Wow, so much happened during the night. And here I thought my plan to blow the game wide open seemed risky. I'm going to drop the pretense of the role playing now because it's a pain in the ass to keep up when trout is this serious.

Mafia already claimed a role. Koromaru is not the Doctor, I am. On day one I protected Mitsuru. I wasn't convinced of anyone really at the time so I chose at random. Congratulations Mitsu, you survived because Mitsuru is my waifu. So I've been 99% sure she wasn't mafia this whole time since not trying to night kill on night one was statistically stupid.

Night two I figured she seemed like the obvious choice for me to save and that she wouldn't be targeted for that reason. I'm not one to play that conservative a game that I'll just target her again though. I went with someone else I was 50/50 on that wasn't making too many waves in the hope that if he was the one chosen I'd gain some new information. Since I'm not the only role in this game after all I figured the others were bound to find something if I didn't. So I protected Koromaru. Obviously not the best choice since he was never in danger but hey! We know our first mafia with 100% certainty now so time to rock out to that one boys and girls! And he's one that's slipped through the cracks enough that maybe he's roleblocker? I don't know. Might be too early to say that, though he's certainly a role stealer!

Now until reading everything this morning Junpei was one of my prime suspects. He was pushing Mitsuru pretty hard without much to really back his claim. Since I knew she was town it seemed like a mafia perhaps trying to generate a lynch vote for a townie. But if he's actually the tracker and saw that she moved to investigate someone then by my admittedly limited understanding of the game since it's my first mafia tells me that makes sense, so I'm less suspicious now, and certainly less suspicious of him than Koromaru.

Other suspects I had prior to today included Akihiko because he just contributes so little to the actual discussions and his accusations are about 70% insane and 30% sane. Honestly I think he's mafia trying to avoid too much suspicion by being completely battrout and so far the only legitimate claims he's actually made have been against town while everything else is so god damn ridiculous it makes no sense.

My other suspects largely came down to Koromaru since I was having trouble getting a bead on him (hence protecting him in case of a night kill since that could have cleared him up almost completely for me), and Elizabeth since she was suspicious of Junpei but not really pushing him hard and suspected Akihiko but could have been tossing him under the bus since he's crazy. I was also having a tough time really feeling her out as she's been a little less active and not really committing hard to any actions. Obviously Junpei maybe (probably?) not being mafia changes my assessment of her a bit and of everyone really. Though I stand by my Akihiko is mafia vote if only because I would really hope that a town wouldn't be this god damn nuts and he's been largely unhelpful. Probably deliberately so.

And now a little refresh before I post we see that Junpei is claiming he followed Koromaru night one and Mitsuru night two but was blocked. Again, I protected Mitsuru night one, which given Koromaru falsely claiming to be doctor makes me think he was the guy going out for a bit of killing. I'm assuming he made the claim since he knew he visited Mitsuru and could have been found out? Sorry Koromaru, no Mitsu kibble for you.
