Apologies, I have not exactly had the time to get around to making a post.
The Holiday season, as you do not doubt know, is a fairly tiresome and awkward time of the year where many people are forced into situation such as Winter Examinations, Family outings, and social gatherings. I've certainly have been busy on several occasions due to a series of Parades and a Concert due in course by participation in a school band for the past two weeks, and that is my main leave of absence. I also have Exams in the next week, so I don't want to entirely spend a majority of my time here.
But, as you see, those were my main reasons for not posting. Again, apologies, and hopefully, as it seems some of you wanted me to post, this one will satisfy you.

Anyways, I cannot really say anything that has not already been said.
For the most part, I originally wanted to post my thoughts quite a few days ago, however, as I stated above, I did not have the chance to.
Because of this lack of time, my original thoughts and supposed actions beforehand were able to be laid to rest thanks to Dessern, who posted in due haste before I had the chance to.
This was in part of the suspicions toward him mainly in due with how he did not suspect Sploor, which I felt were a bit obvious, and wished to try and make that idea known, but again, did not have the chance.
It was just another misconception (I hope), that has already been resolved it seems, and I do not need to give further input on it further, so you did not have to wait for me.
I am just hoping continued misconceptions, no matter who is behind the firing line of it, not just Dessern in this case, will be forced upon them, because a lot of the time, they, as said in the past, lead to terrible mis-lynches with faulty evidence backing them, which I have grown to dislike over the course of these games.
On terms of the lynching process, I believe I already made my voice heard on the matter.
I, for the most part, am very much leaning toward a No-Lynch.
I've stated my reasoning in an earlier post, with my thoughts on possible scenario's on how I thought the days most likely will pan out if we do, in fact, no lynch.
In my opinion, despite the percentages, there is still, a very high chance, that a townsperson will very much be lynched, and not the Mafia.
Now, I don't mean to say we should not take any chances or risk, but it is a very difficult scenario were are currently involved in.
If my calculations are correct, then if we mis-lynch today, which is very likely, the town only gets the following day in order to hopefully kill off at least one member of the Mafia, whether that be Janitor, Disguiser, or otherwise.
I don't feel that sort of risk is worth it.
I would rather be safe then risk the end of the game this early on. It's my nature, so I would rather be cautious in these matters.
I do not know if that is true however. Normally lynches are actually for the best, as we have seen in past games that have seemed to shed light time and time again in these cases, leading to the deaths of some Mafia members, so I do not doubt the idea for lynching someone off.
But I will only accept a lynch in this case if we actually know who we should choose.
WHO would be a reasonable choice to be suspected of the Mafia.
Honestly, I do not see much suspicion on anyone at this point, so I cannot say anything on the matter.
So, until some possible evidence or fairly good suspicions can be raised, I remain with my idea of a No Lynch as the best option.
