Okay, time to make my argument. The main basis for this argument will be the voting record, as i do not feel like going through 118 pages to look for quotes.
The First I would like to say is Fasces, I perfectly understand why you thought me and abge were mafia, especially since one of us definitely is mafia. However, I would like to point out that you never found me suspicious until I defended abge, I now know your suspicions were correct. At that time I did have a suspicion of abge, but the conclusion I reached was that he was definitely not a vanilla townie, but could just as easily be the cop or the vigilante as well as mafia. When krellin and Thucy were outed I did not jump to the immediate conclusion he must be mafia, but I was certainly willing to vote for him, but I also did not want to be proven wrong, lest I be the next one lynched.
Over these rounds abge has lobbied hard for the lynching of townies, and only townies. Like I said before he has voted for the following: Chaqa, Sevyas, Alex, yebellz, pj, Sevyas. The votes I would like to ring attention to are the ones for Sevyas, yebellz and Sevyas again, as I, like most people voted for everyone else on that list.
The reason I believe abge voted for Sevyas in the second round is because Sevyas voted for him in the first, now this may have been a move of emotion, but as krellin has stated abge is a rational guy, why would he let something like Sevyas voting for him get under his skin, unless it was that suspicion that would get him caught as mafia.
The most important vote for me is his vote for yebellz. During that round I was one of the strongest people lobying for captainmeme, if I was mafia this would be a downright stupid move as I would be unecessarily causing the death of one of my allies. If I had quietly piggybacked on the votes of others, like TMW, abge might have a point with me voting for captain to divert suspicion, but i did not do that. I would also like to point out that abge voted with both y2k and captainmeme for yebellz. Now why would I not only lead a vote (with Thucy) against one of my partners when TMW and I could save him by voting for yebellz, especially when we could do so by saying we were upholding the block. I may be crazy but not stupid.
Now i believe abge has been supporting the block to hide. I have sometimes been reluctant to vote with the block (like with Alex) but I would like to point out those people I did not want to vote for were innocent.
Anyway, I would like to point out that i was very vocal against the lynching of Sevyas late in the game. I could have supported it to avoid suspicion, but instead I wanted to vote for TMW. In fact I tried to convince abge to switch, and he refused. Also both TMW and abge wanted to end it on Sevyas, and both expressed the same false surprise when he turned up innocent. It was almost like they were working together, oh wait, they were.
I would like to ask you two both a question? Does it really make sense that i was working with y2k capt and TMW all this time, or working against them? I may be crazy, but I am not stupid enough to not know I should protect my team whenever I am able to. If I was mafia, would I not be the first person they would want to sacrifice, as opposed to captain? And even if they did that, doing something like that so early would cause a horrible numbers disadvantage? If I was mafia, I would have to be the worst mafia ever, and yet at the same time I would have outlasted all my allies, does that even make sense? It doesn't.
I would like to remind you i came so close to death on day 2 with capt y2k and TMW voting against me. The only reason abge didn't join in is because he did not have the time to. And I was saved at the last minute not by mafia, but by a townie.
Also krellin, I think maybe you are just not adapted to my style of deduction. I like to throw science against the wall and see what sticks. After all, when when life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade! You make life take the lemons back! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man whose gonna burn your house down - with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that'll burn your house down!
Anyway, I think that is the best argument I can make. My defense is that the mafia tried to kill me early, and if I was mafia, it would make no sense that I managed to get this far. Abge on the other hand, has cleverly manipulated the vote to get townies killed and hidden well, despite the suspicion of numerous townies. Also #MafiaConspiracy.
