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 Nelly, and you are nosy (a voyeur). Each night you may target another player by PMing me WATCH: <Player>, and you'll find out what was done to them - though not by whom.
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'm a fan of the discussion. In my opinion, if Zeke isn't scum, he is at least slathering himself in honey. It makes him an easy target, but if the town doesn't pressure and turn on him, scum will have to dial up the heat themselves to turn the town. Who else are they going to have as easy of a time pushing on folks? He's made himself an easy scapegoat for scum. Can work two ways though as we get further in the game, depending on if/when Zeke dies, and if he really does turn up innocent. If so, we have pages of folks going in on him. Nothing in the last few pages will give us a straight up answer, but....it's all useful in the puzzle.
While I don't see Zeke as scum...maybe...he is absolutely on my Investigate list. After all of this, what kind of person could resist taking a peak to find out what the hell he is up to?
So basically he townreads me, him wanting to see me investigated makes sense.……. So while I read Zeke as town, it bothers me the other hasn't come out to defend him.
Is certain I am not scum, but may be protecting a scum neighbor. Added this to show he still town reads me.For what it is worth, I don't think you're scum and protecting your neighbor who is scum. However, I do think it is a scum move of your neighbor to not come out and claim, and specifically because you have no clue if they are scum or not, you have reason to be against or for them doing such a thing.
First time he has ever said he wanted to lynch me.To the veterans...is curiosity EVER a good reason to take someone out? Because my gut has been telling me Panda was on the menu today, but my curiosity really wants to know about Zeke....I'm pretty deadset on one or the other at this point.
He was already townreading me, so I guess this is him MAYBE townreading FEP?Not a bad take. They are both so heated at one another that it really is making me question whether they are both townies, and we have some scum letting the fireworks happen while they sit back.
Says he will vote Panda, hesitantly.About to head out for an hour. I'll be back in time for there to be a good 40 minutes left and figure out where the hell to drop my vote. I refuse to let a day go by with no lynching, so if need be, I'll vote on Panda. But...I'm not sure I feel good about it.
Now his "gut" is telling him to vote me? His reasoning for voting for me is fluidity in answers? I've been pretty firm in my answers imo.I'm flip-flopping too much in my head. Re-reading thread and my gut wants to vote EzekelRage, but that might as well be a wasted vote at this point. My curiosity combined with his vague fluidity in some answers, "I could have..." "Perhaps" etc.
VOTE: EzekelRage
Doesn't want to vote Zipp due to feeling the zipped train is odd. Understandable.Yeeeeep. That is why I'm avoiding Zipped. Just went through this exact thing Day 1 in our last mafia game, and we killed an innocent while letting scum go by that we pegged early on.
Again he doesn't want vote Zipped, since he isn't in his scum lineup.I'm hoping people will sway, because Zipped isn't in my lineup of scum. That leaves FEP and Zeke.
Votes Zipp. Which contradicts what he said earlier.
This seems like him trying to excuse his vote for Zipped. Hiding behind not wanting to cause a tie. Also basically says that Zipp was low activity anyway so no real loss.That is very weak reasoning, especially in a role madeness game. Also if he didn't want to cause a tie, why wait til the last minute to move your vote to a wagon?We aren't NOT lynching someone today. I made the point earlier, and others have as well, that if Zip is town, it won't hurt us much because of tiny post count. Let's do it people.
Walking into the fifth dimension...
Lest we forget when we went out,
The Zippy one was not about
And now he has gone to bid goodbye
as we all let out a sigh
For he was gone, there was no doubt
While Humble shadows danced throughout
and gone he was without a trace
but not forgotten if you saw his face
Unless both are scum what does a scum weemad gain from this? She's just throwing her vote away no way she'd have known that it would lead to throwing Zipped out of a window, surely her's is the least suspect.VOTE: weemadarthur
Lets get the conversation started.
Who were scum protecting? FEP or Ynnek?
No one has died and no more shall be said on that topic.
Anyone had any nice thoughts during the night (to be honest I just took a break and played some kingdom hearts)
I don't regret the train on Zipped
I was in Wee's position in the previous game.Unless both are scum what does a scum weemad gain from this? She's just throwing her vote away no way she'd have known that it would lead to throwing Zipped out of a window, surely her's is the least suspect.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

If VA is scum, it also reflects on FEP. Since VA didnt want to vote FEP, when he had the opportunity to do so.
And your crumb was when you used the precise mafia term in a really weird way?Hello!
So, I mulled over whether or not to do this, but fuck it, it will help you all to see where I am coming from here.
I am Zeke's Neighbor, yeah.
This is why I was suspicious of people trying to get info from Zeke, especially regarding who his partner was, or trying to throw shade at them for not claiming.
If Zeke was Scum, then they already know I'm his partner, so what's with all this fishing? It looked highly suspect to me.
