okay but who did lucas kill?
if it is Mafia is people who kill other people, then alca has to be mafia because neither eleni nor crypsis have killed anyone, but I still think the answer is to not kill anyone.

You had inherited the shop from your parents, who had inherited it from their parents. Your after school days were spent as a gangly kid sitting on the countertop, bandaged knees next to the cash register as your dad would scream "You troublemakers!" to a few neighbourhood bullies who had stuffed candy into their pockets without paying. You remember the hot, sticky summers, the ice cream, the old man with the cigarettes who would always linger outside the doorway.
Your parents would tell you, over and over, that the store was something to be proud of: that your family name was respected in this town. You, like the rest of your family, were destined to live out your days within the store's mortar and brick walls. These rousing family speeches usually elicited only a disaffected nod on your part when you were a kid: back then you kind of wanted to get out of town and travel, but you also couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt every time you thought about it. It felt like you were abandoning your family and generations of hard work.
Time passed, and you agreed to take on the store from your parents once they grew too old to take care of it by themselves. The idea of leaving grew harder once your parents died; even though there was nothing tethering you to the store at all, it was still the place you grew up in. Heck, your family (and later, you) lived in the tiny apartment right above the store, so it was technically your childhood home. Out of a combination of nostalgia and the memory of your parents, you buried your thoughts of leaving and kept on working, smiling at every new customer and entertaining thoughts of childhood summers long past.
No one'll drop by anymore. I mean, you couldn't really blame them; who would shop at a place where someone had been murdered dead right around the corner? At first, you figured that your name alone could weather the storm of rumours, but the dwindling crowds and empty streets were unmistakable. No matter how much goodwill had been built up over half a century of operations, it all comes crashing down in the face of fear. If it wasn’t flying in the face of your business, you’d have thought the situation was a little poetic.
As you close up for the night, you stare at the pavement in front of your storefront window. It had been a week since police had burst into your store, asking you questions and inspecting every inch of your establishment. You handed over surveillance tapes and answered every question the officers threw at you: yes, there had been someone who came in that night, a diet coke, right over there, don't remember much about their face. Yet the sight of seeing so many people poke around at what had been your parents' cherished jewel made you shudder. It felt like they were desecrating something sacred, even if it was nothing more than a little convenience store.
You take a last glance at the front door, your tired reflection visible in the dusty and scratched glass. For a brief moment, you wonder whether or not you should throw in the towel, quit, move on. There's a tiny part of you that's afraid, too -- after all, according to the police, you had sold some diet coke to the top suspect in the case. What if they were to come back and finish the job, knowing you had given the police the tools to find them?
No, you mumble to the image in the glass, before taking a towel to the door. You'll live and die here. That’s what your parents wanted anyways, isn't it? It's in your blood, after all.![distortion [THE END] - Page 47 ZT4k8rL](https://i.imgur.com/ZT4k8rL.png)
TOWN
You possess one shovel and one first aid kit.
You must give them away on N0
to two players of your choosing.
If you do not pick,
the recipients will be randomized.
You cannot give both items to the same person.

