It seems you fools are still suspect of an innocent man... either that or the idealists are doing a wonderful job at redirecting you.
I didn't want to have to jump at conclusions, but saving my own bacon seems to be the most important thing here, not just for me but for the group as a whole in order to protect myself. Will I be forced to reveal my exact identity so soon? Due to the misinterpretations of all of you? Is this really the route you all choose to follow? The vote is not definitively against me, not yet. There's still a chance I can bring you all to your senses before time runs out on this small clock ticking down my seconds.
I suppose I'll have to find a better target out of those that I suspect and those who seem eager to kill me in return. I need to find a way for you to see... so let us cast a new light on a few of our unsuspected killers, shall we?
Johnny Mustang is first and foremost.
If we go for that logic then that doesn't mean he's innocent, if he knew that Absol was Arayoshi then that could mean he's Misa, or L.
That hint in the post makes you two the only options for now, unless you can find a better option you 2 are the most suss by now.
I always suspect of inactive users who just comes in to vote, there are a few, but even those aren't better options than you two.
To be honest Johnny if I'm suss of anyone right now, I'm suss of you. Maybe I'm a little bit harsh to him in my previous post... but I really don't suspect Ulli of being in the wrong just yet. He's been on the side I considered justified for a little bit now and despite this early transgression I don't distrust him just yet.
You didn't believe Klippy when he said he was Near...
I don't believe Klippy, he's not Near, he wouldn't just say it, but i don't think that's enough reason to lynch him. He's just desperate to live haha, and that's ok.
While you didn't immediately incriminate him, you did go against him at his word. You and I are alike in some ways... you said this once... and such a subtle sleight of hand to show opposition without suspicion is something I view as a beneficial tactic, I myself would follow this logic were I actually an idealist. Let's look at the benefit you gain from taking this stance.
If folks believed that Klippy was Near, then they would aim to protect him completely. As they did in the end... meaning that it was rather important that the populace didn't believe him.
But accusing him so openly of lying? Claiming he had a malicious reason? Much too risky. That's the kind of thing that gets you killed the next day phase thanks to a lynch... and we all know that losing an idealist that early into the game is a bad idea.
So what's the alternative? Simple. You give a reason for him lying... or at least try to... one that isn't malicious, one that doesn't paint you immediately as his enemy. Shame it didn't work, people believed Klippy was Near and up until this now he was safe because of that. Still, you couldn't continue to refute the fact after the very night you attempted to kill him... because somehow you and your lot messed up and got Gio slaughtered anyway as a result.
So pursuing Klippy further was too risky! Your point against him and the reasoning for not trusting him entirely was NEVER totally disproven yet another word of opposition escaped from your lips. Instead you followed the trail of "oh he's protected we're good" and decided to blend in like a wolf covered in the wool of the prey he stalks!
Might also be worth mentioning that you were all for voting against Netto... even though we know he was completely innocent.
I guess it's obvious that Klippy is Near then, now, Soichiro has to protect him everynight? Or maybe he should do it once in a while? I hope this will confuse and distract the mafia, we're doing great so far but they might already have one or two possible targets, Soichiro's actions will become essential from now on, so whoever you are Soichiro keep up the good job!
I'll have to agree, netto it's the better suspect so far, so [Arrest] Netto Azure
However despite this, you gave absolutely no vote against Gio, in fact you held your tongue on the matter until the proceedings came to a close. Maybe circumstantial... but the fact remains you refused to vote for a confirmed idealist and were ready to arrest and innocent member of the populace the very next day. While you describe some things very well... I don't believe you ever gave any reason for lynching Netto other than the fact that you "agreed" whole heartedly with all the points made up to that point. All of which were false I might add.
About them, but something ocurred to me. Was the fail kills really a fail? Couldn't be that the idealists strategy it's to kill the less possible? After all, if they kill L, Mello and near we're ****ed, besides, they've been choosing their targets way too perfect. The idealists should be really good or experienced players, something's smells really bad with the way they've been playing.
If we were to assume you were idealist, by the by, then this post is also painted in a different light. This would be a very effective way of diverting the peoples attention away from the mafia's actual tactics... you say the mafia have to be incredibly intelligent and playing a long and smart game...
Or, and I counter-point,
They're a bunch of bumbling bozos and they needed to try and subtly cover their tracks to pull things back from a horrible mistake and failure of a first lynch for them. So Johnny makes the perfect idealist play, by acting with our best interests at heart... all the while throwing us off the trail.
But he joined because someone left right?
And here's the nail in the coffin.
"I joined because someone left..." You used this point to further back up the point that to know that Absol was Arayoshi... I'd have to be Misa or L.
So you think this gives me reason to be a potential target?...
And what if I told you that you're only half right? What if I told you that it's possible for me to be L... but impossible for me to be Misa?!
*Court Murmurs.*
I replaced someone because they were kicked for inactivity. Do you know what this means? It means yes I inherit my predecessors role... but it also means that said predecessor was inactive in the game, it means that the person whom came before me was not contributing to the game as a whole!
Look at L's role... he investigates once per night... he can submit a public report once a day. Yet look! We have nobody calling judgment on anybodies affinity... we have not a single person claiming the name of L for themselves and nobody accusing anyone as a result!
For all we know Ryu was the original L... he was kicked for inactivity... Shak followed suit and then there was me. You're right, I could have sussed out Absol's identity because I was L and I could just be biding my time. I could be L.
But the same is not true for Misa! There were hints about Misa preforming an action in the Opening Posts of multiple days before I even joined the game. You following my logic yet? Or should I slow it down since before now you clearly didn't understand before?
Misa was all but confirmed to be active before I got here. Therefore whomever is Misa could not have been kicked for inactivity. Therefore I could not take her place.
In other words, it is one hundred percent guaranteed that I am not Misa! Take that!
In fact think about it... if I replaced someone whom was kicked for inactivity? Then it's completely impossible for me to possess any idealist role that was confirmed as active before my joining.
So thank you Johnny. You showed everyone that I could, as much as anyone else, hold one of the most valuable roles in the game for the innocents... you also gave me all the material I needed to prove beyond a single shred of doubt that I am not any of the idealist roles that have been confirmed as active.
You also gave me a reason to go digging and to find some pretty suss thought formulas surrounding you as well.
And before you tell me that it's all conjecture? So is everything you have on me. So you'd best think about that point a little harder.
Does this give you wild animals enough of an excuse to cancel your stupid bandwagon? If not then seriously, go ahead and arrest me. If you're really still willing to lock me up after all of this then I give up anyway... nothing I could possibly do could help secure a victory for you if you're making decisions based on what evidence there is against me.