He said that if he were in my spot, he would not claim here, but I'm doing at anyways, so this is not a Zeke approved move from me.
I'll get my reads out here next.

Ok, fuck this shit.
You're all very perceptive.
If FEPs is Town here, then all he has done is argue with fucking Zeke about his role claim and get pissed at people. It's a big fucking mess.
Ynnek is not the worst vote here, I've already said I could see myself voting there and nothing has changed that thought.
So let's do this.
Vote: Ynnek7
We should be tied 4-4 now. Let's make a decision.
Wait. What?So the fishing is coming from scum, yeah? Where does Zeke fall into this? Is he also scum and told his scum buddies to do some noisy fishing for easy participation points? Or are you the scum, defending Zeke for town cred?
Not only that but through my previous conversations with L_P I knew he'd switch back to Zipped if it picked up steam, so I knew it would become a valid train, you should definitely note that down.I was in Wee's position in the previous game.
I can see her not being responsible for the train that formed, just as I wasn't in that game.
You, though... parked a vote on Capt for most of the day... then gave steam to the Zipped train.
Ynnek's vote is also worth a look.
You don't regret it because we now have more info, or don't regret it because you're fully convinced the other 2 alternatives were town and think Zipped was the better townie to lynch? Generally I wouldn't expect town to not be regretful about a mislynch :P
Yeah regret is probably the wrong word to use, I think my vote on Zipped was the best play I could have made at that point (I found the Ynnek vote incredibly lazy and didn't like the voters on FEP) but I admit it gave us less info than throwing out FEP and it's a shitty move to target someone who wasn't present (though I don't think Zipped had let us known he wouldn't be around), sorry about that Zipped, didn't mean to be an arse, I really like muppets: most wanted.You are discouraging night discussion, and then encouraging it in the next line?
Statistically yeah we were probably hitting town, and Zipped had the lowest post count, but dying on D1 without an opportunity to defend yourself sucks to the nth degree. At least have some empathy for the dead.
I'm Town reading Zeke, and I know I'm Town.So the fishing is coming from scum, yeah? Where does Zeke fall into this? Is he also scum and told his scum buddies to do some noisy fishing for easy participation points? Or are you the scum, defending Zeke for town cred?
Yet your vote yesterday did not mirror that perspective, as you switched off FEP onto Ynnek.
Yep. Not happy with the Zipped vote. If you're scum, it's wise to come after me because you and Panda still have my attention:If VA is scum, it also reflects on FEP. Since VA didnt want to vote FEP, when he had the opportunity to do so.
VA came out looking scummy eod as well with contradictions on voting zip.
Lp your "questions"
*shrug*
Obviously I still feel some type of way about fire since my vote is still on him.
*shrug*
^again meaning playful Kanye shrug.not dismissive or anything.
Also chat partner could be a she.
I didn't answer because it was a dumb question to begin with in a role madness game when I have a partner.
It was obvious what answer you were looking for and you you try and twist it to fit me.
With 3-4 scum one of us could be scum while the others sit back.
I still think it was a good move for town to ask Zeke those questions. I absolutely wanted to know who his neighbor is because if one of you die, and your role isn't neighbor, that makes the other look purty darn suspicious.Scummy section is definitely people who were asking questions of Zeke that I felt were not very good to be asking. Just felt like wanting as much info about his role and/or his partner as possible, and since I knew he was not lying about his role, they all seem pretty suspect to me.]
LolNo one dying is kinda fitting considering the theme.
So you're saying we should mass claim?
It is if that's what Dr. Monkey decided to do with her game, so it's pointless to speculate on whether Neighbors have to be a certain way.
15...
you are reading the shrugging wrong. Even in one of the posts you quoted I stated its a playful shrug.Yep. Not happy with the Zipped vote. If you're scum, it's wise to come after me because you and Panda still have my attention:
Here is the language you use that gave me pause.
All the indifferent shrugging:
.
I don't know my neighbor's alignment. So yes it's possible they could be scum. I can't definitively say whether or not they are town.Y
Or in response to a line of reasoning why your Neighbor might or might not come out, you state the below, which isn't a strong stance at all:
Uh, yea it is possible. As I had my vote on FEP, obviously I didnt think so.And finally, when stating that you and Panda could be townies just going at it while scum sit back and watch:
If we are talking about aggressive posts, FEP wins that hands down. And as I stated, I knew what path he was going down and knew it made no sense in my situation.And if you are town, posts like the below don't help the town at all:
.
What? When did Panda have your attention AT ALL.Yep. Not happy with the Zipped vote. If you're scum, it's wise to come after me because you and Panda still have my attention:
Thank you both!
Do you want to comment on your neighbor's identity at this time?I don't know my neighbor's alignment. So yes it's possible they could be scum. I can't definitively say whether or not they are town.
