in the past 2 days, there have been 3 parallel-like kills. Discuss.

There are two parallel killers right? Can't one have done yesterday and today and the other just have killed today.

Can't parallel killers only kill once every two days? So at least one of those kills must have been from someone else.

I mean there aren't lots of possibilities for the extra kill:

- A trap
- A planewalker could kill day 3
- Mafia used their one-time bonus kill

One of the kills today could've been a regualr mafia kill as well, right?

errr wait, there isn't even an "extra" kill - mafia could have just made a parallel-like kill at some point and that would explain it

My understanding of the kills:
D1: Sammy - Mafia kill (provably)
D2: M2W - Parallel kill (very likely), ritagram - mafia kill (provably)
D3: Nolan - Parallel kill (hypothesized), Jackie - mafia kill (hypothesized)

This accounts for a mafia kill per day, with both parallel killers making kills at some point. I hypothesize that Nolan was the PK kill and Jackie was the mafia kill because Jackie was a "high priority" kill, while Nolan was a "low priority" kill, and mafia generally have greater planning power / flexibility to make high priority kills, while PKs are constrained. Additionally, the fact that one of the PKs did not kill yesterday suggests that they would be more likely to just take whatever kill they can get today, hence killing Nolan (a new player). I think mafia killed Jackie at murder o'clock by coincidence, because that happened to be a time when she was killable.
