WORLD TOUR MAFIA II: JAPAN [DAY FIVE]

[Trekkie99]

Nom!

[Dubz]

Wait did Michelle die and flip town? Ha. Okay. Well I was about to not push her so that's good.

Don't quote me on this (my legal team prefers it that way), but I thought she was just revealed without actually dying? Yatta!

[GoSpursGo]

I guess I'd generally trust nutella and scotty, and in my current worldview vivax is probably town.

My POE is something on the order of Epig, leetic, trekkie.

Everyone else can be in the fluffy middle.

Following up this.

Nutella, scotty, wilgy, vivax probably town. Probably gims

POE is Epig, trekkie, Michelle. Maybe Rondo. And I hate to say it, but dubz too.

Don't lie, you love having me in your POE :P

I do, but I don’t want you to be out on d2! Id like to play with you a little longer.

But, uh, you haven’t given me much I can defend you with

Correct Michelle is alive, it was a modpeek

[Dubz]

For people that are familiar with nicole, could you describe her general behavior towards packmates? I'd like to interpret interactions with some context.

I'd put gims and vivax in my town bucket based on d1 interactions that feel un-partnered, maybe leetic but in a weaker way, depends on how nicole saw her own positioning in the thread - the vote could be a bus but the way she responded to an earlier post doesn't feel that way to me. Spurs also continues to be town, yatta!

Nothing specific in nicole's own posts that jumps out at me as partnering, but gonna read the wagon context

At this stage I'd be concerned with anyone who didn't have me in their POE

ohayō gozaimasu, mac

Any insights as you enter the crosswalk, or are you just going to walk aimlessly towards nowhere in particular today?

Means nothing to me, I’m just an observer

[Scotty]

who do u think the mafia are, rondo?

no clue, Im not even sure nichol was bad 50/50 which is technically higher % than rand town.

I havent read shit and im not gonna catch up

im only here to check my reservation for tomorrow. There was a fuckin ghost in the tea house and I booked it.

aizuchi, rondo

AO
It is time for you to take some initiative, as your gameplay can best be described thus far as Namakemono

(And if you had to look that one up, you have time to help us find you town kthnx)

PIYO PIYO LETS GO

[GoSpursGo]

Heading into kyōkai

Be back later. I expect you will have all solved the game upon my return

[Dubz]

Goofy thing to say to me. Do your worst pal.

Konnichiwa! No need to get all prickly about it, I'm just not sure why you put me in your town reads. Last time someone did that when I was lowposting here they were scum.

I'm not gonna stomp on your house over it. Yet.

[Dubz]

@GoSpursGo if you tell me about your leetic vote I'll spare your house when I go rampaging through the city

Doesn't look like a partner interaction but I don't feel very good about this either way. Why do you trust Spurs so much Dubz?

I think I never answered this? Gomen.

At the time I was asking that question it was more about evaluating Spurs than trusting him.

I trust him now for obvious reasons as long as he's not 3p

[Michelle]

Konnichiwa! こんにちは

Oh I think she maf. Just like her.

Why this read and who else is bad fypov?

Nothing that deep just thought your leetic read was smelly.

Tell me more please お願いします

No you didn't
Tell me now please

[Michelle]

I would need to know DMs alignment tbh

だってばよ Dattebayo!

[Dubz]

Huh when did the leetic wagon get so big

Maybe I'm not comfortable with that

Four votes is "so big"?? There's 20 players in the game! That's barely one third of a majority of the players!

Remember World Unhinged? How big were those wagons?

Last game's D1 was decided by a 3-3 tie that would have seriously changed the course of the game had the RNG gone the other way, I am not in the mood for hand wringing about the idea of townies consolidating on a wagon

This post felt townie

Being able to shamelessly exist in the state where Epi's posting does not seem good but also pushing him for it does not seem good, because his alignment is unknown

Isn't everyone's alignment unknown?

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

Oh! Oh my. One moment, please. The Perspective Discrepancy Module has never actually done that before.

"Because his alignment is unknown."

Interesting choice of words, Duelist. Unknown to whom, exactly? From a Town perspective, everyone's alignment is unknown. But you seem to be separating Epi into a particular category of player whose alignment you don't know.

[VOTE: duelist] aubergine

And this felt like a stretch

Hmm this feels like v!Spurs

Which means!

I can sheep before I sleep!

[VOTE: leetic] aubergine

It's such a lazy vote

Spurs's vote or mine?

I have no read on epi.

GTH I'd call dubz scum, but again I'm bad at reading her and I'd rather not vote out the other SDN player on d1.

I'm just saying I don't find Rondo scummy. If others want to go there neither will I shield him.

I'm sorry that this post likely doesn't help, but I'm not going to invent reads I don't have.

