oh hey, first off, some of you wanna unvote Asiina while we talk over some very important stuff!

Next up - mason chat.

It would be better for the mason leader/recruiter to be doing this himself, but with only 8 hours left, and me possibly being distracted right around deadline (got an appointment that starts right at deadline, I'll prolly be waiting around with time to phonepost just before, but may be busy driving in the leadup to it) it's better to out this sooner than later. They've been mentioning outing our masonry earlier today, which I was against unless we had any reason to have to. But now they brought it up again so we could "save Mithross". I'm not sure whether Mithross should be saved, but I agree that we should out our information so we can have a proper discussion where y'all fully understand the factors involved. So if he's got any second thoughts, he shouldn't have dropped that in the chat then buggered off. :colbert:

I'll wait a little longer to spoil ALL the details, but I was recruited into a masonry that included Mithross from the start. Mithross has privately claimed a valuable role. However there has been no payoff to this powerful role. Also Mithross has been nearly as quiet in masonchat as he has been in thread. Tobbs openly suspected Mithross in our chat, as well. I thought the others did too and we were just hoping to see if his role either helped out or got him caught somehow.

Asiina, if you are town can you please just give us a lumpenlist or something, goddamn. Even if you haven't been paying attention just a quick gut read on who sounds fulla poo poo might be genuinely nice after all this night action bingo.

A randomly generated list would be about as useful as any kind of lumpenlist I could make. Like I don't see how it would be at all meaningful for when I flip VT.

Looking at Nat20's nice bunch of posts, I could not have told you 90% of that information about claims or results. I don't know if his logic is off somewhere, but assuming that it's fine, then I'll vote for IS or Mith.

I was trying to think about claims and the only thing I really have in my favour is I claimed VT on D3 which is pretty bold since you know I'm likely not a ninja since two ninjas flipped. That's really all I got.

IS has been part of the push on Asiina today, positing perhaps that she's KB's partner. There's some solid enough meta reasoning here based on past knowledge of KB, it's not going to shake the earth, but I give it some credit as an argument with a decent substantiation. Subsequent to my claims that I thought Asiina was town there's been gentle poking on me about where my vote would go. If I had to say something was suspicious it would be a failure to engage with Asiina's reasoning on her exhaustion with the game. Especially considering the most recent IS post dictating that he's not enjoying it all that much either. Whilst a failure to adapt a claim quickly is usually a black mark it's honestly not all that bad and he's also at work, so I would imagine a more substantive counter will show later.

I'm leaning town on IS for the moment.

Nat20, I'm not entirely sure what you're going for in the bolded above. Asiina's stated she felt disengaged from the game and hasn't been able to get into it. I'd have rather not been VT so I can understand that perspective, but have been trying to engage (particularly today) despite that. I'm not sure how my "case" (it's really more of a theory) on Asiina is supposed to change in light of her stating that. It's not new information and her defense to this point has been :shrug: .

I never said it was just cause I was VT, I was saying it was a combination of that plus multiple scum teams so scumhunting is extra difficult, lots of people claiming kills, and Australians posting a lot while I'm asleep so it felt like there was always a massive amounts of posts to come back to.

Okay, I see that point, although I suspect you for 3P, not scum :v: That said, you've been quiet enough to this point that I don't think you'd have been first on the list for targeting by tracker/watcher.

It's also theoretically possible you have a role that doesn't require you to move/visit, isn't it?

Curses! Foiled again!


might be ages till Mithross shows, if ever, so let's finish this up, sorry it's been taking a while, had to give Minifauxnen some breakfast and she is annoyed that I am distracted with Mafia

The masonry started with TQ, the recruiter, who claims to be Choco Bill. The other mason member was Mithross, who claims to be Choco Billy. The flavor of our masonry is the Chocobo Ranch. TQ has been far more talkative in masonry and sounds townie to me, also I think mason recruiter would be a weird role to give scum in this setup, especially since it would be awfully unfair to the scum team that doesn't have one. Maaaybe there coulda been a Jenova cult but my alignment is unchanged. :cheeky:

On N1, TQ recruited me. The plan was to recruit me then KB, but Moat's flipped forced us to reconsider so on N2, TQ recruited Tobbs. Then YPM softclaimed and TQ recruited him next on N3.

Mithross has claimed watcher and as much as that is a wonderful role for town, I do find it a bit suspicious that such a valuable role was given to an NPC like Choco Billy. So far, all NPC's have flipped vanilla, and all special roles have been either main character PC's or scum. Mason Bill as a mason recruiter I can accept more easily for the special mason flavor.

On N1, Mithross claims to have watched KB with no visitors. He didn't claim this straight away, wanting to get a bit more comfortable first with the idea of me being town.

On N2, Mithross claimed visiting GeneX, which made everyone very suspicious of Mithross for a while since he didn't die. He also theorized that some bulletproof scum coulda come to kill GeneX even though he'd already claimed he only saw B- visiting...? He wasn't making much sense but seemed to be just as confused about the N2 Gene business as we were. And then GeneX claimed the counter only works on the first person to visit him, according to some rule of operations poo poo. If Mithross flips scum I got no idea if he could be in cahoots with GeneX... you'd think they'd work out their claims more ahead of time to match up, but Mithross seems to be geninely busy and distracted a lot of the time so he coulda screwed up as scum.

On N3, after YPM softclaimed, naturally Mithross watched him. He saw only himself and GeneX visit YPM. So if GeneX and Mithross aren't on the same scumteam, Gene's mime visit to YPM was probably legit.

N4 and N5, Mithross continued to watch YPM, with no other visitors except himself.

I can't help but wonder if Mithross is scum and the reason he hasn't killed YPM is cause he's claimed watcher and is thus stuck watching the cop to prove his townieness. No idea why the other team wouldn't have killed YPM instead, though. Unless AA is scum, who genuinely never noticed!! :v:

Sure, it's possible. I mean it's not possible because I know what I am and I don't have a power role, but from your POV sure.

I visited YPM N4.

Jail Pod ->Jail Bif ->mime Nat 20 -> mime YPM -> cop TQ

I was under the distinct impression that YPM copped Asiina, got a scum result, and thus voted for her vaguely, trying his best not to fullclaim (because, as AA demonstrated and/or lied about, it’s possible people may not have caught it, even after you made it blatant); is that inaccurate?

Because I’d rather vote for a copped scum result, but a lying watcher is nearly as bad.
