Hmm.
I find it quite hilarious that for both nights so far, two families target the same person. And by hilarious, I mean an immense stroke of good luck for us. This tells me that the Mafia families aren't thinking what moves the other families will make. Or they are, and are doing a terrible job. With a bit of a nudge, I feel that we can manipulate who the Mafia kill.
Why do I say this, you ask? Well, let's look at what we have so far. Night 1: Red and Brendan die, two powerful players. Night 2: DS and RMA, again, two experienced players, but without the same aura of intimidation as Red and Brendan. On Night 1, two families aimed for Red, while last night, two went for DS. And now, by making this post, I've made myself even more of a target for them than I usually am. But here's the thing: since I've drawn attention to them not paying attention to each other, each family will either all aim for me, none will go for me by assuming that another one will do it. Or two can kill me. Or one.
After the reading this, the families will likely assess their overall decision-making style. I can assure you that they are now going to think very hard on who to kill during the night. They come up with a few names. But then they remember: Shocari was responsible for Riley's death. So his family opts for me. Remembering that Riley and Jada were a couple, and she died, Jada's family goes for me. The third family, seeing that both won't actually go for me because it's too predictable, votes for someone that isn't me. They have realized that one of them WILL go for me, so there's no need for them to. They decide to make their kill more meaningful, so they choose someone that could be a huge asset to the townsfolk.
This is how the Night will unfold tonight. Now on to my actual post.
RMA's Gadgeteer role being stolen means that the Thief is a total jerk. The Gadgeteer likely has incredible assets to the Townsfolk, and the Thief wants them. In this scenario, I'm going to say that the Thief is Mafia-aligned. The Mafia having the Gadgets now means that they can root out the other families easier(ie, the Telephone). If any Gadgets can kill, they can use those in addition to their Mafia kill. With this, this third family(the one that's completely intact, as one had Riley and the other had Jada) could wipe out the other two families and then keep control over the townsfolk, still killing more than one per night.
Things are grim. I'm a bit suspicious of Dem and Luckii as neither have posted much. I guess I'm still a bit suspicious of Josh too. For all we know, he was on Jada's family and that's why him and Riley were after each other(especially because he wouldn't have known that Riley and Jada were the Couple, especially Coupled with each other).
