With this phase it feels like not much has happened but there is also a lot to sift through. It's odd.
Anyway first of all just some ideas regarding the two substitutes we have had. I'm gonna be inclined to say they are townies purely based on the fact that I find it difficult to believe a HHA member would be completely absent from the game. Obviously this is pure speculation based on how I see things but just wanted to throw that out there, now on to the topic at hand.
So I have read through from Day 2 again and I'm just not feeling Freakazilla as Mafia. In Day 2 he came across as real antagonistic when a vote was placed on him, I imagine a Mafia player would be more subtle about it than he was, I mean revenge voting seems something that just begs to call attention to you. I suppose it could be some double bluff where he comes across as to obvious but I find that hard to believe. Also gotta agree with Kalor, the idea that a Mafia player would decide to not partake in discussion till its down to the wire seems unlikely. With all of us in different time zones it's going to be hard to sway opinion at the last moment. The player who I am more suspicious of right now is...
Vote: Nin1000
It feels like the bulk of suspicion on Freak comes from his Day 2 behaviour, but reading it through again Nin just seems to be acting a little bit more strangely. It's all ready been discussed about how he jumped in to defend Freak, but if I was uncertain of a players alliance and they were also coming across as antagonistic I probably wouldn't back them up unless I had a reason to. Could they be partners somehow? (not to convinced), or maybe Nin was backing him up just to have a 'see I supported a good guy!' example later. There was also some odd behaviour in my mind when he didn't cast a vote against Hippie yesterday. Now admittedly he was in second place, but if a few more players decided to cast a vote for Nin not much was needed to achieve Plurality. A vote for Hippie could have been the difference between life or death for Nin, yet he didn't vote. Where I struggle here is why would Nin not place a vote, maybe you can answer that one for us?
