With two aliens dead, we pretty much figured that we had sorted out the infiltration of our group. That night, we slept with our doors unlocked and everyone got some much needed sleep.

The next morning, I woke up refreshed and happy. Everyone was upbeat and smiling, except for Hephaestos who wasn't up still. I was about to ask about him when someone came in and said : "Why the hell is there a bear skin in Heph's bed?"

With the bear skin in Heph's room, we  instantly knew where to search and, like I had feared, in front in the fireplace, we discovered an Hephaestos skin. (Yes our bunker has a fireplace!)

DAY FOUR START

i'm not THAT hairy ^^

/zombie

This is where it gets difficult, for sure.

i targeted heph for an investigation last night, so have no results.

good one mafia, keep me alive to continue looking scummy?

im guessing noname is the alien then. given radish's experience i can't see him keeping me alive for that.

FoS:noname

(unless radish was lying about the experience he has, i might be being a bit too trusting of him here)

Not really, it's actually a pretty straightforward logic puzzle, IMO. 

First, I'd like Truck to confirm, here and/or on the first page that ABC was scum, as the flavor indicates.

Second, we decide if we believe trash is the cop.  No one has counterclaimed; neither you nor I was online yesterday, but I'm willing to state now that I am not the cop, and you haven't jumped to do so yet, so there is no counterclaim.  It appears ABC was scum, as trash claimed yesterday.  There are three possibilities: she really is the cop, she's scum who claimed cop and sacrificed a scumbuddy, or she's a townie who false-claimed to save herself from the threat of a lynch.  We can remove the second two possibilities, since Linkz has claimed Miller, a role which is pointless without a cop. 

Unless they're in cahoots, and there are therefore four scum in a eleven-player game, she is the cop after all.  Since three scum is already pushing it in a vanilla game (which we seem to have) of this size, I'm confident there are not four scum.

Finally, there are five players remaining: you, me, trash, prof, and linkz.  Trash is clear.  She has also cleared prof, which is why I'm willing to abandon my crusade against him (this is doubly true since he's admitted that the gambit was, in fact, stupid, and please keep your word about learning your lesson prof00).  I know I'm not scum, although you're free to decide on that yourself.  Trash presumably investigated someone else as well, which hopefully wasn't heph.  In any case, for me, that leaves you and Linkz.

I question how likely it is that a game which apparently only has two pro-town power roles would have more than the recommended proportion of scum-to-town (3:1) AND a Miller.  That's a deck that's rather stacked too heavily against the town for me to think Truck formed such a game. Linkz has claimed Miller, and at what struck me as an odd time to do so.  Additionally, he also opposed my attempt to get ABC to roleclaim day one, something which I hope we can all now agree we should have done when I pushed for it.  Furthermore, heph was the most vocal skeptic about the Miller claim, and now he is dead.

You've been your usual self this game, which is to say that you've mostly stayed out of the limelight when possible and that you've lied to make yourself look better.  Normally the latter would damn you in my eyes, but as far as I can tell that's just you being you so, like I did in our first game together, I'm going to go with my gut on you, which says you're not scum.  For the record though, that's not a good reputation to have, and I really hope you strive more to improve your game.

So, for me, I'm fairly confident that the last scum is Linkz.  I admit to being surprised that trash is still alive, but then again it makes a certain sense if Linkz is the last scum, since he's already established that he's  going to scan Guilty, so why not pick off others in the meantime?  Moreover, trash is in fact the cop, unless more than a third of the players are scum.  Ergo

Vote: Linkzmax

I'm going to look at Linkz's interaction with both Stef and ABC before making a judgement, although your points do make a lot of sense.

Ah, my thanks to Truck for formally marking ABC as scum.

to answer the first part, i said this earlier:

i could see why linkz would be doing that, I didn't bother investigating him though I wanted to because he had assured us he would flip town. Since we have 1 mafia left (presumably), since I read your post I'm wondering if we shouldn't lynch him to see. Even if I'm nightkill tonight, I think it could be worth it.

vote: Linkzmax

Current Votes (3 needed to lynch) :

[2 - L-1] Linkzmax: noname00; trashleg

Observations as I'm reading them (Sorry for lack of quotes, I'm trying to do maths HW atm, and this is primarily for my own use anyway):

P1-5) General banter / jokes. Nothing interesting going on here.

P7) Both Stef and Linkz are making attempts at FoSing ABC etc. fits in with the general town attitude at the time.

P8-12) Wonk vs Radish argument - Linkz generally sides with radish. ....wow this goes on for a while.

13) ABC Wonk vs Radish

14) Linkz dismisses ABC as a "distracting townie".

Rest of the topic: If Linkz is the last Mafia, he did a good job of blending in with the rest of the town. I notice that he sides with me quite a lot in the early game, possibly to gain my trust for the potential 2v1 endgame-death-vote. He was often saying that ABC's playstyle is distracting - this could be seen as a hint to improve his game to improve their chances of winning.
