Here's what happened. I made a vote on a hunch against Diamondeye, and found a bandwagon against me in return. It's day one, silly season. It's getting late, and I have to work that evening. I'm not a power role, and I'm not indispensible. So what's the point of arguing seriously? Whatever happens happens.

Methos caught me on IM and asked flat out if I was going to bother defending myself; I said "nope". He unvoted.

I'm glad Beskar and some others gave him some pressure for that. Forget me being mafia for a minute and assume just he is: it's a heck of a lot easier to make such an unvote if you're mafia and you know you're right (and furthermore you know you can prove you were right at any convenient point in the future). However, given that it is Methos, I personally don't consider it to have been a suspicious move. He knows me well enough to make it understandable. He might be mafia or he might not be, but I won't be trying to make a judgment based on this.

If it's true that you don't feel 'invested' in the game, you wouldn't be the only person to feel like that; Centurion told me two nights ago that he was finding it difficult to integrate with the game because he couldn't see a viable way for the town to win and that it was hard to form logical arguments with no real evidence. It was him saying this that made me change my mind about you, really. My response to Centurion was as follows:

So keep strong and keep yourself posting; you're a valuable asset when you're town, moreso in this game. :3

I'm not un-invested at all. Don't mistake an indifference to a day one lynch with not caring about the game as it progresses. This game seems it'll be basically like trying to ferret out a pair of serial killers, given that we'll never know if/when we've lynched the first one. Trying to find serial killers is FUN.
