Alphabeta isn't mafia.
This seems like a very definite statement. Care to share why you have such a high level of confidence?

I am definitely thankful that he warned us about Chelsea. It's not immediately obvious to me that the warning was actually worth losing all remaining Chris-type powers in the game (from michaelblume himself and from alphabeta exchanging the power for Chelsea's).

Addy doesn't make sense as a member of the mafia. Yes, that time when Addy was human, she sort of killed people, but as a vampire? No. She did whatever was best for keeping a healthy array of delicious powers at her fingertips. That is not a mafia-like motivation. Alphabeta specifically outed DanielH to preserve the number of powered templates on the playing field, because he didn't like the plan of letting us townies kill each other. That is not a mafia thing to do, not to mention, a cult traditionally can't recruit members of the mafia. Attempting to gets them killed.

The part of Ozymandias will now be played by anthusiam.

Shit! I tried to cover him last night, but I failed for some reason. Does the murder happen before I can poke people?

Hi!

For what it's worth, I think killing Alphabeta is probably a bad idea. I agree with Aestrix's analysis wrt Addy, and besides that he has a useful power and is demonstrably willing to use it for the benefit of the town. Even if Addy turns out not to be town-affiliated, he's useful, which puts him lower on the priority list.

That being said I have no idea who the Mafia are.

Oh, and now you think I'm mafia. I'm not. If I knew where to find an Elspeth, I'd probably have an easier time clearing this sort of thing up.

I'm tempted to just call for the deaths of people who vote to kill me. Then again, I'm probably dead tonight anyway unless this is somehow a one-killer game.

Alphabeta, what are the exact functions of how your power, please? If you poke a person who is powerless, do you get their affiliation anyway? If you poke a mafia member, do you know? You seem to be the only investigative template we have left.

I don't know the affiliation of people I poke except when their power makes it super fucking obvious like with Chelsea.

You'll note that I said michaelblume was probably with the town, not definitely.

You seem very interested in possible investigative roles.
