We still don't know how many Mafia are left, but it should be the priority for townies, not lynching third-parties
Not lynching third-parties, such as the cult?
especially if we can assume that it was the Mafia who targeted Jolt.
If Caff is telling the truth, yes, lynching Jolt would be a bad decision.
...we should probably go back and look for those that were dead set on lynching third parties and wasting precious time rather than searching for mafia. We may well find some.
So all time spent on trying to find anyone but mafia is wasted time? I think not. Looks to me like you have nothing against the cult winning, either.
As for who to vote, my FoS at the moment is between 77 and Road. Unfortunately in my mind they're both cult, not mafia. Reasons are 77 had no reason for all these module shenanigans, and then crying that his cover was blown. And Road is quite heavily defending 77, plus some weirdness from yesterday implying that he's cult.
I personally believe that even if they might be against the town, they're not cult. Road gave a very clear sentence yesterday to be lie detected, I don't think he would've done it if he was lying there. 77... well, I hold no promise here, but there are other people in my mind for the place of the cult.
If I read correctly, he has basically claimed third-party with the ability to guarantee a kill every 5th night (4 prep, one kill, correct?).
You didn't read correctly, or I didn't. The way I understood it was that he had to warm up his ability for four nights and could start killing on either the fourth or the fifth (won't bother to check back for such fine detail right now).
i know JK is lying about win condition
How?
Ender and Sam could possibly claim as well
Can't speak for Sam, but my claiming would serve no purpose but to give the cult and the mafia more information which I'd rather not give them, as well as to clear me even further, which I don't find necessary right now. I seriously doubt my claim would spark useful discussion.
Whose to say anyone else hasn't been cultified, like Mad who we trust to be the lie detector, or ender whose been "not guilty" by Notty for days now but we know basically nothing else about.
I am not part of the cult or the mafia. Mia can detect that sentence if she wants, although I think there are better people to investigate than me.
I have a personal theory about this one: I feel like, based on what has occurred so far in terms of discussion, Digi's different death name, and from what road has said, I feel like Coolio actually WAS converted into the cult, and converted players end up showing their old alignment upon death, which would probably be a perk to keep the cult hidden? I don't know since there's not a lot to support this theory.
Interesting theory, I actually think you might be spot on with this. This could also mean that if Coolio was recruited into the cult, she also kept her place in the mafia, only switched alignments, like Alpha did in the Doomed Cruise (which was also a GmK game, might be worth to note). This would mean that people recruited into the cult keep their old roles.
You know why I'm suspicious of you JK and you can get me off your back real easy if you simply explained. It's mainly the fact that you're choosing to not even acknowledge that my current theory on you could be plausible for me with the information I have.
What theory? I've still not got a single clue as to why you think Jk suspicious.
Serial Killer has a much different win condition.
And your win condition would be...?
I'd like to propose the theory that Caff (and possibly Jk) is cult. As 77 said (in one of his more understandable posts lately), it is likely that the cult would have wanted to get their hands on the doctor. Assuming 77 is who he says he is and hasn't protected Caff from being recruited, it would make sense that she has been recruited. If 77 isn't who he says he is, then it'd still make sense. Also, note how Caff seems to favor lynching 77 (who has claimed an anti-cult role).
The reason I suspect both Caff and Jk is the fact that they both seem to favour lynching mafia over cult. Why? The cult is as big a threat to the town's victory as the mafia is (since I'm fairly sure the cult winning would mean loss to the town as well as the mafia). We've lynched two mafia, I think it's time we took out a cultist as well, if we could find one. I said earlier to be wary of anything Jk says about the cult, since he'd need them alive to have a better chance at winning. That was according to his old claim. What if he'd been recruited by the time he made that claim and only made it so he'd have some better reason to defend the 3Ps?
Another reason to suspect Jk is 77's ramblings about him. Not that they make much sense, sure, but assuming 77 is who he says he is, his distress towards Jk could be explained by him investigating Jk with his role ability and it saying Jk is cult.
Now, let's say for a moment that my guess about Caff was correct and she is a cultist. What would that make Jolt? She claims to have protected him and she also claims he was hit. If my theory about Caff is correct, the most logical conclusion would be that Jolt is the newest recruit of the cult, and the mafia tried to kill him, but Caff intercepted. I don't think Caff would waste her powers on someone she knew wasn't a part of her team, and if she's a cultist, then it'd mean Jolt is also a cultist.
Shaky theories at best, but I've said it and it's up to you to ponder about it.
As for mafia, they could be anyone. 77 could be mafia. Jolt could be mafia, anyone could. I don't see any particularly strong mafia-vibes coming off anyone, to be fair. My best bets to vote would still be 77 or Jolt.
