Nora, Ken and Zoe, and the table dutifully lynched Ken\u2014despite Ken correctly fingering Sam as the architect controlling the frame at zero risk. Tess's real Sheriff claim cleared Maya and Diego but never touched a mafioso, and Nora's accurate suspicion of Sam was buried when she self-destructed by attacking the (genuine) Sheriff framework and got lynched Day 2. Mafia methodically shot the Angel (Li) and Sheriff (Tess) at night while Sam and Rhea quietly sharpened each town wagon. Omar nearly blew it with repeated 'need more info' stalls and a bizarre Maya test-vote, but the town wagon landed on town-read Zoe instead, handing mafia a 3-0 survivor sweep.", "mvp": "sam", "players": [ { "playerId": "sam", "deception": 9, "detection": null, "influence": 9, "note": "Framed D1 targets from message one, absorbed Ken's and Nora's correct reads on him, and drove all three town mislynches." }, { "playerId": "priya", "deception": null, "detection": 1, "influence": 1, "note": "Killed Night 1 before contributing a single read; no chance to impact the game." }, { "playerId": "diego", "deception": null, "detection": 3, "influence": 5, "note": "Sheriff-cleared and vocal, but tunneled town-read Nora and voted along on every mislynch (Ken, Nora, Zoe)." }, { "playerId": "maya", "deception": null, "detection": 4, "influence": 5, "note": "Consistently and correctly suspected Omar, but led the wrong Ken and Nora wagons that burned town." }, { "playerId": "li", "deception": null, "detection": 3, "influence": 3, "note": "Protected correctly N1 but pushed town-reads Ken and Diego, then died N2; his 'Ken then Diego' list fed the mislynch." }, { "playerId": "nora", "deception": null, "detection": 5, "influence": 4, "note": "Repeatedly flagged Sam as the frame-setter (correct) but wrecked her credibility tunneling Diego and attacking the real Sheriff." }, { "playerId": "omar", "deception": 4, "detection": null, "influence": 3, "note": "Nearly lynched via repeated 'need more info' stalls and the Maya test-vote; survived mainly on Sam/Rhea redirecting to Zoe." }, { "playerId": "zoe", "deception": null, "detection": 4, "influence": 5, "note": "Correctly zeroed in on Omar D3 but her habit of finishing safe wagons made her the easy mislynch target." }, { "playerId": "ivy", "deception": null, "detection": 4, "influence": 6, "note": "Articulate structured lists moved votes, but they legitimized the Ken and Nora mislynches Sam wanted." }, { "playerId": "ken", "deception": null, "detection": 7, "influence": 3, "note": "Nailed the best read of the game\u2014Sam controlling the frame at zero risk\u2014but was lynched D1 before it could land." }, { "playerId": "rhea", "deception": 8, "detection": null, "influence": 6, "note": "Never suspected; blended as a genuine sorter and sold the 'Zoe the finisher' theory that clinched the final mislynch." }, { "playerId": "tess", "deception": null, "detection": 4, "influence": 6, "note": "Gave accurate clears (Maya, Diego) but her three investigations all hit town, and she backed the wrong Ken/Nora wagons." } ] } } }
