To be honest I think Sike having been roleblocked is the simplest explanation here, and the arguments that this is unlikely compared to her being mafia kind of alarm me. The Sike-is-mafia theory involves a really bold double fakeclaim. It's possible, but I don't really think it's more likely...

[["Okay, so," Dave said, "Let's go through this clusterfuck real quick. Espurr could just be lying, but this'd be kind of a weird-ass lie to pull out while asking to be eliminated from the game; you're just going to get yourself exposed immediately and have accomplished nothing. Plus asking to...

All right, just to start with, odd-night vigilante absolutely is a thing. You'd do that as GM if you don't want two deaths every night, which is very reasonable. In theory there could be an even-night vigilante too, but I find that vanishingly unlikely, both because two vigilantes is a lot and...

I'll unvote too for now. If anyone else is a vigilante, please speak up.

What do you mean, see above? None of what you just said was relevant to my concern (which had nothing to do with you wanting to lynch D1; I don't think that was suspicious at all). [[Dave squinted at the Raichu. "I'm sorry, you think he's super fucking suspicious and an asset to the mafia...

Yes, communicating about the game outside the game thread is not allowed. That's part of the game.

It doesn't assume that! If doctors A and B are both in group X, and we predetermine that doctor A heals someone in group X and doctor B heals someone in group Y, then doctor A can heal doctor B, but doctor B can't heal doctor A - hence, the mafia can safely go for doctor A. And yeah, I wasn't...

[["By the way, this alphabet thing... it sounds cool in theory but I'm not so sure it's a great idea." Dave frowned, rubbing his forehead. "Look, yeah, this'd make sense if two people healing the same person could kill them or something. But otherwise? Yeah, I guess the heal is technically...

I really loved this story! You make the main character incredibly endearing in a short space (the graphics help in making them really expressive), and I actually cried at the end. The overall concept is super clever.

[["Sure there can be two protectors. There were last time. Nothing weird about it. And it's not really fucking fantastic that here they both are outed for the mafia to pick off." Dave pinched the bridge of his nose. "But okay, I can believe cowboy didn't realize that. There's basically no...

Basically. As it happens Dave is already a character who is pretty adept at not thinking about things he doesn't want to think about and being selective about his inner monologue, so it flowed pretty naturally. Even here, Dave manages to think entirely around the fact he was mafia last game and...

[[Dave gave the inexplicable cowboy Raichu a deadpan stare for a moment, then shrugged. "You can generate whatever the fuck you want out of thin air in here. Won't necessarily be any good, but it's something. Try it. Silver linings, huh." He took a swig of his bottle, finishing it, then tossed...

Lots of ninjas here, including elyvorg's longpost. I definitely agree that there's no good reason the mafia would've wasted a strongman kill on Chibi now (they'd want that for when they want to kill somebody like a claimed cop), and that there's no way a strongman kill somehow works through a...

[[This morning, Dave skipped the coffee and proceeded straight to beer. From the void he could summon nondescript glass bottles whose labels he couldn't quite read, the lettering convincing from afar but actually nonsense up close, like something generated by a neural network. The contents were...

Anyway, I can get on board with abstaining for today.

I think what elyvorg was getting at was if someone has the ability to block their target from attacking, not someone who can protect the target from being killed.

[[Dave threw out his hands. "Honestly? I don't know if I did survive. Last thing I remember is, like, being choked to death by my guardian angel, so maybe this shit is all my dying fucking afterlife hallucination. Would explain a lot of things."]] [[Dave snorted. "Yeah? I'm all fucking ears."]]...

[[Dave scowled. "I mean, as far as I'm concerned the only way to win is not to play the fucking game. Except even then they'll just play it for you anyway, so what's the fucking point. There is no winning when all-powerful fucking party game deities are involved. All you can do is play along...

[[Dave hadn't slept a wink. Probably a good thing, with the dreams he'd been having recently. And so, with gray bags under his eyes, drinking the bland coffee this world had generated for him, he silently surveyed the crowd of players in the board game gods' sick new game. A bunch of talking...

I just reviewed Different Eyes for the event!
