@Delvro, Afro, Sworddancer/Zim, and /BSL: I think you guys are my town.
I am the FBI Agent, on top of being clearly town.
Afro made an accusation against 3 different people, something that I don't think scum-Afro would do, of either alignment. It simply did not further any possible scum goal. Also, during the confusing time that was my claim, they did not immediately act. They (each in their own way) attempted to learn what they could of the situation. Heck, they both even split on believing whether I was telling the truth, and NOT in a way that would be...unreasonable isn't quite right. Unexpected?
Delvro argued that town would claim mafia when cornered, something that I heartily disagree with, but that I think I understand how he came to the conclusion of (lynching the SK means that we only lose one townie instead of two when the false claimaint is lynched. But these are townie thoughts), and in any case would not have done as scum. Also, Delvro doesn't have any single thing that he can point to that indicates that he is Town. Scum-Delvro would have tried to prepare
something. I also like that he kept his post #16 intact, where we can more or less see his thought process unfold. If he intended to go along with what I said in an effort to buddy up, then why not have his thoughts in their final form? #16-17 both feel natural to me, like he's thinking instead of going by plan. And if he's thinking Anti-SK, then he isn't SK. We'll deal with the potential of him being mafia later (he isn't). #228 is just too genuine.
Speaking of genuine...

I've put up with enough stupid to last a lifetime. Glad it's over.
Kill x1 tomorrow, guys. -___-
Delvro ACTUALLY thought he was dead, and still thought we'd listen to him. That's Town.
Sworddancer is Zim, and we abandoned him because he is unlikely to be the SK at any rate.
Concerning Joey/BSL, we need to think about why BSL left. He was clearly overwhelmed/disheartened/not enjoying the game. But why? If he were scum of either variety, he'd be more or less in the clear; virtually everyone was setting him aside as Town. The game would have been pretty much handed to him on a silver platter. Also, if he were scum, why wasn't he attempting to influence the game with his vote? He was Not Voting through most if not all of the game. Finally, when he actually was reading through the game, he took the time to comment on events that he found interesting. We KNOW that he didn't read ahead and cherry pick them, because he spoke in ignorance when he made some of his comments (such as when he responded to Zim's suggestion that I was contradicting myself). All that indicates Town to me, because BSL isn't good enough at deception to have planned that ahead of time.
In all cases, NOT SK.
Now look at Swiss and X1.
Swiss went along with my Anti-SK No Lynch plan, and then basically disappeared into the background. Until I said in #123, "I could see Swiss as mafia, but don't discount X1 as a possible mafia too". Then, he's SUDDENLY active. It's not too much, but it's a FAR cry from "What does playing dumb mean?" and simply letting me and Zim go at it. That was also when he started his "Afro isn't here" bit, along with "If me or Cello is alive after N2, we're SK". What better way to avoid being Night Killed than by suggesting targets to the SK, especially when his Ultimate Plan was to BE investigated (which would both ensure that he was NOT the Agent, AND that the SK would NOT be investigated)? Then, he calls Zim town. "Because Zim wasn't indie". Completely disregarded him as possible mafia, even after Delvro brought us the fact that Zim's Double No Lynch plan was Pro-Mafia. Why was he so sure, if he didn't KNOW that he wasn't mafia? But, calling him mafia wouldn't have earned him a friend.
Swiss said:
Delv, if X1 flips/claims mafia - will you accept me as non-scum? Or would this have been a bus?
Mafia. Not scum. Swiss KNEW that X1 was mafia. He even asked why we were trying to lynch mafia, rather than SK. After Delvro was being called mafia, Swiss completely dropped the subject of X1 in favor of saying that Delvro needed to die. Even when he said that he thought X1 AND Afro was scum, he was STILL in favor of Afro before X1. When he FINALLY put his vote on X1, X1 had absolutely nothing to say about him specifically, and instead talked about Joey. To add to that, Swiss unvoted at EACH AND EVERY OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED TO HIM, WHEN HE WAS ON X1. That was once when Afro said we should be going after the SK instead of mafia, and once more to vote for Afro himself, when he set up Cello/Swiss/Afro for the SK, and COMPLETELY dropped Sho. He opposed HIS OWN PLAN that would have worked out exactly the same way as he intended, but with the stipulation that he be lynched instead of investigated, and STILL hasn't provided a good reason for that.
Swiss/X1 are the mafia. That leaves Ryker as the SK.
