Maybe this is obvious, but what makes you think that? We're only down two confirmed mafia members at the moment. The likelyhood that two of them died night 1 is pretty low. I guess we'll know for sure after the next night.
I'd love to ask Veli for more info on the kingmaker thing just played. In his earlier post, he indicated that there would be some sort of list, but I don't know what for. The fact that it was given to JJ does seem weird, but I don't know what to make of that.
So far, haven't read anything that rules out the possibility of a scum inventor, but if Nisani is going to play nice, we should definitely keep him around.
Paperscraps' ability says that he can't both send in kills and use his burn ability unless he's the only member of his team remaining. As we know his kill flavor (was discouraged), we see that he was responsible for deaths on consecutive nights. If the mafia team has more members, they surely wouldn't want to give up KP by having Paperscraps send in any kills, but that looks to have happened.
The alternative is that there are multiple roles capable of dealing .5kp, and that Paperscraps took 2 cycles to kill one player and then killed another player who had already taken .5kp of damage.
It's not guaranteed, but I think the first alternative is far more likely than the second.

I was given access to the black market by other players. I do believe that Velinath, under the alias iloveoov, bought the watcher that he gave to ghost, and this kingmaker item, which he presumably trusted with you.

If he is the last player he can do the kill AND have his ability. Actually this indicates, that there's another member around with a better ability than his. Then again, it's 2:30 am.
From the flip:
You may also carry out kills on behalf of aperture science in the place of using your powers( you may perform both if you are the last remaining member).
Emphasis mine, and note the parenthetical clause.

I think now is a good time to claim, so please read closely.
I am a member of House Chezinu, 5th Party, a mason group consisting of me, Maverick, and gonzaw. We are aligned with the town, and Maverick and gonzaw breadcrumbed this with the first letters of their sentences during the beginning of the game (I didn't bother, because I was lazy :D).
Gonzaw's plan was to claim the engine to draw fire, while actually giving it to one of us for protection. The details of his role flip would have allowed us to claim safely, and then we would have blanked one or more 3rd-party kill (which I still think are oneshot) and confirmed 2 town players. The masked flip made this plan not work as intended, so we've waited until now to reveal ourselves.
As an additional perk of being in the House, we elected me to be a member of the Black Market. My alias is BoxeR, and I used my 400$ to buy a kp and a watcher. However, at this time the Spell Breaker disabled my use of items, so I gave them to Maverick, who watched Dirk and attempted to shoot Nisani. However, due to failing to PM all 3 of the mods, his shot didn't go through, and Nisani claimed in the following day. Maverick then shot Paperscraps last night, but apparently it was superceded by the "Burned to Death" player.
I currently have 0$, but I do have 5 "Evidence Packets," which each are a one-shot framer item. I put them up for sale, but no one has shown interest in buying them.
The Market still exists. Today's auction item is "Delicious Cake," which enforces a posting restriction on a player so that they can't post for 24 hours. No one has yet to bid on it.
Kitaman, I can't disclose the full contents of the QT per rules, but I can tell you that there seem to have been 3 active participants: Me, Velinath, and one other, who bought the Companion Cube and was offering to sell letters (1-shot PMs). However, none of these were purchased either. There could be more participants, but if so, they haven't posted yet.

This becomes a matter of semantics, but my role is in green, and I am told that I win with the town. Our alignments are not mutually mod-confirmed, but our interactions, especially those involving exchanging items, led us to mutually trust each other. I have a hard time believing that Maverick is scum or third party, because he could have easily shot me with the kp I gave him, taken the rest of items with no one the wiser, at no risk to himself.
Regarding the Black Market, I just looked back and there are 2 more posters in it, but they haven't posted anything since the very first day/night cycle. Most of the posts in there are bids and offers, so there isn't much to analyze in terms of style.

midnight, if paper would have been the last member, they had 1 1/2 kp each night (he can use both the kp and the ability if he's the last alive), which would kill three persons instead of two. there's at least one more and he has an ability worth sacrificing half a KP.
also, this mason network confuses me. we're 13 now if I counted right. There's (assumptions!) 2-3 thirds around, 1 scum and 2-3 cell. Which is around 6 anti town. I was specifically advised that scum may have masons. Do you guys have a QT? How many unique viewers do you have? This is fishy.
going to bed now. totally exhausted. I'll hand my final thesis in tomorrow! Yay for master's degree!
Jayjay,
Night 1, he burns a player. (Grack)
------ I hypothesize that one of the hidden flips was Aperture mafia
Night 2, he burns a player. (Grack dies)
----- Bluelightz is lynched, leaving Paperscraps as the last Aperture mafia
Night 3, he burns a player and sends in a kill. (Hassy dies, presumably .5kp leftover)
Our QT's number of unique views (16) was modconfirmed to be limited to the three of us, and the mods.

