slams hands on desk angrily I'm so displeased I missed this!!
On a serious note though; Tiki, sorry to say, but that reasoning sounds like a load of bullshit. Even if the mafia knew about stunned/jailed NK sends showing up as failed kills, it would be a fairly dangerous gambit; and what's more, if they knew that then why would Lucas post his inquiry if his assumptions about which show up and not are correct? It literally makes no sense whatsoever, and I cannot see a mafia team legit pulling that. And you are voting for a person that's the closest we have to confirmed town right now based on revenge, and I am 1000% not comfortable with that.
You being an unusual target for a silence is a fact. No matter how angry you are, it's a widely known fact that you are prone to incriminating yourself if you're allowed to speak, so silencing you is fairly odd when there are very vocal and strong players around. On the other hand, it's also true that the wounding definitely sounds like a mafia action, and it could serve to
1) silence a vocal player / a player that's on the right track / an investigative role for a phase before they can be taken out;
2) silence one of their own to save them from having to spec; or
3) help to incriminate a townie because 2) is a possibility.
While 1) would be the most likely strategy to employ with this kind of an ability, 3) imo seems more likely than 2) so early in the game. (Or the bus driver possibility mentioned before by... Angel originally, I believe.)
Which is why my opinion for now at least is that Tiki is a butthurt townie rather than mafia.
I'd be up to lynch Sammie (reluctantly though, I don't want my litmaf family to die ;;) or Five, based on well.. ~gut feelings~ from their posts. For Sammie it's mostly... the posting style? after the shooting intermission reminded me a lot of how she posts as maf. As for Five, their questioning of "why hasn't no one taken credit for the vigkill yet" bothered me as it sounded like vague role probing.
I don't have any firmer reads on anyone, but I'd also be willing to go with any of Cure's suggestions, as I think I believe her for now.
