---------------
People have been suspecting him too, haven't they? I have no idea what I think. Let's Analyze, and see what's what:
-As Hobo points out, ranagrande is reluctant to discuss MPD numbers.
-Is the first to point out Blaine hasn't posted yet. Doesn't suggest a lynch, but suggests waiting for modkill.
-Is the very first to support F-T's roleclaim- does not try to lynch him.
-3 days later, reaffirms his "don't lynch F-T" stance to Kronin, yet leaves some wiggle room. States he is suspicious of Kronin.
-A few days later, after it's pretty obvious F-T will be lynched, votes to lynch F-T with the rationale that, though he doesn't believe F-T is a DF, it will at least give us info
Day 2:
-hypocops Issac as guilty
-says he will post later with his thoughts, but is currently too sick to really do anything
-weighs in on the vigilante conversation: Doesn't think we have one, or if we do, isn't making the decisions he would have made.
-posts that he thinks we have a SK
-doesn't think the RB had anything to do with last night's results
-weighed in on my question about messages
And... that's that. I took these notes as I went through the last two threads, and, upon rereading them, I have to say that ranagrande doesn't seem too suspicious to me. He was a bit iffy on Day 1, but then, so is everyone.
Additionally, he's been much more active on Day 2, going out of his way to take stands (SK instead of Vig, no RB) and just in general mixing it up in the threads.
So... yeah. Sorry for making you read through a whole post that pretty much consists of "Yeah, he's probably ok?" but I'll be damned if I read through all posts regarding ranagrande for nothing.
Anyone have another take on him?
