Mystery Mafia -- Game Thread

I am a villager and if anyone wants me to ask me anything then fire away.

To put emphasis on this…have any of my targets gotten a PM that they were blocked that Night? Scathach, did YOU get a PM that you were blocked?

It couldn’t have been me, so if Scat got that in a PM, it had to have been LighterFeet. And since Jan blocked lilflower and is Town, we’ve likely caught the Scum blocker. If we get this right toDay, we get rid of what might be the most valuable remaining Scum role!

Yeah, my pm indicated that I was stopped from using my action.

I only ever received the response that my action had no apparent result. So I was going by what my targets claimed and by what I got in a PM when I targeted myself.

I agree. Episkey, although a scum who lied, claimed he was blocked on Night 5 so given Jan’s reveal, that could be true (especially since no one reported getting a scum message that Night).

Mine, too.

The only problem with this theory is Night 1. Jan says she targeted Ed, but Ed was apparently successful that Night, as he targeted Scuba_Ben whose power was doubled for the following Night. Is Jan is a Roleblocker, then she herself must have been blocked or redirected that Night.

We don’t know who peeker targeted Night 1 so there is a slim chance that he targeted Jan thus redirecting her onto himself.

Looking back at Jan’s other claimed targets, on Night 2, she claimed to have targeted Lightfoot I but he did not claim to be blocked.

Otherwise, everyone she targeted has claimed to have been blocked.

There seems to be a presumption that **Scathach **is the Apothecary. Why exactly is this?

From my notes, Scathach has given us the following information:

Targeted DanceCat Night 1 (no apparent result)
Targeted
special ed
Night 2, (no apparent result)
Targeted** Drain Bead **Night 4 (Drain was cued of poison)
Targeted J.D. Night 7, but was blocked (J.D. died from poison)

Other than the fact that Scathach says he targeted Drain on the Night she was cured, is there any direct evidence supporting the fact that he is the Apothecary?

**Giraffe **also claims to have targeted Drain that same Night. Of course, Giraffe also targeted himself on Night 3, and was apparently told that he “seemed to be headed in the right direction”, which doesn’t seem consistent with being the Apothecary.

On that note, Giraffe, do you have any more clue now as to your role?

But NAF1138 also targeted Ed Night 1 and (since NAF1138 targeted Peekercpa on Night 0) acted as Lightning Rod, diverting Jan’s block to himself. (NAF1138 reported “protected” rather than “blocked” that Night – perhaps he was also targeted by Sangaman the Wolf Doctor.)

Remaining Wolves probably include an imposter (Drain Bead or Scathach?) and at least one of the two players reluctant to reveal targets. I prefer

… but will happily switch to LighterFeet if that’s the way the wagon bands.

Hi again from Switzerland. I haven’t had much time to spend online, in part because the Alps are frickin’ gorgeous. So we spend all our time hiking, eating, and drinking instead of Internetting. All in all, not a bad way to spend one’s time.

So I wasn’t able to submit a target last Night, getting randed to lilflower instead. Someone said J.D. was confirmed Town, can anyone point me to where / summarize why? He was giving me a scummy vibe, so I can’t say I’d have saved him even if I’d been online (and assuming I’m the apothecary, which I may not be) but it would be nice to see the case.

I’ll try to quickly catch up, but I was pleased to see Episkey was sending out false messages instead of paranoid or naive ones. Knowing this, can we deduce another Wolf? We know a lot about the other message sending roles, so an “X is Town” message may have only an “X is scum” explanation.

P.S. Still no idea what my role is. Targeted myself the Night before last to see if I got the message about being on the right track again, but nothing.

But Silver Jan targeted him, who does seem to be a roleblocker (and town). Something doesn’t fit, even if I’m not sure it’s you.

Your town cred for me doesn’t come from your votes on scum (seriously, Drain? You’re an consummate busser) but from your reaction to Blaster’s lynch. It was an emotional reaction and looked genuine.

Okay, first. Two people DID screw up that royally, if you can be believed, Silver Jan being the other and roleblocking lilflower. Given that, three is not out of the question on its face. The issue is not that, but the claim of roleblocking, which you can’t have done yourself, coupled with PCM saying Lightfoot was there. That pretty much makes her the roleblocker, and the town version of that role would already seem to be filled.

So that much is uninteresting.

After that, or if that is wrong – Donk and Giraffe (only other two not to have revealed targets I think) would be easy but also uninteresting. So I kinda hope it’s not the case and at least one of you role-knowing type of people is lying out the wazoo somewhere. More fun that way.

vote: Lightfoot

NAF (as Zeriel) targeted JD on Night 6 and got a town result.

If giraffe really thinks he is an apothecary - why didnt I see him target JD - JD was confirmed town and Giraffe didnt help out - pretty much makes Giraffe scum in my book.

Well, he said he’s in Switzerland and didn’t get online in time to turn in a target, so he got randed.

Hmm . . . I seem to be a very popular “random” target.

I targeted special ed and Idle Thoughts and the next morning they “felt healthy.”

(Also, I’m a she.)

When did you target Idle? And who did you target the other Nights?

I’ve been debating claiming this for a while, but at this point there’s probably enough information for scum to figure this out, but not for town.

I am the apothecary. When AskThePizzaGuy died, I became the poisoner and the apothecary on alternate nights. I received a PM to this effect on that night. The new powers allow me to retract my use of poisoning the next night if I wish, rather than targeting the same person as such.

So, I targeted DrainBead, because I’d been finding her scummy in a way I couldn’t really define. Then the next day, everyone seemed to take it as a given that she should be healed, so I figured my scumdar was just crap, and healed her.

The next night, I was in a rush and couldn’t decide, so I targeted J.D. because a few people had been saying he was next on their scum list, and really I didn’t have any good reads myself. Next morning NAF confirmed JD as town, I tried to heal him last night and was blocked. So, yeah. Sorry about that :frowning:

Really the only thing I’ve managed to do so far is deliberately not heal Brewha.

Anyway - pick a target for me to poison tonight and I will choose from the best case. The most likely probability is that I get blocked/killed tonight, but honestly, given my record, that might be best for town.
