The Settlement [Concluded]

[Andres]

This is entirely correct, I was very energetic in my defense of Ares because I felt like he was being bandwagoned to death. I honestly thought he was innocent until late in the day and I didn't see many other people standing up for him. I try to lynch someone I think is guilty every day. I didn't think Ares was guilty, and as such I had to put in a lot of energy into his defense because there was a lot of energy attacking him.

What is interesting, is the fact that you rigorously (does that word exist in English?) defended him. Why was his survival so important to you? If you were sure he was innocent, then why not looking for another suspect and trying to convince town to lynch that suspect?

What you did now, was defending one suspect and you had no reasons to be 100 % sure of that suspects' innocence.

The main question is, why was defending Ares so important?

This is silly. I wasn't at threat of being lynched yesterday, so I had no reason to lynch Ares to save myself. I certainly would have done so if it had been necessary, but it wasn't. Since it wasn't necessary, I was free to vote based on my actual feelings of guilt or innocence, not self-preservation.

That's entirely unrelated to what you quoted from Sasaki

Sorry, but I simply disagree. I've never even heard of a mafioso being anonymously revealed as a mafioso in a write-up. It seems extremely unbalanced to me and thus I thought it had to be a red herring.

I think the write-up was obvious enough. Interpretatio cessat in claris

This has never happened in any game I have ever played or read, so I stand by my statement that this kind of thing doesn't happen. Obviously I can no longer say that, but it was true to my mind at that time.

Monsieur is a conservative?

I was well aware of that, but other people were actively claiming that it was faked. I was refuting their claims as part of my defense of Ares.

If you say so. All I did was defend someone I thought was being railroaded to an early grave. No one should be bandwagoned without discussion, especially not on a 'serious' first day, and I didn't see a whole lot of other people discussing it.

Yes, but the emphasis was too much on the defense of Ares. That in combination with the fact that Ares made it clear with his unnecessary second reveal that he was indeed scum.

Your strong defense of Ares, in the proces not paying attention to other possible suspects and the fact that Ares was as good as certain scum, make you look very suspicious.

ATPG, do you have something to do with the dead of Beefy187, the tax collector? IIRC, I read somewhere that you claimed that your victory condition was to outlive the tax collector.
