Spoiler for Hidden:
After reading this, I made some thoughts and told them Sub, but after this post I will share them officially.
There are two cases: I am Mafia or I am not. Let's look at both.
a) I am mafia.
Taking the pill: Confirming a vigilant I am mafia. I can still claim he lies, but at least one civvy knows my identity now.
Not taking the pill: Looking suspicious, but not confirmed as mafia. I can still claim I feared a death pill or something, or I simply forgot to tell Kuro I take it. Also, I could say the Pharmacist was lying about me not taking the pill.
b) I am vigilante.
Taking the pill: Confirming myself civvy if the Pharmacist was civvy, a mafia would've known I am already via Search.
Not taking the pill: Looking suspicious, fearing a lynch if the Pharmacist got confirmed in some way.
So, in short: It is stupid for a criminal to take a light pill - it will immediately prove him mafia, while he could argue if he hadn't taken it, or claiming the Pharmacist was lying.
I'd like to simplify the case here. I kept poking you to take the pill and i even told you that it's a light pill and you are too active to pretend that you didn't see any of my pokes. So in reality, not taking the pill would have been the scum move, and you had no real decision here regardless of your faction.

Another note on Ruta:
Back when he gave me an
pill, which I took on request of Sub, he didn't vote by himself, not revealing himself as a Pharmacist giving away suspicious pills. That he actually targetted me with this pill may have been a fluke, but he also may have known I have double voting power, trying to get my vote on a good target for mafia. However, when he realized what was going on, he kept himself out of it - despite Sub asking everyone to vote, so he didn't follow town's interest here.
Also, he didn't do anything for town until realizing he looked suspicious, trying to claim himself civvy. Of course, his light pill gave him a very useful option to get a civvy killed by simply lying about the result, and listening to Sub was another try "helping" town not to get shot self.
Yeah, i already pointed out the
pill in my original post. The only real suspicion factor here is that a civvy Pharmacist who wanted to win the game should have sent a
pill at least once. However, a mafia Pharmacist should have sent
pills too to find other mafia earlier. He might have avoided it though in fear of being stalked.
The third option seemed the most logical, where Ruta was a refugee, but then why would he claim civ? This is 1 point of suspicion to Ruta.
Helping town when needed is something you both did when we asked you.

And if you kill the civvy, you lost.
I was active from the early beginning, tried to help whereever I could - yeah, first mafia, a bit hype - especially when there was almost no one else Sub could ask for some thoughts, because most people are inactive. As mafia, I could have just sit back the entire time, like Ruta or Root did, and then suddenly appearing not earlier than I am getting in trouble. Not sure what you need to be more suspicious than that.
The fact that I couldn't send these nice pills and so on is basically because I can't. But I used my extra voting power always for town, and always asked either Sub or jcj on who to target, and never failed. Unlike Ruta, who ruined town's plans on purpose at least once in that entro pill situation.
And Root claiming town, then being inactive while saying "oh I don't care, do whatever you want" and when he is targetted, he suddenly admits he was lying the whole time, but he has that role that allows him to hide so we don't "waste" our vote? I mean, seriously.
Another note: Hitmen, please be aware of the possibility of a mafia Security Guard.
Your first 2 points lead us back to my previous statement. Ruta already has a suspicion point for inactivity and not using his roles, AKA helping when he could.
The last point only brings the suspicion on Root. In fact, if Root is mafia, we could just kill him tonight. It doesn't matter who we kill, it only matters that our target must be mafia.
