Told ya, I can't even vote for the most suspicious person anymore because it's a bandwagon, ohhhhhhhhhhh (Check Midagard Saga, and see Sasaki bandwagoning)

Xiahou if Pannonian was Mafia wouldn't he have checked the list before when choosing who to kill? So that would make me assume he is not Mafia as he did not even know who was/was not playing.
I'm not going to vote you, but you remain suspicious in my books.

Vote: Proletariat
Hmmm... Proletariat isn't even playing
Seems like a poor attempt to prove your innocence.
Pannonian under hard pressure from the town: "But I can't be mafia. At the beginning of the game I didn't even know who was playing. If I were mafia, I would have checked the list of participants to make my choice for the first kill, wouldn't I? So I must be innocent."
If I remember correctly in GH's games the kills might be written by the mafiosi or GH has tailored them based on a few instructions from the mafiosi.
The first kill caught my eye. An obvious frame of someone like CF (spanish reference). But I am thinking a young player since everyone old enough knows that Bulls are colourblind. It is not the red colour that catch the attention of the bull but the movements of the cape.
Or this could be a frame of the young players.
There is not much to go on here but the town's interest is not served by having a no-lynch this round.
Vote: pevergreen
A shameful bandwagon I know... but you are one of the young players.

Truly awful, patronising logic, Sigurd. I don't know where to begin.
You are only excused if, by some strange quirk, you can demonstrate to me that this fact [bulls are colourblind etc] is taught as part of your national curriculum at a set point in your country, & therefore, you have assumed that it is the same in every other.
Poor argument, & a bandwagon to boot - stand up & be counted Suspect No 1.

AHA!!!
So I hit home with my patronising... I guess you don't like being called stupid in public mafioso.
I guess the old ruse tactic still works.

A repeat of the Andres fiasco - I really should check the lsts before voting. Reenk it is then, for the same reason as before, and I'm sure he's playing.

That's why I go for Pannonian for now.
Thanks for the compliment, but note I was the first to vote for AndrestheCunning in Capo, starting a bandwagon that only stopped when HughTower pointed out you weren't even playing. My arguments may sound pretty clear and sharp, but I really should check some of the details before voting.
all i can say is this entire round has me utterly confused ... can no-one keep their vote for more than 3 posts? can someone put up a tally so i can see where the winds are going because im utterly lost as it is

In what way is my logic poor? The assuption that only youngsters believe bulls sees red?
Maybe I overestimate the British school system that still teaches the dogma that Bulls actually can see the colour red.
I guess I should include all the UK players to my suspicious pool.
What is wrong with Bandwagoning? This is the only way to reduce the number of players and lynch a possible mafioso. If all voted differently there would be no lynch and absolutely no chance to catch a mafioso.
Bandwagon is a necessity.
My retaliation vote was because you got angry with my assumption which was a ruse BTW. Taunt the Mafia and they will answer.
You answered and seemed a little offended. Did I offend you? Did I patronise your well thought kill description?

You're right, it is the only way to actually get someone lynched. However, the bitter taste in the mouth comes because people simply tend to follow one 'influential' player, trusting him fully and therefor not taking the evidence (if there even is any) into account. So yes, numerous votes are needed to lynch, but those votes don't have to necessarily come out of a bandwagon.
okay so we seem to be killing reenk here which is a bad move he is a good asset to the town not only because he tends to be a focus for discussion but hes also good as a mafia hunter
so to bring this to a draw i unvote votePevergreen

Yes, that is the poor logic to which I was referring. It is also patronising. It is a common misconception that, in no way, is related to age.
Now you have since stated that this patronising tone was deliberate:

My point of argument is that you are using your 'poor logic' as an a thinly veiled excuse to bandwagon. Bandwagonning is bad, because the easiest place for Mafia is hide is in the herd.
So, in summary, I argue that it was a deliberate ruse you contrived so as to hop on the nearest bandwagon so the town would lynch one of their own.

My vote stands.
You didn't offend me. I am not Mafia, nor am I young, nor did I write the kill.
Your assumption/argument was 'truly awful', in terms of its logic & patronising nature. Again, because a retaliation vote is seen as unhelpful & scummy, you have contrived my percieved anger as being of an indignant mafioso (& frustrated author).
Now these are my arguments, I won't reiterate them (at length). If anyone else would like to add their own conclusions (fresh eyes etc), that would be much appreciated.
I like Sigurd's attempt, it's the type of thing that will start some actual discussion. The colorblind thing is also taught, though I was taught at age 9 or so so I don't see the argument there.
