Okay, I'm going to assume that animask will respond the same as everybody else. Admitting you have the results right now is not the most beneficial thing to do, because it would be obvious to them, that I know a mafia member was NoHitter's proxy.
Granted, I'm not 100% positive. There is a small chance that one of our dead townies hold the results, however I find this unlikely as our only two townies (pre-NoHitter) to die were D1. Maybe it's wrong to expect NoHitter to roleclaim
once he realizes his role is useless, but truth is I do expect it.
Let me clear up some confusion now caused by my first paragraph.
Roleclaim: Jailer.MafiaWikiA Jailkeeper (or Jailer)'s Night Action is one that protects its target from kills, but also Roleblocks its target. Unlike Doctor, Jailkeeper's protection extends to stopping every kill that would resolve on the target by default.
I protected NoHitter n2, which I felt was a no-brainer play, yet to my surprise he ended up being night-killed.
I even contacted LS to make sure my night action was accounted for.There's a few reasons I feel it is safe/required for me to role-claim right now. 1, being, that I feel the most likely situation is NoHitter scanned me Night 1, and the results were given to a mafia member. Therefor, if mafia know my role, everybody else may as well also. Second reason being, perhaps I'm confused. At this point I feel the only possibility of my protection not succeeding is that I was roleblocked. If there is a more pro-town explanation of how this could occur, I'd like to know asap so I don't go off in the wrong direction.
Let's assume my first reason is correct. The mafia now have my role information, and it is useful on multiple levels. The first way is to claim that they are the pro-town receiver of NoHitter's discoveries. That said, it would not be beneficial for them to directly accuse me of being scum. Another way, which I feel has already been accomplished, is to roleblock me at a time where it is obvious who the night-kill target is going to be. I'm also assuming here that the mafia member is not aware who the Cop actually is, otherwise NoHitter would be a bad NK target as it's free information.
Now given my above reasoning, I'll analyze the players remaining in the game, obviously exemplifying myself. If you feel I'm mafia it's up to you to fill in the blanks.
1. 0_o
(ISO)2. Rantai
(ISO)3. Haneii
[(ISO)4. animask
(ISO)5. Rolled (ISO) (if you are lazy and feel the need for it)I am eliminating Rantai as a suspect, as they were the second vote on Foulcoon D2 (unlikely if mafia), etc. All of this has already been said.
1. 0_o
2. Haneii
3. animask
Haneii was a large part in forcing foulcoon to his breaking point. Not entirely as exemplified as Rantai, though close.
1. 0_o
2. animask
Let's start with 0_o's ISO. A few things stuck out to me:
Vote Firo to get him talking.This was 0_o's only vote throughout the entire game,
which was removed short after. I understand this was addressed, and 0_o has stated why he removed his vote, however it does seem a bit too forgiving to not continue the fire on foulcoon, knowing that he's in a bad spot due to Firo.
Not only did 0_o cast only one vote, but he also pushed votes from other players.

1.5 hours left, guys. Rereading thread now, let's actually get some votes in before the day ends?
An easy way to ensure you have no ties with mafia is to not create any ties with anybody. Obviously voting isn't the only ways to create ties, however. Since we're on that subject, I'd like to point out that the only players 0_o has "attacked" (or came close to) are confirmed town (with the exception of animask). (assuming Rantai and Haneii are confirmed, I understand not literally) He's also defended foulcoon a few times, who is confirmed mafia (derp) Quotes were not used to save space.
These were all of 0_o's posts that I found to be somewhat suggestive of a person's scum relation. I did exclude 0_o's defending of foulcoon, however hopefully they're fresh in everyone's mind. I'm starting to run out of steam here, been typing this for like an hour. Also I'd like to note that 0_o has never attacked me, where I feel it was due (supporting one of the benefits of possessing my role information as mafia). I'm not proud of my lack of activity as soon as foulcoon joined the game, in fact I'll say it was rather scummy.
Rantai had a good point there.Before I fall asleep, let's talk about animask:
I really can't put in the same amount of effort as I did with 0_o, and that's not fair. My brain is pretty exhausted. One thing that's very important (imo) to note, is that animask was the third on the bandwagon for Ph0x, and a third on the bandwagon for foulcoon. This is a bit bookwormy, but I find the tell to be rather revealing from personal experience:
Third person on a wagon is likely to be mafia (+15)Animask's vote on both players actually reveals a lot. It sealed the deal for Ph0x's lynching, (3 voted ph0x, 2 voted Firo) and in the case of foulcoon, it was a last-minute attempt to distance himself. Foulcoon was getting lynched D2 whether animask voted or not.
That said, combined with the fact that I don't recall animask directly attacking me after D2,
I'm going to vote for animaskWorst case scenario IMO, is if animask turns out to be town, it will be a Day 4 town victory as opposed to a Day 3 town victory (lynching 0_o d4)
