Dipping in:
@ Kiyoko
I figured you'd be the one to rope up Lucas the moment I saw it. It has your name all over it. That said, I wasn't concerned with Rasei's attempted rope purchase--I actually saw the items she attempted to get as town-leaning--but rather with something else I noticed. I'm hesitant to dive into this, though, since it's either really pro-town or really anti-town to probe into it. Which makes this... difficult.
For Aeiou, I'm not sure if I find the binoculars purchase suspicious or not. I can see it going both ways. If mafia have it, they might have a better way of noticing if someone happened to visit a target that they didn't claim using an item on, suggesting one of the few persistent power roles. If town has it, they can check to see the same but flipped for mafia.
Aeiou probed me to see if I would announce which two targets I visited. I'm not sure if that's a move a town or mafia would make. On one hand she could've been trying to see if I'd lie. On the other hand, if she knew I visited Ninfia and then waited to see if I could explain what that might've been... I guess it depends on if she bought my wine claim, because as far as I can tell none of the 2G items other than stationery would cause me to visit a target and not be immediately obvious about it. Then again, I also don't know if she would've tried to claim against me if I said I had only visited one target, and we can't go back in time to find out.
For Duck, the stationery purchase seems pro-town at a glance, but Kiyo's scrap paper said Duck spent 8G. There's only so many other options that would lead to a total shopping list of 8G. Temporary Paint and the Fishing Rod would bring the total up to 8G and both are items that feel more mafia-leaning, and they're both unclaimed from what we know. Any other purchases than these two would mean Duck spent anywhere from 2G - 4G on the unlimited stock, not including the original stationery purchase, and I doubt Duck bought 4x, 3x, or even 2x stationery. Unless they own the postal shop, I guess. That might be a possibility. Otherwise, Duck doesn't seem the type to dump the rest of their money into lottery/festival items, I think, unless they were seriously prepping for the festival. And they would need to do this if they bought 1x Stationery, (1x or 2x 2G items, like Crab Traps or Tin Cans or something).
Hmmm.
I think I'm not inclined to vote Ninfia given how I'm reading what she's saying. I skimmed her recent post and I agree that of the four in the other grouping, I'm most intrigued by plot.
Hmmm.
I'm honestly really tempted to vote for Duck now, because that purchase combined with Kiyoko's information is really weird to me. But if they're mafia, would mafia purchases show up in the scrap paper? And Duck never contradicted spending 8G... Hmm. I think mafia would have to show up, else the list is basically a second cop role, so to speak. So unless Duck owns the postal shop, this is probably my best lead until they comment otherwise.
Vote: Entelechy
I'm curious what you have to say about all of this. Failing a Duck lynch, I'm down for possibly plot, Aeiou, or Rasei, just due to knowing the least about them. I think Aeiou and Rasei's actions feel pro-town at a glance. I guess the last alternative is No Lynch. Though I tend to hate that.
