[TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

[Inkedust]

[[Wind was capable of dismantling fake claims, as seen with Bluwii. That's a prime candidate for an elimination target.]]

 

[bruh moment]

[[ something i would like to start the day with: i’m curious whether people think there is a wolf between starlight/pano or if y’all feel their conflict yesterday was town vs town. -q ]]

[[ oof. well-played, windskull. to my recollection windskull had no power to discern the mafia’s identities, so i’m wondering if there was something about their abilities or the setup that the mafia were worried about getting out. on the other hand windskull was basically locktown forever after burying blu so maybe the motivation was just that. -q ]]

[[RIP Wind, gg and thanks for busting Blu for us. That's my thinking tbh, the second part of your post. Wind was someone that's a basically a confirmed town kill with a useful power vs another option?]]

[[Wind was capable of dismantling fake claims, as seen with Bluwii. That's a prime candidate for an elimination target.]]

[[ if i was mafia i would not have been particularly worried about that unless one of us had made a fake claim already, since windskull can’t check truth until the following night, so with this thinking i’m curious whose claim you think might be fake. -q ]]

Dave exhaled through his nose as he looked at the petrified Kirlia. "Still just one person. Mafia's not exactly doing a great job eliminating us, are they?"

[[I think the thing about the number of deaths ramping up as the game goes on makes sense.]]

"Well, hi to the supposed active fucking third-party today. Maybe tonight'll be spicier." Dave waved a paw in sarcastic greeting. "Sans's fucking gaming cult didn't kill anyone, so that helps. Guessing Shimmer just got targeted for being an inforole, but funny thing is there's probably a lot the mafia'd like to know about the setup too, isn't there? Guessing there's something they're worried about us finding out."

[[Anything else?]]

"I gave the Dread to Courtney. Didn't particularly like her, somebody who hasn't had any before."

[[Well, as a starting point if no other information comes out, I think we should try to look into her, and finish reading more of Fray.]]

"Sure. Whatever. I hate this fucking game, and it's going to take eons at this rate, and you're playing half of it without me anyway so I don't see why I'm even here. Did I mention you're a dickweed?"

[[You have.]]

 

[Panoramic_Vacuum]

"Dammit," Sidney spat. "That Kirlia was useful. I wish they'd gotten the chance to speak up more, they were smart. Only one death again last night, though. That's either a good thing, or a really bad thing."

Sidney's gaze slid over to the Alolan Meowth, expectantly.

"Not sure about you all, but I'm interested to hear from the Meowth. What'd you find out last night about that beast? Anything? Who'd you clear, or did you catch the bastard?"

[[I think the two are partially mutually exclusive. If one is scum, then I'm pretty sure that the other is innocent as their argument does not come off as something that was staged. Town vs. Town is still possible, but I'm inclined to believe that one is scum. There are arguments pointing towards one or the other and I do believe we should scrutinise them closely.

[[ if i was mafia i would not have been particularly worried about that unless one of us had made a fake claim already, since windskull can’t check truth until the following night, so with this thinking i’m curious whose claim you think might be fake. -q ]]

It could be a big ol' case of WIFOM, but I'm pretty certain that Mafia shot wind so she couldn't verify Blossom's claim, which has me squinting my eyes quite a bit.]]

 

[bruh moment]

[[ hmmmm... yeah, that's kind of compelling tbh. although i think blossomleaf's claim is falsifiable enough without an orcale that i would need some further convincing before i'd be willing to go for her today. -q ]]

 

[bruh moment]

[[ @Panoramic_Vacuum, when/if you have time, i'd be curious to hear a case from you (if you believe this) as for why starlight might be scum rather than just a villager tunnelled on you. -q ]]

"Hi, hi!" Courtney chimed as she trotted up to the statue of the Kirlia girl. "Hmm, too bad about this one. She was a strong player and good at taking on other peoples' claims. Anyway! Can confirm, I received two dread last night. Says I shouldn't be mechanically affected yet. Two more and I will be disabled, correct?" She smiled at the Mightyena. "Feel free to look into me--I know I've made myself a suspect."

She looked at the Alolan Meowth. "And you! Let's hear from you! Any luck in catching that 'beast' last night? Don't worry--I fully believe you're innocent. I'll stand by you and help you eliminate whoever you've got! I think that crotchety old Mightyena is right: the number of deaths will increase as the game goes on. So let's find this beast and take him out!"

