Game Ranked Hero Killer Mafia

With the Hayumi flip, I think Lapp and Aurelian are very unlikely to be scum. I mean, do we really think a failed scum wagon D1 is going to have her mates jumping on so easily?
Yes, it's maj lynch = very hard to get votes on

Either that option ends up being the kill or a no kill so bussing seems best to me

@Lappland i genuinely forgot, but were you a powerwolf or a busser? And also why aren't you all over my ass given you said hayumi and me were so paired

I am both you bimbo

I want your take on Stick, not you to ask why I am asking. Look at what I said in regards to Stick dumbass and you will realise why I am asking you
 
re: Hayumi

Hayumi clearly cared about being understood and got frustrated when misread, but consistently recalibrates based on new info (e.g., reevaluating Brad after a believable claim). Role-claim defense: Her protective roleclaim (3-shot Roleblocker) is central to her defense, and she used it to explain her vote shifts and reads. She's called out the logic of her choices and challenged others to look at the bigger picture. Constantly referenced who is voting who, when, and why. Strong awareness of wagons, EoD momentum, and others' meta. Basically did a great job of deep wolfing. So now we delve into possible connections to partners based off of interactions and voting patterns.

Pepe Boi: Her biggest scumread. Consistently calling out lack of solving, weird sheeping behavior, and a sharp contrast with his previous town meta. There is no way in my estimation that this was a bus job, especially to the extent that it happened.

Aurelian: Initially pushed them but softened at times, suggesting some doubt and openness to reevaluation. Now this can be more of a wolfy subtle bus here as it fits a world to shade a partner (like she did with me in cross forum mafia) without actually wanting to push it through. In saying that though, I do vibe Aurelian as town given his play is in stark contrast to recent wolf games.

Lapp: Consistent suspicion due to behavior, meta differences, and interactions. As per Aurelian, could be a subtle wolf bus without genuinely believing in the solve.

Fuji – Consistently townread. Even when Fuji dueled Brad (who Hayumi later calls town), they frame Fuji’s intention as non-hostile.

Jay - Hayumi and Jay show mutual avoidance, with minimal direct interaction or voting pressure on each other throughout the game. Hayumi pushes back against W/W accusations using surface-level distancing logic, but without genuinely solving or committing to a read on Jay. Their treatment of each other is cautiously neutral, which feels unnatural compared to how Hayumi engages with other players. Overall, there’s moderate scum equity between them.

Miraka - Initially suspected due to OMGUS behaviour, wagon resistance, and not solving. Later reevaluated after Miraka posted big walls, (the term she used was “Bible posts,”) analysing the game — she felt that was too effortful for scum. Then drops the scumread, showing willingness to adapt based on progression and tone. Possible collaboration and performative.

Fuji - Always townread. Even when Fuji dueled Brad (her eventual town read), Hayumi didn’t shade him — said intention wasn't malicious. Points out that Fuji asked her to claim to break the tunnel, reinforcing town motivation on both ends. Suggested Fuji wouldn't push her mislynch. Very forgiving of his play and buddying up to each other.

Alexis - Less central, but Alexis gets pulled in when others suggest he and Hayumi are W/W. Hayumi pushed back: “If we were both wolves, why are you pushing me?” Logical defense, not much emotional tie. Suggests to me implicit distancing, but not strongly developed for it to be concrete. Red herring on gut cos I don't see a wolf Alexis putting in so much effort, even if their reads/POE have failed to evolve at any point throughout these phases.

Stick - Hayumi and Stick show inconsistent read trajectories—Hayumi initially scumreads Stick but waffles multiple times, citing discomfort with the vote shift yet never fully committing to solving or defending them. She flips between voting Stick and calling other slots worse without much progression. Their interactions lack genuine push or pressure, suggesting a performative distance. Gut vibe though is Stick is town, so the deep wolf element works here

Atsumori - Hayumi and Atsumori show low wolf parity based on interaction and treatment. Hayumi rarely acknowledges Atsumori directly, and there's minimal mutual engagement or agenda coordination between the two. Atsumori doesn’t appear in her major POE lists, nor does Hayumi push or defend him meaningfully.

Grammaton - Hayumi and Grammaton appear to have low-tier team parity. While Hayumi mentions Gram in a secondary POE early on, she doesn’t consistently push or prioritise him, and there’s minimal direct interaction between them across phases. This distance could suggest deliberate distancing or simply low relevance to each other’s agendas. However, the lack of strong coordination or defense makes me lean to them not being aligned.

So my solve is basically Lappland/Jay/MIraka with FujiHime being a variable. With the night kills we must entertain the existence of a SK, which complicates my final solve.
 
Alright

Stick is probably the SK. I dislike that she right away agreed with my SK read on the NK's. On MU Sk's are not that common in the first place, but she was like "yeah that looks like a SK snipe". I do not think Stick actually reacts that way as town or wolf. In fact I think Stick would normally push me for bringing it up right away.

Likewise her play has never sat right with me, I noted that she gives towny vibes from some posts but there was something else to it. I didn't explicitly wanna call it wolfy at the time, but like look at how Boquise treats me vs Stick. Boquise genuinely tried to read me, while with Stick I got more of a feeling that she had some bad faith.
 
We need to consider who have been the most influential in leading the Town in the wrong direction.

Fujishiro leads in this regard in spades, closely followed by Lappland and Lethal. Lethal is to be lynched. The above post took effort, but effort is not an inherently townie trait (or even AI for many at all).
 
I wish Jay would have actually commented on it himself, it is insane that I need to spell these things out for him here. Stick is not playing like a villager, so why does he ignore her?

I have not lead town this game
