I don't understand. How does that mean --- is not the mafia? I find things hard to get sometimes only to realise later.
The way I see it, the 2 similar role thing makes sense like holder just explained, meaning holder is town and --- is Mafia as the counterpart to me.
Your link about the mafia being players who haven't been playing last game makes sense too making Holder the mafia, but the flaw is that Golden didnt play last time either. Thus making my one observation point after swamp died that Swamp and Red were chosen as mafia by Opo because they were the hosts...but this truth does not help us now.
If there is one mafia I'm leaning towards ---.
If the recruitment is true, we can worry about that new mafia member during the night for simplicities sake. If we are wrong and we lynch the recruited now we still make progress and the recruiter/strongman is still out there but he can't recruit anymore.
If so Holder needs to either roleblock whoever it is incase they are not immune to blocks anymore or protect me, so maybe there's a chance I save someone either Pokechu or praline. If that's the plan then if I die that means holder is mafia. If holder kills the one I did not protect instead we can't prove holder is mafia.
I think we should lynch --- and hope we are right and there is no second mafia.
But want to hear --- and pralines thoughts. I think praline is town. Then again if no strongman that means they are the alternative mafia but like I said we can worry about anyone else later....so take anything I said about potential actions as a note for later...
So for this day I assume Praline is town. (?)
Man, this is so hard to think over
