Any of them COULD be the Godfather.
I concur with Tincow on Andres. Is it possible that he allowed himself to be on the chopping block 2-3 times without acting -- just trusting to non-chalance as a means of avoiding the loss? Yes. But I agree that it is not likely. The only thing against him, in my mind, is his current absence. I recall him using a RL move to justify his absence from the game during the run up to the end -- and he won as the serial killer.
taka steadfastly maintained his active lurker status, even when targeted. Unlike Andres, he did make one or two specifically self-preservtaionist votes. He cannot be ruled out. He participated very actively -- a couple of voting rounds -- in lynching me. He could simply have been following Reenk's lead while lurking, but I was the one putting pressure on him. His earlier posts almost all feature a "I'm really a small games man" or "I'm not fussed if I get lynched" theme, but his recent activity level and style of post -- involved, enjoying the interplay and humor -- is VASTLY different. This pattern of behavior just SCREAMS mafia to me. Yet most of you do not see it that way....what am I missing?
Reenk is awe-inspiring. He led several lynches -- including mine -- with a jauntyand a "you just feel scummy to me" and it WORKED. The gravitas is just staggering. My problem in assessing him as the Godfather is that he very well could be that "out there," risking a game end at any moment, and playing it precisely that way because it appeals to him more than any other approach. Essentially, the case for his townie status boils down to: No Godfather would ever be quite that cavalier. The case for his mafioso status boils down to : it's Reenk, yes he just might. At best, I get a bit of the sensation he gave me in MG1 as Loki -- in it for the thrill of the game and, while trying to win, not worried if he misses as the game has been fun (which it has!). Overall, still mixed thoughts.
Beefy. Dearest Beefster. You have been on my "hmmmmm" list since very early in the game. Despite what others have said, and you have claimed, about your activity level, you just seem so much more "present" in this game than in any other I can recall. All of your posts seem genial and reasonable -- yet you frequently allude to gentleman's agreements etc. as your rationale for votes and pursuits. All in all, you have been involved, informed, reasonably responsive when prodded, but have not EVER gone after someone, pushed for information, or really taken point on anything. It's almost like you're a politician at a party which hasn't been "polled." Everyone will recall you were there, nobody will think you were doing something offensive, but nobody can really point to anything you did or said except to say that you seemed to be enjoying yourself.
All in all, if I were the one to pick, I'd probably vote Beefy. It's close, as I find taka a goodly bit and Reenk somewhat suspect as well. If its Andres, then he's bested me here. Still, in the final analysis, I'd say its 187Beefyz by a steer's nose.
