The Traitors- Boards/FOG Edition

[Laura the Lace Mistress]

Looking back at the Ben voters last night and reasons for voting::

laura: voted at 2035, "Sorry Benji, I think you're a really nice guy. I've enjoyed getting to know you. However, I’m sticking with my gut from earlier... your comment to William about not getting the 5th word in the task and backroom chats felt like you were stirring a bit. The whole 'are you a newbie, are you not' thing too, just sort of added to that."
dora: voted at 2047, didn't provide reasoning at the time of voting
tuck: Voted at 2049, "Benji based solely on pretending to be a noob for a pass, sorry Benji very little to go on so far"
boris: declared at 2050 as the 4th voter when there was just one voter on 3 other players; "The newbie/not a newbie issue was the last straw. The weird question to me on page 1 was the first straw"
magda - confirmed faithful
betty: voted Ben as a "self-pres" vote at 2129; based on on-thread counts at this point, Zeena had 5 votes, Ben had 4 and Betty had 3

Also interesting that Zeena voted off-wagon (along with 5 others as below) at 2113 rather than self-pres - because she knew that there was a double vote incoming? Or because she doesn't think Ben or Betty are traitors? In fairness to her, the on-thread count at the time she voted was 5 to her (assuming she saw Rhonda's vote 2 mins before hers) and 4 to Ben so it was very much on a knife edge at that point considering that there were a good few votes still to come.

amy - maeve, count
william - weyland
vincent - donald
mauve - pat
dora - zeena

If Betty is indeed a traitor, her vote here is not a good look for Zeena; obviously that's countered by the fact that Zeena's vote is a pretty good look for her

Thanks for that breakdown. On that, I might be leaning into the Betty theory. If it was self preservation, why not vote for the person with the most votes (Zeena), instead of the person with just one vote more than her (Ben). There must have been some other reason she choose Ben rather than Zeena (has she provided that already).
