EoFF XXVII Game Thread - Day Five - Showdown in the Velvet Room

[[M] D'Anna]

I was unaware my rather...terse method of communicating was somehow indicative of my guilt. Especially since I was attempting to communicate in-character.

Your logic seems flimsy and your rather defensive accusation has done little to assuage my worries.

Except I never once said it was a solid indication of guilt. As I explained, I've used it as a tell on some mafia. The three who typed the least in their opening post were you (Theodore), Aigis, Elizabeth and Junpei. That's where my suspicions begin --- but this is not the determining factor I use to decide whether or not a person is mafia.

My accusation was not "defensive." I was the one who started the game off by stating I have a few suspects in mind.

As far as standing out, I was the first person to give a vote, was I not? Why would you christen the voting booth in an attempt to remain under the radar? It seems more likely to draw attention as opposed to avoiding it.

And even if my strategy was to avoid making what they call, a splash, that isn't necessarily evident of any alignment in a vacuum. Many townspeople with power roles or merely cautious play styles do the same. It's not uncommon for mafia to try and puppetmaster the game as well.

How curious.

Yes, and you also ignored my direct response to your vote.

Putting a vote on someone who has a list of suspects isn't standing out. It's lazy. Instead of doing some critical thinking or analysis on your own, you're just voting for someone who already has in hopes that they'll give you the information.

What I also find curious is how two of the four people I initially suspected (Aigis and Theodore) are bandwagon voting someone on Day 1.

That certainly is some ridiculous reasoning you've got there, Akihiko. If that were the case then we must have 5 mafia here because 5 players made minimal "I'm here" posts.

No, some of the other posts are different. There's nothing really concrete about what I'm suggesting, I've just effectively used this as a tell in past games. I'm going with my gut on this one, and it usually leads me to the right answer.
