So, I went back to re-read on Leonard03.

In his post #224 he replies to a comment yogsloth made (post #223), then claims to not know if it was specifically addressed to him as per his reply to dedoporno (post #253). More interestingly, in that same post, he says that he'd vote yogsloth to avoid No-Lynch, but he was looking for more likely targets, a choice of wording JMich pointed out (post #303).

When asked about it by Bookwyrm627 (post #300) he replied with "watching and waiting" (post ), and when asked about that one by dedoporno (post #366) he said "watching and waiting for slips, mistakes, strange behaviour...etc." (post [url=https://www.gog.com/forum/general/forum_mafia_32_booze_blood_and_bullets_the_prohibition/post380]#380). I commented on this in my post #431, as it stood out to me back then. But even if it was not a way to shield himself, at the very least it was an admission of no intention to actively partake in scum-hunting, and see if he could provoke such slips, mistakes, etc..

In that same post #328, he suggests it'd be better to "try and figure what yogsloth's plan is", but he himself has no "ideas yet". Reading his later posts, he never had any ideas at any point, but seemed interested in keeping the focus on the discussion around the possible roles yogsloth may or may not have (post ), and later in his post [url=https://www.gog.com/forum/general/forum_mafia_32_booze_blood_and_bullets_the_prohibition/post406]#406 he seems quite interested in also keeping the discussion about game mechanics going. Two discussions, he doesn't actively partake in.

In his post #462 he comes back to the subject of No-Lynch, stating how Ixamyakxim's vote on drealmer7 takes us nowhere, but would vote P1na to avoid No-Lynch. And then goes and votes Krypsyn, who had exactly zero votes on him at that point, because he needed to put a vote out there. Kind of sounds like he wanted to be on record as voting.

When P1na reached L-1, and after saying that he doesn't think that P1na's scummier than Krypsyn (post ), he points out in his post [url=https://www.gog.com/forum/general/forum_mafia_32_booze_blood_and_bullets_the_prohibitionin his post527]#527 that adaliabooks was also looking for a drink (which feels completely out of place given the time and state we were at; perhaps an attempt at changing our view on P1na?), and then goes to re-evaluate his vote and ends up on flubbucket (post ) who at that point had only P1na's joke-vote on him, because he was "tryin to stop us from a mislynch" (post [url=https://www.gog.com/forum/general/forum_mafia_32_booze_blood_and_bullets_the_prohibition/post558]#558). What's interesting to me, is that he says that flubbucket and Krypsyn were better lynches, but "Too late for that now though", when he never made a real effort to get people to look their way and try to build a wagon on them when there was time for it.

His D2 posts consist mostly of explaining himself about his stance on P1na. Other than that, he's asked Ixamyakxim one question (post ), mentioned the push for adaliabooks wagon, but needs some re-reading before deciding to join it (post [url=https://www.gog.com/forum/general/forum_mafia_32_booze_blood_and_bullets_the_prohibition/post756]#756), restatied how against No-Lynch he is (post #773) and entertained us plenty with his doodles.

So, for someone that repeatedly stated that he's against a No-Lynch, and wants to steer us away from a mis-lynch, he's done next to nth to achieve any of the two. I'm not convinced he was really thrown off by P1na's play; with everything else, I'm leaning towards he was avoiding to be on a scum-buddy's wagon, but be on record for voting someone he thought was suspicious, in an attempt to make it less obvious. Additionally, he's done nth to help us scum-hunt, while expressing interest in keeping discussions alive that traditionally are more beneficial to mafia than town on D1.

One other thing I've noticed is that he seems to come on when he either has very little to no time or is too tired to do anything game-related. I may be reading too much into this, but it stood out to me how many of his posts end with something along these lines.

From what I recall from the game he and I were in, where he was town, he wasn't all that much active, but was at least a bit more involved, which is not what I get this game.

I see upon refresh that he got a couple more votes in the meantime. Very interested to hear from Leonard03, and from others about Leonard03.



Would you care to elaborate?
