For example, in the last time, his chain of reasoning wasn't that complex.

It was about Crabby. I'm not sure anyone can think exactly like him, but I tried, and it pointed me to Crabby.
That's really cool, of course, but there's one small problem. In the thread you linked, there isn't a single clue related to the date! And when there are writers involved, it's very easy to come up with something based on the date of birth/death...
That's why I'm hesitant about my own version. I would really like to delve deeper into the associations rather than the dates, but that would require rereading the entire quest and spending a long time guessing in the wiki, trying to figure out what information would be most logically connected to something... I'm not sure I'll be able to do it. And I don't have a Mafia teammate who could help me in the chat, because I'm a town member.
