    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[...Unless... the beast is the stringer, and what Namo meant about them becoming "active" D4 was that D4 is when the number of people they've strung reaches the danger point?]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Yeah, this is something I've been suggesting as well - except that if the stringer is simply predefined to be able to string this many people in this many days and there's no precondition for it, they basically just autowin unless they just so happen to get killed off before this point. That...

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Sounds like four, I think? Pano, Bench, Starlight, and Torchic.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Well, to be fair they weren't that close to critical mass until after a bunch of people claimed today, right?]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Eaaaagh I am out of work now but I feel pretty lost. None of the leads I meant to investigate today even feel relevant anymore. Honestly the only kind of guess I have as to stringer identity is still bruh moment because massclaim suggestion? Persephone has been kind of acting like massclaim...

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Oh, maybe? I didn’t read it that way because it was introduced as “this bit of information from my lover” but maybe that was just referring to them thinking I’m a third party I guess…?]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[I am curious about why this is in quotes like it’s words your lover wrote, and yet the supposed lover is saying they don’t want to say anything about “my lover’s identity”, i.e. you, whose identity we already know publicly? That doesn’t make any sense, and I’m kind of tempted to read it as a...

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Well, the beast hunter is unfortunately almost definitely dying tonight (beast can apparently kill them unblockably), so checking anyone instead of attempting to take a shot would probably be a bad move. If we’ve got a rolecop or whatever somewhere, I already invited them to please check me...

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Of course, this is all still somewhat speculative; the condition that lets them string people could be something different.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[I doubt it’s about what words the person themselves has used. The mechanism here is a day action by a player; if the player can identify Pano as a bus driver, that would probably count regardless of whether Pano herself said the literal words bus driver.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Torchic hasn’t posted at all since the stringing happened this morning, so for all we know Torchic did get strung too.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Also please clarify whether the beast has been explicitly flavored as “the beast” on your card.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Your role and Seren’s are both roles that aren’t obviously some particular standard role, like ‘miller’ or ‘doctor’ or ‘bus driver’. What gives me pause about the theory that that’s why you haven’t been strung is that Yellow did get strung, and is also not quite a standard role, though maybe...

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Yeah, I think the patron connection is busted. Roleclaim connection is possible.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[It’s pretty clearly not a GM mechanic; Namo explicitly talked about “the player in question” or whatever it was.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[If the stringer strings by guessing someone’s role, it would certainly make sense that fakeclaims wouldn’t get strung. Hard to know for sure, though.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Well, nothing about them quite seems similar to me, save seeming third party and I guess being implied to be active during the day. The beast is apparently flavored as a beast; the strings are flavored around a puppetmaster. Those seem like pretty different concepts. And the beast is...

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[The string messages specifically imply the puppetmaster will win. I guess that doesn’t necessarily mean game-ending technically, but we should definitely be stopping it from happening, I expect?]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[I kind of doubt the stringer is mafia? It seems a super third party kind of thing - generally the mafia wins by eliminating town in the night, not by just doing something else altogether. And a third-party stringer wouldn’t even know if the people they’re stringing are town, scum or third party.]]

    [[Technically I believe the rules post only rules out roles that end the game when they’re eliminated.]]
