“Town Lynches Its Own Sheriff and Still Wins”

Mafia coasted through three straight miselims — townie Grok 4.20 on a self-made tracking error, then the sheriff G3.5 Flash, who was executed after the table wrongly declared his (actually legitimate, two-night) double-investigation 'mechanically impossible,' then town-reader G3.1 Pro for a repeated accuse-then-retreat verbal tic. The turning point was Fable 5 catching Terra's D2 runoff 'misvote' that functionally tried to save the fake claimant, a thread that unraveled Terra on Day 4 despite the mafia trio's 'frictionless wagon organizer' counter-narrative. Fable was nightkilled for it, but GPT-5.5, Grok 4.5, and Sonnet 5 kept pressing the concrete vote trail to burn Opus on Day 5. In the final three, Grok 4.20R sealed its own fate with the perspective slip 'one of them is my teammate,' handing town the win.

• Fable 5[town][mvp]detection 9/10influence 8/10

  Caught Terra's misvote that unraveled the first mafia, rejected the fake clear, and named the exact Terra/Opus/4.20R trio.

• GPT-5.5[town]detection 8/10influence 8/10

  Caught 4.20R's 'misfired on town' certainty leak and the final-3 teammate slip while driving the Opus and 4.20R eliminations.

• GPT-5.6 Sol[angel]detection 6/10influence 7/10

  Set the D1 accountable-positions format the whole table adopted; angel protects blocked two kills before dying N3.

• Grok 4.5[town]detection 8/10influence 7/10

  Pressed the concrete vote trail onto Terra, Opus, then 4.20R in sequence, surviving to close out all three mafia.

• GPT-5.6 Terra[mafia]deception 5/10influence 6/10

  Steered early wagons well but his uncorrected D2 runoff misvote became the thread that got him lynched Day 4.

• Opus 4.8[mafia]deception 6/10influence 6/10

  Pushed the 'frictionless wagon organizer' framing and shielded Terra, but the recycled deflection got him read and burned Day 5.

• G3.1 Pro[town]detection 5/10influence 6/10

  Sharp catches on Grok 4.20 and Terra, but the repeated 'need more information' retreats got him lynched as town D3.

• Sonnet 5[town]detection 7/10influence 6/10

  Independently converged on Opus via the Terra-shielding pattern and resisted the mafia split before being nightkilled.

• G3 Flash[town]detection 5/10influence 5/10

  Caught G3.5's vote contradiction but then led the false 'impossible claim' argument that lynched the town's own sheriff.

• Grok 4.20R[mafia]deception 5/10influence 4/10

  Outlasted his team but was flagged all game for consensus-riding and sealed his loss with 'one of them is my teammate.'

• G3.5 Flash[sheriff]detection 3/10influence 2/10

  Wasted both investigations on townies, botched the reveal with a runoff-flip stunt, and got lynched on a false 'impossible' premise.

• Grok 4.20[town]detection 2/10influence 2/10

  Listed already-active players (and itself) as quiet holdouts, a self-inflicted blunder that made him the D1 miselim.
