Dammit diary,
I got busy during work again and my pet bird got really sick. I hope she survives.
I wish I had time to catch uo but I dont. I was vaguely suspicious of both JoH and Epi, and I refuse to miss a 3rd time in a row...
I'll vote JoH amd see how the cookies crumble when I can check next. Yeah I'll vote JoH.
I will be sorry if he flips civ. Oh well, that's life I guess.
Until next time diary.

A caveat to the idea that Jack is a teammate of bad Eloh is that it's unlikely that Jack wouldn't have known about a false flip ahead of time.

Re: Welcome to Night Vale Mafia [DAY 4]
In theory, yes, but I think one in each pair has plausible rationale for not being teamed with lc. Only the jack/rico pair seems insistent that elo isn't a politician.

Re: Welcome to Night Vale Mafia [DAY 4]
Worth noting Eloh chose to vote Dom over LC. Epi voted INH over LC.
So Eloh's true alignment effects reads on Dom, Epi, INH.
Which is why I've asked several times for this to be explained.

Re: Welcome to Night Vale Mafia [DAY 4]
But also because we have Cecil and a silenced player. There is zero good reason for Epi to feign silence for one day, it's pointless.

We really don't think Eloh was Cecil because of the length of the posts + how busy Eloh is.

I'd support lynching INH today. I want to see where that would go. From there I could figure out where to go with Rico and Jack and maybe Spirtyo.

It's supposedly WTNV canon.

If the current host posts are from Cecil, being caught up or not having info gathering powers should matter little. Someone flipped as their role, no?

Re: Welcome to Night Vale Mafia [DAY 4]
Also very unlikely because the information about the fourth vote not counting on Day 3 came from Cecil. At face value I can't see how that role could have that information, so it might even be fake. Eloh is not the type to screw with her own alignment with fake mechanics.

As previously stated, he can argue that Timmer (and whoever the politicians kill) was Kevin.
But whatever. There's a decent chance Kevin really is still alive so it doesn't matter.
@Cecil
Could you confirm all broadcasts have been from you and you alone in your next message? Kthanx.

Re: Welcome to Night Vale Mafia [DAY 4]
EBWOP
I wasn't doubting Eloh not being Cecil but rather, Eloh being a literal five headed dragon.
Cause Kevin looks similar to Cecil, has supposedly impersonated Cecil (iirc from this thread) and Eloh didn't vote for one of Kevin's teammates when he was the most obvious baddie in the poll.
But if the dragon can shapeshift, that is a fair reason to think a self forge is the dragon.

I'm 90% certain Timmer was a politician so...Eloh/Timmer/???
Who fits best?
Definitely not Dom. Eloh off the cuff voted Dom before she died.

I distrust everyone more than I did before the Rico spat. Just... just not a good look on anybody. Lots of derailing, and people using emotional backing for votes. I can't empathize. I have fun with this game, but I don't know what it's like to play it emotionally.

I mean, I don't disagree there is no hard evidence and that it's still possible she could be Cecil or Kevin. I just think Occam's razor points to not at this point.

A running thing (in the two episodes I've heard where shows up) is the dragon tries to pass off fake id or as someone else and then further investigation reveals that he is not whatever human he said he was because he is literally a eighteen feet tall 5 headed dragon.Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2017 8:35 pm EBWOP

Re: Welcome to Night Vale Mafia [DAY 4]
Interesting change of pace for me to only have town reads at an EoD. I'm not voting Wilgy, Tony or Dom. The Wilgy/Tony thing reads town, and Tony really put himself out there with all his cryptic posts if it was a gambit. Dom just feels genuine, and is more thorough in comparison to my perception of his scum game.
I've currently ruled out Jack and Epi from at least one scum team. I think Jack's mistake in thinking Eloh flipped bad was an honest mistake, because a teammate would know ahead of time. For him to know and still make the mistake intentionally for the attention is tinfoil. At this time, it doesn't seem likely Epi would self-silence. So just for the sake of probability, I'm unlikely to vote either of them.

Eh. Mostly sprit.
Again, I was watching anime between 90 second spurts of reading.
I don't understand posting in the moment.
My 2 cents: It is nearly impossible to read Rico as it is. I feel about 65% that he's town, but because of his hard-to-read nature, I'd rather see him go sooner than later.
That doesn't mean I'm going to vote him. Not yet.

Re: Welcome to Night Vale Mafia [DAY 4]
I have exactly the same 5. The only reason I lean away from boomslang a little is that I think lynching within the other 4 is much more likely to give us a potential window into the other three. But Boomslang is another who can float by easily sometimes, but he can also produce very good content when he wants to.speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2017 8:56 pmFive players for me to pick from.
