speaking of that, I did belatedly get the wincon on my sheet once my stuff from yesterday cleared out, y'all had me worried this was some Myst situation with people getting individual wincons and poo poo but it was just the most stock standard town win condition that you could presume all along anyway? What a letdown.

I like the case.

But then I think TNL might have been owned by lurker rules so I feel like AS might get owned by lurker rules as well?

I'm not letting the lurking go, nor am I letting any of the other stuff you've mentioned go. But I don't think there's a sufficient amount of evidence above what I've already got on Tired if that makes sense?

AS has posted within the past 24 hours. TNL last posted in this game about a week ago.

Although, I imagine that your point is that you are more certain of TM than AS being scum.

Yes.

Tired above AS. Then I think there's a fairly large gap to NGO.

Everyone else I believe to be highly town.

I'm in work early tomorrow so I'm out of action here from now on. My vote remains unmoved, not for lack of good cases, but certainty on mine.

ok, I'm gonna take a deep breath and get working on an effortpost

since you haven't hammered I guess it can't be you after all, so this seems like a short-sighted move - I thought it might have to be you next if it wasn't Tired, cause Dead Cows didn't seem to have many allies when I was pushing them... but not unvoting does seem real dodgy from NGO too gently caress

I really don't think it's Nat after all though, which will be in my effortpost

my biggest problem is it seems super overpowered, i mean it w/o a lunch you both end up at endgame. this seems super unfair to scum. that said you are right i can't remember another protective role.

also i reckon everyone should claim. no surprises i'm vt.

Bifauxnen
Aug 12, 2010

Curses! Foiled again!


Ok, so as I was saying: I believe Nat's role as kouhai is genuine, and has been the only protective role in this whole game. flerp flipped town so we know he was telling the truth about trying to vig me way back when, so it's not just a matter of withholding kills on me to fake it up. Nat has in fact successfully blocked things. AA in particular was trying to get me lunched too, and must have been frustrated at that being the only possible way to kill me. Looking back at the previous day where we had TNL die as scum (presumably for disappearing off the face of the earth?), but no other death unlike today, I don't know if they were trying to have another go at me in the new thread or what.

On top of that, Nat knows full well that I love to analyse the gently caress out of everything in Mafia, and that I only get more and more dangerous to scum the closer I get to endgame when the possibilities finally start to narrow down. Hell, in Shine V he got to see me catch some of his scumbros out even while he was leaking all my plans to them! (Atomic in particular was one of them, and can vouch for this) If Nat was scum, I don't think keeping me alive all this time could possibly look like a profitable tradeoff just to save his skin, compared to the alternative of just taking his lumps and letting his scumbros bus him on the way out. He certainly couldn't have wanted to do it for the sake of preserving any power role he had, since he has been successfully walking home with me each night in the last thread.

But of course, he doesn't necessarily have to be scum for people to be concerned, he could be some evil 3P. But we already had jon joe in that kind of role as a yandere. I may not know the full truth about how exactly Nat's role works... but I do know it is a "kouhai", because I am now officially called a sempai. I was waiting to reveal this if Nat got up on the chopping block, and then surprise the scumbos desperately trying to get him out. Just didn't expect it to be me instead.

Shortly after the new thread first opened, my new sheet had my night results removed, (flowery paragraphs and all) replaced by a note that someone was waiting to say something to me, and a discord link. It took me to a room called "cherry blossoms", which I figured had to have something to do with Nat but he hadn't showed up yet. So I was trying to nag and hint at him in thread to check his drat character sheet already so I could find out what it was.

When Nat finally got added to the server, I thought we got to be masons now but pera announced I was actually forbidden from discussing the rest of the game, because it was very rude to change topics while someone is trying to confess to you. :v: I was supposed to just listen to Nat explaining himself to make his "confession", and making his final case for whether I should ##accept or ##reject him.

Nat claimed that he was actually still a 3P, kind of like a survivor except he loses if I die, instead of if he dies. And that he'd stretched the truth about already becoming town the minute he chose me. He said he didn't really know my alignment either. He just guessed that I was probably town, and if I was scum I'd obviously not call him out on being wrong! He couldn't or wouldn't say what the results were for each choice... he claimed he didn't actually know what the results were.

...but I went for it and chose ##accept, obviously. :3:

The channel was closed shortly after I made the official decision. Yesterday the discord link was deleted and I finally got a straightforward win condition about all the threats being gone, and I'm called a Reality-aligned Senpai now, so that combined with the special event's mere existence definitely confirms for me that his kouhai role exists and did something special. I still look like same old basic VT otherwise though.

For full disclosure, I don't truly know how much of anything Nat said is right, and nothing about his role is officially confirmed to me beyond what I've seen play out from my point of view. I can't confirm if anything new happened to Nat, or if he's actually become a Reality-Aligned Kouhai to match me or not. But that's what seems to make the most sense. I think that his kouhai role did exist as this weirdass survivor variant serving as a protective role, and it was supposed to have the downsides of people being real suspicious of it cause he couldn't change it or use it freely like a normal doctor. But Nat chose well. :3:

And I think there must still be a scum left between those two votes on me, cause this is some bullshit.

I'm mad at you bif because you obviously ignored a genuine bit of information that TM provided that only a town could have provided. We haven't had wincons until now.

You are claiming you have had a wincon before now, which doesn't match TM or myself.
I can't trust that NGO is telling the truth as he wasn't the first person to mention just getting one, TM has that.

Therefore when I said yesterday that it's not TM, it's NGO, you insisted that it must be TM and my information must be wrong. You wouldn't even entertain the thought.

huh? No I am not claiming this. I have not had any wincon explicitly spelled out in my sheet till now, in fact when people were asking about it before I said I still didn't see one. I did have that discord link in my sheet instead, though.

Also how could only a townie say that? people have been talking all along about how they don't see any particular wincon in their sheet, and I remember mocking it at the time cause its still labeled a mafia game so just hunt scum. gonna make me go look this up now.

Welly well well, it's better than I remembered. I didn't just mock it, I actually mentioned my own lack of wincon quite early on, haha

Here's links back to the discussion I remember, near the end of the first thread people were openly talking about not having any listed wincon. Interestingly, Nat was one of the first ones to mention having no explicit wincon! Only a losecon! And I claimed my own lack of explicit wincon too, ages ago, when I was first questioning Nat. Even more interestingly, flipped scum Cat joined in the discussion to talk about "what's our wincon??" So.... yeah, only townies being able to possibly say this poo poo is just naive.

Sorry I misspoke earlier when I said “other than”. My bio says i am interested in aliens and humanity must contact them. It doesn’t say I win the game whether we do or not.

game's been white noise until D3 because of the shitshow that has been presidential voting and peragame problems (no wincons, unclear alignments and flips). I only got actively pinged by the votecount stuff.

Cause people just don't get the idea of having fun flavor times but ALSO playing Mafia. "oh no it doesn't say a wincon??" it's still called a Mafia(-like?) game, so if you're not in a scumdoc just assume you're town, come on, jeez

interestingly, even Nat20 was talking about how there's no wincons so he must have been town all along to be able to say that right :v:
