Are you really all that afraid of a Bomb? Yeah, it sucks to die, but you'll go to spec, laugh along with everyone in there, and then the rest of us will handle it from there.

The fact that Vere won't vote almost does seem like it is a Bomb though, unless he's just fucking with everyone because he's Scum. Either way he looks like Scum here lol.

Pirate Bae has died!
malus has died!

Welcome to the M/S Bearlove, the ultimate Love Boat full of Lovely Bears! You and your partnerbear have arrived here to disrupt the fun times, because those love bears disgust you! Bears are supposed to be strong and intimidating, not cure and charming! It's finally time to return the image of evil, ruthless bears!


You [Pirate Bae] are Ted, and you are partnered with malus who is Lots-O Hugging Bear.


You two are aligned with The Evil Bears (that means SCUM)


The two of you are A Pair of 2-shot Role Cop Bears. Twice during the game, during the night phase you can send the command ROLE COP: Pair. This results in you being informed the role of the pair you targeted.


Any scum pair can also do the factional night kill with command KILL: Pair. Please note, that a pair can only make one command per night.


The Scum Team has a Scum Chat in the Outer Mafia.


Your Teammates are:


Your Chat is here:


Game thread is here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/love-boat-3-mafia-ot-this-time-its-bearsonal.116855/


You will win, if the Evil Bears consist of 50% or more of the living players.

Welcome to the M/S Bearlove, the ultimate Love Boat full of Lovely Bears! You and your partnerbear have arrived here to have fun and spread the word of love! However, it seems that some evil bears have invaded the ship. They have to be stopped, in the name of love!


You [Geno] are Zummi Gummi, and you are partnered with Funky Dude Sparks who is Granny Gummi.


You two are aligned with The Love Bears (that means TOWN)


The two of you are An Ordinary Pair of Bears. You do not have any special powers, but you both can vote!


Also as a pair, you two have a private Lovers Chat in Outer Mafia. Remember, that if one of you dies, your partner will die with you.


Your Chat is here:


Game thread is here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/love-boat-3-mafia-ot-this-time-its-bearsonal.116855/


You will win, if all threats against the Love Bears are defeated.

Alright let's get started here.

vote: Dr. Monkey

It's rather convenient that the two shot role cop was lynched on day 3, after the role was effectively useless. Why throw Pirate Malus out instead? Maybe Bae had some things IRL she needed to take care of, and figured you'd be better suited to handle the late game stuff. Maybe you have a better role than they did and it was that important that the role was saved.

It's especially convenient that the entire lynch completely drew attention away from a lynch on yourself. Something you realized was likely to happen without intervention.
We fucked up. No other way to say it. I'm sorry. And I understand if you need to vote us today; there will be a doubt that lingers and today is the last day to resolve it unless we start nailing scum. So do that if you have to.

It did a stand up job considering we were getting posts like this during the day:

If Monkey and Bae is scum/scum I'll quit mafia forever.

So what happened? Bae pulled off the same gambit she pulled off in MafiEra, only this time there was a twist. The goal was to make it seem like the same gambit done twice, then come in with a new element to make it fresh and make it work. In this case the other scum mates would expose the ploy and come out better because of it. The only way to make this work was to make it obvious that the play was going on. So there were breadcrumbs.

Day 2 comes along, in the middle of the argument with Sorian, when giving reads outside of that argument, you throw some shade onto the play as a whole to set up for the next day. Something Sorian called out. Which it's funny that you were conscious enough of a post Sorian made on the side(didn't even quote or mention you mind you) to mention it in your initial call out post of the gambit.

Here's a problem though. Bae was pulled into the gossip chat night 1. After coming back, the entire scum team knew who the gossipers were. They also knew that they were town. So what happens when Sorian starts to claim that the usage of the role was scummy? The Dr. Stuart boat completely disregard his arguments on the subject, getting super defensive about everything about it. Meanwhile Kyan goes in there and makes a defense that actually makes sense, taking into account Sorian's arguments and putting it into the perspective of someone who didn't quite 'catch' the investigator bread crumbs.

