Right now I don't really feel confident calling anyone town including her and it's frustrating me. I do believe Kate genuinely read her as town and when I checked her ISO against her wolf game that I spectated her solving felt better here. Like her thoughts on Kate feel like she had actually tried to solve Kate. I'd guess she's uninformed at least.

Posted: **Tue Jun 27, 2023 5:00 pm**

I feel similarly with Michelle. I think Michelle's solving is in her town meta too and I don't think she'd do something like ask Rondo if he cares town is going to lose if she knows Rondo isn't mafia so I think she's at least uninformed.

I've even tinfoiled that Falcon could be a sin targeted by mafia or a mafia targeted by a sin but I think it's unlikely enough that I'm not going to consider Falcon.

Right now there's either 3 civ 2 sin 2 mafia or 3 civ 3 sin 1 mafia. If we eliminate Dubz, there's either 3 civ 1 sin 2 mafia or 3 civ 2 sin 1 mafia. If Falcon dies from being in critical condition and is civ, it's 2 civ 1 sin 2 mafia (loss) or 2 civ 2 sin 1 mafia. If mafia NKs a civ in addition then the 1 mafia situation is also a loss since it would be 1 civ 2 sin 1 mafia.

So if we did eliminate Dubz we'd basically be betting on some civ deaths not happening. It's possible town could win if say, there's 1 mafia and Falcon doesn't die or if there's 1 mafia and Falcon or the NK isn't civ. But I don't want to risk it.

I had to double check that in my head since I got confused and I'm a math nerd.

We don't for sure. I think she is because it seems like the role in the setup is an every night thing just like Dubz claimed to have. Nobody else claimed the post restrictions or Nanook's block either.

@Falcon45ca i need you buddy

Hey ho, I'm here
hey ho, talk to me about everyone, how you see them, tinfoils and all
Mata doesn't seem towny at all.

Thunal has been pretty towny all game, yet hasn't been NKd.

SVS seems to be towny when they need to be

Dubs is certainly a Sin

Wilgy miiiiiiiight be town, but I'd also not be surprised in the least he's JD

I'd like to think you're town, but you're pinging me w/ pocket vibes a bit as well
I ping you with the request to play the game. I know you care more about the game than nook and working with the only player who seems mech town is just logical

Do you trust Dubz's claim?

About SVS if you are town and Wilgy is town, then she is not, but idk if that makes her JD. She wasn't content about her posting restriction but she burned her posts pretty fast without voting and I don't like it

I didn't mean pinging in that sense, I meant more that I'm wary that you are pocketing.

I don't think Dubz blocking Nook was towny at all, and I''' be surprised if they're not Maf aligned

I've been playing from an entirely town mindset so I'm surprised that's your impression. Especially given that multiple people voiced suspicion of him.

Posted: **Tue Jun 27, 2023 7:43 pm**

I can't tell if mata and Wilgy are literally the team and are wilfully misunderstanding mechanics to keep me as an option for yeeting...or if it's actually Michelle and Thunal and I'm pocketed and they're pushing against voting me because they're looking for a real misyeet

I now reiterate that I hate endgame

I mean, I just see the mech that makes you 3p as not nearly as sound as the mech that made me clear. It's very odd that there was so much questioning of the mechanics around me, but not the claim tomfoolery.

That's actually a good point on the post restrictions that were public. For the block, if Dubz didn't block Nanook someone else did and I don't think she would know if sloth would be that person.

Posted: **Tue Jun 27, 2023 8:51 pm**

I'm looking at Dubz's posts rn and I think on a social level she was acting like a 3p with a real claim instead of a fakeclaiming mafia. Like this reads honest to me.

So I am not ready to go against SVS.
She may not act of she is not in danger because she met the not receive the RB condition and there is that

Mata was defended all game by one or another. She would be chopped long ago if not for ideas like this is her game regardless alignament and she never can play more than D3 without being (mis)chopped.

The way she voiced suspicion on D1 only on top wagons is a big question mark for me.

I was planning on it but I got post capped 2 day phases in a row. 7 per day. Today by Dubz, not sure who by yesterday. That kinda sucked the life out of me, tbh.

The fact that Dubz still hasn’t voted makes me nervous that I wouldn’t have liked what she did with my vote so I’m ok being blocked rather than losing my vote.

