Re: OT: SPF mafia round 7 - Return to Salem
W_M ... Good thinking
LEt's see. Two possible situations...
Sint was, in fact, an undercover cop. Let's call this one situation A.
Situation B would then automatically be that Sint wasn't a cop, and thus was used falsified evidence on.
Situation A. Sint was a cop. Does this work? Well, the first problem we encounter is on night 2, just after Sint hinted at being a doc. Only 1 NK was made that night. Now, he could have made an arrangement with the other cops to forgo the NK option, in order to gain the town's trust, but why did the mafia not target him? After all, he had hinted at being a townie power role. No, if he WAS an undercover cop, the hint at being the doc on day 1 would not only be illogical, but also acutely dangerous. The undercover cops have no way to protect themselves from NK, after all. So there goes that theory.
On to Situation B. Sint WASN't an undercover cop. That leaves another two situations.
B1 ) Sint was a rival mafia member
B2 ) Sint was a Townie.
B1 - Can that happen? Of course, the same problem arises as in Situation A. Namely, it wouldn't be logical, and highly dangerous besides, to set himself up as the doc on day 1.
Besides, if he was mafia, we add up to 4 mafia dead now (Lister, NacRuno, MAgicBoy and Sint) So who made the second NK this night? This one doesn't roll...
(Note, it may be possible if the factions get to declare their actions first, and that Muzz then executes them both. In other words, that Sint gets his kill because he declared it. I guess the only one who can answer that one is Muzzz, but I doubt it works that way).
B2 - Sint was a townie. This perfectly explains his behavior so far. This means that the last cop falsified the evidence and had him NK'd. The question is, ladies and gentleman, who is that person? The first suspect of course would be Thyiad, but
She could easily figure out for herself she would be under heavy suspicion if sint was NK'd after pushing for her.
This means it would be a clever move for the undercover cop left to falsifiy the evidence and kill Sint, because it would automatically make someone else(namely Thyiad) suspicious.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
One last possibility... If Muzzz says that Sint could have made that NK even while being targetted himself, the following could also have happened (and in fact, be quite likely)
Sint started of as a townie, but was turned in the night just after NacRuno died. It would perfectly explain his pushing for Thy when his rival mafia member was about to be lynched...
