With a big game, and at this rate, and knowing Victor- he is probably already doomed to be the first lynch.
The thing about mafia is that cases aren't handed to us, they're noticed and brought to attention as a result of discussion. While the case against victor may have been light, the people who leapt to his attack or defense reveal useful information.
People have singled out streaker on that short bandwagon, but I think that's simplifying the issue and downplaying the role of others. More interestingly I find commander9's quick defence of victor. He was at 4 votes and not in any real danger, but commander quickly defended him perhaps afraid of a quick bandwagon escalating. This could be due to anarkists theory that he is trying to get into town's graces by loudly protecting a townie, but it could be a more basic need to protect a teammate, perhaps a more important one.
Other interesting leads I've found is falkomagno's skimming evident of his response to freezie's vote on vio, perhaps his query about freezie's seriousness is him testing whether vio is in trouble or not, I hardly see reason why someone would single out a single vote on a random person and demand whether it's serious.
Also vio has been quite interesting as well. She's been fairly active but also going through the motions, quickly accepting victor's lynch as inevitable and doesn't that intersted in offering her own opinion to discussions or changing the course of the discussion. Almost as if she only wants town to go about and lynch whoever and go to night.
Small and fairly weak leads for now, but still fairly interesting by now. I've noticed a few early connections such as commander- victor and vio-falko, but that could also be due to the nature of the theme of the game. Considering how much the movies, especially by the third one, had complicated manipulative systems where characters relied and used others, and the tangle of romantic interests it's quite possible for a number of connections.
edit: about anarkists theory that people are misunderstanding. He's saying that commander's logic is that to pick to defend someone who he knows is town aligned, since he isn't part of his mafia, and to defend him vigorously. Then kill that person off, to prove his pro-town alignment and therefore associate himself with him and hopefully that the others will assume his town nature because of that.

: in Buffy Commander9 also jumped into insane defense mode and protected Nark like a long lost love. I think his strategy is based on: 
Read carefully what I have written and you will see that I claim nothing of the sort.
, but I have to ask: Since when is Scotland in Eastern Europe? Have you guys been demoted or something?
