I guess we were all eagerly waiting for the analysis of various player's behaviour you promised to deliver.
I suppose we can start with the obvious candidate: 00iCon. If iCon was town Rodion was trying to cover his own arse or throw suspicion on him. Claiming Marcus Wright hinted at Miller without knowing it himself. Claim to have busdrivered one townie and the nightkill victim, if the townie gets lynched that claim would've seemed to be substantiated, if he gets lynched he's thrown suspicion on the townie. Especially after they put the last two votes on Blake.
With the way Rodion played and managed to argue in favour of himself I'd say he's easily capable of coming up with and pulling off something like that, even in one of his first games. Of course, it might have been a double bluff to make us think he was making a townie look suspicious in order to get us to ignore a scumbuddy. This is based on quite a bit of hypothesising, though:
It is noteworthy that Rodion unvoted Blake, then Naxus counterclaimed and quickly pulled two more votes against him (edocsil who clearly was town, and jeraado who voted without any comment), then Rodion didn't revote after Blake was at L-2 but chose to wait and hammer himself after iCon had put Blake at L-1. This could mean that Rodion was trying to draw as much attention to himself as he could in order to protect a scumbuddy. Naxus had blown his own cover no matter what, but there's a possibility that there was a third scum on the wagon against Blake. If the initial distribution was 9-3 we might have the entire surviving scum faction narrowed down to 4 possible players, and one of them (Naxus) is exposed already.
I realise that I'm one of the other three suspects, and as such biased but I think it may be worth it to look into iCon a bit further, and into jeraado as well. Me looking into myself is obviously futile since I'll come up with townie no matter what.
If I hadn't gone dark I feel like I could've prevented blake's lynch. I blame myself for that one. I must say, congrats to Rodion for convincing you guys to lynch the cop. What total bull.
