[mention]Rej[/mention] [mention]sprityo[/mention] and [mention]NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME[/mention], I trust all three of you to be town, so don't fight please lol. Good game if one isn't. If Mafia kills successfully tonight, we'll have a 4v2 next phase. Firstly, don't no lynch 'cause Mafia has a one-shot silencer and it's obvious that it hasn't been used yet. Secondly, don't split vote 'cause if Enrique is civilian and continues to be absent, Mafia may try to pull a fast one on y'all and silence one of the active players this upcoming night, making the next phase a 2v2 voting power wise.
I'm not going to go over the Sabie case again. She is obvious Mafia, there is like no doubt about it whatsoever in my mind lol. You can refer to Ted's case on her, or her play this phase. There was absolutely nothing townie about it, her only goal was surviving and chaos. Please lynch her the next day. Now as for the third mafioso. It's between Creature and Epignosis, that's something for you to solve. There is a strong case against both of them, and some ties to Sabie.
Creature -
My flip is going to reflect badly on Creature. I believe that a Civ Creature would have been a tiny bit more proactive in defending me this phase, and the last. He seems to be shying away from this lynch, and the reason is going to be obvious after my flip. I think a scum Creature isn't too keen into bringing the wagon any closer knowing what he knows. A 3v4 vote distribution is bad news for a Sabie scum teamed with him. That fits what he's been doing this phase.
Spoiler: show
His entrance this phase and surge of activity pinged me as well. It felt extremely choreographed between him and Sabie, it also felt like he didn't want to commit one or the other. He was playing it safe. Soft defense of Sabie with his dom wagon stance, but then arguing the other way with the Et wagon. That whole vote analysis felt fake, it was very shallow and he didn't seem to care to actually figure out anything with it 'cause it went nowhere. Going through his interactions with Dom, the tone and attitude of the latter stood out to me as well. Creature is someone that is often scum read and pushed around, seeing Dom's accusation against other posters I feel like Creature would have been a very easy target. Here he was pretty friendly and it was awkward how there was no intent from him to push Creature especially since he was weirdly trying to figure him out.
With all this being said, Creature's got a few good points for him. Mainly the whole day phase when Dom got lynched. It was a good timed vote and with how Dom came back scrambling to save himself, it'd have been selfish. Especially since he didn't seem to actually work it at all to get some points for it, he basically just followed the lynch. It's not very efficient. There was also his D1 and push on LC that was alright, the way he kept coming to him is townlike, could see a townie lost in their thoughts always coming back to a strong scum read while doing other stuff.
Do not lynch him immediately because of my flip. LYNCH SABIE FIRST!
Epignosis -
I'm running out of time to finish this post so this one's going to be brief. It's also given pause by Nanook's unwavering confidence in Epi being town which feels mechanical in nature.
My main grippe with Epi is his handling of me. There was a change of gears that is very scummy, and his whole in your face attitude doesn't strike me as someone trying to figure me out at all. There was like no progression whatsoever there, just an agenda, painting me and Sabie as teammates. He was also arguing with me in bad faith, see the point about Creature's potential role and my take on it. The "Your guess?" shut down he gave me is absolutely ridiculous. I'm not sure what he'd expect in a game except someone's opinions and guess, let alone one with no info dump. There is also Sabie's handling of him. He's the only that hasn't been no u'd by her, she's been doing it to anyone that pushes her. It's also interesting that while doing so, he's trying to guide the lynch onto me rather than on Sabie who should be the stronger case between us two. It made me tinfoil about the Mafia silencer and Enrique being absent if the latter is civ and continues to be absent after my lynch and a successful kill, the voting power would be 2v2 by next phase if one of the other townies is silenced. That's a situation to steal the win easily.
Spoiler: show
He has a few good stuff as well. I ain't got time to go over them right now, you should go through my ISO where I've had a few posts about them.
TL;DR - Lynch Sabie. Solve Epi/Creature and get us the win. Good luck.
maybe he was faking it?
