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.
I looked back again to find K's Bozzball vote. It is a difficult one to find! All lowercase letters and at the very righthand corner of the paragraph. But that's neither here nor there.
I do NOT find it suspicious that K voted for Bozzball rather than Morgrim, now that we know Morgrim was innocent. I can't really fault him for not getting on the wrong bandwagon. Bozzball was also a semi-suspicious character at the time (although now I see that as Bozz's unfamiliarity with the game, rather than mafia behavior), so I understand the vote in theory. I didn't say this, but I remember thinking at the time that with Morgrim and Bozz getting votes, we were doing a great job--the two most suspicious people had the most votes.
Anyway, if K was mafia, I would have expected him to vote for Morgrim, rather than Bozz. This is because the movement was clearly against Morgrim, and a mafia should be paying good enough attention to realize that. So I would have expected a mafia to get on the bandwagon that would eventually succeed.
That was my
original analysis, but now I see the advantages for the mafia to purposefully NOT back the person who is most likely to be lynched. And K's Day 1 explanations of his votes are weirder than the votes themselves. He's always saying he doesn't know anything, doesn't have any idea, but then votes Insomniac randomly, Bozz mostly randomly, and does a TON of hedging on Morgrim (his Reply #200 is just doublespeak).
So, I'm not sure I find him suspicious for the same reasons Galzria does. And I don't want to bandwagon him. But my initial thoughts about him are wrong, his Day 2 behavior has drawn attention to some things about his Day 1 behavior that now stand out and... I'm trying to think about more complicated mafia strategies. And he would be one person in place to be orchestrating a much more complicated mafia strategy. Especially because now it seems to me like at least one of the mafia is probably a non-Morgrim voter. And, well, there's only two of those people left.
Does that help, Volt? His Bozz vote--the timing of it, at least--isn't suspicious to me. But these other things are.
