I doubt Mazrim is openly protecting one side over another.

I've really been mulling over the star thing in the chat. I know that Mazrim came in and said not to over think it, but then why step in at all. If the stars were truely not a sign of mafia, I don't see why Mazrim would say anything. The intervention, to me, makes it more likely that the theory is true (mafia had a star on their name as they were previously logged in from the mafia chat).

Let me preface this by saying I think Mazrim's got a great game going for us so far (Thanks Mazrim!), but the frantic feelings of the twilight chats can make someone say something on a whim, even our CP gamemater. I don't think Mazrim was trying to protect one side or the other intentionally, but may have done so accidently.

If the stars mean nothing, then Mazrim's comment would help the town out (by not misleading us). If the stars are indicitive of mafia, then Mazrim's comment would help out the mafia. Either way, one side was benefited by the comment. Again, I am not saying Mazrim did it intentionally to help one side or the other.

I'm going to run back and read over Timbo and Starseed’s game sometime today (from the beginning) and see how mafia-slanted their actions are. I realize the stars may be a red herring, but I feel like I have nothing else to go on at this point.
