Vote count with 38 hours left in d3:

@Golden can clarify, but I don't think this number of hours is correct. Since results posted at 0430 EDT I would assume we have 48 hours from then, so I think we have 43ish hours to go

[GoSpursGo]

@RondoDimBuckle vote me if you're silenced, since I see you bothered to vote Hirohito

[Scotty]

If I had eyes, I would see the identities of the bus at hand that ran over Trekkie the night before. IF I had eyes, which I don’t.( I should release a single with my sound effects. I’m sure I’d sell at least a copy to a confused grandmother looking to buy groceries)

Least to MOST likely:

VOTERS: Michelle > DrWilgy > Scotty > gims > leetic > Jess > Tranq > Porscha

A businessman on his cell phone is talking to his estranged wife, seemingly in English because I don’t actually speak Japanese (go seppuku yourself if you’re judging): “I think someone not voting for trekkie last night is the right move today. However, trekkie is the target that would be in the right position to be bussed for cred. Tranq is the odd man out in my list versus consensus. Jess has some questions per avoiding Nicole and then jumping on the Trekkie wagon early , and Porscha is someone that laid a simple foundation on Trekkie early and had a through-line of ultimately voting him after calling his posts ‘stinky’. That might just be town, but it’s just as easy to do as wolf.

Tranq though? He didn’t have a chance to talk yesterday, and voted pyxxy immediately. His vote ultimately moved to trekkie with time as it was already built. Additionally, if he is mafia, having his partner in Trekkie (who MUST use their ability) silence him would help build potential cred. That Michelle also ultimately targeted him could simply be coincidence. It could have even been a block, on top of a real silence from his partner, hence the lack of N1 kill.

If pyxxy ISNT a wolf, my eyes immediately dart to Tranq. IF I had eyes, which I definitely do because I am the businessman talking, and not the literal fucking crosswalk.” The businessman then finally crosses, suddenly remembering he was talking to his wife, ending the conversation with ‘I am sorry, I got side tracked, wife. I will be home after the karaoke bar’

[Scotty]

@RondoDimBuckle vote me if you're silenced, since I see you bothered to vote Hirohito

A young Japanese girl holds up the peace sign and poses for the camera crossing the street. She then types into her caption: “This would mean Michelle ultimately targeted Rondo, which will be a good mech check. She would be a strong candidate for bus drive last night”. Which is a bizarre caption- but who am I to judge? I have no thoughts, only lights and cool chirps

[GoSpursGo]

@RondoDimBuckle vote me if you're silenced, since I see you bothered to vote Hirohito

Man I'm really not thinking very hard today, I forgot the silencer is dead. Though I guess it's conceivable Michelle's ability hit Rondo and resolved as a silencer

I think I agree with your general premise on who would be the busser, if there is a busser.

One point to clarify that we went over in some detail yesterday (then gave up because it hurt all our heads) is that with 2 redirectors, a parrot, and a bus driver, and Michelle being a prime target for negative town effects on N1 before her alignment was confirmed, that there are all kinds of ways her ability and the silencer could have interacted.

There's also a survivalist and a doctor (and the aforementioned redirectors/parrot/bus driver) that could also account for no NK

(You’re correct, of course. I’m trying to work backwards. I don’t know where I am or when I am I’m afraid. Within the last 2 weeks I’ve been in GMT +12, +10, +2, and ultimately back to NY time tomorrow so I’m out of it)

A shibu inu stops and lifts its leg to pee on the street light. The patter of the piss rings out: “Yes, I read that. I think figuring out why there was only one silence is the weirdest mech issue, and while there are a lot of reasons, it feels more specific to figure over the many reasons the kill could have been blocked. It does seem very coincidental that only one person was silenced, and Michelle targeted the one person that was silenced. That Tranq was an organic target for both targets is VERY slim. Tack on that it is a common tactic for mafia to target their own for silencing/insanifier makes this all the more fishy.”

The owner of the dog yanks the dog across the busy street, seemingly unaware that the dog’s piss elicited a full English treatise

[VOTE: pyxxy] aubergine

[GoSpursGo]

It‘s baffling that there‘s players still seriously considering nicole wagon early birds.

I mean as I said previously I think it's worth keeping in mind which slots are most likely bussing slots for future considerations, but I can't imagine that anyone on the Nicole wagon is really going to be the vote today.

What are your thoughts on Mac and pyxxy?

I mean, to me the most obvious bussing candidate seems tranq. Independently of that leetic seemed aware that votes on Nicole would be a chance to save her but he doesn't consider that Tranq could have been doing just that, for example (or other options), and he voted gims with mac and gims seems extraordinarily likely town, so that's doubly scummy. Though I don't really understand how nicoles mech would work in practice.

In addition to agreeing with @gims 's point that vivax was sussing leetic hard (and there's really too much there to quote it all, anyone wanting to verify just needs to open vivax's ISO for one second), this post casting shade at Tranq also caught my eye as a potential reason to mark vivax for a kill

Tranq waited until the very last moment to vote Nicole on D1. On D2, they voted pyxxy-->Mac-->leetic-->Trek only when it was clear Trek was going over

[GoSpursGo]

Spoiler: show

ello ello

No

What makes this mafia

What makes it not mafia?

This Miltank did not answer the question at hand though.
Or do you mean the Miltank represents your own “No” post being a shitpost?

