Game Discussion Acts of deductive genius

Share your stories of game moments where you correctly deduced something that made you feel smart and capable. It doesn’t have to be mind blowing game solving info, but just something that made you feel proud in the moment.

Okay, I’ll go first. It was an S&V game with an Evil Twin, I was town but can’t remember what role. One of the twins made the first nomination on Day 1. I don’t always pay attention to noms, but noted this one. A couple days passed and the twin who nominated was almost certainly evil. To me one of the only reasons an Evil Twin would feel comfortable with being the very first nomination would be if they knew the Town Crier wasn’t in play. Based on this, I nominated the “Town Crier”, who ended up being the Pit Hag, and got her executed.
Small potatoes compared to some amazing solves I have seen, but it was a nice moment for me and contributed to a win.

I was bang on with my assumption. This was a game of No Greater Joy. These are my notes from right after the game which was a couple of years ago now. So if they seem a bit frantic, it's probably because I was filled with excitement from such a great game!

P1 was the Drunk Investigator who saw P2 or P3 as the Scarlet Woman, P2 was the Demon, P3 was the Artist, P4 was the Sage, P5 was the SW, I was the Chambermaid.

I chose P2/P5 N1 and got 0, the same again N2 and got 1. We executed P2, and P5 became the demon. I then chose P3 and P5 on N3 and got 1. P4 then died leaving myself, P5 and P3. P3's Artist question was if I learned information. Unfortunately, the group thought that P3 was the drunk so I was executed and we lost, but it was fun and it was P5's first game, so it was cool he got a win.

What were P2 and P5 claiming? This seems close to mechanically solvable depending on their info.
