    I honestly don't see how this is not a well defined explication of a possible explanation of GH's murder. It may not be convincing (you might say he was framed to make it seem like the above was done, which I also agree is a good explanation or the explanation of a double frame).

    The question becomes how do we lend preference to these explanations. Many would point to Occams Razor, which I won't.

    However, I will give preference to that explanation due to the pressure that was clearly on Beskar at that time, and while it may be looking at things in retrospect, the choice of killing GH was amazingly beneficial to Beskar this past round.

    Is there a similar reason to prefer the WIFOM frame explanation?

    It's what I would do, therefore it's what occurred to me first. I understand it's a personal perception thing, which is why I think this is just something we disagree on.

    As being in the know (the know that I am not the Mafia and that I didn't kill GH), my retrospect is completely different to yours. You are accusing it of being "Amazing Beneficial to Beskar", I will tell you now, it was "Amazing Detrimental to Beskar". If let's say, AskthePizzaGuy was lynched, as he is apparently my 'scumbuddy' his death and proven innocence would have vindicated me. So if I was the Mafia, killing Pizza would have been top-priority. If lets say, Caius was lynched (no connections with him claimed), I still would have had a far better chance of survival, as your argument would have still been "Beskar is scummy as he accused me" opposed to actually giving you any weight.

    The situation was actually perfect for the Mafia, the Mafia knew by lynching some-one like GeneralHankerchief, that you would accuse me, that I would know I was framed, and possibly accuse you, while they are sniggling to themselves, completely out of harms way.