All is right in the world

Anyone wanna bring back the nicole wagon

nutella/Spurs/vivax get heaps of cred for bringing back the nicole wagon when they did imo

WTF is this post? If I'm wolfy for making that post what does it say about you for agreeing with it? [VOTE: Scotty] aubergine

Anyway still catching up

ha- Towny NO U

even tho there’s no u turns on this street, leetic-san

Kusukusu (≧∇≦) Also, Scotty feels okay so far. These two thoughts are unrelated, probably. But I'd stomp on some bystanders for him.

[Scotty]

I would need to know DMs alignment tbh

だってばよ Dattebayo!

Konbanwa, Michelle

Seeing as you are mechanically confirmed, you will be the AO light we need to help traverse this great crossroads of life

Here is the pertinent rule for you from the OP:

If you are outed by the host as having a particular role (for example, through the use of a priest shot), you may claim/infodump information that is consistent with the role that the host has outed you to be.

So, who did you target last night?

[Dubz]

DM kinda threw a tantrum on pg 14 that I think was coming from a townie perspective

I usually wouldn't give much cred to Wilgy's vote for nicole, but I'm still trying to figure out how to interpret the later votes in the context of her ability - would teammates be more inclined to get the bussing cred, or to try to save her for a time where they'd be more likely to get the benefit of her ability. Hard to say without knowing bussing metas. I personally would gave gone for the latter so for the moment some points to idk...everyone who ended up there?

im about to pass out but i dont know if i really care to move my vote. gl i believe in all of us

I don't love this pop-in.

I don't hate the Nicole wagon but I'm always wary of wagons that get so far ahead of all the others so early into the game

I'm not really feeling the two "counterwagons" all that much either. Rondo just has too little posts for me to care much about that slot. Mainly switching to [VOTE: Duelist Mirage] aubergine because of their vote history having an opportunistic vote on me then switching to another popular wagon (Rondo) that was unlikely to defend themselves but I'll have to dig deeper

And I kinda hate this in context

low, sleepy rawr

It will soon be time for me to retire to the bottom of the ocean once more for a yasumi

[Dubz]

POE based on actual pings is something like LC/jess/Mac/leetic

Tentative town bucket = DM, Wilgy, Scotty

Never rescind town bucket = gims, vivax, Spurs, Nutella

Hi Porscha, how much have you read? I guess I read like 50 posts overall

Im probably not too far ahead of you in that lol

[Porscha]

I contemplated while the light was AKA- Jess was my Nanbāwan yukuzu pick. Second was trekkie.

So many busybodies crossing every which way, I’m surprised no one got run over.
-The no-kill lends itself more to full on confusion crossing streams in matrix H…survivalist, SK holstering and becoming bulletproof.
-The role reveal looks to be either priest or Druid. I don’t see priest on the list, so assuming Druid used a shot on Michelle. On H
-Additionally, I see Tranq has voted but has not posted, which is hinting at being silenced, which also is only on H.

SIGNS POINT TO H

PIYO PIYO

Ack
!!Matte!!
Aka

I see silencer (town) on 19. But tranq is such a poor town silence choice I’d be remiss if i disregard that. But it’s not airtight like I thought.

I’m not omnipotent, I’m quite busy. QUITE BUSY

Quick, Pikachu! Do quickmaths to ascertain the likelihood that michelle silenced tranq!

Seems pretty high to me!

So, who did you target last night?

遅れてすみません。
Okuretesumimasen, apologise for the delay

I targeted Tranq

Looking at the votes I noticed his vote is the last one and i took into account we wouldn't have a flip with a bigger wagon. From my Pov if Tranq is scum maybe his mates couldn't vote and he tried to add to the wagon to encourage more votes? There's a possibility I ma wrong but this needs to be discussed

What do you think about DMs wagon?

[Vivax]

dubz/trekkie/pyxy/epi/mac should proly have a few

I‘d take dubz and mac off today and add Rondo (he even was nice enough to remind the thread).

Dubz vote on LC is the most intriguing thing to me so far. Maybe she‘s onto something and it‘s not a LHF vote which is a plus.

Going to be lazy about it and I feel like a pirate with scurvy from using old bags of snus that damaged my gums like a baka (that‘s off the checklist).

[nutella]

Wakarimasen
why did you choose Tranq?
He's a good blossom

[nutella]

(I see the explanation but idk think he's towny overall)

[nutella]

and yeah I don't think the politician thing is very compelling, there was not going to be a wagon passing that threshold at that point. she could have been bussed just normally I suppose but ehh

[nutella]

oh I forgot my Japanese words okay so much for that

[Michelle]

and yeah I don't think the politician thing is very compelling, there was not going to be a wagon passing that threshold at that point. she could have been bussed just normally I suppose but ehh

I didn't say she wasn't bussed, actually is almost impossible to not be
I had just a few mins to decide since I remembered the day starts at 1 pm my hour, looking at wagons and making a fast choice.
Can you tell me what's towny at Tranq?

