Beefing it up with CapsFan:
To be clear, my argument here has to do with the semantics of CapsFan's framing of his Calvin suspicion. I think his opening sentence is worded in a way that suggests the read is not authentic. I expect that this is going to seem completely unreasonable to folks who've never played with me before, but this is a thing that I do.
He also tacks on an additional piece of a case against Calvin, and I don't think it makes sense. It's a Mr. Fantastic-esque stretch to suggest that Calvin was trying to deflect suspicion onto me yesterday, and also a bizarre leap to suggest that I "caught Calving in a lie", and that this move was then somehow anticipated by the mafia, who preemptively silenced me(?). Calvin was a town read of mine for most of the day, and during Night 1 had dropped down only to a middle-tier read on my rainbow. He'd been receptive to my hunting on Day 1. I don't think any of this suggests an urgency on Calvin's part to have me silenced.
Another minor ping I get here is "Why the kill didn't go through, I don't know." That remark seems shoehorned in. It's not entirely relevant to the discussion of my silencing, but it's tucked into the middle of it arbitrarily. My guess is Caps does have an idea as to why the kill failed because he picked the target.
Part of me feels like CapsFan wanted to be seen responding to my post. But that's an aside to my main point.
This could very easily be an opportunistic suspicion. Speedchuck said something goofy, and that one goofy thing is used as the sole justification for a case against him. The point about mistakenly defending Aussie almost has legs, until you realize that an entire night phase would have passed in which scumchuck would have had to not notice that is team was down a member. Again, this is an aside to USDA approved beef I have with this post:
We'll start with that opening refrain to the Calvin suspicion. Is that not an awkward way to frame a suspicion? "Calvin is on this list because..." It is almost like Caps is suggesting that a fabrication is necessary in order to put Calvin in the position of Primary Suspect. "I have selected Calvin as a suspect, and now I will need to produce a reason for that." The cart is in front of the horse. "... because of the shady interactions..." may also reveal a seam in the fabricated case here. He does not say "I suspect Calvin because of his interactions with AussieEevee." The interactions have been pre-qualified as shady by others, and those interactions were sufficient to put Calvin on a list.
To be clear, my argument here has to do with the semantics of CapsFan's framing of his Calvin suspicion. I think his opening sentence is worded in a way that suggests the read is not authentic. I expect that this is going to seem completely unreasonable to folks who've never played with me before, but this is a thing that I do.
The Calvin vote is Part 2 of my major beef here, and this requires, in part, a nod to the context of this post. CapsFan made a couple of quick posts upon entering the thread Day 2, then was silent for a bit. Jay asked him directly for reads, and he responded with this post, capped off with a vote for Calvin. That he stated this case so confidently and then put a vote only after being prodded may suggest that he was feeling obligated to put a vote down at this point. He was silent until it was required of him to say something, and now that he'd taken off he wanted to seal his denouncement of Calvin with a vote.
He also tacks on an additional piece of a case against Calvin, and I don't think it makes sense. It's a Mr. Fantastic-esque stretch to suggest that Calvin was trying to deflect suspicion onto me yesterday, and also a bizarre leap to suggest that I "caught Calving in a lie", and that this move was then somehow anticipated by the mafia, who preemptively silenced me(?).