Still, I really hope you're telling the truth, if only because I wouldn't know what to do if we figured that the kingmaker item was bought by scum (not Velinath) and JJ was one of them. Tell me, what's the relationship between you two and Foolishness? I had him pegged as town for reviving after being killed by mafia, but clearly he knew about you two (and you two about him).

Lots of shit will happen in this town.
So before you can show a frown
I ask of you
don't look for clues
and to Chezinu I am not brown. I assume you still have your kp? If your kill was superceded, then your item must have been refunded. Last thing: not that I don't believe you, but I just can't see any breadcrumbing in Maverick and Gonzaw's posts. Can you elaborate?
I know nothing of Foolishness, and I have no idea what he knows about us. I would actually love for him to explain that bit to me, as well.
I don't know if Maverick's kp was refunded or not, but I've played in games where stacking shots are refunded, or aren't refunded.
Gonzaw's breadcrumb is the first letter of each of his posts, starting with: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=13948366
There a couple of messed up places, but it reads: MAVE_RI__CK MIDNIGHT ARE HOUSE CH_E__ZINU FIFT_ PARTY
Maverick did a similar thing, I can dig it up too, if you want.

The mods told us that Maverick no longer has his KP  .

Hmm, discrepancies... interesting :D.
I told Maverick to watch Dirk during Night 2, and he told me in the QT that Dirk was visited by Willz and Kita. Yet you claim to have protected Dirk that night as well.
Needless to say, I trust Maverick far more than I trust you, but can you offer an explanation for why this might be?

So you're claiming Lord of Black Flames, a known 3rd-party role, and say you win with town?
I'm going to guess for now that you and the Lord of the Rift stacked their shots on gonzaw, and that the other one took precedence, unless you want to claim "friendship flames" as an actual ability  . That would imply that you had 4kp during that cycle, which seems kind of... absurdly strong.

In the Black Market thread, the player who bought the Companion Cube (smurf account that we all agreed to ignore) just bought a Sentry Gun (1kp) and is leading the auction for the Delicious Cake (forces a player to not post for 24 hours).
Additionally, this player has some number of Letters (one-shot PMs), and no one else has bought any of them, so if any of you have been receiving such forms of communications, it should be this player.
Kita, I'm kind of annoyed that you used the Color Radiator yourself instead of giving it to someone more likely to have the town's best interests in mind, because then we likely wouldn't have to deal with the off chance of you lying about it. However, the fact that the four players haven't responded particularly well also troubles me, and I would be entirely fine with Wiggles dying today.
I also will note that the Radiator returned 1 Mafia. This likely means that there exists a mafia doctor/roleblocker/other strong PR, and the team decided it would be better to keep using that action. A mafia doctor would actually fit with what we've seen so far, as that would have accounted for Maverick's kp without refunding it, allowing kita to claim the actual kill.

The Companion Cube provides the purchaser with account details to a Smurf Account. Smurfs are unkillable, Unlynchable, and may not vote or use items. They may, however, post in the thread. Smurfs count as items.
And yes, at first he said he had "some number" of letters, then more recently said that he had five left. I assume that he's been using them in the meantime, and it might help us identify the player.

"YellOw" just bought another Sentry Gun (for a total of 2kp currently in his possession), and he won the auction for the Delicious Cake (forces a player to not post for 24 hours).
I say we keep going with the list for now, heading into tomorrow, and then we can see what develops tonight. Kita is looking better to me, though I'm still concerned that he might just be a straight-up serial killer. Regardless, it's certainly nice to have so much kp shooting into scum, at least for now.
Also, notice how Wiggles had no kill flavor? That suggests to me that only one member of the Cell can carry out hits, after which we're safe. With any luck, that cell member is also on the list.

That would be great, especially if it could also identify "beings of great power."

Rawr, you guys never told us (House Chezinu) on Day 3 that we were confirmed town to each other (as it says in the .doc)! I'm glad we found reasons to trust each other fairly quickly, but that still would have been nice.
