Some thoughts:
I wonder why we don’t just resolve the entirety of the Sultan | Goose | Ghidorah bloc right now - it’s probably the best way to make progress and I still think it would be pretty wild for that trio to be pure based on Day 1, both considering the starting wagon on wrongboy (flipped town) and the final wagon on myself.
Goose chooses which one of Sultan and Ghidorah he thinks is mafia and shoots them, and we lynch the other.
If Goose claims that they used their one and only shot, we just lynch Goose I think, I don’t think a reasonable town uses their 1-shot in this way knowing it is such.
It is possible that my Bionic TR is just faultier than I had assumed at first too, and I do question the coherency of his play at the end of the day - but he’s still not first on my radar at the moment.
In weird worlds where that bloc is somehow pure I think we have to take the bus-world much more seriously; I doubt May and Bionic are paired given their Day 1 interactions nor would they want to double-stack too often to try to save a possibly doomed partner.
On Eve will say I remember their comment about the first 300 posts being a ‘nothing burger’ didn’t sit too right with me, when I brought it up to them I don’t remember getting an answer as to why they thought that either.
That said, @Bionic I would still like an answer to my question about your protection action - did you act as bodyguard on N1?If so on who and why?
Assuming you are some kind of JoaT role, do you think later night actions of yours could be important for helping us solve the game? Should you be a target for Town Protection roles on Night 2?
The sooner you answer these questions, the better.
@SultanOfSlam - What’s the wider mafia strategy there though? If Kii isn’t ending the day top wagon, then it’s probably me that goes instead. In both worlds where Kii is either factional mafia or not, wouldn’t a coherent and tempting idea for mafia be, if they made the realisation that you claim, to make a feigned effort to push Kii knowing they don’t get lynched, rather than consolidate the Lee wagon and make it a viable counter-wagon to me?
The lynch being specifically Kii isn’t necessary for mafia to advance their goals on Day 1, and indeed if I get lynched, having Kii as a failed counter-wagon moving into Day 2 is money in the bank if Kii is town (or at least non-factional).
