LC, I'm interested in why you rank Bass so high on your baddie spectrum. Is it simply for how he contributed to the LD debate?Do you find LoRab and him equally bad for it or different in their approach? What about the rest of his game?
juliets, I don't think you've been offered that summary yet, so I'll give it a try; by heart, even.
D0 featured a lot of banter (imo, the most since Death Note) due to Golden effectively starting the game by claiming GMan would be interested in revenge lynching him, GMan replied rather awkwardly by saying he intends to actually go with it, DDL and Llama also joked about lynching Golden and then, together with MP, a whole debate on "policy lynching" Golden (lynching him on basis of his baddie victory from Guess Who), until everyone pretty much backed away by saying they were jesting all along.
That still left GMan in a tight stop, further aggravated when, on D1,
his response to MM asking him if he's mafia was seen as a strange wording, either a) implying Watchmen or b) being evasive on his civvieness claim. LoRab and Bass pitched a Lie Detection debate about GMan trying to avoid detectability with his claims, to which Sloonei opposed and, much later, DH felt the whole debate is far-fetched and LC suspected LoRab & Bass for it. Sloonei grew suspicious because of defending GMan, plus because of his ways of questioning players, making Bass feel something is off with him and Llama suspect and vote him for being overdefensive. Ninja also joined in on this, but it made her be suspected of coattailing and got her some early votes for it. Sloonei's lynch was further accomplished with votes from DDL, Elohcin and espers, although the latter two are since frequently questioned as potential bussers. An odd vote move from Scotty (claiming he'll vote an inactive player, but voting a slightly more active one) prompted Bass and MP to jump on him with votes instead. Sloonei flipped mafia, hooray. During the Night, the Mafia killed supatown Llama and the Comedian used his ninja kill to take out Scotty - it is speculated that Llama might have been the Comedian, supatowning hard so to attract the Mafia to NK him and partially achieve his win con.
On Day 2, Nite Owl I or II (DH) [or Moloch, but it's pure speculation] used the power to restrict to poll to just four players, which most of the people didn't find very helpful or the perfect occasion. Most of the votes took the shape of "I'm voting X, because he's the most suspicious of the four and I got nothing on the other three", if you ask me. MM voted himself before going away on his trip and that certainly didn't help him stay out of trouble. DDL made the strongest case on Golden looking bad because of his D1 vote, which he heavily debated with Golden until endgame. Golden and MM were pushed to a five-vote tie and Golden got lynched. GMan voted Russ because he said he fears Rorschach's wrath, in case he'd mislynch a civ, and DH voted LC for (let's face it) not much reason stated at that time. Ninja was NK'd during the Night.
Day 3 featured a lot of re-reads (ISO's) on each player (DH, me, espers, with various degrees of completion) and walls of text and discussion (MP, back from being "stfu'd" during D2, DDL), as well as a batshit endgame, which you can probably revisit yourself, since you replaced timmer at around that time.
Sorry if I missed anything. Anyway, looking forward to your own input on the situation, of course.
Fiddler on the Roof
(Note: This doesn't excuse you from suspicion, mind you. I have none at the moment..but down the line, don't think you can just bat your eyelashes and expect to let your voting patterns go unnoticed)
on G Man. Leaning towards a vote in that direction.
