Bif is probably town because in Anidav's mind she's a doctor

While I'm happy to have you all trust me that easily if it will bring you to the light of Christ, my conscience compels me to urge you all to caution in this regard. We have all come here for our own reasons, so surely I am not the only one of us with some ability to affect these evil spirits. But I doubt that all of us can be so benevolent.

You doubt a mere child, one of our Lord's precious gifts, but don't see fit to suspect the first one of us to fall to demonic influence?

What if scum exist only as possessions from the mod? And lynching them just makes them possess someone else? What if the only way to killbscum is to exorcise? What does that camera do?

Is this a pure fantasy cooked up from your Pokemon-addled brain, or do you know more about these ghosts than you're letting on?

Personally I find the idea ludicrous. If exorcism was the only way to permanently end a ghost, instead of merely freeing someone from its power, they would hardly wish to make their influence so blindingly obvious.

I can't say yet if Mith would do such a gambit to fool us, but I'm beginning to think the ghosts must have some way to affect either themselves or their allies. If they could only affect the innocent, it would be child's play for us to confirm who was truly possessed.

So if not her, another ghost could definitely attempt it in the future.

The crystal ball is unclear. All we know is that a holy light shined upon you. We don't know if this cleansed you of evil spirits, or you decided to stop faking it.

I was having the same disturbing thought myself on the way back to my pulpit. We cannot go on with such a lack of faith. We must know what we are dealing with and proceed with certainty.

What I find most disturbing is this. The holy light of my call to the Lord appeared at 12:34. Mith resumed her normal posting at 12:35, almost immediately. This was hardly time for her to receive and witness a more proper divine confirmation.

SKY COQ posted:

As compelling as the Beet/Mith fight is, Gwyn has literally claimed - pretty much out of loving nowhere - that he will kill himself if close to being lynched. While the sentiment is pro town, pulling it out his early, apropos of pretty much nothing, is giving me hot flushes.

Yes, I too find these foreigners' ways to be inscrutable. But I don't think it's worth actually indulging his self-destructive urges just yet when there is a crisis of faith on our hands.


Mithranderp posted:

there was definitely enough time since your post for anidav to post the holy light, then shoot off a PM to me. like, it can easily take less than a minute to PM someone?

Yes it is certainly possible. But looking back, it appears unsettling. This is a valuable chance for us to prove the power of the Lord.

Tirade posted:

It was this one, translated by bowmore:


Can't see why you'd mention a gently caress up (that I kind of read as an apology) for not seeing the post restriction thing for half an hour if you knew it was coming through scumdoc.

Unless you're wanting additional cover :tinfoil:

I find the specifics a bit unneccessary. But if we take them at face value, she began posting today at 11:03. Kept posting a few more things, right up to 11:14. Then there is a brief pause when she would have received the PM.

At 11:24 she makes her last normal post. If she was still in the thread and just kept posting there without going back to her bookmarks or anything, I can see how it would be easy to miss a PM. But then her next post, in Gujarati, is at 11:56. Again, very very quickly after when she says she received the PM.

Now, posting quickly right after I used the exorcism, which did not say anything about success in-thread, seemed suspicious to me, but I could easily see her posting in a rush to speak normally again. Could she be just as fast with making the switch to Gujarati? No time to even react and soak it in and mull over a bit about what to say now that she was inflicted this way?

I think instead that period in between could be spent working out the plan and story in scumdoc.

Come to think of it, it's odd she even felt the need to mention the exact minute she noticed the PM. Like looking at the timestamps of receiving them is one thing, but she also went to mention the exact minute she noticed, and every time it's off by exactly one minute from whatever boundary we're looking at to the next post. It just feels constructed. And if she flips scum, I'd look at Tirade next for possibly helping with that part of the narrative.

bowmore posted:

with everything I have learned about investigation I think can come to these possible conclusions

1. miss mith pretended to be possessed. I think this is unlikely. It would be a huge gambit as it draws attention to herself more than it provides her a credible alibi of humanity. The only reason to do this is to force the priest into action so he reveals his powers.

2. miss mith was possessed by a ghost. I think this is likely. As we have seen it has created much hysteria and debate from the population of the house and has brought her under suspicion either real or fake from the people around her.

I do find 2 more likely, but the possibility of 1 makes me want to test things ASAP. If she's a ghost, we get an early lead. If she's not, we can then start trying to figure out who would think to target her with an annoying thing like that so drat early in the game. I found that odd, too.

So you're basically saying we need to test it to prove your power and the possession power?

Well, proving my power is less important if I die soon. Though I guess forcing their hand can also have advantages. And one w ay or the other, I think having certainty about what's happened today will make it easier for people to judge what's going on with their own possible day powers.

I discount any possibility that includes "drawing out the priest" because unless the scum have complete knowledge of the game from Anidav that is a bridge too far of a gambit.

They might not have known specifically that the priest would have that power, but surely they could presume somebody had some kind of power to counteract their stuff.

I get the logic of Gwyn's modkill gambit, but think it would've made more sense to just save it for when you're actually going to use it. Announcing it this early beforehand seems to be kind of tainting the results on how people will read him or set him up for the lynch. But maybe he was just eager to share the idea once he'd come up with it?

What bothers me a lot more though, is him coming forward to claim he was immune to possession. If he's scum that gives him a great excuse for never being targeted by possession powers. (I presume they can't all be as benign as just giving you PR's) if he's town, it could discourage scum from wasting their powers on him.
