FF8 CANNIBAL MAFIA

Why am I still alive? Is it because LockeZ keeps protecting me, or is it because I'm not tasty enough useless without a "brother"? Anyway, let's review the other suspect from previous days.

I think it's safe to say that chana has double vote power. But whose side is she on? Let's look at her voting record. Getting rid of Despite Day 1 almost doesn't count. We were kinda lucky on that one (If one wishes to call it that), since that was before the ruling that that votes could not be changed when a majority was reached. She didn't get to vote for Tirhan, so no information there. She voted for the lynching of both Dudesoft and Gourd_Clae. No offense to chana, but I don't thinks she's crafty enough to have this voting record but actually be a cannibal. She's probably clear.

MrChearlie, MirrorMasq and LockeZ have all been suspected, but I forget the precise reasons why each were suspected.

After consulting Zeuzio to confirm, my understanding is that my protection would keep you safe from, say, a vigilante or a yakuza (both of which we've had) but not from the mafia's main nightly killing. You were the one person aside from CAVE_DOG who has been absolutely guaranteed to be a hero so I used my protection power on you twice. Considering there was a yakuza, this may have saved the day on night 2.

If my understanding of "harmful actions" is right then it should also protect the target from being framed if there's a framer, or from being role-blocked if there's a role-blocker, and so forth. So in retrospect I probably should have used it on myself on night 3 :/ Since the person I used it on got killed anyway. I'm not sure what other harmful powers still exist though.

LockeZ sounds innocent to me, so does Mirrormask, the 2 most suspicious, in my opinion, are MrChearlie, who hasn't said much throughout the whole game, imo, and RabitZ, of course, who, as LockeZ says could be pulling a very long one on us. With a remaining doubt as RabitZ's concerned, I think I can very safely say :
#Lynch MrChearlie

Also, to the "rabitZ has been lying" thingie:
I think the series of events has been too complex to lie about.
If I was lying I should have been spotted long time ago, but whatever.
I just hope we get a cannibal today!

If rabbitZ is pulling us for a long one, he's used a pretty brilliant strategy:

Day 2: Hey guys, I have indisputable evidence that Tirhan is a villain! Let's lynch him! I mean, Happy said that he'd likely be innocent if Despite was not a cannibal, but Tirhan was mighty suspicious, you know?

Day 3: Uh, sorry about that guys! I guess I have to be an insane cop that always messes up, or something? For what it's worth, I investigated Shinan, and he looks clean to me! Soooo... lynch 'em?

Day 4: Welp, I investigated LockeZ and he turned up a villain. What did you get, Shinan? Oh, same result! Let's get... oh, never mind.


Maybe I'm thinking too much, but with the role-reveal of Shinan on the rather elongated Day 3, it could be possible that rabbitZ and the framer worked in tandem to make LockeZ look like a villian on Day 4?

For what it's worth, I'm leaning toward lynching MrChearlie. He seems a more definitive cannibal than any of the other possibilities out there.

I think I put that in there more for flavor than anything else. I'm not going to look it up right this moment, that's for sure!

Oh, ok...

No, Marrend's point holds, because without having to say anything, If RabitZ wad admittedly a cop with a falsified investigative power, saying that he found Shinan innocent was equivalent to saying he was a cannibal!

I'm also unnerved by the delay of "today's" procedure. Perhaps I'm a bit paranoid, but I'm figuring the cannibals took their time making strategy while the heroes could do little more than twiddle their thumbs. Arguably, having debate and making strategy is something we should have done "yesterday", but my vote (Which ended up being the hammer vote with chana's double-vote power) kinda prevented that!

Do we really have only nine people left? Do nine men interpret? Nine men? I nod.

How much room do we have for mistakes? Let's see. If we lynch a civilian "today", and the cannibals have their dinner, we'd be down to five innocents out of a total of seven. If a similar thing happens the next "day", we'd be down to three innocents out of a total of five. After that, death and more death.

So I figure we can make at least one mistake, here. But we better know exactly who to lynch if the guy we send to the gallows is innocent!
