Okay, I suppose the first and simplest assumption we can all begin to work with is that since Watermelon had his head on the chopping block, and only his changed vote saw Blueberry ousted, it wouldn't be out of line to therefore assume that there is at least one other mafia in the ranks of those who voted for Watermelon.

Off the back of what I was seeing in Day 2 proceedings, I think Cherry has the most to answer for. The vote for Watermelon by Cherry was laid on fairly shaky grounds;

I have to agree with the pretty little Raspberry. Watermelon, Green Apple & Blueberry voted for inactives first before my dear Strawberry did. Thus casting doubt on all 3 given that Strawberry is now dead. Although they may have voted for different players they are exhibiting classic mafia voting. So if I'm gonna pick one who seem most like to be scum I have to say..........

##Vote: Watermelon
That vote could've gone to anyone of the three, so why Watermelon?

My thinking is that Watermelon's defense of his vote for an inactive in Day 1 provided an opening to the mafia to begin targeting him and buttering all of us up to believe that Watermelon was acting suspiciously. They wanted us to think that posting in defense of your own actions was suspicious activity. It would've worked too, had all the pre-existing doubt over Blueberry not existed and Watermelon's vote change not come in.

You may think that if Cherry was really going to put Watermelon in the spotlight, it'd be with words stronger than "is closing my eyes & picking one at random a good enough reason?" but this is how the mafia play their game. They try not to get too involved in the actual to-ing and fro-ing, but stand back and throw light punches until other people begin to believe their lies. Not only that, but when Cherry said this, Fruit Basket had just come in, moments before, announcing an extension of the day by 12 hours. Hmm.

Peach had this to say about it when Watermelon posed the question to Cherry "why me?";

I find it weird that 3 players would display a similar voting pattern day one ie lets vote the inactive players. I know from previous mafia outings there is usually a mafia amongst the inactive players & to draw attention away from that, other mafia vote for them day 1 & from day 2 onwards dismiss their actions as merely day 1 randomness.
This is what I'm talking about! This isn't helping at all, Cherry. You're being patronizing and just arguing, not discussing. If Watermelon isn't Mafia, then you're condemning an innocent man.
Exactly. Not getting involved, but yet managing to garner 3 votes against Watermelon (one of which is confirmed mafia). Almost enough to have finished him off.

How would Cherry know what time zone Blueberry is in? It's not hard evidence by any means, so why does Cherry exonerate Blueberry of suspicion so quickly? Obviously because they're one and same.

It's early, I know. But frankly, I think I've seen enough.
