Think of this scenario. I am a scum. I contributed to Leo's lynching (who will flip town, since Whatley is scum and I'm the godfather). I did this by being aggressivly supportive of Whatley who more than 2/3rds of all players have already named as a suspect at one point or the other. So I am scum, and Whatley is my team mate. Where does this leave me, exactly? Why would I defend Whatley so much? Why did I switch to Frank and not Whatley even when his fate was sealed?Jerry Seinfeld wrote: ↑Fri Oct 20, 2017 6:24 pmThese are related so I'll answer together. I can easily forgive you for being wrong about Whatley. I don't think that's a good reason to suspect somebody, at least not at face value -- indeed, civilians are inherently prone to wrongness given their lack of information. That's the point! However, I am concerned that your efforts at the very end of Day 4 were so kind to Whatley that I am forced to question your sincerity. You went to some trouble to supply a civilian read in that case, and it could have swayed the lynch permanently onto Leo (and if Leo is a civilian that sends us to LyLo).George Costanza wrote: ↑Fri Oct 20, 2017 6:12 pm 2. Why was my EOD4 so bad, Jerry? I mean, more so than my usual?
3. I genuinely got upset when Whatley flipped. I was happy we caught a scum of course, but really felt bad about my reads. When I posted that post about how it's not possible to have 2 cops? Elaine made fun of me, but that was me feeling dumbfounded and genuinely bad at how wrong I was about someone. Right after I'd gotten it wrong about Leo too.
If I was scum, and I did try to get a bandwagon on Leo started, and this didn't happen for whatever reason; wouldn't it have been smarter to iso Whatley and hop on that bandwagon?
I was dumbfounded he was scum. Seriously. I had faith in his vanilla-role. He plays confusion well.
But play that scenario in your head, and since you THINK you know ME, tell me, does that sound like something I'd do? Is it a win/win scenario? Will you cite to me mafia games where someone did that and say I give you icky feelings because it's plausible. Anything is possible. But what are the chances, is what I'm asking.
