Huh. Nice, this is getting interesting. Alright then let's see what we got here.

In abraker's case, there were several things that he had said that made him seem suspicious. The main two points against him were:
1.) When under fire by Penguin, in order to dismiss everything said and play it off he simply replied with
abraker wrote:
Ok got the reaction I wanted
Penguin is a safe town read
2.) Which then led to him claiming he didnt realize Penguin voted for him because he was "drunk".

Main reason is because Penguin did not vote me after all that and remained on Husa. Give mafia a reason to vote someone and they will take it, and that will be their excuse when the lynched does turn town.

Oh wait he did. I'll reply again when I have the beer out of my system :\
Anyone would have found this suspicious. However, I was hesitant and never actually voted for him. Then the day ended with a No-Lynch.

This is a simple one. I agreed with Penguin when he said:
Penguin wrote:
we gotta be proactive and vote someone or else we're just gonna be sitting here twiddling our thumbs and doing nothing while mafia runs the game.
We needed something to happen in order to get any sort of info we could. A good way to get things going would be to vote someone and put them under pressure. But I never actually voted anyone that time either. Things happened without me having to vote anyone.

As for this time, while I did claim I would vote Husa I was also pretty hesitant on it as well. I announced that I would be voting Husa soon in order to force them to say something for their case since we haven't really heard anything in their defense. If I voted for Husa that would be it for them, we'd have 4/4 votes needed to lynch. If that's really what I wanted I could have just voted for them right then and there. But I was apprehensive because if we mess up and accidentally vote off a townie, we'd lose the game. 4vs2 -> Lynch Townie 3vs2 -> Night Phase 2vs2 -> fulfills mafia wn requirements.

It also doesn't help that he hasn't contributed much to the witchhunt, he just kinda goes with the flow.
It's common among newbie scum to look for an excuse to vote for someone else as soon as possible, and as far as I can tell, this is his first game (due to https://old.ppy.sh/forum/p/6962555 and also I can't find much on Google)
While it's true that I said I'd go with the flow, I've only actually done that to an extent. I don't want others to control my votes and I aim to sway the conversation if there's something that needs to be brought up. Such as letting Husa have a chance to defend themselves for example. I normally try to take a neutral side between people instead of being biased towards one person. If anyone says something suspicious, I will question them on it. The times I announced to everyone I'd be voting abraker and Husa soon was only to give them an incentive to defend themselves.
Also yes, I stated in the Set-up Mafia thread that this is my first time playing. I've played similar games in the past, but nothing like this.
If I was a mafia member, don't you think I would have voted someone at least once already in hopes of getting a townie lynched? The only vote I've ever made thus far was "No-Lynch".
