In post 2798, MalcolmTucker wrote:Re how I've played on STD - I called out their push on Rathe being fairly weak and inconsistent in

866 I further detailed why I believed this push wasn't particularly genuine and felt like it could be coming from mafia. At this point in the game, if I remember correctly, STD had been kinda quiet and wasn't under too much suspicion. I don't think there's much benefit in mafia continually going after a partner here.
In
871 I pointed out that STD was deflecting away from my line of enquiry instead of just engaging with it naturally, and I stated this again in
875 and
878. Again I think mafia here if they're trying to manufacture an argument just sort of lets this go instead of continually pushing it. Likewise in
879 I pointed out to STD whether they should perhaps evaluate their suspicion for Rathe given nobody else was interested, again I got the sense this wasn't a genuine SR but instead just mafia going through the motions.
In
1257 I voted for STD instead of NM at a point when either of them could have gone out, and when I was going to be offline for the rest of D1. I believe the votes were about split at that point. Again, not what mafia does in this situation.
In
1448 I pointed out that Pooky had suspected STD a bit before elimination and there was a potential link there. In
1752 I pointed out STD's reads were quite dull and could easily come from hesitant mafia.
Again in
1848 I pointed out STD was neglecting to push Rathe despite suspecting them, while STD voted for me instead. In
1852 I then laid out why I thought STD and Andante (now Jackson) might be teammates.
I get this could feasibly be two mafia distancing themselves from each other for late-game, we've not quite been at each other's throats in every second post, but does all of the above read like two teammates? Why was I continually pushing a relatively inactive teammate (hypothetically if you think I'm mafia?) when they were under minimal pressure. Why did I vote for them when the vote was evenly split and they could end up going out? Why did I go back into suspecting them again on D2?
