[vote] Fali. I’m sorry, but I don’t believe you. If I’m wrong, fair enough. However, you appearing twice on Aldo’s evil list can’t just be a coincidence. As Ali said, it would take some balls to lie about being Psychic, as well as luck for accurately guessing Dive being evil. I’m still iffy on Hypurr but I think Fali is more of a priority lynch right now considering he appeared twice.

Hi yes I return from the land of sleeping. Please excuse me as it’s a little hard to format things on mobile, I’ll try my best. I am, indeed, the other Escort. I lied about being roleblocked before since Escorts are immune to being roleblocked and I did not want to paint a huge target on my back. It does not, surprisingly; there can literally be any role and any amount of one non-unique role in play at the same time. You could even find 1 mafia, 1 coven, a bunch of third parties, and only 1 or 2 townies. In the actual ToS game, it’s suuuuper unbalanced as anything can happen, though because this is a game on the forums, I predict it was made a bit more balanced. I had actually targetted Eric both N1 and N2, however on N2 I did get visited by the Coven Leader and I’m not sure where I ended up (presumably Lykos, since you visited Dive). Fali has appeared in this evils list twice now. Why are we voting Matt? Someone is lying here.

Speaking of Hypurr, I'm still not sure if he's good. I guess only time will tell, and since we seem to have lost our only known investigative role (barring one of them), there's still a possibility either way. The only reason I could think of for the Coven Leader to keep me alive would be to paint suspicion on me. However, I can assure you I'm town. I'm not sure how you all view me right now, but hopefully we can get some information soon. The fact that the Poisoner and Coven Leader have been confirmed leads me to believe there may not be any Mafia members, or they're simply inactive. I doubt we've been lucky enough to block/jail Mafia members throughout the entire game. On the plus side, we've been lucky to only lose 1 townie so far, but I'm not sure we can be so confident just yet. Does anyone have anything else to add?

I hate guilty-voting a claimed Exe as their wincon is compatible with everyone's, and they can also help town in the event we need it most (without them being counted as a townie, of course), however this does make them a huge wildcard and it's uncertain whether or not they'll actually help town when it matters. I don't know how long we have left to vote, but since there's currently 10 guilty voters (including Mimi) according to the Discord server, inno voting won't make a difference. If we have enough time and we decide to change, I'm happy inno-voting to give Dive a chance. [Guilty]

On one hand, I kind of would like Dive to share his target as it actually confirms someone as town. However, that actually paints a big target on their back and doesn’t help town in the longrun. I wouldn’t mind sharing my role, although at that point it’s a bit redundant. We need to start lynching...or not. I’m not sure how Nano will work this game, but if someone doesn’t die soon then this game could end in a tie. That’s how it works on ToS at least.

Aldo’s evil readings can pick up all three evils, just like his good readings can pick up both townies. Since Hypurr appeared on both, I have a feeling he might be evil. Granted a townie can appear on both lists, but who knows at this point? Also I have a feeling we have at least 2 doctors; I can’t remember if one doctor can heal poison and heal against an attack in the same night.

I got visited by the coven leader last night, so I don’t know what happened or where I ended up. The coven leader now knows my role and they get the necro soon, so I’ll probably die next anyways. I’m just going to say right now that I’m town so that someone in the coven can’t turn Aldo’s readings against me. I don’t really have anything to hide since the Coven now knows my role, so I can at least reveal this much to you all. With that, [vote] Hypurr.

How did Amine whisper 2 people? Did he whisper one yesterday and then one today? Nano’s altered the rules so we can only whisper one person per day for this game (and probably future ToS games, thanks Bean). Also, Seal’s claim about being Vampire Hunter is interesting as this confirms there’s at least one Vampire. I am not sure if this is accurate, but usually a Vampire Hunter only spawns if there’s a Vampire, if VH spawns at all. [vote] Amine. Sorry, Amine. You mentioned something before about you being killed because of your role, but you didn’t actually mention what your role was unless I’m mistaken. I don’t know who else to vote since Seal seems fine and Eric doesn’t seem sus. If I’m not mistaken, we need 8 votes on one person to send them on trial. We have about 3 hours of the day phase left. If we don’t decide on a vote, then no one will be lynched today (which is fine, but we can’t keep doing this too often).

I don’t think you do. I looked up its role since I am not familiar with it. Seems its purpose is to send out false system messages (such as roleblock, poison, healing, etc.) and you’d get the same result that you’d usually get if you got roleblocked, poisoned or healed (etc.). Though since Nano just made an announcement regarding it, we’ll probably learn about it soon.

I forgot to mention this sooner, but there seems to be another roleblocker in play. I got roleblocked last night as well; with good reason, I suppose. Sorry for not mentioning it before, I thought my previous post was lengthy enough. Either we really do have this amount of roleblockers, someone’s trying to lie about being blocked, or it confirms there’s a Hypnotiser in the setup as well.

Welp. With people claiming to get roleblocked, it becomes clearer to me that one of them might have attempted a kill. The evidence matches up to the phase post where we learned that nobody died, but it could be that we don’t yet have a killing role in play, or at least one that can’t act yet. (If the PlagueBearer exists, once they infect everyone alive at that point, I’m pretty sure they turn into a role that can start killing people.) I have not played much as the Coven Leader in ToS itself, but from my understanding I think it works like the Witch role from ToS (it literally replaces said role in the Coven), in the sense where it can control one person into another. I am not sure which roles exist in this setup, but Coven Leader will be pretty dangerous after N3 as I am pretty sure access to the Necronomicon gives them the ability to drain the life force of those they control (essentially killing them). Since this is pretty much AnyAll Chaos, I’m probably not going to be surprised with roles that exist.

