somitomi has been eliminated. He was the Sorcerer.


Night 1 begins and is 48 hours. Please send me night actions and if you want a fast night, in which case Night will be 24 hours.

I'm going to be honest, I feel like I'm genuinely bad at Mafia. I feel like I constantly am stuck clarifying stupid jokes that I thought were clever at the time instead of making actual content.

This is being written at 1:47 AM and I don't think I will regain connection before I go to bed. Continuing writing in the morning. Leaving the above as-is.


Just got internet back, don't know if this is past deadline or not, catching up from after Bessie's read two days ago

Day 2 Begins!

EGW was killed during the Night. He was Vanilla Town.

Go town!

gg egw

time to find out if we have a cc for bessie:

1. EGW - Vanilla
2. PJ
3. Adum
4. somi - Sorcerer
5. heury
6. bessie - Claimed Seer
7. Mak
8. Fred
9. Maven
10. moody
11. Dooplisity - Not Seer

y'all don't need to claim what you are, just if you're the seer or not

also at some point we definitely have to go back and re-read somi with the knowledge that they knew who the wolves are, but I can't do that right now

Yaaaa, my apologies for not being here, I misremembered the deadline and was otherwise engaged. Need to put an alarm for next one.

Unrelatedly, I'm gonna say it, I'm 99% sure I fucked up on the Mak scumread. I ADAMANTLY disagree that an early claim for a noob read like Fred with nothing scummy about them makes sense in this setup, but that's something that we'll discuss post-game.

I'll reread the interaction but Som tried to direct the wagon onto Mak, and as I understand it Som didn't have that much pressure on them at that point, so it's unlikely it was an attempt at distancing, which would be the the sorcerer's advantage if they knew they were gonna die. Not when a fair number of people were already suspicious of Mak and he could've potentially been lynched.

I'm also in the noobtown camp for Freddino now. I find the night posting really unlikely with a scum partner actively communicating with them. Seems like somebody lost and alone unless the other wolf was inactive.

Gotta reread a bunch of stuff with the knowledge of SomSorc and EGW town.

Btw, I had a medical emergency and had to not go on my camping trip which I'd been looking forward to most of the year, plus side I won't be V/LA til Monday after all.

Bask in my presence friends!

I take it you are not thefather seer then?

Not claiming one way or the other yet. You proposed it and I haven't decided if it's to town's advantage.

I'd like other player's thoughts first, particularly Mak's.

The fact that Bessie's still alive and the the martyr didn't die tells us scum didn't go for Bessie, we have 3 more days til lylo (2 to Mylo if the hunter dies with the wrong target) and with that the longer we wait the more reads we can get confirmed if we do decide to lynch them or scum kills them.

Speaking of which Bessie what's your result?

(Obviously if they do flip deer, if they flip scum obviously those reads are useless)

Wait, hold on actually.

...why? we have a martyr alive and a claimed seer

if bessie is the seer then we still get another clear out of her, and we take 3 people out of the scum pool (myself, bessie, bessie's n1 clear)

if bessie is not the seer then since the sorc is dead, she is a wolf. We don't have to lynch in [bessie, counterclaimer] today since we know there's another wolf outside the pool, and wolves are forced to either clear that up for us or let our real seer keep accumulating clears. whereas if bessie is lying and they get lucky and dome the real seer tomorrow, we lose the reads anyway

the martyr or bessie not being dead does mean they didn't attack bessie but i could reasonably see that as a gambit (scum is super fucked from this gamestate imo)

Because if it's a fake claim we might not have to out the real seer.

I want time for people to discuss and Bessie needs to give everyone they targeted and all their results ASAP

Heury doop EGW and me are all unfathomably based

EGW died for his basedness and for that we must honor him

Everyone else is super cringe, except bessie whose cringeness is TBD

Adum slightly less cringe for immediately correcting course on me

Bessie you need to claim result ASAP, NO ONE SHOULD COUNTERCLAIM UNTIL BESSIE HAS POSTED RESULT

but im gonna be a little cringe as a treat and affirmatively say I am NOT the seer

gg wp at the EOD pivot for those who were there, off to a great start this game

Ah yes, þe olde Follow the Cop plan. It seems so simple, and yet I've rarely seen the game played that way. I like Doop's plan because it gives us a win-win, and Doop's optimism is infectious.

bessie is reeeeeally not going to like being nudged into claiming like that

Addendum: Mak going full GenZ lingo in that last post has me totally crosseyed.

I just started a new job last Thursday, and over the weekend I completely forgot this game existed. I'm very sorry for my lack of content. I'm going to do a deep dive right now and make it up to all of you with a

At this point they pretty much have to claim every person they tried to target and every result they got or they're getting lynched.

That serves neither town nor scum, it's in their interests to play along.
