Okay, after reading most of the posts, I can see we have two cases of conflict during the first day:

-FinalFan VS Spurge because of the possible amount of mafias in the game. For what I can see (and correct me if I'm wrong), this whole discussion was started when Spurge suggested the amount of mafias in this game were two. FF thought this amount is unusual, and asked his reasons for that amount, which Spurge has not given a clear answer yet. I agree with FF's stance in the matter up to a point. Two mafias on a 12 player game is a weird amount, specially if we take into account that this is session is taking some special rules to make it faster. Why would it take less mafias, then? that would slow down the game. I have asked multiple times in this game what is the usual proportion of mafias per players, and I'm still waiting for an answer. If I had to make a guess, I would say between a 1/4 and 1/3 of the players are mafias here, simply because that amount is great to speed up the game while not being too harmful to towns. In this case, between 3 and 4 players would be mafia. FF being FoSed by Spurge is also not a good sign, either (still, I would have reacted less agressively, that only attracts suspicions, FF). So for now I'm focusing more attention on Spurge. Not FoS yet, but a bit more attention.

-Hatmoza VS Padib because of Hatmoza's analysis list. After Hatmoza wrote a pretty detailed analysis of the activity of every player here, and then he explained his suspicions based on that data. I particulary like the reasoning of who might be mafia by not interacting with other players, that could be a nice lead. After that, Padib said that the amount of activity of the players doesn't mean they're mafia (which I agree up to a point. I always imagine Mafia trying to, either fly under the radar completely, or taking the lead on any lynch to try and look townie while taking out some competition, I don't know if a strategy in the middle would be safer or more effective). Which inmediately made Hatmoza start to suspect Padib, sayying: "Wow just wow. Look how desperate Padib was to fill in his data gaps. You just skyrocketed on the scum scale. Furthermore you immediately try to devalue the OBJECTIVE data I presented as a personal scheme by me." Also, FF made a good point that a Mafia could make this analysis as well: this could be Hatmoza trying to take the lead to mislead everyone, and offering objective but relative easy to get data would be a way to go (people might be too lazy to count the amount of posts of every player and their part in the game, but they could do it). I'm having a hard time on this one, because both players have a decent point, and yet have become pretty active trying to discredit each other. Calm responses are the way to go, and I don't think either of them are doing it. I'm almost certain that one of the two is mafia, but I have no idea who. I'm going to FoS both, just to be sure.

Also there's Hatmoza calling Noctis things, but I don't know if it's a joke or it's part of a plan. So yeah.

For now, I'm thinking of using one of my votes against Truck, due to the lack of activity.

My reasoning here? I believe a player needs to interact with the game with some certain frequency, and not doing so is just giving the mafias a giant excuse to attack other, more active players, with the certainty of the inactive one won't react with enough speed to stop it. It's dead weight for the towns. If in 12 h you haven't written something here, I will vote against you.