[[I think this post of mine about sums up all my feelings about the issue. I don't think I was leaning heavily on scum before that tbh, mostly not overtly town vibes from Starlight before that, and her post that I quote there kind of tipped the scales. Did not like the dismissal of Blossom's chances despite 1/4 odds not being that bad?? And then her first post today now being on board with finding out what Blossom knows despite being so against it the previous day? Has me doing a big :thonk: Not to mention the night skip and saying "it's okay if we lose inforoles" because of it this early on with so few night deaths... I'm still not the best at figuring out what not!Towny posts look like, but that kinda felt like one if you were to ask me.]]

Well. given the results last night....Nanu wasn't sure what to make of this investigation? Or even what to say. Since he was given the results he....would have expected. If the last one didn't throw him and the Chatot for a curve ball.

"Ah...well. Hm. Given how some folks here are rightfully skeptical about how Day 3 panned out. I did get the results back from my investigation but...I'll leave to the chatot to show them on the Guardian Device." Nanu gestured to the device.

[As it pinged and his Chatot started speaking through it. "....Yeah thanks Nanu for throwing this at me to explain. But um. okay. So. this is the result I got last night from our investigation? and well:"

Courtney / Starlight (Clear)
Sidney / Pano (Clear)
Arc / Bench... Not the beast... but you had inspected yourself instead?

"And um.......can someone maybe explain what the 3rd one is about? cause I don't know what that means at all?? And also as expected Namo told me we're out of time and the beast is now active. So whether you believe me or not is up to you? but I have no reason to lie. Because at this point I'm just going to be open and honest about my role and what I'm doing. I see no point in hiding stuff anymore and this is all that I have. So. that's about it. and I hope it's maybe helpful?"]]

 

[Inkedust]

[[Yeah, okay. I'm done dancing around the point. I'm genuinely baffled that everyone seems to put credence in Blossom's claim--a claim that was a total trainwreck from start to finish yet it's totally fine to put scrutiny on Shini and Yellow (now Abra) despite having claims that are way more believable. Shini is more understandable because of Jackie, but Abra? Why was it okay to sus them out for Yellow's claim but questioning Blossom's claim is weird? I'm willing to hear others out here, since I don't want to be the dumbass who tunnels and ends up being completely wrong (a common staple for town!Inke), so @IFBench could you perhaps clarify what Blossom meant by this?

Not the beast... but you had inspected yourself instead?

I would greatly appreciate some clarity here, and I do not like being accused of being potentially TP for finding a claim and the manner in which it was claimed suspicious.

 

[Starlight Aurate]

[[Well, there goes my theory lol. Pano, I am 50% sorry for assuming you were the beast. I still, however, think you're up to no good, so that 50% is unapologetic.

Sounds like we should hear from Bench now.]]

[[ 😂 50% apology accepted. might be owing you a 50% apology myself]]

[[This sounds like some form of swapping or deflection happened, resulting in your result actually being a result of inspecting yourself rather than Bench.]]

 

[IFBench]

Arctozolt's eyes widened, before glaring at the Meowth's device. "That doesn't add up. I think you're lying!"

[[Hey, calm down! It's not confirmed yet.]]

"But—"

[[I'll take it from here.]]

[[I'm going to have to claim here. My power is a Tracker. I tracked Blossom last night, and I saw that she interacted with only a single person, myself.]]

 

[IFBench]

[[I'm not entirely sure she's scum, maybe a third person interfered in this somehow, but I'm extremely suspicious of Blossom now.]]

 

[Flyg0n]

[[[I am busy tonight with irl errands and responsibilities so please don't be surprised if you don't hear from me in a bit.

In other news we can presume bluwii lied about a lot of aspects of his power, including being able to kill others it seems, but that was sort of a give.

I second that Wind was probably killed bc they could dismantle fakeclaims. This sucks.

Also with the new info from Bench, I think Blossom might be a liar, or some serious heebie jeebies happened. I believe Bench over Blossom in this game any day]]

[[I'm going to have to claim here. My power is a Tracker. I tracked Blossom last night, and I saw that she interacted with only a single person, myself.]]

[[Thanks for speaking up! Can you please elaborate a bit more here? Do you mean you can see if she only interacts with you, or who she interacts with in total? Because if so, then yours and Blossom's claims don't match up, as she said she inspected three of us and you say she only inspected you.]]
