Hmm.
@Robb Oh. I just re-read your nameclaim (#381) and indeed you never said you were the musician, others did. Oh well. So much for Vitek's line.
bazilisek: I read that twice and I'm not sure I get what you mean. I'll come to that later when I'm less tired.
What I mean is how I thought/expected Town and Mafia to react to me, 3rd party survivor, in a 3v2v1 lylo (4 to lynch).
I would have expected their mindsets regarding me to be something like:
Mafia - We know we have 2 left, and she wins with us if we can mislynch a townie. We should try to not mention this, and encourage votes. Especially Roosh votes since they count for 2. As long as he's not on one of us, there are then 3 of us that can quicklynch, because jess can win with us. Assuming of course we can start a wagon on one not our own. In fact, let's buddy up with her as much as humanely possible. (Note: Not that town wouldn't try to buddy either to win votes)
Town - We have 3 left (but control 4 votes), and Mafia are likely not going to vote for themselves, so we need to be extremely careful, figure out who is scum and coordinate all four votes on them. The only "wiggle room" we have is if we have jess vote first, as she's claimed 3rd party, even though she seems to be pro-town, so that we can consider the L-2 and L-1 benchmarks without her vote still as an unknown factor, in case her vote is on a townie. Sure she can hop wagons still, but at least on the one wagon she's on, whether town or scum, you can then correctly gauge the likelyhood of mafia being able to quicklynch or not.
So what I mean is that no one seemed to be thinking of my survivor role here with a "town" mindset, considering the votes left and lynch threshold. You know (or should) that my vote won't necessarily be town-friendly here. If Roosh or Vitek were at L-1, I'd vote them even though I currently think they're town, simply because it fulfils my win condition.
And I bring it up because I had a town read on you (baz) from you mentioning the topic about 2 Mafia and so Roosh should not vote (in
#541 and #542), even though you mentioned 3 and not 4 to lynch, cause I thought you were thinking along these lines too. That town read evaporated when you retracted it, because I think it is still very true. I may be wrong about the analysis, feel free to enlighten otherwise.
bazilisek: And while we're at it, no one commented on the smile on dead Nazarush's face, meaning he presumably found a mafia before his death. The last time he told us whom he suspected, it was Typhoon and Orry. Nice bit of circumstantial evidence there.
Perhaps he investigated one and died anyway before he could release results. I hardly think Zchinque is being biased on the side of town and hinting at a previous read like that, as that would be blatantly mod interference. I didn't (and still don't) think there was anything to mention or read into it, even though I'm voting Orry, since there wasn't flavour every day.
Also, could you please confirm that you were NOT roleblocked night 1, despite submitting no actions?
You didn't reveal until now you only had 3 skills as a JOAT, so how would Mafia have known that? They can deduce quite logically now you likely have/had a doc, cop, and vig ability, of which 2 of the 3 are gone now, but for all they knew you had 5 or 6 to pick from. And, you say killing Naz removes a power role without raising any suspicion to anyone, then go ahead and try to smear Orry right after that (by linking death flavour with his last reads being Typhoon and Orry.)
I however concede the Naz point in general - you're right that if they lose their RB, the cop remaining alive would be more dangerous than the JOAT (even though either being able to get another action off would be unlikely, if it does happen for whatever reason, better for it to be the JOAT).
