Waffia Aftermath

[Kaden]

Let's hear the rationale, Mario. How were you apparently aware that there was an evidence-planter? How did you know I was Maf, despite Whompt clearly coming up as guilty in an earlier investigation?

Like I said in that earlier post, I was working under the worst-case about the evidence planter. I also had no idea how that role works. Whether that can perma-plant one person or temporarily plant a different person each night.

My rationale for picking you is because you're a smart player. Your good at this kind of game. You'll recall I posted "this is what I expected" on the last day, because that was EASILY the best play for the remaining mafia. If we hadn't reached a consensus to lynch you that day (and I almost let it go to the next day on purpose) here's what would have gone down:

I investigate Meer. Whompt protects me. Meer kills Jarka. I come back with an investigation of "guilty" on Meer and you claim that's because Whompt planted evidence on you, which is why he showed up guilty to begin with.

If you hadn't made the claim of doctor, I probably would have ended up going after Whompt. Or, at the very least, if you had made that play differently. As I said, I think you're a good player at this kind of game and I see absolutely no way you'd protect yourself every single night with the kinds of accusations and self-reveals that had been going on.

Ultimately, though, I left it up to Jarka. She was willing to bust a one-shot power on Whompt and, in the process, make it blatantly obvious that she was an easy kill. Then she found you more suspicious than Whompt. The two of you were about even in my mind. The two investigations that turned up guilty (or pseudo-guilty for the gunsmith) were still pretty damning.

So yeah. That was the thought process.

I know Waff thinks (or thought, I don't know) that there was some cheating going on. The night I came back with "Leo is guilty" I was originally going to investigate Orsalis. I changed my investigation to Leo a few hours earlier. His suspicion was that Teemer was telling me who to investigate, which was not the case. I already explained why I investigated Leo. If you know me, you know I have no problem making leaps in games like this if I think there's a good enough reason or that it will be interesting. So there's that.
