If none of Aeleus, LP, or VA are Scum, then I don't know how to play this game.

Anyway, I had fun playing this, and did the best I could under the circumstances.

Just remember this after I flip:

Trying to solve the game with a mass claim only works in certain situations, i.e. one where everyone is completely honest.

Take away the claims and night actions and you get a standard mafia game where you solve with votes, interactions, reads, and activity. The fact that I am vanilla means I have no crutch of a PR to lean on, and I like to think that shows in my gameplay, which is honest, questioning, and suspicious. Also explains the miniscule uptick in my posting activity.

I have no qualms about dying today though I would've preferred being night killed to protect a PR, but with all the claims out I am far down the list of towniness and will be kept around by scum as a mislunch.

Remember that Kopite had a semi believable fake claim. I would hesitate to confirm anyone besides FEP right now.

Also add the fact that we have a claimed hypnotist and sleepwalker so everything's not as cut and dry as you think.

Vote: Aeleus

Honestly I don't think you're scum but self-preservation and all that.

Same to you buddy (well I agree that VA is scum but I'm less sure about recruitment)

Would I claim vanilla if it could be spun as a possible recruit?

Neighbours are pretty vanilla; they just share a night chat.

Also looked at my role PM again and my name is Joe. Ordinary Joe. I get it now.

Secretly hoping WSD is a scum JOAT and is going to win the game by himself spectacularly

(there is a 1% chance this is the case, do not kill WSD instead of me, L_P, VA and Zeke/Fanto)

Going to go shopping so in case I'm offed while I'm away:

Stick to L_P/Aeleus -> Aeleus/L_P -> Zeke/(maybe?)fanto -> VA

Looking forward to being carried away by my one wing angel <3

Please note that Zeke is choosing his desire to end me over his desire to hammer L_P

Not sure what that means for alignment though

JOAT can only really be me, L_P, Zeke, VA or WSD. No reason not to stick to the order.

I'm really going now :)

So then who is the original Scum?

Vincent?

It's not me. And I wasn't recruited.

Zeke?

WSD?

Fucking who?

If you want to kill me, fucking do it, because I fucking give up if one of these three isn't the last Scum, or if LP isn't the recruited one if there are two left.

So, the alien recruiter specifically has to find a human to recruit. Only one single possible target. You all come to conclusion that means, as Vanilla Townie, LP was the target that the recruiter would have had to hit? Am I understanding that role correctly?

You are an alien recruiter. Somewhere out there is a human you can recruit to use as you will - you've just gotta find them. You can PM RECRUIT: <Player> each night to check a possibility, but if you haven't found your target by MYLO/LYLO, you lose the power.

If true, and with LP being our only person to claim vanilla, that puts me back on Aeleus.

Occam's razor. I very much doubt that Fanto or Zeke are scum given that they're already neighbours and it'd be unlikely for any of them to have extra actions/be a JoaT on top of that. Aeleus, LP and VA and maaaybe WSD are the only possible suspects in my mind if there's one scum left. I'm crossing my fingers that the worst case scenario here with today's lynch is the flip will contain a bit on being recruitable and we'll know for sure if that's in play or not but even without that info I'm feeling confident.

How does recruitment even tie to me? If you wanted that L_P is the much more sensible route

Looking forward to post flip when the defense is 'would scum actually do something so scumm?'

Don't let that stop you from killing L_P and Zeke first town

If LP isn't vanilla, who is then? We've all claimed roles, and not a single other person claimed that role. Vanilla role makes sense now because it doesn't throw off the balance of the town/scum roles if they're just recruiting a vanilla role. But it would throw off balance if they could recruit a doctor, cop, etc.

    COMMERCIAL BREAK---

    Wouldn't you know it? People are dying in commercials, too. Some purple dude snaps his fingers and a bunch of folks just disappear. Some sketchy-looking dude in a beanie makes it, though, except in the next scene, he's eaten by an alligator. When did commercials get so gruesome? Time to make popcorn. Oh, wait, the show's back on? AND there's another body? Wow.

    Aeleus has died!
    Welcome to a neighborhood in a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind - an area we call The Twilight Zone. This episode is titled is The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street (Mafia) and you have been cast as part of the town.

    You are John, a cheater (commuter). On odd nights, you slip out of the house to meet your lover for an illicit tryst, which also makes you untargetable, but on even nights, you stay home (and so can be targeted).

    The game thread is here. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM Dr. Monkey.

    You win when all threats to town have been eliminated. Good luck!

    "I know who it is that doesn't belong," of the neighbors said. "I know who the monster is!" But it was just Steve, and he wasn't a monster at all. All he was now was a body.

    L_P first, no question. If the game doesn't end (please end), we can look into VA vs weirder alternatives like WSD (the only other possible alternative IMO).

    Yeah, I don't want to discuss anything other than which we should do first, Vincent or LP.

    Anything else is hypothetical garbage.

    One of these two is Original Scum.

    Expected FEP to die. Interesting.

    7 left on D5
    6 after I die
    5 left on D6
    Vote Vincent, 4 left
    3 left on D7, skip day
    2 left on D8, scum wins.

    Or
    7 left on D5
    6 after Vincent dies
    5 on D6, skip day
    4 on D7

    I may be in favor of doing Vincent first just because I think it would be amazing if he actually cycled through his fake role claims in the thread yesterday.

    Also it would be boring as fuck if LP was Scum here. It would also be boring as fuck to mislynch LP here.

    I'm not sure, I think both have an equal chance of being Scum. I really dont care which we do first.

    So you'd rather vote for VA because they're more interesting and L_P more boring? Sure I guess. I do think they were way scummier yesterday. I agree they either cycled through their fake role claims, or went on a trip through the mafiascum wiki looking for a role to fake.

    I'd vote for Zeke before VA.

    I know I'm town, so that's from my point of view.

    I wouldn't. If Zeke is an infiltrated scum neighbour and a hypnotist/JoaT/whatever the remaining scum role is, I'll scream.

    Yeah, basically.

    I mean, I just do not see any chance that someone outside of that group is the last Original Scum. So it's a 50/50 shot as far as I'm concerned.
