NARRATOR: (COMING OUT OF CHARACTER) META IS NOT ALLOWED IN MAFIA GAMES OF RANDOMLY-ALTED DESIGN. ATTEMPTING TO DERAIL AND/OR THROW ASPERSION ON A CASE DUE TO META IS REPREHENSIBLE AND AT MINIMUM POOR FORM. IF YOU SUSPECT THIS CASE TO BE ANYTHING BUT IN ERNEST, TAKE IT UP WITH PATHSHAPER IN YOUR PM'S, NOT ON THREAD.
Noted.
Not at all derailing. Simply saying I wish to be certain of Denul. Several things about my read of him seem odd.
Will take it up with PS off-thread.
I already stated when I voted Serc that I'm happier moving on if its possible to remove doubt and find a more definate case. Are you ok leaving Serc be? personally I get nothing concrete from a Denul CF without a lynch to review but I am in no way opposed to it. It makes alot of sense, my gut is the only thing holding me back.
Sercs CF may offer more info about players outside the Denul, Serc duo. Both Serc and denul have said things that contradict each other and contradict themselves. If theres a link I'm seeing Serc as the less threatening but more pivotal player? If you see this as a defence of Denul then you are mistaken. I'd rather deal with Denul Day 2 rather than deal with Serc day 2 purely based on confusion around Denuls content vs the simplicity of Sercs.
I personally thought Serc was a distraction. Here's the thing: what bothered me early on was how a case was building on Serc for symping, despite the well-known adage "lynch the master not the symp." I was similarly surprised that nothing had been said about Denul, and endeavored to make a case. Unfortunately, Denul plays like most do, townie through and through, with many elements we've come to see and love about those we think we can trust. Most telling, however, was how viciously Deul reacted to the accusations and the the subsequent biting sarcasms, pointing out "oh look signalling! oh look more signalling" and then making the bipolar switch to being helpful. And Denul has definitely seemed helpful, doing rereads, posting vote counts, keeping track of how long of the day is left. Townie, right?
As for Korabas, Korabas was a poorly done symp case, trying to lend weight behind the burgeoning case on Serc. The reason I felt suspicious of this case was that it addressed Serc without even acknowledging Denul's attachment to that group. And then we spend today piling up on Serc, who is being called a symp, still, and expecting Denul to be cleared? That just doesn't make any sense to me. So I think, really, there is a lot of deflection and scrambling going on, and that even if Serc is a symp, we will gain nothing from lynching him. Instead, Denul will just have that much more "told you so" and will disappear into the post lynch haze of day 2.