I’m breaking it now, but I have no choice since Scotty said I have to post, I can’t just vote in the poll, but not post.

Sorry Mata. I don’t think you’re Doe, but I don’t think you’re town either.

End of Day 5

The man heaved the refrigerator close to two feet out of its nook, and found the plastic coating on the floor splintering beneath the movement. As if he had done it before, he maneuvered the errant leg as an improvised writing utensil. This part took a while, but he knew that the overall picture was only as complete as the sun of its details. Moaning erupted from the dining room. He sighed inwardly as he completed his ministrations and gathered a sizable handful of plastic shavings from the floor. Whistling, he opened a can of tomato sauce and brushed the contents of his fist into the sauce. The water from the spaghetti he was cooking had started to boil over, so he moved to turn off the burner. Then, not to splash the sauce, he poured it into the freshly made bowl of spaghetti. With a chef’s kiss, he picked up the dish to deliver to its intended patron.

As the man entered the dining room, Bob Harmon moaned louder behind his gag. Bound by his ankles and wrists, he dreaded being force-fed spaghetti, even if it was his childhood favorite. That “favorite” was quickly losing its luster after the 7th bowl, however.
The man was smiling as he lowered the plate in front of Bob.
“Make sure you eat it all, piggy,” he mocked.
The man removed the duct tape over Bob’s mouth and pulled the stuffed rag out of his mouth.
“Look, I can’t eat any more. I swear!” sputtered Bob.
The man tsk’d. “You can. You always can.”
He pointed to the plate. “We’ll revisit once you’re properly satiated.”
Bob shook his head. “I can’t! I…I’m too full!”
The man growled reproachfully. “You. Can.” Emphasizing the ‘can’, he shoved Bob’s face into the plate. “Piggy found his trough. Piggy loves his trough. You’ll be here as long as it takes you to finish it all.”
Bob was crying now, his sobs coming in waves, spittle and tomato sauce cascading down his multiple chins in between choking on the suffocating meal; as he slurped up pint after pint of sauce and noodles, he tried his damnedest to hold down that awful feeling in his gut.

———————————————-

The first thing they noticed was the smell. Like a dumpster of used baby diapers and vomit in the sun. Mills especially liked that description when the attending officer allowed him to offer it as the group was brought into the flat of Bob Harmon. Autumn couldn’t help but notice the stockpiling of cheap, off-brand tomato sauce, spam and soups. She followed a small battalion of cockroaches with her flashlight into the next room, and there was the source of the smell: Bob Harmon. He had to have been 400 pounds, and must have been sitting on 3 days of excrement, at least.
Mills decided against covering his nose, in what Autumn would consider ‘acting tough’, but she wasn’t abashed from acknowledging something foul when she saw it.
“Detectives?” inquired an officer in the kitchen.
Autumn followed the voice as Mills picked up the dead man’s head by the hair, then released him with a resounding plop in the plate of spaghetti.

The officer motioned to the floor behind the refrigerator. Moving it aside, Mills could read scratched markings resembling “GLUTTONY” and a scribbled note reading “Long is the way and hard, that out of hell leads to light”.
“This John Doe thought himself a poet,” Autumn said.
“I got a poem for the sick bastard,” Mills said, slightly retching, “You’re getting back everything you’ve dished out, ten times over, mark my words.” He paused, waiting for a response.
Autumn shook her head with mock disbelief.
Mills shrugged, as if offended. “What? It was a haiku or something.”

He noticed a shape shift in the window, out on the fire escape. Without thinking, he drew his gun and yelled, “Hey! Hey!”
The figure disappeared and Mills started firing in that direction. The glass shattered and without further consternation, launched himself through the small window onto the fire escape.

Autumn watched as David Mills did what she assumed he did best- or worst in this moment: pursuing a suspect with wild abandon.
When she peered out onto the fire escape, she heard Mills fire more shots beneath them, with a suspect already near the ground below them. Was Mills looking to jump? Mills was no gymnast, but that didn’t mean Mills didn’t know that. So Autumn took it upon herself to remind him.

