The more I think about it, the weirder Synkarin's claim becomes, and the more suspicious too. All we know for certain is that he can't vote today; everything else is unverifiable at the moment. We can't confirm for certain why he can't vote, we can't confirm that his lack of vote is permanent, and we definitely can't confirm that he's Buddha.
By claiming that he's only in it to achieve enlightenment and that he permanently gave up his ability to vote to reach it, Synkarin removed himself as a target for everybody. the Gods shouldn't bother voting for him since he's not going to go after them, the Monsters can safely ignore him for the time being since his objective won't impede theirs, and third parties can ignore him to pursue their own goals. He has, for all intents and purposes, admitted to playing a single player game.
...which is just what a mass murdering psycomonster would want you to think, isn't it?!
If you flip it around though, a lack of voting power is a rather simple thing to detect. It'd be silly if it were that easy to detect the monsters.
That's not to say his claim isn't a bit weird (for instance, his role would, for all intents and purposes, mean he's not actually playing Mafia, but rather just watching it and commenting on it every now and then), but then again, if he lied about his vote being taken away permanently, well, it'll become obvious tomorrow.
Plus, it's entirely possible he'll get a new shiny town-friendly power if he reaches enlightenment. From what I've gathered, he doesn't even know himself what'll happen, so it can't really be discounted.
I'm not really going to try to convince anyone to not vote for him though. As I said, his claim is a bit weird. For now, though, personally I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Yes, the lack of voting power is easy to detect, the reason WHY he lost the ability to vote is unverified. If we go by his explanation, then he isn't playing the game anymore as explained in my last post. If he temporarily gave up his ability vote to kill Luce, however, he's still a threat. Basically, I don't think that the Buddha role as explained makes much sense game-wise, and that makes me suspicious.
If I were a monster/3rd party that had to give up a power to kill someone
a) if it's a permanent thing (which it is, but lets go with taking that with a grain of salt) - why would I permanently give up my power to vote to take out someone random and not someone that I know is important to eliminate? This makes no sense as a gameplan.
b) if it's not permanent (meaning I can do it over and over) - you just need to wait a night to verify my claim
And if we go by the assumption that it is permanent AND that you're out for yourself, then you're useless to everybody and will have no impact on the rest of the game
Well - the vote thing is pretty easy to verify without eliminating me
Kiradawea specifically mentioned that someone lost the ability to vote after the night. If it is temporary - that same announcement should happen if I gain it back and choose to lose it again. When there is no announcement, I will again Vote for myself and when Kiradawea does another vote count - you will see that it's indeed permanent. Give me until then.
Kiradawea said that if someone completes their objectives, they leave the game.
If Danzaburou's win condition was a direct reflection of the White Fox's, then he would be unable to win, because Luce died via nightkill and not a lynch, and by Kiradawea's conditions, be removed from the game.
That's a pretty large breadcrumb to crawl back towards, I don't suspect Marcella, I'm not really sure it was there for that purpose. For all we know she can be an avenging angel that is an outcast generally but still serves the Gods.
The information that I have is mostly just about my role. I am supposed to outlive some individuals who are trying to take my island from me. Many people see me as a monster, and if I am investigated, unfortunately I will show up as a monster, but my win condition is not that. One of the rules Kira stated is that many people have different win conditions, mine is unique like Luce's.
I find it convenient to roleclaim so soon because of that. I am not a monster, I'm not a God, I am just a Legend that is in it to outlast the people trying to kill me. I have three powers, and three uses of powers. I used one to protect myself the first night and have two uses left of any of my 3 powers.
I also have a day power blocker, so that is in play, and some weird disguise thing that seems to be to protect me from investigations (or really, just disguise myself as one of you, so a guess in the dark) because I will appear as a monster that I probably won't ever use a power on.
He said well before Kira pointed out that losers are removed from the game that there were multiple people trying to kill him. It seems to me he has more to hide from and probably explains why he has 3 powers - perhaps one per individual after him? I'd be awfully interested to know who are hunting him down. Did someone mention three angels? Or am I imagining things? Hmm. Things to ponder.
At this point I'm not willing to jump on any hasty bandwagons, though I'd rather see us try and round up a monster if we can.
His win condition is to either eliminate me by being apart of the lynch train, or he becomes a survivor.
My win condition is to either eliminate Luce, or I become a survivor. The outlast the individuals trying to kill me referred to anyone that tried to kill me, I didn't want to say it quite blankly what my win condition is because the evidence was already there with Luce's.
But my role is, once again, a near mirror of Luce, except for more of an ability to protect myself as opposed to his, and he appears as a God, I appear as a Monster.

Oh, so there aren't more people out there besides the Inari Fox out to get Sado from you? This is the confusing part to me.
With 14 votes, it's 8 to avoid random dayend kill. With Marcella gone, I'm going to offer Celina the chance to take over Marcella's role. If she doesn't accept, I've already got someone else willing to take the role.
Edit: Celina has replaced Marcella
Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
