The plan, after Melo got suspected, was to make it a fight between Melo and JBF and to wait for the D to show up and try to save JBF. We knew that JBF was investigated.
JBF was our #1 target for recruitment, simply because he was a confirmed C.
But plans rarely work with this group. If you check again, the detective Rab wasn't even here in the hour before the deadline, nor he was here after the deadline. If JBF risked lynching, the D wasn't gonna be here to save him.
That's why sometimes it's better not to think with your head but with the head of the average mafia player. An average mafia player will kill Hoori and an average mafia player will be fooled into not voting for me even if I was the prime suspect when Melo is confirmed a G.
P.S: Plus, you knew I was a G, they didn't. Different perspective.
