Aye, that's how it is people.
Just for reference, two PM's I sent in, this was the round Ituralde was protected.
And this one, the PM I sent to SasakiQuote:

i think we shouldnt protect the Veterans anymore unless we can be sure they are clean - most of them will continue to post if they are killed anyway and theres a good chance at least a few of them are mafia
i will protect Ituralde
as to the graffiti - im not really sure waht we can write that will help the town...

These are but two PM's, which I saved on my hard drive, that back up Moody's claim.Quote:

As Masons we were tasked with protecting (not finding !) the mafia. Each night we'd be able to protect one townie, one by each mason.
We also had the power to spray paint graffiti on the wall, and what to write was entirely up to us. And that was harder than it seemed...
One can imagine that giving the town information, which you don't have, is harder than it seems. What can we possibly give the town which they couldn't get for themselves ? We were not able to confirm anyone but ourselves, and the dead, innocent but we could however try luring the mafia out. By giving them names, and protecting them afterwards - thus stalling their progress.
However, then the mafia 'd have to actually be able to break the codes. So it had to be clear enough to seem meaningless, but interesting enough to try and break. Since I assumed everyone 'd be familiar with Text messaging, I thought I'd go for that.
The second round I encrypted Sir Boo is innocent, and warluster. With the specific order to call the numbers. Few, however, caught on. A lot publicly stated they didn't get enough information. Not knowing we couldn't give them anything they'd possibly want to know, other than who we protected. Plus, the chances were high the posted info would fall into the wrong hands. Also, we didn't want to publicly argue about our seemingly useless info, for fear of seeming to protective.
The next round, some people (Sigurd and Seamus in particular) hinted at having broken the code. This was at the time Sigurd contacted Boo. Congrats Sigurd, you were fast. The fastest as a matter of fact. However, that night Warluster was killed. Sad, since he was a mason, but he died giving us the needed information. Namely that the mafioso had also figured out the code, and would pay more attention to it in later rounds. They did, and it didn't work for them at all. As we thwarted them a couple of times, giving the townies more chances to pull this off.
A few rounds past without any particular disturbing events, Moody and I corresponded, and (amongst other things) decided that if one of us would die - he was especially fearful since Kommodus attacked him - he would reveal and state what we knew, for all to hear.
However, then Seamus started the wagon which would eventually kill me. Sad, since the townies apparently wanted me dead ASAP. I was doomed, and unable to defend myself, in less than an hour. Well played, mafia, well played. Sadder it was, however, that I had successfully been able to lay low, and not attract that much attention to myself. A fact which has helped me numerous times, and at the same time tends to be a perfect excuse to kill me.
Finding the mafia was never our meaning, and thus we couldn't be of any extra help to the town in that regard. A shame, but that's the game.
That said, Seamus has been on my list for quite a while now - he just doesn't seem like himself. A thought which I couldn't quite surpres even after my death. The General only acted in a not-so-normal manner when people started to accuse him, he seemed to love his life more than any other villager previously executed. Which isn't that suspicious per sé, but it didn't quite come out the way I expected it too. Sounds weird, yes, but that's how it seemed to me.
Well, I guess that's it for now. Any questions, which don't require a screenie to answer are welcome..
