Spoilerdying in the night has made putting off catching up in favor of finals and papers a retroactively very good decision. seriously though if I reread and came back to this I woulda cried

SpoilerDay 1: A lot of players talked, but no real information was garnered. Though a few players acted a bit suspiciously, no in-game motivations for that behavior was confirmed.

Night 1: The mafia opted to recruit granolaman instead of making a kill. A superwatcher would have been immensely beneficial to them, and as he had daychat, they gained his N1 data.

Day 2: Granolaman (who was conceivably one of the more valuable members of the mafia - since they gave up a night kill for him) was lynched. His role (and many other roles) were revealed. This is the most critical point of information from which to decipher in game motivations.

Night 2: The mafia opted to kill Palamedes, in lieu of taking a gamble on Garuru/Yewchung. This turned out to be a good move for them, as for one, Garuru was protected by credit, and two, Anacreon had targeted Palamedes. This meant that their Palamedes kill also affected Anacreon. A Lucky Shot.

btp - Yes, myself. Here is why I would argue for my towness. I voted for granolaman (a valuable mafia player) and kept my vote on him. When I felt that he had incriminated himself sufficiently, I pushed for others to vote for him. At the end of the day, with 3 hours left, I posted votals in order to encourage those who had not yet voted for him to do so. If I was attempting to execute a scum member to make myself look better, I'm certain I could have chosen a less-valuable member.

Mirdini - He was the second key player in granola-lynch. He's been making consistently strong posts with town benefits in mind. He hasn't been seen lying, and he's been discouraging poor play from other town members. Also

Garuru - He claimed tracker and had his results backed up by town. There was no need for him to do this had he been scum. He was honest enough that we were able to gather his role quirk with Yewchung.

Yewchung - Partnered with Garuru, backed up Credit's claim, and seemed to have good reason for witholding the information at start.

Credit - Just, just should not have claimed doc, but he targeted the right people and his visit was backed up by Yewchung. I would not be surprised if we found him dead in the morning.

Coldblooded - It does not make since to me for him to have been masons with Granola if he was also a member of a scum faction. If this was the case, then he could have gained information from Granola about roles, given them to the mafia, and the mafia would not have had to sacrifice their night 1 kill. There are still complications here. Why was he in particular masoned to Granola? CB, would you care to posit a hypothesis?

Spoiler
0_o - He claimed "town bleeder", and his night actions corresponded with those of Garuru's report. Given that some roles in this game are less powered than others, I would suspect that such a role has a place in this game. Not to mention that, after claiming, he frequently offered himself as a "sacrifice" to kill another player. There was no consensus, but Granolaman did suggest he kill Garuru/Yewchung. Granola was part of the mafia at this point. It would have been more astute of him to suggest a different murder combo, had 0_o been a member of the scum

TehPilot - I do not have anything in particular about him here. I am merely placing him in this list because, I do not really suspect him, primarily due to the opinions of other players, Pala and Mirdini to be specific.
