WAVE THE TOWN BANNERS BOYS
You are so ****ing arrogant it disgusts me. If you're not the last mafia, we almost deserve to lose. Town can totally decide that their own lynch is in the best interest of town.

Agreed. Watching basically a post-game conversation happen when I know the game won't end with my lynch is fascinating, and partly why I stepped away.
The lesson to be learned from this is that not everyone does well under pressure, and that doesn't make them mafia. When you start ramping pressure up on a townie and asking them questions that they just don't have good answers to, it's easy to crack. Or freeze up. I watched Ratchet melt at the end of day 1, and thought "that looks horrible, but I'm town, and I don't know if I'd do much better in his shoes." Thus why I was horribly conflicted about him on day 2.
I decided that seeing what reactions others had if I froze up would be the best way I could help the town going forward. Reactions of note: Riki switched votes to me, and Banks proceeded to throw himself a grotesquely-undeserved parade.
Tomorrow will be Banks vs. bhuber, who again will be largely absent. Maybe it will be a more productive conversation than Banks vs. me. Just don't let Banks dominate the conversation because bhuber is MIA. I mean, I want Banks to be mafia with every ounce of my soul, but Achro is right. It takes some huge balls to be as smug as he just was if he's mafia. Then again, it's Banks.
Going forward, I've greatly thought about who each person wants with them in the final 3, including tin-foiling Achro/Slendy/fonti. I don't really want to discuss my conclusions about them, as that just feeds the last mafian info about who's a better kill-choice. I simply urge everyone else to consider who those 3 would want with them at lylo and then think if their actions/votes make sense today.
Final thoughts on if these people are the last mafian:
Banks: Only gets to the final 3 if he's mafia and bhuber is lynched tomorrow. I think I'm too biased to say anything more about him than I've already said.
bhuber: gets to the final 3 by letting Banks and me explode all over each other today. Exactly like he did. He didn't even bother to vote when he did show up, cause it doesn't matter to him which of us goes first, as long as everyone forgets about him. This combined with Banks disgusting little parade almost makes me hope Doc was right and that he should be lynched next.
Riki: gets to the final 3 in pretty much every scenario I can imagine. I had the toughest time imagining who he'd want with him, but in the end, I think he would much rather have me there than Banks. I think him not voting for Banks today is very telling, and I have a very difficult time seeing him as the last mafian. If he is, he deserves the win.
Good luck, team. I've done my best, and I think making it to day 4 is far better than I expected, and not a bad representation for my forum.
