There has been one specific reason for why I've been able to do shorter posts this game. I've been on vacation since last Monday. Normally my big posts come around because I have nobody else to talk to.

I just wonder why you say something like that when it's so obvious. It felt like a half-baked defense. Like you were trying to make it look like you were telling the truth about having done your roleblock even though the situation you just described that you have to be mafia for it to be true.

And if I'm not paired with him, what incentive does he have to distance himself from me right now?

Unfortunately you're seeing a mirage.

Honestly, I think it only makes sense that ChopBam got the item by killing him. By ChopBam's own admission, the 1-UP can't be passed, so VERT or anybody else could not have passed it to him. VERT should have been saved by said item. However, Nodlied's roleblock meant that VERT couldn't use it. So ChopBam succeeds on the kill and inherits the item.

I attempted to. Looked like just a lot of people complaining that Lucario isn't Mewtwo.

What a revelation. "If Cat5 and I are scum buddies, then Louis is telling the truth about me roleblocking her!" Well, yeah, because if we were both scum, then Louis is town by default.

Bad meme, there should be 5 cats.

Today I've mostly questioned what we know to make sure we aren't making bad assumptions. For the most part, though, those questions haven't resulted in any changes on who I think the scum team is.

And those were my quick thoughts. I hadn't and still haven't done a reread of the game, as I said before.

I just fucking woke up a half hour ago. What do you think I've done today?

I agree, I thought that most likely as well. However I didn't see another valid target that would make sense. Shade said something along the lines of an investigative ability. He would use it. Louis has some sort of unroleblock but hasn't used it all game as far as I can tell. As far as I knew at the time, KY just had a masonry. Other than proving myself (which granted would have been nice at this point) it didn't seem useful FRAYDO, I actually didn't think he had a night action. iLTS, if he's telling the truth the only thing he can do is move the mask. If he isn't, he might be the killer. Too risky. ChopBam, likely Mafia, too dangerous to target Mojoman, likely Mafia, too dangerous to target. Claiming vanilla if he isn't mafia, so even less reason to target him.

That's pretty cute. Over the course of a day I go from "not considering other possibilities" to "muddying the waters"

To get my full thoughts on the game I would need to do a reread, which I might not get time to do until tomorrow. However, I can do a lightning round right now. Killing_You: Still have some lingering suspicions regarding early defense of OrangeP47, but in general your role masonry role appears to be confirmed and there is little reason to think scum would have one. Has it been done? Yes. Do I think that's particularly likely this time around? No. iLikeToSnipe: I'm actually still pretty suspicious of this guy. In my mind he's somewhat linked to ChopBam in that if ChopBam is scum, then iLTS is not, and vice versa. Right now I favor ChopBam as scum due to things I've already talked about, and thus iLTS has fallen off my radar. However, I still don't like the feeling of this mask that can control it's owner and we don't really know to what extent he can exert control. The actions that eventually got me suspicious of iLTS himself may actually have been an additional attempt to get attention off of Mojoman. Mojoman: I think he's scum and is the player I'm most likely to vote for today. The DK event probably an event designed to give mafia a day where town was likely to lynch them and turn it around, and Mojoman had plenty of reason to suspect he was going to be voted up again. ChopBam: This is the guy I most need to go back and reread on. The fact that he has the 1-UP is suspicious sure, but perhaps there really is a reason for the transfer that we don't know about. The excuse that ChopBam could have used, but never did, was that he was trying to hide the fact that he had the item so that he could use it to his advantage were he to be targeted by a NK (presuming the item protects from that, I guess. I don't know what it does yet). That would totally have made sense, but he never said it. I will add here as I saw someone mention maybe the 1-UP came from somewhere other that VERT, but again I asked earlier in the game if anyone started the game with an item that didn't belong to them, and nobody said anything. Turns out ChopBam did start the game with someone else's item, Nodlied's garlic. Do we really know for sure where the 1-UP was on D1? (Did Nodlied see it in VERT's inventory N1? Another thing I need to go back and check) Louis: My stance on Louis is mostly going to depend on how this interaction of roles between Louis/ChopBam/iLTS goes. Why did iLTS use inhale when that shouldn't be the action that ChopBam has anymore? I noted that Louis didn't use the correct term to describe what happened to her. She said she was warped, not sucked up and spit out. FRAYDO: I don't like the direction his cases have been going today, but all in all he's probably the most townie player left standing. He volunteered as sacrifice, afterall. Unless ChopBam was his buddy that was quite dangerous, and OrangeP47/FRAYDO/ChopBam doesn't seem like a partcularly likely scum pairing. Myself: You guys should suspect me. I haven't managed to do anything verifiable and frankly I think if I were on the outside of this situation I would be going after me.

Unfortunately I chose Shade as my target again. I thought he might get killed, but he also seemed like the only person I could safely target that was likely to use an action that would be beneficial. The only other person I considered was Louis. Who has the Wind Waker now?

I assumed the same thing KY did. Votes you probably would have avoided, but any day actions before you used yours would have hit.

Nevermind, you already answered that.

Mojoman is still on my list. There is likely a third mafia, afterall. If you think he's so suspicious, why didn't you block him?

For what it's worth, despite Louis claiming to have something to do with undoing roleblocks, we've never seen the results or her actions. It's like she's doing nothing at all. So, you can back her up?

I'm giving you a chance because I do think it's possible something else is going on, even if I still seriously dislike your responses regarding the 1-UP.

I want you to tell me your suspicions, not the other way around. You are the one who supposedly blocked her.

Why would you block Louis?

...Sigh. Welp. Anyone have anything new, or do we just do D4 with our votes actually counting today?

I would have given it to you already if I hadn't failed to get my actions in on N2.

The unfortunate thing for Nodlied is that I'm currently holding the item he needs.
