Well, I'll take a lot of blame for this one, I was a pretty crappy village leader and I won't deny it. Although, the ability to gain information in this game was extremely limited, especially since Caboose lost his item N0, Hydrattler lost his item N1, and Rare was arrested N1. So right off the bat we were in the dark. I had my BG item during the times that it didn't matter at all, then had it stolen shortly before I was arrested.
Arresting LS, ifm, and quagsires were all unfortunate. But in my defense for at least quags: penguin claimed his item was stolen, and then quags told me that he had that item. I didn't see any other option at the time.
Also I got moled by every member of the mafias bar GS and YayTears, but I really didn't have too much info besides item locations, and those I didn't give away (too much).
Oh well, gg. Please no one let me be village leader next game :(
