Not at all
to answer both you and GP
1) I wanted popular to die
why
a) Paranoid about Judas the entire game
b) to get past dp1, I hate it
2) What is a way to do that and get information? I perfectly well could have let the wagon go on him, but notice that he was one of the first on me and didn't even mention the vote count and look how fast others jumped on me. Getting an easy mislynch is the goal of mafia, and missing facts like that is something they would avoid. I told myself I was going to town lock the first person to bring it up (bullish in this case). Because it was glaring obvious at the end of the DP with the 7/5. I was curious if I would get a reaction from throwing that vote there, did not expect to get the type of reaction that I got. Which was just blatantly disregarding that he was already dead.
The fact that he got on the wagon, didn't mention it, and also was online during the np (quick nigh phase which he brought up himself ironically, almost as if he was thinking about it way to much). Makes me lean toward him. Granted I have not played with him. Not sure if he would just mishammer and be like "o hey, i'm a noob my bad" or if he is actually enough of a noob to misread the count
I would def wager most people don't have the balls I do, to just decide and go with it so
1) was a mistake and he actually killed him by mistake
2) it was intended and going to be framed as "accident"
the vote served 2 purposes 1) get rid of my paranoia about judas while ending dp1 because its aids, and 2) see who would bandwagon on the last person who votes without even mentioning the vote count
As far as his claim, I think it's quite likely that could be his actual character and if I were betting, mafia as in past games likely have some role to tell them what is in the game as far as roles (because of no fake claims to balance it).
Will sleep on this more tonight, but that claim is very good fake claim. Whether I'm willing to actually go after him or just throw that mistake up to noob is something I'm still debating. Because it's also possible he just fucked up, and mafia would jump on the wagon for the mislynch. I think there is a lot more to be learned with who is on the wagon / who ignored that he was the kill more so than directing everything at him. The reactions around it are more important currently partially because I know nothing about him, and being wrong about him (if he is actually telling the truth, could quite literally fuck us)
