Mafia VIII: Return of the Recommencement of the Revenge of the Mafia [Concluded]

NNVTHMST-???

Firstly I think pever is likely a townie, not a mafioso, because his reveal seems to be a modified townie PM. Thus I think TinCow voting him saying he is mafia is very suspicious after he just voted Kagemusha on pever's behalf. In fact, I would FoS: TinCow for that. He certainly knows better than this and he is likely Mafia.

Now, as to the twist/hint

NNVTHMST-???

This is getting us somewhere. Is no one else working on this???
I would however emphasize (to prevent mafiosi tinkering with it) that we should post the whole sentence where the letter was missing.
I also think Ichigo is innocent as a result.

As for my analysis:

The birds had returned since the unexpected disturbance of their morning routine yesterday, although they were not singing, as if wary that there would be a similiar breaking of the silence today.

Extra letter, not missing. Still, maybe useful

Andre, out of breath, stopped automatically to wave back and chat with the man. "Excellent morning for running, I do say," he said aimiably.

Missing the S in Andres and having an extra i in amiably.

Craterus, deep in the Frontroom marshes, watched the ducks fly away with his high-powered binoculrs.

Missing the a in binoculars

"Downtown," he muttered, pocketing his bioculars and getting into his old blue car.

Missing the n in binoculars

From what he gathered, it had to be there, consdering that the birds were flying in all directions away from that area and that he had heard the shot from his house, meaning that it was probably fired on a roof where there wasn't much to block the sound from going far.

Missing the i in considering

"Didd't adyone eber tell you dat the victibs are suppode to go quiedly?"

This one is a far cry, but useful to keep in mind for future reference.

So the confirmed missing letters so far: S A N I
->Sanity?

[edit]
Also worth considering:
S N from the fedora type
A I from the other guy

People with S and N in their name:
woad&fangs
shlin28
Sigurd Fafnesbane
Gaius Scribonius Curio
|Sith|R|AntiWarmanCake88
Seamus Fermanagh
Joe Monks

People with A and I in their name:

makaikhaan
Sasaki Kojiro
Caius
Gaius Scribonius Curio
Mithrandir
Tiberius of the Drake
KukriKhan

Crazed Rabbit

The problem of course is that we don't know if the letters are supposed to be a name or a code. I suppose the next nights will tell more.
Also note that there was 1 letter missing per night phase kill.

I suspect you've mixed up someone else's post with one of mine. I haven't voted for pever, I've been defending him.

Er... Unvote: Ichigo.
Vote: Kagemusha

Pending a response from Kage.

You think pever is a townie? Why would he make up a fake detective PM if he was a townie? Detective, yes. Mafioso, yes. Townie, no.

Anyway, your mention of the letters early on is somewhat redeeming which is why I didn't vote you outright.

And now for something completely different:

Vote: Beefy

This might have been said before but...

Can mafia kill two players if they are down to one players?
Sorry if this has been said. I got no time to go through all post just yet..

Blatant WIFOM.

Im just checking. Am I not allowed to check anymore? My parents always told me to check even its the most obvious thing.. Besides if I was a mafia I wouldnt even have to ask that...

Blatant WIFOM.

Vote: Pever

Thats for creating WIFOM situation

Third on a bandwagon.

Tally:

peverpink = 6 (Ichigo, Sarathos, Beefy187, Joe Monks, woad&fangs, CountArach)

Kagemusha = 3 (peverpink, TinCow, Sigurd)

discovery1: 2 (Caius, Gaius Scribonius Curio)
Tiberius of the Drake: 1 (makaikhaan)
Crazed Rabbit: 1 (Tiberius of the Drake)
Mithrandir = 1 (Kukrikhan)
Sasaki: 1 (Discovery1)
makaikhaan: 1 (RoadKill)
Seamus Fermanagh: 1 (Sasaki)
Beefy187: 1 (Rythmic)

Let's look at pever's posts in conjunction with his supposed night activites.

N1: He supposedly investigates Sasaki and finds him innocent at the beginning of D1

Then he posts this:

1, 2, 3

(post 3 is interesting. It was in response to Ichigo's post about the Sasaki bandwagon. If pever found Sasaki to be innocent, why encourage a baseless bandwagon on him?)

After that was this:

4

Then we went into N2 where he supposedly investigated Andres and found him to be innocent.

During N2:

5

During D2:

6

Then he does not post in the thread at all for over 2 days. Keep in mind that he has now supposedly investigated Kag and found him to be mafia.

Then, early on today, he makes this post out of the blue:

7

He makes a vote on discovery while supposedly knowing for sure that Kag is mafia. And then he goes all WIFOMish. If he was really the detective, he would have placed a well reasoned vote on Kag and would not have WIFOM'd in such a blatant manner.

Then when caught in the WIFOM, he posts this:

8

Now he is in hot water, he votes for Kag.

9

Here he posts his "reveal". It seems like a blatant ripoff of the townie PM. Plus he never posts his night action PM's.

then finally:

10

Here he still tries to keep suspicion on Kag.

At this point, I say keep an eye on Kag but I would guess that he is innocent. Pever had ample opportunity to vote for Kag but didn't until he saw he was about to get bandwagoned. My guess is that Pever is not the detective. I don't think he is mafia either. He seems far too careless. But he is being a very bad townie and seems like a good lynch for today.

I don't get the how the missing letters work... can anyone explain it to me?

Withholding vote until later.
