Possible but probably not. One small edge the town has is that DFs makes consensus decisions, that makes them somewhat predictable, now knowing this they might deliberately try to aim where no one will suspect, but that's just to avoid doccing. If Artsapat isn't mafia, then they are looking at the same data as us, a player who has likely lied, or at least seems more likely than someone else, they also have no less reason (at twilight) to suspect a third faction, if there numbers are small 3 or less, they will think it very likely. One thing about third factions is you want them eliminated or exposed as quick as possible as a DF. Think as a scummer for a moment, something very easy for me to do, I learned the hard way back in game 7 not to leave third parties alive, it ultimately benefited me nothing because the SK targeted the same people as me until finally we both targeted each other. No, as a DF you purge threats as fast as possible, if I thought Artsapat was a heightened chance to be rival scum, I'd have RB'd him and cut his throat. It is the most logical course of action, and one silver lining of dealing with DFs is they are semi-predictable because as a group they make decisions, not always the best choices, sometimes outright stupid once implemented, like claiming mason to a buddy DF, but they will seem to them to be the best choice.



He drew no real attention yesterday, we could WIFOM that maybe I'd kill him because he voted for me or that the DFs targeted him for that edge, but people vote for me all the time on day 1, including Artsapat and FT. Not a good motive for a kill, therefore not a great one for a frame either. Not a good motive for a kill, but a decent one for a cult conversion.



TANK, yes (Two Apparent Night Kill), but cult, no. This reminds me way too much of the strategy we used in Space Mafia



Very low odds of two docs, fairly high of BP and doc, agreed. I just don't believe a doc targeted Napoleon, easier for me to believe BP or fake doc, there's a great advantage - especially to a cult leader - of arranging to make someone look like the subject of a failed attack. We've no dead bodies, but I still think odds favor us having two factions out there, one could be cult, or he/she/they might have decided to lie low, or couldn't kill, etc.
