Still reading the thread, more to come possibly, if I have time.
Actually, I don't really have anything else to say now that I've finished. Lidku's looking pretty bad. I guess I just have to figure out who the partner is now.
Hm, let me consider that.
Options:
Lenglon - Almost certainly not. It would have to be some pretty spectacular bussing. Not that I couldn't imagine it, but it's not exactly Occam-approved.
Shakerag - I put him second because at first I thought it was second least likely, but actually I guess it's kind of plausible. It would mean that Shakerag decided to throw Lidku under the bus here, but, I mean, I'd do it in that position. Shakerag seems to be using this mainly as an opportunity to shore up his own town claims (like the Lenglon thing), which does give me the impression that he has the wrong motivations. I also traditionally suspect the second person to join a bandwagon for bussing (while he hasn't voted that I saw, he has expressed a general attitude of agreement), because of a tendency to want to look eager. This is all circumstantial and should not be taken very seriously, but I hope you can all agree that "kind of plausible" is a reasonable description.
Me - Least likely to me, of course, but I'll fairly put myself in the middle. I guess I can't come up with any really solid reason to argue against it, except that I think I was the first kill target, and otherwise it's hard to explain the lack of kill.
Fallacy - Not unreasonable. Fallacy reads town to me, but who can say? I feel like Fallacy would do a better job managing Lidku in the scumchat, but I don't really know for sure how good he is at it, or how intransigent Lidku may be. The failure of the Mug Protocol is concerning. Still, I just can't make myself suspect Fallacy first here when I townread him since the beginning.
Tric - I think this is fairly likely. First of all, I don't think Tric would be able to guide Lidku to better reactions in the scumchat at all. Second, they've been distancing from each other the whole game, but in a way that never quite comes to building a meaningful case or seriously risking a lynch. Even now, Tric is acting in a way that
seems to be anti-Lidku, while kind of throwing mild amounts of dirt around at other people, as if he's hoping to look like he was on-side if Lidku does get lynched, but still wants a chance at getting someone else lynched. Tric also bluetexted Lidku, which fits in with what I said in Shakerag's line about wanting to look willing to lynch.
Max: quick question, if you had been hit by two mafiakills in the same night, would you have been notified of both of them?
Very unlikely. In fact, it being day 3 and probably MYLO, I'll go ahead and explain how my role actually works: It's the
other half of Fallacy's action that caused me to hear about it. I automatically hide if I don't act, and, if blocked by an ability, learn who and what was responsible. If I hide on my own - which so far has been my only option, because I didn't come with any powers - then I give myself an invention; otherwise the person who blocked me gets it. Since Fallacy's "kill" was a block, it triggered my ability and he stole the invention (a roleblock). A normal kill would still not affect me when hiding, but I wouldn't hear of it.
