And I was total garbage as to clue interpreting. I didn't even notice the DrH/scalpel thing until meeples pointed it out to me by PM.

Jugan asked me in a pm to post what I think of recent events.

First, I'm very sad that we lost a detective early on, through what I think stupid play. What's done is done, but there is still a lesson to be learned. Blues should hide as much from the Mafia as the Mafia is hiding from the town.

Don't do anything suspicious. Be careful who you communicate with in private. Make sure the public knows who you are talking to if something goes wrong.

Second, as for double lynch, there is a decent chance that a new set of clues will allow us to nail at least one Mafia. However, double lynches are usually used when you have solid clues on multiple people. I don't think we have enough to go on to successfully lynch two Mafia. At this point, I think we're more likely to lynch two innocents than two Mafia. I would use double lynch later.

Finally, I think some of you have a too narrow focus. Early clues are always really vague and very loosely connected to the Mafia. They could refer to anyone. Just one example:

First result for "magicbullet" on google is the "magic bullet blender," which is kitchen equipment. What role do the refrigerator and the food references play in the first kill on day 1? Why are they necessary for the story?

Another example, citi.zen's quote is "Aut inveniam viam aut faciam." It's Latin and means "I shall either find a way or make one." How would you describe this sentiment? Perseverance. How would you describe the character in the first kill on day two?

Now I don't mean to say magicbullet and citi.zen are Mafia. I just think it's important to keep an open mind and not become too obsessed with any one reference at this point. Like "I just can't ignore how clue X seems to fit perfectly to person Y." There's a good chance the clue has to be interpreted in a totally different way from what you're thinking.

That was a very good post for a mafia I thought. Vague, but also somewhat reasonable (unlike others). What I am curious is: what was your conversation with Jugan about? Did you have him convinced you were innocent?

I facepalmed the instant I read DrH's defense of me in the tea clue. I knew I was going to be dead the instant DrH got caught.

Stuff like this makes me wonder if mafia would be more successful if they brainwashed themselves into not remember who their teammates are...

The only problem would be if the mafia start hitting eachother haha.

Yea I'm pretty sure that a mafia playing "without knowing his teamates" would be much more effective.

And yea, waiting before posting DrH's accusation in order to collect more clues and get reactions on differents suspects is what really helped to catch the last mafia members imo.

There was nothing wrong with the balance in this game I think, the mafia just played risky. Look at BC's game played with the same rules.

Great job Incognito!

BC's game had too many inactives, and got some bad breaks.
2 Vigis, and 1 DT died Day 1. Another inactive DT was lynched Night 1 by the Mayor upon winning the election.
So before any real action starts, we already lost all the Vigis and DT's.
2 Medics got mod killed due to inactivity, as well as 4 other greens.
Pretty much it right there.
