Not a bad theory, but I wasn’t the recruit. If I was in the mafia, I probably would have investigated me after that as opposed to recruit. They probably thought I could be the NCAA after that, and wouldn’t have wanted to waste a bid on me if there was a chance I was not recruitable.

I’m looking back at that day 2 vote though, and Clark is the one that sticks out to me. I believe Ctown was up by a vote late, and Clark basically slammed the door with his vote in order to prevent Moores from going home. And that was probably worth being bold about if you’re the mafia, since they would have had no more chances to recruit had Moores gone home during the day.

Vote Clark

I dig this. Plus gets more tied at the top for action.

rescind KC, vote Clark

Ill be on in a bit to see if anyone has any better theories but I feel like every game a mafia votes for a mafia early on in the game. For now, vote Michael

It seemed suspicious to me that Michael logged in to vote, then an hour later an insta fill is announced.

Then I looked into cyfan's posting history and he went pretty much all day without posting so it may have been someone who sent in the kill much earlier. Still may be mafia, but need more evidence

gipper, farnsy and dandy's voting was pretty bad. Moores was an important enough role to stick your neck out for. They got some splainin to do. Cows hint wasn't a subtle one and yet all three were trying pretty hard to "avoid a runway"

Then you look at day 2 voting. Fitzy and Cows tied moores in the vote lead at 4:21. Then Spiker and Cubs follow with votes for ctown at 4:51 and 4:54 to push him back into the lead.

I think one of those two is mafia. Vote Spiker

Put the first vote on the bagman Day 1 when when no one else had more than 2 votes would be pretty risky. I think it's safe to say I am not an original mafia member (and couldn't place an instakill.

Mafia could have tried to recruit me thinking my vote made me look good, but with their low numbers they may have wanted to avoid someone tied to them. I was not recruited and will be going straight to the pros now.

Also, recruiting someone about to get clapped would be a stupid move (Bret)
Please amend my prior statement and remove Bret. I was looking at people near the top of the list. Discussion after voting indicated most people didn't think voting late was because anyone at the top was mafia. A perfect reason to recruit.

I'm curious if moores was protecting someone with his day 2 vote? I don't have much info to go off of but seemed odd.

Moores also voted for Dandy late on day 3 when he was going home.

For now, vote Dandy

From my past experience (which isn't a lot) there is usually a mafia member at the top of the previous day's vote that was likely protected. That could be moores. It's not me. But I am not liking the runaway already.

The quick bang bang votes from Clark and North. North keeping up vote count immediately. Excited to get moores out?

Vote North
Also this looks a little sus

Yeah I’m curious about the day 2 vote, especially those that piled on CTown after this (dandy, Spiker, cubs, Clark).

I also thought this quote by moores is interesting now…
Bret posted last night, and said he was going to vote.

Dandy is MIA.

There is always the risk that Dandy is MIA and mafia, but by voting them out we lose the chance to gain a valuable active poster inno in JM back too.
Now this discussion by moores made sense at the time, but could he have another reason to discourage people from voting for Dandy?

That’s about the best I can come up with for now, so I’ll vote Dandy.

My original vote for Vikes was a joke about his lack of reading comprehension.

rescind vikes

Dandy has voted, so clap is not in play.

I'll vote clark to create a 3 way tie and see what action comes of that.

I'm going to be offline for the next few hours, and I'm liking this theory.
