Well Imp, you blew it. Here's the real reason. You know, I haven't posted a readslist this entire game thus far. I should change that shouldn't I?
Jim and EP are pirate, not mafia, but not masons and still need to die. Jim's the redirector of the pair. There's no way there's two different mason-miller teams, we don't get to have both Jack's and Jim and EP's as real. They were slow to explain things yesterday to avoid self-incriminating, and redirected CK to Max as a proxy to check Max without putting themselves at risk of detection, having suspected that Max might be SK but not having confirmation.
Toony, Hector, CK, and dorf are town, and are honest in their claims.
Max is SK (the necromancer) and got caught up having fun performing a deduction spiral and forgot what their own wincon is.
Crystal is pirate with Jim and EP, and probably really annoyed at being kept out of the game by Max.
Imp is last maf, the merger, having stayed off the BHK wagon, stayed off the Egan wagon, and stayed off the sofanthiel wagon.
They are refusing to break the post restriction in order to retain their factionkill.
Oh, and yesterday I was redirected to someone Jim/EP wanted inspected for them because they're high-risk, namely secretdorf. secret was merged with BHK by Imp for similar reasons.
This is kind of hard to respond to since a lot of it relies on supposition and speculation that isn't really based off of anything.
I'd say it's unlikely for me and Elephant Parade to be a pirate team since we inspect as mafia, and if we didn't kill EuchreJack he and ToonyMan could have made five town players inspect as Pirates, at which point there would be more Pirates millers than actual Pirates which I guess is possible but feels kind of strange. I don't think Crystalizedmire makes a good teammate for a potential Jim/Elephant Parade scum team since I really want to lynch Crystalizedmire if they're ever not banished.
Jack's ability was a neighborizer, and not a masonizer, so there would be two miller group chats, but not two miller mason groups like you're suggesting, which is less pedantic of you than I usually expect.
And you know, maybe FallacyofUrist didn't want your group chat inspect to be wholly infallible by having it only work on scum, and so having a neighbor group and a mason group isn't so unreasonable to expect from that perspective.
Also, scum team EP/Jim/CM isn't responsible for NQT's death because EP and I have provable actions and CM has been banished, so unless you suspect double actors, then us doing the kill doesn't work out.
Also, reading ToonyMan as town and his claims as accurate, but arguing that Imp retained some weird mafia powers that ToonyMan's role swap wouldn't have eliminated is certainly possible, but seems like a stretch.
So overall, wildly speculative/10.
dorf: DO NOT make any suicide plays, we don't have enough town votes to retain majority if you are dead. You are our counter to Jim, and Jim's vote-stealing will enable him to win on the spot if you kill yourself.
I can't accumulate votes like Secretdorf can.
lol
I am surprised about Jim and EP. But when that I actually think about it, there is a moderate probability it's true. The bomber EP is a greater threat probably. But why were they asking Imp to inspect them?
Because we're actually masons and the infallible, unredirectable inspect Imp has would confirm two players for the price of one.
Is Imp mafia?
Probably not. Imp not choosing to solve your slot at some point bugs me and refusing to break the post restriction also bugs me. Alone, it's whatever, but together, it's suspect.
I think this obsessive behavior regarding you inflicts town players, particularly inexperienced ones, more often than scum, and that's mostly what I see with Imp. At least, I hope this isn't being done knowingly and intentionally because that would be rude.
I already said I expected Esteemed Secretdorf would have a vig kill last night.
I called for that and was told I was heard by someone who claims they can do that, D4.
who said this
Lenglon, what other things can you purchase with the currency you accumulate?
Max, what's the nature of you being normally untargetable? Are you passively bussing yourself with people?
