I've been out all day but following on my phone, haven't had time to write anything. I think Duck's suggested approach is generally sound, though I worry that reading too much into day 1 lynches is falling into the same trap we got into last time. (Also around the question of who lynched Aragorn lol.)
Though I have to say, claiming town on the basis of a dead player who if they were messaging randomly would have had a 1/3 chance of hitting mafia anyway (meaning no one contradicting the message thing doesn't prove much), plus a hypothetical death that didn't actually happen, is fairly convenient. I agree it would be 5head for mafia to play like that... but if the mafia thinking is go big or go home, I could see it working. Especially as it draws a lot of attention to duck for now, while the other two mafia can keep their heads down and crack on. More so if they did actually all vote for Aragorn in the first round, which he would know if he was mafia. So......
On the other hand, Tibbs randomly accusing him with no reasoning is pretty rogue, and could also be a mafia play looking to distract from something else. So I'm open to hearing both sides for the time being.
