Well nothing's happening, I have enough votes on me to be banned at threshold, and tomorrow might be busy, so I guess I'll just go ahead and give my "death post"/final defense. Want to sleep, so this won't necessarily be as thorough as I'd like. Cannot commit to any responses afterwards.

First, why I'm actually not mafia and should not be lynched.

1. The kill on bizaro86. If I'm mafia, there's no mafia votes on Bonded. Killing someone who was not on Bonded makes the game so much harder. If the mod had happened to be someone who was not on Bonded, it would've made the game 6 not on Bonded + 1 mod = 7 very probable villagers vs. 6 remaining players not on Bonded. I would not have done that.

2. Breadcrumbs. It's not much, but when Bonded asked who would win the Conn Smythe. I responded with "If you must ask... ". Which is a reference to the "I moustache you a question" meme, i.e. Bennett. I was attempting to leverage the information without revealing it. We know now scum was privy to at least the Conn Smythe thing, but it's still not confirmed that they knew about Bennett, since Bizaro86 gave that to them (after my post). It's not much, but it's something.

3. Day 1 vote on GGG. Nobody has figured out why I did this, but I told you it was for something in this game. It was because he voted on Hockeyguy15 after saying that we should not vote out experienced players as they would be more useful alive if town. I caught him in a contradiction.

4. Attacking GGG Day 2. I'm not getting as much credit for my role in his lynch as I think I deserve, because I thought it was worth exploring other options and ended up without a vote on him. I'm also not getting enough credit for being able to read how the day would end up. If I were mafia, it would be much easier to stay on GGG at that point.
Because I'm town, I made a point to note that regardless of future events, even if I was night banned, that he'd be a good Day 4 lynch. I wasn't letting him off the hook.

5. Attacking WinnipegFan. His revenge vote was entirely predictable. If I were scum, I wouldn't have targeted him. Instead, I'd be trying to orchestrate a final three that's me, him, and anyone who voted on him. Do not let the Oiler do that, particularly now that I've told him about it. Lynch WinnipegFan before final three.

Next, my legacy if I am lynched.

The kill on bizaro86 gives me reason to suspect that one of the mafia was, in fact, on Bonded, because GGG is a good player and may have realized what I said about what I would've done above. But I am not yet ready to see that as more probable than that they weren't. Four lynches, five players not on Bonded... I'd choose one to trust and lynch the rest. For me, it's Hockeyguy15. I like his aggression vs. GGG. Could be playing the long game, but it's the bet I'm most willing to make. Of course, should you see me as sufficiently exonerated by the above, I would prefer that it be myself. Otherwise, my legacy would be to lynch WinnipegFan, mrkajz, and devo22. You would, of course, gain additional information (though likely not much through votes, as the votes and scum have already happened) which could be cause you to deviate from that. As would I, should I remain in the game.
