If anyone else had done that, it would have been a giant flashing bulb over your head saying MAFIOSO. I just chalked it up to inexperience, and assumed you were just trying to discredit him by lying, a more advanced tactic than you were adopting in the early stages. I assumed it was just you getting more comfortable with how the game works.
    Because I was trying to discredit him. And since he couldn't post his PM while dead, he couldn't prove me wrong. In hind-sight, I probably should have let it go but things were happening very fast at that point.

    Part of my problem was the dichotomy between PK showing up as "out" on the investigation results and it also showing him as a "boring townie." Not knowing that Manfredo could defeat investigations, I assumed one of the two parts was artistic license, it was just a question of which one. Boring townie seemed very specific to me, so I mentally discarded the "out" as non-informative description.
    Look at the investigations again.

    Night 1:
    TinCow is innocent. However, you found a book in his room, Mario Puzzo's "The Godfather". You also found his diary. Seems like TinCow has been dreaming of joining a mafia family.

    Husar wasn't at home that night. You found some objects suggesting an interesting sex life. Husar is innocent.

    Night 2:
    GeneralHankerchief and pevergreen are both innocent.

    Night 3:
    Privateerkev wasn't in his room when you investigated it. You found his belongings. Nothing out of the ordinary. Privateerkev seems to be a boring townie.

    Proletariat was in her room. There was a massive crowd gathered in front of her door, so you went outside and looked through the window. It was... interesting. Two hot women, one dressed like a businesswoman wearing glasses, the other one wearing lingerie, both playing with dolls and giggling like little girls...

    Other then that, you didn't see something out of the ordinary in Proletariat's room. She also seems to be a boring townie.
    Notice that GH and Pever are listed as "innocent". Also, Husar is "innocent" even though he is out.

    Now look at mine and Prole's. We "seem to be a boring townie". My role gives this result whenever I was out doing something. Prole gave this result because she was being blocked by the Prostitute. Remember, the Prostitute makes investigations fail.

    This was Andres's way of giving a hint to anyone who investigated Manfredo.

    You've set yourself a very high bar on the post count. After Capo II I realized that as a newbie I had a shot at defeating Holmes be intentionally posting in a consistent manner in every single mafia game I play. Most people don't have that option, because they had been in mafia games before Holmes was invented. I've done my best to post at the same frequency, length, and with the same type of analysis that I did in Capo II and I will keep doing that. Your post count in this thread was double anyone else's, though. So if you want to try a similar thing, you're doomed to be typing until your fingers fall off.
    I am confident that I can find it within myself to type a lot.
