Waffia Day SEVEN

[Jonathan Meer]

Why the late reveal, Meer? Why not call bullshit on Whompt earlier?

Honestly, I was probably going to vote Whompt today, but you just made me extremely suspicious of you. Extremely. EXTREME.

I gave my explanation above; if I wanted to be useful as Doc at any point in the game, I had to keep it quiet. Or, I had to resign myself to constantly protecting myself (which, honestly, I'm pretty cool with).

The initial scenario was, Whompt was pretty much guaranteed dead, and I had no idea a meddling (hint hint) role was out there that would nix his death. Had I known you would have pulled what you were going to pull, I MIGHT have self-revealed, as that probably would have put him over the edge. I would've been an insta-target (and, once they realized I was protecting myself, they probably would have gone after Kaden, and I'd have to start second-guessing them), and I wasn't comfortable with that.

As I had thought Whompt would die, then I saw no reason to self-reveal. He was a vote away from lynching. If he'd been lynched and shown to be Mafia, then the question as to whether or not there even was a Doctor was up in the air, and I remained anonymous.

As to why I took so long to mention it, I've been on autopilot the last few days. Not much sleep. The way I saw it, as long as Kaden was legit (which, again, I had serious reservations about, though they all seem to be misplaced now), I could afford to play conservatively; we were coasting to victory. Then we found out there were four mafia, and our lead quickly got whittled away.

After Whompt was essentially given a reprieve the day after you pardoned him, I pretty much had to stay silent. It was better for me to stay silent, able to save people, and knowledgeable that Whompt was full of shit (you'll recall that I've, ever since his 'self-reveal', been consistent in calling him out), than die to his counter-argument (which I wouldn't have the information to defend against that I now do). He would be lynched the very next day, but that would give the mafia two kills, one of which would be Kaden.

If there were only three mafia, huzzah, would have been useful, calloo callay. If four mafia, we'd be fucked. And I think we've all had the irksome feeling ever since the beginning that we may very well be dealing with four of them.

I can't allay the suspiciousness, other than to say that I'm telling the truth, that the truth in this case may look suspicious, and that I'm damned intelligent enough to spin shit so it doesn't look suspicious. I'm of the opinion that I don't have to do any of that spinning. I, again, am not the one that was found with a gun.
