The way I‘m seeing it, we could have some situations:
- Holt Mafia Det -> James is Sane Det having gotten Guilty on Tatsu, Sam and Holt. Making all 3 mafia. This would also make Marm real Spy who caught Holt in a lie via Brandish.
- James Mafia Det -> He‘s not doing any plays with M. Det and only presenting us some bad targets he wasted his spice on. Really bad Mason play but fine Mafia Mason play. In this case Holt is town, Gajeel is mafia and we all go home happy having lynched properly. Holt checks a new player or dies at night and we continue by lynching James and winning.
- Both James and Holt are town -> This would mean mafia would have to be Gajeel and 1 more between Baka, Brandish and Tatsu.
- Both are mafia -> The Gajeel thing is a sidestep, either he dies town and we lynch Holt next and they hope this confirms James enough for him to win, or he dies something useless like Traitor/Mentee and we are set back a lynch.
Atm it‘s still best to lynch Gajeel, purely objectively. He‘s been uncooperative, speaking in riddles, he‘s some way of compromised player, either fully or partially. Depending on what he flips and what happens at night as we have different options:
- Flips proper mafia, we have 0 or 1 kill next night, or 2 kills of me and my hiding target -> Holt probably town, last one James most likely.
- Flips proper mafia, we have 2 kills next night without something like me and my hiding target being sniped together -> confirms 2 killing parties. Gotta discuss properly who is the scum in this case, too many variables to list now. But only me and Shad are confirmed fully.
- Flips half-scum(Traitor), we have 0 or 1 kill next night, or 2 kills of me and my hiding target -> 1 killing party confirmed, and mafia Holt left Gajeel out to dry. So I‘d lynch Holt here perhaps, but may need more discussions.
- Flips half-scum(Mentee/Traitor), we have 2 kills next night without something like me and my hiding target being sniped together -> confirms 2 killing parties. Most likely remaining scum is Holt on mafia team and Tatsu on TP team, with James being real Det.
To summarize, any option where Holt is scum is where James is real Det with Holt and Tatsu scums. Depends all what Gajeel flips as. Number of deaths will help determine how many killing parties there are.
Otherwise, town Holt should put James as scum, perhaps.
Brandish should be town due to GB being blocked. Baka sounds very town but when in doubt don‘t forget about her. Tatsu should be town with how mafias wanted her lynched, unless ofc the night deaths confirm there‘s 2 killing groups Tatsu shoots through the roof as an option.
TP would actually be super smart to not kill until all mafia are gone and then resume killing to pretend there was only 1 killer team all along.
@Tatsumaki try your best to prevent a kill with your remaining spice? Idk how exactly you messed up, oversleep or so, but just click the head.
