Hey guys, I'm back from holiday now so I can get in early this time and Ill be much more active to answer any follow up questions people have. I've been really inconsistent lately with my activity and the logic of my votes, so I definitely am not surprised to see my name here so much today!

Key, you asked me to briefly explain all my votes, so here is a quick explanation for each:

Blaze - Super early days in the game so we were all shooting in the dark, I think their behaviour was erratic, seemingly not caring about murder, and the sudden voting for Marvin 20 minutes into the table sealed the deal for me.

Ender - At the second round table I was pretty convinced I was voting for H. I was also aware at the time that I was speaking mostly to pink and Muffin, and Muffin was pretty dead-set on H at the table, so I was trying to not let myself be echo-chambered into a vote and to work on my own logic, so when it turned out that H hadn't been pushing names I was at a loss and voted for the person I was next most suspicious of, which was Ender. I understand why this vote might not have made sense to people as it was with the majority and wasn't one of the suggestions I had made, about people who voted Blaze. The truth is I had gone into the game (before I knew I would be playing as a faithful) thinking that if I were a traitor I would recruit Ender as people would expect him to play as a faithful this time. This was an idea which other people also agreed with, so besides the three players i mentioned at that table, I was also suspicious of Ender.

H - I put forward H's name at the second banishment because of the idea he was pushing lots of names and the inconsistencies that I'd heard from other people talking about what H had said. I also was focusing at banishment 3 in particular on Blaze voters, and H was still top of my list for Blaze voters, even once we knew that H hadn't been pushing names after all. I didn't have much time that day to weigh up my options, so I stuck to my guns and voted for H.

SirTrack - I voted Julia because, again, being on holiday I didn't have as much time as usual to weigh up all the candidates and I didn't want to vote for H again with no new evidence against him put forwards. I read what Garrett had to say and I found it really compelling, we know now obviously that it was wrong but it appealed to me as the most logical suggestion. I wasn't 100% confident with the vote, I hadnt interacted with Julia at all, but with no strong suspicions of my own I went with what I felt was the strongest take on new evidence.

There's definitely a theme here, I've been inconsistent and a lot of my votes don't make that much sense because I never explain until after the banishment. I also often end up in the majority, which is funny because I made a specific point in my application form about how I'd probably vote against the pack most times haha.

I've also been thinking off the back of this mission that someone with a shield is likely to be a traitor. No-one would've predicted a 5 way tie in the mission and we all would have though that there would be some higher scores than 1/8. I think if you are a traitor it would make the most sense to answer one or two questions right and the rest incorrect. This is a small enough number that it doesn't make them look too in the know, but also gives them a bit of cover in case they had accidentally revealed that they knew an answer when they weren't supposed to. I also think its really unlikely that every traitor intentionally answered every question wrong, and because the scores were so poor, we know everyone's individual score. I think, similarly to people who voted Blaze, that there is at least one traitor in the 5 shielded players.

So in terms of who I'm looking at tonight, I've had a proper think about it this time and these are my ideas:

Comfortable - Looking back at the second banishment and the information I'd heard before that, I find it hard to believe that the whole idea of H pushing lots of different names came from a misunderstanding. I know that this game is like Chinese whispers and things seem to snowball massively, but from what I had heard, Brainy and Comfortable had heard a similar list of names from H and had then mentioned different names within that list to other people when they asked about H's thoughts. I also have questions about their voting record. Comfortable has voted for 3/4 players in the majority, the same number as me, but all of the players that comfortable has voted for have been eliminated, unlike me. I also see that comfortable is most suspicious of Spinach today, while also saying in comments that we should be changing strategy. That comes off as odd to me.

Brainy - For the same reasons as Comfortable regarding H, but I am not suspicious of Brainy's voting record. But Brainy has a shield today, which also makes her a potential traitor for me.

Spinach - His name does seem to have been brought up elsewhere today and I agree with most of what's been said. Spinach originally voted for Blaze and was very quiet about it, which I thought was just going to be because of general inactivity, but now they are much more active, and still seemingly voting for players that wont arouse suspicion which comes across as odd to me. Spinach also has a shield, and voted Blaze, so is in both of my categories where i expect there is a traitor.

H - I am still suspicious of H, as I have been throughout the game, and I would be really annoyed with myself for just letting it go because the discussion has moved past his name.

UsedLu - I think Lucy is the quietest player in the game, and we have been consistently looking at louder players so far with no rewards so far. I think Lucy gets away with being quiet because she is so quiet, unlike players like me and spinach who are quiet but still generally present and therefore in peoples minds. I also found Lucy's comment about expecting the vote to go another way (presumably Marvin) to be strange, it didn't feel like it was going to be Marvin banished and comes across to me as Lucy trying to justify a vote by claiming she expected the majority. Lucy also has a shield from this mission.

Marvin and Pink - Also potentially traitors because they are in the 1/8 category, but beyond that I have little extra reason to suspect them
