Well, I mean why not? I mean I agree insofar as we should not be hasty, but at the end of this day we have to come to a consensus on someone whom a simple majority of us thinks is in the Mafia so we can get out ye olde lynching rope and hang them on high so as to put on an entertaining spectacle for the peasantry.

At any rate, as I said before, out of that short list you mentioned, I suspect Infernus the most. On the other hand, Think is possibly correct that it could be just Infernus being Infernal. Also, the possibility of mutton being in the mob can't be discounted entirely either, though again I think it's just mutton being muttonly.


As for Think, it seems that he was primarily the one whose machinations caused a lynching to be avoided on the first day. His logic and designs were so circuitous and involved so much private communications that it was hard for me to follow. However, I can only think of two reasons why he would try to avoid a lynching at all:

1) He genuinely was trying to prevent a premature execution, as a poorly motivated guess had a high chance of us being down two people, as the Mafia was going to kill one of us off anyway.

2) We were close to offing one of his fellow mafioso, and he determined that the best outcome he could get would be inaction because he felt it impossible to cast enough suspicion on an innocent villager.


For now, let's set aside possibility #1, just to explore in hypothetical scenarios how option 2 could very well have played out, given what we know. For if option 2 is correct, we may very well be able to determine the identities of not one but two members of the Mafia that have dared to insinuate themselves upon our once peaceful insular bigoted little hamlet. I mean it's still as insular and bigoted as ever, just not quite so peaceful.

At any rate, IF option 2 is true, and that is a big if as it is all in caps, I would be most inclined to think that Think and bfdirty were both Mafia. Again, let me emphasize: this is all hypothetical. A bfdirty majority vote was close to being achieved, but then it fell apart thanks mostly to Think. After that it wasn't clear that he could 6 votes for anyone else, so clearly the best strategy would be to throw suspicion around the group and distract everyone from the newfag with the delicious target sign painted on him.


If he isn't Mafia, however, then his conniving, scheming papist brain could be put to good use for us, as we have already seen, and we can always deliver him up to a kangaroo court on charges of heresy and witchcraft after the Mafia is dealt with.
