there's no new information an investigation can yield for me. if you're executing anarc today then it would only make sense to execute me tomorrow.

btw bif posted in discord at 9:43 and then made their post in thread at 10:22 for the record. i know everyone will be mad at me after this game is over but c'monnnn.

I promise that no matter what happens, I'll be mad at CPig.

i also understand that people think i'm stupid for scanning green wing but that's exactly it, i'm stupid. there are so many safe scum investigation targets it makes absolutely no sense as scum. i could confirm ia's keane investigation, i could have investigated tm, i could have investigated IA under the guise of a thrallcheck. why would i scan the nk target? there's zero game utility. i genuinely still thought lotus was town and that i had been right about jadecore until early this morning. confirmation bias is a hell of a drug.

So why couldn't GW be thrall from your perspective?

probably because from an earlygame perspective i feel like lotus pocketed me in retrospect. when the competing claims came out D1 Lotus was one of the few people to side with me openly and i really bought in. i haven't played mafia in a long time and i got really flustered immediately doing this especially with a format i didn't understand.


i see now the d2 outcome didn't really matter because it was between three townies. i felt really good about the jade vote at the time, I felt like there was a pretty clear articulation of why jade was scum and not so much on the other end. i made more than a few posts about why i thought anarc was town, my mistake was assuming that scum were fighting to protect jade for some reason. the way the votes broke down should have made that clear but again i was lost in the sauce.


i understood from a game theory perspective the utility of the lotus vote and obviously it was the right move, i was so sure about IA(my counter-claim buddy) and salad(my Wizard investigation) that I just filled in the blanks with that same level of confidence.

I'm not gonna get mod killed for sharing communication. They basically admitted it. Unless they are town and want town to lose by me thinking they were scum. Which makes zero sense.

I am sure our helpful mods would clarify what counts as communication and you can run a paraphrase past them to make sure it's acceptable.

Cool so my strongest preference would be salad today because of the scum result, then IA on the offchance that they've been enthralled by the dastardly wizards and aren't one. If the game was still going after that I sure would be surprised.

Well now that we have no more dabblers, it's not even like we'll get a result so sombers vote won't help. And I'm sure ia will make up a result that makes y'all continue to think I'm scum and confirmation bias or whatever so gg probably. Stupid loving town.

Night 5

Somberbrero had been suspicious from the very start. Now, with less than half the original party left alive, Somber was cornered by four people, all holding blunt instruments.

We will omit what happened next to preserve the sensibilities of the readers. Suffice it to say that Somber the supposed Psychic was pounded, pummeled, pulverized, punched, and also had his rear end kicked. Fatally. :wotwot:



It is now the night. Psychics, sharpen your senses. Dabblers, calibrate your instruments. Improviser, work your magic!

…Wizards, plan a murder.

Day 6

The first anyone noticed CCKeane was missing was that they didn't show up for breakfast the next morning. This wasn't too unusual - many of the survivors had become paranoid - but CCK didn't take any room service, either. Eventually, everyone split up to look for CCKeane... only to find they'd disappeared.

No one noticed the new painting in the gallery, with a very familiar face...

The fact that my posts tend to be read at scummy in EVERY GAME where I'm town really helped them push the narrative and y'all are just going along with the ride.

Hey I have an idea.

My POV: we have 3 town and 2 scum left
Narrative IA and salad are pushing: we have 4 town and 1 scum left

If I'm scum, and you vote me out today (meaning somber was scum too) the game ends.

If we vote salad or ia, they kill a townie tonight, the game continues and we'll be left with 3 (2 town 1 scum)

That'll prove my point. Give me one more day so we can turn this around.

If I'm lying, you can just vote me tomorrow.

It is Anarc as I, the town psychic, have claimed. As you, in your hearts, have felt. As our fellow dead comrades have proclaimed.

Do the right thing and lunch this scum into the sun.
