Ill ask again. Why bobbyi?
This is known in game theory as the focal point effect. No one wants to be lynched. So everyone wants to pick someone other than himself. But you all need to pick the same person and it doesn't really matter who, so whoever sort of stands out (as I did here by posting in the thread a bunch) becomes the focal point and everyone picks him.
I was aware that by posting in this thread so much I was in danger of getting lynched. However, I was willing to do that (rather than just laying low and hoping everyone forgot about me) because there is a relevant fact that I had been waiting until the day to reveal, and this fact should ensure I stay alive as long as you guys are halfway rational:
I am the angel. (Last night, I chose to protect myself, which is why I wasn't worried about attracting werewolf attention).
The deal I am willing to offer is this: If you guys don't lynch me now, then I will sometimes use my angel powers to protect the other villagers. I can't do that every night because then the werewolves will just kill me knowing I am the angel and they want me gone, so I will protect myself fairly often so they have a disincentive to try to kill me (since it will likely just be wasted), but I will also use my powers to protect others at random; however, I will certainly not do this for anyone who tries to lynch me.
Anyway, zephed has not posted at all in this thread which I find very suspicious. We need to lynch him. If I am lying about being the angel, that will be obvious in time and you can feel free to lynch me then. For now, the right play is for us all to get zephed.
I vote for zephed
EDIT: Btw, there is a good argument here for non-werewolves to be able to use PM for private negotiations. I would like to be able to offer someone angel protection in exchange for not being lynched, but if I make deals in this thread, the werewolves will know who is protected and that I'm not protecting myself so they will kill me, or at the least won't kill the protectee which is a waste of my powers.
