Also considering we've now (to the best of my knowledge) identified who's who for cards, with the exception of the death card, I think there's a high p

I have a feeling there is a connection between the three mysterious deaths we've encountered over the last several days. I don't think it's a death after "n" number of posts unless you can state it (which would make sense as it would make people cautious of speaking from the small chance of being offed after one too many posts). I think I've cracked it, and it has something to do with the final post.

We can rule out them quoting someone as ooglie didn't quote anybody in his final post. We can rule out a certain time of day, as they all posted at different times (and what would be the point in a power like that tbh). No, I think it's far worse.

And I've already hinted earlier to everyone what I think it is.

Did you know that world-renowned writer Stephen King was once hit by a car? Just something to consider.

The above is SCP-2293. It's a cognitohazard in the spookypasta SCP-verse. There are standard memetic cognitohazards like the one above, and then there are deadly ones. Ones which, if observed or said or thought of, can kill a man.

I used an online word counter which counts the number of times a word is said in a string of text. Starting with the final posts made by aqua and runemen, I copied the output word counts and used the word counter on the two combined to find a common link. If it was a trigger word that killed them like I suspect, then it had to be in that post and that post alone.

Using the same process on several of their previous posts from that day, I found that there was only a SINGLE word shared between each of their last posts, not used in any of the other posts they made that day.

Death

I'm guessing that now you're getting desperate. It kinda shows. Either you or Rune was scum and it's unlikely that scum would off themselves when they have a higher chance of winning at this point.

so VOTE ERIK

TL;DR: Mental exhaustion allows me to jump through hoops and I'd rather do this than analyse another GODDAMN SPREADSHEET OF LUMINOUS INTENSITY OF AN LED IN MICROWATTS.
this post is amazing in its absurdity, i commend you for a job well done

Sorry guys for my inactivity, I got really sick on wednesday night and just felt so cold so I layed down and fell asleep, then I had to leave early for work in the morning. I have one course I'm taking on thursdays and I left work to go there, but traffic was really bad and I just barely made it on time. By the time I got home yesterday I was exhausted and just went to sleep. Need to leave for work soon but will hopefully have time after work to catch up and make a post.

Dess Roobarb Pie what the hell is the difference between your roles again, and are any of you actually useful at this point?
That's the point I was making as to why I think roob may be mafia, but if he is he is doing some hell of a bussing tactic so I'm not sure anymore.

We have the exact same role unless either of us have hidden mechanics.

And yes we are kinda useless at this point unless we need to be lie detectors on roles such as in the case of Erik/rune

So, this makes it a bit hard for me, as you two are probably the people I trust the most, I am not going to be trying to get roob lynched any time soon, as if he is mafia, he is doing a hell of a good job killing them.

Righto, so this is a question mostly to you, with clarifying how your roles work, I am like 90% sure we must have another cop.

This is due to Mulberry's role:
Win Condition: Living Mafia players make up half or more of the living players without any possible threats
> Passive:
Alignment appears as town to any investigative roles
Has the final say on Mafia Night Kill

Unless this is only directed at foggy, we must have another cop, who has not outed themselves yet.
I find it weird if the mafia had a role like this, that would have an ability that "might be useful, one time, if foggy gets the right ability, and investigates the right person, and isnt lynched yet"

So who is our number one supeicoin after Erik? We might be like, talking to no on here, but I find it likely that we still have a cop (hi deadchat laughing at me if im wrong)

So this is a question to you Dess, amongst as others, who is our most supicious team member, and if Erik flips town, who is then our most supicious team member?

I'd be down for a Danni / TWG lynch.
I said this before but three people defended Notty; Notty herself, Ender and Danni.
Notty of course, was trying to stay alive
Ender was trying to get killed by clinging to the scummiest person alive at the time so that when Notty flipped mafia, he would be killed.
So Danni was basically the only person who was legitimately defending Notty without any other obvious motives, which is a bit weird. He has also been acting quite aggressively this game, but that could be how he normally plays.

I'd also be ok with TWG partially because he is the Moon, partially because I've found his posts a bit weird. Like, in my head, someone who is town would not be saying what he has said in the way that he has said it.

I'm going to be blunt with you guys now. I'm third party, I never stated that I was a townie. I originally thought that the aim of the townies was to eliminate ALL non-townie folk, so I just played along. Sorry for not being fully open with you lot before, I didn't understand the rules of this game and was scared of being lynched early game.

I have more than reason to believe that Dess is the townie cop. Considering that's two of three alignments with cops, it wouldn't surprise me if someone in play is a mafia role cop, seeing as mul and notty's card reveals said nothing about identity discovery IIRC.

That actually answers a question I had as to why you guys weren't going after each other as much, from your end anyway.
