Well I'm alive at least. Barely.
I was leaning towards Voltaire before. But the more I think about it, the more I doubt myself. Honestly, the more it looks like TvT, which is annoying.
Volt's behavior seemed weird to me at the beginning, but on a reread it seems understandable given that he had this weird, game-warping thing to reveal. His semi-desperate, "please don't lynch me" attitude since the claim reminds me of when it came down to me vs. him in Game of Thrones, when both of us were town.
Here's a question for you Volt: I still don't understand why you didn't claim and allow the target to be decided democratically. Using your power in this fashion is akin to a vig or SK, I guess, in that it allows a single player to influence who dies in a serious way. Did you think your judgment was better without collective input?
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of a compulsive gladiator as a scum role. It doesn't exactly make sense as a town role either, but it makes *more* sense--it just seems so weird if scum were forced to be out in the open like that, especially in a game of this size.
ash's claim at the beginning still doesn't sit right with me. I think his behavior has been towny but with ash it's hard to tell. So I hope I'm not being forced to choose between one mislynch or another.
faust, to answer your question it's mostly just a gut feeling, as others have said. My attention has been elsewhere obviously as you are not a lynch candidate today, so you'll get more focused rereads later. If I had to pin it down I'd say that in previous games I suspected you for being more talkative than I expected at the beginning of the game, and you turned out as town, but now you are quieter than I expected, so I suspect you based on updated Bayesian reasoning.
I will think and sleep more before I vote. My brain is still pretty foggy. It's kind of weird being the tiebreaker here, almost as if I were the third party targeted by the gladiator event.
