Time for me to sit down and think this through.
Why not? Assuming you’re not Mafia, by your reasoning it seems highly likely that either I or Millsy is guilty. Assuming one of us is, if we both die, there will be 2 Mafiosos and 8 villagers remaining. 8/2 (4 villagers for every Mafioso) is better than 9/3 (3 villagers per Mafioso) if you’re on the villager’s side. Even in the event that we’re both innocent, the ratio would change to 7:3, which is still pretty favorable to the villagers and eliminates two suspects right off the bat, making Mafia members easier to identify. A double hang, by your reasoning, would, in strategic/statistical terms, almost certainly be a win for the villagers as a whole.
Pointing out how guilty you look is a great strategy to win people’s trust if you are guilty, as is appealing to your own experience. Just sayin’.
It could also be that, if Rise is a villager, he simply chose someone at random. Since there’s not really much evidence about anyone yet, one choice is about as good as another. What interests me here is that you accuse Rise of being a Mafian–thereby making Millsy look innocent, reducing the odds of a double hang which, by your reasoning, would probably be advantageous to the villagers–with no solid evidence, and an argument that boils down to guesswork and an emotional appeal to paranoia. Seems rather odd for someone who’s usually pretty rational…unless he’s part of the Mafia, and is trying to cast blame away from himself.
Apart from that, the thing that makes you suspicious (being prone to dropping slippery things) is the only trait on the list that describes a specific action–an action we know took place–whereas all the others are weird but don’t necessarily mean anything. For example, apparently “I” have some experience as a kidnapper, but we know nothing about the specific methods I used–I might not be prepared for a kidnapping in this particular situation, or perhaps my skills have gotten rusty.
I dunno, for now I’m voting for Millsy out of attempted
self-preservation, but if more people vote for Chro I think I’ll change my vote
back.
Edit: You know what, scratch that. I’m probably going to die anyway, so I might as well die doing what I think is the right thing to do. I change my vote from Millsy back to Chro.
