If I'm wrong and we can double lynch today, I favor using it.

I thought about the kane]deth[ thing. What I found could actually be interesting.
A meaning of kane
It is apparently a musical instrument that is vaguely bucket shaped, though not very deep. So I looked at a few more pictures just doing a google image search and it appears they can be made deeper than the one shown on the wikipedia page. Additionally, a kane is played with mallets. While admittedly not exactly sledge hammers, I think it is close enough for consideration.

I also like the flamewheel/olympian reference still.

Well, so coming back I find that I'm the prime suspect now (it's actually quite exciting!) though somewhat saddening as well.

Yes, the Olympic runner thing is quite strong--I agree. That picture I've chosen was specifically from the Beijing 2008 Olympics after Googling "Beijing Man"--one of my nicknames at school. I really don't have that much to say in my defense, other than point out that the Olympic reference, albeit strong, being the only thing convicting me. The people who have more free time on their hands, I would urge you to check more clues, seeing as if there is one 'solid' connection to any other person(s), that would somewhat invalidate the fact that I have one solid connection as well to being tied in with the mafia members.

Things I would like people to look into further (or stuff I will look at if I have the time / life: P)

"Walking home from the post-election celebration, a slightly tipsy blue_arrow was whistling tunelessly to himself in the violet dusk. After a block or two, he noticed the sound of someone shuffling behind him. Though unnerved, he tried to shrug it off and started walking faster. The shuffling did not speed up in response, and blue_arrow felt safer the further he walked from his follower. As the streetlamps flickered on one by one, he took a quick peek behind him. One glimpse of his follower's frightening appearance was enough to clear his mind and convince him the Mafia was after him. Blue_arrow took off running. Sweat dripped off his forehead and fear spurred him to achieve near-Olympian speed as he sprinted for his life. He flew past several blocks in a few minutes, but always he could hear his attacker plodding relentlessly after him. Finally, the exhausted blue_arrow slumped against a lamppost, so worn out by his headlong dash that he couldn't move another step. All he could do was watch with mounting dread as his entirely unperturbed attacker caught up to blue_arrow and strangled him to death."

Streetlamps are mentioned twice--first while Blue_arrow is running and second when he tires out and slumps.

Smaller and less noticeable but maybe containing clues: the "violet" dusk, the alcohol (tipsiness), and the tuneless whistling.

Furthermore, I'm aware of bandwagoning and the snowball effect, so I'm fairly certain it would be quite hard for me to change most peoples' minds, seeing as how most of the active posters (and mayor and sheriff, darn this town is stacked against me) are against me. Being as such that I won't be back until 8:30 p.m. tomorrow from the Duke tournament, I won't have much time to defend myself between now and then.

All in all, if you want to lynch me next--go ahead. Tritely put, I'll turn up green. (And it would really suck to be the miller my first game.) It's been very interesting reading what everybody has put up and I do not believe I am the most active, probably having only around 20 posts on this thread at this point.

Meeple--is this last post directed at me? From context, I'm going to assume no but I'd like to make sure.

I dont agree with this... It can be good to have more accusations going on since that gives us more intel about peoples opinions on each other. And when someone turns out to be mafiaman you can intepret that info.

Everyone being totally quiet is worse than baseless accusations made to see reactions.

Okay I've read the first 50 pages and I'm off eating just one thing.

I love when people talk about math. Even something this simple things just elude you...

Double lynch only when it reduces KP? What the... Seriously. If mafia KP reduces with 3 correct lynches it doesn't matter if you go 2-1 or 1-2, given all three lynches are a hit. It will happen after two days.

If you think you are 100% sure it doesn't matter. If you are wrong - again it doesn't matter, because you would probably lynch those 3 even in a 1-1-1 order.

Another thing. Even if a dual lynch doesn't reduce KP it reduces mafia number. So even in the hypothetical situation where we could have a dual lynch now and it would be a dual-success too. We would be left with 5 mafia and an unchanged KP of 3, yes. But those 3 clues would point to 5 mafia members instead of 6 - giving out possibly more valuable information. And if you go single lynch maybe one or more of those 3 clues would point against someone you were already sure of being mafia, etc.

I think you get the point.

Bon appetite.

Also we have no reason to double lynch as of now. We have 0 suspects on any kind of reasonable evidence. If the DTs catch someone at night the vigis can handle it if they don't vigis don't have to. Otherwise we are just going to waste it and probably kill more greens if people keep trying to force red herrings on pplz.
