Seventh Anniversary Mafia

[Sinderella]

Odette frowned. She looked at the fucking squirtle. Then at the ghost of Watt.

“I actually despise every single one of you.” A huff. “Yeah, hi. Meet your friendly neighborhood Virgin.”

Despite, on principle, likely being the biggest whore in the game, that’s of course the emera she grabbed. Go figure.

 

[Dragonfree]

[[Huh. Does that end the day, like the wiki suggests, or are we still going to execute someone else...?]]

 

[Sinderella]

[[My therapist, literally 15 minutes ago: You need to work on keeping your angry energy under control.

Mafia: Hold my fucking beer.

Anyway, RACING to Ulta to buy eyeliner, stay tuned for my soon losing-my-shit post]]

[[Taking a look at the Discord it seems the day continues, per our lovely GM's words]]

 

[Persephone]

“Hahahahahahahahahhaa oh wow this shouldn’t be funny to me. Uh. So. What we know now:

1) The bunny is innocent.
2) So was the thunder rat.
3) The turtle knew the bunny’s role.

This leaves a few possibilities. First, the fox could be drunk or poisoned. Or they could be lying and were trying to get us to kill two of our own.

Second, the turtle is either innocent or saw the grimoire and planned a spectacular gambit hinging on more or less everything that just happened happening. Given how new the player is and how utterly broken the grimoire would be in this setting, I’m inclined to doubt it. So… well, I guess we know more than we did before. Just no lead on the scarlet woman I want to pursue at this point. Losing two of our own on Day 1 feels too great a risk.”

  Watt

  Rocky: Rocky cannot be the Drunk, due to his role.

  Watt.

He raised up a paw and bumped it against Rocky's rock-appendage.

When their fists met, Rocky beamed at Dave as much as a rock with no eyes could beam.

"One thing that jumped out at me is Rocky here says he's the Butler, and the Mismagius earlier put twenty bucks on there not being a Butler in the game. Rocky, did you get any insight into how your role's been adapted to make sense?"

"Yes, yes, Rocky ask questions about role. Was told as long as the player Rocky picked in the night cast any vote during the day, Rocky could then vote. Even if vote was later retracted, the first vote by that player allows Rocky to vote that day. Rocky chose Dave. Dave cast a vote. Now Rocky can vote!"

Tilting his whole carapace to the side, Rocky said, "Not sure how power is useful, though. Unless is to punish Rocky for making a bad friend. Make Rocky seem suspicious for not voting, question?" Two taps.

"But Dave is good friend, Dave voted! Dave fisted my bump!" One leg, then another waggled in the air accompanied by squeals similar to the time Rocky gave himself moss-stains that morning.

"Now that Rocky have vote, Rocky need to think." He shuffled away from where Watt lay on the ground next to him, a slight tremor shaking his limbs. In the process, also inadvertently huddling closer to Dave. "A lot happened. Rocky need time to process..."

Relevant roles per the above digest:

• Better Odds aka Investigator: You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Minion. ["Hareta or Watt has Prolong."]
• Alliance Expert aka Chef: You start knowing how many pairs of evil players there are. ["No evil players are neighbours."]
• Targeted Attack aka Virgin: The 1st time you are nominated, if the nominator is a Townsfolk, they are executed immediately.
• Status Mirror aka Butler: Each night, choose a player (not yourself): tomorrow, you may only vote if they are voting too.
• Lucky Charm aka Drunk: You do not know you are the Drunk. You think you are a Townsfolk character, but you are not.
• Prolong aka Scarlet Woman: If there are 5 or more players alive & the Demon dies, you become the Demon.
• Big Ears aka Washerwoman: You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Townsfolk. ["Odette or Rui is the Virgin."]

Confirmed info:

• Odette is the Virgin.
• Watt was a Townsfolk. Presumably the Chef as he claimed.
• Hareta's info claim bore out. Odette was the Virgin.

Drake came back from lurking in the corner carrying a bag of popcorn, only to see the Plusle's dead body. "What."

[[bruh what the FRICK. I literally feel like the meme with the guy coming back to the house on fire. Wait so i guess day doesn't end?? Gonna squeeze in a reread between dinner and bed. But this means Wind was Chef (no reason to make up a fake townrole so I guess we at least get good intel from this. Let me puzzle this out... (of couse the cracked stuff happens early when Im away from my laptop oh my gosh)]]

 

[unrepentantAuthor]

Malachai chuckled mildly to himself as he watched the group at large vote for the Plusle, only for the Plusle to morbidly vindicate himself once backed into a corner. He'd never anticipated such an interesting and memorable first day of this game. Remarkable. A pity about being one ally down, though.

"So then, what does this suggest?" he rumbled pensively. "If the Leafeon was truthful, we should suspect the Squirtle in turn, whose own claim has been verified in spectacular fashion. I hardly think it likely that he made a mere lucky guess. Is there some other explanation than that he holds the Big Ears Emera as he claimed? Being unfamiliar with this game, I wish to be certain. Our enemies are given fake claims to make, are they not? Could he be some other role, with accurate knowledge given him to win our trust?"

The dragon-bat stroked his chin with one wing.

"He does seem our most promising candidate to vote for next, if his accurate information does not exonerate him. I shall, ah, put my own scales on the line and cast an actual vote. Provisionally, you understand."

