I'm going to look like a jackass with my 100 percent Squiggs is mafia stuff but I've changed my mind.

When the first day vote is looking like inactivity might be the biggest reason to go for someone, Starseed "randomly" picks bizaro86 as the suspect. If Baxter (Aeneas) was just inactive, which we now know he was, trying to get the bizaro86 train started before Baxter's makes sense.
Next day, Timbo votes for Girlysports and Starseed follows but the vote at the time was 6-2 in favour of GP_Matt so it wasn't exactly a huge vote and it's quickly changed to ECF after Girlysports reveals her invitation.
The invitation reject seems to have the opposite effect that Girlysports was going for. All of a sudden she's facing a decent amount of pressure but Starseed doesn't jump back on board and even helps to confirm some of the invitation stuff.
Then there's this:

Posted exactly the same time. Planned?
That vote goes no where.
Aeneas comes in as relief for Baxter and Starseed sends him the joke vote and asks what's taking so long reading the mafia thread. Aeneas throws a joke vote back at Starseed. We might have been being taunted here.
So on day 2 Puxlut and Starseed send out 'useless' votes for the 2 mafia members. A way of distancing themselves?
In their defense, in twilight they do list Girlysports as one of the 3 suspects along with GGG and Delgar. So they are no longer batting 0.
But at this point the MOT have listed GGG as a suspect twice while Starseed was putting him on his own town list. Starseed had checked Wood and confirmed he was town but didn't put him on his town list. Secret had already appeared and was giving false information (saying GGG didn't target anyone while GGG actually used his power on Puxlut, the suggestion that the Twilight thread can be used to talk to the dead).
We also get one of the first mentions of Puxlut being a recruiter from GGG:

Starseed reveals MOT and there's a couple weird things. First he wants us to target people who revealed early. Mazrim had already confirmed there was no issue in revealing (including encouraging it) before anyone revealed.
When Starseed is questioned why Wood was left off his townie list (by me) it's Girlysports who defends:

Puxlut, still keeping up the charade that she isn't part of MOT posts this:

I was tempted to reveal my power (but now seeing how you're getting piled on, I don't think I will... a dead town person isn't a helpful townsperson)
Who ever said I have a sense of humour: thanks! I like to think I'm funny
I still don't see specific reasons for GS? All the accusations are getting messed up for me.
Oling is so aggressive! Holy cow! It's good to be digging and asking questions... but really. You take it to a new level. You hassled Delgar too about voting for me. I'm the one he voted for and I didn't get upset as much as you!!!???
Maybe Squiggs and Rathji are the recruiters? They don't post alot. Maybe they are too busy sending out invites.

Multiple people start point out that the connection between Starseed, Puxlut and Girlysports:

Go back and look at the MOT success rate for pushing us to look into townies and how many have been eliminated. I think they have also been trying to throw us off by listing one of their own that never gets enough attention or votes, that person is girlysports. That is also why despite the MOT's saying we should look into her she just stated she believes starseed is town. You want to find the scum, start looking at the people trying to steer attention away from starseed. Seriously, I am not sure how anyone can not look back and not see the pattern there. Those three I am pretty sure are scum, I have a few others I am suspicious of as well.

Puxlut had also wanted us to reveal what the cop and doctor should do at night, again the only benefit of that is to the mafia so they can plan ahead.

The thing with Girlysports is her "trying to confuse the mafia" the same tactic that Starseed is trying to employ now it seems. Starseed not being honest to the town, whether that's leaving off known townies from his townie list, or suggesting the MOT aren't part of this game, just seems like a way to confuse. But the mafia know what is happening, they wont be fooled, they thrive on confusion. She also got the Guardian invite at an opportune time and Starseed was able to confirm most of what it said (while distancing himself from her)
Puxlut's post about trying to decide what the doctor/cop should do has bothered me. Even starseed admits it's a terrible tactic for the town. She seemed like she was fishing for information about the cop from Timbo. I don't believe this is first game naivety. It was already explained why trying to dictate what the cop/doctor do isn't good before she suggested we decide what the cop/doctor do in the twilight thread yesterday. Trying to find out what night timbo found out who the cop was seems mafia oriented as it doesn't do the town any good.
Ever since Starseed's reveal it seemed like a push to get the cop to do what they wanted. Suggesting they investigated starseed or his partner, etc. etc. While overlooking the abilities to redirect or that some mafia members could show up town, see who visited starseed/partner etc. And of course the push away from lynch resulted in another reveal which was bad for town.
Then there's just the powers, why did Starseed and his partner get so many and why is an anonymous vote a good thing? Starseed has also pushed a lot for there being 2 factions (probably serial killer and mafia) but it's 2 nights in a row that only 1 player died. Possible he's not wrong, but seems like another way to cause confusion.

You have long been my number one target for mafia. Coming out so strong and then of late cooling it down. Almost like you got some advice.

Aeneas trying to steer us onto GGG when his mafia friends are under pressure?
Wood asks Girlysports if she's MOT2:

I'll never understand the mafia doesn't know what we know thing. They do know everything the average townie knows, plus more. That's the game. Informed vs uninformed. The only thing we can keep secret is our powers, and things we individually learn from our powers
|
Lots of people have started making the connection between Girlysports, Starseed and Puxlut.
There's still the question on why the 'masons' have received so many powers in the first place.
One thing that I've always had a problem wrapping my head around, even when I thought Starseed was town was this:

This was when there was an effort to get the cop to investigate Starseed/partner. Starseed is just too smart not to consider the mafia have abilities.
Plus there's this:

I tracked Starseed, he target me.
