nah I'm not desperate to shift attention, if it takes me dying for the rest of town to realise all their assumptions to date are wrong and if by dying I help town to win, so be it.

At least I'm not gonna concoct some elaborate role claim like lynch bomb to try and defer it.

i'd really like to hear kommando's reasoning too, because at the moment it looks like he's just pulling a harold-level shitpost extravaganza to clog up the game by dropping in every hour or so to say "vote beet!", derail the conversation, and disappear. after his tantrum in the transformers game that ended up breaking votefinder, he's starting to look like not a great mafia player in general

Curses! Foiled again!


Kommando does seem to be homing in more strongly on Beet lately, so that is a thorn in the side of my Avs-Beet-Kommando vs Gaspy theory. There's room to swap one of them out rather than keeping them as a unit, but I think those 3 are each the most suss if it turns out the big conspiracy theory on Gaspy is wrong. I think Kommando just retreated thinking a Gaspy vote was never going to realistically get off the ground, or doesn't want to take the heat for it as one of the main promoters if Gaspy flips as the princess after all.

I feel like a lot of FS's effort posts have calls for role claims, happy to be wrong. They're not overt but if you're decent they don't have to be.

"I'm an archivist. I'm archiving."
OK - so we are going around in circles again around the cop claim.

Let me go deeper so we get past this.

So far no one else has claimed cop - so we have to take it that Dinner is really the cop.

Since there was a godfather, one would have to assume that the cop was sane, otherwise why a godfather? (yes Mills could be a dick here but very unlikely)

So the only way that the Gaspy and TOML are wrong is if they were bus driven. I know some of you are thinking of a power blocker - in that case Dinner wouldn't have got the successful message. So that leaves only the bus driver

I find it unlikely that Mills would give the Mafia a busdriver as well as a godfather. The godfather already messes with investigations, why do they need a second. This also assumes that the bus driver would have to be mafia as a town bus driver would have already said "sorry my bad"

Even if there was a bus driver, the chances that the messed with the right people on the right night seems pretty low to me as well.

So I can say I am pretty confident that TOML, Gaspy and Dinner are town.

Is there any issue with this logic so far?

I think the princess role makes Gaspy lynchproof given how it's been used. A bus driver is a similar style of disruption. It's entirely possible Mills was giving the princess role out without a guard, guessing it would be used the same way Gaspy is using it. Or similar.

No roles have been blocked so a roleblocker is less likely as it stands.

i don't suspect toml. i don't think toml is involved. i think gaspy is working by himself and toml is town

it's also very unlikely that mills would give town a princess with nothing to balance it out. i'd say that mafia having both a godfather and a bus driver is more likely, in fact, and probably less damaging for town.

we keep saying "mills would never..." but there's two possibilities here and both of them are things that a nice benevolent games master would never do. on one hand, an unprotected princess; on the other, a mafia with both a godfather and a bus driver. i think it's safe to assume that mills is a dick.

About to go to dinner, not sure I'll be back before hammer

Not voting Beet because it looks like besides BT no one will follow (also I am still not 100% sure)


I'm already voting for beet. Whos presiding over the events as some sort of grand visier, but then makes sure to profess he is humbly ignorant of any hard evidence, people talk of Beet mentoring people which only serves to futher his image as puppetmaster, seeing how you directed matters in the Greens game i can see him doing a similar thing. All wishywashy. +++

If it weren't for WFD going out on a limb and saying Phyx was town, then hinting, then outright telling people he is a cop (likely undefended) that i'd be calling Phyxs princess bluff and running a dogpile on someone who really does not deserve to be in this cabinet.
Such antagonistic, selfish and glorified gibbering is doing no end of harm to the town, if he really is town and WFD can be trusted to be telling the truth and is shooting straight. ++

For that matter, TOML has not really raised suspicion and is exonerated by WFD (if thats worth anything). ---
Bif is a wild card and i'll probably never trust her. +++
Freudian Slip flies low and so has not a lot to go on, but that might be a perfect hiding strategy for a scum team, a sleeper/worker agent. +
Anidav has not kicked any land mines and so may have leaned from his first few games of Mafia to lay low and look innocent. Or he may be utterly ignorant of anything and is as confused as most of us seem.
Tithin's defeatist attitude and certainty of inevitable deliverance at his eventual death reads precisely like Milkys, and seems heartfelt and genuine, im pretty convinced he has no role or friends.
b_t says im the top of her poo poo list for being directionless, and i profess i poke bears to get a reaction, see who jumps to whos aid, but Auspol plays very differently to the previous mafia groups i've played with. Auspol games feature rare roles, scum who are eager to bus their mates and town who spend all their time arguing about superpowers rather than actually analysing posts. She seems a bit of a black widow, and im wary about her. ++
Avshalom is a ++ scum possibility, but amused me with her break and talk of breasts. However raises suspicion with talk of Bussing and conspiracies, roles i suspect Mills wouldnt include as he likes a non-chaotic game from past experience.

Analysis of voting data should be done.

As I have said before - the princess is a bad thing for the town. It has no benefit, if it triggers its horrible for the town. A scum bus driver on the other hand would be very powerful

i guess that what it really comes down to is, do you want to take the chance of getting down to the wire, having six players, one of them gaspy, and an unspecified number of scum remaining, and having to toss up then whether or not to lynch him when doing so is basically a sudden-death condition for both teams?

#1 - gently caress bus drivers
#2 - gently caress Beloved Princesses
#3 - I'm sticking to my vote

if he is a beloved princess, Mills is a dick for putting the role in without a check / balance

if he is, we're hosed either way, because beloveds trigger on death - not just lynch, so we'd be down a day phase anyway

if he's not and town, he's an arse for lying to us, and it's on his own head

If he's not and scum, we have someone who's stuck their neck out both for him, and our next target

Wed and Thursday are games nights so i've been occupied after work prepping, Shadeoses and the crew turned up early last night so i dropped off right after leaving work, tonight is Battletech and I should be leaving, but food is still in the oven and I feel its necessary i actually try to formulate a cohesive list of whos what in the game and my reasonings. Gut feeling is dumb in the long run and i've been focussing more on work and running the Headspace GC today than looking for tells.
I know it feels like everyone is saying "AFK work" or "AFK driving". But hey. We have other commitments.

Bullshit no hard evidence. I've pushed hard on gaspy since the start of the game and brought up every inconsistency in his behaviour until I couldn't be bothered no more.

I've not bothered with any mentoring or lecturing this game so I really don't know where this is coming from or what the gently caress you're on about.