Vote Hareta @Inkedust

 

[Flyg0n]

Drake scurried back and forth, trying to wrap his mind around the absolute insanity. Everyone had been so sure about that Plusle, but he'd thought for sure that the Squirtle had been guilty. "That Squirtle was right. And the Plusle was too. So..." his gaze whipped around to the Leafeon. Surely nobody could be that insane of a liar or that pathetic. If only he knew something useful... But didn't this prove she'd lied? or.... or she was a drunk idiot. Or her own lie spiraled out of control. Like he wouldn't know something about that.

He turned back to the Squirtle. "Unless you knew who was who some other way?" He flexed his paws. "Maybe we should have made the Leafeon vote for virgin. Because then we'd know she wasn't pulling something."

Vote: Rui.

[[This feels more like a newbie play the more I review everything. Mentioning the Virgin right at the start because they knew the virgin was in the game...Asking about the Washerwoman to provoke someone to claim...? Then their claim panning out.

Rui on the other hand... poison, drunk or lying? That'd be an insane plot to lie, now that this has all happened in such spectacular fashion. I don't think she's scum but we have to vote something right? So.... Drunk or poisoned? Her play makes no sense to me if lying. Feels 50/50 to lose a townie or if Drunk... outsider? Wait how do outsiders win? ]]

 

[Flyg0n]

[[@inkedust wait do outsiders have alternate win conditions like mafia?]]

 

[Inkedust]

[[No. Outsiders are considered part of the good/evil faction and have the same wincon as their faction. The colour of their role indicates what faction they're a part of (blue for good, red for evil).]]

Vote Hareta @Inkedust

Seriously?! After I just tried proving my innocence with that blunder?! Please, we need to- Wait... Wasn't it Rui who caused all of this in the first place by saying that I or that Plusle were the Scarlet Woman? What if that Leafeon was intentionally lying all this time? Sure, it could be some kind of simple mistake, maybe they were distracted by some Drunk... Ugh, but Elgyem is said to be innocent, so I can't vote for that one! Rui seems to be my only choice... Hareta, calm down! UGH! Would that Leafeon really be willing to lie about me to force me into making that kind of huge blunder?! ...And is it too late to resign?

Vote Rui @Inkedust

 

[Flyg0n]

[[Oh 😓 Hhh... Do we want to abstain then? I mean hypothetically we learned a lot and if Yellow/Rui was drunk.../? I mean thats an insane lie

@Inkedust Does Investigator get their info before poisoner can act? Could a poisoner even act on N0? ]]

 

[Inkedust]

[[Poisoner acts first in the night and they do act on N0, yes.]]

 

[Panoramic_Vacuum]

Is there some other explanation than that he holds the Big Ears Emera as he claimed? Being unfamiliar with this game, I wish to be certain. Our enemies are given fake claims to make, are they not? Could he be some other role, with accurate knowledge given him to win our trust?"

Rocky tapped a fist against the side of his other leg in a repetitive rhythm, self soothing, perhaps? "Is possible Hareta is Spy. Knows everything about who is who. Odd that in flip of coin between Odette and Rui they focused on Odette since start of day... Why so focused on Odette, question? Bad bad bad, bad bad bad. Rocky unsettled."

 

[Flyg0n]

[[LOL?? If our Investigator got poisoned night zero im gonna chew through somebodys baseboard oh my gosh? What are the odds.??]]

 

[Panoramic_Vacuum]

After a moment of tapping and feeling the warmth of Dave's fur against his skin, Rocky spoke again, sounding more composed.

"Rocky want to remind everyone this is number game. Demon and Minions fear death most. Small numbers compared to good guys. Good guys with information already and no powers should not fear death. Still in game even after they die, no powers to lose. Watt not scared of death. Watt had information. Watt good guy."

Rocky finally peeked towards where Watt had previously sat, before speaking more solemnly.

"Hareta already have information. Hareta claims no power. Yet Hareta scared of death. Why, question?" Two taps.

"Rocky want to hear from Rui after all this, but Dave give Rocky power to vote, so Rocky will vote."

Vote Hareta @Inkedust

 

[Flyg0n]

"Yeah that hunk of rock is right, I think," Drake declared. Yeah, he was smart.

[[Trying to organize thoughts

1. Possibility 1 is that Yellow/Rui is the most galactic brained scum chance play I've ever seen, falsly accusing players randomly with I guess.. fake claim? I think Lyn said those are in the game? But it did get our chef Executed and force a reveal of our Chef, Washerwoman and virgin, assuming Hareta isn't lying.
2. The next is that Rui is our drunk, and this was all one big clusterfrick. Which. lol. But maybe the most likely answer?
3. Or Rui was poisoned which is even more insane??
   But this meanslike. Okay i dont math but thats 2/3 chances for Rui to be town and 1 where she's scum.
4. Hareta is lying and is a spy and picked well for their lie? Rui is telling the truth, which means Hareta is a Scarlet Woman.

I have to admit for a second I was getting Mafia-brained and thinking a Drunk is third party and why i was more ready to vote Rui. I feel like we shouldn't vote...? Or maybe Hareta is a safe vote?

After all, the info has been offered and used. Hareta can still ghost vote. It's not as grievous if we're wrong as mafia and we're losing a power role.

Changing my mind (sorry sorry its end of day and I have to go to bed and I'm sweating).

Sorry ZRD! I think its worth the risk. And you're not out if your dead and you gave up your info. winco

Vote: Hareta
