I mean, I wouldn't do this. Even if I pretended that I wasn't K2, I wouldn't throw suspicion on myself. Got enough o' that, thankee very much.

Even if a civ had just died and you were listing people that civ suspected as people to look at? If you obviously left yourself out of a group you were part of, you'd just be outing yourself.

I have another candidate in mind for K2.

well, I thought I had a different one for a while too, but I feel like I see more evidence for this one. could be wrong though.

without naming The Other Candidate, who may or may not be the same as mine, would you care to lay out the evidence you have for wilgy?

The writing style reads the most like him. That's most of it, because there's a lot of details that contribute to my thinking that. Also the nickname for you -- DrWilgy keeps calling you stuff like "sloonbeard" so it fits. Plus, the thing I was just talking about -- I'm pretty sure K2 never really mentioned Wilgy before now, and only now because he was one of Cbob's suspects so he would want to include himself in an attempt to protect his identity, while not prioritizing him among several other stronger suspects.

That's the idea, sort of. What would you be trying to accomplish with the role, hazelnut? "Yeah look at those people you suspect. Keep on keeping on." I'd be looking at hinting and pushing odd scumspects (though I do that anyway without a messenger role)

But he wasn't pushing himself as a suspect. He was including himself on a list of Cbob's suspects because he was one of them, while prioritizing the other suspects more, DDL in particular because he's been talking about DDL all game. If I were K2 I would absolutely slip my name in somewhere as a soft mention to protect my identity while strongly pushing my real suspects. Maybe you personally wouldn't do it, but I think it's totally a reasonable thing for K2 to do.

phew ok good

I'd lynch Eloh next tbh

And I'd be willing to look more into DDL as well. I've gotten far too comfortable reading him as town when I really have no concrete reason to as far as I can remember.

Though I'd be surprised if both of wilgy's teammates voted for Quin. There's probably a busser in there. Kyle or dunya or lc?

LC's case on DDL is intriguing but I think there's enough evidence pointing to town DDL that it's more in the realm of tinfoil imo.

At this point I'm feeling about 85% confident that Eloh is one of our lil hills, and the other one is probably niju. I have a short list of other possibilities if that's wrong

Eloh's defense is working on me though. That percentage is going down a little bit atm.

rip

voting eloh

looks like the wrekin... became the wreked.

i will be shaving mister occam and voting for niju tomorrow (unless I die)

A. Sig is the final mafiosa and missed sending his PM because he vanished mysteriously several days ago.

B. Someone else is the final mafiosa and decided not to kill to frame Sig buying us more time to find them in the process. Even if we lynch sig today and he's not the final mafia we'll have broken even and likely be at better numbers than we would have been if they had chosen to kill anyways.

C. Someone else is mafia and they also forgot to send in a kill completely by accident, functionally equivalent to B.

yeah.... hmm. I'm leaning toward A and voting sig for now I guess

K2 what the hell

Niju was here during the night. So it's more likely sig than her imo (though maybe someone survived it or something). I don't care what happens with speedchuck I just want to get the last maf.

Yeah either he's Olympus trying to fulfill some weird win con, or he's pico in which case idk what his plan is if only civs vote for him. I think it must be that he's Olympus since it sounds like it has to be today for some reason

sorry, I just found it hilarious Kyle and DDL were still hypothesizing me as scum. Like, come on.

It's not as ridiculous as tinfoiling me though lol. Speed was talking about confirmed townies without even mentioning me?

towncore is the hot new trending mafia music genre

no really quin wtf does that mean

LC is more confirmed than you.

To you I guess. But I think by most metrics/to most players I am more confirmed

Well ding dang diddly crap on a crabcake.

The truth comes out....

so she's little, and therefore a little mountain. checks out.

hmmmmmmmmm.

another missed kill actually makes me more inclined to think it might not be nijuu?? because it was mentioned that it could be a strategy for the mafia to deliberately skip the kill again so that we go after inactives, and I don't think niju has been paying the most detailed attention to the thread and in any case she wouldn't do that because she'd be the one lynched anyway, even though she was around during the night and would have sent a kill if she was the last mafia. of course there is always the possibility that it was a survival (Kilimanjaro is a possibility, but as Kyle said the mafia would probably know who that is if the same target survived like twice or whatever idk)

unless nijuu is pulling some crazy wifom bullshit, it's starting to look more like the baddie is one of the more active fellows hiding in plain sight. DDL, Quin, or Kyle are all fair game IMO.

yeah I'm voting for Quin again. going back to my old hunch. man, I'll feel so vindicated if it's him since I've had a lingering bad feeling for him for most of the game but kept getting waved away. And looking at his last few days of posts I'm seeing it tbh. his activity has dropped off a bit (and I know he has some RL stuff going on and that may explain part of it, but it still seems like he's hanging back a bit more from solving the endgame) and his posts about the "towncore" and around the sig lynch smell a bit fishy in retrospect.

vote quin

guys the more I think about it the more sense it makes. Quin is bad my dudes.

Like, there's really no way niju deliberately skipping the kill makes any sense. If she had replaced into the mafia team and soon became the last living member, she'd kill at every chance she got. That being said, at this point in the game/with these numbers it would be pretty silly for the last mafia member to skip a kill regardless of who they are, so really the most likely scenario is that they sent in a kill but it was survived yet again. That or, yeah, an uber-confident gambit.... man now I'm starting to waffle on DDL being more likely than Quin, since DDL has been riding more of a civ cred wave all game and would be in a better position to pull such a gambit than Quin. Ugh idk man this game is messing with my brain again and I should go to bed.

... nnnnnnooo.

this is the worst revelation of my entire life

well, I had a really vivid dream that DDL was bad... (no really I did lol it was weird)

I think I'm missing out on some stuff re: the whole LC thing and deducing people's roles, but I have believed he's good for a while now and anyway I trust what people are saying and probably should be able to guess more people's roles now

Ehh, I feel like Quin and DDL are about equally likely but probably below niju I guess. When I posted/voted late last night I really felt like niju was less likely than we thought, but your discussion since then mostly re-convinces me that she's probably the simplest answer. The lead is enough that my vote doesn't matter though so I'm keeping it on symbolically/out of laziness

oh sweet we did it! fun game yall, thanks marmot!!

I guess speed didn't get his wincon, sorry dude

I was of course what everyone already knows I was. t3h b1gg3$t boii

Ok cool sloonei we get it and we love and support you it's ok now you're safe (actually you ended up dying anyway but sshhhh)

sloon what was it you said you'd eat when bob flipped town? did you ever get around to that?

also Kyle I think I sometimes still say Epig, I used to just kinda alternate between Epig and Epi but I definitely mostly only say Epi lately actually (damn check out all my adverbs )

i knew i should have stuck to the overly formal speech patterns i used on night 1 and 2 :[

man, since you didn't send one n3 and for other reasons, I really thought for a while that K2 was Spacedaisy based on the first one's style and I had a theory that Jack or someone was Chimborazo and stole the second one and that's why it was so long and different from the first one lmao I was so off track on all of my early role hypotheses

Sloonei wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2017 3:50 am
it's amazing that we fell backwards into clearing a townie on day 1 and then that townie ended up surviving the game.

Yeah I'm pleased as punch to have survived. Cheers to the mafia, y'all are real pals

Sloon I think it was mostly dunya and me who thought it was wilgy (I thought that for a while tbh the style could have fit him well enough)
