I was holding this back for a bit, but if Mr. O'Naut wants to start the party early, far be it from me to be an ungracious guest.
Coppanuva has been doing his best to fly under the radar and appear to us all to be a good little Tourist, but I submit that through a certain gaze his actions appear most suspicious.
Right off the bat an attempt to limit the scope of our investigations. Is there something there that Coppa doesn't want us to find? Is he
afraid there's something there that we could find? Curious.
Here we have some speculation about the Time Cube. Make note of it.
A suggestion that we should be looking for voting patterns to root out Cultists. Not a bad idea, unless it's coming from a Cultist trying to send us down the wrong path. This will be important later.
Here, after some prodding, Coppa gives his reads from a list that, as LoC put it, was fed to him. I won't belabor the circumstances around the list, but I'll examine the list itself (I've remove three names, which were uncontroversial Tourist reads). More about Darryl and his item, and a casual suggestion that whoever gets it next should
definitely claim right away to save poor little Darryl's life.
He also raises questions about Blargonaut and LoC. Now, this isn't exactly damning evidence, because all of us raised questions about Blargonaut and LoC. But if they are truly both Town, as I now suspect, it would be in the Cult's best interest to keep us questioning each other. This post is the second notable indictment of Blarg that we saw in the thread, coming hot off the heels of Timeaisis' earlier post.
Boy, he sure seems really interested in that item, don't you think? And so excited about somebody claiming it on Day Two, to boot!
More tying of Blarg and LoC's fates, which is followed up in the next post where he explicitly questions their allegiance:
Now here's where I come in.
This was around Coppa's most active period in the thread, and he was good about getting back to anyone speaking directly do him, but I never received a reply to my offer about Prodigy. In fact, Coppa
never comments on Prodigy, to anybody. It's almost as if he's
being careful not to. As Sorian pointed out, Prodigy wasn't so careful in the reverse, because in the short time we knew him, Prodigy was anything but careful.
Coppa then had the interaction with Blargonaut posted above, and afterward he's a ghost. He had no more votes on himself. Mission accomplished. But wait!
At the beginning of the day I said that Prodigy's unmasking made the Tucah vote more interesting. But looking at the list of votes on Tucah, it's almost entirely names that I read as solid Tourists.
Almost entirely.
He says he's voting on Tucah to keep Blarg alive, but somebody else (I'll give you one guess) was in the top three with over two hours left until the deadline. Plenty of time for momentum to shift in a last minute campaign.
And then there's the curious part about his name being the only one that sticks out at me. My initial instinct was that at least two Cultists were involved in the Tucah vote, if not more. But Coppanuva has shown himself to be aware of how incriminating it is to vote alongside fellow Mafia. At the same time, the popular vote at the end of the day is a brilliant place for a single Cultist to hide in plain sight; just one o' the guys. If you can turn the tide away from a compatriot while doing so, all the better!
And that brings us to Day Two.
Golly, Blarg sure is still suspicious. By the way, anyone gonna claim that Time Cube?
So, what I'm trying to say is:
VOTE: Coppanuva
