End of Night 5/Start of Day 6
The party of nine from where they had entered in the night comes out to a party of seven, all of them looking as two more of their numbers have vanished. And so like every night prior, the two missing are revealed.



The first is revealed as Reisen Inaba, Moon Rabbit on Earth (@Shalmoa), who 'died' from a Knock on the Head.



The second is revealed as Alice Margatroid, Seven-Colored Puppet Master (@dinomannitro6), who 'died' from being Knocked Out In A Closet.

And a message is left upon the table to read.

Reevals needed on Walker's flip
Everyone needs progressions now IMO
Hobo's vote NAI even if late due to self-pres
Other votes probably won't get good info at this point
Not sure if absences are notable right now (Dino/Comi, YP to a lesser extent)
Figure one more affordable miss ATM but needs serious discussion given game length
Probably makes it a good spot to fill out claim space
Wiadi, Comi, Atoms are the only unclaimed ATM
Atoms can clear with N5 Town kill, Wiadi/Comi mech-locked out of Odd-Night TKP

And so the seven members of the party begin the sixth day…

End of Day is at

So we end up at yet another crossroads, Hermit and Wiadi for this phase's vote. Hermit Proposes a three player scum team of Wiadi/Rosen/IH, which just so happens to then vote for Hermit, there is some clear support for that world. Thus I should clearly follow through with holding to my Wiadi elimination. Any other movement is death by granting scum control of the vote.
Yet then I have to weigh the various options of if I really believe in 5 scum game, it isn't unreasonable but the only night that looks like it even remotely could suggest scum requiring more than 4 players at start is night 3, and there are certainly questions there. On the Hermit side we have an unproven claim of Vigilante, a brave claim from scum especially newbie scum, but held the shot night 2, and night 4 was roleblocked the same night confirmed town Shalmoa was, who scum resulted in having Atoms eliminate for them last night. Which is just straight up an indication of scum chosing to seemingly use a double roleblock on shalmoa and Hermit when they could've just redirected a truthful Hermit. It seems farfetched with a confirmed redirection from Atoms that the double roleblock was real when byzantine's cheers could've basically fallen anywhere and we can't quite know where. Thus I have to make a vote on hermit
[X] Vote A Wise Hermit
Yet that could've simply been a scum plan, to make Hermit unconfirmed, or is it scum wine, so lets look at the only hermit scum ally I can 100% fathom right now YP, YP could've confirmed IH truthful or not by watching them to find a Roleblock, but they didn't they went to a soon to be dead body. Seems almost intentional, having confidence in roleblocks on the claimed Gunsmith slot would've given us a second townie to confirm and maybe even 3 depending on IH's night results or just confirmed scum. Which also noting Vigilante claim is just a good way to hide from a claimed gunsmith. What we really don't know is just how much information scum were able to grab. In the Scum Hermit and YP world there is very minimal bussing, in the scum Rosen/Wiadi/IH world there is a crap ton of bussing, in a world with 5 scum though bussing is more viable, in the 4 scum world defending your allies especially after losing one day 2 is a lot. In the 5 world scum look to be an advantage and a way to toss maybe weaker scum roles out to pasture for credit. Roleblocker strong, redirector strong, delayer strong. All just very reasonable.
But Wiadi's claim is just also bad, first off why night get the chat night 1? Its just better.
 
Wiadi/Rosen/IH team seems... possible (more likely than YP/Hermit/Comi)
Would scum split their votes if it was mylo?

Can't type my 2 player scum teams fast enough (phone).

Inb4 I make the game losing play.
[X] Vote Wiadi
 
End of Day 6/End of Game
And so the party organized upon the vote of the sixth day, and it was with grim results for what had come forth.


The mask slipped off to reveal Kagerou Imaizumi, the Bamboo Forest's Loup-Garou (@A Wise Hermit), it falling below.

But it was upon this that for the remaining six, their masks each lit up in color of their alignment. There were three Party-Goers, and there were three Party-Crashers.

And so it was mathematically impossible to win for the Party-Goers, with the Party-Crashers having won the game.


With congrats to @Wiadi, @-Rosen, @ComiTurtle, @Variable, @Logos and @Cyricubed for winning the game. Thank you to everyone for partaking in my first mafia game never let me run a game with twenty-one people again. Full Role PMs will be shared in the thread shortly and I should be sharing a write-up sometime tomorrow.
 
GG everybody! Sorry @A Wise Hermit for the drawn-out battle at the end, I definitely played it sloppy but it seemed like the best fake case I could make to win outright here
 
GG all! And congrats to all participants on being a part of our second-longest game ever, by page count (and first-longest if you adjust for Archfiend's absurd amounts of pregame posting).
 
@-Rosen: No offense, but if you survive N1 next game then you can be at least 50% sure (and at most like 66% sure) that I'm not a vigilante.

Too much pocket.

[Earth]: Slightly harden the target's skin, for the remainder of the game, the earth-buffed player's vote has tiebreaker power (if the end of day vote is a tie and they are voting one of the tied options, the player they voted for will be eliminated, instead of determining the result randomly.)

Nopeguy said:

Read Between the Lines [Even Night Alignment Cop] On even nights you may target someone and see what their alignment is.

Nictis said:

Danmaku blasts are one shot vigilante gifts. Music Discs are one shot check flip music gifts. The default kill flavor of Danmaku blasts will be Blasted by Danmaku.

Perfect Freeze [Delay] Your ice powers freeze someone for a night and delay their actions till the next night. They can submit actions on the new night on top of their old actions without overwriting them.
 
Meh.
I still maintain that silly post about a cat stealing my face was more entertainment then I was going to offer with my Wood power so meh…
If I hadn't been lynched I would have fake-doused Clown Bean for that Dohble-voter thing, see what shakes out from that.
 
For the record, sorry I had to bow out of this one. I was honestly feeling fine when I signed up, but then at the end of the year SAD hit me like a load of bricks, the hardest it has all winter, and I just couldn't function for a few days. I'm doing a lot better now, but it is what it is.

I think both sides played pretty decently, though I do think a lot of town can learn a lot from this game, to be honest. I know I learned a thing or two. I'll probably elaborate later when my head is in a different space.

Also I did provide a justification for my claiming in Observer Chat, and I ddo more or less stand by it, though don't expect me to do it next time; I do want to see how things play out if I take the opposite approach.
 
@A Wise Hermit
some of my posts at you were directly sussing, but a solid 50-70% is just gameplay advice
'there's no other possibilities' is seldom ever correct in a closed game, barring like an explicit red check.
you really needed to not focus on mechanics half as much; use them for falsifying theories, or as the seed for theories, but back them up with 'this player is making odd posts and odd votes'. The latter is publically verifiable, the former is something scum can fuck with.


you kind of had a point about Wiadi at the end there but I was I'll admit not really willing to listen after so much back and forth where it felt like you were not reading anything I was trying to say
 
I hope if I'd been more engaged I maybe would have dropped the tunnel, I gotta admit I didn't even look at the thread for the past two days.
fairly I would have still tilted us into a loss
 
I called Rosen, but I was paranoid that that was just paranoia, so I didn't pursue it. Then again, it's not like it would have helped.
Yeah to be honest I kinda deliberately didn't engage with the ideas, mostly because I thought it was pretty impossible to engage with reasonably in the first place. The only real rebuttal in that regard was the Triple-Bus idea, which in our end state it was easier to just try to force a miselim through than lead into an F5.
 
If YP doubted my -Rosen scumread I literally had a post planned in my notes that said that -Rosen was like Miles Edgeworth updating the Autopsy Report in the court record, because there ain't no way that 4 - 5 scum team observation was real that late in the game
