Okay, here we go:
Post 151 Sasaki FoS's me for going after Caius with the invisibility issue. Nevermind the fact that I have profile-watched many times before, most notably in Cosa Nuova I.
When I ask numerous times for a reason, at first he dodges the question:
Quote:
Well I suppose I shouldn't say.
And then later gives a response along the lines of "I dunno, it's just a gut feeling."
Quote:
You just...the way you phrase things, your choice of words, the things you say. No other word for it but suspicious.
After that, I use the sarcasm defense, probably thinking my time in Cosa Nuova is done (only by lynching) and he playfully role-fishes.
Quote:
Now that's sarcasm. What is your secret and nefarious motive behind using sarcasm?
Four hours later, the Night One kills go up, it's me and BlackAxe who bite it. Judging by the description of the kills, it's clear that I was attempted to be recruited.
Sasaki's initial reaction to the kills is:
Quote:
GH is usually pissed when killed round one.
Implying that he was aware of this before, therefore he wouldn't remove me first in fear that I would play with a vengeance.
Since he had gone after me more than usual in the pre-Night One phase, combined with the fact that I was attempted to be recruited first and the fact that he subtly distanced himself from my kill, I believe that his initial persecution of me was a set-up and an alibi, and he had planned to recruit me from early on. Unfortunately, this plan failed.
Over the course of the first round, Sasaki is a bit more goofy and less serious than usual:
Quote:
This of course proves my innocence without question.
Quote:
*summons bandwagon*
Meanwhile, he begins to ignore others who are questioning him, and Andres calls him out on it:

He eventually responds to Andres, but then when he realizes the Stig wagon isn't picking up steam, he quite obviously changes it to Warluster, with the explanation of:
Quote:
bandwagons are good.
This is a 180 from his previous position. Look back to The Godfather 2, when he was accusing myself, Myrddraal, and Sigurd of being in the mafia (Myrd and I were guilty):
Quote:
Also, if you read back over the thread, those three have started almost all the bandwagons.
Now, I admit that starting small, weak bandwagons have always been part of his strategy, but this is not a small, weak bandwagon. He wants Warluster lynched, plain and simple.
He attacks DoH for voting Sasaki (joining his bandwagon) but not the numerous people voting for Warluster, following his lead, which is in violation of his rule:
Quote:
The reason wagons are good is that we can ask the people on them questions. There's little to debate if people just spread out their votes.
Apparently, this only applies to certain wagons.
And then, of course, we get
the post:
Quote:
I'm not terribly surprised to be under lynch threat today given last game...I can confirm my innocence by tomorrow though, so I'd appreciate some unvotes.
Four days later and we're still waiting. Obviously a stalling tactic to stay alive. Much like TV shows promising resolutions to cliffhangers if viewers keep watching.
Later, in response to his bandwagoning:
Quote:
um yes. Those people were all willing to bandwagon. From their posts we may sometime later be able to judge why.
Note to self: Leave these bandwagoners alive.
You may ask yourself, however, why Sasaki is constantly creating discussion and the like if he was mafia. Mainly, because people were unanimously harping about being more active after the disaster that was Ichigo's game. Obviously, the same strategy wouldn't work twice in a row.
Starts getting short with rdece and pretty much ignoring his comments:
Meanwhile, people start to wonder why Sasaki will be able to prove his innocence.

Ignored for over a hundred posts until DoH brings it up again:

Funny how in
Post 418 Sasaki responds to two parts of DoH's quote but purposely cuts out the quoted bit asking for proof of innocence.
Sasaki stays out of the Tran discussion for the most part, only saying that the two people voting for him aren't really doing it seriously.
Finally:
Quote:
fos:Kage for lurking.
Convenient that there are plenty of other lurkers around but he FoS's the one that happens to vote for him.
Quote:
No townies should be willing to get lynched.
I've already expressed my feelings on this.
Quote:
Can you prove your innocence?
This game would be easy if all the townies could prove their innocence upon request.
Completely ignoring the fact that he stated that he could prove his innocence and failed to upon numerous requests. DoH and I call him out on it again:

Sasaki continues to ignore it...
Quote:
Well, now someone is voting you (DoH). If you keep voting tran instead of trying to prove your innocence, are you going to have to vote yourself?
I call him out on it yet again, but this is his only response:
Quote:
Oh was that on me? I thought it was on "Sasski".
Continuing to slither out of revealing it...
Quote:
It's possible gamebreaking. So I'd rather not mention it.
Quote:
On the contrary, I have no intention of lamely proving my innocence any sooner than necessary.
I'll just pull the old "I would have been investigated already" ploy.
Then, he changes the argument:
Quote:
Actually, if you bother to check I have quite often said townies should do their utmost to defend myself and have done so.
I'm not going to check because THERE'S NOTHING TO CHECK FOR. If you can find
one unedited post of you saying that in an earlier game when you were innocent, I will drop this part of the accusation.
Quote:
Vote:greaterkhaan
Bandwagon vote using others reasoning. His response to my questions is very accomodating, but I'm inclined to see that as a mafia tell rather than a town tell.
Gah! So you're voting him because he...
responded to your accusation?!
Finally, he puts some teeth into his defense and Sasaki pointlessly unvotes him after the lynch round is over.
Quote:
A late unvote:greaterkhan in response to his latest post.
I don't know about this. Sasaki's been known to go after his mafia counterparts in a quick strike and then let them off the hook just as quickly.
Also in that post was a link directing me to the Wikipedia article entitled "Burden of Proof," implying that I needed proof when accusing someone.
I think the parallels between real life law and mafia law stop when people are brought to justice by an angry lynch mob and not a professional team of law enforcement officials.
However, it is, once again, a post that does not contain the information that proves his innocence.
If you have a role, then reveal it. You've done enough scummy things in this game where it's necessary to do it earlier than you would have wished. It will help the rest of us out knowing you've been telling the truth, and you may even find a doctor protecting you in the later rounds.
However, I highly doubt this. I think that after this round, the town will have lynched one mafioso, assuming they follow my advice and go after you.
