The Masquerade - Mafia Wins [;_;]

((My darn cat woke me up biting again.))

It was nice having you Miss Blue, and a pleasure playing with you again. Do you have any thoughts on who the dastardly people that killed poor innocent Skill mask is?

Also I got permission to share the whole tip:

You say there's a switch of the feathered guise?
I have too seen a truth, with my own eyes.
I went in the night to search for a rat,
Finding one inside the mask of a cat.
Now maybe it's true with them you've allied,
And that I've no proof that I too have spied.
But if you have faith, and are yourself true,
We can be rid of this fiend, me and you.
Maybe they've already to feathers swapped.
If not, act quick, this feline must be stopped!

*walks over and hugs Miss Blue Mask*

As a conjurer of tricks, it has been said that never am I late nor early,
And true--for at this party I shall never arrive; alas, I went uninvited.
Yet I know well the faces of playing cards, and their tales of deceit,
Guided and misled by my hands to whence eyes cannot see.
Within the curve of a mirror, I project and conceal,
And if locked in a chest 'neath the finest of cloth,
You will soon discover I am great like Houdini!
For now I stand on plain staging, and the chest far away,
With a flooding of spotlights, and all chanting my name,
There is applause--there is laughter! by those just far too blind,
I have deceived them all; I am "The Magician".

The Midnight Mask has been awarded for Night One. All eyes are upon the Midnight Mask. No actions may be performed upon them directly. Actions that would target the other mask(s) worn by the player behind the Midnight Mask are valid.

Well. That was an unpleasant scene. Was it not?

And oh look, more metaphor. El Zorro is SO GLAD we put Azul through that so that we could remain confused.

But alas, no morning, nor the aggression of passivity will get us more answers. Hopefully, whatever these stars know will be revealed to us soon.

In the meantime, let us not silence ourselves just because the night is upon us! There is still much to discuss, and more we can do than wait around only for one of us to go to sleep, and never wake up. Besides...if this is to be the final night for one of us, we ought to make it the best of nights, should we not?

We are terrible citizens it would seem. Blue did not deserve such an awful death.

I was unaware that we could see the stars from here. I wonder when these stars will reward us with the information (that's what we're getting right?) that we've sacrificed for. How exactly are we going to benefit from this besides another fancy riddle?

The ratios are troubling me. Red, if you're right then it should be 3:6 currently? You seemed the most town out of all of us due to your contributions. Since most of us don't have any proof of being town, I would think that it's only natural to rule you out as least likely to be mafia.

Ah...and Midnight Mask will appear soon, I suppose? I wonder what they'd do.

All eyes are on them. I wonder what that means.

I think we are going to have to wait to see the benefit of our decision, maybe not that long since the stars are out.

Midnights mask is so pretty.

I'm pretty sure that Madam Red is town, and I am town too.

I'm going back through the thread to see if I cannot find someone's writing that matches my tip.

Sorry, but I'm a little puzzled here. Since the feathered mask was originally yours, why would anyone else besides you write a line like this? Especially because as I understand it, abilities are associated with players and not masks? Though feathered mask might be different since it doesn't seem to be associated with a specific player, but if so the only person who would know is you and Original Butterfly, and you claim to not know who the anonymous sender is.

So um... Either you or Original Butterfly wrote this poem, or there's a role out there that somehow has information about Cat Mask's alignment and information about what the feathered mask does, and the ability to send messages anonymously. Which is a little hard for me to believe. ;v;

The Star wrote:hope and healing in the distance, the light at the end of the tunnel, faith

Based on the descriptions of what the card does, I'm not sure if we'll see the effects right away. Since the star is associated with healing, blessings and peace, it seems to be a kind of protective ability, though given that it's also a card associated with the future, we might not see the effects tonight? It might be a long-term thing.

I would like to hear everyone's suspicions on other players so far. I'll share mine after everyone else has posted. ;v;

They got the information about what the feathered mask does wrong, so they don't know the truth about the feathered mask. I was thinking that they were making a guess on what is going on with the feathered mask. The ability to move masks belong with another role.


With my writing skills, it would almost be impossible for me to write a poem like that one. As much as I love to write, I'm not that good at it.

Purple Mask wrote:...hold.

Apologies, but I'm a little confused. How exactly is this 'beneficial to town'?

MEOW (This is extremely troubling. I have no idea how this is beneficial to town. But maybe it'll be something that hits later.

Or maybe it's just a flat out lie that it would have done anything at all. It's tarot, after all.

Speaking of lying)

MEOW MEOW MEOW (Oh hooo. No. No no no we are not playing this game. I'm sorry. Except no, I'm not. I sure hope people pay close attention to what I'm about to say. Because this isn't even subtle lying anymore. Please go into this noting to yourself that more than a mafia's share of people have found this suspicious.

Starry Mask, Butterfly Mask, and Feathered Mask have not even answered to the suspicions from earlier and now we're to believe something as clearly damning as this poem? Especially given how this conveniently came up directly after Red Mask and I put you under the spotlight and CONVENIENTLY after the mysterious just-as-damning anonymous note was not listened to yesterday.

I am not buying it. Red Mask wasn't buying it. Gemmed Mask wasn't buying it. Nobody here should. There are clear contradictions flying all over the place that have weak or literally no defenses.

What Red Mask said just now is spot on. Butterfly/Starry was caught in a lie and covered it up inadequately by backpedaling. This is flailing for a defense where there is none. I would very much like to see the explanation for that one. It's going to be weak. Because this is just compounding lies.

Starry / Butterfly is Mafia. I would bet my tail on it. Red Mask is going to take you apart and continue to prove it, and now so will I. We have very good leads as to who the rest of mafia might be.

It will have to take an act of the many faced god for you to put up enough of a defense for me to believe you at this point.)



MEW MEOW MEEOW (Going to be very clear about my intentions and thoughts right now.

Tomorrow night, I am going to have an interesting investigation result. If Red Mask or I die either tonight or tomorrow night, you all can know for a fact that you have very strong inclination as to who has done it. Tomorrow I think we are going to have a very good lynch target. This enormous set of blunders is very damning, but not for town.

One last thing:

Dog has never been anybody other than Dog. This is fact. This and other facts and suspicions so far should lead you to the same conclusion I have.)
