Ok. So here is the post which caught my eye and made me think very much:
Depending on whether Raindrop turns out to be scum or town, our eyes should remain mostly on her initial "aggressor": Viral Maze. If she turns up Mafia, then Viral can be trusted fully; if she turns up Town then Viral most likely set her up. Either way, that puts it at about a fifty percent chance that could go either way. Viral's life would hang in the balance if we all decide to go for this, but I would much rather lynch a mafioso today than any other Day.
Ok. Let us assume he's mafia and Viral is townie, ok?
First of all, he's pushing very hard on Viral. And really, there are more possibilities than this. Mafia isn't so clear. I'm sure it happened before that a townie created a bandwagon on another townie. Don't tell me it hasn't happened.
So this is how I see things.
1. Viral votes Raindrop.
2. Thareous notices this. He knows who his mafia fellows are. And none of them are Raindrop. So Raindrop is townie. He comes up with a plan which makes Viral look scummy. This is because if Viral is townie, then he is a potential threat to the Mafia. This would also make Thareous look unscummy.
3. Thareous says that if Raindrop is town, then Viral is scum.
4. Raindrop is lynched. She is revealed townie - as Thareous would know if he was scum.
5. Now, if Thareous' plan was correct, and everyone believes him. Since Raindrop turned out townie, Viral is scum.
6. Then the town would turn on Viral, and Viral would be lynched.
Mafia: Raindrop lynched. Good. Viral lynched. Even better.
I just read over that. I don't think it made sense. So I'll shorten it up, the events happening if everyone believed in Thareous.
1. Viral votes Raindrop.
2. Thareous says that if Raindrop is townie, then Viral is scum.
3. Raindrop is lynched, and is revealed townie.
4. Since Raindrop is townie, Viral is scum.
5. Everyone votes Viral, and he is lynched.
Mafia win.
Now we would flip the roles. Thareous is townie, and Viral is mafia.
1. Viral votes Raindrop, hoping to get the town against her.
2. The town (or most of it) goes against her.
3. Thareous says that if Raindrop is townie, Viral is scum.
4. Viral knows Raindrop is townie, as she's not scum. And also, he's being voted for, and suspicion is turning on him. So he makes a post trying to explain what he did in a very smart way.
5. Raindrop claims.
6. To avoid further suspicion, Viral unvotes her, satisfied, having led the town to lynch her.
Both are very possible. It's also possible that both are townie. If that's the case, then... well, they are both townie. They could also both be scum. But that is the most unlikeliest scenario, for obvious reasons.
Now, looking at these two scenarios, I think that Thareous being mafia is more probable. Viral lied. I don't think any scum would take such a huge risk. The town could go either way - lynch him or not. But Thareous's reasons for putting suspicion on Viral makes much sense.
Now, we if look at their other posts, I think Thareous seems the most scummy. I've already posted my reasons why. It's not much, but I'm pretty confident in it. If you want me to find it, I will. Thareous just has that scummy vibe from him. I don't feel that for Viral. I may be wrong. But it's my best bet. And I've got a week to figure things out.
While I had initial concerns about Josh, an important concealed message in one of his posts erased my doubts.
I don't know about you, but this made me thing Josh is probably townie:
I'll point this out to you guys now. The only reason I'm not voting for musicfan is because he is new. That may be shoddy reason, but I've been in a few mafia games, and there's always those few players that just can't spell and can't type and can't make a paragraph and just look scummy even though they aren't.
Take a look at um.....Sith Lord mafia if you want to. I was godmother in that game, and PokaLink was a townie. I used his newness and awful posting ability against him like a pro and got him lynched in like a couple of pages on Day one. Newness is an awful reason to lynch someone, and I'd be suspicious of anyone who uses it as a good reason.
Also, I'm going to sleep now. Good night, guys! :wave:
