I'm 99% sure the coin toss landed on MM because I don't know of any way I would have been protected (unless an anonymous civ decided to protect me)

What does that mean to you with regard to MM's alignment?

The nature of the Sleep role, and the fact that we all know it has the killing power, makes that a strategy which only invites scrutiny. I'd say it's more likely that he is either actually silenced because of whatever other role or mechanic might be in play, or he simply hasn't been around to get involved. That circumstance can apply to any alignment. I think the cases available in the thread already are more pertinent.

I think a civ protect is more likely than baddie, I also think MM knew he was safe (he has at least twice this game taunted that he wants to get lynched iirc)

"If Sleep kills, he cannot use his regular power during the same Night"

Does the 15:3:1 ratio have any impact upon your mindset regarding the source of that protection?

that is to say, BWT's arbitrary requirement for more MM votes before he would move his yesterday is weird, boomslang didn't really do anything unusual since the timmer vote, scotty has been fairly inactive but I still haven't seen anything suspicious from him, Lorab I didn't have time to check yet (been out)

linki JJJ

not really because I think the baddies have been given other means to compensate, namely silence and insanifier to disrupt communications and make it easier for them to control discussion. I also think mladic must be an insanifier role and I have doubts that it would be both an insanifier AND a lynch protect.

It is also possible another player has an ability to "borrow" a power from another player, and Vompatti's kill on himself.

Night 3, it appears that more players were cursed than Night 1. Again, this points to the potential that somebody out there can "borrow" a power. This is compounded by the fact that LoRab's curse was a oft-used one on the Syndicate (run your text through an insanifier), so the power-borrower didn't get to choose it (Rico chose a simple one).

I can't recall the specific moment it originated if that's your meaning. The idea stems from the high prevalence of players being insanified in some way or another, often a varying amount each day phase. If there's not more than one role doing that as an origin power, it'd suggest there's a mimicking power of some kind.

It's pretty speculative.

LoRab wrote:Also, you are assuming a lynch protection. Which I agree seems unlikely. However, "so and so survives the first attempt on his/her life," seems a lot more likely as an addition on any role, good or bad. On a 3 person mafia team, I'd say that it's actually quite likely that one of the 2 living players has that as part of their role description.

I'm just not used to seeing people who semi-think alike go after one another, I suppose.

MM, what do you think of Epig? Same question.

MM's opinion of Boomslang doesn't really mean anything to me (most of MM's opinions in general sound loose and superficial to me anyway). As I mentioned, the suspicion I have of him is circumstantial based on the outcome of Day 4, and he couldn't defend against it.

Yeah looks like Scotty said that. Could be.

Okay. I guess a mimicking role isn't such an out there assumption to make then.

I'm going to throw my vote on Scotty today. I hate myself for doing it but I just haven't done anything reading-wise that makes one lynch favorable to another, and I don't want to make a choice between the main wagons just because.

He's not silenced, sleep killed last night

Nope.

??? Casketjack The person who reported on social media to be in possession of the ALFOTHAD cassette, still alive after vanishing from the site. He actually got angered at the unreasonable requests from social media fans about distributing, leaking or sharing the content of ALFOTHAD. As such, he also does not want any player to know of Alfothad's (the player) identity.

Casketjack is listed as civilian, but begins as independent and knows Alfothad’s identity; Alfothad does not know the identity of Casketjack, but will search for him every night, in order to recruit him and gain BTSC. From that point, they can win as the last team standing. If Alfothad is lynched after recruitment occurs, Casketjack can replace him as the serial killer and keep their share win con active. Casketjack's vote for Alfothad in a lynch poll will be worth 0. If Alfothad unknowingly targets an unrecruited Casketjack with a nightkill, the action will fail, but only the first time it occurs.

If Alfothad never finds Casketjack and dies before doing so, Casketjack then reverts to a vanilla civilian. Casketjack's role description will be exposed if Motherfucker = Redeemer checks him, upon recruitment or if he is lynched or if Alfothad dies.
