This could mean that any clues potentially pointing to Armando are actually clues against Emilio.

But hell. Maybe I am Mafia and just have been incredibly lucky to not ahve you pick up on any of the fifteen-thousand clues littering teh hits that have 'Emilio' written all over them.
Mafia Hit
'Hey,' said a quiet voice.
Emilio Bio
Emilio was ever the smooth-talker
Also...
Emilio Bio
Emilio managed to make his mischief look more and more as if it were Armando's mischief

I once played a mafia game where the mods put no clues at all in the game. I was so freaking pissed, especially since I was the first one lynched and a townie. As anyone would expect, the mafia won.

This has been mentioned before, but the Chuck e Cheese mascot which was apparently a mouse was previously identified as a rat...
which fits with Emilio's rat former army.
So my point here, is that Emilio is hardly without clues in the hits as you seem to suggest.
Anyway, I'm off to bed now since it's late o'clock here in England. See you ghosties in the afterlife! :D

Chuck E. Cheese, is an anthropomorphic mouse (before a 1995 "facelift", the Chuck E. Cheese character was identified as a rat

And yet you omit the computer clues, and calculus one, neither of which are in Emilio's bio

One thing that stands out to me is the use of the word Alpha.
In general terms, the expession "Alpha male" is commonly used. However here it is just "Alpha". Is this a clue that the GF is female ?
or was Alpa-Male simply avoided to leave the sex of the GF ambiguous ?
If it wasn't a clue, then surely the word "Alpha" would have been avoided altogether ?

Since I didn't read the book, I can't answer some of those kinds of things, as I guess they could just be in keeping with the way the book was written. I keep seeing 'buggars' too, which I assumed was just something used a lot in the book.

I think it was avoided just to keep the gender neutral. In the real world "Alpha male" is used more often than "Alpha female", just due to the way sexual dimorphism is set up in most species, but alpha females do exist. I think "alpha" in this instance is used to point towards that particular individual being the godfather.

Buggers are an alien race in the book, in the book their are three wars that have or are occurring with them. If I recall correctly the first was when a small group of bugger ships encounter humans. The second is when they send a bugger queen and fleet to our section of space. The third is when we destroy them. The children in battle school were training for the third war, which they were told was the inevitable third attack by the buggers. But they were actually training for an invasion of the buggers, wiping them out. In the end the game in command school turned out to be actual real-time battles.

Edit to add: I was under the impression that there are usually both an alpha male and an alpha female in packs, and they are usually a mated pair.

Indeed, but I believe in Wolves, it is the males who do the hunting and the killing, while the Alpha-Female keeps the other females and young in check. So the pack portrayed in the death scenario (if they were behaving as actual wolves do) would be males, hence the leader would be the Alpha-Male. But it was just left as Alpha...... Although I see that I could be _barking_ (Ah....Haaaa....Haaaaa, I'm sooo funny!) up the wrong tree here ;) But it did and still does stand out as a curiosity to me ;)

This makes me think there is more than one Mafia.
This makes me think that there is at least two but quite possibly three mafia left.
There are multiple canine and pack references in this and other hits. It makes me think of the Dog Army members and the one Hound Army member.
The "Can't shoot to save his life" comment from the first hit plus the fact that so far the mafia has not killed someone using any type of gun makes me think we are looking for at least on person that does not have marksman capabilities. Perhaps someone who is not a very good shot. The "A rifle, gun, or hell...even a thick Calculus book..." Kind of goes with this line of thinking.
Calculus points to the mathematicians, myself included. It points more heavily to Armando who specifically mentions Calculus in his bio. Anyone else mention calculus specifically?
I noticed at least three different mentions of eyes in this hit.
Those are my general impressions from the hit so far.
The Battle School Mafia discussed this very thing while they waited for their next class to begin, seemingly joining in with the camaraderie that the rest of their army was trying to portray
This makes me think there is more than one Mafia.
'Everything is ok.'
'Yeah, the teachers will figure it out and put a stop to it.'
'We're safe.'

I agree (as it's kinda obvious), the fact that any conversation occured at all shows that there are at least two mafia remaining. However it is cleverly worded so that it remains ambiguous as to wether there are _more than two_ or _exactly two_ (You crafty Mods *shakes fist* ;) ). Also the death scene indicates two perpetrators, one hacking the game, and one stoving her head in with a keyboard.
My personal thoughts right now, are still along the lines of the connection between Eduardo & Ezekial that I was mentioning yesterday (further evidence or thoughts in this direction have been presented by others also).
For me, the whole Fantasy-game-Scenario+trickling-water ties in very well with Eduardo, and the poetry/hieku + Mathematics references tie in well with Ezekial. So there are multiple clues for each of them, plus much evidence from yesturdays discussions to tie them together also......

No matter how you may implicate me in other clues, I find it VERY hard to believe you would lobby to lynch me based on a clue found in SOMEONE ELSE'S bio. Regardless of the relationship between characters, the things in someone's bio are unique to their bio.
However, it is late, I am tired, and I am going to bed. That is all. :)
