I don't think Beskar is a good lynch for this round. Maybe next round.
I attempted, rather fruitlessly, to get you guys to look at some of these lurkers, Caius for example. However, he might be WOGbait. If he's a townie he needs to get back here and get to work.
I only ever really knew what my own alignment was: basic townie. Everything I've done all game was based on that. If I had a role, I'd never have risked my own neck for Beskar as I have. He's got a lot less gratitude (after the fact) when I absolutely had to make town aware of where my information came from, but were it not for me, he still would have died right around round 2 or 3 or whatever it was when I was asking people for favors to vote for split instead of him. Were it not for me he never would have "investigated" Ichigo. So my conscience is clean, this whole guilt trip thing isn't going to work, Beskar.
I made the decision to reveal to AVSM because I didn't want to be played. About this round, and rightfully so, townies (such as DJGingivitis) have pressured me privately to be fully honest with them "or it would be my head". I started off this round encouraging Beskar to reveal, because there were many problems with his story.
1. Most of the townies weren't aware of the whole truth, thus making this a very bad thing if he is scum.
2. Either myself or Beskar should have died last night. Especially if we had really nailed Ichigo.
3. Reenk was investigated, and he's dead. Ichigo was investigated twice, and he's dead. Chaotix was investigated last round, and lo and behold, he's dead. That last one was the kicker... we weren't making any progress creating a townie network because everyone in it ends up dead. That's either an unfortunate coincidence or Beskar did not want to start crossing off suspects.
4. 2 kills, still. I understand this is a Khaan game, but that's not points in his favor. Neither was the writeup which didn't really condemn Ichigo.
5. After some gentle prodding, Beskar refused to reveal and he kept coming up with reasons to delay it. That didn't give me any more confidence in what he was doing.
Even after all this, I was willing to be lynched this round or to lynch one of the lurkers, give him more time. That doesn't appear to be the popular choice. If Beskar is the detective, this is definitely the wrong move. However, if he's scum and he falsely accused Ichi, it is his time to die. After getting done arguing this and suggesting we put off his lynch and basically play "chicken" with the mafia over his life, he gets all mad and suggests I'm a scumbag. That was too much for me... if he is a pro-town he should have shown a little more restraint. It's his own investigation which says I wasn't killing anyone that round, and that's not a likely choice for pizzaguy as scum. I would have had to have prior knowledge that the investigations were activity-based. He can get mad at me all he wants for not fully trusting his judgment but trying to get me lynched does not add up.

Bah, lynch me. I really don't care. A bit "late" to throw around random accusation votes? Since when? I thought the game wasn't over yet. If I don't believe Beskar is scum, just... easily angered, then the choice of him or me this round doesn't appeal to me for obvious reasons. And some players, such as yourself, have gotten through this whole game with little or no suspicion or votes on yourself. I am offering additional options. I know this much,
if Beskar is innocent then a nice random lynch might be just the ticket to find the other killer. If he's guilty, one more round of being alive makes no difference. I want you guys to seriously consider that, even if he is annoying me at the moment.
