Literary UPICK || Chapters 7-16

i get the feeling that this is going to end up a very frustrating game for the maf

wb eleni tho!! :0

EDIT: why

well i knew deo was town, you guys are weird lol

unvote, vote: ezzelin




also thank u for reviving eleni, person. you know who u are. i know who u are. good job.

edit oh wow yeah i guess everyone knows who the reviver is, i hadn't read the whole page yet. awkward.

my list is better than t3t's btw, feel free to refer to this one instead:

the best list:

Lucas. its me wrote:Possible mafia jailers: Luxaria, drandahl, plotstickers, T3tsuya, Entelechy and Ardonye.

I'm pretty sure that the mafia jailer is either drandahl or Entelechy. I'm also pretty ok with my vote on ezz though. If you guys wanna lynch the mafia jailer asap (which would be cool), let's go for either drandahl or ducky. But I think?? it's official that the mafia jailer is every-other-night, right? Which means they won't act next night phase and that we could wait a lil bit I guess, so maybe let's go for ezz, who has a role that we don't know about and could be more immediately useful for the mafia.

MY BEST BA$HAKEL TRULY UNDERSTANDS ;___;7

i've literally been posting up a storm and people still want me to "stop being inactive" fml

shut up ba$hakel u really need to speak up more ok

also i cant believe u just called me ba$hakel hOW OLD ARE YOU, TWELVE?????

15. 2

Total Time:
Prep: 15 min
Cooking: 15 min

Yield:
serves 15 (14?)

Ingredients:
1 medium unvote
1 tablespoon ratio
200g uncertainty, sliced
1/2 medium deo
0.5 L apathy
1/2 teaspoon consideration
1/2 teaspoon substance
questionable to taste
2 tablespoon lucas
1 tablespoon explanation

Directions:
In a non-stick saucepan, heat up the ratio on high heat. Finely chop the unvote and add it to the pan.¹
Once the unvotes begin to brown, add in the uncertainty. Sear quickly on all sides, then lower the heat to medium. Chop the deo and add it to the pan. Cook until deo shrinks, then pour in the apathy. Season with consideration, substance, and questionable to taste. Cook for about 10 minutes.²
In a mug, mix Lucas and explanation. Add to the sauce while stirring. Bring to a boil and cook for about a minute, then remove from heat.³
Serve with hurry.⁴

Chef's Notes:
¹unvoting for now in light of newly revealed information. did not notice that ratio changed, or more like, forgot that mitsu never affected the ratio so I thought it was normal.

²I'm still not really comfortable about deo's apparent apathy to being lynched. also, it's not really about posting a lot, more that your posts lack substance. you haven't really posted anything of substance before your timeline split, then gave us info based on it, and didn't post anything really of substance afterwards either. still considering whether timeline split could be a maf action, but I think it could actually work :/a

³Lucas, please explain why you think I'm "very maf". I don't see a single reason for you thinking so in your post, apart from the fact that you don't know my role. and you might remember that I explicitly hate claiming and don't do that unless absolutely necessary, because that's just giving the maf info and painting targets on people's backs.

⁴I'm in a hurry and leaving now, as I'm actually not even supposed to be home rn - so if anything else comes up, I'll address it in the evening, vote included.

@Lucas: The presence of a roulette role may explain why there was a jail N3?

YES I AM AND dont sass me after i compliment you wtf

anywho tbf from the timeline split up until literally like 12 hours i was refraining from posting a lot because of health shit, but before that yeah no i don't really have any reason i wasn't posting more

and i think i've said "as much as i could do" since coming back full time to thread (in quotations here because again, before alca pointed out the ratio thing i don't think i could've said anything to change anyone's mind on anything)

as a side note if you think i've seriously been completely apathetic towards this at any point in time like how??? i said that it was in town's best interests to lynch me over anyone else that is actually town because of how little i've actually done up until this point, but that wasn't a "VOTE ME" sign at all. when i got confused about rasei because i suck i said "let my slaughter continue" or something like that because it seemed like literally 0% of people were listening to me at that point anyway, and now because WHOA DEO MIGHT NOT'VE DONE THE THING???? YO WHAAAAAAAT people actually might give a damn

@ezzelin

I just feel like you've been kind of just going with the flow in this game and going past everyone's radars, and I think this is what most of the mafia have been doing, which is why it's been pretty difficult to catch you all. Like, remember plot and Sammie? How many posts did they actually make in this game? How much did we ever know about them before they were lynched? How much consistent speculation did they share?

Now look at drandahl. He has been posting consistently throughout the game, but I honestly can't remember I single moment when drandahl's participation led to town learning anything new or interesting. Like, ok, I remember one moment where drandahl stood out, and that was when he said "Tiki, I know what your book is", and the only reason that stood out to me is because I was really into trying to find out what everyone's book titles were. Then again, that one post that drandahl made meant virtually nothing for the current spec. Now look at ducky. I understand he had some personal issues to deal with at the beginning of the game, and he has been trying harder the last couple of phases, but it's still not enough for me to drag his name up to the "likely town" side of my list.

