PPE: sorry for the wall
despite my years and tens of games of mafia, brevity is still an issue.
So EJ’s weird voting extended a couple of hours before he voted me for stupid reasons, and gosh it looks bad. He unvotes here, 7 hours (got extended a little after this) before day end:
Unvote since I'm feeling better about NQT.
And immediately voted Toony for rolefishing in the next post, and the post after that because he’s voting Town!Tric which, to be fair, Toony was. However, he goes into a minor rant over Toony rolefishing when he wasn’t, and implied Tric fullclaiming in a power heavy game would be bad.
Toony and EJ have a back and forth over the other person voting a townie, not a great deal, EJ concludes
voting Toony is good, but changes his mind 10 minutes later in his next post, citing not being around for day end, FoS’ing Vector.
He makes some chat later because nobody other than Tric posts, gets
in his own head about Max and says the Max wagon, at 5 votes, is for some reason less strong than the 4mask wagon, at 3. He then posts links to Vector’s posts and convinces himself Vector is okay. Says afterward he
actively despises the 4mask wagon, saying that he feels it built up in a scummy way, even though at this point he seems to have come to the conclusion that two of the three people on the wagon at this point - Jim, Toony, Vector - are probably town. He gets asked about what he means by Lenglon and posts this response:
I actively despise the 4mask lynch. It seems to be something that has been building from the periphery, in a scum way, rather than organically formed by town.
What does this mean? I don't understand what you're trying to say about different ways lynch wagons build.
Well, first there was a lot of talk about 4mask. I'm downright afraid to build the wall that would document it.
But from my brief sojourn into the beginning of Day 1, it appears that Toonyman's random finger of interest landed on 4mask, that Toony properly investigated 4mask, and has concluded that 4mask might be scum. Since Toonyman has an inspect of some sort, he wants a lynch of 4mask so he doesn't have to waste his time investigating one of his suspected targets.
However, sneaky Jim started off by planting the seed of 4mask as scum. In a jokey way, of course. Oh look, Jim went around to voting 4mask. How convenient.
Maximum Spin also referenced the prediction of being on a mafia team with NQT & 4mask. But was clever enough to word it so as to not say "yes, we be scum"
Oh look, NQT also predicted that 4mask was scum. But it's only a prediction, right? 
...seriously, any wonder 4mask has 3 votes?
@Vector: You're being fooled, let's find real scum perhaps?
He implies Jim, NQT, and MaxSpin are throwing shade on 4mask, “building the wagon in a scummy way”, fails to cite any of Toony’s posts in the case he spent a great deal of time pushing on 4mask and Tric (despite him thinking Toony is town!) and instead of voting for Jim, still on the 4mask wagon, he elects to vote for NQT, despite Max, the other person “scumilly building” 4mask’s wagon, voting for NQT.
Notable also that during the time EJ unvoted NQT, saying he felt better about him, and the time he voted him again, NQT doesn’t post.
His
final vote of the day is piggybacking Persus’ vote on me, reasoning “fuck it”. He earlier in that post also says he doesn’t have time to look into me, despite having spent the previous 4.5 hours and 45 game posts going through 4masks wagon and some of the points made against him by others (conveniently ignoring Toony’s case, the biggest proponent of the 4mask elimination at that point) and clearing Vector through her posts.
I find it difficult to reconcile the ostensibly methodical EJ he was seeking to present between his unvote and revote of NQT, and the lackadaisical and
homicidal EJ he became at day end.
On top of this, as Jim pointed out, EJ played in Jade Court, the game in which scum!Egan disappeared completely off the face of the earth, much like this game.
So yeah, I was going to look into Jim too, as the teams my gut were telling me were likely were Egan/EJ and Jim/Max, but I think I managed to convince myself the remaining guys are Egan and EJ. I’ll probably do this tomorrow at some point.
So yeah, consider this an intent to vote Egan without actually doing it ‘cause I’m going to bed and don’t want to waste time other folk may want to discuss things, in the case of a hammer.
