    Clarification: Do we learn the role of people who are killed in general? Do we at least learn the identities of those killed by the village?
    I cannot answer that question at this time.

    You know, there seem to be a great many people not taking the situation in our village seriously. Why? Because they are trying to kill us via disease and/or poison! After we take down Aldo, I suggest we vote for Zot and zanmatto. Your lives depend on this!

    It would be extraordinary work if you have managed to find out that both Zot and Zanmatto are both evil so early on.
    Thus, I think that you are evil, because if you are you would know that these guys are perfectly innocent.

    Hmmm... the dashing-through-the-snow puppy might be on to something.

    Last time I checked, puppies couldn't talk.

    If James did turn out to be evil then KrunkMcGrunk and LaOs could both reasonably be trusted as good. Unfortunately thats as far as the incrimination/vindication train goes this early in the game. Right now, the most information would be gleaned by executing Pretentious. If he is a bad guy, the KrunkMcGrunk probably is as well. If not, then we should execute Rakaam next. If they both turn out to be innocent, then Quid and Chamberlain are almost certainly bad guys.

    Wait, if I'm evil then why is KrunkMcGrunk evil? I mean, he voted for me Night 1 (which is used as a tactic to distance themselves from their fellow evils) but that's hardly proof. Especially seeing as it's not like my bandwagon is set in stone, so him voting for me just makes it more likely that others will vote for me (based on typical villager logic, which is that if enough other people are willing to vote for X, there must be some good reason why). It's not like it's a late "oh he's going to die might as well distance myself" vote.

    Unless of course he thought someone would think this....

    I've always been under the impression that activity in of itself indicated that you are good, as most evils will want to stay out of the witch hunting and bandwagoning that occurs in most phallas. Then again we can't figure out the truly suspicious people without a few days of villagers going around and killing eachother. Hopefully by the time we figure all of this out the cultists wont have inevitability, as 2 deaths per turn by itself seems pretty harsh before you count in the possibility of the village/the arsonists completely misfiring for three days straight.
    Then again, I might be overthinking this entirely.

    LaOs is DEFINITELY NOT in league with James

    KrunkMcGrunk is PROBABLY a bad guy if Pretentious is bad

    Irenedadler is DEFINTELY NOT in league with Pretentious

    IF both Pretentious and Rakaam are INNOCENT then Quid COULD BE a bad guy with Chamberlain

    KrunkMcGrunk is DEFINETELY NOT in league with James

    I don't know if you're overthinking, but generally I find activity with respect to consistency over the history of Phalla participation to be much more important than activity on its own.

    If Zot is always a posty bitch, him being a posty bitch this time around doesn't really prove anything. This is even more true if he's been a posty bitch whether a goodie, baddie, neutral or dead (ha!). I think looking to the people who are not acting as they normally do as suspicious (however, I temper this with the warning that today was a half-day start added to the front of the real Day 1, so some people need time to realise the game is going and to get their gears going).

    Now, I may not know anything about her/him/it

    But I do know this:

    Why would a Wookie, an 8 foot tall Wookie, be living on Endor with a bunch of 2 foot tall Ewoks? This does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, then Lady Eri must be evil! The defense rests.

    although not completely answering what I was asking.

    I got that you think some people are tied to other people, but I was wondering at the how you came to those conclusions. I've got a wide-open PM box if you don't want to be too public with your methods. Takes some trust on your part, so I would understand if you don't go for it.
