Post 50: Self-incriminating joke. "I am the Godfather." He does stuff like this when he's guilty, too.
Post 113: Poses innocent-sounding question. "What does Chief of Police get to do anyway?" He's a mafia veteran and he should know this (I think... could be wrong)
Post 115: "Why is the town getting rid of my vote? Ah hell, voting is useless anyway, and I can be courteous without it. Elect: Reenk Roink"
Eager to survive to the endgame and he does usually abstain anyway.
Post 126: "I will defriend you if you don't vote for me Beefy."
Sounds like a joke, but he seriously seems to want the job.
Post 151: "Hmm, I was thinking of actually campaigning for this job (I would give most excellent Wanax writeups), but if shlin wants it, he may have it. Elect: shlin28 I request my followers to do the same and thank the ones with good intentions (think it is 9-7 shlin now)."
Changes his mind very late. Perhaps the high chance of being lynched eventually as Police Chief convinced you to abandon the strategy... or perhaps it was your mafia brethren demanding you keep your voting power.
Nothing Page 3. People murdered are Mafia Veterans.
246: "One of the reasons I gave up my claims to becoming the Po was to continue this noble tradition of abstaining, courteously"
Explains himself without being prompted to. Guilty much, Reenk?
300: Corrects flaw in tally but does not add to the discussion, he's usually talkative. He was watching the thread and not posting.
Nothing else Page 4. (at 80 posts per page on my system)
386: "Vote: Seamus Fermanagh. He is probably Mafia and tried to implicate me. I am absolutely not Mafia."
Now I trust Seamus Fermanagh too. Half-hearted, half-joking defense likely to not be detected as scummy. "He is probably Mafia"? explain how, Reenk.
388: "I put you in power and will remove you if need be."
Joke post, half-threatening, but not really. He's prompting the CoP to be more active. Well, Reenk, why don't YOU be more active, too? Saving your verbosity for the endgame?
395: "Sorry but I simply cannot allow Beefy to die this early yet again. He has been knocked off these games too early too frequently. I myself know the frustration when you join a bunch of Mafia games and are either voted off or killed early. To actually clear Beefy, here is an argument (so people can't say I'm not being helpful): The analysis on the writing styles is admirable but also, I feel it is far too exaggerated. Does anyone really believe that the guy who lifted the writeup from another game did research on all the games? He probably remembered a kill he liked and went with it. Yes there are people who would analyze kills and the game in general like that, but they are few, and the lazy are many. It is also easier than some people are saying to change writing styles. Look at the kill writeups of Reenk Roink in Mafia V against the kill writeups of Reenk Roink in Rise of the Mob. Both games interlapped by the way. You can find small changes (differing places of quotation marks, more sober punctuation use in one) as well as larger thematic changes (European vs American flavor, elaborate kills vs quick punchline kills). Look at Beefy's recent Fillet Royale game. Look how inconsistent the Watcher's letters are. All planned really.
Unvote: Seamus Fermanagh
Vote: Sasaki Kojiro
Sorry Sasaki but you will play the game if you are dead anyway. Save Beefy!"
Unnecessary defense of Beefy, votes for Sasaki. His post, carefully read, seems to be an attempt to mislead us. Unvotes Seamus.. unvoting behavior always piques my interest. He sees a chance to off Sasaki and he is THIRD ON THE BANDWAGON ON SASAKI, with no pressure on him. Safest and most scummy move in the entire mafia universe.
Tally as of post #390
187Beefyz = 2 (Seamus, Tincow)
Sasaki = 2 (GSC, YLC)
Abstain = 1 (White Eyes)
Nothing else page 5.
Post 411: "Ok, let's try to get a whole rollback of votes now, off both Sasaki and Beefy..."
Inconsistent play. Reactionary play. Unhelpful play.
416: "Trust me, it's different with Beefy, he really is one of the few "selfless townies".
Defending Beefy, but he cannot know Beefy is innocent. Scummy.
Nothing else page 6, and that's a lot of posts of silence after Tratorix questioned him thusly:

534: I believe this post reveals too much:
Boudica @Everyone: "Who would you pick to be your soldiers if you were Godfather?"
Reenk Roink:
"Seamus would be one and I won't tell you the second (it would be off a list of potential suitors). Ah heck I'll tell ya! I was going for Seamus and Beefy had I gotten to be the Godfather. Seamus would be the first choice because of old timessakes. Practical reasons in his favor would be that he's one of the best at keeping his behavior and he always seems to be innocent looking and live long. Beefy because I still must work with this extremely nice and funny guy. You can't win was so incomplete. Practical reason is that Beefy is amazing as Mafia as you have all seen. I also considered an elite veteran Seamus - Sigurd tandem but Sigurd has won far far too much so I know he understands that I would share the wealth. I also considered Aries and White eyes for spots. Unfortunately they tend to get lynched through no fault of their own, but are very funny guys and I know for a fact White eyes is really good (Aries probably is too). And the most important thing is that they play the game like I like to play. I also considered YLC who I never got to play a game with as Mafia, but talked with him a lot when he hosted Whispers. Plus even though suspicion is on him, he always stays alive."
An awful lot of thought on this topic, eh, Reenk? And who would you suggest you'd pick "if you were mafia", if you WERE mafia? How about innocent people in this game. Did I nail it? Please tell me I did. Seamus, Beefy, Sigurd, Ares, White Eyes, and YLC are all probably innocent if Beefy is guilty.
Post 544: Reenk is DEAD CENTER in the post count list. The perfect mafia hiding place if you're avoiding the bottom and CANNOT pass as a lurker. And by my count, he's quieter than usual.
Reenk had one post on page 7. Page 8:
614: "And my favorite kill lives on... Good job Mafia, good job. Vote: Sigurd"
Votes Sigurd... and he reminisces about previous mafia games and gives them a pat on the back. Scummy, scummy, scummy in my book. Ironic in retrospect if he were mafia = Bonus points when Reenk wins. He thinks just like I do in that regard.
So long and thanks for all the cluez.
632: "Hello Sigurd. I assure you I care not for the town's bandwagon. Of course I know too well that the charge of lurking is much too early. Also I don't believe it fits. Also, I don't believe you to be one who will use the same tactics. However, I am not the Mafia Sigurd. I may be crazy but I'm not careless with my life. Besides, the Godfather would obviously choose the better man."
LOL! Your slip is showing, Reenk. Defensive after being so quiet. I don't think so... you're yourself in this game. The same yourself as Prometheus, my mafia buddy. The "better man" is you... you won Fillet Royale. You won Prometheus. You're a dangerous character. Don't sell yourself short, because that Reenks of scum.
Only two posts page 8... one scummy vote, one scummy defense.
Nothing page 9. Hasn't spoken to me all game. Are you avoiding me, Reenk? You never have before. You talk more. You joke more. You think your votes through more. You try harder. You're not yourself. Bad performance from you as a townie, IMO.
