Bah, I don't expect to live much longer in this game, and I think mrxak is the one we're after. Have at thee!

And now that the first round is over, I show up.
From reading the first round, it appears as if mrxak is trying to influence the vote, then change his to hide responsibility.
Look guys, SoItBegins is just angry at me because I joked about sticking a knife in his back in the last hour of the round. He may have been the IA, but I can guarantee he doesn't know that I'm evil. For one thing, I'm not evil, so if he had investigated me, he would have been illegally trying to influence the game in my favor instead of illegally trying to influence the game against me as he is now. The other reason he doesn't know that I'm evil is because he died in the first round. He's not had a chance to investigate anybody.
Kill me if you want, like I said at the beginning of the game, I wasn't planning on living very long anyway, and I've already had plenty of fun. Just be aware that you're voting against me simply because I was clever enough to avoid dying last round, and SoItBegins wasn't. SoItBegins has nobody to blame for his death but himself.
SoItBegins acted, as he readily admitted, much more aggressively than usual. That attracted Rebelious's vote.
Next he attracted JacaByte's vote, which I might point out, because JacaByte didn't think I was a terrorist. I guess you've changed your mind again, eh JacaByte? The difference between us, who both changed our minds, is that last round I changed my mind to somebody who may have been guilty (we won't know until he dies or the game ends), and you changed your mind from somebody you think is guilty (although I am innocent), to somebody we all now know was the IA. Hindsight is 20-20, sure, but do you really trust your judgement about me now after making a blunder like you did last round? I didn't really think SIB was guilty last round, I just wanted to make sure everybody knew that he could be. I changed as soon as I could save myself, and then as soon as it was safe to do so I changed to somebody who was lurking. You started by voting for jrsh92 for abstaining, which is fairly legitimate although you did it in the opening hours of the game when abstaining doesn't matter. But then you changed your vote to SoItBegins. We all know now that jrsh92 and SoItBegins has died just how off you are this game. Do you really want to compound that by voting for me now?
Finally, SoItBegins got a vote by jrsh92. jrsh92 was defending himself of course from SoItBegins. This was an unnecessary situation for SIB to put himself in. He'd have been far better off selecting a new target that more people would have agreed with. There were plenty of people who hadn't voted yet, and I myself definitely might have changed my vote for the right argument. I didn't believe SoItBegins was guilty, a fact I made clear all along. SoItBegins has said he's been trying to learn how to be a better player. I think he's got plenty to learn from this game.
So, SoItBegins dug his own grave on that one. We can either play the blame game and try to point the finger at each other, blindly obey a person who has no inside knowledge and shouldn't be trying to influence the game after their death, or we can actually go after people like Templar98921 or kickme who are much more likely to be evil. kickme is a notorious lurker, especially when evil. Templar98921 simply voted for himself last round, then retracted it, giving the appearance of activity while basically just trying to not offend anybody. Let's not be fooled by such obvious ploys.
