WW23: The Heart of Gold

I am also pleasantly surprised but not completely thunderstruck that Uberfish turned out to be a false trail.

It still feels like it has to be Gaspar, then. Lewwyn and Mattimeo both look pretty good based on their day 2 voting, and Pocketbeetle's play just seems needlessly fancy if he's the last scum. Though I have to say, his reaction post tonight actually looks a little fake.

Gaspar's day 2, on the other hand, is very consistent with him being scum. He tried to get Uberfish lynched, which must have seemed like a promising avenue, and only switched to Bigger when it became clear that either Bigger or Gaspar would hang. See also my detailed timeline in post #196. Tonewise, I think he is also the scummiest player, and his posts generally have little substance.

I also think Uberfish made some good points against Gaspar, even if I didn't let them sway me yesterday:

Whereas if gaspar is scum then he:

1) avoided being with his partner on the mislynch wagon
2) killed Serdoa to preserve the voting bloc on me for the next day
3) protected himself by killing one of the players who had voiced a Gaspar+Bigger scum theory

Which of these scenarios makes more sense from a scum tactical POV? Why does gaspar ignore all these arguments and focus late in d2 ONLY on the theory that he'd 100% kill zak night 1 and post laughably fake postmortems? Why would he not want to get more material to attack his supposed top suspect, me, with? Because he can't refute them. He already made a failed attempt to explain away the n1 kill as attributable to me on the basis of "style" and doesn't want to make himself look worse with more bad logic.
