Finally had a chance to read the entire thread since rollover. I'm a bit light on time since I want to finish up a few things for my own game in a few hours, but let's see.
I had some comments lined up regarding the distribution of stuns and jails, but apparently last night I completely missed Cure's points about her own role in relation to the jails and the alignments of the jailers, so it mostly invalidated what I was speculating. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if one jail was JOAT, because to me the presence of two jails but only one stun is unusual. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like stuns are easier to throw into a game, whereas jails are more complicated--especially when it seems a doctor may have acted on Mitsu last night (there are other possibilities to explain the failed NK, but I do think Mitsu is a logical target for protects), which would suggest up to three possible roles that have protective actions. That seems... unlikely to have on town's side? So then to me the logical answer is either mafia jail or one of the jails was a town JOAT. But Cure's posts makes a mafia jail on Mr. Alice sound very unusual, so I don't know how to parse it right now. There may also be stuns that cannot activate N0 (I've made these before), so I guess we'll see with future rollovers if we gain or lose rollover actions.
I have no idea how to comment on the silence on Tiki. I've never/rarely seen it in play before (I think? There might have been one in b&b... either on Blaire or Tiki, I think??). I wonder if the "Wounded" aspect means anything to anyone. That wording seems particular? I know wounded effects typically mean the player's going to die, but that just... seems weird to make it such that he's already doomed to die but also cannot vote or speak. Idk.
The theory of Tiki being driven with another player is interesting, and it could actually be plausible, but... would mafia really originally place their silence on someone likely to be on the other end of a bus with Tiki? That'd be a player you'd want to avoid "clearing", which you may do by silencing them, and making a typically high speculator silent D1 isn't going to be as effective as later phases when there's more to work on? Or if we apply the WIFOM we've been entertaining for Tiki, you could be trying to frame this target, I guess, or make them look town if they're mafia. I re-iterate that I've very rarely seen a silence role so this is where I kind of just figure I'll wait and see how this develops.
Anyway, Lucas has flipped. His first post:
high seraph wrote:- if NK sender is stunned, the NK will not show up in rollover;
- if NK sender is jailed, the NK will not show up in rollover;
- if NK target is protected, the NK will show up in rollover;
- if NK target is jailed, the NK will show up in rollover.
This interests me. In theory he could have asked it in private (idk if mafia would've asked during N0?). I guess asking in public means he can sound like he's contributing. What tickles me is if there was an ulterior motive, because getting the questions answered one way or the other either clears several people of the NK, or makes those same ones possible targets. I guess another factor is that Lucas then specifically highlighted plotstickers later on, and she was one of those players stunned and ended up briefly under focus. It may ultimately be nothing, but it just stood out while reading through.
Re: Neutral business
From what I know of the host, I believe Fia would be inclined to set up a neutral such that part of their role involves being unable to hard claim alignment. I have no way of knowing if this is the case for this game, but I'd say don't be surprised if any player suspected of being neutral never says anything. This is also kind of the neutral meta on these boards in terms of keeping it interesting for them, so it's probably accurate tbh.
Re: Everything
Not many people have really stood out right now. I don't really know how to parse Adibro's actions since they're new, and Jeanne's quick card claim seems in-character from what little I've seen of her. I trust Mitsu and chinomi, and possibly plotstickers. If I had to pick any players that sort of triggered mild "eh" gut checks while reading, maybe Aeiou and Sammiya, though one ends up mislynched a lot and the other is fairly quiet in general. I don't have any real consensus on certain other players like Kiyoko, Cure, ezzelin, or Five, but I'm not looking at them too hard just yet. I do want to hear from Tiki next phase (or whenever he is able) to find out what in the hell. Everyone else unmentioned (as well as some of those that were mentioned) is more-or-less just on my "???", though whenever Gerry finally has better access it'd be cool to hear from him.
I typically hate no lynching, but we did get a protect and mafia off so we're in pretty good shape. I'm also showing up way too late into the phase to really offer much in terms of voting spec or activity votes, but I should be able to contribute sooner tomorrow since
hopefully my thread will be closed out by then. So.
Vote: No LynchAnd the last totally, completely, 100% relevant thing:

deep breath. hng.
tl;dr: It's a too lux; didn't read, which you all seem to expect of me these days. Honestly, I'm more than just
words. I'm a person. With
feelings. This is an excellent tl;dr to the tlux;dr, imo.
