If you all vote for me you'll regret it. Not that I'll do anything since I'll be dead and all, but the real Mafia will just kill someone else.

It's not a threat, I'm just warning you that if you convict me someone else will get killed cause you picked the wrong person. Gee, you really don't want to be the first person to point a finger these days...

You know, Josiah's got a point. No sane Mafia member would want to make it obvious in that sort of way; in fact, the mafia probably noticed that only Gar and Neo voted Josiah and one was voted off, thus making him a perfect scapegoat. Plus, why would Josiah want to draw attention to himself, it's the easiest way to get voted off. And lastly in his defense, he didn't vote first to prove his innocence, he did it because someone had to.
Why was simsmagic so quick to post second? Less attention drawn to himself, and perfect timing to frame him.
Then there was Opal, bringing minimal attention to herself first post, instigating a crowd to vote Josiah, and overreacting when she saw it perfect to draw further attention to Josiah.
Then there's Kaida who's just too darn innocent, it could always be her. :-P
Then there's me, who took my precious time posting, then gave a large speech about drawing attention away from themselves and how a mafia member would. Of course, the speech mentioned a few scapegoats and a scapecow, and tried to convince you all it wasn't me by not mentioning me thus far. Now it could be me because it looks like I'm trying to cover up for myself.
Then again, you can look at it from this perspective: Josiah made a short first post, as if not wanting to put too much fearing that his words may betray him; and then the rest of his posts were defensive, although this is understandable seeing as his credibility and innocence were being challenged.
With that said and done, I will not vote as I'd like to see what we can come up with from that.

Hmm. If Josiah DIDN'T do it, then I have another hunch. One that does make sense. Mostly...

I think I know your hunch. But, why spoil your fun by blurting it out now?

Ahem. You're right. Josiah did point out that no sane mafia member would do that. And if Josiah was the mafia, isn't that exactly what he'd want you to think? It's the perfect cover!

I'm never gonna get rid of the whole innocent thing am i <.< . Oh well works for me ^_^ Mwehehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehhehheee

Ahem... Yes, anyway.

After reading through and doing all that stuff, I change my vote from Josiah to Sims. There's multiple reasons for this.
When Josiah first posted he suggested that the mafia was Opal, he didn't say that she was. Also someone has to post first otherwise we'ed never get anywhere.
Since his first post he has been defending himself, Opal overreacted to one of his statements, who was also defending herself.
Meanwhile there's sims all along saying that its Josiah, untill Poik makes a very long post. Now sims has a hunch that it could be someone else although refuses to tell us whome.

Now I will hope that made sence as I'm tired and theres probably lots of spelling mistakes knowing my luck, and this keyboard doesn't like me.

Whereas Stevenson's got a point... and Kaida's got a point... and simsmagic's got a hunch... ok I don't know where I'm going with this.

Well, there's not much more to discuss until people post again. Sims is acting pretty suspicious, and Josiah did do something entirely un-Mafia-ish which is an excellent way to hide mafia-ish-ness.
Then again Kaida is still too innocent, and I still talk too much.

It all comes down to PoikSpirit's vote, which has yet to be officially cast...

Unless someone else changes their vote. That could throw it off too.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.