Then when Day 3 comes along, they remain defensive about the entire issue, despite being 100% certain that Pirate Malus is scum, and therefore scum already knows who the thieves are. To tie the entire knot on that situation, Stuart was the one who revealed Kyan and Donna. A few posts later, he makes an explanation that they figured it out. That really should have been in the post itself.

This pattern of disregarding Sorian's arguments doesn't necessarily end there though. There was one post in particular where Sorian laid out a list of reasons he was scum reading Dr. Stuart. Instead of responding to the post though, Monkey decides that Stuart's completely unrelated questions should be sufficient, successfully drawing attention away from the post.

Fantomas you have a word document on your desktop titled "Monkey is Scum". Are you really going to backtrack on that because you think some of Monkey's day 3 posts are town monkey? Need I remind everyone of Marvel, where the only reason Fandorin was caught was because the meta of the game could only be consistent if he was scum? People can act town. That's the point of the game Mafia. Monkey has a tag that says "Mafia MVP"

vote: Verelios

I'm sure Xbro's won't be the only conspiracy theory we'll hear today but I really can't understand why anyone wouldn't vote Verelios after the latter half of the last phase.

Geno was townread but not one of the semi-confirmeds, but I guess it was his testimony that kinda put the lid on the Baelus coffin so maybe that explains that?

This is what I call the "Monkey's Grand Scum Plan" world, and it only makes sense if some others in the PoE start flipping Town.

In other words, I'm not interested in going down that road today.

Are you claiming to scum read me?

Then let's hear it. I don't have many posts, so I'll wait for you to go through them.
I already did, at least.

I also find it almost charming that this is the first case you've really put up all game. You do some excellent semantic work there. Lots of loaded phrasing.

I mean, I'm biased, but... yeah. This.

The gamestate points to a very small PoE. By all means, put us in it. Town still wins. The end.

I like to think my play would've been a lot better in regards to Bae yesterday if I were scum and knew their alignment, and frankly using that to attack me is pretty telling. In no world do I not only not bus Baelus, but am unsure from day start to day end. That's straight lunacy.

If Dr.Stu flips scum then I sincerely believe Fantipped should also be looked at. Their flip on Dr.Stu from D1 to now has been anything but surprising.

It's great that you dismiss this as a conspiracy theory, when you literally just "uncovered" one in the previous phase.

VOTE: absolutbro

I didn't have a ton of time free this weekend.

I went to a DMX concert in the sketchiest venue I've ever been to. They can't even secure a liquor license. DMX didn't show up until like 10:30. It was a night - let me tell you.

But I did look back at votes. Go back and look at Day 1 again. With Baelus confirmed as scum and knowing how quick they were to take a risk to avoid that scum lynch look at the vote stack on Kitlor again. Guess who was there? Bae and Malus. Guess who else was there? Vere and Apollo. And of course Tybro were (which is ultimately NAI in and of itself). I think my original conclusions about who all the suspect parties where on the kitslor vote, but I think the premise looks even more sound in hindsight. I think the AbsolutFat flip solidifies Verello as scum and locks up the game. If there's four scum I would look at either SkyChugger (role could be scum, one vote on Tybro but the other off elsewhere to ensure Kitslor got voted out) or FEP/Stan (Again - one vote on Tybro and the other not cast, to be more precise it was on Kitslor and then unvoted which is what makes me lean a bit more towards SkyChugg for the fourth).

Oh, for transparency's sake.

I was taken last night by Kyonna.

Laid out who I thought was scum. (Verelios, Rekibro was actually second on that list), etc.

So, I've gotta go do all that regular early evening stuff. I really hope we actually hear from Apollo today and that she has more than just SkyChuggs to talk about. I also really do want to hear from Verelios, but we should also go back through his posts because there are a lot of inconsistent reads and that may help. I'm not really a fan of chain-lunches so I'm happy to open here but also to look at connections. rac, looks like you just brought Vere up, too.

It's great that you dismiss this as a conspiracy theory, when you literally just "uncovered" one in the previous phase.
The difference is I had evidence to support my unpacking of a theory (which I did not uncover, by the way, only supported) and you have construction. You want me to red-pen your post? I'll be back in a few hours and I'll be happy to.
