Hello hi I am here, sorry for being away for so long.
I do want to get back to the thing I was doing so I don't know how long I can stay, but.
Ninfia/Tiny/Sammy/Lucas situation
I straight up don't understand the reasoning behind anyone's suspicions of anyone regarding all of this.
Ninfia mentioned finding it suspicious that the ball ended up with Sammie (as Lucas had hinted the ball would be beneficial and multiple people suspected Sammie, hence it might be a mafia ploy to give the ball to Sammie to either buff her or make her less likely of a kill target), but in the same breath mentioned not being suspicious of Tiny. So what's your theory here? That the "Random pass" isn't actually a random pass, and Lucas/Sammie are teammates, and he controlled a pass to Sammie? This doesn't make sense to me for a lot of reasons. First off, if the ball is beneficial and Lucas is mafia, why not just give it to mafia teammates and pass it between themselves? Secondly, if the ball isn't beneficial, then it's not suspicious for anyone to give the ball to Sammie. Thirdly, Lucas passed the ball to Ninfia who passed it to Tiny who passed it to Sammie, so if this chain of action implicates Sammie and Lucas in any way, it also therefore implicates Ninfia and Tiny.
Please let me know what I'm missing here.
Regarding the ball itself and wanting to know more about it, I don't blame anyone for this and also would like Lucas to show up and clarify things just so we can determine either this is something to focus on or it isn't, and not get distracted. I, personally, was under the impression that the ball had protective properties due to Ninfia's statement that "it's likely that she was the N0 NK target."
Ezz/Five/Rasei situation
I feel like, given what the three of them claimed so far, I'm having trouble trying to wrap my head around what could possibly be going on here. If all three of them are telling the truth (or four I guess, including Sammie), there's some fourth role interfering with these results, but I have no idea what kind of role could basically I guess make it look like Five's ability is coming from ezzelin? Is that what's going on? I do kind of understand Five and Tiki's claims, but.
I feel like I don't have enough context on this situation to be able to pick someone to vote from this group.
On Sammie's role
I see Five's point about the bleeder-esque power being somewhat pro-town, but the alignment obfuscation really gets me. The fact that Sammie was not open about her alignment obfuscation at the beginning of the game the same way Tiki was like "btw I have a possibly scummy role", and only claimed it at a point where it was possible she would be on the chopping block, makes me a little uncomfortable with that whole situation.
On my and Katagi's thing
I did indeed get a message from katagi telling me to say stuff in thread, which i have already at this point fulfilled. Now that I have clarification on what the pen does, I may keep it unless people would be more comfortable with me passing it on? Katagi, if I gave the pen back to you what would happen?
Regarding my role specifically, I didn't want to say much but I can see that we're at the point where people are asking for openness, so I'll reveal that I am no longer vanilla. I figured out my role, and that's what the "ominous" thing I got was back on D1 (it was a message telling me that Something Would Happen. I got my True Role some time after that, during N1.)
I am, however, still passive. My role is a mixture of two of the other roles I submitted, hence why I said I was so sure that roles of players in-game are likely combinations of submitted roles. I am going to say that it only activates when I'm targeted, and I get delayed information. Nobody targeted me on N1, and I don't get my N2 results til I think the end of this phase. That's all I'm willing to share for the time being but if anyone has good reason to want to press me on this, they can.
For now I am going to vote: Sammiya, largely because I honestly don't find her claimed role (especially the alignment obfuscation) very pro-town but if anyone has a strong reason for why I shouldn't vote Sammie I'm willing to listen.
