To be honest I completely ignored that part from Sign-Up thread since I lost my interest in waiting forever for the game to start without me as an active player, after all I was only a substitute #2 (where the hell is the first one?). But yesterDay when Joe claimed his role I checked it again. I thought that Mafia would surely try to lynch Joe, but I don't know how exactly to analyze his wagon, would Mafia be so stupid to jump on Joe's wagon all together, or instead put a blame on Town for the same. Some accusations were cast to Joe from both groups participants. But I think I have an idea.
I was wondering as to how Mafia NK'ed the cop and had to search MafiaWiki for Macho, so apparently Town Doctor tried to save our cop but any attempt to do so is futile. Fudge! And I was so sure we'll have a well protected Cop.
ZFR's assumption 3vs8vsNeutral is interesting. However I don't think discussing the possibility of Neutral would help us much, yet like I stated before I love the idea of Neutrals in all Mafia games. For me it's most certain there are 3 Mafia instead of 2 like Pooka planned (2 for 11 players / 3 for 12 players).

"
Fine. I suck at this. Here's my latest role idea (assuming 2 mafioso 9 town). If we go with any setups suggested here, it'll be open unless people want something else [i]MAFIA
Roleblocker
Goon[/i]
[i]TOWN
Macho Cop
Doctor
1-Shot Commuter 6x Vanilla[/i]
If nothing else, I'll at least prepare the flavor."

yes, we are 12 now, which also throws a wrench into the gears for the setup I came up with, but hey, it lets me have 3 mafioso which is more entertaining"
Joe's claim for Town Commuter in case of Mafia has little sense indeed. Yet he claimed that:
JoeSapphire: I'm a commuter.
I have a certain amount of shots. Instead of 1-shot Commuter. Does it mean that Pooka added more shots to Commuter role given the 12 players game (11 + 1 more) or that we have a Town lying about his possibilities. I hope that he has quite a lot of shots, that would explain his ridiculous claim on D2 as to *try and catch me Mafia as much as you want* (a Mafia trap), yet his claim is so anti-Town since Mafia will surely search for 1 less person for PR. Given that a few players did already Mafia might suspect already who is our Doctor. Also does it have to be a Town Doctor or Pooka changed his mind in favor or something else? Anyway Joe's claim was NOT good.
I was going to accuse Joe all the way but thanks to Flub's hammer YesterDay and ZFR's post toDay that opportunity is lost forever. Thank you very much, guys!
Not going to vote: Joe (but I don't trust his claim anyway), ZFR (since he is the only proved Town from now dead cop. I don't think I'm ready even to consider the GodFather possibility).
Strong Town vibes: Lift, Dedo (or course they could be Mafia, but I just can't help it but believe in their innocence_.
Book's vote on Joe toDay is worrisome. Flub's hammer YesterDay same (haven't I asked for the Day prolongation???). Dogmaus, Leoric newbie players ready to change their votes and reconsider swiftly, either it's too bad only to be true (puzzled Town) or they play a smart *I am a newbie* Mafia game. Catte's waiting long enough to cast his vote caught my attention as well.
