COMPREHENSIVE GAME NOTES
DAY PHASE
ONE
Hint Solutions
→ LANKY OR CHEAP : An anagram for Park Chanyeol.
→ TWINKLING : A reference to Girl's Day's popular song, "Twinkle Twinkle." The only Mafia player who's part of Girl's Day is YURA.
→ SCORPIO : YURA is a Scorpio. Also, this makes makes fellow Scorpio KRYSTAL one of the four people hinted at as well.
→ 35 : Adding IU's username numbers together, 8 + 9 + 18 = 35.
→ 26 : If you happened to see her username numbers in a slightly different way, 8 + 9 + 1 + 8 = 26.
→ 21 : Just in case you needed confirmation that those hints indeed pointed to IU, 21 is her current age.
→ GOOD DAY : Found in the Sagittarius section! If you were still unsure about IU, "Good Day" is one of her popular songs.
Players hinted at: CHANYEOL, YURA, KRYSTAL, IU.
Players were told that one is a Mafioso and three are Townies.
Miscellaneous
→ Votes could be changed.
→ The poll was not anonymous.
→ No alignments were revealed.
→ The horoscopes themselves were just for fun.
→ Han Sum Gi = Handsome guy. ^^
→ Yoo Suk = You suck. ^^
→ The content in the Sports section is real. There really was a Chelsea vs. West Bromwich Albion soccer game at Stamford Bridge that day. The only thing that wasn't true in that article was the game time; the game actually started at 3 P.M., but I changed it to 2PM as a reference to these guys~

DAY PHASE
TWO
Hint Solutions
→ ONE : NARSHA
→ TWO : EUNJI
→ THREE : K. JONGHYUN
→ FOUR : YURA
The pictures are - more or less - the opposites of each player's username. 'Ugly' versus 'picturesque,' 'stupid' versus 'wittifuls,' 'quiet' versus 'vocals,' and 'fruit bowl' versus 'barbecue.'
For the note: the number of letters in each suspect's name is the same as the number of words in each gray line. For example, Y-U-R-A has 4 letters, which makes her match with the line "Such a lovely place." Each gray line is paired with the black line directly above it. The black lines indicate alignment; "I can see all obstacles in my way" points toward the Mafia. The other lines all suggest innocence, as they basically paint pictures of clear skies.
The black lines are intentionally up for interpretation so that the Mafia can attempt to mislead the others to protect themselves.
Players hinted at: NARSHA, EUNJI, K. JONGHYUN, YURA.
Players were told that one is a Mafioso and three are Townies.

DAY PHASE
FOUR
Hint Solutions
→ Add the month and day of each player's birthday (ex: for KRYSTAL, 8 + 24 = 34).
→ That number corresponds with the Pokémon's National Pokédex number.
→ For those who had the same number as someone else, I simply added 400 to the guy's number.
All three Mafia members had been hinted at already at this point, so I had to stop the format (1 Mafioso, 3 Townies) of previous Days.
My Notes
From a Townie perspective, it could now be assumed (or someone could have asked and I would have confirmed) that all three Mafiosi had been hinted at. Thus, all the Townies would have had to do now is lynch the listed players one by one per Day until they get all the Mafia. Since not all hinted players had been found from Day Phase 1, starting with Day Phase 2 or 3 would have been best. Really, though, after lynching the first Mafioso, players could then look at who supported that person on previous Days and easily figure out who the remaining Mafiosi were.

