Blarg seems to be spelling something out with these posts with an asterisk then a letter. Unfortunately the forum doesn't seem to allow you to search purely for symbols so I'll look into it tomorrow

Sigh, when bullets start flying I may be SOL. Especially with Melon having a BP.

Oh boy, the jailer does have the kill option. Hopefully Sorian limited it to not being able to do that much.
 
Home on the range
Where the buffalo roam
And the deer and antelope play

In the valley of life
The black panther roams
Away from the trials of rule

A rumble is heard
Danger, approaching
A galloping herd of beasts

Nowhere to run
Should've listened to Shuri
But a panther shouldn't have wings

With claws to climb
The panther ascends to freedom
Escape is in sight

Someone approaches
Aid is here
Give me your hand, friend

The saviour leans close
His whispers carry across the land
"Long live the king"

Oh wow!

This is definitely better executed than mine.
 
Yeah, that idea was great hahah.

I think this event might have lethal repercussions. Hope I actually get something out of it now.

Thanks for the feedback, and thanks ET for the idea.

If only I put that much effort in flavour as I do in the game, right?

I think that's the opposite of what you meant to say and it made me chuckle because of it.

Don’t think so. I guess you’ll get some shots though.

I think I will shoot Ezekel then? Blarg suspicions are still going strong.
I kind of feel like Blarg should live until Melon flips, but those vests are going to bite us in the ass eventually. Hell he clearly trusts Ezekiel so he may already be BP again.

I think that's the opposite of what you meant to say and it made me chuckle because of it.
Agreed lol
 
I’m Deathproof for the reminder of D4 and N4. Can’t be lynched or strong killed.

Well, at least Eze didn’t get it. He dead.

To be specific, I mention lynch or strong kill specifically since those are generally the unavoidable death threats in a mafia game but you obviously dodge everything else too.

Carry on.
 
The event thread is public, you can check it out, but it was basically some weird but simples minigames, ending with a hot potato mess.
 
Help guys. I’m getting stupid ideas about this reward... like adding that I would get warned about any kill attempts on me or something stupid like that.
 
Might attract attention to me down the road though.. it’s just that I’m the only player that got this item. I think we can should try and use that somehow.
 

Natiko

I thought you meant claiming that in the thread right now. Yeah, it could be a useful ploy. I think it depends on what sort of heat you have at day end and if anyone hit you with an ITA today.
 
Don’t think I’ll get much heat. But we’ll see.

Anyway, first ITA is at 7AM here, so I might not make it. Can I leave my Day kill on Ezekel here for the phase start?
 
Pretty sure Sorian went to sleep.

Well, I’ll leave it here anyway and try to wake up at time. Sorry if that’s lazy of my part!

DAY KILL: EzekelRAGE
 

Natiko

Town's Friendly Neighborhood Serial Killer
If I can bring myself to wake up I’m going to ITA LP and hope I miss. May throw extra suspicion on other low activity players instead of him if I get got.
 

Natiko

Town's Friendly Neighborhood Serial Killer
If anyone starts shooting at me and you all feel a bus is needed then go for it as well. If we’re going to lose anyone going forward we really need it to be our non-killing roles. We need those alive going forward more than anything else.
 

Natiko

Town's Friendly Neighborhood Serial Killer
Though on that note maybe I’m not the person to even risk bussing LP. So maybe I won’t and one of you can get the credit if it comes to it.
 
Damm. Woke up in the middle of the night to add this and it’s exactly about that.

I think we need to be very careful with the ITAs right now. It’s really weird, but I feel that if a lot of shots are fired at briefs_cats or LP, it’s actually more scummy to bus him LP here.

I mean, imagine a scenario where they both flip before the end of the Day, hell maybe even tomorrow, and we get a tally of 30 or so shots at them. Both players are non-entities in the game so far and one of them ends up flipping town and the other scum.
In a situation like this, bussing is incredibly predictable since, by scum logic, if the inactives are going to die and everyone is shooting at them, better to shoot at the actual scum for some free town points and be done with it.
 
I think that if anyone here decides to shoot LP, then it needs to be one of the first shots, at the best be it the literal first shot, before we get open season on inactives.

I feel this is very important. People will pick up on this later.
 
Further explanation on my thoughts on this.

Everyone tacitly decides that inactives need to be taken out via ITAs. We have one scum and one townie in there and both haven’t done any real contribution (in the main thread, LP’s poem was gold) that can be used to justify one shot over the other. Both players WILL sooner or later get killed by these shots.

You’re scum in this situation. Who do you shoot?

I think that if you can’t differentiate your shot from the rest, be it by being early or something substantial, then it’s a way too obvious a bus considering the circumstances.
 
This might bite me in the ass later since I was rather openly against the ITA shots on inactives. Despite I think having good arguments for it, it will be telling when one of them flips scum.

