Posts of interest:
#50 - Slightly suspicious of Galzria, Robz, and Bozzball
#56 - States belief that No Lynch is a bad idea
#61 - Points out Jotheonah's erratic behavior regarding playing "nice" being essentially bad for town, then voting No Lynch
#75 - Admits to playing aggressively, and trying to "stir-the-pot". States belief that this will help Town more than Mafia
#87 - *Not really an interesting post, but wondering now what tactics he was referring to, and could they help us now?*
#114 - Voices strong suspicion of Morgrim for the first time, lays out case, and proceeds to vote
#140 - Follows up on suspicions of Morgrim, agrees with G about concerns regarding Bozzball and Tables
#175 - Requests nobody (mainly Insomniac & Robz) put down vote #4 on Morgrim until Tables analysis comes in. Indicates he will retract vote if they do until such time as he feels having 4 votes is warranted.
#210 - Indicates he now feels that Morgrim getting 4 votes is warranted (based on Morgrim's post #206), so will not retract if Robz/Insomniac vote
#216 - Reaffirms where he stands in #210 by stating he has no problem with Robz casting vote #4
#237 -
Relevant Conclusions: I don't find too much to nitpick here. If I wanted to think like Robz, I suppose I could be suspicious that when I accused him of stirring the pot without good reason, he backed off and started focusing his accusations. But that isn't really how I play, and I DON'T think it's suspicious. Like Robz, he indicated a desire to wait for Tables' post, but then moved forward (moved his THINKING forward. His vote was already cast) before it arrived. But that's defended by Morgrim's many missteps. Can't say even looking back that I get a strong read either Mafia or Town. If I HAD to pick one though, Town. Moving forward:

Posts of interest:
#248 - Responds to Insomniac's accusations (and vote) of him
#259 - Day 1 analysis post. Expands on defense of Insomniac's accusations, finds Insomniac's
reasons for opening day 2 with a vote for him slightly scummy. Suspects Jotheonah for same reasons - "twisting the facts" about him. Defends himself from being a partner to Robz because of it's transparency, and therefor bad Mafia play. Doubts an I-J pair for the same reason. No thoughts on Robz or Galz yet.
#283 - Another self-defense post, mostly geared towards Jotheonah and Kuildeous. States a firmer growing suspicion of Jotheonah.
#289 - Another self-defense post (lots of these, but true for all 4 of us), this time from Galzria's comments. Distance's himself from Robz, but notes he's had little time to review his posts. Thinks bozzball is town
#304 - Calls on Robz to redefine his Day 1 approach to Morgrim for clarity (mainly, in what posts was Robz provoking Morgrim, and in what posts was Robz actually making a case)
#309 - Requests Robz to give thoughts on Kuildeous possibly being Mafia - Notes the only person Kuildeous hasn't really gone after is Robz, so there might be a Mafia pair there
#321 - Notes correction to statement K never suspected Robz. Points to post #253, where K lists Robz as #1 suspect. No longer thinks K-R pair likely
#358 - Gives a rundown (purely informational) of where everybody's suspicions and votes have tallied up to that point. Sets the standard for using First letter abbreviations (THANK YOU)
#362 - Acknowledges that he is now G's #2 suspect, finds G's case against Kuildeous interesting
#375 - Finds some things about G's case against Kuildeous odd, and seeks more answers. Questions (again) Robz's take on the situation
#437 - First full post in awhile - Believes G to be town, along with Bozz - Lists ordered pair suspicions, least likely to most likely: I-R, J-R, I-J, J-K, *R-K*, **I-K**. *- Listed most intriguing, and the one he was digging for the most information about. Claims it looked strong until Robz's post #384 (Robz's suspicions of K post, noted separate from G's suspicions). Still possible. **- Listed most likely pair, based somewhat on erratic play, and somewhat on play that jived too well together. States he will vote at a given time, regardless of vote count
#454 - Votes "as per my conditionals", Kuildeous
#525 - Unvotes as per Kuildeous request for time
#532 - Revotes Kuildeous
Relevant Conclusions: I admit I didn't see just HOW 'friendly' Volt was towards Robz. To be fair, he was equally as friendly towards me. Then again, he mostly played a "suspect where the suspicion comes from" game. I notice that trend in a lot of people, and wonder now if it should or shouldn't be raising flags. How quickly he drops his scuffle with J is perhaps a bit concerning, and he doesn't jump into the Kuildeous fray until it looks like the tide is turning that way. This is a polar opposite of how he played day 1 though, and may be because that isn't where his suspicions naturally were, so he wanted to make sure before opening his mouth. Definitely things here that concern me (more than I would have guessed). I think I've said that about everyone at this point though, and being down to 5 NOW, rightfully so. If I were to rank coming out of day 2, I would say (In order of scummy to innocent): R->I->V->J (V and J are about tied here) ... Things change day 3 though, so moving forward:
Day 3 Posts:
#556, #557, #563, #577, #580, #582, #584, #589, #591, #594, #602
Posts of interest:
#556 - States certainty that Insomniac is Mafia, and is pretty sure Galzria is his partner
#557 - Reaffirms his suspicion that Galz is Mafia #2, playing a "wait for 2nd vote" game on Robz instead of putting him up to 2 right away
#563 - States he cannot (through no lack of trying) come up with a reason Insomniac should be alive, except that he must be Mafia
#577 - Argues Robz has gotten the better of the R/I argument regarding Roleclaiming, and asks Galzria to supply the points Insomniac made that were good. Did not like G soliciting advice before weighing in himself
#602 - States he's going to re-evaluate pairs
Relevant Conclusions: Ok, maybe I wasn't paying enough attention, but WOW has Volt been all over me day 2! I've tried to be as clear as I can, and despite his many posts hammering away at me (and Insomniac), I think since dawn started I've been far more forward with my suspicions of Insomniac than Robz. I certainly don't think Robz is as innocent as Volt has acted like he is (since the start of the game really). I want to address one thing quickly here:
Also, FWIW, Galzria's soliciting my and J's opinions before weighing in with any substance at all does not make me any less suspicious of G. The opposite, in fact.
And:
I also have a question for Robz. Robz has weighed in a couple times recently on Kuildeous, noting that - based on Kuildeous's Day 2 activities - he may have been hasty in dropping K from the suspects list. But I don't think Robz has said anything about K's Day 1 vote for Bozzball. Robz, do you find that suspicious like Galzria does? If not, what about Galzria's analysis do you disagree with?
Galzria, whatever responses Kuildeous and Robz give, I would also like the benefit of your reply.
I realize I haven't weighed in on my thoughts on Kuildeous yet. That's because I still have these questions (see above) and would like to see the answers before making up my mind.
Really? It's ok for you to do it, but not others? Sorry, but that really bothered me.
Regardless. I've stated over and over that I'm going to play this round less by logic, and more by feel. LOGICALLY, I would be all over Volt (and in turn, as I'll explain in my next post, Robz) for turning a blind eye towards everything I've said day 3 and intentionally misleading/misconstruing my posts. But logic has failed me on day 1, and on day 2. Instincts and feelings has led to a town win in Mafia-I. So I'm going to stand by my instincts (which Volt, have NOT waivered since the start of day 3), and plan on voting Insomniac.
Post 6 of 6 to come this afternoon/evening.
