Because it is a really crucial time for the other townies to believe my town status, consider the following:
Myself and Axxle are the only two living players remaining who were not on the Morgrim wagon. I am the only one left who did not vote for him at all. By doing this, by advocating against a hasty lynch even when I thought Morgrim looked suspicious (but warned that his erratic play has made him look suspicious in the past!), I was really sticking my neck out there if he turned out to be mafia. If we both turn out to be town, I was just advocating smart play.
However, the fact that I was not on the Morgrim wagon has not shielded me from any suspicion. In fact, some have already suggested that I deliberately stayed off to evade suspicion (thus singling me out for suspicion).
The question is, were ALL of the Mafia on the Morgrim wagon? Or did one of them stay off when it was clear his vote wouldn't be needed, to try to build his credibility for the following day (if it came)?
It's a hard question to answer. Which is why my suspicion of you isn't really dependent on it. I'm suspicious of you for the same reasons I was suspicious of Morgrim: based on the town/mafia power balance, I cannot believe that all three of you, O, and Morgrim are VTs.
The simple fact that I was not on the Morgrim wagon does not guarantee my town status. That's fair. It doesn't. But to
single me out for suspicion because I stayed off the bandwagon seems to stretch things. Though Volt had agreed in the previous paragraph that at least some (indeed, two of three at minimum) of the mafia were on the Morgrim wagon, he named no names as suspicious and glazed over that fact.
As town, my day 3 actions make sense. Advocating smart town play at the risk of appearing to defend mafia (better than hastily lynching town!). As mafia, my day 3 actions make no sense: If Morgrim was mafia I'd be the next obvious lynch. And if he's town, I still get suspicion heaped on because it would be "such a smart mafia play to defend a townie when the lynch is imminent." The far better plan is to blend in, blame Morgrim, and appear sad after we mislynch. After all, the game was practically won for the mafia after that mislynch, right?
I'm smart enough to know that someone would pick up on the argument Volt made. I thought it could very well be mafia who made it. After all, if the whole mafia IS on the bandwagon, what better place to point than the lone guy standing apart? So why, as mafia, would I want to make myself stand out like that while advocating what was
clearly good town play, i.e. not being hasty when in mylo.
The fatal flaw but-not-really that I caught in the pre-post edit: If I'm mafia and stayed off the bandwagon, maybe I could have gotten away with defending Morgrim. My mafia buddies wouldn't call me out and the town might completely overlook the idea that I was mafia, feeling bad after lynching one of their own. But this did not happen, I was called out. So is Volt town and just made the horrible argument that even though I defended town, I am the most suspicious? Looks like mafia picking on the easiest target to me guys.
