"The slakoth's a liar," Mademoiselle interjected. "He may have made up the part about his ability being the counterpart to yours."
Kimiko closed her eyes and took a very long, deep breath. "Right... right. Yes, of course. Can't let myself freak out just yet. There's absolutely no reason to believe anything he says at this point. Thank you."
[[I also Do Not buy the whole "I'm a Cult Leader but players don't know they're a part of my cult!" Alignment changes are huge and something the affected player should be able to know about, otherwise I'm wallpapering Namo's house with frowny-faces. Knowledge of this change would also explain some of the weird plays I've seen—like Pano being hyper-defensive of Bluwii or Blossom's absolute refusal to get rid of a hostile TP.]]
"It also makes sense that, should they have been converted already, that they
no longer want to own up to that fact, either, since their win condition has changed, so chances are just
asking them about it isn't going to get us an honest answer either...
I'm still iffy on Sidney, though. Unless sans is honest about being able to recruit people overnight, which... given my passive ability, I... would not actually be terribly surprised about... otherwise, I haven't see any opportunity for Sidney to have been recruited. Or unless they were in on it from the start, but... given the wiki, I don't think that's likely."
[[Is 25% mafia typical? Asking out of curiosity; I really don't know the ratio.]]
"Assuming the kirlia is really an oracle and is telling us the truth, we know we have 7 hostiles- er, well, make that six with Laura gone. So... yeah, I'd say this is about an average number."
If Bluwii voting for someone recruits them, then Seren's marking freeing them would make sense (assuming Bench is clear and has not changed alignment).]]
"See, I marked Bench last night... sans voted for Arctozolt the day before. So either Arctozolt was converted yesterday as soon as he was voted, or it doesn't take effect until the night starts, which means... well, I'm unsure exactly, but I thiiiiink my mark would override sans' takeover?
If it's the former, then Blossom AND Bench have already been converted (and I don't think my mark can cure people who are already converted which means marking Bench was a waste of my action...). If its the latter, then it's possible I saved Bench, which opens the possibility that I can also save Blossom by marking her when the next night phase starts.
Frankly I'm hoping to get input from... a few others before I pick a marking target tonight. My last two have been based on my own personal intuition, but I think... I think tonight, I'd appreciate some guidance."
[[ Alright, I'm wiped... going to bed now. Probably will not bother trying to keep up with thread during the day tomorrow, as I'm actually going to be off work at eod this time since it falls on a Wednesday... I'll do my catch-up then. Good night y'all. ]]
