The Godfather, Part 3 [Concluded]

[TinCow]

1. I like being the CoP, which gives me a sense of higher purpose than a bogstandard townie. In games where I just have a townie PM and nothing else I tend to get bored and relapse into my non-serious mode. In here, I try to be more active. In any case, most of the post is made because of Point 2 (see below)

I made no comment on your level of activity, only your posting style.

2. Anyway, why couldn't I defend Tevash? Note that Sasaki and RR did too... is there anything preventing one townie to help defending another townie because the first townie believes that the second townie is not exhibiting the classic signs of mafianess?

Your defense of Tevash is not unusual. Indeed, I specifically stated that you provided some good analysis for him. What I find suspicious is that you completely changed your normal posting style to defend him. It is this change in your behavior that is strange, not your defense of Tevash.

My complete "aboutturn" on the Tevash issue can explained quite easily - He was active during the discussion on his lynch, yet did not respond in anyway. In any case, as NOBODY ELSE has mentioned BTW, at that point it occured to me that Ignoramus* had quite a big chance of being the detective (see the post where I quoted his posts). More troubling however, is that people seem to think just because I supported Tevash for one and a half phases I must support him all the way to the end?

The problem is that your about face is very inconsistent with your previous statements. You were one of Tevash's leading defenders, even defending him before he revealed as a detective. You continued to defend him in pretty much all of your posts, well into the phase when he eventually got lynched. You were even the person who emphasized that he might not have replied because of his time zone. While your reason for your change of mind is reasonable, it is simply inconsistent with your actions over the previous few days. It stinks of a mafioso attempting to make himself look innocent when he decides his partner is about to get lynched.

3. I did not try to "convince" others of it, I was just stating my personal opinions, which are not infallible - never did I say "The write-up says this, it must be truez!", whenever I stated something from the write-uo (exluding posts from yesterday), I always included a tiny snippet explaining my doubts. Yesterday's post was an exception, mainly because I had reverted to my non-serious mode after a high activity phase, and became vague and annoying.

I did not say you were trying to convince others that only the Godfather was left. What I said was that you seemed convinced that only the Godfather was left. The way you worded your posts indicates that you personally actually did believe that both grunts had been eliminated. As far as I can tell, there was no way to know that, especially not with the degree of certainty that seemed to be emanating from you.

Also, Tincow I believe had misinterepreted the meaning of Post 1116 (I think) where I "accused" Sasaki of being mafia. This is not the case. Certainly, the write-up SUGGESTED that Sasaki was a member of the mafia group, but I was never sure. Post 1116 was a reply to this post https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showp...postcount=1114. Here Sasaki produced a detective role PM - in my non-serious mood at the time, I said Sasaki must be guilty, due to his preparations and "backup" role PMs. However, because there was a post between Sasaki's post and mine, the meanings of my post became... er... confused.

There was no misinterpretation, because I've never commented on your statements about Sasaki. My references to that post are about your claim that only the Godfather was still alive. It's obvious that your statement about Sasaki was a joke, so I've ignored that.

But I assure you, if I am lynched, not only will you lose a most talented lynch-management-guy, the game will also continue, because I am not mafia, not a henchman, and certainly not a Godfather...just a normal townie.

Thanks for reminding us of that again.

Would you also like to comment on my earlier points about how you continue to try and use mafia-written kill write-ups as evidence?
