Jack Attack Mafia (Day 5)

[Jackofhearts2005]

Stand by hee ho

[Millium]

Mafia get fakes, so why is this of importance? I don't mean to sound incredulous; I am utterly clueless about flavor.

it's probably a fakeclaim actually yeah

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Day 3

The fuckup approached the blonde man, blue ox in tow.



“Hey, friend. Spare a drink?”

The blonde man scowled. “None for you, mongrel.”

The fuckup drew a six shooter with a grin. “Wasn’t really asking.” A flash of yellow light and a sword shot into the fuckup’s chest. “This feels somewhat familiar.” The fuckup fired but his shot wasn’t fast enough to hit the blonde man. Three more swords from three more portals ended their fight.

“This isn’t right,” the fuckup protested, coughing up blood. “I’m a legend. I’m tougher than you, you dick!”

“Hardly.”

Alison has been executed. She was: Jack Horner. Alignment: Town.




Elsewhere, a skeleton cackled to himself. He laughed and laughed and laughed and the sounds of his laughter drew the other Jacks to him. There, they found the remains of the skeleton, an insane grin across his motionless face.

Hally has died. They were: Jack Skellington. Alignment: Town.

[Long Con]

But why

[Hally]

why though

[ColinIsCool]

Fuck

[Epignosis]

Boo.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

If that was poison, clearly Hally was not informed of it. Looks like more 3P shit. Meh

Thanks for a great effort [mention]Alison[/mention] and [mention]Hally[/mention]. We'll do our best.

[sabie12]

Sadface RIP both of you. You played well.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I'm inclined to follow Alison with regard to Kitsu. There may have been some manner of information underlying that read.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

The game may yet be as simple as it seemed before. I hope I will have time this night phase to do my work.

[ColinIsCool]

This occurred to me at some point, but in reading her posts it really did just seem like a very strong townread. She initially suspects Kitsu D1 and then does a pretty stark about-face after some more time.

[Alison]

avenge me and slay those wolves! you can do this, town!

[nutella]

oh noooo what

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I'm a civilian. Who is not?

Epignosis does not seem like a civilian.

I can vaguely beef with Colin and Tony in many of the same ways I already have. They remain suspects.

I'm standing with Alison on Kitsu. sabie has looked fine to me pretty much every time she has posted too.

If Hally being day killed is indicative of a 3P kill, I fear that could be just about anyone. It's possible it's mafia-driven, but those kinds of things are atypical.

[Long Con]

Extra death with a yeet is atypical.

[KitsuShel]

Ok, so I’m kinda angry. The extra death was messed up. Not only was Hally the nicest one to me here, she was also my favorite character. I’m feeling much more comfortable about my feelings here, because I was pretty sure Alison was telling the truth.

[KitsuShel]

Who could the blond Jack be?

[KitsuShel]

It’s only simple if you’re mafia and steering everyone in one direction and laughing at us behind the scenes.

If that’s not the case, then I’m not seeing simplicity anywhere.

I’m not. I am however an experienced player and will not be freaking out. I’m going to assess things carefully as soon as I am able, and I will see where I end up.

I’m not suggesting anyone freak out or do anything drastic. I’m just saying, I don’t think anything here has been simple at all. Especially with the possibility of a delayed kill.

Actually, lemme run back to re-read three last night write up.

Good idea. Y'all flavormeisters can maybe make sense of it.

do we just follow Alison's legacy and double check Epi here?
or are we splitting?

Night 2

The blonde man took a sip of his wine.

The old man took a sip of his vodka.

The blonde man took a sip of his wine.

The old man took a sip of his vodka.

Nobody has died.

Blerg. I was wondering if maybe someone was poisoned here as a delayed reaction. (Quite literally WIFOM, lol) But I don’t see either odd these as being Jack Skellington.

This player is scum. "Flavormeisters" indeed.

We also have a Vig out there, I’m sure of it. I’m guessing since they holstered last night, they were following the multiple posts that asked them to. Or they were blocked, and if they were, then then mafia know their identity now.

I’d say we either have the vig have a shot at Epi, or look into him.

I would prefer checking Epi and confirming him town, due to his claim. Jack Shephard is a doctor, so he might be important to us.

well I am going to check Epi, so if he shoots there, it will be a waste
or we can have space check Epi, and I'll check someone else
or the double up thing

either way I want to confirm where the vig if it exists, should shoot without actually outting them, and interfering with our info gain

[TonyStarkPrime]

Vig shoots Colin.

Flavor is neat and I encourage its existence. I just don't like or care about anything that Jack likes or cares about and have not been able to follow any of the flavor-driven solving in this game.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

If there's a vigilante I strongly encourage you to shoot someone in the POE pool. If Epi is getting checked then shoot elsewhere.

