Marshy, I agree with you on that likely being the right lynch pool. One thing I do find odd, however, is that Yaya is still alive. Knowing mafia has a role block, it would have been simple to go after him. I am seriously thinking that something happened and Hando may no longer be town aligned. There are a few reasons for this thought(and no, I'm not suggesting his lynch, these are just some thoughts I've had)
1. As I said, Yaya is still alive. The mafia has known Handorin was doc since d2 began after his death. This does not mean much I guess, but it is also possible Handorin got hit by some form of conversion ability and is keeping Yaya alive to appear to still be doc.
2. Do we have any other crucio claims from last night? If Handorin was town I see no reason for him to lie about being hit with it, but on the same token, I also have no reason to lie about it any more. Why would there be two roleblocks n2? The only way I could think of that doesn't involve Handorin being converted would be if the ability hadn't been able to affect me, and they were given a second choice. But it did, and it wouldn't make sense for them to get a second choice if their first target was unaffected.
3. If mafia DID have a conversion power(or as I'll get into next, perhaps cult), Hando would be a prime target after being mod-confirmed townie.
Now, mafia with a conversion role that doesn't involve the death of one of them seems very overpowered. This led me to think of a second possibility. What if there's a cult? Admittedly they've gotten lucky so far if that's the case in not having a death revealing them, but that seems a relatively reasonable possibility. Let me say why I think this.
Looking at the numbers, and assuming recruitment each night, the cult would now have four members. I was suspicious due to my name claim so when I claimed roleblocked and Hando, an all but confirmed townie countered, it almost guaranteed a lynch on me, a non cult member. If there had been a successful lynch yesterday, there would be 8 people left right now, and cult would have won at that point barring one getting killed at night.
Now, it is by no means the truth, and I find it somewhat of a stretch, but on the other hand Handorin had no reason to lie about being roleblocked if he is still town, and I can't see a mafia conversion role that doesn't involve the death of a mafia. Like I said, I'm not encouraging a lynch here based on this necessarily, but if we do have a cult, it's game over if we don't hit the leader today, so it's something we should consider today.
