I'm gonna reply to the Mafia vs. Supernatural dilemma first: the Supernaturals pose little to no threat to us at this moment. The Siren has a very low chance of getting someone and even so, that someone can be another scum role. The Ghost wins with the town or when lynched. The Alien has lots of players to probe, so until later in the game, he's no threat to us either. That means we should focus on finding the mafia right now.
That said, I return to my FoS of notty. While he did manage to calm down my scumradar for a little while, although not completely, the arguments that GmK and myuser posted right after my last post bring up some damn good points.
Notty, in addition to the fact that you voted No Lynch, which in my eyes practically says "scum right here", you have been very eager to show us all the good things you've done for the town so far and how we won't really be losing anything because if the SWAT officer. And while I admit, the claiming idea was pretty good and will help the town a lot, it will also help the scum a lot. See, in Mafia there is no black or white, there's only grey. You can say you did it for the good of the town, but it's as possible that you did it for the good of some other faction.
The No Lynch will waste an opportunity that we could use to either narrow down the suspect list or get rid of some scum roles. And while I admit, lynching "in the dark" (although we have a pretty good level of suspicion going already) sounds pretty cruel, it works. Some town PRs will die, no matter what we do. The least we could do is give them a chance to defend themselves and perhaps narrow down the suspect list even more, so we'd have even better chances the next day.
You say that giving the town 4 confirmed would be pretty bad for the mafia, so you possibly couldn't be mafia. But you also gave the mafia a list of all the power roles, basically a kill list. And by saying you did something that's really bad for the mafia, you can also be trying to take down your own suspicion level, even if not for now, but for later in the game.
Right now, you've done a lot good for both the town and the scum, but I get the feeling that you're more likely to be scum than town. The best lies are the ones wrapped in truth and I'm sure that as an experienced player, you'd be willing to damage your own chances to improve your own chances, if that sentence makes any sense.