Here’s an origami Miltank:

Is not mafia? Seems simple enough.

This feels like an oddly serious reading of obvious screwing around.
Especially I'm pretty sure that miltank is papermache not origami. [VOTE: tranq] aubergine

You're right to push back. It does look like papermache.

Miltanks aside, the quotes made it look like Vivax asked you a direct question. Looking back, he was actually using your posts as a response to Spurs' question here: https://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewt ... 1#p1193401

So disregard my post. On paper it looked like you were avoiding a direct question, but i made a wrong mental fold.

This interaction with Nicole doesn't seem especially paired, though it's the only case of the two of them interacting that I could find

[GoSpursGo]

Aye. I moved from Mac to leetic after i woke up and caught up, and found Mac to be town. I believe my vote put leetic at 5 votes and Mac back at 4, while Trekkie had 6. I voted leetic in case Trekkie was an Athlete, Mac wouldn't die. It was before Rondo voted Mac.

Interesting.

Haven’t read last several pages but my preference would be Mac or trek. I still don’t get the logic in immediately voting for the person Nicole was voting (leetic) for unless Nicole has a big ole bussing meta. And I like the wagons on Mac and trek better.

Anyways. Back to sleep.

Moved from leetic to Trekkie after reading this post.

Tranq explained their vote movement on D2 here

[GoSpursGo]

This interaction with Nicole doesn't seem especially paired, though it's the only case of the two of them interacting that I could find

I don't see any mention of Trek in Tranq's ISO or vice/versa

Nicole voted Tranq quite early for that paper mache interaction, then upon getting the pic of origami moved and seemed to tr tranq thereafter.

idk. The paper mache interaction could possibly be theater, but it would be impressive. While I think minimal points can be awarded for being the last on the mafia wagons, the more likely scenario is probably still that Tranq is town

[GoSpursGo]

I guess voting pyxxy still feels kinda lame but also Nicole never mentioned pyxxy d1.

Neither of them ever mentioned long con. Long con only mentioned trek by asking my hypothesis about trek when I put trek in my POE.

So like it's hard to argue against either of those two slots going today tbh unless they show up and town hard like Mac did on d2.

[GoSpursGo]

Like, as much as I'm itching to do something more interesting, there's gotta be at least one within pyxxy/long con/epig

[Porscha]

Nothing better than wasting time reading vivax iso over night to find him town just for him to go die

[GoSpursGo]

How very rude of him.

Why was his being town in such question for you?

[Porscha]

Im bad at reading him and he hadnt posted much after day 1, which i wasnt here much for

[gims]

@GoSpursGo can you use some of that solvyness to parse through leetic?

[gims]

I agree that LC/epig/pyxxy are more likely candidates

I want to townbin DM but there's something in her posting that makes me never really trust myself with doing so

I can't unsee the leetic/dm/trekkie thing though but maybe I'm crazy

[gims]

well. i mean.

idk if epig is scummy. idk how to read epig. he is... different this game. but idk. can someone scumcase him in a way that isnt just POE?

[gims]

LC has two votes in the whole game: one on vivax, one on duelist. his most interesting piece is a defense of leetic. other than that, everything sounds quite theatrical.

[GoSpursGo]

@GoSpursGo can you use some of that solvyness to parse through leetic?

I can try to get through that later. But like, I'm seeing what people are saying, but I also have a hard time believing that we're so GOATed this game that we twice found a wolf to wagon, after moving off of a different wolf wagon. It just seems more likely that leetic was their misyeet bait.

But yes. At some point in the next ~40 hours I'll try to look through leetic

But like how the scale is metaphorical, the scum DM and/or Nicole world is theoretical. In reality, I think this a town world

Voting Pyxxy feels lame

kind of a peculiar post from trekkie bcuz it's not clear what prompted him to say this

Time. The length of time that Pyxxy had been sitting as the leading wagon.

so does that mean that you think pyxy is town? what's your read on them

null maybe town
Don’t think scum could keep up the bit

Oh and I agree on DM. Something isn’t sitting right with me.

But, like I said, while I’m itching to do something more interesting, I have a hard time saying she’s definitively more scummy than pyxxy/lc/epig. And at least I can imagine DM will give me more data points with which to read her

@pyxxy Can you post a picture of 3 japanese people and change the subtitles to include the names of 3 players you think are mafia? The left japanese should hold an origami bird, the middle japanese an origami cow, the right japanese an origami wolf.

Meh. I was obviously being tongue in cheek, but if we have a misflip I doubt that it will be because of the bit, and instead because we misevaluated content of the bit and pyxxy's votes in the context of the flipped wolves' votes.

Michelle used her ability on you. You're clearly not silenced or dead, so you were likely roleblocked. Unless the Bus Driver switched Michelle's target.

I am, for my own sanity, assuming that a town redirector would not choose to redirect the action of a confirmed town player.

A woman loses her purse as she crosses and her loose makeup rolls out onto the pavement. This upsets me. But anyway, the clattering makes the sound of ‘Obviously Michelle was talking about last night. But a good bus driver should have switched her with someone else since mafia can just maneuver you for free.

I don’t really know how the redirectors work in that if they all target the same person, does it trigger whoever targeted latest? Does that supercede the bus drive? Priorities are an unknown
