It was more like "Clark's got no balls" and no, it wasn't for that.
I felt I stood a little chance of winning with you not around because you for one, were strong on your stance of not believing that I'm a townie and therefore, I opt for you. Furthermore, all that fact about me investigating Caesar and him coming up as mafia meant that I had to save him.
Cleo died very early in the game and I got myself into trouble very early own too by trying to unnecessarily save him. Later on, I did something similar by being protective towards Florine. I had no idea what to claim and in the situation I claimed, I just wanted to survive a day (never thought we stood a chance of winning tbh). Claimed Cop and executed that "paranoid" thing just to confuse the townies which I guess to some extend even worked. I for one didn't expect the game to end this way; meaning that I thought town will win easily but somehow during the end, it got quite exciting.
Brilliant game, Caesar. Shirley and Garret, equally deserved win. Believed Caesar and supported him well, good game.