DAY PHASE
FIVE
Hint Solution
Everyone's real names were entered into this generator.
Miscellaneous
→ Votes could be changed.
→ The poll was anonymous.
→ No alignments were revealed.
My Notes
→ Reasons why Jinki hyung should not be lynched at this point, from a Townie's perspective: he has been a great asset in regard to solving the hints, which the Townies need to do; he publicly shared his game notes that were logically sound and would most likely result in a Townie win (if he doesn't die, then alternatively, a Serial Killer win); if he were Mafia, doing both of those things would make no sense, even if he were trying to trick people; as far as anyone knows, he hasn't even been hinted at in previous Days, which excludes him from the list of Mafia suspects; even if he were the mysterious last player hinted at in Day Phase 1, it would be better to concentrate on those who were definitely identified already; because he has been such a helpful player and looking at the pattern of previous Mafia kills (helpful players get killed), he should be pinpointed as a very likely Mafia target; and the Mafia probably know that he might be protected during the Night because of this, so getting him lynched is the next best solution.
→ Looking at voting patterns (who voted for who? who didn't vote at all?) also could have greatly helped the Townies. On Days when voting was anonymous, someone could have directly asked people who they voted for. They might lie, but the poll count cannot be faked. If three people claimed to have voted for Person A and there were only two votes in the poll for that person, then one of them was obviously lying.

My Notes
→ From a Townie's perspective: this makes all the players who tried to get Jinki hyung lynched a suspect.
→ Fortunately for the Townies, Jinki hyung just happened to be the Serial Killer. What if he had been the Jailkeeper or Doctor?
→ Jinki hyung's death is unfortunate, at least at this point in the game, for both Townies and Mafia because now he can't kill off members of either side for them. This also made the game last longer than intended.

→ As players were told, each letter stood for another. No letter stood for itself. This kind of puzzle is called a cryptogram.

Miscellaneous
→ There were no hints to be solved.
→ Votes could be changed.
→ The poll was not anonymous.
→ No alignments were revealed.
My Notes
→ All players needed to do this phase was look at the voting patterns to discern Mafiosi from Townies.
→ Jieun and Jonghyun hyung voted for Soojung first. If I were a living Townie, this would automatically tell me that that they're both Mafiosi and Soojung is innocent, because a) I know that I'm innocent, and b) if two others are voting for Soojung, then from process of elimination, that makes her innocent. There is a chance that the Mafia had a strategy to vote for one of their own to fool the Townies and then change their vote(s) last-minute, but since neither Jonghyun hyung nor Jieun bothered to comment nor explain their votes, this becomes highly unlikely.
→ What would have happened if both remaining Townies questioned Jieun and Jonghyun hyung's votes and, subsequently, their alignments?
→ In any case... I'm curious about Narsha noona's thoughts behind her vote.

I'll be adding more to this throughout the next week! I apologize for the length, but I wanted to share everything with you guys in case anyone's curious. It took me a long time to finish this, so it'd be good if at least one person appreciates it, haha. I highly recommend going back to old posts and reading through some of the comment threads again... now you can see them from my point of view. ^^
The filtered Mafia Hangout had a total of 344 comments. They tried to figure out hints away from the public eye.
To everyone who participated a lot and had fun... I'm very thankful. You guys made all the time, thought, and effort I invested into this game worth it!
Thank you for playing!
She was a Townie!
3 players remain, with 2 Mafiosi and 1 Townie.

There is a chance that the Mafia had a strategy to vote for one of their own to fool the Townies and then change their vote(s) last-minute, but since neither Jonghyun hyung nor Jieun bothered to comment nor explain their votes, this becomes highly unlikely.
→ What would have happened if both remaining Townies questioned Jieun and Jonghyun hyung's votes and, subsequently, their alignments?
→ In any case... I'm curious about Narsha noona's thoughts behind her vote.

I'll be adding more to this throughout the next week! I apologize for the length, but I wanted to share everything with you guys in case anyone's curious. It took me a long time to finish this, so it'd be good if at least one person appreciates it, haha. I highly recommend going back to old posts and reading through some of the comment threads again... now you can see them from my point of view. ^^
The filtered Mafia Hangout had a total of 344 comments. They tried to figure out hints away from the public eye.
To everyone who participated a lot and had fun... I'm very thankful. You guys made all the time, thought, and effort I invested into this game worth it!
Thank you for playing!
