Hi everyone, I'm home and have just been frantically catching up with the thread in between falling asleep in my incorrect belief that the day was ending today. I clearly should have been proofreading the one-shot contest entries that I should actually be turning in today. Will probably just make this one drop-in post, go off to do that, and then maybe return depending on what time it is by then.
Re: Keldeo and Trebek: I didn't find Keldeo's initial vote there suspicious, or the explanation in #527 (although I did disagree with it; I think feeling self-conscious as town and like you need it to be clear that you're town is pretty natural, especially if you're kind of new to this). I did, however, find his followup posts (#538 and #541) really confusing and had no idea what he was getting at with either of them even squinting and rereading them. I don't know if it's just me being half-asleep or what. Like... "If you're Trebek... [several bullet points assuming that he's mafia] I kind of don't think you admit that?"? What? And then something about a wolf perspective-slipping or TMIing? What was any of that about?
...Actually, looking at that again, maybe that was just supposed to say "If you're mafia" and not "If you're Trebek"? That would make a lot more sense. Did everyone else figure this out already and just not mention it, or did I miss something? God. I was so confused.
Although I don't find the initial vote suspicious I'm not sure I'm suspicious of mewtini/rari for finding it surprising and questioning it, either; we don't really do the pressure voting thing much here and it doesn't strike me as weird that it'd seem weird to someone who doesn't play on MU. Maybe largely because mewtini is the person I'm getting the best vibes off overall one way or another; she just feels very similar to TV Tropes Mafia (...where she was technically third party, but I think we all know she was basically playing as if she were town the entire time). Keldeo wanting to change his playstyle in response to TVT mafia is kind of convenient, but eh, prooobably checks out, unless there's further evidence.
One quote I stuck in my multiquote:
Oh, also, flavor-wise, the kill being vanishing into thin air doesn't suggest Mr. Mistoffelees to me? In the movie, Macavity is disappearing cats into thin air throughout; I think it's pretty clearly just that.

I'm confused by this. Why would sticking up for Keldeo when he's accusing you be seen as openwolfing?
