This is completely true. But in your suspicious list posted earlier in Day 1, you included Hades, but not Hephaestus. Your claims to have any sort of reason to be suspicious of Hephaestus only came in Day 2 to defend your vote. This also seems very suspicious to me.

Apollo has also made my radar today. But I'm not sure if his constant, argumentative posts are scummy or just amateurish. Him randomly casting suspicion on the two people who now have more voting style based on the chance of the game mechanics is just sloppy either way.

Hades is also still on my "suspicious list," though has been silent recently (which may be suspicious itself, speaking of lying low).

If I had to vote right now, it would be for Hestia again.
I think you could see her vote to save me in a few ways. 1) We're both scum and we know it. 2) She is scum and the scum are keeping me around to be their scapegoat. 3) Felt sorry for me, which I serious doubt in this game. 4) Is telling the truth about her reasoning. Take those things as you will, because I know how I'm being painted. That being said, however, I would like to take the opportunity to delve into some of the bigger aspersions cast upon me.

I fail to see how my behavior thus far is scummy. Until this post I have employed no logic whatsoever in my voting style because there was no type of evidence upon which to base a vote. I could've voted for Medusa, because she had snakey hair. Because that line of logic is way gooder and smart. My initial vote was for Hermes because, and here's where I was actually being stupid, I thought he'd made a legitimate roleclaim that'd been edited to RONALD REAGAN by Zeus Murder. After realizing the error of my ways, I just kept my vote with Hermes for no other reason than he was pissing me off. However, I also knew that Hermes would never be in any danger of being lynched. Just in danger of getting his ass whipped by me. When one has no evidence to go upon, one makes a safe vote that will not get one in trouble. Or so I thought, anyway. Not only did the majority of the other gods accuse me of acting scummy for being random, though several of them admitted to making their day 0 votes at random; they also basically accused me of being dumb.

Take from the above whatever you like, I'll go on with my suspicions below.

I think Apollo is behaving rather suspiciously. He has, several times through the course of this thread, chastised bandwagon behavior. However, his vote for me seems pretty strange. Shortly after Hermes and I started our war of words Apollo admonished the both of us for arguing, saying that it was distracting. These posts followed:

Also sorry Appy, I just have to make fun of people that do things like that. I cannot help it. I have tried and tried but I can't restrain myself. It's who I am. I will try, for you, but so help me god if he pulls the "WHY YOU SO DEFENSIVE?" line then I can't hold myself responsible.
I forgive you my child! Overly defensive behavior isn't helpful to town & must be punished severely!!!
Within a single interaction Apollo went from chastising both of us to calling for my severe punishment for "overly defensive behavior." Beg pardon? Hermes was the first to be defensive over my vote for him. I admittedly retaliated, but I didn't even instigate the war of words and I was accused of being overly defensive.

This, though, is what really concerns me.

Given that I'm one of 7 players tied on 2 votes I'm starting to worry my ass might get lynched. 4 of us have been voted for by 2 other players with 3 others only being on 2 because of self votes. So time to act to save my godly a$$ as its currently me vs Hades vs Tyche Hestia.

Tyche honestly hasn't posted enough for me to get any impression of them as a player & from what I can see the votes for them are totally random.

Hestia again I see no major scumish behavior. Again random Day 1 voting.

Hades on the other hand has spent most of Day 1 arguing with Hermes (whom I'm not suspicious of all they have done is speak their mind) & post general nonsense which I feel is a hindrance to town. Not to mention the roleclaim!!

So as a result my vote is now

##vote: Hades
I have no issue with the vote for me, but I have an issue with the reasoning employed. He has no suspicion of Hermes and considers me at complete fault for the ensuing fallout, which other gods may also. Even so, I made a "safe vote" with a semi-ridiculous reasoning and was raked over the coals for it. That's not even the weirdest part of this line of reasoning, though. It gets weirder, because Apollo then states he believes my posting of "general nonsense" is a hindrance to the town. Not only is Apollo guilt of this behavior himself, he participated in her Hades/Hermes nonsense as well (discussed performing a stunner on me.) Finally... and this could be a misread... but I feel the final statement in this post accuses me of a roleclaim. Perhaps I am mistaken, perhaps Apollo meant to say my issue with a roleclaim... but I really would like to have some light shed on that statement. What roleclaim are you speaking of and how does a roleclaim make me suspicious?

While I do agree with Poseidon's assessment of his suspicions of Hestia, Hestia herself has brought some pretty damning evidence to light about Apollo, with whom I already have issue. His conflicting statements were designed to entrap her. I wonder why he's changing his tactics.

I'm not ready to make a decision at this point, because there are more people I'd like to hear from and, of course, I'd like to give Apollo a chance to respond.
