However, given that Ooglie somehow didn't investigate me last night and inspected velz...Ooglie and Erik have been dividing their actions up perfectly. Erik was sent to try to interrogate me, and Ooglie wanted to test his alleged cop claim...A real cop would have investigated me for being a complete unknown since I'm a replacement, not waste an entire night action visiting someone already confirmed.
why would a 'real cop' have investigated you :thinking:
how was testing my sanity a waste of a night action
there was no confirmation whether my result on jivvi was due to me being an insane cop (since digi's innocent result ruled out paranoid) or by the act of a target redirector
target redirector was unlikely in my eyes since why would they have swapped jivvi & some random mafia member that night, but still seeing how all roles from this game have been pulled from previous games and there was no insane cop in existence (at least from what i've looked at) it was still the more possible scenario from the two (although i did believe insane more than redirect), so testing velz who mafia had no reason to swap (especially since erik said that you were hoping i investigated you from your night chat so you were theoretically unaware of my action) confirmed to me that i'm an insane cop and hence digi and whoever i get innocent from now on are mafia
alternatively i could have investigated you, got innocent presumably and still have no idea whether that was a truthful result or a result from insanity and have no confirmation for the rest of the nights (although i assume im dead tonight, and so all town would have is that i got mafia on jivvi and innocent on digi & yourself and no confirmation on what to do with the information)
or atleast that was my logic
----
Both Ooglie and Erik are playing from the perspective of what's best for them, not what's best for the town. Erik in particular framed our conversation as a 'I win no matter what you choose', and that screams cult.
how am i playing from that perspective
also how did erik's conversation sound like that
----
I still trust Oog’s cop claim to some extent, so I don’t think he went and converted anyone, just took a chance; and yet, the fact that he still felt the need to test it on Velz is a very good point, and is... The more I think about it, it really is odd.
see above! also thank you even though you're a filthy communist scum (although i do believe you're more town than yesterday i'll say why when i'm done with responding to all thesw quotes)
----
Speaking of Oog, he investigated Digi once and said here she came up as town; considering Oog presumably is an Insane Cop, that means Digi might be mafia. But she claims to be a Town Ghoul as well, and if I remember correctly, it’s been mentioned at some point that in its original game it would come up as its opposite alignment in cop investigations. That’s another minefield we’ve kind of been ignoring for a while, and should put into more consideration.
uhhh i don't remember this ever being mentioned but i haven't particularly looked at the role in it's original game so i'll do that now:
ok so from pirates vs cowboys final role description is:
'The road to ruin[Ghoul, hides behind one person each night]'
that doesn't say anything anything about alignment swapping on cop reports but
Alpha102 you were priz's cohost (i think) so i don't know if you remember (even though you might LIE to help your mafia buddo)
----
Ooglie101 , in regards to how Alphy shouldn’t be getting the number of her rolls, I apparently should only be able to kill if I die in the day or something as well, so I consider it believable that our hosts did indeed alter some of the roles from their original ability. It’s not impossible.
in my mind the alterations to your role (admittedly i thought it was just daykills + lynches this game but apparently nightkills are included too) are from fog's interpretation of priz's role (along with jivvi being fog's interpretation of gmk's vampire role) whereas pharmacist is literally his own role so i don't see why he would suddenly handle it differently
----
And since we're five days in...somebody is close to a majority. We need to figure out the most likely cult leader and lynch them today, hopefully that disables recruitment if I remember my cult mechanics correctly.
how handy freaky is the most likely cult leader then (although getting freaky lynched is probably my primary wincon (simply to have strongest cult at end of game), i think this is a (confusing not exactly mathematical!) mylo right now so i'd rather lynch a potential mafia)
as for why freaky is most likely:
-freaky tried to convert erik (already a mason) and as a result erik was told freaky was the cult leader (so thats confirmed in my eyes)
-hk (communist) gave gun for literally 0 good reason to freaky (communist leader)
as for why i am less likely:
-why would i fake claim cop for 0 good reason and put myself in spotlight just to get jivvi lynched (who was not even a communist)
----
He's also been calling the shots when it comes to voting as well as telling people who to shoot.
what how
i literally wanted you lynched yesterday
nobody listened and hk was lynched
and shooting fali made literally the most sense but since she's freaky's communist disciple of course freaky wouldn't shoot!
----
That's an unusual way of doing it.
Some games have had cults as their own independent factions that win at the expense of other factions. Infact I think that's usually how it works.
