Another Side, Another Mafia game. (Kingdom Hearts UPICK)

...Do you even know what my action is?

I stayed awake to wait for drandahl's post because someone told me to. ;v; I'm going to bed now.

Actually, Drandahl, I should ask you directly since I feel I deserve to at least know why you've decided to burn me alive, which is very mean and plain awful to do to a person and should never be done, ever. I know there's no ulterior motive other than just "lol set the world on fire \o/" and not care who exactly you kill, but why did you select me, anyway?

Feel free to correct me on pronouns. I looked through the introduction subforum briefly and checked profiles when I remembered to.

Kiyoko: Joshua. Her behavior seems consistent with my VDex Mafia memories, which means she'll kill someone's kokoro one way or another. I'm intrigued by a comment of hers about having an "incentive to try to live a few phases" instead of allowing herself to get mislynched for the sake of information, along with calling Alca her "best friend." The former sounds like a win condition to me, but for all I know that incentive could be having dinner with Roxas. (I'm not saying I think she's neutral. I've seen at least one game in which town had win conditions.) The latter might be a reference to a variation of masons, which I kind of alluded to earlier without knowing what it was called or even the exact nature of the role. Overall, I don't have much of an opinion since Kiyoko's generally helpful regardless of alignment.

Luxaria: Recently hinted at a role. Has been doused in oil and contributing a lot to the discussion. I'm inclined to think Luxaria is town based on activity alone and how they're encouraging us to think of a variety of possiblities while reminding us of points we may have forgotten. That's pretty beneficial to town. I have a feeling Luxaria will go under the "helpful regardless of alignment" category after a few more games, haha.

Alcasync: Roxas. Notable for being the first person not only to vote in the game but also to do so correctly if we disregard potential framing shenanigans. This makes Alca the most trustworthy person in the game if that's the case. Received a gun from Eleni and used it to shoot Rasei, the person formerly known as most likely to be lynched next phase.

Linking list of reads for future rereading. I think Alca posted a more recent list, so I'll probably look for that later. It's getting waaay too late for me to add more to this post.

Mr. Alice: Demyx, Mafia. We found out near the end of the phase that Blaire's power allegedly involved hiding someone, possibly a jailer role. Did not put up much of a defense and appeared paranoid.

Drandahl: Jiminy Cricket, Neutral? Part-time green texter. I guess Jiminy visits 4chan. According to Eleni, Drandahl visited Luxaria. Based on this post, I wouldn't have thought he was the arsonist since he considered the role dangerous. Anywho, Drandahl confirmed that he's our neutral arsonist, so there's that.

AliceofOz: Said that town stunned Blaire; mentioned passive stun; specified that she thinks the N0 clears Kiyoko of sending the NK; and sided with Tiki about preferring to vote for Rasei but ultimately voted for Blaire given the situation ("the lynch is between Mr. Alice and NL and voting for a third person is useless"). That's pretty reasonable to me since it was 2:07 PM PDT. Overall, I find the first bit of information useful, but I'm fuzzy in regards to alignment.

Linking her post because I might want to reread it at some point.

Tiki the Troll: Donald Duck. He likes gifs. Started off voting No Lynch explaining that he did not want to commit to a vote just yet and later switched over to Rasei near the end of the phase. He acknowledged Alca's opinions about what may have transpired at night; remarked that Blaire isn't good at defending herself; suggested that the arsonist might be neutral; expressed concern about tailoring and its impact on the ratio; speculated about voters; considered a Rasei lynch; and asked what should be done at night. I think from the list of activity you can tell I'm not sure what to make of Tiki. I remember advocating no-lynch quite a bit when I started playing mafia so I wasn't particularly suspicious about Tiki doing that. More surprised, honestly, since there were already votes on Blair and choosing to do something else doesn't strike me as newbie behavior. Some posts seem to suggest that this is basically his MO?

Rasei: Lea, Town. voted using RNG, no vote, and no lynch. I do like using RNG to drum up discussion or to help me make a decision during quiet day phases, but this was far from a quiet day phase.

Claimed the following.
(1) Her ability is active during the day.
(2) Her ability is active at night and involves protecting a single person throughout the game. She also detonates when targeted.
(3) She has a 50% chance of dying during the day for reasons unrelated to lynching.

Rasei retracted the first claim and part of the second. So far we know that she wasn't a bomb because Alca shot her and nothing happened. Besides the bomb part, her ability sounds really limited to me--at least initially. I'm not clear on what she means by "on [her] own," but Luxaria's interpretation that Rasei needs to personally activate is leading me to wonder whether it's sacrificial in nature if it was supposed to be good for town. In that case, one of her abilities was active during the day.

Eleni: Gunsmith and tracker, currently vanilla. If Rasei is truly town, I don't think Eleni's mafia. Rasei was basically a guaranteed lynch, after all. The only benefit I can see from gunsmithing Alca and sharing tracking information would be to build up some cred, but that seems farfetched. The ratio wasn't exactly in the mafia's favor, after all.

TL;DR
Probably Town
Alcasync, Eleni, Luxaria

???
Kiyoko, AliceofOz, Tiki

Neutral
Drandahl

I bet there are typos, lapses in logic, link errors, and more in there somewhere. Good night, it is 2:10 am.

MRW I wake up to check the thread:


Wow, I missed a lot of excitement. And Jiminiy Cricket is a firefly now? Huh.

Kiyoko wrote:That said, how confident are we that AliceofHearts is town and drandahl/Cricket is neutral? Because I know I've been recommending vigilante not to act, but let's say that a hypothetical vigilante targeted, oh, say, Tiki/Donald?

Wait, what?

I second (third, fourth?) the notion that Kiyo is scary. :(

(Accidentally edited this post instead of posting a new one and I forgot what I originally said but umm it was something like)

I want to say that Tiki and plotstickers are the remaining mafia, but usually it's not that easy.

I'm okay with waiting until rollover though.

(or something like that)

Plotstickers was one of my reads as well, Alca, but I'm not sure about Tiki. I'm working on my list and thoughts to post before rollover, since it very well may be my last chance to post in this thread. ;w;

Okay so this is the other post I was going to make but umm.

I just wanted to add, in case anyone got the wrong idea, that Kiyoko/Joshua is not our hypothetical vigilante. This isn't to say that we don't have a hypothetical vigilante, just that Kiyoko/Joshua is not it.

In case anyone is worried about Kiyoko/Joshua going trigger happy on the thread, what with all this vigilante talk. ;v;

well, considering she's been talking about killing me, consider me worried about a trigger happy vigilante in the thread. :P

Not sure what you want me to say, there. People started to suspect Rasei, so I switched a vote to her. I didn't vote against Mr. Blaire, who flipped Mafia, no, but I also know Blaire's reputation for being easy to frame, with how poorly she defends herself.

Beyond that, you and Alca have dominated the thread, with Lux filling in any blanks with her spreadsheet style. I don't know what I could do at this rate.
