabilities that so that sweetandcool is somewhat less likely to be Mafia that he was previously (and others are more likely to be Mafia).

I need to think more about what to make of the other six who voted for Will.
I know I'm tunneling, but the phrasing "seemed to come out of nowhere" sounds like a shocked scum shaking his head.

Huh what?

Damo killed Foods.

Sweet thinks Damo did it on purpose, as scum.

@worcej: I was always going for Just...I just didn't want it to run away so early and wanted to bait people into trying things. But that's why I ran back as soon as anything happened.

Your take is interesting though, and it's also interesting we had similar thoughts about Balki but from different directions.

Thoughts on my bozo/Sparta take?
When you say "always", are you just talking about the last 8 minutes? Why did you suspect Just?
a) "always" being during the end of day choices. Was not letting any of the other major wagons edge him out.

b) He felt similar to the game I just lost to him where I'd finally cottoned on to it before he NKd me....not exactly sure what it was, but it felt identical in tone and action and focus that something was niggling my brain.

Eh, it's possible he is still catching up or even somehow missed it.

I'm willing to believe that is the case.
