Actually, this saying means the same as "unity is strength."
I like the theory about the deranged Mask/Puppeteer who sent the Mask to kill TaCo when she was already on her way to the Primal Mothers.
Regarding Flandre. I dismiss the suggestion that he was the Jester. Of course, the setting is unconventional, but I don't think that even in this world, the best way to hide from a supposed offender is to go to their home, no matter how many times you redirect them. He wasn't the Drawing either, as the Drawing had already visited and didn't even pay attention to me. A vegetable? Doubtful. The Vegetable visited Hostor. Unless, of course, Sky tricked us and used that as a way to reveal Hostor's role, implying that the setting is from Omsk. The Hat? He's not particularly colorful; he's just a guy in dark clothes with rare splashes of color. The General? What does the General have to do with it? He sends soldiers, he doesn't go himself. Who else? I have a thought that the colorful unicorn who didn't manage to cut out my kidney is the culprit. Gil wrote something about "what's the point of sending a note if they found out about Charlie?" - an ill-considered phrase. Notes are sent at night from the ND, and the result, frankly, the GM reveals in the newspaper. Moreover, you can send a note just for the sake of role-playing, for fun. These are my thoughts.
The Elves didn't find anything on Flandre, and they found clues at the scene of TaCo's murder - a note with a proverb, therefore, the information is 100% - it's the Acrobats, plus the Mask's mistake. Is the proverb additional evidence? It looks like it could be, but...
First, the Mafia usually doesn't bother with them, as the effectiveness of such notes for the Mafia is not as great as they would like. At the very least, Hexaliz can dig up some dirt on someone from the Mafia; the maniac is a loner and doesn't risk anything. Second, the Mafia is not as inventive as the maniac, and they are quite dull, which is compensated by the presence of a cohesive group. To bother, and even in the first night? No way! Third, if the proverb is additional evidence, then what clue is true? Flandre's colorful body? I consider this an indication of the role. Inventive synonyms for Toriy? I think this is more of a tribute to the setting and the GM's love of linguistic juggling. A cucumber? Which cures hemorrhoids? It's somehow absurd, and it's completely unclear who to connect it with. "Iron will punish"? Something like prophetic ramblings in the Wegtamcraft novels about the ancient ones who are about to awaken? It seems far-fetched and too artistic.
Therefore, I propose to execute Slonysh. Judge for yourselves. The proverb means "guys, hang out together, and you will dominate." Cohesion, friendship, international sexual relations. Slonysh is an accomplished diplomat, as written on her tiara. I like this version, because even in the first night, the Mafia doesn't get extremely complex clues; it's not like they're maniacs. And Sky hasn't had time to come up with stupid schemes for hardcore players.
As for the olives, Konstantin is my number one candidate, because olive branches, a wreath, rhizomes, buds, olive fertilizers - all of this serves (or served?) as symbolic gifts to the winner, and victories can be read in his signature with the naked eye. But the Puppeteer is still the Maniac, and although he is incredibly powerful, the GM shouldn't expose him too much. So, I'm not sure about this with a majority of votes.
This is what I think about all of this. And why not execute? First, I am definitely a Town member, and there is no reason to keep me alive. Second, the Town is not weak, but the Villains are not pushovers. I wonder what will happen if Doyle enslaves the Mafia? Will he be able to stage his own small St. Bartholomew's Day massacre?
