[Night 1] Odile's 7 Deadly Scumtells Mafia

[Chibi Pika]

Baraz was about to enjoy some delicious fish that he had inexplicably acquired despite the fact that they were playing in a blood sea. But there was a part of him that really, really, wanted to get a better read on that strange, molten human boy. And so...


Baraz threw his arms to the side. "I will cast my vote for Morgan as well." He wanted to see how the others reacted to Morgan being in the lead. More reactions, more ways to hunt down the enemy. This was getting exciting.

I’m leaning to vote to abstain, but real quick, @Sinderella (or someone else who has been more present than me) can you give me a rundown of where the votes are currently at?

Sind's away so we're gonna have to stick with the unofficial count.

[[which I deleted from the post by accident, 5 me, 4 abstain I think still 2 Gabriel, 1 Noci]]

 

[Dragonfree]

[[Well, I need to be heading to bed now, so fingers crossed. Good luck, all.]]

[[bless, ty!

I’m not feeling great about this vote train on Lyn. I get that one might think talking about “looks” and perception while voting is a Freudian slip, but isn’t everyone preoccupied with how they’re perceived in this game, regardless of alignment? Everybody wants to avoid looking sus, either because you’re guilty or because you don’t want to be incorrectly eliminated. In one hand I totally understand the argument for that being suspicious, but on the other, idk if holds much water in the big scheme of things. If anything, Lyn switching from a vote to abstain feels slightly Town to me.

But what the heck do I know? I’m frequently wrong in this game. 😂

Will give my reads in the next post to keep things shortish!]]

Anubis stifled a howl of sheer frustration. The others had their principles, and he respected that. Be he wouldn't abandon his.

"Well, whatever happens, just know I wasn't on board with voting blind, but I hope we land on the right target."

[[buncha stuff with the local wildlife slowed me down today lol

Anyways free mentioned

"Something that's jumping out at me a bit, thinking about it, is Anubis started out like he was open to all options and only later shifted to taking this hardline stance against voting anybody out on day one?"

No, i should clarify (and I suppose this is where the oops comes between ic and ooc flavor. This isn't me being okay with anything this is me just open to "discussion" flavorfully). But yeah i get the confusion. Fwiw I have always been against D1 votes as we know, meta-wise hah, and usually this gets me jumped, which is why I didn't come right out the gate demanding no votes.

My stance remains unchanged (noD! vote outs) but I just didn't think it helpful ultimately to bust out the gate demanding no gates I guess? feels like its unnecessarily unhelpful to solving to argue.

But yeah like. role madness? who knows what could happen during the night??

[[Also my gosh do we really think Lyn/Phan is mafia again because thats just cruel. And cursed.]]

 

[Flyg0n]

[[If lyn's post is right then if we get one more we can at least abstain completely D1 actually? Are we just one short of the tie?]]

[[Yeah there’s a good chance HY ties us up. I’ll have to watch for that because if not I have share my assignment before I flip.]]

 

[HelloYellow17]

Well, Neo wasn’t sure about a lot of things right now, but he knew what he could do: share his (flawless, genius, jaw-dropping) insight.

He blinked at the sticky red ground and flicked his tail experimentally, his gem aglow with energy. Immediately, a list flowed and sizzled on the ground before him, large enough for everyone to see clearly.

Oooh. Ooooh. He could do that.

Spoiler: Neo’s Readlist

Kinda Maybe Good Vibes:

Growly-Dog [[Anubis]]
Fussy-Human [[Kimiko]]
Sassy-Ghost [[Morgan]]

Neutral:

Scruff-Mon [[Matthias]]
Fancy-Frog [[Matthias]]
Glitter-Man [[Wallace]]
Lava-Boy [[Gabriel; not to be confused with Shark-Girl.]]
Leaf-Hopper [[Grovyle]]
Speedy-Dragon [[uhhh, Peridot? I forget the name. Eon’s character.]]
Silent-Shadow [[N. Have they posted at all??]][/COLOR]

Maybe a Bad Guy:

Murder-Bolts [[Nocitlan, yeah I definitely spelled that wrong]]
Floaty-Rock [[Pleione]]

[[Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I do not like the train on Lyn one bit.

Also, I find it just a little odd that suddenly people are advocating not to eliminate inactives…in favor of someone who voted to abstain. Historically, we have always been harsh on inactives and for good reason. The logic was “well even if they are town, they’re not helping anyways.” So it’s very odd to me that now several people are singing a different tune about it. Again, in favor of voting for an abstainer, with logic that doesn’t fully hold up to me at all.

