Scept wrote:Very well. Zyq's innocent.

Considering this is true I'm inclined to believe him for now (even if it's a 50/50 chance).

In case we have a townie doublevoter/any kind of vote-manipulating role: please don't use your powers today.

Both Draco and Scept claimed to be roles that can't do it, so unless it's a mafioso with those powers, I think that role won't use them this time.

Phoenix wrote:Role reveal often leads to you getting lynched regardless, or for sure mafia killed.

If he's not the investigator, the real one should counterclaim. Alternatively, he could be mafia trying to draw out a counterclaim from the real investigator to find a target, but I don't think Scept would do that.

And that's what the doctor's for. ...If there is one. If we believe Scept, the doctor should be protecting him, since the mafia can't let him live.

Assuming I prove myself to be a voteless townie tonight, and Scept is telling the truth, barring a mafia that appears innocent that he somehow investigated night one... we would already have a decent number of confirmed innocents.

Phoenix is probably innocent too, since he tried to vote for the person the mafia killed last night, not knowing he was already dead. I think a mafia would know who was killed last night.

So counting us, that's four, but I'm voteless, so basically three votes worth of power.

So all we can do is wait for the results, eh?

In a situation where you have the risk of being lynched and the day is ending, a roleclaim is usually the best move. If you know you are innocent, you give the town the chance of lynching an actual mafia if you convince them with your roleclaim, and it makes easier for the doctor to work if you suddenly become a prime target (basically what will happen to Scept if he's telling the truth). Even if you are scum, you may get another day with a fake claim. It's always dangerous though, as someone might have the role you choose.

Even if he is actually scum, we didn't have any solid evidence against Scept and with 11 people left, sacrificing one of the three mafiosi for the sake of getting rid of the investigator doesn't seem like a good move, really.

Switching to abstain because I'm going to die very soon anyway.

POLLS ARE CLOSED
Update and Story to follow.

“Alright. Time to count the votes.” The crowd seemed less agitated than they were yesterday. “Commissioner, if you would?”. He stepped up and opened the box. “Lets see... well, this one's pretty clear. Draco, looks like you're going to have another stay in the cells.” “W-what? I know I'm not exactly a clean slate, but I'm not a murderer!” “We'll find out soon enough, won't we?” “I- I...” He turned and saw the crowd, convinced he was guilty. *sigh* “Alright. Let's go.” He walked up to the podium, received his handcuffs, and was escorted back to the cells. “Alright, that's all for today. The polls open back up tomorrow morning. See you then.” And thus, everyone except Draco left for the night.

“So, who's coming to dinner tonight?” “I know the SMASHING person. Won't even see it coming.” “That's no fun. I like it when they scream.” “You're damned scary, you know that?” “And I know who I'm going after tonight.” “Good. Let's get to it.” And so they set off on their business.

A menacing figure stepped out from around the corner. “Why, hello there- wait, who are you?” “Uh... uhm... I'm...” “Feh. Doesn't matter.” With one quick step, poor Leo was taken out of the world. “Guess we're ordering Takeout tonight...”

“The Holy Grail? Really? That old bird is damned insane. Where am I going to find-” in front of him, there just so happened to be Joe's Cup Emporium. “Goblets to Grails, we have them all!” “Huh... that was oddly convenient.” Upon going inside, a large selection of Cups of all kinds lay before him. “Er, hi, as weird as this is going to sound, I'm looking for the Holy Grail.” “Choose wisely.” was his only response. “Uh... okay... let's see... how about this one with Jesus on it?” “... well played. That will be $8.50.” And with that, the “Holy Grail” was found.

The next morning, as the polls were opened, they were another head short at the count. “Damn. Not again... alright, everyone, the polls are open, and think carefully about your-” “Letter for the Mayor.” “... excuse me, but can this wait?” “I was told to make sure you got it by this morning.” “Oh joy, another taun- OH MY GOD.” Out of the envelope fell Leo's small, crushed body. Everyone was taken aback. “Oh good lord. I- damnit. This is too far. Everyone, we must stop this. The polls are open.”

REPORT ATC 6-420

It seems that the Predators intended target was replaced by another. It made scant difference to them though. A kill is a kill to them. And their use of scare tactics seems to be increasing in severity. They're certainly playing hardball with this. The Prey selected a creature with criminal tendencies as the lynch. Fear is forcing their instincts to the surface. Well, you know what they say.


Draco’s past caught up with him.

Spoiler:

Leo had no quarrel with that boot.

Spoiler:

Yeah, for the best. Voteless townies are pretty much useless, and I wasn't really feeling into this game. Better that the mafia waste a kill on me.

Well, crap. Guess they weren't lying.
Investigations turned up jack. Nyu votan.

Nyu - 1 - Scept

1/9

Welp so much for that choice....

Putting myself to abstain the motherhumper until further notice

Nyu - 1 - Scept
Abstain - 1 - Nyu

Total: 2/9

Mentle votan

Mentle - 1 - Phoenix
Nyu - 1 - Scept
Abstain - 1 - Nyu

Total: 3/9

I have reason to believe that Mentle is innocent. He was switched with Leo last night, so good work bus driver.

Abstain due to no suspects (yet).


Mentle - 1 - Phoenix
Nyu - 1 - Scept
Abstain - 2 - Nyu, Zyquux

Total: 4/9

Did I miss something? I mean, it says Leo was swapped but where the hell are you pulling Mentle from? Hmmm.......either you're the bus driver/in cahoots with him or.....you're mafia. Well, I suppose you could be lying but why would you lie to save Mentle? I know Scept said you're innocent but I'm not so sure.

Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, it would be stupid to risk yourself like that if you were mafia. If you were gonna try that, you'd most likely save it until later when the person was actually in real danger.

That said, Nyu votan.

Mentle - 1 - Phoenix

Nope, nighttime shenanigans.

Might as well role reveal. I'm a watcher and watched Leo last night. He got no visitors, but I noticed that Mentle was where Leo was supposed to be. I'm assuming that means Mentle and Leo got switched.

First night, I watched Mentle, expecting him to be targeted by everyone, but I guess you guys are wising up because I saw that he got no visitors (unless I was roleblocked or something).

But! I targeted Mentle first night. Either you were roleblocked, or you're lying.
And I personally think you're lying. If you had watched Leo, you would have seen the bus driver who had switched him, if there was one.



I know Scept said you're innocent, but there's always godfathers, Zyq voting.
My eye is also on Nyu, but like I said, after 3 games in a row, I think that that's just his regular voting pattern.

Zyquux - 1- Stalin
Mentle - 1 - Phoenix
Nyu - 2 - Scept, Link
Abstain - 2 - Nyu, Zyquux
Total: 6/9

If the bus driver actually switched me and Leo, he should know for sure that I'm innocent, but I still didn't get any PMs. That wouldn't prove Zyq's innocence, but already helps.

Dear bus driver, now may be a good time to talk to me.

It would really be rude to keep this fine gentleman waiting bus driver.

Show some responsibility!

I'm not sure what Phonics has been doing, but I really don't trust him.

Still, voting Nyu for now. And the bus driver never contacted me.
