Mafia 103. Ice and Ash

Yeah, my situation isn't great, especially since Ment turned out to be Mafia. I had a similar experience in one of Shaman's Mafia games, as far as I remember. Well, I'll share my current suspicions about who I think is Mafia.

1) As strange as it sounds, I suspect Uran is Mafia, even despite what happened yesterday. Here's why:

a) It's hard to imagine a less likely pairing than Uran and Ment, but why emphasize their "incompatibility" so much:
Well, Ment, it's already obvious that we're not a good match, so I recommend you talk more about other players when discussing this. For example, you could talk about how active Mafia players are in the game on average, i.e., how many messages they write compared to the average number of messages written by peaceful players.

It's already obvious, so why highlight it so much? It all seemed like a performance designed to create the impression: "If Ment is Mafia, then I definitely am not. Get it?"

b) I find it strange that Uran keeps getting the rules of the game wrong, even though he reviewed the entire setting several times before the game and asked a lot of questions. This can't help but raise some suspicions.

2) The second Mafia player is likely either Rimpel or Vishmaster – based on the blocks. If I'm not mistaken about who has been eliminated, there's only one, maybe two, peaceful roles left between them. This leads to two possible scenarios:

a) I'm peaceful and got blocked along with another player. There's one (maximum two) peaceful role between us and three Mafia roles. The peaceful role is me, which means the other person is very likely Mafia. What should I do in this situation? Push the other person towards being hanged, or at least try to get them nominated for execution.
b) I'm Mafia and got blocked with a peaceful player. It's not in my best interest to have this peaceful player hanged, because then there won't be any roles left for me. It's better to let it go.

As far as I can remember, Rimpel didn't have any particular suspicions about Vish (I might be wrong, I didn't have time to read the entire thread carefully), and Vish didn't say anything at all. So, who is more likely to be Mafia?

3) Shaman is also among my suspects. When I started looking at the clue about Heroist, he seemed to perk up:
Let Master check, just in case there's a Berber bomb.

expecting that I might provoke a vote to remove Ment. But it's good that I checked the feedback from the second clue about Heroist instead of taking it at face value.

Of course, I'm not claiming that my assumptions are the absolute truth, but for now, there's nothing else but speculation.

I can only follow the game in short bursts, so I can't properly analyze the clues or read the thread carefully. I tried to at least check the connections in the clues. The first clue about Ment was solved nicely, but there are about 10 such "nice" Berbers in every game, while there's only one correct one. The second clue was too vague, so I didn't believe it could be real and didn't want to be one of the people who voted to execute an innocent player.

By the way, my vote in the hanging didn't really matter, and I could have easily added or not added my vote. The Mafia needed to remove 2 votes to prevent the execution. That would have been equivalent to a defeat.