Ikuze! 行くぜっ!

[VOTE: @Long Con ] aubergine

Konichiwa dubz (idk why I both anymore)

can you expound on the scum read on LC? You really think they’re the most sus in your entire catch up?

I feel like most of the thread has coalesced around a pretty tight POE. Who in that pool of eels is most likely to just be town but had a bad day?

Who on Nicole’s wagon was the most likely bussing slot?

Bottom two questions can be for anyone

[Duelist Mirage]

SIGNS POINT TO H

PIYO PIYO

Ohayo gozaimasu! I have taken time away from sharpening my blade to research this and it appears to be correct from what I can tell, we have to be in H. There has to be a Politician, so we were down to the previous 10 worlds with those. Now also either a Priest/Druid have to be present for the reveal to have happened (and yes I checked with the mod to ensure the Druid shot works exactly like a Priest's because it only mentions revealing role but it is a full Priest shot like we saw here). And then additionally there would have to be a Spy, or some way to corrupt the reveal, and Encryptor/Forger look to be the only ones that could do that. I did find Encryptor on 16 but there was no Priest or Druid so that's out. H is the only world that has all three roles that can account for what we've seen, with a Druid, Spy, and Politician.

Also it's possible for some people to further narrow down exactly which roles were dealt from that world, as there's rules which aren't really explained well in the chart about which cells are added in combination with each other. We know know the Druid in the green cell exists so we could be looking at:
Both independents (Serial Killer/Darkness) and the green cell Druid
Both blue cells (Town Pizza Chef/Mafia Athlete) + green cell Druid
The green cell Druid + the yellow cell Supatownie + one independent

There was no kill last night so probably the mafia kill got blocked somehow and it doesn't feel very likely that a SK would holster on N1 here and even less likely that both kills get blocked so I'd lean towards the SK not existing and we're in one of the latter two possibilities. Obviously if we have multiple kills later then that changes. (Although technically the Parrot could do that if they parrot the mafia using a nightkill... )

There are several ways a kill could fail in addition to the Survivalist and SK holster, there's also a Doctor, also someone could have prize won a Commuter or Doctor shot; and also Parrot could have replicated Doctor/Commuter.

And Michelle probably silenced Tranq. Please do not do that again, Michelle! Tranq is solid town. Use your role on the PoE!

[GoSpursGo]

Tranq is solid town.

Can you explain that read to me as well?

Iie, I would direct my blade elsewhere in search of the enemy. Though Trekkie may not have mustered much in the way of fighting spirit yet in this battle, I also think he did not treat Nicole as he likely would have were they in the same rogue army.

[VOTE: pyxxy] aubergine

I would direct attention here, in particular I find the long overnight silence from this and several others (Long Con and Dubz) to be particularly notable.

[Michelle]

Tranq is solid town.

Can you explain that read to me as well?

I want to know as well.

About not being able to make a better choice, I already explained, lack of time and not much catching up.

だってばよ Dattebayo!

Sumimasen, but my honorable nature is not a hard thing to discern should you actually read the game instead of looking at a few random bits and trying to generate suspicions based on that like you've done thus far. Your actions have been reckless and I am relieved that minimal harm was done so far. Not only have you threatened me, but your blade could easily have killed Tranq rather than simply stun him into silence. I would like to have a word with whomever your sensei was who taught you such techniques. Tranq was a valuable member of the band who chased down the dishonorable politician Nicole after spending the day intently searching for the enemy, and you went off on your own to launch a sneak attack on him for his efforts. Such lack of concern for where your blade is pointing is baffling to me.

I would guess that is because they weren't posting in the timeframe I was reading (from when the Nicole wagon restarted until EOD), and Nicole didn't mention them specifically in her posts.

I have no thoughts on those 3, gomen. I'm about to skim through overall mentions of Nicole for more interactions so we'll see if I find anything there.

Any resemblance to kaiju living or radioactive is purely coincidental.

[Vivax]

One thing I particularly dislike is that leetic was in the position of being the precursor wagon to Nicole and he should have been able to produce a lot of information from his POV but instead all we got was this.

Nice hit, and good we got them out early given their role. Not sure how to read VCA, theoretically Nicole would have been more likely to survive if her wolf partners voted her but it seemed very unlikely that she would hit the required 11 votes, especially so late in the day. Dubz isn't a last-minute vote that would have given Duelist Mirage much advantage if they were paired with Nicole, so minor town points there I guess?

What???
Twice what???
