looking into MP as either Adam Smith or Akerlof...

Again, I understand how you feel, splints, I've been there when I've overextended myself and invested a lot into a game emotionally and time-wise; hell, I've done that this game.
I want you to know that I'm willing to take a step back and consider every possibility, even that you're a civilian, but at the moment, my rainbow reads as previously stated still stand.
MP's last post about splints on Night 3. it came at
2:53 pm EST. the night kill was revealed at
6:22 pm EST. the
very next post after that reveal by any player was this:
MovingPictures07 wrote:First off, WTF, a surprising NK indeed. RIP TinyBubbles, hope to get to play with you again soon.
Secondly, I've mulled over it, and I'm pretty sure I'm wrong about splints. Where does that leave us? I want to look at Roxy, but I don't know where to go thereafter. Discuss.
Be back later.
so it was definitely an extremely abrupt reversal. and MP is not easy to shake from his suspicions -- especially not without input from other people. left to his own thinking, i would never expect this. so i agree that it supports the notion of an investigative role. moreover:

- If he were cursed, it's highly dubious that it would have taken effect as early as Day 1, before any night actions could be submitted. It also cannot be due to the D0 poll because literally NO ONE else has had this problem, and many others voted the same option as he did.
- There is no apparent role on either the civilian or mafia team that would have to be cursed as such.
If there even is an explanation otherwise that would cause him to be cursed for all 4 cycles, why not Day 0?
If there even is an explanation otherwise that jives with ALL OF THAT, then he would have broken or failed the curse EASILY with his most recent pictures interrogating DDL. I've never seen that unpunished from a host. If I were hosting, that would be a violation.
Therefore, G-Man does not have to post in all pictures.
He is therefore a mafia.
I have some guesses:
- He's Adam Smith, the invisible hand, which makes him unable to talk directly.
- He's the Ludwig guy who only talks in the night, so maybe he can't talk directly in the thread (though he's still posting pictures in the night so I dunno).
He is not Adam Smith. Even if he was, that would be a ridiculous posting restriction. He also posted during Day 0, which is key.
MP's only mention of Adam Smith after DDL's Bubbles theory was to say that someone else definitively
is not him. so that's interesting too.
before that, MP carried on
this discussion with splints and others about Adam Smith and the risks of outing that player in light of the stolen Malthus kill.
also of note was the Night 1 kill of Epignosis. Adam Smith used Elohcin's role on Epignosis -- and MP was quite vocally suspicious of both of them.
this is compelling stuff i admit. but it's also still conjecture and dangerous to rely upon
too heavily. i'd invite the input of sanmateo here most of all, because he suspects splints more than anyone else.
