Hot diggity shit, we actually got one, huh? That's great. Im glad it worked out. I had my doubts.

Now we've got something to work with. The next step is to figure out who was in the closest proximity to JJJ and who might have been distancing from him. You already knew that obviously. That's why we're here after all.

The last night where Jay got lynched would have been the ideal time for his team to bus him, but watching the lynch there wasn't certainty that he was going to die until probably the last hour or so. There's probably a lot to work with there. Watch out for anyone who seemed to actively push non-Jay options.

We should also scour his posts for clues and of course keep in mind that by the start of day 4 he must have already had some idea that he'd be lynched. Don't forget that Jay was involved in two separate lynches. That's twice as much content to analyze whilst searching for his teammates.

K2's top choices for possible JJJ partners are: Cbob, Sig, LC, Quin, and maybe DDL. I might have put Kylemii on that list as well but Kyle's been reading as authentic to me lately with his attempts to find JJJ's teammates. I have a feeling that Epi/Kyle is civ/civ. I would like to kindly request that they lay off each other for maybe a cycle and focus on other players.

Additionally, K2 thinks Jay's flip should clear Dunya and Epig from suspicion.

K2 thinks the long entry period of this game ending with the lynch of their comrade paired with the civvie trust pool we've already established must weigh on the hearts and minds of the mafia. Keep an eye out for players with weakened morale.

With all this in mind, K2 thinks the best lynch for day 5 would be CBob but K2 is open to suggestions.

Gonna finish off with a fun mountain fact:

Did you know mountains are the largest living land animal? They're not. Mountains aren't animals, you fool. You imbecile. Not all of them even live on land. Ever heard of underwater volcanoes? Get out of my sight. Learn some fucking science and then get back to me. I bet you didn't even understand that really clever meatier shower joke that I made earlier. Who do you think you are?

Anyway that's all for this issue of K2 magazine. Sorry for the day of silence. Hopefully you'll be hearing from me again soon, unless I die, get roleblocked, have my broadcast hijacked by Chimbarazoa, or just forget to send a PM again... Let's all do our best and keep killing those tiny mountains!

With Love,
K2

I'm reading everything he says through scum-colored glasses at this point. That defense looks out of place and paranoid. I need someone to tell me if my read of bob is unfair in any way.

colonialbob wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2017 12:43 am Why would it?

A) I'm not bad
B) if I'm mafia why am I trying to save a teammate who can't even be bothered to show up to defend himself

I think it's too late in the Day (funny, since there are hours left of it) to concern ourselves with lynching colonialbob. My opinion of him will fall into the lowest valley if malakim2099 is shown to be bad.

Bear in mind, however, that malakim2099 subbed in and kept reiterating his perception that his lynching was a foregone conclusion. I maintain it was not, but he kept harping on it all the same. His posts, despite their aggravation, sound like someone who knows he's going down eventually and needs to do some forward planning.

For the sake of clarity, why would malakim flipping bad paint bob in a negative light?

I guess that suffices. Do you have any thoughts on bob's response to that?

He didn't really respond to that.

I'll throw this out there.

If anyone had a motive to kill Jack, it would be you- not so much because Jack suspected you, but because he was being suspected, and if he were lynched and was shown to be the role that stopped the lynch the Day you almost got lynched, it could have proved calamitous for you.

There.

There.

One of the first things that crossed my mind when Jack died was that I was being framed, but I usually stay far away from nightkill analysis because it's not a thing I'm good at.

I agree that cBob's posts looked overly defensive concerning Malakim for no reason.

Epi is joining the tinfoil sloonei train. Keikaku doori. Does anyoe have experience with scum!sloonei? (JJJ probably does, but he scum and dead)

Does malakim's flip affect your read of bob at all?

Why were you so against voting Malakim?

Bob is my strongest suspect independent of all players without 3 J's in their name.

I supported the lynch by the end of the day, but I opposed it initially for two reasons: malakim's reaction to the janitored nightkills looked like authentic surprise which I did not think made sense coming from a player who would have had a hand in the killings. And the argument that "Jay lynched Mesk to save Dom/mal" on Day 3 was stupid.

Indeed. I did not need to. I made a post about this.

I'm not as confident in the majority of these reads as I'd normally be at this stage in a game, but 24 hour cycles are much more fast-paced than I am used to (even if there have been a couple of delays in this one), and the overall lack of verifiable information circulating in the thread makes this a difficult atmosphere for problem-solving at the moment. If I remain alive, a lot of these reads would be likely to shift all over the place, I'm sure.
THAT SAID, with regards to the work I've done during this night phase to parse through everything Jay said and analyze the relationships he had with various players in this thread is something that I approached with a good deal of confidence. Jay is the person I've played more games of mafia with than anyone else on the planet by a long shot. I think I have a good grasp of how he plays and thinks about the game, so I felt I had a pretty good sense of the direction he would likely have gone in under the heavy scrutiny he faced over the last phase and a half that he was alive. My theories and my investigation were tailored to him specifically, so I hope they hold some merit. That is not to say my word should be taken as gospel, but Jay is a player I think I am capable of reading well so I feel good about the observations I have made.

Besides that, this has been a chaotic, messy, lovely game. I've felt completely lost at times and that feeling still has not gone away completely. So approach my general reads with caution, if at all.
