Do we think that any of Nero's teammates would have jumped on him early without provacation?
Looking through some people that voted sig, I'm finding DFaraday fishy.

How likely are you to vote for me again tomorrow at this point in time?
Hypothetically if you don't vote for me, who would your vote go to right now?
1. Moderately unlikely. I don't agree with your stance, and it still feels unhelpful to the town, but I was in a hurry and slightly pinged by it. If any stronger suspicions arise I'll be voting for them instead.
2.
Maybe Nerolunar, since his recent posts sounded like he was trying to encourage suspicion on SVS for missing the vote.
This is the first time he mentions Nero, bringing him up as a suspect early on when he hadn't much of any heat. This is the one thing that goes in DFaraday's favor. Why mention Nero, out of all the people her could have named as a potential suspect?

Almost nobody joined me, but I can´t see how that would have benefitted me at all if I was the Riddler, maybe except the possibility that you guys would have thought that I was not the Riddler.
I think it is a vague read for "Top priority lynch".
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Well
Well who?
Well, I don't even believe you to be the Riddler anymore based on Enrique's insane magical case where I am "bad because I targeted the Joker but you're not worth looking at despite saying I think we should lynch you", I believe you to be mafia, on Enrique's team.
Enrique did say it's possible Nero is the Joker. And if you were lynched and came back as a role with a night targeting ability, that would certainly lend credence to the Nero-as-Joker theory.
I do think the numbers heavily suggest that Matt is not a civ, especially since nobody seems to be silenced, meaning Montoya is an unlikely explanation.
This is where DFaraday seems like he might be defending a bit.
Nero complains that he isn't the Riddler. Matt comes in and calls out Nero to be mafia. Then DFaraday swoops in and brings up Enrique's theory that Nero might be the joker BUT BUT BUT then does a good job of waving the carrot on a stick back over to Matt during Day 2, suggesting Matt isn't town, and should be lynched to see if Nero is really the joker.
Ignoring Matt's claim that Nero is mafia instead of the Joker/Riddler.

Not that easy, since we're still debating whether that's even how the role works, and if that is what happened and Nero is the Joker, he's not as much of a prime lynch target right now as you would suggest.
As far as I can tell, these are the most plausible solutions based on what we know of roles and game mechanics:
1. Matt is a baddie/Inmate and targeted the Joker, getting cursed as a result.
2. Matt is Harvey Bullock or Batman and tracked the Joker, getting cursed as a result.
3. Matt is Harvey Bullock and tracked Nero, finding Nero to be a baddie/Inmate, but was then cursed by some other role.
As it stands, I find option number 1 the most likely statistically, but I'd be open to exploring number 3.
Matt: Why do you suspect Nero?
DFaraday keeps with this Joker theory, offering scenarios that Matt could be using to find Nero bad, but settling on the "statistics" that Matt is probably Bad.
"Matt: Why do you suspect Nero?" Is the grandstanding question he uses to size Matt up. I think this could be because DFaraday knew Nero was bad, and wanted to figure out how Matt knew.

I don't see how anything Nerolunar has done tops this, especially since we are unfamiliar with his meta.
I do have a bit of suspicion of Nero, but it seems like a lot of people are just jumping on him because it's convenient, which is seeming shady to me. If anything, Sig's recent comments are making me feel worse about him (I had no real opinion of him before).
DFaraday uses zebra's defense of Nero as a springboard. He says he's sorta suspicious of Nero, but puts the blame on the bandwagoners and the "convenience" of his vote. Throwing them under the bus even before the result of Nero's alignment. To further distance, he comes out of nowhere with a 'sig's comments make me feel like he's bad'.

Or are you just coming in, looking at the poll, reading someone's posts who has the most votes (and not the discussion about them), and deciding based on that?
And so you haven't seen me accuse you of making a really odd post that I really don't see how it could have come from an honest place.
Why Nero? Is that what your teammates told you to do?
That said, I'm voting Nero, as well.
What you're talking about here is literally what you just did.
No, it's not. I've mentioned my suspicions before, and have been considering a Nero vote since yesterday.
I have been reading the thread.
I don't think I've ignored anyone who has mentioned me.
So, I haven't actually done any of the things that I've described Bubbles doing.
Looking back over your posts, the only thing you said about Nero was that he might be the Joker, since Matt was hinting at that. Except Matt has denied claiming Nero as the Joker, and you haven't cited any reasons since for still suspecting Nero.
*Voting sig*, since I think he looks worse right now, but LoRab isn't making me feel too good at this point.
He gets on LoRab's case for only claiming Matt is the Joker. Which is calling the kettle black, because that's ALL DFaraday has done concerning Nero.
"Matt has denied claiming Nero as the Joker" -oh, so now he's giving credence to Matt's suggestions?
"you haven't cited any reasons since for still suspecting Nero" -defending again.
He finally settles on sig, but not before feeling suspicious of LoRab, for doing exactly what he was doing.
Nero's team wanted sig dead.
I dunno guys, I don't think DFaraday is looking good from my standpoint.
