You might be overcomplicating the game.
True, I guess I am. With me wondering still about Asprin's last post, what kind of battle it would have been?
Conventionally, Mafia choose a target, cop investigates( worst case does fire a shot due to this theme ) and doctor saves. Word "long battle" doesn't fit here. It's straight forward hit or miss on both sides.
First night - Lot of discussion/talking, shot was fired and missed.
Day 2 - FP had to have Rudolph killed through lynch to collect debt and give to his master. As Rudolph was terminated in unexpected way, FP's condition changed.
Second night- they didn't find any solid, people thought they can attack Asprin from front, but did secret attack and went for long time defeating Asprin. Since it was secretly attacked, Asprin did not know who it was ( as he addressed whoever it was in his last post ).
Common thing on both nights - attack was launched. This is confirming that it was mafia who fired shots on night 1 as well and they were successful on night 2. Also it is making me to feel that mafia is having to find correct person with clue for something(
referring to word, they didn't find anything solid. Perhaps map like thing to find Jedi ).
This whole debt collecting thing is not fitting relevant to happenings of nights and it feels isolated to me at the least. What if Rudolph was the person with that clue and FP is lying here? What if win condition earlier was to get the clue from Rudolph after killing him through lynch. I am now having doubts on FP, simply because debt collecting is not fitting these whole scenarios happening.
