Okay. I've been thinking about this a lot. Don't know that I've got things figured out, I would prefer people actually converse with me and respond to my post.
Both
DrumBeats and
Niju have been suspicious of me due to their more recent behavior.
First, there is
DrumBeats. He began to catch my eye last day phase with the only response to the suspicion being cast against him with the defense that if he were mafia, the process elements would have been targeted sooner and more consistently. I have explained why I find this defense to be invalid; the mafia consists of a team, not a single individual. There would be more to consider within the mafia than
DrumBeats' own personal thoughts on how the elements should be dealt with; such as those who are a threat to the mafia members survival. It is a group effort and the fact that
DrumBeats writes it off as something very simple is suspicious, IMO.
When I began speaking on that, suddenly
DrumBeats had come back into the thread the next day, with no comments on my growing concern of him, but instead a random ISO on my posts. That's fine. Everyone can look at my posts; I have nothing to hide. But, I found the timing very convenient. He'd not expressed any desire to look back at me nor any previous suspicion of me (please, correct me if I am wrong). But suddenly, when I have a problem with his posts - he is looking at mine. Now if it stopped there - it would be semi-reasonable.
However, I have a problem with the content in the ISO itself.
DrumBeats analysis of my behavior came with many incorrect statements that if were true, would definitely be suspicious of me; but he stated things as facts that are clearly not, which I've addressed in my post
here.
By no means am I saying that people shouldn't be free to suspect me, but considering the circumstances and incorrect statements found with his suspicious of me, I think that there is a problem there. There is one thing that makes me hesitate -
DrumBeats said that he woke up early and was on his phone, so perhaps he was speeding through, not really being able to fully analyze things and just made a genuine town mistake. But, I would like to hear his response to this and judge from there.
Next, there is
Niju. Now this is kind of difficult. Because,
Niju seems to feel better about me than other players such as
DrumBeats and
JJJ, which naturally, makes me want her to be good.
But, the first thing that I noticed with
Niju was that when
JJJ said that
Niju and I (
K4J) were more likely to be the process; she blew off the idea - completely. Made it look like
JJJ was making things up. But never did
Niju seem to actually consider that
JJJ was right in thinking I was the process. Instead, she dismissed his idea all together. She wanted to discredit him. It just came off weird to me. Don't get me wrong - I am not the process, but how does
Niju know I am not? It seemed to me she was focused on rejecting the suspicion all together - that she wanted to discredit everything
JJJ was saying. I mean when I read
JJJ's claim, yes, I thought to myself - I am not the process. But - I definitely did consider, is
Niju the process? I didn't outright object that there might be something to
JJJ's thoughts. The fact that she did - makes me feel like it was kind of over-defensive.
Finally, this post:

Getting desperate? Way to throw suspicion every which-way but yourselves/each other ("DB would make an interesting teammate" is hardly suspicion). I was curious as to who you guys plan to kill tonight, JJJ and DB, but it looks like you've already stated your plans in the thread. This is fun.
I feel like
Niju is too confident in what is going on, in this post and I think that is suspicious. I know you guys don't know me very well if at all, because this is not my home site and I play here rarely - but I have played a lot of mafia and I think this is a classic scum tell. It's just too aggressive at this stage. People should be confused - understanding that no, not everyone knows what's going on. I think
Niju is trying to do whatever to ensure that she herself is not lynched and that this strong reaction is evidence of her panicking.
Now. I am open to the idea that I could be wrong. I am by no means sold. So please, if people can actually converse, and speak with me, that would be great.
My dumb self just noticed that. It's what I get for putting numbers in order of the votes themselves rather than the order in which they were placed.
