Sent Night 2
Day two dawns, and I get squatinsky on my investigation of Yattara. I somehow don't feel that this is going to bode well for my chances of surviving the day.
The moment I roleclaimed, I stopped caring about giving up scumtells. Funny thing is, my roleclaim seems to have worked against me: will people actually lynch an investigative role rather than one of the many unknowns, just for more information? Hopefully, another investigator, an alignment oriented one, either checked me out, or checked out scum, and will spill the beans.

Diary Entry sent at the start of Day 2:
drainbead was awful quick to ask me for the results of my inquiry for Night Two (one? 1.5?) I didn't have any reason to conceal it, especially because at some point or other soon, the Mob's going to cap me.... but it's strange that he jumped that quickly out of the gate on it.

Diary entry sent mid Day 2:
So everybody and their brother wants to know why I investigated Yattara...
One of my prime assumptions in this game is that the mafia chooses who is going to do their dirty work. To that end, I tried to figure out, if I was mafia, both what sort of person I'd want doing the grunt work (and sticking their neck on the line), and who'd I want to off Day One.
First off, there are the claimed roles. Roosh 's a good person to do the killing and a bad target if he's not. I stuck up for him Day One, and he'd be less likely for me to investigate. If he's telling the truth, there's no reason to risk getting one of the mafia killed while attacking him, as well as confirm his townie status. Dnooman is almost certainly a town vanilla. He's a bad target, because the mafia want to kill power roles, so he's off my targetting list. I'm thinking Cat is in the same boat Dnooman is. Mad's a decent target, almost certainly town, and killing him would end the spectre of the Masons... killing the one claimed mason would end all townie belief of the other Mason claiming. Watching me doesn't do any good. There's no reason to suspect that the target would appear "roughed up" like if they attacked Mad in the T.I. game.
So either Roosh or Mad are only likely to be involved in night actions in one respect or another. I want to investigate someone where I have a chance at catching either scum or victim. So I looked at the lurkers.
In almost all of these games, the Mafia likes to go after the people who weren't at the center of the arguments of the day before. They want to leave people who are spewing scumtells (who aren't scum) out there as flack to cover themselves, give them a few more days to hide. The lurkers are: Yattara, wtf, tragic and CaerieD. Diggit, zeriel, atarus, Hal and Hockey certainly participated, but they were a lot less active than the big names. All of these people could be good targets or killers. I wasn't going to reinvestigate Hal, though.
I had nasty suspicions on sinjin and Captain Klutz grounded on their baseless attacks on me (others attacks felt fairly well based... I wasn't a vanilla townie, and they saw right through me). C.K. wasn't a big participator, so he'll go in the mix with the rest of them. I think I just don't like sinjin, so she was out for the moment while I figured out my own biases.
Idle, story, pygmy, Greedy, mtgman, mhaye and Blam all could be scum. They're definitely the big players around here, no matter their role. They all could be targets. But I didn't want to pick an obvious person, and I don't think the scum would target them tonight.
So the Captain, the lurkers and the minilurkers all went into a pot. That's only 9, and the nerd who rents a room from me doesn't have a nine sided die, so I tossed mtgman in that list, randomized it, and tossed a ten sided die.
And Mr. Universe ends up spending his night watching Yattara, how scandalous, considering he's a married man!

Sent Night 3:
Another day down, another townie lunched. Aaaaand so far, the only positive thing that's happened for the town seems to have been the scum's capping Greedy. It's a bad sign when the scum is more helpful to the town than the town is.
People on my townie list right now: Mad Dnooman wtf Idle Roosh (Idle and Roosh entirely because they both seem to have parallel power role IDs to mine... the fact that I like their posting styles helps, but worries me) BlasterMathster
People highest on my scumdar: sinjin hockeymonkey zeriel
Why zeriel? Well, not because zeriel's a lurker. A lot more because zeriel kept on tagging right behind me on votes. It seemed a little creepy.
I've got two options tonight: One, I could Watch wtf, and confirm his towniness. Two, I could Watch one of the scum. I think it might be better for the town if I went for one of the scum, but I think it might help me out a little more if I could PM wtf and say "Hey I watched you last night, I saw you're the real deal, you checked out ____" and reduce by one, at least, the number of people who distrust me.
This is kinda an all or nothing game, though. I don't even know if I'll wake up tomorrow (I imagine I will, the scum know I'm going to be a lynch target sooner or later). I guess I'll see if Hockey is doing anything tonight.

Could be.
And Night 3's results:
Should I start suspecting that Mr. Universe is just adding to his private tape collection? ;D

Night 4's investigation:
How evil would it be to tell him that Idle sat by himself all night? ;D

Night 4's investigation: How evil would it be to tell him that Idle sat by himself all night? ;D Idle had a target today. It was Idle. His monitors should pick up that Idle Thoughts went to Idle Thoughts' room and poked around in there before returning to Idle Thoughts' room.

He gets rolenames? Because that flavor seems at least a bit suggestive.

He does not get rolenames. I wanted it to be somewhat suggestive, but not too much so (which I'm not sure I successfully managed, though).
Although, I wish I'd read your earlier reply before I wrote it out, as that one would have been so much more fun (and Evil) to send.
