I went back and read through Mr. Ultracool and Blwiikoon.
Bluwiikoon actually came out looking better to me than when I went in. At first I was thinking only about the fact that he was involved in two kind of "huh" incidents for me, the thing with him/Ultracool/VM and the thing with Tofu, so maybe there was something there. Reading back through, though, he was really very tangentially involved in these incidents. The biggest thing was potentially helping Tofu out by presenting her with a plausible claim, but that does read to me as him trying to figure things out rather than trying to cover for her. At this point I actively do not want to lynch him.
Ultracool continued to puzzle me on the second read-through. His statements about his role seemed to weirdly shift over time, from his initial post where he says that his role gives him essentially zero info, to later posts where he's practically screaming, "I AM AN INFOROLE, PLEASE KILL ME." Weird comments about "well I can't tell alignments," "except oops maybe actually I could," "if I just meet that one condition..." (Maybe another case of misreading the role PM and figuring things out later, but the presentation is very strange to me.) He keeps trying really hard to figure out a way to give information back to Town if he watched himself and was killed by the Mafia even though people keep pointing out what a bad plan that is. I could imagine a (very non-standard) Town role that would fit with his play here, but that is obviously getting wildly speculative. It may just be that he's not familiar with how watchers tend to be effective, it may just be he thought of this Mafia-killing-me thing and thinks it's great and is kind of stuck on it (or was... afraid of being blocked or something if he didn't go with it after people told him not to?), but to me it just looks like he has some other goal in mind than using his ability to help Town. It is tripping me up a bit that his play strikes me as way more 3p than outright Mafia, which... if there are Mafia, we could potentially still have one or maaaaybe two 3p still floating around out there, but it's starting to get a bit weird.
To me, it just feels like I have to work much harder to envision a situation where Ultracool's Town than where Tofu's Town. Unless something dramatic happens, I'm going to go with Mr. Ultracool today. (Although I see votes are shifting, why must this always happen so close to the end of the day.)
I know bruh moment asked me a question earlier. I'll go back and look for that...
