1) I said I *suspected*, a *gut feeling*, etc. How is this remarkably different than any other way of looking in the early game?
There are 4 people I know nothing about, 4 I somewhat kinda know (due to having played with them before). 2 or 3 of these 8 are scum (or neutral), what is so bad about starting out by looking for 1 (or more) scum in each group? You focus differently on those you know than on complete unknowns. That is basically what I meant by that list/grouping.

2a) I never said Pooka voted on you. I said Pooka had you as one of his top suspects. When I hurriedly read his ISO for the first time post-NK, that was what jumped out at me. When I pressed you on it, you denied so hard I became mostly convinced, and further interpreted your denial etc as pushing me to vote for Blot (my vote was on you, you went to lengths about how Blot was a better lynch candidate, followed by "i want you to flip." I intrepreted this as "I want you to flip your vote from Book to Blot." I did, and felt a bit betrayed (not to say weirded-out) when you didn't vote for Blot. It seems like you were pushing me to do your dirty work for you.

2b) So I messed up on Cop(?) vs Rolecop. Yes, a similar difference got Scene hung and I should have been more careful. In my defense, a cop is defined: "is guaranteed to be sane" without defining what a cop does, while a rolecop is defined as "finds out someone's role". I remembered it as "role=side+power" not "role=power."

2c) You are miss-representing me. At the time I did not say that "every role was available for anyone to take," I said, "I think it obvious that with 17 PRs spread among 10 players, most everyone has a PR"--not all, but most players.
To use your words, any role was available for anyone to take if they had bid correctly. (Most of you have played with each other before and know somewhat how each others' minds work, and thus what numbers each are more likely to draw. This gives you a tiny bit of advantage. Probably not enough to have mattered, but still.)
If you look at the math, it makes sense that--with 17 Powers to choose from, 10 players would (probably) nearly all have a Power. I figured some players would go with the roles less likely to be picked (thinking they are more likely to get a role if they choose an unpopular one) while others would push for more popular ones. In fact, up to and including this point, I don't expect there to be more than 2 vanilla people, including myself.

------------
As a side note, ZFR, about the only thing I have extensively used the mafia wiki for is abbreviations, as they say on the page that most of their info regarding scumtells and such is hopelessly out of date, such that no good player makes these, so (at least how I read it) there is little if any point to reading it until i became scum, as none of my opponents would do them.
------------

Personally, I think you have been (purposely?) misreading or misunderstanding me, and I am wondering why. Are you doing so deliberately, or am I just that bad of a communicator? Is my logic really as faulty as you think it is? I'd be interested to talk post-game about it, I guess.

I am sorry that--if you are indeed town--you feel I am a detriment to Town; If you all feel that way perhaps I should be replaced?
I probably can improve during this game, but maybe not.

"His investigation, huh? What would you know about his investigation?" My question to Blot exactly. Also, your next phrase shows just how eager you are to falsely pin something on me when Blot had already addressed this.

Blot: "If he's scum maybe he wasn't expecting to come under fire so that's why his almost but not really role cop claim." What???? I did not come close to claiming Role cop; I emphatically denied being the role-cop; I stated that I had bid for role-cop and lost. In what world can you read this as a "almost but not really claim"??? The real rolecop (and you know who you are) sees nothing suspicious in this statement, merely that they beat me out for the job.

When i am proven town, what will your opinion of Yog be then?

-------------------------

Also, Trent has said what I could quote from the PM (name and role), and I will.
I am Christopher Robin, Vanilla"
Town, look to your win condition; it does not refute the possibility of a 3rd-party.

All for now, as I have to go.
