Emilio Barzini has been the Cult Leader or we are all Cult and Nag just forgot to PM me.

Seriously guys, who here thinks that we should be looking for Michael Corleone and who thinks that Cult Leader still exists?
Personally, although I really can't see how could Cult Leader still exist, I am reluctant to go all out after Michael since he doesn't seem like much of a threat with LSU and Talapus Mason pair. On the other hand, perhaps LSU isn't Mother but Father to Talapus and Neotany.
FOS LSU
Let's rationalize (again).
1) We KNOW there is still mafia out there, because there have been kills nights 5 and 6. However, there was no night kill on night 7.
2) The ONLY two explanations for the mafia's kills failing are a) they chose a bulletproof target (Flores) or b) the doc (ani) protected the right person. No other roles have been claimed that can prevent a night kill.
3) Flores claimed bulletproof day 7. It would be very unlikely mafia targeted her on night 7. Thus, ani must be telling the truth and protected me from a night kill. This excludes him and myself from the list of potential mafia members.
4) So far, 7 mafia members have died. The game started with 35 players. Having at least 10/35 players mafia is not an unreasonable number. This means - assuming the Barzini's have died out or only have 1 recruit left - we could be at lynch or lose with 3 mafia members out of 8 players. Mandy's promise to claim tomorrow if we lynch Militant also has al sorts of alarm bells going off in my head warning me that we could be at lynch or lose.
5) If there are indeed 3 remaining mafia players left, they would have to be Mandy, Flores and Tonka. Tonka is the one we're most sure of, because his relation with exile already exposed him as such. He should be the lynch for today.
I'm not trying to convince those three of my case, this speech is mainly addressing LSU, Talapus, Militant and most importantly Animorpherv because he seems to be buying into Mandy's words. Please look back at the points I just mentioned and look at Mandy and Flores now ganging up to lynch Militant. Whatever you do, don't put Militant at L-1 or Tonka will be happy to hammer for the win.
