That's why I really encourage anyone who doesn't want to vote NL to vote ASAP and not... Super close to rollover. That wouldn't really sit well with me.

Hmm, this was 5ish hours before rollover?

Why would you warn mafia that you would interpret that action as scummy? This reads to me more like you're trying to slightly discourage voting in general, in which case town gains nothing.

Does anyone else get this vibe? Happy to back off, but I wanted to address this.

Also, I'm still pretty not-up-to-date, so sorry if this has already been brought up. Will consider rescinding my vote once I hear Chinomi respond to this. I am aware Chinomi was stunned N0, at least.

>encourages people to vote in my past post sooner rather than later
>discouraging people to vote

?????

i was encouraging town voting sooner rather than later because votes RIGHT BEFORE rollover which tip the scales are pretty blatantly scummy to me. maybe not so early in the game, sure, but still bad news bears to begin with. i don't really interpret my post as letting mafia know as to what i find scummy. well, not that i really care. i'll gladly let mafia know what things i find scummy any day of the week. it's their job to choose to dodge that behaviour.

noo rip ninfia ;__; um... i hate to say it but i guess the silver lining is that we still haven't lost any townies at least /o\

anyhow this is kind of late but i forgot that i wanted to follow up on this:

T3tsuya wrote:If you are indifferent on my alignment or are generally thinking I am not town while also believing eleni is being truthful with what she is saying, please provide a scenario in which this is both possible and likely.

WELL TECHNICALLY. there is a scenario in which someone could have redirected actions from player X to you, in which you wouldn't be the original NK target. and then there would be that very slim possibility that you were mafia. again, this seems pretty unlikely but hey, more ridiculous things have happened in mafia. anyhow just wanted to put this out there because while you're one of the people least likely to be mafia imo, you're still not 100% clear. that is all. u Vu

also Lux i hope this kind of answers your question? i won't disclose anything else about my role for the moment though o/

but umm yes so regarding today's lynch! i have to say that i'm not too suspicious of blaire at the moment? i definitely don't want to vote for her yet (bc how will she eat my food otherwise!!). and i feel like her vote on deo came in so late when it was already overwhelmingly NL that it's not really suspicious to me, although it is a little odd timing-wise and i'm not sure what to make of her reason.

re: aeiou, i have no particular opinion about their alignment but i find it interesting that there are two votes on her already.

hmm, interesting point about chinomi's post that drandahl brought up. not sure i find it suspicious, but iirc at that point there were three NLs and a couple of scattered random votes.

WHERE ALL THE VOTES AT

Alright well rollover is literally when my work shift starts so I usually won't be able to reply for a few hours. I... attempted to go back through and try and reread and scour for things. I think I mostly succeeded in making funny typos.
Highlights:
"chi loudly proclaims about gibberish"
"lulu leads the votes with a think eleni wowowowow"
"chi vore mr alice"
"has to weite a sorty"


Anyhow I don't really have many opinions on many people tbh. I want to be a big stronk player like Lulu but I am just not that superior. Speaking of lulu she made a silly vote but thats pretty super typical paranoid lulu so Im not too worried about that. Also lulu is a really good player to have on your team so I just want to believe she's town until otherwise suspected. Along the same lines is Lux, holy crap Lux was a beast during katababi station. Plz be team town Lux. I'm fine not voting Eleni, Tet or anyone stunned/jailed since the NK seemed to go through meaning it couldn't have been sent in by anyone stun/jail. THIS STILL LEAVES A LONG ASS LIST OF PEOPLE holy cow


I think I'm most alright with
vote: Deo
just for not really...saying much of anything that I remember... I guess there's a few others in that category too. Probably even me lol


Rasei/Zura outing themselves as stunner so early is kind of interesting? Not sure what to make of that. If we have three stunners then one didn't act n0 or was jailed/stunned, there was also only one jail n1 vs the two on n0. I'm pretty positive the gibberish is going to be indecipherable and might even know what book it's from? And the whole book is literally just some indecipherable writing. And strange art which I've seen none of. I'm starting to wonder what else would show up other than a stun or jail because I feel like at this point someone should've stepped up to mention maybe their action not going through and that maybe they were jailed/stunned? I guess it's possible they didn't send anything so they didn't even realized they were b locked from acting. 


WHO KNOWS. welsomce to mafia

Dropping my quirk for a bit (since it's not ALWAYS mandatory but I can't leave it dropped for long ya feel me) to say I don't really have time to make meaningful posts this weekend but since I don't want to lose my role and stuff I will drop down a vote: lulu because some of the stuff she's saying doesn't SEEM RIGHT to me about JAILS and all that 'cause of REASONS

Lulu, how much do you know about kangaroos? Tell me all about your experiences with them.

