Mystery Mafia -- Game Thread

JD says he targeted Suburban Plankton Night 5. Did you target SP as well? Don’t you become your target’s target or something? Because it sounds like you got SP’s role (since he’s our claimed tracker).

We have had players claim to know they were blocked so it’s possible you would have gotten a message that you were blocked. Also, according to Pizza’s role description, it doesn’t seem like you would have been prevented from performing your action. The other option would be some kind of redirection.

Suburban plankton has seen others diverted i belive (courtesy of peeker if I remeber) so he should know if JD visited me or if he was diverted.

I recived a role PM the night he claims to have targeted special ed - N2 except it was the apothecarys role. Special Ed claims to be the town efficiency expert

You are correct; you claimed to watch NAF, not J.D. (Post 5164). I marked it down wrong in my notes.

Still catching up, but I’ll post this now:

My information indicates that J.D. was blocked last Night. I was told that he started to go somewhere, then changed his mind and did nothing.

I received a PM on Night 5 with my correct role (Town Tracker). Which seems to be the same PM you received, on the same Night.

Maybe there is a version of this role that sends the role to the wrong person while JD sends it to the right person.

well I am glad I got my post out before this…I am so dumb.

I think we *should *lynch Episkey, because all evidence points to him being Scum.

The problem is that assuming he does flip Scum, we won’t know if he’s telling the truth about his target, so we won’t know if the information Silver Jan received is from Episkey (and therefore false) or from Scuba_Ben (and therefore true).

If Episkey flips Town, then presumably he is telling the truth, and assuming his role is what we think it is, that would make you Scum.

But we’ll know more (hopefully) come Dusk.

vote: Episkey

About lilflower: presumably Episkey targeted one of Silver Jan/Septimus and Scuba Ben the other. If Septimus and Jan are both telling the truth about their respective PMs (and Episkey is scum), then the only conclusion is lilflower is town.

Episkey sends out false scum message.
Ben sends out correct town message.

Things only get interesting if one is lying.

I’m exhausted right now, but I should be around tomorrow.

I’ve missed some of these. My notes are way out of date; I borrowed lilflower’s but apparently missed much.

In addition to the role PMs generated by your power, there have been several others.
For example, lilflower’s notes show Normal Phase receiving a roleblocker PM (also missing from my own notes :smack: ).

My targets have been:
N0: MykBot (Now LighterFeet)
N1: bufftabby
N2: septimus
N3: Precambrianmollusc
N4: LightFoot 1.0

Besides the warm glow, Tracker PM, and “lilflower is scum” my only PM’s have been “no result.” (Some Night actions didn’t even result in “no result” – I don’t know if the distinction is meaningful.)

That’s now a complete info dump from me except for my N5 and N6 targets. We still have 2 or 3 players (DonkTimesFour, lilflower, perhaps Normal Phase) who’ve shared little so I’d like to delay my reveal if that makes it harder for them to fashion lies.

Of those 3 players, probably 2 are Scum and 1 the Town Doctor, so the Doctor’s identity is now, I fear, secret only from Town not Scum.

vote episkey

JD, you should have gotten a PM about yourself again, since I targeted you. If you didn’t, something else is at play. Is that how you figured out you were blocked?

no..i dont want to cross the PM line, but it basically said I was roleblocked and poisoned.

Nothing that would seem anything happened other than being blocked.

What is bugging me is that as far as I know - both Scuba and Episky tell their target about the alignment (correctly or otherwise) of another random target. If there is some evidence that either player gets to chose who the target of the alignment reveal/lie is I may have missed it.
If I am correct in the assumption that the peek is on a random target then I find the fact that Lilflower was the target of two random peeks to be horribly convenient. If it isn’t chance then either Septimus or Jan are lying about receiving a peek on Lilflower to cover for Episky. Obviously that would be the second person to reveal that they received a whisper/peek on Lilflower. I can;t search back but I think it was Septimus.

Given we had a town follower and a scum follower, Septimus is very similar in role to peeker which doesn’t play well for Septimus based on some random theory about scum/town symmetry. Yes I am aware there has, as yet, not been a scum watcher found.

Has SJ been semi cleared as town yet. The only reasons I can think that SJ is possibly town is that she was a target on N1 when both we and scum were not sure of our powers. So that gives SJ (in my view for what that is worth) a slight town lean as I think it less likely that scum would have targeted town N1.

So obviosuly
vote episky

with a big 'ol stinky FOS at Septimus
unless of course both whispers on lilflower were a massive coincidence

Septimus FOS= finger of suspicion - nothing offensive

JD

You targeted me last night correct? - and were seen by Suburban going to your target and turning around.
and I got a no apparent result watching NAF.

Choices

  1. You were blocked or sent home.
  2. I was a target of some sort of blocking role which truned you around. However if I were blocked that would need another roleblocker/protector to explain NAF lack of doubling from Special Ed and his warm glow. And it would not explain why I received a role PM for the town efficiency expert. If I was being blocked/protected/immobilized then I assume I should not have received anything.

so I guess you were distracted/blocked.

buggered if I can work out why I received PMs for other peoples roles twice.

Then again if you are the psychologist - and as I understand what you said about yourself - you tell the target their role, and were blocked so if the role PM I received is because of you, how the hell did I get the role PM if you were blocked?!?!?!??

Short of another scum role that whispers to targets a random role PM with their name but wrong PM.

Option c is you are lying but NAF said you were town and NAF visited Zerial (I saw him) which obviously clears you.

No offense taken.

My flip-flopping today has me looking like a left-winger, if not an actual Scum. :o

Did you mean that Scum were less likely to target Scum on N1?

IMO scum would not target themselves if they dont know their powers. Wouldnt want to vig a fellow teammate…

Yes, I am saying I got blocked.

I have been uber-lazy this game, but need to take a look at who targetted me.

Def do not like D4’s vote with no substance.
