first, look at the list of dead players:
Spoiler:
after one mafia member fell day 1, disaster struck on night 1 and night 2. town's tracker ended up getting a guilty two nights in a row. the guiltied scum were in a relatively good position, one of them was being cleared on the basis of being a neighbour with a flipped scum, and they were also an activated ascetic that ended up not activating on the night he got guiltied.
another issue was that by the time shea was guiltied, gimli had already locked himself into his claim - nailsmith, a role that can forge a vig shot on one night, then vend that vig shot to another player.
gimli was not able to multitask.
so - asri, misty, and black's deaths?those were vig shots. gimli was forced into no-killing multiple nights in a row just to keep his claim alive and not be outed as scum. it took over a month from shea's execution for the game to end.
and he did it. the madman did it. going from being heavily suspected in the early days, to pocketing just about everyone alive. even at endgame, when mechanics were heavily pointing towards him, his towniness made town come up with incredible mechanical reasons for why someone else is scum, from traitor jailkeepers to multitasking public messengers to odd-night killing traitors and whatever else was there. morning tweet was voted out while there was a hard inno result claimed on her.
Gimli, the dwarf, with a gleam in his eyes,
His teammates were gone, taken out by surprise,
But Gimli still stood, determined and wise.
With cunning and wit, he played the game well,
Fooling the others with a convincing sell,
He laid out his case, with a confident spell,
And in the end, the town believed him well.
With a scummy award, he was crowned,
Gimli's victory was profound,
A lone wolf, but not unbound,
A master of Mafia, to be renowned.
So let us all cheer for Gimli, the one,
Who played with skill and got the job done,
He proved that in Mafia, even when alone,
Victory is possible, with a heart like stone.
Which is to say:
