*yawn* It's almost time! Lets see who will die!
Gourd sighed. No-one was listening to him or his theories. It was all a bit disheartening really. He looked up as the group approached, a noose swinging from their hands.

"Gourd, we've talked it over and decided that this is probably the best outcome for town."

Gourd sighed again. Typical.

He didn't put up a fight as they threw the noose around his neck, nor say a word when the pulled it tight over a tree branch and raised him off the ground with their combined strength.

Gourd went quietly into that goodnight and it left a mark on those who'd pulled the rope.

"Damn, he really was town, wasn't he?" one of them whispered. The others fidgeted slightly, not looking at each other, then made their excuses and left the body strung up, gently swaying in the breeze.



GOURD_CLAE was lynched Day Phase 3. They were TOWN.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NIGHT PHASE HAS BEGUN!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



- NO talking in the thread til Day 4.
- POWER HOLDERS send me a PM with the name of the person you will be passing your power to.
- MAFIA let me know in mafia chat your target/s.

We will adjourn in 12-24 hours depending on the speed of the above.

All are doing their own thing when a scream rings out from across the town. Everyone rushes to the point of origin - the town clocktower. At the bottom of the tower lies the broken body of Crystal-Mint. From the looks of it, she's been pushed from the top of the building.

"Murder... Murder most foul!" one of the onlookers whispers as the others avert their eyes from the ghastly sight.


CRYSTAL-MINT has been killed during the Night. She was TOWN aligned.
------------------------------------------------------------------
DAY PHASE 4 BEGINS
------------------------------------------------------------------

48 hours til day phase ends.

Well, I'm sorry Gourd. I was 99.9% sure of myself when I voted you as Mafia.

I understand that I have been set up to take the fall for this. By Kloe. Who decided to turn this into a Gourd VS Maki vote affair at the last minute during the previous day phase. (an action I find suspicious)

I will be upfront and honest about my moves from yesterday:

I gave the null-vote to Joroen.
I had the double-vote from Crystal and used it to vote for Gourd and Kloe.


There's five of us left. Today is important. If there are two more mafia members, we lose tonight if we hang a townie. If there's one mafia left, then we have some leeway, but not much. We need to be smart today.

Theory wise, I don't have much. Either Kloe and piano were working together, forced the tirade to make her look innocent, and then pulled the 'Maki VS Gourd' tactic to try to force me to take the fall for Gourd's innocence OR;

Someone is pulling our strings very carefully.
Interestingly enough, Crystal is the first Mafia kill that wouldn't count as 'experienced' from this forum's PoV compared to their other kills. I actually suspected it would be Joroen to be killed by Mafia last night. As far as I know, Joroen is experienced and also doesn't have much suspicion currently on them compared to the rest of us.

This could be for one of three reasons - piano was the one who was encouraging picking off the experienced players and whoever is left isn't following that trend/doesn't know who counts as experienced and who doesn't.

All remaining mafia accounts for all remaining experienced players.

Or Crystal was becoming a threat.

I'm going to read over Crystal's posts from yesterday after I sleep and see if anything can be gleaned from them.

Ah there could be a reason four - That Crystal was one of the few remaining people who has never been accused for anything. Keeping people who have been accused around (YM, RABBIT, and myself especially) makes the most sense. I can't recall Joroen being called out for much either, not in comparison, though.

--

This is the best I can figure the votes went:
Ballot Counts
Gourd: 4 ballots (Makio, Joroen, YM, Crystal)
MakioKuta: 1 ballots (Kloe, Gourd)
Yellow Magic: 1 ballots (oddRABBIT)
Kloe: 1 ballots (Maki)

Obviously most of that is speculation.

On that note, I'll be going to bed here pretty soon.

I'm at work right now so I can't write much but I just want to sincerely apologise for my shitty playing this time round...:(

What I can also say is thinking about it, there's no reason anyone should be exempt from being Mafia at this point, given that both Mafia and Townies can have the powers that are being passed around

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

Well, shit.

I voted for Gourd and nulled him too.
I'd blame this on the fact that I'm always asleep during the final hours of the days, but if I'm honest, I don't think I would have changed my mind if I had been awake. I fucked up bad.

I think it may be a combination of these two reasons. Maybe scum decided to break the trend of killing off "experienced" players, and then decided to kill CrystalMint because she had no heat on her.


Something also hit me this night. I'd always been operating on the assumption of a three-man scum team. This is also the reason why I thought Makio passing the Null vote to me proved her innocence. I didn't think scum would pass the Null vote to a townie.
Based on the number of players, I still think a three-man scumteam is very likely, but I realized that none of the modkilled players ever had their alignment revealed. Maybe fearful or aetherrevival was scum? Then there would be only one scum left, and they would have to pass their powers on to townies.
The final hours of the last day just made me even more sure it was Gourd. :/ It wasn't until I went to sleep that I starting thinking 'what if gourd is townie and that was all a really elaborate play?' So yeah... This was a big mistake on all our parts.

That's an interesting point about the mod-kills. Now I am very curious what their alignments were. Hopefully Libby will be willing to divulge that information for us. I just figured the lack of saying anything meant that they were town, but that's a baseless assumption.

Looking at who is left, I really don't know where to go from here. RABBIT still feels like a wrong choice; piano targeting RABBIT and bringing it so close to piano and RABBIT hanging on the same night feels way too risky a play for them to both be mafia.

I still want to believe that Joroen is townie, but the thought did cross my mind that they might be shadow puppetting this whole thing.

Kloe........ I don't even know what to think about her anymore. YM could go either way at this point. idk And I can already hear Kloe reiterating her words from yesterday about me.

Any clear thoughts at the moment, Joroen? My mind is a muddled mess.

I get home school and see Crystal dead... :'(
I was thinking I'd die, but as Maki said, it was likely Jeroen would've died.
I did vote Maki, I think she is the mafia, but hmm... She has a point with the whole "Someone is pulling our strings very carefully" thing.
I don't know, but thought that yesterday, not today. Today I again believe it's Maki, I can't think of anyone else who could be Mafia.
I like Jeroen's "Mafia 3 may have already died" theory, it fills me with less worry about us losing, because it means we might only need one more correct lynch.
"What I can also say is thinking about it, there's no reason anyone should be exempt from being Mafia at this point", Couldn't agree more YM, that is very true. Just because the null and the double have both passed through Maki's hands does not in any way make her innocent. If she is the only Mafia left she cannot pass it to anyone BUT a town, which disproves Jeroen's theory by his OTHER theory.

I knew if I didn't die last night you'd think it was me, and honestly, how can I counter that thought? I know it isn't me, but you don't, so what I'll say now is important, DON'T LET THEM MAKE YOU THINK THAT, I am not a Mafia and am no killer, except to Mafia people.

Why Crystal would die, I don't know but really, it could have been random, as Maki said, they aren't sticking to their previous reasonings, maybe we can't catch them this way. Sorry Maki, I still think it's you, I may be idiotically wrong, and id so I am so so sorry, and that just helps the Mafia, but I think it's at least likely to be you.

Sorry for writing basically an essay, which should be entitled "It's not me, I think it's Maki" but I feel this is important for me to say so we can rid this town of evil mafia guys who kill!
And one last thing, Maki, if it is you, Kloe will kill you with her own two hands, mark my words. Gourd and Crystal were my two friends, the two I trusted (and odd) and now they're dead. If it was you, your days are numbered!!

No, it wouldn't have been smart for them to kill off you or me. Keeping you around to keep the heat on me and convince town to hang me only makes sense and keeping me around to take that fall is a pretty obvious plan.

It makes more sense that they'd take out someone like Crystal than either of us.

It's at least likely to be ANY of us. Always has been.

What do you mean by this, by the way?

I'm probably just an idiot, because I don't understand.


Also, I'm here for a limited time, as I'm at school.

I guess you're right, really. I don't trust you, and you're still my prime suspect, but I think we shouldn't let them make us try to destroy each-other while they get away with it.
What now everyone? Who do we question, who do we ask, what do we need to know? (other than who is murdering everyone)
I think she's saying "I'm not mafia, and I don't kill people unless they are Mafia."

oddRABBIT, were you the one vote Yellow Magic? Do you mind explaining why?

At the moment you're at the top of the 'probably trustworthy' list for reasons I stated above, so I'd be very interested in hearing your reasons if that was your vote. And also your thoughts on matters as they stand right now.

(Um... Ninjad) and I think I meant that to mean I am being as a pawn to distract Maki and everyone else, while the killer gets away with it.

(Dang it, ninja'd AGAIN)
Yes, I might of meant that, but that works too as what I meant, god I must have the memory of a goldfish.

Yup, odd is definitely the most trustworthy, except yourself (I don't mean Maki, I mean YOURself) because YOU are the only person you know is a town-person!

Ah, I voted YM as Mafia near the beginning of Day 3, as I was convinced that YM was a mafia, mostly due to the speculation surrounding him.

Though, I wasn't quite caught up, so the "speculation" part could be wrong. I believe that is correct though.
oddRABBIT

If you are confused by that "speculation" statement, I mean that I could be remembering where the "speculation" was.

Wrong.

Sorry, forgot to correct part of the previous post. I meant remembering where the "speculation" was could be wrong.

I feel sorry that you can't play because of school, thankfully due to timezones, school doesn't matter too much for me.
Yeah, I might be wrong but YM just doesn't scream Mafia to me, even though her avatar sorta creeps me out a bit, but then again so does yours AND piano's!

I was convinced 99.999% that it was Maki, today though, even though I still think it's her, I'm no where near as sure, your guess is as good as mine to who the Mafia is.
And this is just a theory, but each of Libby's day phase end posts say 12-24 hours depending on the speed of the above, and it's usually been closer to 24, it may be a coincidence or another reason, but does this mean someone who isn't avaliable much is the Mafia?
Mod killed alignments won't be revealed.
The night phase count is me needing sleep and forgetting about doing it early. Or is it? Who knows?

I know, I'm not being helpful. Welp~ :D
