Are there any killing roles left?! If you assume we've gotten rid of all the Mafia Goons, the Roleblocker can't kill. Only the Scientist can kill now, right, and that's only if Grim... (or whoever the scientist actually is) can figure out the correct button.
That's correct. No Mafia kills for three nights now strongly suggests there were only two goons; it's possible that they, say, took a night or two off to confuse people and were roleblocked by Grim... on some other night. Possible but highly unlikely. That writes the Mafia off and means we absolutely have to find the Cult now before it is too late.
So... how do we do that then? If they have been recruiting for strength, they would have been silly to pass up nabbing both Grim... and Dimrill who have outed themselves as vulnerable and powerful. The only reason they would pick someone else I can see is that they would worry that they were obvious targets who may get lynched down the road.
Grim... and Dimrill were both instrumental yesterday in getting the SK killed and that suggests they are both Cult as the SK was the biggest threat to them. Other voters for Mr Chris yesterday were myself, ComicalGnomes, Sir Taxalot, Dudley, and JBR. Damn, that's a long suspect list. Also, Mr Chris was one vote away from getting lynched from a little before 7pm to a little after 9pm; that hints (weakly) that the remaining voters for Grim..., who were Vegetables and Gazchap, are not cultists as the cult would have been all out gunning for Mr Chris by that point and would probably have switched a vote to seal the deal. It is possible those guys simply weren't around though, of course.
I'm aware I appear to be implicating myself here, as I actually switched my vote from Grim... to Mr Chris, but there's nothing I can do about that. I switched my vote and condemned Mr Chris because I concluded that Dimrill and Grim... have been telling the truth about their roles and had successfully fingered the SK. Although I was sure they were cultists, I figured we could (perversely) trust the cult to feed us the serial killer, and as the cult can talk to each other they have much better information than we do. The enemy of my enemy is my friend etc. Note that with this post I am consciously making myself a target for the cult; the other remaining townies will have to either stand by me or I will get lynched today by a bunch of cultists driving the discussion. So help me, please.
If we assume that the cult leader would remain quiet and make his minions do the talking, and that Grim... and Dimrill have been honest about their roles, that levels the FOS at Sir Taxalot, JBR, or possibly Dudley (not as quiet as the other two). ComicalGnomes was very chatty from the start which would have been ballsy for the cult leader so I think that is less likely.
So, we have a choice; we could randomly hunt around looking for the leader, which is a double or nothing kind of thing, or we could settle for reducing their power by taking out Dimrill or Grim... who are (almost certainly) rank and file. Note that neither of their night powers are particularly useful now with the vigilante, SK, and mafia gone, so they don't empower the cult at all except for the daytime lynch vote. Hence, choosing almost at random,
[VOTE:Sir Taxalot]
(note that Sir Taxalot actually voted for Mr Chris after his fate was sealed, I think that speaks of a cultist who came back, found a few pages of unread posts and perhaps a "quick, go vote for Mr Chris PM", didn't realise the vote was already a majority and quickly posted to get the lynch going. I find this mildly suspicious).
