I went back through the thread so far and the best case I can come up with is Doom. He claims VT after only 2 votes (no where near being lynched) and claims that he knows I am as well. This after he accuses me of lying but doesn't really state where he knows I am lying. Further, I don't believe there are ANY VTs in this game. Since this is an official game, I would expect almost everyone to have some sort of power role, post restriction, or other quirk that makes them non-vanilla. So, Doom claiming VT is suspicious in and of itself.
As to Doom wanting a response to his "accusation" of me being a VT, I still want him to tell me where I was lying. As I stated, I don't think there are any VTs in this game and that is all I will reveal about my role at this time. No one is currently voting for me and until I get a significant number of votes, I won't claim.
Two other things stand out:
1. Doom and Rishaed pushing for no lynch, especially in light of the rules where there is a 50% chance the highest vote getter will die in the event of a NL. Voting NL wipes that out. It is just noted for now.
2. Ghostly's overreaction from before is noted as well. I think personally its not much of a starter, but he hasn't posted lately as well to respond. It may be time to pressure him as a secondary case.
Also, those who don't want to hang Sully simply because he is inactive - do you want to hang someone, or end day 1 with NL?
Next thing is this beautiful example of skimming. I clearly posted my closing thought on my "over reaction" here:

Vote Jonty Because obviously we are talking scifi. I havent even read/seen anything about lovecraft before and it is quite apparent after 3-4 pages of talk about it. This seems to be a pathetic attempt at throwing out a vote and hoping someone will take the bait and go too far with it.
unvote vote ghostly because you seem to take seriously a jokevote
How do you not take it seriously? Sarcasm doesnt transfer over the computer, so the only thing I can assume (not knowing Jonty's play too well) is that he was actually serious and was skimming. Nothing in there says sarcasm except that we are in the joke voting stage.
So, you quote betiko instead of me, and call me a skimmer?
Can we please just think about this for a second? If it is sooo obvious you meant it as a joke, how is it not sooo obvious that I used that as what I thought regarding the post? In other words, going off the words you posted I figured you were skimming.
Edoc, different minds think different things. I understand that it could have been sarcasm, but if you have played a game with me (and you have played plenty) you should know that I am rather quick to not let something get dropped too quickly. It doesnt help that I am just coming back so anything sets me off (refer to the other game I am in, Batman). I am just trying to readjust back to my normal playing, and with that I
Unvote Jonty.
3 days ago. Skimming, or forgetful I dont care. You could have gone back to see if I had responded.

I think Doom is just a distraction and that Elon is confused as all get out. Just some thoughts on the Sully lynch. Firstly, is it really likely that Sully would be given a good role given his recent history of deadbeating on games, not completing other mafia games and general disappearance? And, Betiko, if VTs are really the most important thing here - do we really need the grief? I am leaning more towards either a NL or considering someething solid. On that note, the most reasoned post to consider is Vodean's. As to Doom, he is soft-claiming unlynchable so I think that anyone with a night rolecop role or similar could help us there but why waste a lynch? Soundman's idea about ghostly was weak and now we have some input we should be grateful that it was effective, but I can't buy that one. So that leaves me with spiesr for now. I'd be interested in hearing more from others on their thoughts on Vodean's comments - but at this stage it's probably a NL and that may be better to pursue tomorrow?
Oh my bad, he didnt understand the sarcasm and his response is highlighted in red. Maybe we should give him shit for it and constantly bring it up, since obviously sarcasm is seen by all in the same light so since he didnt see it he must be hiding something. Do you see why I am getting annoyed with MY sarcasm getting put under a microscope and thehippo (who has been here longer than me, and is far more experienced in many aspects) gets skipped over? I know HIS wasnt accusing anyone, but he OBVIOUSLY did not get Betiko's sarcasm in this post (important sarcasm in blue):
betiko wrote:ghostly, about the dead that still could pm the living like "voices in their heads" is just a thought from the flavour and from the point brought up by swifte.
And yes I agree with doom, PRs aren't important in this game, VTs are. lynch sully!!!
fastposed
So lets see. Sarcasm seems to be a very strong thing in this game if it is mistaken as actually being SERIOUS. My bad for wanting to be serious, most of you would know that I HATE HATE HATE joke voting stage, and this is why. Every time I post during it, I am put in the spot light for some stupid reason.
Now I know what you are all thinking at this point. "he's over reacting, kill him!". No, I am not over reacting. I am tired of this whole sarcasm mess up being tossed around, chewed a little bit, and being tossed on to the next curious person who wants to make a case off of a misunderstanding. I remember another time like that in this game. Something about that doomyoshi guy and that other elonpuc guy having a misunderstanding that lasted somewhere around 7-9 pages. I am a defensive person when I think there is something dumb brought up. Sorry, thats me.
One more thing.

Vote Jonty Because obviously we are talking scifi. -
If anyone knows about lovecraft that is obvious (I did not mean in it sarcasm, but I am trying to make a point)I havent even read/seen anything about lovecraft before and it is quite apparent after 3-4 pages of talk about it.

Entire post can be taken as more of a joke than serious DEPENDING ON HOW YOU LOOK AT IT.
So what is the difference between his sarcasm and my seriousness? Above are a few things in MY response that could be taken as a JOKE VOTE, but werent. mmmk then. So the only difference was:
Apparently all but myself could tell his post was sarcasm, and though mine could have been interpreted as strong sarcasm with a lick of bitterness/seriousness, it wasnt. Just a perfect example of how we all have different perspectives, and though I did not mean it in a sarcastic way, it could have, with a little bit of analysis, been seen as possible sarcasm.
Anymore talk about it, I will be more than happy to try to explain it. But beware, after several paragraphs of doing so already, I may HAVE TO USE SARCASM to entertain myself.
