Vector, I am going to be annoyed if you're mafia. Where are you?

Hey, guess what, I was teaching like I'm employed to do.

ToonyMan is definitely the one I want gone.

Somewhat glad things didn't end last night.

Unvote. Any particular reasoning for that?

FoU hasn't been on so that's why the day didn't end.

I would let Tric unvote so this game can end faster rather than have a tie in a game where mafia suck.

Question, if I'm not a gunsmith then what am I?

Or do you believe I'm a gunsmith but also mafia? A gunsmith mafia that wouldn't be able to find their ally since Web would have come back innocent. A gunsmith mafia that didn't kill anyone on N1 since Max didn't commute, although maybe they did since Roden jailkeeped them. A gunsmith mafia that somehow killed their ally on N2 because we're trusting NJW's word. A gunsmith mafia that did not even attempt to kill Vector on N3 which would have put the deciding vote in Tric's hands. A gunsmith mafia that would still lose 50% of the time even if NJW was hammered since Tric would shoot them. That is me? That is my role in this?

Tric, Vector is voting me because they don't believe me. The same reason you voted NJW over me. Vector will never stop not believing me. So whatever. You play the hand you're dealt and sometimes there's nothing you can do.

Sorry about the lack of Day end, I didn't realize it was at 2 AM and not 10... something. I'll get on with that.

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

Would you like to play a game of Mafia? The subforum is always open to new players.

Ultimately I can't really justify this as Tric's vote happened well after 2 AM. Technically speaking the Day should have ended then.

I'll have a longer break in between the end of this Round and the start of Round 4 though, so y'all can rest. Seems needed.

3 to hammer.


The exhaustion seemed to suffuse the room just as much as it touched the hearts and minds of the final few players of the deadly game. On the one end of the room stood ToonyMan and TricMagic. On the other end of the room, Vector and NJW2000 stood together, united. The division was too much - their forces, equal.

The dark heart pulsed louder. The lights flickered.

Without unity there could be no force - no execution of the rot lurking within the hotel's halls.

As there was a tie, nobody was executed.

It is now Night 4. Night 4 will end at around 4 PM Saturday, Central/Forum time, or when all needed Night actions are available to process.

Someone has rigged up a candle-containing steel lantern to illuminate the room, but it's not needed just yet. For now you set it aside.

The windows provided enough light to find the fallen body of NJW2000, demonstrably and provably innocent in all of this - there was no instrument of murder in his room, only a cryptic logbook.

NJW2000 was Town.

The logbook took some effort to decode, but it spoke of impossible powers and mundane janitorial shifts. The warping of space used to facilitate the cleaning of WUBA-Inc's bathrooms. The disconnect was humorous, but nobody could laugh.

Quote
Deflector (town):
(Auto) Orders: Instead of being able to choose your own action's primary target, your primary target is selected for you by the Captain. You may still choose not to act. If the Captain dies, you lose the ability to act if they were Town and gain the ability to act freely if they were non-Town.
(Night) Deflect [target1] [target2]: You tear open a wormhole, causing every player whose primary target matches your first target to change their primary target to your second target. The redirection will not occur if it would cause a player to self-target.

There was no energy left to laugh with. Just three exhausted survivors.

This was the end - of this iteration.

There was only one thing left to do.

Day 5 has begun, and will end on hammer, or in 48 hours - Monday, 5 PM, Central/Forum time.

... I suppose we finally found out it could self-target. but that makes no sense in the first place. Confusing to the very end.

...I checked NJW and they were clean. So that's everyone now.

Did you do anything Tric?

Did Vector give you anything last night?

To note, going to go to bed now, and make my decision tomorrow. (That includes some time for question and answer, but things look a lot worse today.)

I gave NJW a 50-50 bulletproof vest.

Right, at this point I think you are mafia Vector. What were you thinking?

That literally makes no sense to me unless you planned to vote NJW. It would cut our chances down. What's your endgoal?
