Mr Kajz is moving up the radar for me.

First was his post where he questioned whether the spore carrier would know until night. This was different than what others were assuming.

Is it possible the person who received the spore would not know about it until the night phase? That would throw a kink into the assumption that if the spore already turned someone, then that person would remain silent. Maybe I'm not reading the description of the spore correctly?

He explained this here:

It turns out my speculation was right that if the spore was given out and the person was not turned, they actually don't know until the first night.

We really have to watch assumptions being made, especially early. The clan thing really threw the game off the rails in the last game due to a lot of assumptions (or guesses) being made about them.

But it seems like he had extra info.

Second, he defends Diss for over reacting on the two votes. This could be to gain cred if diss flips town or defending a buddy but why is he defending someone so early?

Third, he agrees with others suspicions about party but waits to hop on the wagon. Why doesn't he throw the vote out earlier.

However, re-reading Diss' posts, I just don't get the feeling of scum and I think he just was venting a little frustration of being targeted early. I'm interested to see his future posts as alluded to above.

For me, thinking about some of the posts that came off as "different" early on, I have to say that Seb's strategy definitely caught my attention. It has some merit for sure, where there is simply too much noise with lots of posts. Sort of a direct shot against "the more information the better". It's a bit outside the box, but not a terrible idea.

However, what struck me as much more interesting was the way Party sort of latched onto that idea and ran with it. It seems like Seb thought out that strategy and wants to stick to it, but Party just grabbed a hold of the same idea and uses that to explain a very low post count, that has little to no content. Party also said they were new to Mafia, and I'm guessing drawing a Mafia card in their very first game would be very nerve racking and the fear of slipping up would be great, hence the low post count without much substance. Their instant vote sort of tears down that argument though, but maybe it was just heat of the moment?

So, I'm sticking to my idea of waiting until Monday to make a voting decision because posting is so infrequent on the weekends, but Party is at the top of my list for now. I'd like to hear a little more from them.

Also the initial reason for suspecting Party is a direct copy of mine so was he waiting to find another argument to make it look like he just wasn't boarding the wagon?

I think I like MrKajz as scum more than Party.

Would still be willing to lynch Party but not really a fan right now of lynching because people are inactive but they need to step up.