Considering it's better to not take any chances, I'm going to act as if it's the latter, if only to prevent a 'gotcha' style of win.
the mafia chooses to try and lynch town members within a cult under the guise of 'its so they dont win!!!' to allow the mafia themselves to win how classic
----
To put it simply, whereas some people are useless unless dead, I'm straight out useless once I claim. I am the Journalist. There's no lie detector in my role whatsoever. I get to pick somebody during the day, visit them at night, and then get a night chat with them. From there, every night I get to write 100 words in a journal that's released to the town upon my death.
btw erik has been claiming journalist since when i was converted so i think it's very likely (also he argued that caff should have actually claimed mafia within the mason chat when she was recruited and that it was stupid that she didn't, so given that erik didn't do that himself if he is supposedly mafia i do think he is actually town (also general behaviour))
----
n1: aqua no cult
n2: caff mason
n3: ender mason
n4: digi no cult
n5: erik no cult
why are you spreading these lies (literally i have no idea i'll get to this after responding to quotes and stuff since idk if anyone's said it yet already either)
----
I believe Ooglie to be a cult leader and at this stage in the game his alleged cop results have been all over the place and too unreliable to be useful at all, and I believe he made up the insane cop as it's been said it's not in any other game.
again if i was cult leader why would i
a) claim cop
b) make up stupid results
c) be the one who was the first to say that no insane cop had been in any other game, and then proceed to go and say i'm probably an insane cop (which still makes no sense unless i'm missing a game but i swear it's 99% gonna be that the 'mad information agent' from scp was interpreted as 'insane cop' when its actually a paranoid cop)
like IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE
'you did this stuff so you could use this argument'
i mean i'll hit you again btw but also i think the benefits of being able to use this argument do not outweigh the many risks that came with supposedly fake claiming cop as cult leader for 0 reason
----
I'll keep my vote on Ooglie for now since he has a definite connection with Erik
yes we're cult members i still have no idea why you're calling me a cult leader
----
several key things i will elaborate on when i get back from work, but should probably mention before alpha gets any more flustered
-77th is full of shit and is maf but we shouldn't lynch him yet
-i'm like 99% sure that fali and alpha are the remaining communists after watching this blitz they cooked up between them, but i will admit that this is based on my first impression and could be entirely wrong
-that does not include freaky, who, to the best of my knowledge, is the communist leader (hence why hk gave her the gun)
-i'm the mason leader ama (yes we're third party, but all recruited members keep their previous ability, as well as their previous win con as a secondary win con, in case the new main one doesn't work out)
-since all recruits with the exception of caff have been town, we have adopted a decidedly pro-town view on the game, since it's in our best interests due to the secondary wincons of our members
-other members may reveal themselves at will
i'll respond to everything 1 by 1
a) yeah
b) fali definitely likely, alpha makes sense but i haven't really thought of who their new member is
c) ya
d) ya
e) ya
f) hi its me
----
okay in that case. I honestly didnt know what you guys wanted me to do lmao
erik is mason
I am mason as of last night
everything else I said was the truth
lies and slander
----
Also, why recruit Caff to The Masons in the first place when Ooglie felt uncomfortable or at least sceptical with his reading of her. Something doesn't seem right there.
mood but ender doesn't tell us who he's going to recruit
also if anyone is wondering for all the times i said 'remaining mafia are probably alpha, fali, digi and/or caff as a fourth possibility' yesterday i was really meaning 'alpha fali digi and caff' but obviously i also had to worry about keeping cult members alive but yeah i was pretty sure caff was mafia the entire time even though she claimed town in mason chat the night before (btw she claimed soothsayer if anyone is interested)
----
So, what is the purpose of having a Cult Detective that can only investigate who is part of who's cult - only then to be initiated with The Masons.
since he is a filthy liar in both role and the fact he was supposedly recruited into masons last night
----
Another issue that I have is, and I'd like for this to be clarified,
77thShad are you The Cult Cop or Technician. I can't seem to find your role in the archives.
technician from anvil base iirc
----
I thought it was suspicious that Erik claimed Lie Detector, given the fact that Danni had already died as one. To summarise:
- Two lie detectors in one game, but Erik has the night ability to have a conversation with someone. Based on the same mechanics as Danni's, he is then able detect whether a statement is false or not.
- From that conversation he has the power to relay information to The Masons, and no one has questioned it?
- And let's not forget the blind trust he had in Caff being town.
he already admitted to be lying about lie detector and being journalist
on the erik front i'll say this:
i have no idea why he claimed lie detector night chat thing and then proceeded to clear ender me and caff as town when we were under no suspicion at the time and he was under no pressure to claim
it's literally just MADE A MESS which is minorly frustrating but i still vibe him as town and it wasnt really a mafia thing to do, more of an eager cult member but yeah
----
i'll make a separate post on why i maybe think fali could possibly be town (but still have doubts) and why 77's thing is weird and how i am so conflicted in my reads right now since NOTHING IS ADDING UP IN MY HEAD
(also
Nottykitten are you happy i was originally gonna just mass multiquote but i decided to format it nicely like you told me to last game/whatever game it was <3)
