RIP Juliets, sorry to see you go.
I started doing re-reads last night (I mean, what else?), based on stats and posts (voting pattern and interaction with confirmed mafia members) until I almost fell asleep with the laptop on my uhm, lap. Now I need to figure if I should do that all the way through or focus on Elo and several others, seeing already how we're going a bit more fast-forward on this Day. Busy with something until early afternoon, but I'll be back afterwards.
Here's a taste of I what plan(ned?) to do:
Bass
Vote D1: 1st vote for Scotty (scoreline Ninja 2 - Scot/G-Man/Sloonei 1),
consistent with Scotty being a suspect for him (alongside G-Man and Sloonei),
but also being spooked by Scotty's odd vote
Vote D2: 2nd vote for MM (Golden at 4), baseless, "I've got no one better from the poll" reasoning format
Vote D3: no vote
Vote D4[TB]: no activity and no vote
Interaction with Mafia confirmed members:
Sloonei: questions Sloonei's methods of debates, has a gut feeling about him being bad
espers: nothing
The Good:
-- his primary, great read and pressuring of Sloonei, influencing the way the actual hunt on Sloonei unfolded; makes me strongly doubt Bass would have created the premises for a teammate falling
-- not wagoning blindly on Golden
The Not-So-Good:
Switch vote for Scotty (despite fully reasoned), given Sloonei lynch was getting hot
Dipping form into absenteeism, including shit vote on MM, no more consistent gameplay
No interaction with espers
[TinyBubbles: yet to get into the game]
The Question mark: Very high up LC's baddie list. LC is since dead.
Read: Intrigued. I was willing to finish my read of Bass as civ-ish up to the point when he got replaced, his gut read on Sloonei weighing the most - again, bussing
before any strong reason to buss sounds unnatural of a mafia team tactic (except if you have Epig as a teammate, I s'pose
); civ Bass usually has "sehr gut" gut reads. But in light of espers' flip, he doesn't have a clean slate. Granted, I would find it completely lolsworthy if
both remaining Mafia players slacked off so much and asked to be replaced - I've never seen that before. Nevertheless, TinyBubbles really has to prove to us she's to be trusted and participate from now on. I don't think I would stamp my D5 vote on Bass/TB at this moment, but since he's/she's not clean, he's/she's to be kept in mind, if a couple of mislynches will occur with the hotter suspects.

Day 1: no vote (would have voted Elo)
Day 2: 3rd vote for Golden (for his bad D1 vote; worst looking in context of four-player poll), pushing him to 3-1 vs MM
Day 3: 2nd vote for DH (remember she considered him suspicious, based from
DDL's case context), pushing him to 2-1 vs espers
Day 4: 2nd vote for ika (because of espers' D1 vote, but also says she'll explain
her vote better at a later time)
Interactions with confirmed Mafia
Sloonei: one direct but fluff interaction (appreciating Sloonei's kind profile on her), suspicious of Elo flip-flopping on Sloonei gut read, concludes D1 saying she never found Sloonei suspicious, her post-Sloonei lynch lead was Golden (a civ)
espers: nothing until D2, except a nod to llama's read on him after D1.
Suspects him starting D3
The Good:
-- *please insert Good*
-- on a purely statistical level, her vote for espers, I s'pose
The Bad:
-- she picked Llama's train of thought about Golden and espers looking bad after D1 voting, but only focused on Golden afterwards; nothing on espers, instead, during D2 (granted, the four-player poll might have also influenced this)
-- switching to DH vote instead of espers on D3
Question mark: her post with Sloonei. Either outrageously unwise open buddying with mafia teammate or genuine fluff/or Sloonei trying to paint her bad, for future reads.
Read: Sucky game. Either a very unfortunate player who received a civ role, but is dropping the pancakes on the floor at every attempt to flip them, or a mafia who played the slowpoke card with us this whole time. I'm not sure what's stopping me from believing she is the last Mafia, but it almost has to do with how surreal of a weak-ass trio she would make with Sloonei and espers this game, involving the whole range of sins: buddying in the open with Sloonei, having zero reads on him yet picking other players who do, omitting espers suspicions for a while, then distancing from him. Her D4 vote looks mildly satisfying and her two-day suss of espers mildly consistent, but it could well have been "practiced" within the team, since espers was definitely under heat already.

As you can see, this kind of list-making doesn't help narrow things down much, given that we have
one more Mafia to catch, plus Moloch.