Sincerely hadn’t realized that we have only really inactives alive, since I’d bus LP without a second thought lol
 

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
I might save my ITA for a later phase. If I shoot in this first phase, it'll be an immediate shot on LP.
 
I’ll push you on this Coolest. It doesn’t make sense for a curse to come up only at D4, unless it was a reward from one of the events.
 

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
We can still win. We just need to get lucky with ITAs and try to engrain ourself into town as much as we can.

There are 24 players and 5 of you.

I had to go count it now too lol
 

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
We're basically at the town/mafia ratio for a normal mafia game now. Though normal games don't have to account for a million kills.
 
Hahahah this is fun.

Really surprised at those lovers flip really. Awesome to get both of them.

Kinda sorry to have killed monkey as collateral though.

Losing Natiko sucks hards. He was really present and active in both threads and other than Geno no one else really cared for him. Maybe killing Geno instead of Sawneeks would have worked best.

Gotta pick up the slack now. But I do think we still have a shot at this.

I will definitely shoot you Extreme. Let’s hope I roll badly.
 
Man theres one a few of us, and some of us got serious eyes and skepticism on us.

Hopefully we can turn it around, too bad I was stupid enough to waste my powers for town points, but we can kill plently of them in due time through ITAs/Mislynches
 

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
Do you think you'll stick with it for the full day? It might be suspicious since it hasn't happened to anyone before or ever again. Although I guess we could attribute it to an item.
 
Man, you guys are revealing my inner vocation for bus driver...

I can play off CoolestSpot’s ploy as a townie gambit either way, so it’s not so bad.

But I’m kinda locked at Extreme right now. Will shoot at the next ITA, but need to create some distance for later so I’ll look for some other leads with the 4th Event and into melon.

You could shoot elsewhere and be fine but it's probably better to risk it. I only went after Extreme briefly so I have a justification if I ever need to vote for him.
 
Wait that’s weird... that wasn’t a strong kill on him lol.

Someone blocked Blarg maybe? Man, what a dream that would be. Or maybe Gorlak redirected actions from Eze to Monkey with his event item?! lol

Oh it got buried at the bottom of the page but using a converter is a reasonable guess for post restrictions.

Was asking others for their top 3 scum but no one bit.
 
Oh that’s what you meant. Yeah, everyone ignored it lol.

These filthy townies thinking about shooting Kalor and Extreme... get out of here.
 

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
It'll be great if they kill Blarg for us. The fact that some people are considering it is insane.
 
Geno probably saw some movement with Neeks today. Maybe our attempt at her or something. Unsure how that would make him doubt her though.
 

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
If he did see movement, he might have found the failed kill interesting but that's already explained with the vest. Though we already have a lookout so it might not be that.
 

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
Ideally we don't want a Saw lynch today since they're dead tonight anyway. Pushing suspicion onto Geno will serve as a good distraction on later days. If I was town, I'd be genuinely annoyed with their play here, it's slightly dampened because it benefits us but still, I hope he's a neutral because he is not helping town.
 
And yeah, ideally we want Neeks to survive, but don’t be overt on it because if she survives, she will then flip at the start of the next phase.
It will be revealed that scum tried to kill her the night before and, after her claim, knew she was already dead. To it’s only natural for the scum team to divert attention from her lynch.
 
Oh, apparently someone shot her too. Damn, we got A LOT of killing roles.

All our 4 shots went through + DCPat killer + Lone Stranger jail kill + melon.
 

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
This'll be an interesting day end. There's no real push for anyone right now so it could end up being nearly anyone. As long as none of us get lynched, I think we'll be in a really good position.
 
I think we can control the lynch without real repercussions this phase. No connection between us and only some light ht push towards us.
 

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
Someone should call Swamped out for having no reasoning attached to her vote on me. I would do if I hadn't already done it with Kawl earlier.
 

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
Okay. We're all alive but the risk of the jailer is out there. Sawneeks dying tonight works out since Muffin is using their presumed scum alignment to throw shade of the Brief voters.
 

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
For my kill, I don't know who to go for. Maybe Blade since they pose the most risk in the late game.
 

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
It might be time to kill Kawl, just to reduce the amount of confirmed town going into the latter stages of the game. Ynnek is basically confirmed but they aren't around enough to worry about.

Blarg could be dangerous with his role but he still has some amount of suspicion around him. Brazil or Muffin might be good targets. I'd lean towards Brazil between the two because Muffin thought Saw was scum so I'm curious about their reaction to the flip.

Maybe we keep Geno alive because he might help run interference like he did today.
 
Fuck we don’t deserve to win lol. Coolest realizing at Day fucking 5 that ITAs are a basic mechanic of the game.


Town, please wipe us off! I’m begging you!
