Lots to respond to, but I don't have that much time (partner's birthday tomrrow) so I'll see what I can get to here. (and will be on later, at least for some short times to post quick thoughts).
Yes, gave to sudgy, no one claiming they needed it, felt safe giving to someone I read as towny.
You mention the stealing."(I'm becoming increasingly suspicious that nobody else is interested in this, but I think it's still worthwhile for my own benefit.)"
I'm fairly certain I mentioned the stealing a while back, let me see if I can find it: Here it is:
So what do people think about who was able to steal? i.e. I don't think joth could N1, since he flipped goon.
Because I 100% agree with you that there's some weirdness going on here. So thank you for your detailed post on what was claimed stolen and when.
I really don't see why scumapasta would push the 1v1 each day. (unless there's a 3rd sailior, but I've basically discounted that idea). I think that and D4 speak to my being town.
when I said skip vs mail-mi was 50-50, do note that meant a change in the direction of mail-mi. I had been leaning more towards skip until it was pointed out that that would mean scum would've started with both codebook and notebook. BTW, my still unanswered question to the mod (no worries, I know you're busy) was to ask if item distribution was random?
Assuming it's not, I'd be ok with a mail-mi lynch today. I do think the fact above and skip's desire to remind people of the stealing push me in that direction.
It is possible that faust is not scum. I do think it's unlikely.
Am I the only one who things joth giving the codebook / notebook to faust (via Mix) and then faust lying about it (saying on one day joth is telling the truth, and then doling out new info* the next day) quite suspicious? I don't see a valid reason not to expose that the day he got the items. (if true, it would be good info to know more about Joseph's true role, and it would show that Joth was lying, and add to his scuminess factor)
So while I do still more strongly about faust and prefer that, I am currently off the fence on skip / mail-mi. I would love to get an answer to my question on items before we vote, but if I don't I'll assume non random. And that points to mail-mi. I could go with that another day.
Yes, you expressed interest in the stealing, and it was unfair of me to suggest that nobody was interested. What I meant, was nobody other than you was interested. If you look at my post, I actually start by quoting your post, because it was the catalyst to get me to start doing the work.
About pushing 1v1 each day, I distinctly remember that on D2 galz and mail-mi had competing wagons, and you were pushing galz hard. I think you're confusing pushing the 1v1 (potentially a towny thing) with pushing me and not pushing mail-mi (definitely a scummy thing).
I highly doubt you will get an answer about the item distribution.
Yes it is strange that faust lied about the notebook. But it is also strange that he told the truth the next day. Maybe even more strange, I would venture.
