[[Yes hello what did I mi--
“Jean is the strong-guy.”
oh
Well that sure makes things a lot simpler for me, and a lot seemingly simpler but actually more complicated for you all 🙃
Guess today I'm going to have to try to persuade you all that Chibi is scum after all goddamn it.
First, I put some posts into multiquote to respond to as I was reading through...
[[Yeah, Ebony has been very aggressively town and the biggest thing that’s kept me from being suspicious is the fact that she started the Porygon train on D1. A good mafia would never start a vote train on their own teammate. That, and Salem had a hard townread on them and Salem has had stellar judgement this whole game.]]
It's really not the case that a good mafia
would never start a train on their own teammate. Chances are, if there's any simple non-galaxy brain thing a
good mafia would never do, mafia will sometimes do it, so that people will say well this clears them because a good mafia would never do that.
Just last game, Equi (mafia) cast what I think was the first vote in the entire game, for Lusamine (mafia).
Still, I refuse to cast votes until chibi returns and @Goat and@dragonfree defend themselves too.]]
I'm still very confused as to
what you have been wanting me to defend myself against (besides Chibi's accusation, of course, but this is
before that even happened). You have been constantly hammering on "Free is suspicious" since yesterday but have named zero actual reasons why you think so, other than finally today one brushing unsupported mention of me supposedly gunning particularly hard for Equitial yesterday, which I don't think is even remotely true. (Is this based on, like, the fact that I spent a lot of time actually going through Equitial's posts to try to be sure how I felt about him, while everyone else more or less just took it as a given that Equi scum since the beginning of the day?)
Can you please actually explain
why you've been finding me "weird"? You've been bizarrely cagey about it. I kept thinking every time you wrote confident posts about "Free is sus, she's been acting weird" that you were about to explain what you were talking about, but it never happened, and I find it super strange, like you've just been trying to plant this idea that I'm very suspicious in everyone's heads without actually having to back it up in any substantial way.
(Conveniently, it turns out today the mafia is gunning for me, ha ha ha haaa)
So night 1 you read me, ring up BP. What made you go after Anti night 2, after Altair's flip cleared him?]]
Altair's flip didn't clear Anti; the main suspicion on Anti was that the mafia had rolecopped Altair and Anti was trying to get town cred by claiming cop. Notably,
Chibi also claimed to have checked Anti that night, because
that was the sensible move for a town rolecop to make.
Not that I'm not pretty alarmed by SparklingEspeon claiming
another rolecop oh my god are you kidding me, but checking Anti N2 is probably the
least suspicious of the claimed checks.
Chibi was essentially my OCD 'let's go big' check. I also knew I was going to be sussed hard today and wanted to investigate someone who didn't have bad connotations to me, or could mechanically confirm me (I was under the impression Chibi never claimed).
I'm sorry, I'm kind of baffled that you'd been paying enough attention to know Chibi was seen as hard town but not enough to ever see that they'd claimed rolecop? As rolecop, wouldn't you want to make at least a cursory effort to
check if your prospective target has claimed anything, just in case you caught them in a lie? I guess if you saw your main role as being looking for mafia (i.e.
only for the juggernaut, since there's no other role in the game that could only be mafia), it makes some sense to go for someone you think is unclaimed, but even
then I'd think you'd want to check.
[[If I scanned the people I believe are secretly mafia and they turned up secretly mafia, then it would look bad for me today. I knew I was going to be interrogated. Sooo it looks bad if I point at two people and say 'hey I scanned them they're bad guys go hit them not me'.
What? It doesn't look bad for someone to inspect people they thought were suspicious. Everyone here is suspicious of you for
not inspecting the people you thought were suspicious. You really should have gone for them over Mike N1 (if you are town).
Espy's RC picks make zero sense to us townies, however, they make a very great deal of sense from a Mafia perspective (N1: Is Homestar a Threat, or a Helpful Idiot? N2: Is Anti really a cop? If so, kill.). I believe they lied about their N3 check: I'm willing to bet anything they double-checked Salem, found the final Doc, and pulled the trigger.
If Espy is mafia, why on earth would she even claim the people she actually checked and not just make up a list, given just how many roleclaims we have? There's zero reason to think these are the
actual checks she made if she's lying.
[[They…didn’t? Our cop, Anti, exposed them]]
Homestar was referring to how the mafia supposedly shot Altair N1. That
could have been the result of a rolecopping on N0 (I've explained multiple times already why I don't think we can take as a given that serial killer would show up vanilla to a rolecop), although that would also require the fact he's bulletproof too to
not have shown up in the result (I guess I can believe that, if it counted as a modifier rather than the actual role, but). Either way, though, no reason mafia rolecop!Espy would have
claimed to have inspected Altair when she did.
“Oh, my gods.” Wes pinched his nose in frustration. “We’ve been over this already. Steven confirmed Kent’s innocence, which confirms Hana is innocent, too. If I have to remind people of this one more time, I’m going to drown myself in that damn ocean.”
Technically, Steven
softclaimed that he
knew some people's roles but not their alignments, and then said he trusted Kent. This is not actually mechanical confirmation of anything. Especially now that we have a third supposed rolecop.
At this point I'm starting to think Steven may have just been a vanilla who was
wrong, and Hana and Kent have been coasting all too easily on that ever since. Logically, it's definitely either that, Yellow lied about her hint, or one of Chibi/Espy is not a rolecop at all, of any alignment.
Either way, Chibi is mafia, will take a closer look tomorrow at their actions.]]
