I've just gotten so busy lately, and I know that the case will take awhile to type up, that I just keep putting it off. Anyway, here's an abridged version. Some of my early points still apply, but they've been discussed endlessly, so I'm not going to include them here. You can ISO me or ask me if you can't remember them.
1.) Remember early on where I said Mac wasn't the wolf because of how he pushed on Fuzzy? Well, after going through his ISO, he actually didn't push Fuzzy as hard as I thought he did. He voted Fuzzy twice. The first time was RVS, which was where he kept his vote for awhile. When he talked about a Fuzzy/me partnership, that was not focused so much on Fuzzy as it was me. Even though he was voting for Fuzzy, it was my lynch that he was trying to push instead, even going as far as to unvote my supposed partner just to OMGUS me. His second vote on Fuzzy was after Fuzzy made a
transparent scum move, essentially making it a bus to avoid suspicion later on. At the end of the day, Mac's vote was not on Fuzzy, but Klick, an opportunity that was opened up for him by Bacde, and a great way to avoid bussing his partner.
2.) Fuzzy hardly interacts with Mac at all, and for the most part, ignores him. The longest conversation the 2 of them have starts
here. Fuzzy answers Mac's first question, but completely ignores the followup. As for
Fuzzy's list of reads, he completely forgets Mac. All of this is significant, because in
1337 Fuzzy implicated Mac, his partner, via some last minute WIFOM. I can see Mac telling Fuzzy not to do so again, and Fuzzy ignoring him in order to not repeat that mistake.
3.) Remember when Mac was attacking me as scum d2, mainly because of my scum read on him and reasoning? He was hardcore on me for being scum and then said this:
In post 1033, Mac wrote:That's cool, your plays been pretty off this game anyway.
Here's the thing. If Mac thought I was scum, then he should have been thinking that this was just part of my strategy as scum, in much the same way Syryana did, especially since he was pushing me on my play. He really didn't have much meta-wise as far as scum games, since
1333 was my only completed scum game at the time (
Donner Party wouldn't finish until 3 days later.). His only frame of reference, then, were my town games, especially the one he played with me. Therefore, if he thought I was scum, why did he make a comment saying my play was off, which would suggest I was town rather than scum?
4.) This one's a minor point, but I thought it was worth mentioning since I noticed it when going through the ISO. Starting about d3, Mac starts saying "Wolf" a lot. I know what you're thinking, "Of course he'd say wolf a lot, we were looking for the last wolf.". But Mac does so almost to the point of overcompensation. Seriously, search Wolf in Mac's ISO and watch the end of the game light up like a Christmas tree. I've gotten the feeling that some other posts during the last 2 day phases are him overcompensating as well.
5.) Mac's DBK point confused me. He waits 2 days until after Bo's death, and then randomly brings it up as a point against me, saying that Bo was obviously me trying to set him up, even though I said d3 that I didn't think Mac was mafia because of
Klick's
flip. I honestly have no idea why Mac was even trying to implicate me using Bo, and it seemed like a stretch to do so, as no one should have logically came to that conclusion about the purpose of Bo's death. Seriously. My theory: "Bo was an unknown and could have been scum or potentially strong town. The kill was a win-win.". Mac's theory: "Bo was killed because Bulb was trying to frame me! Even though Bulb said that I was town because of Klick, and Bo's death was never considered. But Bo was killed because I was being framed guys!"
6.) Mac seemed overeager to agree with people toward the end of the game. He even agreed with me on the Egg case, even when other people called me out on it for the case being crap. Nothing makes me more nervous near end game than seeing "
This is a reasonable enough point I think.".
Personally, I'm getting tired of this game and am ready to end it. Every fiber of my being is telling me that Mac is the last wolf, so I'm going to trust my instincts on this one.
Vote Mac
If I'm wrong, and the wolf is Syryana, then congratulations Syr, you deserve it, because I still can't see you not killing me n3 after Donner Party.
P-edit: Just noticed your new avatar Syr. I like it a lot.
