Us two people who say they will die from talking have obviously not been talking much, and everything else has ground to a half, so I guess I've got to have to take the risk and try to encourage things on. It's possible I could die, now, and from my own time-constraints IRL don't guarantee I can jump back in and snipe a final adjustment to this message at the end anyway, but I promised I'd try. Before even more confusing information came through.
First, some apologies: I had missed that I had been visited on Night 0. I had misread it as "As it nears morning, [the city] pauses - as if to contemplate the coming sunrise" when it was clearly "As it nears morning, [the music] pauses - as if to contemplate the coming sunrise", as should have been obvious from the rest of the sentence. Mea Culpa. I will accept that this was probably (if not certainly) the Investigator (and probably nobody else), and it might have helped had I realised it earlier.
As I said before, that is "my special 'skill'". With the actual emphasis of that being on "Special". I'm the Pianist you hear and visitations interrupt my night-time music. The Night 1 interruption being the Strangler (again alone, probably), leaving me in this precarious position.
I'm ultimately forced to accept that Hector is the Investigator, although the one and only clue I think you left for us could have been cleaner, I think.
But I'm torn between the which of the other two (both claiming Neutral) is not what they have said they are.
The question I keep returning to is: how did we end up with a draw, end of Day 1? Two votes for me from Fallacy alone, counteracting the two votes put upon him by Hector and myself.
Option 1: A hidden and therefore undeclared vote from Fish, who possibly has a Mafia-side skill to implement this (but see Option 4). I have a number of possible doubts about Fish. (There's nothing in the Strangulation text to say a vote will be nullified by death, for example. That could be an assumption.)
Option 2: A double-vote skill by Fallacy. That could be what Bad Music really is, rather than "negates one vote on me". That would presuppose Fallacy as the Strangler (thus the falseclaim of being under threat of Day 2 strangulation, which I would wish to counter).
Option 3: The wording from Fallacy is "that negates one vote on me at the end of the day if I would be lynched". Given it ought to be 2:1 against, could this have been "reflects one vote against me..." if in such danger? I know I've misunderstood my own skill's wording (see apology above), and it's a possible paraphrasing that covers at least one misunderstanding. But it doesn't even help determine the alignment of the user of that skill. It's a basic protective for either. It may have turned out to be more useful than my Special skill, though, and it's definitely not Weak Town (which isn't being claimed), either way.
Option 4: Some effect/side-effect of the optional reward from having given up a Victory Point from the first game (either/both of the two I suspect could have done that, complicating things), in addition to whatever abilities everybody has. This might even explain how a faking Fish can have Strangled two people today (ability to save up/delay an action, or double it as a one-shot). If it's not also somehow cumulative like the Drenching (I half expect piano-wire to appear in the flavour, with two possible pianists, already - if not three!).
On the whole I am actually more inclined to finger FoU than TBF, at this point in time (I don't like the idea of the double-Strangle, and consider the sheer audacity of Fish having held back on Day 1 in creating the diversion...), but Hector seems to think it's the other way round and isn't saying anything else. And I can't understand how TBF can claim to have visited the investigator N2. So, TBF to add to Hector's own vote, and I'm going to have to hope I've both done enough to ensure a win and done it in the correct fashion.
(Watch me/us being entirely wrong about Hector, instead. But nobody else appears to be claiming Investigator, just somehow a 'visitor' so I had to reject that as a possible error, first.)
