HapahYou can't just say it's dumb and that's it; it'd be kinda like saying someone is scum without going into any details. If you really want me to use my vote I'll park it on you (NQT) to break the tie, though I'd much rather you just start cooperating. Am I communicating poorly? All I want is the list of who you investigated each night. Though on reflection, it makes absolutely no sense why you're pressing flavor questions now when you didn't do any flavor investigations last night.
I'm really glad I noticed that. Can you explain?
Okay: you're probably scum because everyone else is most likely town. This conclusions has emerged from a holistic appreciation of the voting patterns, player interactions and various players being cleared through investigation. In short:
Toony's vote profile is pro-town and I believe in his conversation with Dariush so this marks him as not-a-witch
Shakerag has no powers so is not a witch
Birdy was
probably cleared with wincon nonsense and as Dariush didn't get it at the time, Birdy is probably town
Griffinpup/Hapah has avoided voting scum all game (in fact, mostly avoided voting full stop), tried to elongate Toaster's life and has been subject to very weak distancing from Toaster
ZU has been in a coma and admits to being a counterpart to Tiruin. I've double-checked and I see that Tiruin claimed she was looking to bind her polar opposite and it looks like she bound ZU so...
I'll give you the list of who I investigated when you give me my answer. I'm trying to eke the most out of the uncertainty as to who I investigated throughout
the whole game before coming clean. Do you understand? If I admit I haven't investigated someone then they will feel more free to lie to me. If there's uncertainty then they won't know whether I secretly know the truth. I'm not being difficult just for the sake of it.
Either the kills or the investigations in a given night, not both. I don't think I'd be an idiot for guessing that might be a possibility.
Well you obviously haven't been keeping track as I've clearly asked specific investigation-follow-up questions after each night:
Everyone
The more information we have the better. If Tiruin had been more forthcoming and clearer sooner she might have avoided being lynched. Still, her death gives us useful intelligence: amongst us there is a death shaman. If anyone has anything they want to share, go ahead.
Cases:
Dariush and Ottofar played atrociously yesterday, with Dariush actively ignoring everything I said.
Tiruin said she was out to protect her opposite and she warded Toonyman. This would strongly imply that Toony is the Death Shaman.
Toaster and Toony
Yeah, I figured that's what you meant. I assume you're an inquisitor, then?
That would be the obvious conclusion, yes.
NQT: Care claiming who you inspected N0?
You never answered Toaster, who did you inspect N0 and now N1?
Unfortunately, I couldn't do any investigation N0. Last night I investigated Leafsnail, Ottofar and Dariush. The latter two didn't lie about their names and professions. This is only the first round of investigations and a closer look at any of them will turn up more.
Lenglon
low on time, real post later:
NQT: DO NOT claim all of Leaf's flavor. claim one fact that is unlikely to be guessed randomly, do not claim ANYTHING else about him yet.
Why not?
Leafsnail
NQT: What is my role flavour?
I'm holding off on all the details, Martin, until I get an answer from Lenglon. I know your full name and profession. I've seen your dyed grey blanket and what you keep in your cart. That should be enough to show I'm telling the truth.
Okami
Did you grow up in a monastery? Do you know your family?
Dariush
Why does your work lie unfinished on the bench? Where have you been for the last few days? Where are your apprentices?Why have you prospered in this time of great suffering?
You tried to get me lyched yesterday, deaf to my reasoning. You have only furnished us with reasons to hang you today.
Toonyman
I'm a spirit bound with only one goal. To search for my polar opposite. To bind him by keeping him alive. And to survive--my everything is directed at only benevolent intent, and as a side, I was geared to use it on any mislynch, ever.
Tiruin casts her ward at ToonyMan.
ToonyMan has been Warded!l
Are you Tiruin's opposite? Are you magical? Are you a death shaman? Why would Tiruin think you were?
[Just a head's up: I won't be around much this weekend. Going to stay with some friends down on the coast.]
I'd say we're doing a good job so far.
Shakerag— you weren't always a maid, were you? Was your dead husband particularly rich, a man of note perhaps?
I'm concerned about being night killed, so I'll probably reveal details before the end of the day.
What happened in regards to this?
I didn't have time at the end of the last day to say what I could have said. Now certain people are back in the game I'll be able to make enquiries before revealing all that I know.
Leafsnail— I'm not a mother or a crone, and so I would most fall into the 'maiden' category. I'm waiting to hear back from LNCP on how old I am.
Toonyman— that's quite a dramatic reveal. Why do you think, as Viscount, you're above death-shaman suspicion?
Solifuge— Were you raised in a monastery? Be honest here, look what happened when Dariush lied to me.
Toaster— Why weren't you voting for the outed Witch at the end of Day 2?
Shakerag, tell us all about the two people you share a room with. Don't lie.
ToonyMan, why did you shelter the widow Marie Bouvet? Are you having an affair with her?
Birdy, how do you feel about the death of your brother?
Lenglon, if you're such a good shoemaker, why haven't you regained your wealth? Also, what made Leafsnail the scummiest player yesterday?
Irony Owl, you previously said your top scum picks were Lenglon and Toaster. At the end of yesterday you were voting Toonyman. Care to explain what made him scummier?
Hapah, you did nothing with your vote yesterday. Your attempts to appear inconspicuous have rendered you wholly conspicuous. Oh! And you're a Mother, aren't you?
Finally, I'm of some definite and concrete good:
Shakerag is not a witch
I investigated them the required number of times to see one of their abilities and they have none. We know that the witches have lots of abilities (check the last two withes games!). Shakerag is not a Witch. Posting from phone here so can't review my list of suspects but by tomorrow evening investigations will be up and running...
ZU did you resurrect yourself?
But do explain to me when in my busy schedule I was supposed to find time for some light murdering?
And yeah, I still stand by that text. If ZU was obviously the Shaman that I probably would, but it must not be so obvious if the confirmed non-Witch is voting you, yeah?
Shakerag's vote is just a bullshit pressure vote. They'll vote you or ZU by day's end unless they've taken complete leave of their sense. And as for Lenglon, it's totally weak and betrays a complete lack of game awareness. Lenglon cleared herself with that wincon stuff. She was being lazy at that point and you were fine to follow up but if you're saying she was
more scummy than anyone else at day's end, then you're going to have to have made a much stronger case.
Of course I've read the thread. You haven't clearly investigated someone every night, you've clearly investigated some people at some point. There's a difference. You're not asking people to engage their brains, you're mocking anyone that doesn't agree with your point of view. And I don't think anyone is questioning your witch-killing credentials, but that doesn't mean much when you're under some suspicion of being a 3rd party. And I don't know what that last bit is, but I'm sure there's a Mafia term for it: dead townies don't magically know alignments just because they died.
See the spoilers above. Sure dead townies don't know everything, but we can be sure that they weren't deliberately misrepresenting cases.
ToonyI do have a question though, why are you voting Zombie Urist if you suspect they're the DS? I mean, I know you want to lynch that Death Shaman but I'm not sure the DS counts as a "witch" for our wincon unless you're a third-party.
You make a reasonable point but I want the best ending possible for the town and following what the Inquisitors have said, all witches and malefactors must be rooted out. I say we lynch ZU today, lynch Hapah tomorrow, dust our palms and head off into the sunset.
ShakeragCheck the spoilers above if you want my post-investigation questions after each night (showing I investigated every night). I'll give a full breakdown once Hapah answers the simple question. LNCP got back to me about the boot and the upshot is that you're probably not connected (the craftmanship is better on yours but it's too well-worn to really tell).
