    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    "I'm not sure whether you're being deliberately deceptive, or you haven't been paying attention. 'Sole onus', indeed. I was already talking about voting for you today, yesterday." Whiskey laughed darkly and shook his head. "I don't believe it's worth the effort on my part to pick apart your...

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    'Doesn't add up,' indeed. What nonsense. Whiskey's hand twitched in what seemed to be a tic of some kind. "Or both the Serial Killer and the remaining Mafia both targeted Jean in the night!" he declared. "Or I was right about Odd Night Serial Killer, and they had no elimination action last...

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    Whiskey stared at the leavened canine. "Why are you so sure that the first two deaths were Lovers? We still have no evidence for that, and at least one other perfectly sensible and applicable explanation. Obviously they were not Lovers, and two eliminations were performed, and we were...

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    Whisky blinked. He'd been ready to say all that, and then the Day had just.... ended. And nobody had protected Jean in the night. "There goes the possibility that we have an attentive Doctor or Bodyguard," he growled, bitterly. "Very well – we must assume that no protective role survives. And...

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    "Hmm?" Whiskey raised a brow, then perused his memory of the discussion so far. "No, you're quite right. I am well aware that the Strongman role is generally a one-shot modifier to the factional kill, as I showed awareness of to begin with. I did not believe that it was separate. Once we heard...

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    Whiskey chuckled. It wasn't a happy sound. "I have to say, albeit with some hesitation, that I honestly don't believe the Kalosien is Mafia. I think if he were, he'd be intensely aware of the Doctor and Bodyguard roles."

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    Whisky rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Since we now have confirmation that Stygian was a Strongman, it would appear that, contrary to my assumptions, the Mafia did indeed perform two eliminations on the first night. We may yet have a Vigilante, Lovers, and/or Serial Killer, but none were...

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    Whiskey's attention snapped instantly to Jean. His face shifted from surprise, to frustration, to pensiveness. If Jean was a Watcher or similar, then that didn't prove anything. And Rolecop was an odd, though not unlikely role for a Town player. Maybe— Ah. "Well, that neatly spares us the...

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    Whiskey blinked. "Oh, yes. That one too." Why hadn't he noticed her, as well? [[Probably because it's normal for Espy to end up not posting and it didn't register to me as aberrant.]] He frowned. "Stygian is right. Regardless of allegiance, silence is unhelpful." He growled softly, in...

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    "Hmm." Whiskey frowned, and ran a claw along his horn. "We are rapidly approaching the halfway point of Day One, and we have no accusations. No votes. Given that we are ostensibly in a low-power vanilla configuration with no-role Town players present, I'm comfortable playing aggressively...

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    Whiskey shrugged. "I think a pair of Lovers are an entirely plausible aspect of the game. It's even possible that we have both a pair of Lovers and a Serial Killer in the game, though I don't think it's as likely as having only one and not the other. In a Mafia game configuration, both Lovers...

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    Whiskey's mouth pulled to one side and he rocked his head a little in a noncommital gesture. "Genetically modified, yes. Born, no." He motioned with one hand towards Stygian. "I was once an absol only. Now I am both absol, and human. By choice." Whiskey nodded approvingly. There was little...

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    He nodded, wondering once again if this was Mew's misbegotten doing, or if there were stranger works of genetic science than he yet knew of in the waking world. "I am. And I take it that you are, too... Young miss, what may I call you? And might I ask how you came to be a hybrid, at that?"...

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    For some reason, every time that particular role was mentioned, Whiskey flinched, as if reminded of some dreadful memory of an experience he'd never had. "Stygian," he acknowledged. "May fortune spare us both."

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    Whiskey's face contorted into a crooked smile. "This one is entirely correct. There may indeed have been a single elimination action performed against a Lover, a Bodyguard absolutely could have taken an elimination meant for someone else, and these two possibilities are mutually exclusive. I...

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    Whiskey cleared his throat. "Ahem. I'll say again:" Whisky raised an eyebrow. "My assumpton would be that any Strongman role would modify the nightly Mafia elimination, not provide an additional, second action available from the first night." He chuckled, a little nastily. "Even if that...

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    Whiskey frowned, more out of puzzlement than frustration. "Two town players were eliminated immediately," he observed, muttering to himself. "Judging by the list of included roles..." "It's reasonable to assume that one elimination was by the Mafia team, and the other was by a Serial Killer...

    [TOWN WIN] Fourth Anniversary Vanilla Mafia

    Whiskey strode through the mists with a growl rising deep in his throat. This was some bullshit lucid dream. One he appeared to have no control over. One which connected to nothing from his waking life. One which he was finding increasingly hard to refute the reality of without dipping into some...
