Is it possible that the mafia don't know they're mafia?

It's not possible for all the mafia to be ignorant of this fact, since somebody has to submit a night kill.
Also, if mafia couldn't vote for other mafia, the game would be very badly broken. The fact that cult can't vote for other cult is already a weakening of that faction.

You're probably right. I just don't know who could be mafia. And I think you and tau are more likely than other people.

I'm more inclined to distrust tau over thatwasademo more if left to my own devices, but I'd like to successfully kill someone and I don't exactly have warm fuzzy feelings for thatwasademo, either. Vote thatwasademo.

Vote: Tau for obvious reasons.

I am going to run errands soon. I don't know exactly how long they will take, but I might not be online at nightfall. Regardless, cease posting in 2 hours.

So far I've been most suspicious of demo and tau. Demo described an experience with gods that sounds authentic, though they could just be confused mafia. vote tau
Because tau is currently must suspicious person

Vote tally:
tau: 5 (anthusiasm, BlueSkySprite, jalapeno_dude, Paradox, Shoal, thatwasademo)
thatwasademo: 5 (Aestrix, kuuskytkolme, pistachi0n, tau)
SO. IT HAS COME TO THIS.
Unable to come to firm agreement, you approach THE COIN. THE COIN has long been on the cobbles of your town square. THE COIN is decisive when you are not. THE COIN has no prejudices. THE COIN is supreme over you when you cannot govern yourselves. Together, you pick up THE COIN and launch it into the air. HEADS, THATWASADEMO DIES. TAILS, TAU DIES.
THE COIN spins end over end in the air, the day's last light glinting off its milled edge. None of you know of what metal THE COIN is composed. Is it silver? Platinum? Electrum? Antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium? WHATEVER. THE COIN'S judgment is as profound as its material is mysterious. THE COIN RISES. THE COIN FALLS. THE COIN STRIKES TAU ON THE HEAD, KILLING HIM INSTANTLY. IT LANDS TAILS UP. SO AT LEAST IT DOES NOT CONTRADICT ITSELF.
You crowd around THE COIN to see which of the arcane symbols on its ancient minted surface have become filled with GORE. THE COIN can in this way communicate: tau's TRUE NAME was VOICE. THE COIN has, where you have previously FAILED, slain a KILLER in your midst. THE COIN FEELS NO PRIDE. THE COIN FEELS NO REMORSE. THE COIN FEELS NOTHING. But you may feel ever so slightly safer as you go to your several homes tonight. NIGHT FALLS, LO, EVEN AS DID THE COIN.
Night will last 24 hours or until I know everything I need to know.

The sun rises as bright as THE COIN. Less bright is the prospect of cleaning up this mess which used to be Aestrix. Like, geez, if they have to murder people couldn't they at least do it neatly? In their showers, perhaps, so that cleanup would just be a little bleach and running the water for a while. COME ON, KILLERS, BASIC COURTESY. You scrape pieces of her off the wall. YOU FIND THAT SHE HAD A PRIME NUMBER OF, uh, LUNGS. HOW UNUSUAL. ONLY SOMEONE WHOSE TRUE NAME WAS LIBBY COULD BE SO OBSESSED WITH MATH. YOU FURTHER FIND THAT THE REGRETTABLE TATTOO ON HER SHOULDER, ITS CONTENTS BEST LEFT UNDESCRIBED, IF VIEWED UNDER BLACK LIGHT ON THIS AND ONLY THIS EXACT DAY AT A SPECIFIC PLACE JUST BEFORE DAWN CRESTS OVER THE HORIZON, REVEALS PROOF THAT SHE WAS TOWN. OH WOE. OH MISERY. OH LAMENTATION.
Who ever heard of abandoning sunk costs, such as long strings of almost fruitless murder? NOT YOU GUYS. COME ON, EVERYONE, WHO'S NEXT. Day will last 90 hours. Can't have all this brutal dismemberment messing with my schedule.

We know Aestrix isn't mafia because she got killed, Kuuskytkolme is confirmed to be not mafia (unless it's a twist from the mods), I'm a cultist (I guess you guys have no way of being 100% sure I'm not mafia).
So, my first thought when looking at the vote count is that the mafia figured they'd sacrifice Tau for some reason. I also don't think this should automatically get Demo off the hook, they could have been mafia with a bonus secret power.
Another issue: More voting shenanigans? Thatwasademo got the extra vote, Tau had another vote taken away and has 5 votes and 6 people voting for him, even though one of them is BlueSkySprite.
Edited: I did the math wrong and at first counted 5 people voting for Tau instead of 6.
