Okay, all caught up. I also got ninja'd a couple of times while I was in a hurry.
@Nectar:
@Everyone Please tell me why you specifically choose the two people to investigate? And who do you suspect today and why?
SUDK, because I didn't remember him saying much and want to make sure he's not a Mafia trying to fly under the radar.
Galaxy, because he's one of the people I'm keeping a closer eye on besides those listed in the next paragraph. I'll explain more about that below, since your specific question to me was the same as this one that you asked to everyone.
I literally started laughing out loud yesterday when I read Femme and Space as your suggested names, because when I read the first part of that–about naming two people--they were the first two I thought of, and you yourself were the third. For those same reasons, too: because the three of you were the most active and the clearest leaders of the group. That made you the people that, if we have some kind of investigative role in this game, I'd be most interested in having investigated, because having one of our leaders of the group be scum is going to make it that much easier to persuade the group to make wrong decisions, and that much harder to win. And sure enough, already one of those was, indeed, scummy.
But, after you named those guys specifically, I figured there was already going to be quite a bit of spotlight on both of them (and sure enough, we know at least Femme was targeted, though whether because of the idea being planted there or because they would have done so anyway for also similar reasons, who knows). And on you, too, because of how active you were. So I figured I'd name/draw attention to some other players instead.

@Nectar:
@Faith Please tell me your biggest suspect so far and why?
I wouldn't say I'm highly (as in, lynch-level) suspicious of anyone at this moment, but I have a couple that are higher up there that need addressing. To elaborate more on my notable suspicions of Galaxy, I actually wasn't basing my naming him as a target on today's posts, since I put his name down before refreshing and seeing most of them, and the one directly above mine straight-up ninja'd me from my perspective since I forgot to refresh again. Just sort of a vague feeling of "Well, besides the people already listed, Galaxy's somebody whom we've heard a lot from but I still feel like I don't know where he stands, so sure, I'll go with him." Some of his posts today did nothing to quell those suspicions, like how him really seeming interested in the possibility of a forger (which was something I personally hardly considered, since it just felt to me like a very unlikely option) led me to wonder if he was trying to be intentionally misleading; that said, I haven't found his explanations of those things to be _un_satisfactory for the time being.
And then, while I feel a little bad for saying this, one player I'm looking at extra closely right now is No Swords. No Swords, I do totally understand that you're new and still learning, and I'm not trying to pick on you. But at the same time, I hope you understand when I say that we also can't just disregard you as a potential threat because of that, either. Looking through it again, not one single person out of any of the 7 rest of us named No Swords as one of our two targets, and that concerns me. It seems to suggest that we're all treating No Swords as being beneath suspicion because he's a new player, and that's something that we cannot afford to do.
So, @No Swords, I really want to hear your thoughts and observations about this game so far. In addition to Nectar's question to everyone about who their suspects are (which I also especially want to hear what you think about that), if there's anyone in particular that you aren't suspicious of for certain reasons, or anyone you're kind of befuddled by and not sure what to think, or even just any other things about the game or players' behaviors that stick out to you. One difference that you have from us is that, since we've played a whole bunch of games together, we often can't help but think at least slightly "meta" on some level (i.e. basing your thoughts about the current game on experiences from previous games, e.g. "This player usually acts this way when they play, but now they're behaving differently, so I'm suspicious of them!" or "The last time that player was Mafia, they were doing the same thing they're doing in this game, so maybe they're Mafia again!"). You're fresh and unbiased in that respect, and hearing thoughts from such a person could be very refreshing and helpful.

@SomebodyUDon'tKnow:
I don't know what constitutes 'easy pick', or what makes Faith one, but I'm not sure why she got as many targeters as she did.
I'm curious about this myself. I, like Nectar, wouldn't be surprised if at least one of these people targeted me for real (assuming Townies are able target during the Night at all), and as long as I'm not targeted by a Mafia coming to kill me, I don't have anything to worry about with people actually visiting me. Still curious for the reasoning behind it for those people, somewhat, of course, but definitely moreso for the ones whose reports are fake. Especially the later ones. Granted, it could be for similar reasons as some of the other targets: they looked at me because I hadn't talked much, or Nectar because he has talked a lot. But it could also easily be bandwagoning. "Oh, look, Nectar and Faith are both getting a lot of mentions, if I name one/both of them, people will be less likely to question it because of how many others are doing it, too!" In fact, two of the people I named above, SUDK and No Swords, had Nectar and me as their two targets, though at the time No Swords made his report, only one other person had named each of us.
And of course, that could also be a coincidence. I'm filing the info away, but naturally, I don't see it as being as suspicious as it would have been if it were all these people bandwagoning on a lynch wagon instead.
