Here ya go Hal, here’s a sheep you can busy yourself with for the time being.

What a twisted game. I’m sure I’ll get offed soon, now that I’m addicted.
*Fearful for their lives and suspicious of one another after a tragic, fruitless lynching, the townspeople seemed to come to an unspoken decision to stay together in the tavern as the night wore on, talking quietly and drinking themselves sodden. Some made it a solemn-faced slumber party, silently donning bunny-footed pajamas and hunkering down with their back to the wall for sporadic bursts of paranoid sleep. Some played macabre drinking games. Some simply sat. Everyone was present except the Night Watchman, who had wandered off in some unnoticed direction for a restive stroll around town.
The clock struck four. Suddenly a shot glass rang out! The townspeople looked up from their desultory round of I Never to locate the source of the noise. The glass had fallen heavily to the floor, shattering and spilling Wild Turkey on a nearby cat. The cat was unharmed. NAF1138, however, was not. Florid and senseless, he toppled to the ground from his position at the stool near the end of the bar, his body landing dully atop the broken glass. The acrid tang of Poison-brand poison filled the air.
A relative newcomer to the town, NAF was a harmless eccentric who was often seen muttering to himself about monkeys, ferns, queues, cows, and other random oddments, and periodically bewailing, “The pages! The pages!.” Some claimed his silver fillings picked up radio broadcasts. Some claimed that NAF himself was the broadcaster. The argument had now become academic.
NAF1138, a citizen, is dead.*

KNEW I was going to die. Ah well. Bad move mafia!
Town, don’t let my death be in vain!
Avenge me! AVENGE ME!!! ::cough::
Well, see y’all in the forbidden thread in the sky.
(and since I can edit now, y’all should have recruited me. After a day 1 like that I was possible the most trusted townie there was. )
avenge me!
Nooooo! Not NAF! He was my #1 suspect! (Although, in light of that fact, I guess it’s a good thing)
Well, in light of the fact that he put out reams and reams of (now known to be helpful) analysis, the town should benefit from this.
That said, I’ll definitely be putting the extra-large arrangement on your grave, NAF. I’m sorry to see you go.
(on preview: You’ll be avenged!)
Well… sorry, NAF, I guess it’s true that Mafia goes after the experienced player’s throat first…
And, while I’m at it: SnakesCatLady, why do you say I’m persistently on your case? As far as I’m aware, this is only my second post addressing you (albeit putting you on my FOS list)
Ok, quick 'n dirty version of NAF’s voting record:
185 - Minor suspicion of DiggitCamara
197- FOS Lightnin’
235 - Votes fluiddruid
240 - FOS Lemur866
287 - Unvotes **fluiddruid **
299 - FOS Omi no Kami
312 - Wonders where percypercy & Lightnin’ have gone
322 - Votes Lightnin’
446 - Unvotes Lightnin’
446 - FOS Lightnin’
446 - Votes Projammer
446 - FOS Omi No Kami
Of course, of even more use would be a record of those who spoke out against NAF (which, unfortunately, is a club of which I’m a charter member). Anyone want to dig through and see what kind of scummy things were said about our departed friend?
Sorry to see you go NAF1138. I was already torn between you being scum that was being very clever, because you seemed very town, or town that would shortly be dead. I guess I got my answer. I agree, the scum missed an opportunity to recruit you after you’d been alive long enough to get a trusted track record going. I think they felt way too threatened by your mad town skills.
That’s two out of the three that were on the Projammer bandwagon confirmed town, and dead. That doesn’t seem to bode well for my future.
We need to take a serious look at who derailed that bandwagon, and why, and who started and kept the percypercy bandwagon going.
Well, this both blows and sucks.
Interesting. NAF never left my “probably town” list, maybe he was killed because he was trusted. Maybe he was killed because he was on to someone, or maybe his analytical skills scared the Mafia. Maybe he was killed randomly to make us chase our own tails looking for an answer.
One thing we do know, is that his posts were not misleading. His ideas may have been off base, they may have been right on the mark. Which was it?
I have the feeling that our Mafia may be trying to play in a manner different from previous bad guy groups from the previous games. When we hear hoof steps from now on, we need to be looking for zebras as well as horses.
