Aww man, I just knew Goryani was Town and was doing a good job... RIP! If he died, but Town has 5 people, then either we must have rescued (2) people last night, or Gory was a role that didn't show up in the stats. There was a police station, but no one using it. Could he have been a hidden cop?

I want to look back and find out who started the Noodle wagon-train yesterday.
Also I saw a few people voting Ankeli (Val I think and Techno) then looking at the end tally they must have switched. Be interesting to check out when they did that. Attempting to lock a lynch last minute or with quite a lot of time to go.
Well, Bad Ash voted for Noodle first, I guess I may have got the Noodle train rolling, and Noammr thirded it and away we went. I never voted for Ankeli or anyone else. Noodle was my first and only vote and was kinda forced at the time because that was my last chance, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to vote at all.
Yesterday, after I had slept on it, I actually started feeling bad, like I may have made a mistake, especially after seeming to start the lynch train. Upon further reading and reflection though, I think I made a good decision, I just didn't realize all of the details at the time.
When I voted for Noodle, something about him just didn't seem to feel right to me. I second guessed myself, but last night I realized Something still didn't feel right. At first I thought that EITHER Noodle OR Ankeli had to be Mafia, but probably not both. As a n00b, I did not feel comfortable AT ALL about possibly voting for a Doc, but I'm starting to think that may have been the whole point. After reading and thinking quite a bit more, I think Noodle AND Ankeli are BOTH Mafia (especially considering Ankeli survived the night)! Here's what I think the chain of events really went like:
- Townies discussing too much strategy (which I think is a good thing).
- Ankeli tries to derail and largely succeeds (as did Sathoris, but aside from that, he hasn't actually DONE anything to invoke my suspicion... yet.).
- Folks get onto Ankeli though, and it looks like he may become a target.
- Ankeli drops a vague Doc reference in order to scare Townies away from voting for him (like me!), but no one seems to pick up on it.
- Noodle (coming to the rescue) brings it up. No harm, no foul. Yet.
- Then when Noodle so thoroughly explains that Ankeli dropped Doc, it seems a little over the top, pretty much condemning Ankeli at night (unless mafia), and itt's about the only thing of substance he added on Day 1.
- This brought most of the suspicion down on Noodle and he barely survived.
- Ankeli survived the night, which makes the whole thing look even more suspicious.
Now, if Ankeli really is Town, I suppose the Mafia may hold off just to not look too suspicious, especially since he's lynch-bait anyway. I'm having a hard time seeing all this playing out to their orchestration however, so I'm still very suspicious of Ankeli. Dropping Doc is suicide for Townie, but that may be exactly what he wanted everyone to think, yada yada. Recursion get's us no where. Ankeli's defense of Noodle in post #179 also looks suspicious.
I think I initially voted ignorantly, and for that I apologize, but I now think I was right for the wrong reasons. My Spidey-sense was tingling, but I put my finger on the wrong thing.
I about 80% sure Noodle and Ankeli are both Mafia. I've got my eye on a couple others, and I believe I've identified a few Townies, but I'll keep those (somewhat speculative) opinions to myself for now.
