Mafia is going down a dangerous path right now, IMO. If tsims both makes the kills and pretends to be an investigator, he will have to report 2 accurate investigations per day (1.5 if a spoofing superhero). In a game this size, that is very not good for mafia (although MtP on day 1 will help). Additionally, suspicion may start to fall on Dgrazian if he lives too long; I expect Francesca and Lily in particular will wonder why he hasn't died yet.
IMO it would be much better for Dgrazian to push for mayor and make all the kills himself as long as he's alive. This is good because:
a. It would seem much less out of place for tsims to be alive in the endgame.
b. It would mean either mafia could make a good set-a-trap guess on the police officer, or the police officer wouldn't actually make investigations for town.
c. Mafia would control more votes and would block access to town investigations on the MtP kill.
Police officer kabooms are nice, but it may raise the chance of getting investigated even more.
1. Mafia having to spoof an extra investigation or two per day is a bit unpleasant, but it's faaarrr better than the town getting an extra investigation per day!
2. I had no chance of getting elected mayor. I took all my luck+skill to get elected police officer.
3. Tsims and I DID come to the conclusion that it would be better for me to kill Lucy. Credit to tsims on that one; he convinced me about that, and I believe he was correct. Even though we both went to the kill site, I was the one who was actually going to make the kill.
4. It was too risky for me to kill Francesca, because there was too high a probability that Lily would come back home in the interim. Also, I thought it was relatively safe for tsims to make the kill, because:
a. Since we were manipulating the press, only the mayor would be able to make an investigation
b. I didn't think that Josh was paying enough attention to find tsims really sketchy.
Of course, this failed in two ways. Francesca got out texts in time, and Francesca was Gay Knight, so her partner could make infallible investigations.
