Translation: Dancer is way more lurky than usual and parked a bad vote on Gulag, sure. I'd buy that, but it's a weird push to make out of nowhere at day end.

What about 2 penny bottle imp, AA? Also can you articulate your thoughts on Paul in a little more detail OOC please? I'm still getting bad vibes from him.

Not voting out a confirmed mason, even if this is a fakeclaim the alternatives are that Tommu immediately counters them tomorrow or he and Tommu are scum together.

Flip that on its head, what benefit would it serve for theoretical Scumdima to try and flip the vote to Dancer and then back off? I guess maybe a no-execute but that's garbage.

Anyways go look at Steak and tell me what you think. The more I think about it the less happy I am with Dancer, lurking through two solid days pretty much nullifies their miller claim's cred - but I'd still like input on my gutfeels about steak-n-shake.

I buy steak might be distracted by other ongoing games. It is curious that outside of penny the best thing they got is lying about lie detect on birb.

Looks more disengaged than anything, but again dancer is MIA and you effectively saved him after taking the lead on him after pushing two penny rather hard.

Don't forget, Podima has been asking for a lunch to finish before it gets too late and when we almost in agreement, they pull away.

Thinking dancer tonight, and then Podima tomorrow based on Dancer results.

Nah I'm pretty active this game. It's just that stirring the pot and asking for reads on people I have no opinions on yet in day 1 is a nice way for scum to get people looking the wrong direction.

It is perfectly reasonable to raise an eyebrow at how fast votes flip over to someone else when it was seemingly difficult to build a majority in the first place!

to explain before hammer, and get more into my personal meta than i'd honestly like.... but well this has come up in several games since i made the conscious decision to change my d1 meta, that i feel it bears elucidating.

if you've noticed a shift in my meta you're correct. the reason is that i decided that i want to stop getting lunched d1 every game. this accounts for my severe decrease in d1 posting, as well as a decrease in aggressiveness. i'd much rather survive to play real mafia more often, so that's why i made this decision.

Without really know what, everyone agrees that Internal Affairs is certainly up to something. Even just their presence in the precinct has already thrown the day-to-day into chaos.

"I look like I'm one of them," Dancer pre-empts, "But really, I'm not!"

For awhile, this holds, and they're left to their devices. But as the day drags on, more and more officers interpret Dancer's conspicuous silence as an admission of guilt. At the end of the day, an agreement has been reached: Dancer will be suspended indefinitely.

At the end of the day, a memo goes out releasing Dancer's HR records:


Dancer, self-aligned Double-Agent (Miller Variant) has placed on suspension!

Dancer's HR File posted:

Undercover: No one knows you are actually undercover except yout handler - and they're mising in action. Keep your eyes peeled for other officers that may mistake you as one of the bad guys...
Evade Capture: Once per game, at any time, you can attempt to escape the NSA Agent. If you successfully target the NSA Agent, you win the game immediately.

Shortly after the memo about Dancer's suspension goes out, a reply is quickly broadcast to the precinct:

"Metro City PD, thank you for your assistance in helping my locate a rogue operative asset. I wish you good luck in your internal affairs dispute. Perhaps I'll be lucky enough to work with you all in the future. Signed:"


Hal Incandenza, NSA Agent (Lyncher Variant) has achieved their win condition and leaves their post!

:siren: Night actions in 24 hours or sooner, via PM or discord. Game will go back up immediately upon getting them all. :siren:

Everyone returns to the office the following day, baffled by the how the previous work day played out. Strange government agencies in the precinct? Who knew!

You sit at your desk and review the station's daily notices. It appears that:


Tommu, Buddy Cop (Confirmed Mason Variant) has been placed on Administrative Leave!

Tommu's HR File posted:

  • Dynamic Duo: You and your partner have been working together forever - and you wouldn't have it any other way! You know they are also a member of the Boys in Blue. If you or your pal are suspended or placed on administrative leave, the other will retire at the end of the following day.
  • Deskmates: You and your partner may communicate outside the game at any time.

Your peers all seem to congregate around Tommu's desk, lamenting him being removed from his post. You notice there is an extra Ballpoint Pen on Tommu's desk.

:siren: The deadline for this day will be Thursday, Decemeber 26 @ 8:00 PM CST. :siren:

Deadlines will all be 72 hours or less moving forward - I just wanted to accommodate for folks' holiday schedules (and mine, too!) with this one.
