In fact, looking through at my own posts before I left, I never once said to stop the discussion; only to do so regarding the Day 0 poll information and I believe my reasons were clear. Despite my declaration, I'm not holding a gun to anyone's head, I find it interesting that players believe that they could no longer then discuss information; of course, they were free to, but personally I found/find it incredibly unworthwhile at this point.
Not only that, but I never once stifled discussion regarding suspects; in fact, I was hoping to see much discussion regarding that while I was gone.
So how could a certain few individuals actually so strongly see my intentions as nefarious at this point in time? Is it because they are misguided civvies or are they truly nefariously trying to start a bandwagon against me? I'm undecided.
I have to say, I find it that Leamiteo and Dom, both of which I am very happy to be playing this game with by the way (as well as everyone else, of course), seemed to express incredibly confidently that they'll be voting my way, yet we still have an entire 24 hour period to go, and I believe it was because I seem so controlling. Right, because that's indicative of my behavior one alignment or the other, and isn't just how I like to be in general... I find it kind of interesting given how players were arguing that I was so baddie in MOTU right before my outing and so many players there were arguing it was because I was controlling... and that was right before I outed myself as a baddie.
What might be even more interesting is how llama says these two things:

I think I need to step away from this discussion for IRL reasons and due to giving other players the chance to catch up and have the discussion shifted elsewhere. I want to see it organically develop... and I'm afraid I'm domineering it too much now; baddies would rather me keep talking and have me or someone else guide the lynch a very specific direction and then say what I or someone else said makes sense. I'd rather that not happen.
I am not sure I have been seeing civvie Alex this game, but this paragraph reassures me a bit, at least for the time being.
This at 4:41PM EST yesterday. Then...

His big push for info followed by a big push for silence could easily have been a way from the baddies to plant some false seeds and create false trust, or just to gain knowledge about the civvies who had info. I like your contributions very much.
This at 8:07PM EST. Seems like a very subtle way to push the thread in my direction... but I can't tell whether it's just llama attempting to put his civvie feelers out or whether it is out of malice.
Llama, while I can understand your hesitation to trust me (which, again, I encourage, as it is mafia game after all, and if players fell into line trusting me just because I was contributing or 'controlling' so much, I would question that), why the change in gut feeling; do you mind explaining?
Anyway, I have to get ready for work now. As to suspects, I really have none of my own at the moment, I'm attempting to feel all of this out.
Linki: Snow Dog, you entirely misunderstand. Your contributions were incredibly helpful. So much, in fact, that I personally believe I have a good idea of exactly what happened in the Day 0 poll. Because of that, however, I don't want to discuss it any further. Does that make sense?
It's not about "remembering"... it's about the journey. I knew absolutely nothing about the Day 0 poll until you and Bullzeye revealed you had information. Then possible explanations for what happened on Day 0 began to surface, and then llama threw out the idea that six different players who were civvie could have received information corresponding to their options on the poll, and it's the idea that made the most sense to me at the time, and still kind of does... despite it's inherent flaws and very ballsy attitude. Just because I believe this to be a fair possibility, even in the face of more 'simple' and more 'fair' explanations doesn't mean I'm attempting to mislead or shut down anyone.
The very fact that you stuck your head out to assist the civvies is commended, and you and Bullzeye will not receive my vote today, as I stated earlier. I find it interesting though that others are not willing to see the same of me; I've done nothing but stick my head out this entire time, and it's gotten me nowhere.
