I actually literally just finished the movie, so I should be able to form some (newer) hypotheses.
Just to clear up some roles (or, what I believe to be in play)
(as of now, this information is solely from the movie)
- Blade is likely Westley, with his revival ability. (bulletproof is what comes to mind, and as Cyber said, I think this 'night immunity' is short-lived and Blade is trying to pass it off as stronger than what it actually is)
- We probably have a doctor (Miracle Max)
- This is a bit of a rehash, but I believe of the two investigative roles we have one town role and one mafia (Humperdinck and Montoya). I don't really know what a mafia investigative role would entail, but it would likely be a tracker of some kind (Humperdinck), and our Montoya is the same, only townsided.
- We probably have a bodyguard role (Fezzik)
- We may have a vigilante. This could also fit the 'murderer' part of Pass' post, since regardless of alliance, the vigilante would still be a 'killer'. This could also be the person who did nothing N1, since randomly shooting a shot into the dark could very likely yield the result of a dead PR, it would be better for the person with that role to do nothing, especially considering the fact that we didn't have any ideas of what roles could be in play.
- Vizzini could actually be anything as far as I'm aware. Fool is what comes to mind but would it really make sense to put a fool into an 8-person setup? I honestly don't know.
- Then there's a few other side characters (I'm sure there's a few slipping my mind right now despite having just watched the movie) but I can't really think of any role significance those could have. Just that they are significant characters in the story.
- We probably have a Godfather (Count Rugen) as the other mafia role.
I'll see if reading the sparknotes sheds any more light.
As for you, Cyber, I do have an ability that would fit your description but I did not use it on Stars or Sin. I guess we'll have to wait for Nem to post. Personally, I'm going to hold off on any voting until I have what I believe to be a clear mind as to what's going on.

Honestly, if you read through all the games I've been in, I always come off as 'scummy'. Town always lynches me, sees that my role text is green, and proceeds the next day. There was only one game out of 3-4 (4-5?) where I was in fact mafia and I'm pretty sure that was the one game where I wasn't lynched. I'm not trying to belittle your reads on me, but I do think I have a different play style than the rest of you. I don't think it has anything to do with being 'new'.