I firmly believe at least one person on that vote train is Mafia. And I also suspect that one of the inactives is Mafia, thus the attempt to divert attention away from inactives altogether.

VOTE: Abstain @Sinderella ]]

[[Also jsyk yellow whatever happened on your post made the text white and almost unreadable on the shaymin theme for the site hah. No biggie, i could read by highlighting but just in case so it doesn't happen again? unless it was an accident.

Also yes GOOD I think we're abstain tied]]

 

[HelloYellow17]

[[I’m not actually convinced Eon is scum, it seems more like a strange miscommunication going on there. However lyrical has given extremely minimal posts that say pretty much nothing except that we must vote today. But no reasons given for why, or why that would be good for Town. Hmm.

Chibi makes me think bulletproof with the bold claim, but bulletproof mafia exist, especially in role madness. And if it’s an attempt to draw fire from scum or SKs, it’s an odd one, because it’s very overt? As a townie, you’d want to draw fire but in a much more subtle way, ideally? You want to make the shooters waste a shot; brandishing a flag saying “hey I’m important!” could have scum reading it as a trap. Idk the whole thing is weird, aaaa.

Im not suspicious of Chibi yet. So far I’m not a fan of the way Perse has slid under the radar without giving any ooc thoughts on the game, and I mentioned lyrical already.

Last but not least as I’m typing this out, I’m bumping Free to soft town. Maybe. Idk. 😂

Those are my thoughts! I don’t think I have more to say lol.]]

[[NOOO dang it I’m sorry 😭 y’all will just have to highlight it! I’m just writing in secret code and getting REALLY into the spirit of the game, clearly!]]

Baraz chuckled. “Interesting. It would have been very easy for the Espeon to claim that we shouldn’t eliminate someone, but not make any moves to ensure this. Now he has proven his conviction by singlehandedly saving Morgan.” The Floatzel seemed satisfied that his own vote had forced a tiebreak where there would not have been one.

So then… if Morgan turned out to be innocent, Neo likely was as well.

"Nice one!" Anubis barked to Neo, wagging his tail. He liked this psychic type. "Thanks for that."

 

[HelloYellow17]

Neo trilled happily. He’d saved someone! And…he was reasonably sure they weren’t a Bad Guy. He trotted over to Growly-Dog and brushed up against him with a purr.

 

[Chibi Pika]

Baraz held a paw to his chest, grinning at all who were present.


“As for my role… I leave it to the enemy to guess whether or not I was lying when I said I’d been given the best one. I hope the wine is delicious.” He laughed uproariously.

 

[Shiny Phantump]

Morgan outwardly appear nervous at all, though perhaps the same shouldn't necessarily be said for her guardian. She held one tendril up to her mouth without thinking, then seemed to think better of it and stopped.

"Thanks for the save."

 

[Sinderella]

Upon the timer reaching zero, Odile arched a brow and regarded each one of her players with a steady, unwavering stare, nodding slowly as she went.

"Huh. Took me lighting a fire under your asses, but I guess I'll take it. Let's see where we landed. Drumroll, PLEASE."

The building crescendo of rolling snare drums echoed through the hellscape, building and building until they ended with a loud cymbal crash as the final tally flashed onto the jumbotron.

She had to do a do a double take, her brows hopping to her hairline. "Wait, seriously?" she sputtered. "That's where you sacks landed? After all that back and forth?"

She sounded disappointed; like she was angry nobody was getting the chop. Then again, it was remarkably entertaining to watch and smell the stress and aggravation being thrown around. She really had picked a majorly decent crowd, until she remembered one player in particular...

Odile turned to the T-posing green-headed human, her lips curling in a snarl. A loud snap popped from her middle finger and thumb and he was promptly ensnared in thorny vines.

"I don't like quiet players. So I'll be taking my lack of kill out on you," she said. She moved in for the attack, but stopped short and brought her fingers to her chin. "Maybe I can find a replacement...I have a Rolodex of brains to invade; should be fun. If not, well..." she turned to her players with a shrug. "You'll be down one. Too bad, so sad."

With nobody else to tear into, and the timer up, she supposed there was nothing else to be said. So, she smirked.

"Until tomorrow. Nighty night, sluts."

The player pool could barely register her snap before darkness encased them.

Night 1 has begun!
Countdown to Day 2 start​
