Ok, on the compy for a bit.
My case against Volt (and Eevee and yuma) is based largely on process of elimination. I have to admit that up front. O is either town or an insanely crazy mafia who would risk dying night one when there was no real threat against him. I have to assume town because that is just too crazy for a mafia to give themselves a 50% chance of getting killed. So right now I'm thinking 80% chance of town, 20% chance of mafia. In practice, he may as well be town, but I have to leave that door open since he can't be confirmed the same way Axxle and eHal have been.
So if O is town, and because I KNOW I'm town, it has to be those three. No other options. So until I see otherwise I'm fully in support of getting rid of those three (note that if I'm mafia I'm completely throwing two partners under the bus...not a bad strategy maybe but the only preference I have for getting rid of one over another is completely strategic).
Ok, but process of elimination is not good enough for you other townies because you can't know for sure at this point that I'm town. Well, those three have been acting pretty scummy too. In addition to their bad records of lynching town (we all have pretty bad records right now though), they have tended to throw each other under the bus while still throwing the most blame on me. I described how Volt has done that in my post from last night. Eevee's done it too.

Well.. townies just dont know. I mean, even though I have a bad voting record, I dont think my decisions have been particularly stupid. Like, lots of other people thought the guys I voted for were suspicious too, some of the now dead VT's played pretty damn terrible in this game, one could even say they got themselves lynched with their erratic behaviour. Saying "you have to have known he was xxx!" is actually kind of mafia-ish, given they actually do know whats what.
I never said people should have known he was town. I was far from sure of that myself. However, I think his history of being crazy should have given people pause. We used just a couple days and really only closely examined one person day 3, even though we were in mylo. This is why I also don't buy it when Volt says that he hammered because he waited for Morgrim's response.
Yuma is an interesting case, because of his claim and because he claimed to have used it on Eevee. Like I've said, there is a minuscule chance he's telling the truth, and since we can investigate him to find out for sure, he is the only of the three that I think we should not lynch today.
But yuma has real holes in his story too. As O has pointed out, if we believe yuma we are forced to believe that the mafia targeted him and that he used up his one shot on the night he was jailed. Let's go back to that first point. Why would the mafia try to kill yuma? Makes no sense. Axxle was a practically-confirmed power role townie. Obvious choice. Well maybe the mafia thought he would be protected somehow (even though there was no evidence of a protective role until today!), so who were they next most likely to kill? How about O, who most people had cleared as town? No one seriously doubted O's VT claim day 3, largely because he'd already risked getting himself NK'd night 1. Easy choice for mafia to kill, so why isn't O dead? They don't want practically-confirmed townies around, they want suspicious players around. So why on earth would the mafia target yuma instead of O?
I may think of more throughout the day, but this is some basic support for the idea of a Volt-Eevee-yuma mafia trio.
