I'm going to make a wild guess here and wager that he thinks if you flip mafia, he can easily justify going for Flame, being your staunch defender.

I don't think it would be that obvious though. I doubt both you and Flame are mafia. Flame has played way too "hard and fast defender" of you for you both to be mafia. It would be way, way too obvious, in my opinion. If you flip mafia, Flame would be putting so much heat on himself that would be it.

That being said, maybe Rats has another idea entirely. I'm starting to doubt your mafia, Coppa, to be honest. It's hard, though, because I'm not seeing too many other suspects out there right now. The only other nagging feeling I have is Flame, and that's just because of his post style and staunchness of defending you. Seems suspicious. Not mafia-like per se, but suspicious.

Yeah, that would be the obvious ploy, however I don't think the cultists are stupid enough to have them be the only people defending themselves. Too easy to guess. I don't think lynching me here will reveal as much as you all hope, but I also think as it stands I'm too easy for cultists to hide behind when I'm alive. I'm the obvious choice, and though there's a few lingering doubts, as long as they can keep the spotlight on me every day we just get in a worse and worse position. The alternative is to keep me alive long enough for us to be able to see who continually accuses me and tries to bring me up.

If lynched, I am curious to see how often people bring me up to keep the topic on me. That'll be vital evidence since controlling the conversation is one of their best tactics.

I'm inclined to think Flame is town, and I don't think he has inside/investigator knowledge. He's going way too hard/obvious with his defense of Coppa which would be a stupid move for an investigator as they make themselves a target. He could be a cult looking to build trust but that seems like a risky play when they're already down a team member.

I've posted about Coppa before but really the bottom line for me is: How many people are willing to flip and trust him? Are there any other players thats role flip would really persuade you that he's town?. I think possibly lynching Flame might give a bit of insight, but not enough that he wouldn't be suspect #1 again tomorrow, and if thats the case it's probably best to rip of the mask today.

I'll say again that lynching me would not provide you any sort of clarity on the situation, it is quite unique. Unfortunately, it seems that even if I were to rescue Coppa today, he'd probably be in the same situation tomorrow.

Or, perhaps, neither of us are Mafia. I'm pretty sure I'd be target number one on Day 4, regardless of if Coppa turns Tourist or not. Defense of an innocent man is certainly not suspicious, though I understand your thoughts on my defense of him. I'll make my final post tomorrow morning concerning my action.

Flame, I wouldn't vote you regardless of whether Coppa turns up cult or not. I and probably many others think you're playing a contrarian town.

I want to ask, it's pretty apparent that coppa is going to be lynched barring some cultist accidentally admitting it. I don't want to role fish so if you don't have an override power just say so and nothing else, but if you do have one and you're planning to use it today, who are you going to use it on?

I will likely not do any action today. If I am going to use it, it'd be for someone such as nin1000. However, the town seems unanimous in their death wish for Coppa, and so I will more then likely relent for today.

My suspect isn't Flame. As I said, I'm pretty sure Flame is Town.

Coppa, I already responded to your accusations about Day One, so either you can't read or you choose not to. Or you're a Cultist trying to put doubt into Flame's head without seeming like you're angling for an override.

I've explained why I'm going after Coppa two days in a row. We didn't get anything useful from yesterday in terms of scum tells, so this is an older read, although Coppa's behavior since I first made the accusation certainly hasn't helped him. Also, Coppa, I didn't even bring you up today until Scrafty specifically asked me to, so you can stop with that "shutting down discussion" idea.

If I'm wrong today, hey, I'm wrong today. It's only the third day, and two outta three ain't bad.


Fair enough, and in all honesty I hope when this is all over we'll have been on the same side all along and we can chat about how we won. Until then, it's been nice playing with you and I wish the tourists best of luck.
 
OK,

I'm going to put

VOTE: Coppanova

for the record I'm still a lot more suspicious of nin, but I think that if we don't vote out Coppa today then tomorrow is basically just going to be a retread of today, and I'd rather talk about someone else.

I will not be saving Coppa today.

VOTE: Coppanuva

Just throwing it out there so if someone wants to end the day an hour or two early, they can. I don't believe Coppa is a Cultist and am confident in his Tourist status. It was a good run Coppa, perhaps we'll play together again next season.

Don't blame you, I think it's the right thing to do since as long as I'm alive I'll be a focus of conversation that'll stall things too much. Good playing with you too. Best of luck.
 
It frustrates me how little we learned today, and it'll frustrate me even more if Coppa doesn't flip cultist cuz it'll mean that we put another innocent t' death with very little to show for it.

My vote doesn't mean anything at this point since Coppa's gettin' the noose no matter what, but I s'pose ya can't win the pot without makin' a few bluffs.

Tomorrow will be interesting. I wonder what it'll hold for Us.

You've got nothin' to lose at this point, so tell me this: if you did have the cube and could erase anyone no questions asked, who would you target?

I'd have waited for the last possible point and, assuming none of the unknown powers are good (Darryl did say there are 5 powers on it, we only know of the "erase you and 1 other person from the game one)... I think I'd be interested in erasing Nin1000, or maybe one of the quieter people who are barely around but say just enough to get by. TheWorthyEdge, JohnnyquickKnives, and ultron in this camp (vylash not withstanding since we know literally nothing about him, and that bothers me a lot).

