An Advanced Mind Shield could be turned off for a night (as could a regular Tech mindshield, but not a natural one). However, that would have to be stated without knowing whether or not they'll be targeted that night.
That's sensical.  Makes it rather worthless for Zathras to target Leafsnail though. Hmm. 

I'm right there with you on Toaster, hard to test for, though; less so on Leaf, but it's certainly plausible.
Not really hard to test, if he was lying he's the last Dopp.  Just block him or lynch him tomorrow.
Well, yeah; if Arg flips town that is a valid test. I rather meant it would be hard to test if Arg flips as the last dopp, as we all seem to think he will.
But if he flips Dopp, that means that Toaster isn't.  It'd be really stupid at this point for town to lie, so that'd mean that he's the Exterminator.  In which case, he didn't lie on any case except maybe Dariush being his Operative, because the rest were confirmed by who would then have to be town.  And if that's the case, then we can theoretically lynch/block Toaster. If the game doesn't end with his death then Dariush is the Operative...

Well, if I'm not getting blocked tonight, I do know who I am investigating.  I'll PM the name to someone I trust in the night.

Quick note, since rereading that I can see a part that could cause confusion.

Advanced Mind Shields require that the person has a natural mind shield. If an Advanced Mind Shield is turned off it reverts to the basic natural mind shield.

I would actually suggest that everyone (well, the people with night actions) do this if they don't mind.  Basically, it will give us a way to still get some information if they die and can allow us to keep them at least somewhat honest.

Meph, the Exterminator Mind Shield is classified as a natural one then, right?

There would be no reason for the Exterminator to ever turn off his Advanced Mind Shield.

KaminaSquirtle, if I were the Exterminator, why would I claim Kook? Of aaaaaaall potential roles I could choose, why would I pick the worst one ever?
It seriously looks like you could've copied this from the mafiascum wiki page for "WIFOM" then added then added in the relevant details.

The answer is very simple: So you'd be able to say

I mean, if you have a modulator, you can make yourself appear as any role.  If you don't, well, you're screwed if you're inspected whatever role you chose, so why not pick a super-WIFOM one?

With clever editing I could say the exact same thing about your role. I mean, Survivor with a Mind Shield just screams Exterminator trying to fake claim.

One more, then: Meph, does the alien survivor get a natural mind shield?

They can, but it's not guaranteed.

Yeah, but I haven't been WIFOMing my ass off about it in the same way you have.

C'mon, end the day already! I have stuff I need to go do, but I don't want to miss the roleflip! It's not like there's a lot of discussion that would be cut off; we're talked out, and night actions will depend on the flip.

Sorry, just being impatient...

The Whiteboard
Argembarger: JanusTwoface, Jim Groovester, KaminaSquirtle, Leafsnail, Toaster, Zathras
Jim Groovester : Dariush


  Kamina picks up the shotgun and turns to face Argembarger.

  "Sorry. I...uh...really hope you're dopp!" he stammers out.

  "I hate you all" hisses Argembarger. As Kamina levels the shotgun he rushes forward. Kamina yelps and staggers backwards as Arg slashes at him, long talons sprouting from his fingertips.

  Kamina smashes him in the face with the butt of the shotgun. The monster growls in pain, clutching at it's face. Moving quickly Kamina then fires off the gun into its belly.

  The smooth face of a doppelganger is revealed as Argembarger slumps to the ground.

  "I hope the aliens fry you all" he burbles, dark blood flowing down from his mouth. "If I could, I'd kill you all myself.".

  "Oh, shut up" Kamina blasts him in the head with the shotgun. "Vengeful creature, wasn't it?" He asks, looking a bit shaken up.

  Happy, relieved, and a bit shocked at how the day ended you all head off for home. The nightmare is almost over. Assuming you live long enough to deal with the final threat, at least.

 You gather again, the few of you that are left.

 KaminaSquirtle, however, fails to show up. Glumly you head off towards his house.

 The place is empty. His door was unlocked, but there are no signs of him or any struggle inside. Strange. Looking around you do find some clues as to what he did. Lots of pictures of him in a security uniform, and even a few ‘Employee of the year’ placards hanging up on the wall. Reading one of them, you see that he was known for being a very Observant Guard.

  Zathras speaks up. "I...may now know where he died". He leads you back to his house.

  There on the ground behind his house you find the body of KaminaSquirtle. He has a large hole burned through his chest, and a look of fear on his face.

  "I'll explain when we get back." He says, sadly.

   Sighing at the loss of such an upstanding citizen you head back to the courthouse.

And I would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for that meddling chains flavor!

Bla-bla-bla ethereal chains wrap around your limbs bla-bla-bla
Hey, proof enough that I'm not exty?

So, the list of suspicions boils down to JTF, Toaster and Leafsnail.
Toaster, what did you find out?