Living past night one didn’t end up feeling as good as I thought it would. 
R.I.P. NAF
Well, crap. There goes THAT theory.
So was Naf (MHRIP) a vanilla townie? For example, if he was the Doctor or Detective, would we be able to read that on his tombstone?
Dang. I’d been a bit suspicious of NAF, figuring we were either dealing with a very clever Mafioso or a Vanilla Citizen playing his heart out. I guess we know the answer to that one now. I’m wondering if the scum took him out because he was getting close to something, though? I’m definitely going to be giving NAF’s analysis a closer look now that we know it wasn’t meant to be misleading.
Lightnin’ - death gives full disclosure, so I assume NAF was just vanilla.
No mafia ever would be dumb enough to kill off all the people that voted for one of them like that. It would only point the finger right at the Mafioso.
Keep in mind that town had no idea who was or wasn’t town (with the exception of the Masons). It is entirely possible for a townie to have been responsible for the death of percypercy. I thought the Projammer bandwagon was going a bit fast, and I also voted for percypercy who turned out to be town. Does that make me Mafia? Of course not.
Projammer may be Mafia, he may not, but I don’t think your reasoning makes any sense at all. I thought you made some very good arguments on the first day, and I think this one seems pretty flimsy. To me that is a reversal of behavior. FOS nesta.
Also, if you were just noticing similarities between the two dead, why did you leave out that fluiddruid voted for both of them?
I agree with dnooman. The last thing the scum are going to do is clumsily panic and kill the guy who fingered them the first round. They’re going to leave the guys who fingered them alive, to throw us off. NAF didn’t have any more information than we do, especially since we know now that he wasn’t a mason. He was a gutsy player whose aggressive play didn’t fit a mafia profile, which means he was on a lot of “trust” lists. So they whacked him, not because he fingered the right people, impossible at this early stage, but just because he was a leader who would eventually start fingering the right people.
Hmm. How about a list of people who didn’t get fingered by anyone? If a player is so far under the radar that they were never FOSed or voted against, isn’t THAT a bit suspicious?
I don’t have an immediate answer to the second part, but as to the first part my notes say dnooman in post #461: “The Projammerwagon needs to stop and be inspected IMO”.
Okay, well, R.I.P NAF, first of all.
Let’s take a look at what we have here. Mind you this is just me speaking my thoughts aloud, if you will, in a post.
I’m looking at the last, final vote listing which was:
Six people voted for townie percypercy in the end. Six of them. Now they may all be townies and they may even all be scum, but I think the former is too coincedental and the latter would be wayyy too foolish (I doubt the scum would be that dumb).
So it stands to reason that at least ONE (or possibly even two or three) of the people who voted for her is a mafia member.
Going back, however, to my observation that it would be foolish for a lot of scum to, figuratively, put all their eggs in one basket by voting for the same person, this would probably mean that a few scum probably, to even things out, voted for other people (as to not look so suspicious).
So based on all of that stuff that seems like common sense to me, here is specific thoughts now.
All the people who voted for percypercy I’m leery of a little, but more so the people I was already suspicious of. This includes fluiddruid, and, nearing the end of the last day, CaerieD.
Omi No Kami originally suspected CaerieD for, what I and others thought, all the wrong reasons but even a stopped clock is right twice every 24 hours. It also seems strange that after he voiced his concerns (and remember, I have NO suspicion of ONK at all), a lot rushed to vote for him, creating the start of a pile-on.
So I started reading her posts more and opening myself up to thought and he was right, it seemed. She really doesn’t have much in her posts that go one way or another and she seemed to, at first, try to fly below the radar.
And finally, tirial has tripped my meter too with the various things s/he has posted the last day.
I have a lot more to say and observations I have seen but I’m going to continue going back and reading over past posts first. Bide my time a little before saying anything else.
Actually, I’d like to point out that percypercy didn’t get lynched because a **Projammer **“bandwagon” got derailed but because the Lightnin’ factor ceased to be.
Look at three votecounts prior (and close) to nightfall.
In other words, several expressed their dissatisfaction at being the “deciding votes” for Lightnin’s impending demisal, and some even said they were satisfied with their decision. (just before changing it, of course)