[Jackofhearts2005]

I just don't like or care about anything that Jack likes or cares about

[TonyStarkPrime]

also killing Alison who was at least here the whole time over Epi who's super frozen seems bad but I didn't fight it hard enough I guess.

[nutella]

I feel responsible, shouldn't have let the likely fake claim sway me

but I really thought alison's posts the whole phase were scummy af, guess I confbiased myself into seeing agenda everywhere :/

[nutella]

Spoiler: show

........especially (tbh probably only) if epi somehow flips town, i would actually definitely shoot jay here if i could


seems more and more like his scum meta after all

[nutella]

eh that's probably dumb tinfoil that i still shouldn't entertain for a while

epi and then sabie next i think are my priorities

[nutella]

(yeah i'm actually putting sabie before tony and colin. come at me)

[JaggedJimmyJay]

It's fine. They were both in the POE pool and in a posture where that was unlikely to resolve itself. Alison tried quite hard and we still couldn't find her. So it goes.

If we're confident enough as a group that Epignosis is not a civilian, then he might not make the ideal check. The most "optimal" checks are on players who are most likely to survive longer but are not already confirmed. If I recall correctly, all three of these folks have claimed miller:

Kitsu
Colin
Tony

Epi and I have not. I don't believe sabie has. Anyone in that pile is a viable check that can move the game forward. If Wisp and/or Daisy want Epignosis, that's okay with me too.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

What I want to stress is that folks continue to work as a team. So many towns fall apart at the first sign of adversity, and it just does not have to happen.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I'm town, so if this feeling festers I hope you'll give me an opportunity to talk with you.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I say that because I can already see the spec chat tunnel in your eyes, and I am holding up my garlic cloves

don't worry i don't have a laser and if i did i've learned my lesson about hero shooting

i'm in semi-recovery from that mode atm i'd like to think

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Day 3 ought to be pretty informative in its own right. Alison was a civilian, and there is a clear record of the development of her wagon -- and of Epi's.

[Long Con]

What are you doing to my brain in this game??

Actually, lemme run back to re-read three last night write up.

While I understand that my thought process may defy rationality, this "explanation" is empty with regard to my suspicion. Your whole attitude is fake, and has been all game to varying degrees. "Good idea"? I don't see the value in this empty cheerleading if not solely intended to bolster your town image.

If there's a vigilante I strongly encourage you to shoot someone in the POE pool. If Epi is getting checked then shoot elsewhere.

And I know for damn sure that this is a page in the playbook: put out an opinion that matches your accuser's opinion to emulate synchronicity of thought, or "mind-meld". Page 22, paragraph 3. Subsection ii.

You didn't have to look far at all:

I would prefer checking Epi and confirming him town, due to his claim. Jack Shephard is a doctor, so he might be important to us.

The point was to encourage Kitsu to check out the flavor, because it's something she had been doing plenty of already in the game. And I think she would be better at it than I would. So I told her to go for it. There's nothing else to it.

Two points:

1) I hardly even remember that "Long Con is my accuser"; that is not a point of focus in this game for me. I don't care. It does not help me solve the game at all.

2) This parallel is not intentional. I hardly even registered that your post existed, sorry to say. I have never tried to fake a mindmeld in my Mafia career lol. It's just not something that even occurs to me.

I'm town Long Con. Get off my nuts and help me figure out the game.

Only my mom calls me Long Con. My friends call me LC. You can call me... RoboCop!

[JaggedJimmyJay]

i could see the team being like exactly epi/alison/kitsu if kitsu is a wolf

I mean I thought alison and colin could be but hey either way I'm down with an alison vote.

im honestly still not feeling colin as a wolf

I think for me it was in connection with alison and their interaction that made me feel colin could be scum.

I'm debating whether I want to vote alison or epi. I was leaning alison but either seems like a decent choice for today.

I find Alison's hard dedication to a POE with her in it to be a possible ploy for cred. I found some of her recent posts too rigid at best, revealingly adverby at times, and suspicious at worst.

[VOTE: alison] aubergine

Yes I remember also mentioning earlier that I felt like alison is being pushy about people doing things a certain way or voting a specific set of people and she has been resistive to people deviating from that. Like she has a plan for how it all should all play out or how she wants it all to play out. I think pushing checkers to check the same person and reveal who they're checking may not be in best interest of town.

It looks like the crux of sabie's vote for Alison was that some possible teams collided at her slot (Colin/Alison and Epi/Alison/Kitsu). She summarized a more Alison-focused suspicion in the second post too. I don't think this rationale appears dishonest.