- Role PM::
The biography page of your campaign website describes you as an author. So you were, once upon a time. No longer content penning thrillers from the sidelines, you threw yourself headfirst into more fruitful endeavors. Why play the passive storyteller when you could spin tales in an elevated arena?
Here’s the synopsis: Old Stodgy Mayor runs a peaceful town, lowers taxes, cuts police budgets, pays for after school activities for the kids. Everything going well. All of a sudden? Town, not so peaceful anymore. Deaths. Mysterious, bloody, viscera strewn out like christmas ornaments. No witnesses--well, one witness. Witless, more like it. Scared so damn stiff that they can’t even speak.
The police do their best with what they’ve got, but they’re David against a cryptic Goliath. They need more officers, more equipment, more cars. “Can’t,” says the mayor. “It’s not in the budget.” You see, Old Stodgy Mayor doesn’t know how to handle a town in crisis. Only knows how to sit safe in their comfy office, muttering things like, “We’re not talking to the media right now.” And oh boy is that media upset. Everyone’s upset. Police are upset, citizens are upset, everyone is terrified for their tiny little lives. And the killings. Just. Don’t. Stop.
Enter the protagonist. This scrappy, tenacious underdog may be a newcomer in the ring, but they’ve got something the mayor lacks. Charisma, acumen, a certain je ne sais pas. This isn’t some sci-fi superhero story; our protag doesn’t go chasing down villains and punching their daylights out. Instead, this underdog rallies the town, and it’s through the power of teamwork and cooperation that they flush out the killer and restore peace.
Cheesy? As hell. Will the people buy it? You bet your ass they will.
This is the story you campaign on. With every speech, you lay bare the world as it is: helplessness, an incompetent mayor, lives snuffed out after sundown. And then you rebuild it into a future that they can believe in. You rebuild yourself into a hero that they can believe in. Your readers, your audience, your political constituents. They internalize this story of the world that could be, and they ring out support with their voices, with their votes, with posters in the window and signs in their lawns. This town needs a new mayor. This town needs a savior. This town needs you.
Fiction? Politics? They’re both the same. It’s all about selling the narrative.
TOWN
Every time a player is killed at night,
the number of votes needed to lynch you
increases by one.
However, should a majority
of the living players in the game vote for you
during the day phase, this ability will be
nulled and you will be lynched.
See I would be the better mayor for our lovely town.

I still think Lucas killed deo. I found a First aid kit without tweezers by Deo's corpse, and the tweezers flavor was only around while Lucas was alive.
Edit: Er, you mean in terms of just the role PMs? Dunno anything about that.

Oh, can someone who died talk about what happens after death, now that we can claim? Are there message sending and actions/items after death?

Message sending happens (I think) after you get to see those visions that eleni talked about a couple phases back when she was revived. I never used it so idk if it's one-use, but it let me send one message to one dead person. Not sure if there are items.

deo was the nk, wasn't he?
also, this kind of thinking is what turned us all into mafia in the first place. :V
@dylan. yeah there was no mafia there before because we became mafia by MURDER.
just dont' vote. the fact that the hosts are trying to threaten us with "YOU'LL LOSE IF YOU DON'T VOTE" makes not voting even more likely to be the right answer because people will vote to "not lose"

There is a literal entire death world where you can do things that are all very vague without a lot of actual things going on. I am currently not myself anymore apparently and everyone gets a chance to guess their name once per phase for 'A great opportunity' to happen.
It looks like a grand total of 0 people accomplished anything in death.

I got to see very little of it, but:
Edit: FUCK, I tried to fix something, and the edit option destroyed my post.
- Action:
- Kiyoko wrote:[center]
DEATH ADDITIONAL ACTIONS
You may take any or all of the
following actions, in addition to
continuing your story. Figure out your name
You may not have known your name while you were alive, but in death it becomes incredibly important, as your only tie to the living world.
Your name is a single word that embodies your character's personalities, motivations, and thoughts. You may guess your name a certain number of times every phase, sending your guess(es) to the hosts. Should you successfully guess your name, you will be given a great opportunity.
Currently, you may submit one guess this phase.
- Clarification:
- nautilus wrote:- Your name is not an actual "name" like Tom or Bob or whatever, it's a word like "humanity" or "whimsical" or "cherished"
e.g. someone who is known for being imaginative and thinking out of the box's name would be "whimsical" and someone who is loved very much by everyone around them is "cherished". The name is going to be a play off what your character's about/their motivations/experiences/etc.,
- There are story options that will make your real name more clear as you progress so don't get discouraged at how intense this seems
Edit: FUCK, I tried to fix something, and the edit option destroyed my post.

I never found an item. It was mostly about finding out more about your character and seeing other people dying. I wonder if we could match up the people dying to us or the people around us.

tet lucas figured it out and came back to life. and then died again.
honestly we kind of need lucas to show up because he obviously figured out which character he was and so he can tell us if he shot anyone when he was alive and also whatever else happened.