“You’re not a gymnast,” she snarked.
Mills, who had climbed onto the outside of the fire escape, paid her no mind. In a brief and seemingly meticulous calculation, Mills readied and jumped out to catch the bottom of awning to the left of the fire escape, miraculously catching the fringe of the awning, hanging about 3 stories above the ground now.

Still grasping the awning, Mills smiled, “You were saying?”
Autumn scrunched her mouth. “I stand by it. You’re still not a gymnast.”

Mills flashed a white smile and began monkey climbing up the awning a la King Kong. Once at the top, he even beat his chest in an act of triumph.
Autumn checked her watch. “And it has now been 1 minute and 17 seconds wasted when we could be scoping it out from a distance or calling this in.”

Mills dropped his act and chided, “I’m a man of action, partner. You gotta get used to that!” And that’s when the awning Mills had climbed ripped.

She saw the man falling, falling, and landing with a mortifying crack and thud.

She stood in shock, watching her partner on the street, convulse and seize, his neck most likely broken. But he was flashing his teeth in some form of smile as if to say everything was okay.
Autumn cursed loudly, and radioed in that her partner was down.

———————————————————

With her partner still in critical condition and en route to the hospital from his fall, Autumn knew the case wasn’t going to solve itself, and time was not on her side. It felt like every person involved with this case was meeting their demise, and she although wasn’t the superstitious type, she didn’t want to wait around until it was her town.
When Autumn arrived back at the police station, she had to squeeze through a crowd of press and officers, all of them stunned onlookers. Startled, Autumn moved faster into the station to get a closer glimpse of the object of fascination. The interim police chief, only a few days into his new position, met the detective outside the interrogation room. He was pale as a sheet. “He refused to talk to anyone but you.”

Autumn felt a chill. “Who?” Autumn inquired, even though she knew the answer. Her captain shoved open the door, revealing a smallish, nondescript man in the chair. He looked up and without expression, drolled “Detective! Come in,” as inviting someone into his very house. Autumn glanced back at the gathering police officers, who were all solemn and expectant. She steeled herself, then entered and closed the door.

Walking to the chair opposite the man, she began, “You turned yourself in?”
As if not hearing the question, the man continued. “Your partner almost made me wish I wasn’t so nosy. Though I do wish I weren’t so nosy. Human nature is the true bastion of transparency to see this world for the hell it truly is. How is…Detective Mills, was it?”

Attempting to gain control of the interrogation again, Autumn pressed, “Why did you want to talk to me?”

For the first time, the man smirked slightly, then coughed as if breathing in water. After he was settled, he still had trouble talking. “Unfortunate side effect. All the rest were attempting to stop the wheel from turning. But the wheel has turned, detective. For example, there is a man- or what used to be a man- decaying in a room at this very moment. Farnsworth Condomeniums, unit 7. It is nearly done, presumably.” Autumn looked out at the two way mirror as if to give direction, then leaned in.
“But why did you do it?”

“I only showed the world human nature. Those people embodied the extreme nature of all seven sins, and they weren’t hard to find. They’re everywhere. Which one…” he stopped, and keeled over, sputtering. After a minute of coughing, he picked himself back up gingerly to sit in the chair upright. “Which…which one are you?” Then he collapsed onto the ground, his hands chained to the table by the wrist, so he was splayed awkwardly with his hands raised above his head.

Autumn rushed around as the door opened and more officers came barreling in.

She noticed the blood growing larger through the man’s shirt in his chest. How did no one see this before?
But Autumn knew the puzzle wasn’t over. Logic said that John Doe had another murder to be discovered: Envy.

John Doe’s eyes shot open, and he garbled slowly. “Detective Mills helped me along back there with his gun. I’ve always been envious of you people living in blissful ignorance. I’ve…always been…”

The rest was nonsensical babbling whilst choking on blood. It never was as peaceful as shown on television, death by internal bleeding. But Autumn knew that she had bared witness to a series of murders that she- and the world- would not soon forget.

@Matahari has been eliminated. She was

Spoiler: show

With Matahari dead, Dubz changes alignment to Town. In the night, falcon45ca would die from his wounds, and Thunal carried out the kill. This cannot be blocked.

Therefore, so as not to drag this out unnecessarily another phase, Mafia reach parity with town and WIN!

Congratulations to the mafia team of @S~V~S, @Thunal33, @pyxxy and @Dennis
