Is there any way to tell? i have been looking for subtle clues but the clues seem to be too subtle for my untrained eyes...

for a second i thought Nakashima was a traitor... unfortunately the traitors name is Nakayima...

I'm guessing he was a traitor. An alternate spelling of Nakashima is Nakajima but I couldn't connect "jima" with "yima". It is almost too close to be coincidence. Maybe Beefy(?) can help with the connection if there is one. We may find out this night.

Never heard of Nakayima actually.. When converted to hiragana it becomes なけいま which doesn't come up with a name.

So I did a quick research on google. Got a few japanese names like the name of the Japanese fighter in WWII called Ki-27 Nakayima.

Searched on google for Ki-27 and came up with type 97 fighter "Nakajima"

So as conclusion Nakayima= Nakajima= Nakashima

Or it could be a spelling mistake.

EDIT:　仲井間・・stupid romaji..

I would say its a completely different person

Someone should definitely check up on glyphz. I really get the feeling he's up to something (if you are pro-town my apologies).

If you can conclude that Nakayima = Nakajima, here's the link that puts Nakajima = Nakashima: http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Nakash...e-meaning.ashx

Regarding TinCow and the unnamed Lord, I must correct myself. I was confusing thoughts of the murdered with the thoughts of the condemed. Atpg, Sigurd, schlin and Tosa were at peace and absorbed with little things at the moment of death. TinCow's focus was much different. His thoughts were of service to his lord.

The "and killing" seems extraneous when one is fighting, unless the killing was done while not fighting, i.e., murder. It isn't much but Andres said the hints would be subtle.

Another thing that strikes me as unusual was Louis' killing. He was sweating and very nervous before he was killed. Either he was expecting something or was hiding something that made him very anxious. However, I can't piece together what that means.

Lastly, AVSM's death was odd, almost like he was setup.

Is there a role in mafia that would make someone more vulnerable to attack - like neutralizing a protector or protection ability?

Is there anything here, or am I chasing phantoms?

Don't follow that road. I was a lurking townie, and got killed for it.

Killed as in murdered or killed as in Wrath of God?

So 35 remain alive

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Worst case scenario: we have lynched no mafia, nor duelled any, and mafia can kill up to 6 per night. Somebody please check my arithmetic, but (minus WoG's) we therefore have 2 more day/night cycles before the mafia outnumber townies - assuming their continued success.

Bottom line = we can afford to "blow it" one more time before we must get every lych and duel correct (in killing mafia). We're closer to endGame than some may think.

We've not been given any nightime vigilante capabilities, so our only defense is the lynch and the duel.

This means that every player must be active from now on. Lurking must be severely sanctioned as not only non-productive, but counter-productive.

Lurk = die.

Contribute, or die.

Assuming everyone follows this advice (HA!) we also need the smart help from our dead players. (Thank you Gregoshi

). Astute analysis can help us find the bad guys and pick them off, one by one.
