How would this work? So I’m inno. Somehow this starts a train on me and I get lynched. Everyone learns I’m inno. And then salty is somehow cleared?

OK, let's say you're innocent and you get voted off today based on the theory that "the mafia would not make somebody vote for a mafia member". So you come back innocent, and the rest of us go, "gee whiz, guess we missed the mark on that one. Guess bsalty must also be innocent. Otherwise, why would the mafia make him vote for an innocent?"

But it could be all smoke and mirrors, intended to distract and make bsalty look innocent.

Again, this is supposition. I don't know what the mafia's thought process is.

Ok I’m tracking I think. Maybe this is the kind of rule that has been in games before I started playing mafia but the rules this go round seem a bit odd. But considering who’s mayoring it, it makes sense.

I agree with all of this. I don’t expect people to trust that I or JM are inno just based on the fact that mafia influenced my vote today. Of course I am inno, but people should still be skeptical of everyone until we have more concrete stuff to go on. Still, I thought it was worth sharing that my vote was influenced.

I think its more than likely that both of you are innos and this is just going to lead to pointless conversation throughout the day to lead us in circles. Obviously there is the chance that both of you could be, but with just one day of votes to go off of, I'm not sure that looking at either salty or JM would lead to much of anything.

Michael is one I don't think is out of the woods yet, but the lack of action last night makes me think mafia was content with the results. I do think there's a good chance there's one mafia in the 6 that voted for the two randomizers though. Sara always votes oldman so I'll let her pass. Michael was self-preservation. I'm going to vote Clonies for now. Just a random out the 4 remaining.

This logic makes just as much sense as anything else. I’ll vote 2015 out of that group of 4 until anything else comes to light and there’s just no way I can trust that guy again.

Why do you think mafia voted for the randomizers? Wouldn't that draw attention to them?

No, he just feels like you are deflecting. I have stated in my theories that it was grasping at straws, and he feels like you were trying to push the attention elsewhere.
Ah. No my vote wasn't a shot at you at all. I even said earlier that it's not a bad theory for day 2. Sorry if it came off like I was coming at you.

I took it as him meaning mafia are in there because they may have voted for either of those two and Be comfortable not moving because they knew both of them are inno. That obviously goes out the window if Micheal is or is thought to be mafia.

That's why I think there's potentially only one in that group. Yeah it would draw attention but enough people there to blend in and try and lay low for a bit for attention to die down. Randomizers are a good way to potentially avoid consequences for voting that high and the person you were pushing to randomly get killed so you could again spin it however way you would want.

Discy was one of those that Michael could have voted for last night to tie it up. For whatever reason, he chose to vote oldman.

Today, Discy has a vote for bsalty, but with the statement of "no cats, boo this man", effectively. I think this is fishy, especially given the discussion around the potential mafia strategy of making bsalty vote for JM4CY today.

Vote Discy.

I like this theory.
