Ugh...we're so fucked. Prof, your secret role better be a fucking good one.
I don't think we have a cop, because I'm not it. Unless outlawauron is the cop, in which case he's the worst fucking cop ever. Or if prof was the cop, which would make even less sense. Not having a cop would at least balance this game a bit. Since we obviously have some pretty intense town power, what would mafia roles be? They'd have to be quite something to overcome all this. Roleblocker seems a given, strongman a given, what else could they have? Strongman is probably a pointless role at this point. The presence of investigative roles could mean a ninja.
Right now, I'm exhausted from all the packing, and trying to keep up with this thread. But here's my thoughts. Padib is town. Prof is town. Noname and Smeags are town. Outlaw is town. Not sure about anyone else. I don't know if White Eagle was being a nooby townie or slipping up as a nooby scum anymore. I'm inclined to think he's suspicious from all the story changing, but there is a logical explanation that isn't too far fetched, so whatever.
At the moment I'm mostly looking at Sparks. He's been high on my list for a while now, but I didn't want to pressure him while he was pointing a gun at everyone. I can't blame him for the shot, since he left the final say to Smeags and besides I still say at the time the evidence pointed to Cone being our best bet, but now that I'm more confident that prof is town, I'm thinking Sparks' buddying up with him, something that prof wondered about since day 1, is starting to look very suspicious. Like whenever prof gets really aggressive and Sparks isn't the target, Sparks sides with him, at least until it looks like it isn't going anywhere. Unfortunately, prof has trusted Sparks because he sees him as a veteran and likes having his ego stroked, and it's gotten us nowhere.
Also, I refuse to believe that Sparks is a swapper. He's a thief, plain and simple. Being a thief doesn't automatically make you mafia, especially not in Fire Emblem where there are plenty of good guy thieves, but lying about it makes you scummy. Stealing a bulletproof vest might have been a good idea, as it would create one person the mafia probably won't bother as he's either vanilla or bulletproof, and another secret bulletproof townie. But instead of keeping the vest, he got rid of it, saying he gave it to Smeags but Smeags just doesn't know he has it. And he steals a new item that lets him keep the pressure off himself by pointing a gun at everyone, while also giving him ultimate say over the next kill. He could keep it until he needs it, but instead he hijacks the thread by saying he's going to use it or it'll be lost at night when he tries to take another power. As far as I'm concerned, he's taken two townie's powers and used them for his own gain. The first to get him night protection, and the second to keep the heat off him and give him power over the thread. If he were town, he'd be using this power more responsibly, and he'd have admitted to his power role when prof first cornered him on it.
Also, he suspects padib as being possibly mafia. Padib is the most confirmed town we have (that isn't dead). Very scummy.
I'm probably not going to be on over the next few days. Moving into college and all. So I'm voting now.
vote: Sparks
