Why would mafia not take out djm if they had a strongman?
Several haven't claimed a role/ability and not everyone has claimed a name.
Which of the other players with similar claims did you NOT consider night killing?

I considered a bunch of names and I only had one shot. I ended up deciding Laarz claim was very weak with no back-up. Of course I can't be sure of any claim. In hindsight, of course I think I should have gone after FoE, considering the lack of claim, and frankly, the lack of anything coming from him.
One thing I did note was omg's comment about hating whoever claimed Alfred.

Sorry for not being around in the end of the last day phase and the beginning of this. Busy weekend.
As for my claim, I am Lucius Fox and am an Inventor. I have a list of gear that (according to my PM) provides different passive abilities. Every second night (starting from N1), I get to choose a piece of gear from the list and give it to someone - however, I do not know what the gear does, so I can only guess by judging it on its name.
On N1 I didn't send in my night action due to a combination of RL and (mainly) forgetting about it.
I used my power N3, but am going to hold on to the specific details for now.

Omg: can we get a character name or goal you have for this game?
Probably not too smart poking the guy that has a gun with a stick.

Astute observation. To build upon this: If we assume that there are two mafia teams, and coju was mafia hitman for team #1, then we might assume that whomever is doing the poisoning is also a hitman for team #2.
If this is true, then what 'perk' (for lack of a better term) does Team 2 have over Team 1? A poison kill is significantly less desirable than a standard kill. In the interest of balance, one team would have an advantage over the other, so there'd need be something to counter-balance that.
As such, I'm not yet convinced that there are two separate mafia teams.
Just for the record, I'll not be claiming my role/ability. It is not an investigative role/ability, and the town gains no benefit from knowing what it is.

They were on the same team? They thought someone else would? I dunno, but it's very interesting.
So many items in this game!
Why do you think so? I suspect as well, but I'm curious as to your reasoning.

Yea, plus I know someone who received an item on N1. Guessing this was pharphis' or ankeli's role.
If you forgot to send in a N1 action, why didn't you submit it N2 instead?
How many items are on the list?
Is your N3 target still living and able to corroborate your claim?

- Because my role states that I can use it on all uneven days.
- 8, now 7.
- my N3 target is still alive.
I do not know whether or not my targets are notified on whether or not they have received an item - I've PM'd the mod about this. All I know is that all items grant some form of passive ability. Whether or not anybody else have received items, I cannot comment on - I would guess that if there is/was another inventor-style role in this game it would either be scum or different from mine in a fundamental way (maybe by granting active abilities) - but guessing is all I can do. Honestly, I have a hard time believing that there would be two of such a relatively rare role in a single game.
A kill via poison mechanic is commonly immune to doc saves but that raises more questions than answers - both killers could/should have targeted djm N2. The poison mechanic also weakens watchers/trackers a little bit. If the kill is sent during the day instead of at night.... it suddenly becomes quite strong as it bypasses most other power roles.
Were you worried your N3 target was mafia? Were you expecting them to say something about receiving an item?
I think your N3 target should claim if they received an item. It would show FoE used a non-killing ability on a night where all expected deaths occurred.
Paranoid much?

Doesn't post enough. I don't think he's lied about anything in his actions, as he was pretty opposed to doing so in our last game, which had much easier claims to fake.
The one-way Lover makes some sense, as it could help balance that 4-man mason team.
Redirector is rarely a town role. Same with Bus Driver; it's usually a mafia role that is occasionally given to the town for WIFOM purposes. Your comment about it being used in a mafia manner is absolutely true, but, his comments directly led to capturing a different scum. That would only make sense if there are two mafia teams - otherwise, he bussed his own partner for no good reason.
If CDM were to be lynched and flipped scum, I'd take that as absolute proof of multiple mafia teams. He'd be my fourth choice for today; Moar, BPC, and FoE (in that order) before him.
