##Vote Sweet&Cool

I'm hesitant to vote a newcomer (he's not a newbie, he's played before), but there is a LOT of steering coming from him and not a lot of thinking things through or getting information.
What exactly do you mean "steering" in this context?
His "conspiracy theory" post is a good example.

Conspiracy theory time:

I think people are getting too comfy with Koala. Koala's play seems bizarre, and they really committed to it, voting for themself. I think at its peak there were 4 votes total for Koala. And then damo comes in and tells Koala to knock it off.

What if damo and Koala are mafia? And damo let the trust building exercise last for a while, and then tells his pal, Koala, to back out. Nobody thinks anything of it because Koala's play was ridiculous and instead of arbitrarily backing out, someone (damo) helped them save face and get off scot free.

Now most people seem to have a favourable opinion of Koala, thinking they are most likely Townie. Mission accomplished if my conspiracy theory were true.
Why is this an interesting theory? It's not. We see nonsense like what Koala did all the time here. It's only bizarre to Sweetums because he's new here. Neither Koala nor Damo is new here, they don't need to engage in any of that as scum.

Other posts that seem like a lot of pointing fingers. (The following are not good examples, but I also find that he's hedging a lot—I'm interested that his tone is so confident when he's generating conspiracy theories or calls to action, but that he feels the need to hedge in other places.)

Too many conclusions in that last post, so we'll make the final conclusion a call to action for the players:

Calls to action: Vote Bonatogether to save me a headache. Vote Fox for being the best candidate for Mafia Traitor. Vote Jamiet because they might be a dumb Mafia Goon jumping on the Koala bandwagon. Or vote damo because they seem too trustworthy.

Not enough information to conclude anything about Ghug. Just the suspicious #210 post. Why would a townie vote for Koala?

So if I'm forced to decide scum/not scum, I guess more likely to be scum.

how tf did I end up 3rd highest poster

anyway, Jamie and the newbies have a d1 pass from me. both newbies seem legit. I don’t see where Fox is coming from RE: steering. Jamie is far and away highest poster and isn’t particularly known for being a high volume poster as scum. I think he would be more likely to coast with such a relatively inactive D1 as scum.

Bona is somehow second highest poster but has made no impression on me either way, so I don’t mind that vote for now

I think the way I'll cast my vote today is:
1. Who, if town, would be least likely to assist us catching scum?
2. Who, if mafia, would be most dangerous to leave alive?

I'm pretty sure the answer to both of these is evident to us all.

an alarming number of based posts by jamie on this page

##unvote
It's funny because you posted this on an empty page but it applies equally actually to the page you meant to post it on.
Does this mean your vote for Jamie means you want to eliminate him this time?
Maybe? I think he'd be fine.

Last time I am changing my vote, promise!

So far the most suspicious individual has been Fox. They respond to all but my most informative post (Post #342), and are actively trying to discredit me (Post #419, Post #420, Post #441). When Mafia gets accused of being mafia, the classic technique is to cause confusion and discredit the player making the most sense.

I labelled my post as a conspiracy theory because it's a conspiracy, something to think about, not something to take super seriously without further evidence. I posted it simply because people were getting too comfy with Koala when Koala hasn't done anything to earn trust (at the very least, they were being purely random, as they declared).

As for my call to action, anybody can read the list and if they agree with any of the opinions then I was encouraging them to make the corresponding vote. Since it's D1, it's not like there is an incredible reason to get rid of someone, so I am working with what I got, and Foxcastle has managed to be the most suspicious person so far.

Why would changing your vote be anything you need to apologize for? (Well, not quite apologize, but something like that)
