Ok so I want to get to Timo's original post... but I'm kind of more interested in the replies right now. Let's take a look at these. (Also I need to talk about Summer's post but this feels more pressing.)
Micky wrote:Inconq: what do you mean by a ranked tiers list? I searched Timo out of pure randomness. I got home from work and genuinely just had to pick a name. It was pure luck.
I don't love this, but it feels like Micky? I need someone else (i.e. not Micky or Timo) to weigh in on this bit here, because I actually like that he's not fabricating a reason. On the other hand, it's really easy to just say "hey it was random and I got lucky!" This could be mafia setting Timo up for a mis-kill today. But this feels like good old Micky too so I don't know.

This is... largely what I expected, except I thought Andy would be lower. Micky talk to me a bit about your neutrals here if you have time. I understand Silver's position at the bottom, but why Summer above Andy and why Andy above Ubik? Some examples of posts you liked/didn't like would be good. If you're telling the truth about being the cop, who will you investigate tonight and why?
Timotheus wrote:I tried to save you. Because you took a really dominant position in the game, and feared the mafia would be afraid of this happening. I wasn't 100% sure you were a townie, but I was 100% sure you were at the moment the right person for the townies because of the way you were asking questions and smelling out people.
So in contrast to Micky's response to why he searched Timo in night one, this is... mostly believable. Unless you look back at Cam's last post in day one putting his doubts on me. Like I've said before, smart mafia keeps both of us alive to allow us to argue back and forth to an inevitable mis-kill on day two, leading to the tie. On the other hand, this looks like smart town reasoning, which Timo is very good at. This has largely been my issue with Timo this day phase, he's logical, but sometimes there are little things that make me tilt my head. A guilty cop investigation kind of puts that over the edge for me, but I have to weigh the options. On the whole, obviously, Timo's posts are better, more thought out. Is this alignment indicative? For him, not necessarily.

So ok I'm looking at this and Summer is your highest neutral. Why her over Ubik? And why Ubik over Andy? I went back to the post with explanations to see if you had sort of compared players and you hadn't. That's not an issue, but I want to see why this person vs. that person.

If he is mafia, why pick the player that could him look 200%% more suspicious? Zaz is more clever than that. I'm not fully convinced, but it's weird. I think it's more likely that zaz really is the doc, and really wanted to save Lotha. Why he outed himself on day one is mind-blowing to me though.
That entire situation is weird, and I feel like there's more to it.
Why give credence to the possibility that I could be the doctor if you were the doctor the whole time? I understand doing so to dig in and see what happens, but doing it this way is digging your own grave.
Ooof. This is big. Good catch!
I also want to add here that it was Timo's later explanation of this post that led me to stop thinking that Cam was lying about his role. This is kind of a big X in Timo's doctor claim column for me.

Hahah no it's a good thing. I thought of something last night that may or may not work. I'm recognizing its flaws right now and will have to lay it out for everyone when I get home. It kind of relies on us knowing for sure who the cop is though so... And also kind of relies on you trusting me which doesn't look great based on the below, but I'll bring it up later anyway.

Ok. There's nothing in the thread at all that makes you think somebody is town? Like at all? I don't know how I read this to be honest. Ok, anyway... Your mafia group is consistent with what you've been saying so that's good. How were you feeling about Timo before Micky's cop claim and guilty discovery? I don't know if you had said prior to that but if you have, forgive me!
The neutral group is pretty consistent with the rest of the players except for Micky being in Timo's mafia list of course. You've obviously thought about the order though, can you walk me through why you have Summer above Ubik? I understand Silver's spot, and assume you're trusting Micky's cop claim (which is backed up further in your view by Timo claiming your role, etc.).
zazthespaz wrote:Also, Gladys, I saw your request to remove the vote, but unless a big revelation is dropped, I don't see my opinion changing. He literally claimed my role. (The same way Lotha did last game (mafia btw) with Summer and her role)
It was just a temporary request so we don't risk getting to five and find out that Tywin's action has been put in place and we've cost ourselves a tonne of time in the thread. I naturally assumed Timo would be your end of day vote anyway. I do understand your position though.

I’m not sure I buy the odds of all this.
DEADLINE VOTE: TIMO
Can we avoid math talk? Ubik's going to lose his mind if you start posting fractions. =P