I say I think Rats Off To Ya needs more investigation, and I still think it's risky keeping him alive, but I'm not convinced myself he's cultist anyhow. I just think his playstyle isn't going to ultimately be conducive to us winning since he's gunned for someone specific early on in the day 2 days in a row, which grants immunity to too many people since they know they're not in actual risk.

Nin, you better be awake tomorrow, because it looks like you're going to be the center of attention, buddy.

Sorry for being inactive the whole time but i spend the last several days with family who came over, which can be a good and a bad thing aswell.

If only I had the magic cube... man today would've been crazy if I got that thing. Oh well.

Conserning the Cube thing, it is actually a book and 5 things can be done with it.
I wanted to wait to claim it since i did not want to draw any more attention to me than i actually did by being inactive but well. There are some infos that we as town need to know so here it comes !

Interesting... I'm curious what you say from this. I didn't quite mean to call out whoever has it, I was more of daydreaming there.

Concerning your post neuro, I dont play like you want me to i am sorry for that but i wont change the way i am saying, i will keep "reacting" to situations but i can for one say that i have the best interest in my mind and dont want to keep posting for the sake of posting. If you find that kind of posting suspicious so be it, cast a vote on me.

of course it is ultron, it would be suicide from my part to "reveal" that i have the item and in the end not follow up with actual information.

For the record, you're saying you would be voting for me correct?

Also, I think the picture might be helpful, at least to nin1000. I guess it ultimately comes down to can only tourists receive the book? If so, he's not a cultist if whoever has the book next can confirm what he said. If someone who doesn't have the book claims they have it, there's an obvious target to attack next.

the picture is pure cosmetic, nothing to be found there i am not a man of fucking riddles a hate riddles!

I meant moreso if that's in the PM you get sent saying you have the book, it's a distinct mark that can be used to verify you had it without providing potentially dangerous information. If you just added it for flavor, then that's different and I misinterpreted you.

Do you know about the "something mores" and are you just holding the information from us? Or is it just a mystery? I understand if you are, I'm just curious.

just holding off , i jsut want to hear some more voices. but yes I have the rest of the 4 and will reveal them in timely manner , not 10 minutes before the day ends
 
As I've said before, I'm in favor of withholding as much information about the item as possible unless absolutely necessary. You've said enough that I believe you have it, and that's good enough for me, for now.

Okay, then please just say the entirety of what you've decided you're going to say instead of teasing it out. If you think it is a good idea just go for it. There's not much time left in the day and, with the 8/9 votes on Coppa someone could close it out any moment inadvertently (or purposefully to shut you up).

Note to those of us currently not voted for Coppa: please don't end the day.

For the record, you're saying you would be voting for me correct?

Maybe? I think the initial premise of "Lone_Prodigy spoke in your defense" is pretty loose but some of the other stuff is better than anything I've got.
 
Thanks for th' information, but you'd be better off revealin' that info sooner rather than later. If th' book is indeed an anti-cult item, ya might end up bein' bumped off early to prevent you from divulgin' information unless you ante up and put it all on the table.

I agree with Rats on this. Right now, we're 1 vote away from silencing him early. Assuming all the cult hasn't jumped on me already, that's easy to do. At the same time, I don't think we should have everything about this on the open. If it's anti-cult, keep some power hidden. Use the unknown information to verify someone has the item tomorrow, and bam we have 2 confirmed tourists.

Thats the thing , on the one side i just want to reveal all of it right now and just let it be there for everyone. On the other side i dont know what the cult could do with this info.

We know from the last night that the book can also be used to erase somebody from existence so there's that 2 out of 5

You don’t have to use the book’s magic. After the night phase it will move to another player. A used spell may need some time before its powers can be harnessed again.

the book will be passed to another player, so even if i get targeted by the cult it will be passed on
 
Fair 'nuff. I jus' think we should be wary of th' things we don't know, cuz by default the cult has far more useful information than any'a us do.

The item is potentially more dangerous to the Cult than it is to us, which is the reason for my hesitance to put more out in the open. It's true they have an information advantage, but that doesn't mean we should be showing our hands to them right now.

Exactly, just wanted to make things more interesting by revealing that small info on the item
 
An example of an ability is blocking a night eviction, although the abilities get truly insane. I don't wanna spoil it. Seems pretty safe to say this publicly since it's not gonna be in my possession anymore and all future obtainees will know I'm town.

No, one of the abilities of the cube is to instantly remove all trace of you & another player from play.

1) send a short message

Power #4 can wait until Day 4 imo so ppl can corroborate each others' stories

apart from if they kill nin, then nobody can confirm anything, but equally it may point towards the item only going to Tourists

If I might make a suggestion... nin should block night evictions tonight. As it stands, we have nobody else who has the book. If we can get nin to stay alive, he can verify whoever else the book lands on as a tourist tomorrow. We then have 2 people who are tourists (assuming it only goes to tourists) and have actual solid information for once.
