Did you notice how long Max was confused about the hammer drop?
Probably a minute if he's even being honest. By the time I responded to his first post he had already corrected himself.
Fluffe didn't seem to notice at all because they responded to my question with reads.
Here.
I mean I knew you weren't hammered because I knew NQT changed his vote to me even double-checked once Tric/Max started acting confused about it to make sure.
I did the same thing, this sounds honest.
Did Mafia want a Toony Lynch?
I don't think they cared.
Theory: Mafia planned to kill one of their own Night 2 during/prior to Day 2, in order to avoid town's roleblocks and protects.
It's true, killing one of your own guys means if a block or protect gets in the way at least...you don't kill each other. It's fucking bad if a Flower tracks you though.
Here's the thing:
There's probably no reason to kill your own guy unless you think your partner is in deep cover (has a lot of town cred) and want to just quickly identify the last Root for game. If you wanted to avoid blocks and protects you could simply do nothing and now you have two mafia instead of one for the next day.
The other possibility is that maybe mafia thought it was likely Max would be lynched on Day 3 (it's certainly possible) and they probably also thought I would be an easy scapegoat for Day 3 the same way I was for Day 2 if Max flipped mafia. If Max was around for Day 3 there's a good chance he gets lynched first before me which means killing the last Root would not let them win.
