An artist's depiction of an Extended Unit Death
Well, that was... interesting.
To be honest, I haven't really been paying attention to mafia developments, but I have good reason to believe either Azrael or Sacrieur is mafia. Stay with me here:
This ability that keeps fake-killing for one day is reusable, it seems, and it seems unintuitive that mafia would use it on one of their own, right? That's the first level of reasoning we reach, but there's a significant flaw there in that the affected person's role is not revealed, which makes it advantageous to use on a mafia in certain scenarios.
It would thereby be in the mafia's best interest to fake-kill one of their own to make them a pseudo-confirmed townie. I don't think any mafia group would be dumb enough to kill an innocent Azrael to make him a potential hub for the town, but Azrael, if he were mafia, would certainly employ such a strategy on himself if he felt his role could miss a night in return for additional public trust. Azrael being a less-important mafia role would make the most sense (quite possibly being the Megamass Researcher himself; a possibility, considering there seemed to be no shenanigans during his own fake death). The fact that Azrael is usually responsible for this level of critical consideration but has not really done any analysis on these fake deaths and what they mean also supports this theory. Against this theory, however, are the claims Azrael is making in regards to his night actions being manipulated and receiving strange PMs, but to that we only have his word that he isn't fabricating it.
But going further, let's assume Azrael is innocent. After a full cycle of him coming back to life and nobody suspecting the person who fake-died to be mafia, this likely would have triggered the idea that the mafia had not yet considered: they could fake-kill one of their own to make them seem less suspicious. Enter Sacrieur, victim number 2. By this theory, Sacrieur is a member of the mafia that was selected to go through this pseudo-confirmation in hopes the town would buy into it.
As for Leeroy, I'm not sure, but it's likely just mafia attempting to shut down town roles at random, which could very well be the case for Sacrieur as well.
Now here's where things get tricky:
Azrael presented the evidence to get BiOAtK lynched, even though he claimed his night action results were tampered with;
nobody should have voted for BiOAtK from this claim. Why the
fuck would you trust that a PM clearly altered by the Megamass Researcher would actually change Azrael's PM to a legitimate mafia murder? Seriously, I want to hear reasoning for this; it blows my mind that you guys lynched Bio. Hell, Bio even said he was being framed! Azrael included that his original target was not Bio, which would be risky for a mafia to make up on the spot if they wanted Bio to actually get lynched, although it turned out that you guys went through with it anyway. My only question is
why? Well, assuming you guys are actually putting thought into your actions, there's one answer I have: the bandwagon was lead by mafia, and the sheep followed. Who started the lynch? Azrael. Keep in mind that Azrael is normally a highly analytical player, and had absolutely no reason to vote for BiO if he truly experienced what he described
and confirmed the tampering's legitimacy with Aristocrat before voting. Wing Zero and Kame immediately followed, but they're sheepy players anyway (and Wing died, so there's that), so it's hard to say if they were in on it.
Sacrieur, on the other hand, has supposedly been confirmed as a townie, or so I've been told despite my initial suspicions of him before I had died.
I like how it still says I'm the Megamass Hacker, too. It makes me wonder why mafia didn't actually use this three-day-death ability on one of their own with a townie role. Maybe they assume you guys would want to lynch me because it "proves" that I'm mafia. At this rate, I don't blame them for trying.
TL;DR:
