    So the killers were bold enough to kill the Pevers, most of whom were in the spotlight, and would probably be lynched and killed off soon.

    The killers can't be newbies, I just don't think they would kill people who are must likely to get the attention and help other people to hide themselves.

    However, killing off the pevers gives the town little to analyze. It was a sound strategy by the mafioso.
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely

    True, but my thoughts is that most of them were threatened to be WoGed and lynched, so killing them seemed a waste of kills for the mafia team.

    Also both Geishas are killed now, it appears both are killed by samurai and not ninja. It also seems odd and unlikely that two of the same powered role were killed off so early, maybe the traitor can investigate? Or maybe it's someone that Greg had interracted with outside the thread.

    Considering that there are supposed to be two samurai but there has been only one samurai kill each night, I think it is very likely that one or both of the samurai can investigate.

    Olavi may have been one of them...the beginning of his kill sounds a lot like the beginning of Gregoshi's (returning from some night action).

    We have "hour of the rat" and "hour of the ox" and rabbit as well though it's not clear what these mean.

    My take is :

    Ninjas kill during midnight - Rat hour, traitors kill before dawn but after midnight - so if a traitor is killed during midnight, he wont get a chance to do his night action?

    My reasoning will follow when I put it all together. I'm pretty damn sure about this one though.

    I don't have time for a full kill analysis at the moment, but one thing does jump out at me: three of the deaths were pevers. I have a hunch that if two killers overlapped on a kill, we would see them both in the write-up; thus I assume there were no overlaps. The odds of multiple mafia groups deciding independently to attack the pevers and then not overlapping on any kills seem low. Since the ninjas get 3 kills per night, this indicates to me that all three of the pever killers were ninjas. This may help properly sort the kills from the previous nights into the correct categories.

    Oh really? It's good that you noticed.
    I'd find it quite fitting that you first complained about the pevers, then killed them, perhaps you even coordinated it somehow, then said something intelligent about how there is no overlapping.
    For now I'll

    If he is right about the Quintius name there is high chance of telling the truth, I think.

    Why would you do that?

    If you believe me, both Beskar and you are innocent. To challenge him means that there is a chance you will duel, and we will lose another loyal samurai for no reason.

    Yes... the name claim has given us the possibility of more evidence... if Quintus hadnt claimed a different name we might be unsure about BG's claim even after the lynch writeup...
