Okay here's my thoughts...

Tentative town circle; Astro - aggressively identified and pursued town's best win strategy on day 1, Billy - has played bafflingly but I can wrap my head around him being a reckless town slightly more than a mafia, Nozzer - random read but seemed to have a town angle on day 1 posting the vote tallies and whatnot though not provided much since so slipping off, Bodanki - a cheap one but MITO openly encouraged pressure on him early in the game to spur things along and given how he GM'd last game not sure he'd do that to a mafia.

So as a result my **** list (i.e. people I'm OK to lynch) is Bobby, TRMF, Valley, afc and IBWT. Got nowt on Bobby. I haven't liked Trev being quiet again but like him putting out why Billy could be innocent, he's an easy cheap lynch which I think mafia would be gently nudging towards as it would be easy to justify. Valley was fairly quiet again early and since hasn't actually submitted much of substance to the game, kind of seems like posts for the sake of appearing active and don't know what the **** the vote on Astro is about. Haven't got much on afc not seen much from him other than his amusing late arrival for the first lynch, hard to compare to last game where he was pushed into a dominant role. IBWT has seemed faily similar to last game, getting a slightly different vibe which has me wary but not too supicious, he's also the only remaining person who could be mafia to explain Billy's Gerrez vote, I voted IBWT fairly late to try and push him into a tie with Tobes and Gerrez so maaaybe if both he and Billy were mafia that prompted the panic Gerrez vote but don't think that's too likely just paranoia.

We can't gleam much info from the lynches as there seems much more blood on town's hands than mafia's, and as for Obi Wan the only motive that could link him to someone would be that he was all over Valley from the off, but no-one was really giving it much heed so don't see why if Valley were mafia they'd choose to kill him and risk actually incriminating Valley, so think it's more likely it was a random kill or they got some read on him as detective from somewhere, but the Valley thing is worth bearing in mind.

These aren't hard and fast just sharing my current thoughts and would encourage others to do the same although obviously doesn't have to be as comprehensive, just like your top 3 towns and top 3 mafia, at the moment we're going on luck, waiting for the detective to be a hero, or just hoping for a miracle. The more info we get out there the more we can go on as at the moment we've got **** all and we're just stumbling through blind lynches whilst allowing the mafia to skirt through without having to offer opinions which can be scrutinised.
 
Okay, here's my thoughts.

Townies -

Astro - or he's playing a triple quadruple bluff game.
Billy - for reason above, no surge for him to save him yesterday/today by Mafia. 50:50 too close a risk not too.

Mafia -

Bobby - too quiet, below the radar type game.
IBWT - nothing concrete, just a feeling based on comments and change of votes during voting - as if he was deliberately voting for false targets to distract from main intended vote.
Valley - again too quiet, was quiet last time and was Mafia.

Quiet not based on today because of Easter more to do with last night back over. I'm quiet for most of today as family apparently expect me to participate with them.

P.S

Townies

Me.
 
Too quiet. ****ing hell, I don't spend every minute of my day on here lads <laugh>

Lynch me and town lose another member - FACT <ok>
 
Townie reads
Nozzer
Bodanki

Mafia potential
Billy - very odd voting first night. Last night mafia didnt save him but it would be stupid for mafia to save him as that would mean we would know billy AND whoever saves him to be a mafia
Morgan - dunno why but something doesnt seem quite right
IBWT - got a feeling he but then again i wasnt sure of him last game and he was the grandmaster

Unknown
Valley - very quiet
Astro - you can tell with all his charts and maths that he is a thinker. His fool proof strategy is a clincherfor townie but did he know secretly that people wouldnt agree. Astro is the sort of person to be sneaky enough to do all this to disguise him being mafia
Afc - no read
 
So I'm in everyone's lust of Mafia then? FFS <doh>

Some loyalty from my town would be nice...

Well that's logic to follow.
 
OK well Valley and IBWT have not improved their standings in my book by both immediately going on the defensive rather than joining in and posting their thoughts. A mafia will frequently be worried when pushed and will defend themselves whilst a good town knows it's going to happen over the course of the game and they only need to defend themselves if they're under actual threat of lynch. Also mafia will be a lot more cautious and planned when prompted to put out a list of their reads so being hesitant to do so is a suspicious sign.
 
Been out all day with my daughter......
What a turn of events
Valley, IBWT and Mikey still on my radar

For now, once again I am voting Valley

For me it's more quality (in terms of offering things that help town/move conversation along) over quantity. I've just gone back through your posts to check, here's your timeline so far...

Retaliatory vote on Obi Wan
Random bickering/banter with Obi Wan
Retaliatory vote on IBWT
Random bickering/banter with Obi Wan
1 Post calling the 5 Gerrez voters mafia <- Your one actual thought or opinion offered thus far and about the simplest read in history. :p
Vote on Tobes
Retaliatory vote on Bodanki
Vote back on IBWT
Vote on Astro <- The person who has put out the clearest town game thus far.

Apologies if I missed anything but that's pretty much the highlights from what I saw, bits in between where you post but usually on things not directly pertaining to the game or current conversation, which could be seen as trying to post and look active whilst staying under the radar.
 
Evening lads sounds like it was a thrilling day on the mafia front...

My thoughts in a nutshell:

So Tobes was innocent and just making newbie mistakes then. I wondered as much. I agree that no-one coming in to save Billy suggests that he may be one of us, but then again, the mafia maybe wouldn't want to make it so obivous who the others were. I'm tentative.

Valley seems to be doing more or less the same as last time, which could be an indication. Bobby's slipping by fairly quietly as well, and IBWT is providing less theories than usual. afcftw is quieter than usual, but no real read on him. Trev no read.

Astro I think is town. Bod's been much quiter than usual, but now I've got an alert that he's just posted, but haven't read what he's written.

Given the lack of new knowledge, and from the voting on day one, I'll bank a vote for IBWT again for now, and see what happens. I like the idea of him and Valley being up for the toss next.

The count is now 7-3 I think. We can't afford too many more slip-ups. We need to get us some dirty mafia!

Im usually on here most when at work, since I am lucky enough to have a mid management role where I can delegate and advise and spend all my time on here <laugh>
As I was off work today I took the little'un out for the day to go swimming.
