Mafia 31. Twilight Dances.

Tory's defense didn't work.

Is this 100% certain? Yes. You said he was killed on the first night, so his defense didn't work. Then the witch came and resurrected him. Otherwise, it's a logic error when compared to the other nights, where the working defense for everyone except the thief was described.

The clues were easy - bad, modkill of Nebo - good, strange logic.

Yes, easy clues are bad. I'm not very good at solving clues, but even for me, they were too easy. But the modkill of Nebo is normal. Changing it when he's already on trial is stupid; the new player won't be able to defend himself for Nebo, he has nothing to use. The phrase that he reported late is also irrelevant because the person's computer broke! Was he supposed to run and report it on the forum first? Besides, they revealed the voting day for Nebo; it's unknown what would have happened if he had been eliminated that way. I finally found the post with TaKo, page 52, the very first one:

Hello everyone :) I warned the GM in advance that I wouldn't be available until Sunday evening, so I wasn't modkilled (this is just to preempt any questions ;) )

Well, yes, she warned you. I don't know about the ND; I only see that the player is surprised that he wasn't modkilled. What conclusions should I draw?
