Could it also be that the mafia killed Persus who is just an Evil third-party here?
I don’t like the way Lenglon was acting around Max’s slot on D1, suggesting he was a third-party out of nowhere, then adding another person into the tie near day end which included Max. Questions would arise in a two-way tie over why the survivor wasn’t killed, putting Max under the spotlight during the night and next day, less so in a 3-way tie. You telegraphed that you were going to vote Tric, but Tric was being townread by lots of people so there’s no guarantee they accept a Tric lynch so easily and not just tie the votes up again.
Now she seems bothered that NQT has monster tags, even though she claimed monster tags as Neutral, and Max claimed monster tags and she thinks he’s a survivor, so I’m not sure why NQT’s unclaimed monster tags are such a bother, except possibly in light of
4mask’s claim he interacts with scum monster abilities in some way. Given that at least Lenglon was townread by 4mask for claiming that, there’s no reason for scum!NQT with monster tags not to claim to get town-cred, but that’s a bit WIFOM.
Given the kill flavour, I’m at least convinced it wasn’t a monster type kill, but scum died soooo… yeah.
Absolutely not happy about EJ’s vote, and also not sure why Vector acknowledged Tric’s meta of acting scummy as town, which is exactly what he was doing, and was voting him anyway.
Equally so, Jim thinking Max wasn’t scum because of his meta, despite all the inconsistencies in Max’s behaviour, but was happy to vote Tric despite him following his own town meta.
PPE: should probably post piecemeal instead of trying to get all my thoughts in one post, there’s a lot to posts I haven’t read.
