Alicornutopia

I'm suspicious of Tau for his inactivity. Wolffreak has been less active too, but I'm less suspicious because he's new. He said a few things about the nature of RNGs when the thread first open, then said he was going to explicitly abstain from voting. I don't like explicit abstention It makes me think you're trying way too hard to not stand out. Granted, Tau didn't explicitly abstain in the end, when Aestrix said she was the traitor at the last minute, he changed his vote to no lynch.

I'm not bothered that he changed his vote to no lynch, it was a vote for the category that could get more votes than Aestrix. My problem is his unwillingness to cast a vote at all before something very obvious came up.

My main suspicions at the moment are fairly vague ones, easily overridden by anything more obviously suspicious. My main vague suspicions:
1. Those who haven’t posted listposts. (I don’t buy the “I’m not familiar enough with the canon” excuse, several acceptable workarounds to that have been suggested and/or used.)
2. Those who voted no lynch on day 1, especially if they never voted for anything else. (I’m firmly of the opinion that actually lynching someone on day 1 is beneficial to town.)
3. Those who didn’t vote on day 1 (similar reason to above).
These lists provide a few suspicious players, especially if I combine the criteria, so if nothing significant changes I plan to vote for a player who meets both of my first two criteria (obviously no‐one can meet all 3).


The above was all written before I looked into anyone’s spoiler boxes. Now that I have, I see that modrony has named me as the most suspicious. I will defend myself with a full role claim if it looks like I’ll need to. I’m also going to point out, modrony, that I specifically stated that I was trying not to present those two strategies as mutually exclusive (I may have referred to it in different terms, but I meant the same thing). The timing is an interesting coincidence that I didn’t notice before, and not something I can reasonably argue against, but as I said, I am willing make a full role claim to defend myself if I need to.

I think I am most suspicious of modrony for their weird voting patterns at the end of the day yesterday, and PlainDealingVillian for making the strange "3 kills a cycle" pronouncement on day one -- though unless you count Aestrix this hasn't actually happened, and for continuing to not post much. And I'm also somewhat suspicious of Alphabeta for continuing to act in a rather strange manner even today, though BSS's claim is a bit of a strange thing to pull if it wasn't actually true, so Alpha is probably town. And I'm slightly suspicious of everyone who voted for Aestrix, because Aestrix told us to pay attention to the votes as though it meant something, and I think that Aestrix was likely telling us the truth.
