You know come to think of it, there was one guy in the corner of the room drenched in sweat. He looked scared as he was tightening his vest. [Laughing] As if someone would outright shoot him in such a public place, right? I shouldn't joke. That's harsh of me, especially with what happened.
Looks like Demon used Paranoia.
Aristocrat killed Inferno, and a Cylon killed Lotus.
Yeah, I think his name was LoTu)S. He seemed nice. Quiet, kept to himself, I guess. I didn't really know much about him. I'd see him occasionally mumbling to himself, but never managed to really talk to him before.
Sounds like Lotus was a regular Crewmember, based on the description given.
I just realized that the Mole can change the Scientist's results. I was only looking at the ability descriptions and it seemed to be about clues, but if you read the Mole's description, it's clear he tampers with Investigates. So:
Inferno tested Stacy Keibler on Night 1 and found out that s(he) was a normal townie. He told me his results after Night 1.
Question: did anyone know Inferno's target before the N1 deadline? If nobody knew, the Mole was probably targeting either you or Aristocrat because of the N1 fiasco, so this result would be somewhat reliable. If someone knew his target, however, that increases the chance that the Cylons knew, which increases the chance of this result being inaccurate.
Of course, right now it seems that Inferno had claimed to you and me, and I'm not sure what kind of Scientist claims to multiple people (as it increases the risk of the Cylons finding out), so this could have been an elaborate setup for Inferno as mafia to gather roles or cover for a teammate.
For the record, Inferno claimed to me at the beginning of the game and asked who he should target (I told him I'd test myself to know if I was the Traitor or not; evidently, he didn't follow my advice). He hadn't said anything to me beyond that initial PM. I wasn't sure if I could trust his claim, so I was asking in the thread for the Scientist to proxy their results for someone else to post. He never messaged me about it; I don't know if that indicates his innocence or guilt (maybe he was concerned of another/the actual Scientist to come forward?).
HOWEVER:
Right, yeah. I remember seeing lil-Inferno that night, too. I asked him how he was doing, and he just said he was in a hurry and couldn't talk. I later read in the report that when he was found, his hand was positioned in such a way that he was holding something when he was killed. I gather whatever he was holding was taken by whoever killed him.
Based on this, it sounds like Inferno was, in fact, a Scientist. The thing in his hand was a blood sample that he was going to test. No other role would die with something supposedly in their hand.
The reason Inferno died was because he failed to claim his absurdly powerful role when we asked him to, intentionally depriving the town of useful information. With claims from many other people and a refusal to cooperate from Inferno, he was a logical next target. This is what you get for not cooperating with the town; if you have a power role but have not yet claimed to Roy or me, claim now, or you risk ending up like Inferno when the town reaches the process of elimination stage.
And the Vigilante(s) shouldn't kill anyone until that stage is reached. If you're not sure on your target, don't even think about killing them.
On to the clues:
<Transcript begins mid-interview>
This is post #206. Post #103 is by Observer12425. It's unlikely that this would be the actual clue given how any new posts could ruin it, but there was a fair amount of time between the last post and Devlin's, so it's a possibility.
If you want to go simpler, the midpoint of the player list is between lil-Inferno and Aristocrat.

Well yeah. [Laughing] Of course I went to the bar again. If I was going to find those Cylon bastards myself, I might as well start at the local watering hole. It was just like the prior evening for the most part. We had heard that three people were killed on Galactica, but no deaths on our ship until that point. Maybe we were just overly optimistic. Maybe we jinxed it.
Sounds like a regular opening to me, setting up the scene. Do you think Devlin is stealing my idea of making a player be the narrator of the game posts?
Jinxed -> Jynx. Not sure if a Pokemon reference points to anyone (I remember Lotus had one of a female trainer for a long time, but, well, he's dead).
I saw a bunch of the same faces. She was there again that night. The woman from earlier, looking better than ever. Some sap was drooling all over her, buying her drinks all night. He seemed to lose track of time after a while.
The Seductress actually targeted someone this night.
I don't blame him. I wonder if he got lucky? Probably not. What a sucker.
Although this part was an unnecessary addition to the description there, so it probably contains a clue to who the Seductress is. The only thing that comes to mind (which someone else actually pointed out to me first) is that TiKels has been talking profusely about women in the Shoutbox.
You know come to think of it, there was one guy in the corner of the room drenched in sweat. He looked scared as he was tightening his vest. [Laughing] As if someone would outright shoot him in such a public place, right? I shouldn't joke. That's harsh of me, especially with what happened.

INTERVIEWER:
What happened?
[TC 05:29:35;23]
[Sighs] I, uh, remember seeing that same guy talking to someone else earlier that day. At the tribunal. Someone who didn't make it. Maybe that's why he was sweating? I don't know.
The Vigilante uses Paranoia.
[TC 05:30:57;11]
INTERVIEWER:
Who was he talking to? The first victim?
[TC 05:31:10;21]
Yeah, I think his name was LoTu)S. He seemed nice. Quiet, kept to himself, I guess. I didn't really know much about him. I'd see him occasionally mumbling to himself, but never managed to really talk to him before.
The Vigilante was talking to Lotus earlier that day, apparently. I assume this means nothing other than to tie the death into the narrative.
[TC 05:32:00;28]
INTERVIEWER:
What about the other victim?
[TC 05:31:10;21]
Right, yeah. I remember seeing lil-Inferno that night, too. I asked him how he was doing, and he just said he was in a hurry and couldn't talk. I later read in the report that when he was found, his hand was positioned in such a way that he was holding something when he was killed. I gather whatever he was holding was taken by whoever killed him.
Seems like it's only describing the Scientist's death.
You guys mind if we take a break for a bit?
Yeah, not sure if break is an actual clue or just a recurring request in the night posts. If you remember, I mentioned there being a lot of mentions of breaks in the first night post, but I don't know if it means anything.

Transcribed by the same number as the first night post, for those curious to know.
I looked out at the stars tonight. I dreamt of flying through the sun, feeling that energy, feeling so alive. Can machines even dream? I dreamed a dream, so rare, so sweet a dream. Sometimes I feel as if we are, in fact, more alive. Who are they to decide that we can't feel, that we can't love? I feel more than these humans can comprehend. I feel anger.

Dreams could be referring to a number of players, like payne's
farewell topic or Kame's
response topic to that. While trying to find the
weird dream topic (by Tempz, who isn't playing), I stumbled upon
this post from Kame saying she will dream about butterflies, which ties into the flying part of the post as well.
The blocked out name is six characters. Player 5 is LoTu)S (dead). The players that have six characters in their names are LoTu)S (dead), TiKels, and BiOAtK, with honorable mentions to OlimarandLouie and poison_us, as most people call them simply by "Olimar" and "poison" respectively.