Now look at you. Your posts have been really fun to read through and you have always been up to speed with everything that happened in the game and you always shared your opinions each phase. But hasn't most of it just been rewording in a cookbookish style what everyone else has already said?? I mean, apart from all the deo tunneling, which is something that only you have been doing, much like drandahl I don't feel like your posts have been bringing new useful information. To me, your most memorable posts are summaries of your thoughts on each player, which is something mafia can pull off relatively easily without compromising their position. I need to be clear here and say that information =/= claiming. If I share my investigation results with the thread, that's new information, but it's not the only kind of information we can get. I mean, I didn't rely on any role powers to put up that "jail history" thing, and nye didn't use any powers of her own when she helped me and we, together, developed a better understanding about the mafia jailer (like, the fact that you couldn't be it) and created new information.

My point is that mafia doesn't need to try to give town new information because they already control the entire flow of information in the thread by virtue of being mafia. This is why I'm more likely to trust Nye, who we know very little about role-wise but has been contributing solidly, than drandahl, who we know nothing about and hasn't had much presence.

tl;dr yeah, I think the mafia is drandahl, duck, ezz and maybe chi.

@ mariya, actually, Tiki claimed that he was gonna jail himself, so that was his own jail (idk why he claimed before doing it, but he did). The N1 jail on lulu is what raises doubts about the dedicated vs every-other-night status of the mafia jailer, but then again, a roullete could have been responsible for that. fwiw, it wasn't Alca since she already claimed her N1 action (redirected nautilus to nautilus), but idk, there is a role thief out there somewhere anyway.

The every-other-night status of the mafia jailer only affects ezzelin anyway. If it's dedicated, ezz can't be the mafia jailer; if it's every-other-night, ezz can still be the mafia jailer. And ezz is mafia either way imo.

@ deo, I listened to u deo-kun. ;w;

I know a lot happened yesterday, but Chi has been proved Town by Lux, since Chi voted for Mr. Alice, and everyone who voted for Mr. Alice is Town according to Lux's etherscope thingy. Also, Chi worked damn hard yesterday communicating to us that she has some kind of detective roll, and has been working under a gag.

The fruit of her labour has been getting four novel descriptions, one of which describes a member of the mafia's books. I have freely volunteered that one of the books described is mine, and one of the books described is likely Mr. Alice's.

So there are two unclaimed books, one of them is mafia (because I am not mafia).

I was thinking either that, or bulletproof.

This is true. That might also be the Mafia person, though, since the Mafia appear to have some protects happening.


Updated list of people who have been proven to not be Mafia

T3t (Raised dead town, no CC)
Rasei (voted for Mr. Alice, Follow up question confirmed)
Lux (has a super investigative role, or is playing the greatest deceit this game has ever seen, which is unlikely).
Eleni (Confirmed Town on Death, now Resurrected).
Chinomi (Voted for Mr. Alice, very strongly appears to have a detective role).
Alcasync (Sniped Sammiya of the Mafia, no CC)
High Seraph (Voted for Mr. Alice).
Five (Lux's question confirmed her as town, and was jailed by Maf last night).

Pan (Confirmed Neutral)

Ardonye is in a liminal space because one of Lux's questions may or may not have included them.

Therefore, in no particular order, the remaining players who might be Maf (at least 3/5) are:
Entelechy
Deo
Mr. Gerbear
Ezzelin
Drandahl


And, of course, I say I am Town.

Now, for everyone holding my earlier absence against me, my grandmother was being hospitalized, and my much beloved Great-Uncle died within a very short window, so I had lots of family stuff on my plate, including family in town I needed to host/wanted to spend me time with.

I think we all agree that I would have to be scum IRL to lie about that.

So. I figure you guess will need to lynch me eventually (since I am not cleared), but please do not hold my earlier absence against me when determining the priority of lynching me.

Did T3t really revive Eleni? That's... This is all quite strange. I need to think this through a little more and finish reading the thread. unvote, at least for now, since it seems dear Ciaphas Cain is no longer with us?

I am most inclined to vote for ezzelin currently, and have been inclined to do so for several days now. That said, I have information that I feel like now might finally be the time to offer up... I need to think a bit.

Honestly, I am not sure that he did, but I am willing to accept it enough to drop his to the bottom of the suspect list until there is a counterclaim.

@ horsrs, can we get a new official post-eleni-revival ratio please?

I know what I said before about Gerry, but that was before I investigated plot's role and learned that Gerry was telling the whole entire truth. So Gerry isn't a mafia candidate anymore. Deo isn't either. This means your list should be reduced to Entelechy, Ezzelin and Drandahl. That's 3 mafia, but the last ratio we got indicated that there's still 4 mafia alive. The fourth person is either chi, Lux or five, I haven't given it enough thought yet.

thank u


i didnt really suspect that eleni would be revived and suddenly flip alignments or anything, specially since she was revived by t3t who is pretty definitely town, but, i mean, i had to make sure. = w=

edit i mean theres still a possibility that the ratio isn't accurate, but i dont wanna think about it tbh :-)
