This is based off what I know of him in the one game I played and with his personality in general. I think the thread got canned, but I think in the previous game, he said something along the lines of "I've known Ral for a long time and yada yada" when Ral was trying to swing his vote over. Completely irrelevant to the game, and was town.
I feel the need to provide this context, because Yoshi is otherwise a player who others can use to "generate content" (waste time completely) by trying to draw conclusions when he's operating with a different mentality from the rest of us seasoned players. Feel free to take my word for it, or feel free to waste your time trying to understand.
