John Doe Wrote:What I think, from what I've remembered reading and from what the GM has said about Night 2, is that Kaden (Caitlyn) or Vad (Victor) is definitely mafia. It can't be both. Kaden has been very hesitant to lynch Keiko both today and the previous day phase, despite being the most reasonable choice to go on. I also find it strange how he claims to have an investigative power but hasn't used it until last night. It seems more reactionary or triggered than an active ability, like a few people have suggested. It seems more likely that Vad was trying to use his power on Kaden, but Caitlyn's power prevented him from doing that and instead revealed him. It seems like a very forgiving version of the "Grandma with Shotgun" role that everyone seems to be giving to the mafia.
I know Doe said that we posted at the same time, but I'm going to respond to this anyway just so it isn't the last thing people read regarding me.
I explained my ability. The first night I used it on Mal. He super died and it was irrelevant.
How have I been, in any way, hesitant to lynch Keiko today? I didn't unlynch at any point and have been committed to the action since the day has opened. The only reason I seemed hesitant yesterday is because I was, like, the one person willing to openly question what Rose was telling us and what you were pushing for. To me, that's not being hesitant, that's being critical, which is an important part of this game. It's inevitable that I get called on it because it plays out pretty much the same way it would if someone was just trying to bs people into stalling. Can't do anything about that, though, that's part of the game.
I do want to stress something about this, though. The flavor bits that Ashe posts are intended to be absolutely nothing but flavor. You guys are taking it as gospel (and did last game, as well) and read into it far more than you should be. I honestly wouldn't be at all surprised if, after today, Ashe is tempted to type absolutely nothing but bullet points of night abilities simply because people read too much into them. He's already kind of done that. If you'll notice, the posts are, thus far, much shorter than they were in the last game.
I say that, mostly, because I know Ashe won't (not right now, at least), despite how much he actually feels that way.
