"That's not a fucking fact, though, is it? The Snivy's sure been disputing that. I guess this opens the possibility that both her and the Quagsire are right? They both put diamonds on her, because Kimiko targeted her directly, and Quagsire targeted Laura who's redirecting everything to Ajia?"...

[[Oh, sorry, Dave was actually insulting me for doing so much of the posting lately. Not you!]]

Dave squinted at the Froslass. "Hang on. So you're saying that Laura is a self-targeting deflector who targeted you last night, giving you the power to use that ability? And you're thinking that's suspicious because it's just... a suspicious role? Or are you suspicious of Laura or her guardian's...

Dave turned toward Arctozolt in exasperation. The 'guardian angel' had been prattling on for a while and he was getting sick of it. "Well, if you say you have useful information, but you're not going to tell us until tomorrow, then that just tells the mafia that tonight is the time to shut you...

[[Hmmmm. Well, by saying you have information that would paint a target on your back in the first place, you kind of already paint a target on your back a bit. I'm inclined to say do tell, but do use your best judgement.]]

[[Yellow claims the mark is an action she took, which was targeted at you but landed on Chibi; Seren claims no, he knows the mark was not swapped, presumably because he is claiming he made the mark himself (or, I guess, saw it being targeted at Chibi in some other way). That's why I've been...

[[I'm playing some LA right now but after that I'm planning to do some rereading and look better into my suspects for a better idea of possible votes; hopefully something useful comes of that.]]

[[Yellow's logic was that a mafia swapper might have swapped a mafia member with a useful townie in order to cause a false alignment read, as with last game when you were falsely told Tetra was mafia. I don't think I really buy that, personally; I'm not sure either Chibi or Jackie were really...

Dave sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Okay, can the two of you explain exactly what makes you think you know what the mark is? You don't have to name your patron or whatever, just say if it's 'It would fit with my patron's identity' or 'My card literally said the target would wind up with a...

[[Do agree with this, though - I’m not reading Seren’s speculation here as agenda-driven or suspicious at all. Just a general-purpose reminder for town not to get stuck on something I basically made up because I did something like that as GM once.]]

[[In general, be wary of treating speculated mechanics as actual mechanics - town can easily get super misled by assuming mechanics that someone just sort of made up are real. It’s good to keep possibilities in mind, but also we have to keep straight what’s stuff we actually know and have reason...

[[I know this was my wild theory to begin with, but I think you’re probably taking it a bit far here. What I was imagining was something where the stringer would have to identify a particular player’s legendary to string them - I think it’d be a considerably stranger, more broken mechanic if...

“Personally,” Dave said, “for the moment I’m less interested in exactly how he knows there’s a swapper and more in what certain player he thinks it implicates. If you’re pretty sure someone’s not a good guy, better spill it.” [[Maybe that’s not what you meant by that? It looks like you’re...

[[Heading to bed! Tomorrow hoooopefully I can take a closer look at some of my suspects, if the thread isn't full of some groundbreaking turn of events by then.]]

("Shut the fuck up," Dave growled.)

Dave's head snapped back. "I mean, that's possible in theory but it seems pretty fucking convoluted to me. If the power's not supposed to tell them anything, then why would you assume this thing that's being publicly broadcasted is the same thing, instead of just being one of the one billion...

[[Incidentally, while I'm thrilled you trust me, I do feel obligated to note that in Christmas mafia, which was pure RP, I was playing Mia, who is a very different character, and was kind of wrestling with her throughout - I doubt my playstyle would look much like Christmas mafia regardless!]]...

Dave emerged into the fair, blinking blearily at the fairground lights. "What the fuck," he muttered. "Okay, so. Yes, I targeted the Froslass, like I said I would yesterday. I don't know how 'Okay, the dread thing works. I've got dread on me rn' could be interpreted other than it did go...

[[Okay so. No daytalk is actually something that might be indicative? The mafia are definitely very aware that there's no daytalk. Obviously mafia can fake reasoning like they think there's daytalk, I did it myself last anniversary game, and town can just legitimately have read the rules thread...

"That's what I said. I have to target somebody and they get plus two. Anyone who targets me, or that I vote for, gets plus one."
