[Mafia] War in the Scarlet Library- Endgame [Scarlet won!]

Alright, I've looked through the ISOs and tried to imagine them from a Shrine Maiden's perspective, and I've decided to

Every time I look at this, it sounds like something that a Shrine Maiden would NOT say. And that seems to be more prominent than its actual meaning at face value. Suspected ZM as being the Shrine Maiden...? Based on what, me pointing out that his avatar and sig are of shrine maiden Sanae? Because that's a pretty silly reason to suspect someone of being a Shrine Maiden. And you never expressed anything of this sort in your two posts in D1.

No, what makes far more sense to me is that you designed your response to be something that players would not expect a Shrine Maiden to say. It's a classic Mafia strategy: say stuff that you'd expect Townies to say so that players feel inclined to think of you as Town without making it seem like you're putting in effort to defend yourself and sound Townish. Saying that you suspected someone else of being a Shrine Maiden carries the implicit assumption that you're not the Shrine Maiden yourself.

Javex being the Shrine Maiden would explain his activity in D1 as well. His top priority as a Shrine Maiden was self-preservation; he doesn't have any allies that he'll want to subtly unite with, but as the numbers thin down his chances of shooting the Sisters get higher. He started with a neutral post asking what's going on, trying to avoid taking sides and drawing attention. But after he got pinged and ZM was at L-1, he realized that ZM would be a really easy lynch because I was the one who was being really aggressive about it, so he figured that the rest of the players would be blaming me for ZM's death and not him. So he hammered ZM. And on D2, he would justify his vote as being him genuinely suspecting ZM as being a Shrine Maiden and not suspecting the hammer to put them in a disadvantage: an innocent and naive response that subtly implies that he's not the Shrine Maiden.

And then after Kasha starts voting for me, Javex finds this to be a good opportunity to raise his suspicions on me and then vote for me, because again, the players would probably blame Kasha for my death and not him. And the fact that I pushed ZM's lynch on D1 and was pushing people to vote on D2 made me seem like an even safer target, as somebody trying to "spin a web and making us move at his pace"

tl;dr - Javex's actions so far appear to be opportunistic votes that appear to be really safe (i.e. he's not the one drawing in most of the attention in the respective bandwagons), and a post that carries the subtle implication that he's a Shrine Maiden but is otherwise a really silly defense. Sounds like a Shrine Maiden to me.

Oh, and this is actually a legit serious vote and not a pressure vote: I genuinely think Javex is the Shrine Maiden and I want him lynched.
