If it comes down to it, I will vote Notty but I'd still prefer a choco lynch today
It's really up to you though, both lynches have sufficient support to go through so you don't have to hammer me just to hammer me because the Choco lynch is just as likely to happen. Pretty sure its 9/11 on me and 8/11 on Choco

But they weren't. They were both the alignment you would expect?

You are literally talking in hypotheticals and disregarding the theory because of it.

You sir are a retard... also stop disliking my posts reeeeeeee my internet points reeeeeeeee
fuck off

i said that a godfather role would work thematically with the emperor card as its game-flavour namesake. the emperor is literally associated with fathering, emphasising structure, exercising authority and regulating. my hermit comparison doesn't work as well in hindsight but my point still stands. you can't extrapolate alignment from a card name, because the card name could have a large number of roles that work with it thematically. What you can do is take a roleclaim and look at the claimed card and make an observation on how well the two actually correlate.

I believe it to be very well linked to my card. In my personal perspective it's all about oncoming sudden change (good/bad/whatever we talked about that day0), which perfectly represents in my role warning/talking about change(events). Maybe I've read myself into those particular interpretations because I know thats what my role is but even from an outside perspective I still see it as my card and role being closely linked.
ok this is actually kinda killing me cause my suspicions are easier to discuss with than the people my current views align with, but here goes. i disagree here completely cause in every description i've read, the tower is the change. see:

going through sudden change (being in chaos), releasing (exploding, erupting in anger), falling down, having a revelation

The Tower is one of the only cards in the deck that has energy that always belongs in the moment. While most cards confine their energy to the position in which they land, The Tower is about the here and now no matter where it falls in the Tarot spread.

Disaster, upheaval, sudden change, revelation

When The Tower appears in a reading sudden change is coming and there is no way to avoid it. This change could be quite brutal, unexpected and destructive. Change is forced upon you now whether you want it or not, although like in the Death card, this change is often sought on a Subconscious or Universe level. i hadn't found this particular site before writing this post and the 'unavoidable' part kind of cements my point, at least fmpov. going back through the others i can see some references to the same thing now that i'm looking for it (eg 'outside your control')

Can we all vote me?

I'm actually sick of you people and think town deserves to lose.
As I said I'm the High Priestess. I'm a Town role. Lynching me if you don't trust me I guess... there's nothing I can do anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Whatever, from now on I'll just follow Aqua.

Kinda done here tbh.
ok what the fuck lol

ok jivvi but even if you disagree about alignment the tower's role could not be a town role especially something as non-canonical as I can tell when certain night actions occur.

You could try and answer my question about how a massclaim(which you've said to support) would lower the amount of suspects(which you said it would). After all as an avid supporter of card = alignment I'd love to know what you think. And yes I get it I'm pushing on this massclaim bit too hard(even though I've never gotten an actual answer) but this is Mafia and when you have an opinion (such as supporting a massclaim) you should be willing to explain to us how and why.

hello yes thats literally why im voting notty
Have you considered not voting me? It's a good diet.

But for example I still think that the cop has an innocent report on me right now and is just sitting here hoping I'm not being murdered. He has to wait till atleast tomorrow because simply claiming right now with 1 inno report is not really worth it. Why not give them the night(and giving me another night to get events) so they could claim my innocence tomorrow? I know you're scared of an arsonist but with 2 nightkills an arsonist should be extremely unlikely(I mean last game One blowing up 4 people was pretty unbalanced in my opinion).

i don't like this assumption cause as i think somebody already mentioned (oog's diagram maybe? idk) that the cop likely would have avoided you, inf and probably aqua cause you would have been the most popular target choice and a cop would want to avoid being tracked/watched by a mafia role or having their result made useless by their target getting killed.

I know you're scared of an arsonist but with 2 nightkills an arsonist should be extremely unlikely
this is kind of disproving my own point but the kill count probably can't be considered fact tonight since smart vigilantes nk on the first night (having a day 0 sort of changes that rule but it still would have been quite a tossup) and there is also almost definitely at least one protective or blocking role, considering that those are two of the most fundamental role types. anywho, traditionally arsonists are 'balanced' by the fact that they don't sit in on mafia meetings so i think the idea is that they take out a few townies and likely a mafia. alternatively, in a game with a pretty high player count, a powerful killing role like the arsonist may be one way of balancing the game without having an absurdly large mafia team.



Wait, roob, how does your role work again? You investigate cards to see what the alignment is?
if this is how his role works that pretty much disproves 'bad cards = mafia', although tbf it was already a flawed idea.
