what on earth happened to "there's a scum among ftl, C_F, robz" from back when?
I don't even remember who raised that theory or what was its basis. But the comment got me thinking... thinking about the end of Day 2, and sparky's lynch, and the identity of his (probably last) remaining Mafioso confederate.
This is the votecount immediately after sparky's "confession" post from Day 2 (before anyone else changed their votes or posted further):
Vote Count 2.11
Robz888 (3): Captain_Frisk, ftl, angrybirds
sparky5856 (5): Eevee, Grujah, Axxle, Galzria, Morgrim7 {L-2}
Galzria (4): yuma, sparky5856, Voltgloss, Robz888
not voting (0)
With 12 alive, it takes 7 to lynch. Deadline is Sept. 3 @ 5 p.m. 3 hours remain.
After this, the following things happen in rapid succession, in the last couple of hours before the lynch deadline:
- abirds changes his vote from Robz to Galz
- Galz points out sparky's last post was a confession
- Robz agrees, changes his vote from Galz to sparky
- I agree, changing my vote from Galz to sparky, hammering
We also now know that there is at least one still-living Mafioso, who was allied with sparky and Insom.
Up until sparky basically committed seppuku with the confession post,
it was not at all clear he was going to be lynched. The largest wagon was on him, sure, but multiple players had said publicly they didn't like it, with most of the town (7 of us) split between the Robz and Galz wagons. From this I conclude that
it is unlikely the last Mafioso was on sparky's wagon at the time of the confession post. What incentive would he have to bus? His colleague's lynch was by no means a certainty, the deadline was fast approaching, and with multiple scumfactions around he gets no "town cred" by being on a successful scum-lynching wagon.
And then sparky imploded, and Robz and I put the nails in his coffin in response. I know I'm not Mafia (or WW or SK for that matter), and I rather doubt Robz is Mafia because there was so little time left to go before the deadline - if he
were Mafia, all he had to do to very likely save his partner's life was to keep quiet.
That leaves three living people who weren't on the sparky wagon at Day 2's end:
Captain_Frisk, ftl, and angrybirds. I strongly suspect we will find Mafia among those three.
And now that we know that whoever
is the likely-last Mafioso was on a scumteam with Insom and sparky, I think it's time to reread Days 1
and 2 with this information in hand, particularly with respect to CF, ftl, and abirds.
