Unvote. Congrats NQT. It took you a bit but you've won me over. As nervous as this makes me, I'm willing to trust both you and Deathsword to the bitter end. There is nothing left to hide. This charade is over.
I have a lot to say, so I am going to throw out a tentative Extend vote. We may need another day or two to discuss, and we can always shorten if we do happen to come to a decision.
There is a wall of text incoming...
I am the final remaining bully, Birdy51, the Vengeful Child-Hood Friend-San. I was our team's redirector. I can supply where and when I redirected people, but I'll talk about that later if there is still time.
There are a few things I need to say.
First, Griffinpup. I fully expect you to vote for me after this claim, and this is merely in anticipation to cancel out your vote. I am certain we'll talk later. Have a good night.
Deathsword I apologize for manipulating you. NQT's behavior bothered me significantly, even as a bully. However, the only way I could have possibly achieved a lynch against him would have been by manipulating both you and Griffinpup to vote for him. I hope there is no ill will there, as you would have still been able to win if I had followed through with my plans.
NQT. To be blunt, you scare me shitless, far more than I fear either Griffinpup or Deathsword. I don't know whether you are telling the truth or not, but your polite candor impressed me. You did not run or start making excuses. Rather you made your answers quite plain.
One of the first lessons I learned playing Mafia, is that simple answers can speak volumes more than a complex one. I'm putting my trust in the fact that you a Love Third Party based on how you reacted to my prodding. My victory depends on it because I cannot perform our factional night kill.
Shinigami King and Zombie Urist both had the ability to bully people. The way that they bullied was different between them both. Shinigami was a seductress archetype, while ZU tended to scream at things until they ran away. This is what Shinigami meant when he said we could kill more than one person at a time.
However, to actually bully someone, they had to be at the right house with the right amount of people in them. Neither of them would stood a chance if the Town suddenly decided to band together and share a house.
That is where I come in.
As I mentioned earlier, I am the scum team redirector. It was my job to deflect threats against them and prevent clumping. However, my redirect does not work like yours does Deathsword. Mine is a bit more random.
I select a house and prepare to stay at home for the night. Anyone attempting to visit that house randomly ends up in three houses of my choosing. In this way, other players are filtered from one another, thus preventing them from protecting themselves in a party situation. But, this role would be much too swingy if I was also able Night Kill. Case in point, Night 1.
Griffinpup stopped in. I wasn't interrupted like you can be Deathsword, but I also was not able to harm him because we already ha two bullies on the loose. Rather, I was treated like any other girl would have been treated. We spent the night together.
Night 4, I decided to be the one to return the favor and paid him a visit in order to maintain a "safe" appearance by helping him gain his powers. I couldn't bully him, so my only option was to gain his trust and hope that I last long enough to not get lynched.
Then suddenly, Dinosaur Rampage.
She's the only reason Team Scum might actually pull off a victory. This is one chance that I didn't want to screw up, which made me edgy. After Tiruin's sudden rampage, I felt compelled to make myself certain that I can trust the players that remain. If one player managed to hide that vicious of a secret, then what else could be lurking?
I thought to thin the field, and ensure that there was no room for error, so I fished around for anything else that might be lurking. You became a prime suspect in that search, NQT. But I believe I can trust you, so I shall give you a chance to love and not such be a bastard about it. I've spent more than enough time being paranoid.
I have a plan to see to it that both you and Deathsword can win the game. It's fool proof for allowing at least one of you to find love.
It's simple.
NQT, go to House 4. This is Griffinpup's house. I know his house number because Shinigami paid a visit on Day 2 and the party got crashed by Dariush.
Deathsword, use your redirect to pull all people going to House 14 to your house at 3.
I shall use my own redirect to move everyone going to my House at 6, go to Houses 3, 14, and 4. This leaves nowhere for Griffinpup to avoid love.
Once we get to Night 6, we can start planning for that as well.
For quick reference, here is what I am all claiming.
I am the last scum and redirector, and I need the Third-Parties out of the game to force Griffinpup into a stalemate.
I admit to trying to get NQT lynched, on grounds of paranoid suspicions.
I cannot kill, which forces me to rely on the Third-Parties wanting to fulfill their wincon to win.
I have a plan, but it requires you both to trust me.
I am confident I managed to miss something… So please ask questions, even ones that might appear to have obvious answers. Hiding anything is the very last thing I want to do.
So please, ask me anything.
