SPOT ON SPECULATION SORRY YOU DIED SO SOON.

BLESS YOU HOSR but honestly I deserve a star for every night I sent in an action and didn't get a result, I'm sure that was at least three...

AND HEY here's a shout out to Lulu and Aeiou for that sick team-up early on getting the mafia jailer lynched, that was AMAZING!

CHAPTER 14 - A period-appropriate map for the city and era the book was published. The header image appeared as: https://i.imgur.com/Ie6MZja.png?mnupcuL but if you took the string after the question mark and made it its own imgur url, you'd get https://i.imgur.com/mnupcuL.png, which google image search reveals to be a map of Victorian London.

THE ONLY THING I REGRET FROM THIS GAME WAS THAT YOU GUYS DID NOT KILL TET OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. YOU DIDN"T EVEN KILL HIM ONCE.

Let that be a lesson to you all.

Five targets on me N0 is not enough.

Kill me better next time.

I can't believe the person protected me is trying to kill me and the robot I commanded to self-destruct is protecting me. ;3;

@Tiki - I think we thought it was a blanket protect but then we got your role one night and it implied you didn't have blanket protect? Can one of my family members clarify? Everything is blurring together and I should already be in game omg... -- why did i say game instead of bed

STARS!!!!! and the hosrs are so intense

@Angel - didn't you try to kill us first >:(

@Raie - next game: kill t3t mafia

YAY TYSM FOR A REALLY AWESOME GAME HOSRS!!! the roles are incredible tbh, i'll have to read through them in their entirety again... wow thank you i'm in awe how much effort you both put in this game!!! i spent the last few phases in absolute confusion because my intuition sucks tbh, but it was so nice to play mafia again ahhhh * w*

WTF MITSU I ACTUALLY THOUGHT YOU WERE AVIAN.

/gives the mafia a big hug for all the bad luck they had to endure :<

anyhow i'm just happy my protective ability triggered once in this game tbh

For successfully guessing the N0 NK target, thwarting death twice, and Bluffing what her role did both while she was alive, and after she had been revived as vanilla.

omg stars tyyy /w\

I suppose I will also do stars I am not as generous as the owlhosr though.

CURE
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
One star for every phase she was there at 8pm so I didn't have to be, and for putting up with all of my "Is the doc accurate I'm writing flavor now" and for reminding me to write chinomi's dreams which I kept forgetting to do.

DRANDAHL
☆☆☆
For every incorrect mystery book guess

EZZELIN
(you already got my star in Raie's post)

ALCASYNC
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
For every flavor hint you posted in thread. I'm too lazy to count but I like the number seven so you get seven.

NAUTILUS
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
For every flavor hint you figured out outside of thread. I'm too lazy to count but I like the number seven so you get seven.

HIGH SERAPH
☆☆

PAN
☆
For writing a really fantastic win condition poem

ARDONYE
☆
For employing the Kiyoko strategy of making gigantic list compilations to look town

ALL OF MAFIA AND LUCAS
☆☆
For each video making fun of Lucas

omg.... kiyo those hints are so well done..... now i wish i had done more puzzle hunting

@plot not "us," i only tried to kill you!!!!!!
also i still don't understand. why was i targeted. there was no reason to???? why?? me????????

Also achievements and stat update will come tomorrow i can't believe it's past midnight pst already

I just sorted through my PM boxes and I sent 8 action PMs throughout the game.

I got 4 results.

Also, owls are nicer than cats. This is a true fact, unlike all the ones I posted in the thread during night phases.

aaaaa the hintsss.... mitsu figured out the initials and isbns, and I found the date links and we connected them to publishing dates later on, but we didn't figure out a lot of that... the hints were really well done and made us whack our brains for a long time.

this game was just so amazing I can't even imagine how much work had to go in it.

and thank you so much for letting us go out in a blaze, hosrs. much appreciated. we've been laughing ourselves to death for the last phase. <3

@angel I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TRIED TO KILL ME!!!!! WE'RE FROM THE SAME CITY!!!!!!!! I TOLD YOU WHERE THE POST OFFICE WAS!!!!!!!!

but no really we didn't intentionally kill you LMAO. /doublechecks one of our docs -- You were the the last person to vote for mitsu that phase she was lynched, so that's why you were killed iirc.

If you thought I was vanilla, then why hurt me? =(

Also, I only get 2 stars for fooling everyone, then 0 stars from hosr #2.

I am crie.

because you were confirmed town and less likely to be protected than other candidates and we needed to whittle down confirmed town numbers.

I only gave out stars for literary efforts tbh where is your flavor text analysis?
