CC is on my suspicions list, but he isn't my top candidate to vote off is (a review of my posts should make it clear who my top candidate is). If someone I'm suspicious of is getting a lot of votes against them, I'll join in. Now that CC has posted a bit more, I may rethink this vote. I haven't had a chance to review yet. I fully admit that my voting style is that I tend to be a joiner, because I think that the players moving quickly (and somewhat unpredictably) tends to be a solid strategy, especially early in a game. If I see votes accumulating for a guy I'm even remotely suspicious of, I'll join. You move quickly on them, and either they react or they don't, but either way it gives you a better read on them, as it did with both Blaster86 and CC.
It seems like you're suspicious of me primarily because I was one of 5 posters who voted for Blaster86 early on day 1? Here's what I would say are the problems with that:
1. It would suggest that I'm in collusion with other guys including street pharm and drake. Yet I advocated voting for frontrunners at a time that both street pharm and blaster were tied for the most votes (without advising people to vote for one or the other, although I did in a later post single out Pharm for having a high post count that disguised the fact he didn't really contribute anything beyond unconvincing self-defence).
2. After blaster reacted to additional people trying to lynch him, I was the first person (I think) to state that I now believed he was a player (and I do feel bad about my role in voting Blaster because I know that it lead to flameswin's death.)
3. I voted for Drake just 3 posts and 15 minutes after you, and many times before that I expressed to go along with voting for the low-voting players if we could get a large number together willing to do so.
I also know that you were suspicious that declaring our identities might play into management's hands, so I can also see you be being suspicious of me on the grounds that I was an early adopter and advocate of that strategy. And I can't really offer any defence against that, except that I believed then as I do now that it was a good strategy, forcing management to scramble and possibly reveal information.
