mafia should have picked one of the claimed hider targets which makes the odds of picking seanzie fairly likely. There are probably reasons they chose him over other people though.
If they believed his self hype then he called for the targeting himself. Picking a player with multiple claims also looks good from a Mafia pov because you literally increase your chances of getting the hider in a secondary kill there.

Honestly I'm not surprised the hider ate it early regardless that it was Kreaal. But also especially because it was Kreaal. As I was saying yesterday but didn't elaborate on because why give Mafia strategy ideas if they didn't have them in the first place even though I consider this one to be a no brainer (no offense Ex), but there were three ways for the hider to die each night. The first two are stated in the OP. The third is Mafia simply hitting the hider. "But numbs, the OP says they can't do that while hiding" you may be saying to yourself right now but that's simply not true. As Rag and I contended yesterday the fake check the roleblocker can supply is almost a waste of effort for that role. Ex even said essentially he felt the role was almost worthless yesterday (make a note here). But with some basic following the NK every night, you turn your NK into a strongarm kill that kills the hider every time if they get chance targeted. Given this utility I see Ex's post on the roleblocker as possible diminishing of his own role as a value target. In this format such a play would be irrelevant, although standard playing habits are hard to break.
Seanzie was right yesterday in that I specifically didn't talk about strategy in my post. What he doesn't seem to realize is that in this format it's a better reaction troll to get wolves talking about that than trying to emotionally check players. Wolves aren't going to put out an optimal strategy for town, they are going to put out one that sounds good but still provides some benefit/utility for them. That's why I specifically brought up strategy for hunting but didn't give specific examples. The more you immediately eliminate the less rope you hand over for somebody to hang themselves with.
Vote: Fext
I'm going to continue my voting philosophy for now, with Fext being a prime example of strategy that sounds good on paper but actually benefits Mafia when employed. I also feel like he was extremely vote hoppy EoD kinda like he didn't care who went over but that is straight from memory so I'll have to review that. I also want to look into minish. I feel like her ATE was very reminiscent of SMM3 where she was town but something keeps pinging my brain with a
Hey! Listen!
) that prolly skyrocketed seanzie in their priority