W-Wow, there are so many forward p-people in this town,,,

UwU

Nyoooooooooooom.

Well, that’s certainly a twist if I ever saw one. Unfortunately, Amine has already stated that we’d know if someone has been culted if they die and just a mere claim isn’t really enough for that, considering I’d assume it only changes their alignment and not really their name (besides removing their ability). [unvote] Evi Crystal. It took you a long time to get to this point, which makes me suspect you a bit, but this is enough to make me unvote you for the time being. This is a bit weird considering only mafia, so far, have won the boosters (excluding the time we knew that Fali earned it), perhaps for their own needs, who knows? We already have some votes on Evi and I’m not sure if I get a scum vibe from her, so I’ll just, hopefully, pressure vote someone else. [eliminate] Walpurgis.

I am not sure I'm fond of Aldo's reasoning which, to me, seemed like an excuse to avoid voting for Crystal despite how she's been behaving. Regarding this comment: I'm not sure if I fully agree with that. Newt's a random player for sure, but I'm feeling more and more confident that he was trying to bait someone. It was a more subtle way of doing it, but you could tell by our interactions that he was not voting me because he found me suspicious. Like others mentioned before, it seemed that Crystal's explanation for voting me was not super convincing, and I was the only person to be referred to as a "criminal", and even if she did actually intend to vote for Bean, her explanation for voting me does not add up with her words before casting the vote. It's still very hard to grasp some opinions on people. If there weren't as many people inactive I'd consider them as town folk... however, with the amount of inactive people, it's very hard to assume that anymore. With any luck, the person who rolled the cult leader is one of the inactives. I guess we'll see what happens later on. For now, I'd like to hear from the likes of @Walpurgis, @Anti-Loser and @Eviora -- there are a few others I'd also ping but I am not sure they'd answer. I haven't heard much at all from the first two, and Evi has contributed but I think there's a bit more she could bring to the table. Since I can't vote for multiple people, I'll place a pressure vote on Crystal again. I can remove it if necessary, however, Newt being killed immediately after accusing Crystal is quite suspicious in itself. [eliminate] Evi Crystal.

Oh? What's your implication behind this?

[unvote] Newt. Crystal was quite quick to follow up on a vote on me, which I could only assume as baiting from Newt. It's quite suspicious given she virtually came from nowhere to quickly place a vote. This is unfortunate, given it could either be that she either wasn't paying much attention and just saw Newt's vote and followed up on it, a simple mistake, or she really is mafia (or maybe a part of the cult) since she didn't really consider looking too much into it. Granted, I might look suspicious right now but I feel like this paints a bad light onto her. If I'm calculating right, we don't have too much time left in the day phase (or I could be 24 hours ahead, and in that case I'll apologise), which means I'd like for Crystal to perhaps explain herself. I'm going to put a placeholder vote onto her for now in hopes she can shed some light onto her behaviour and convince me that she's a member of the village. I need to vote for someone, and I wasn't really planning on keeping my vote on Newt, and so this will be my vote unless I can be convinced otherwise. [eliminate] Evi Crystal.

I'm no criminal, this is just normal Nicki-Newt behaviour!

[eliminate] Newt. No u! OMGUS. I'm simply stating several possible scenarios here. I really don't know which scenario is correct.

Gonna have to make a slight correction there. It’s Mion who becomes insane due to the death of Keiichi, not Shion. But, yes, I think I can agree that Bean has been acting in such a way before Keiichi perished. However, this still tells us nothing. It could be Bean being... well, Bean. He’s so random in every game that it’s hard for me to grasp an opinion on him. He could still be Mion and just be acting weirdly for the sake of it.

After taking a break and coming back to... not a lot, to be honest, and rereading the thread, Bean’s behaviour is really striking me as odd and is actually bothering me. I currently have no reason to believe Mimi is lying about the insanity mechanic, and if that’s how it is...if Bean was struck by the insanity mechanic, like Dive suggested on D1, he’d have probably killed someone by now, right? Unless each case is different, the only day death I’ve noted was when Mion killed Ooishi... There’s...nothing in the role list suggesting there’s a Cthulhu-like role either. Knowing the series, there’s also...nothing that would make someone act like that. Unless Bean is hinting that he’s been culted, but even then... this is bothering me more than it should. With the sheer amount of inactive people, it’s pretty hard to grasp proper reads. I don’t want to start voting off the inactives but we’ll end up losing most of the players in one bulk if we continue to let them be inactive. This is a tricky scenario indeed.

Yikes. I’ve been busy so I haven’t been able to check the thread much, but not a lot has happened besides people voting for Bean and following up on previous votes... There isn’t really much to go off here and I’m not too sure on what to do. Mion killing Ooishi is unfortunate, but it wasn’t super unexpected, given the hints in the phase post. I could do a placeholder vote as well, but I still need to come back before the day phase ends so I can reach post requirements anyway. I’ll probably have more thoughts then.

Can I [eliminate] Bean just for that string of wtf-ery?

Securing my place knowing I won’t get the slot 1 or 15 medium curse.