3. 1 Spec Soup

Total Time:
Prep: all morning
Cooking: 20 min

Yield:
serves 23

Ingredients:
1 large ninfia
1,5 tablespoon neutral oil
2 cans hidden code
0.5 dL alcasync
1L codebreaking
3 tablespoons analysis
2 leaves suspicion
3 whole deos
pinch of vote
0.5 teaspoon specless post
further thoughts to taste

Directions:
Peel and finely chop the ninfia. Crying is a common occurrence that peeling or chopping the ninfia can induce, but there's nothing that can be done about it. Prepare a larger pot, and pour in the neutral oil. Add ninfia to the pot and brown lightly.

Wash the hidden code under cold water. Add to the pot and season with alcasync; it does a good job at helping the dish to develop its flavour.
Cook for 3 minutes, then pour in codebreaking; add analysis as well. Analysis might cause letter frequency to form in the soup (see fig.a).

fig.a - letter frequency wrote:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
3 2 3 2 1 1 2 2 1 2 1 1 3 2 0 2 0 0 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 1

A very common spice is Cesarean code, but it is not used in this recipe, unless the chef pairs it with keyword spices.
Cooking the hidden code is interesting and leaves the chef with many possibilities, as there are many types of code.

Add a pinch of vote and three whole deo. Deo is a spice that is used very sparingly, and normally goes with seasoning of specless posts like in this case. Mix in 2 leaves of suspicion, previously soaked in lack of activity and posts without much information that can be found in any household.

Serve with further thoughts, which might entirely change the flavour depending on development.

is this really going to be another "i-make-somewhat-actual-posts-and-people-think-im-still-dead-anyway" game ;__;

chi u are a goddamn gay porn novel about dicks arent you this is what youre hinting at with all of these bananas there is no other explanation for this im PUTTING YOUR NAME NEXT TO EROTIC NOVEL OK CHI ITS A THING NOW there is no turning back

ok about the current lynch options:

Aeiou is a good lynch candidate if we're just lynching literally anyone, but it does worry me that lulu followed on alca's vote?? I mean, if you want to pressure people into speculating, Aeiou isn't the only one you should be looking at and, given that she already had a vote on her, it's strange that lulu didn't consider those other options before putting her vote in. So I'd appreciate it if lulu could come forward with what made her focus on Aeiou??

Mr. Alice is also an odd lynch option, imho. I don't get "wow blaire is questioning eleni's alignment hmm" from that one liner she posted lmao. Her late vote on deo also doesn't seem completely out-of-character for her, given her verifiable aversion to no lynches. Sooo behavior-wise, I really don't think Blaire has been acting scummy at all, but that doesn't really mean anything. Again, I think it's an odd choice.

Rasei's claim is definitely interesting. The possibility that there were 3 stunners and 2 jailers at the beginning of the game, however, seems really awkward. My guess is that there's probably some role thief shenanigan happening here, or something to that effect. That's still just a guess though. I do believe Rasei's claim anyway, and I'm pretty confident that she is town, because I feel like I would actually be a pretty great stun target on N0. I would stun me, if I wasn't me. I'm not going to expend the effort necessary to completely explain my train of thought here because it involves quite a lot of wifom and I might trip on words and end up getting heavily side-eyed because of that so whatever. I think Rasei is town and will not be voting for her until I'm convinced otherwise.

As for the garbled text... A thought occurred to me that maybe it's a regular role, but whose action is always concealed?? It would explain why no one ever comes forward and says "hey, where's my action?" If this is true, then I'm not entirely sure if this is actually a mafia role. At any rate, I don't think it's a stun or jail, because we'd have known that if it was. I'm not sure what are some other active roles that show up in rollover lmao. Another thought: maybe it's related to the "Sci-fi" hint?? It does look like... an alien language or something??? ?

Speaking of alien language, I ran the last hint we got on an anagram solver software and I don't think any of the results are useful. I didn't expect it to be an annagram at all though, because the hint is supposed to refer to all roles that acted during that phase, and that amount of roles wouldn't be covered in an anagram. I think it's likely something similar to the D1 hint: the letters are part of book titles. I'll take another look at it soon and maybe find out something interesting. who knos

For the moment, I will vote: plotstickers.

I'm convinced that there's one or two mafia hidden among the later no lynch votes (Tiki, Pan, plot, Aeiou and Sammie), since that is by far the safest route mafia could take after the no lynch votes began to pile up. It's also likely that there's a mafia among those who didn't put in a vote: drandahl, T3tsuya, nautilus, Angelstar and deo. If you guys feel like any other name in this group is more likely to be mafia, then I'd be ok with following it tbh.

i got ninja'd a few times so i'M... gonna go ahead and unvote, vote: deo because he's also in that group and the reasoning for the votes on him is the same as the reasoning i had for voting plot and i don't feel like spreading votes around like butter on a bread loaf if ya feel me (ezz probably feels me)
