That is a really good post Zulu and deserves a reply.
When Annie declared her "result" on Devante the other thing that was going on was Sonic indicating the dangers of a mislynch - at first I was questioning how dangerous it was. My initial joy/relief at the result changed overnight to fear when I was working it through in my mind. Having worked it through in my mind, I was in a mathematical and wary mindset. Working through the maths I realised that qunatitavely speaking to me the odds on an archivist having been recruited were high enough for me to not want to lynch Devante without a lot further consideration. Then when others just wanted to lynch Devante off the cuff and without listening to Devante the fear of a hasty and incorrect lynch intensified. I was tempted to argue for Devante (in his absence) but this would have been no substitute for anything Circle leaning that Devante might have inadvertently said. When the actual votes on Devante started on the Saturday - I was like FFS don't be so hasty. When Annie started trying to force the lynch and with the momentum for it already I asked Annie the questions that I thought should be asked of her at least - and I didn't like the answers I received CAPS ON ASKING YOU TO VOTE now, and the misquoting of Devante by Annie - taking an actual Devante quote and adding Bunny into it. My mathematical argument would have been invalidated by Devante's actual response (but there would still have been a debate to be had) , except your actual Lynch vote went through first.
The going after Charle Day 1 - I think I argued and pressed through yes. I believed it was a valid line to go down and others did follow because there was nothing better to go on and lynch. The House players who voted Charle at the end of the day thought, or were persuaded round it was valid too. As I wasn't Patron it can't have been and wasn't me pressing for a definite mislynch. I need to check but I think Dev wasn't in the lynch of Charle.
The formats of Hjelps posts - OK - maybe that's a bit unfair , you could also interpret it as me being open about some of the underlying reasons that might make me biased against Hjelp. There's other things as well - quite a few of them in the list I gave. Other players can if they want put further questions or pressure on Hjelp or if they want say Loose is either wrong or worse trying to engineer a mislynch.
I didn't actually make an Usher hint - I made an Usher claim. Claims can be true or false, and in this particular game any recruit (and we are left with 2 recruits to find) was dealt an original card (Usher in my case) and then gets recruited. So Usher was a true role (unless I made an alternative true role up for myself) the question is whether I am one of the 2 who has been recruited or not. Same applies for every other player. (The potentialy complicating thing is each member of the circle could use another circle players pre recruitment card if/when making their own claim.)
Really good post deserved an extensive reply - for you to consider.
I know I am safe, my track record adds to that, I have been consistent with my posting and rhetoric throughout- House
