Call of Cthulhu Mafia |OT| Nuts on this island taste insane! Yum Yum!

I'll be honest, I'm somewhat worried about Droplet and Rats Off To Ya, because of a possible Romeo and Juliet thing where they are playing for themselves

Either nin or Rats would establish a clear pattern for the book

Lynching me would verify what I say

Lynching Retro, well who knows

I won't discount other possibilities at this point. If you're a town PR and are not on this list, it may be beneficial to reveal yourself now as a PR, so we have full knowledge of what is happening
 
Asides from GreatCharleston, johhnyquicknives, and ScraftyDevil, that's everybody, which is enough for me

Night 1- Neuromancer (active)
Night 2- nobody (fuck you Vylash. No really, fuck you)
Night 3- nin1000 (active)
Night 4- nin1000 (active, he had had the book yesterday and claimed no use)
Night 5- Rats Off To Ya (active; god damnitt lovers)

With RetroMg's claim, we have about 3, maybe 4 suspects to attack

I'm not on there either. Right now the most suspicious thing is pretty obvious. Nin. You gotta tell us what's up.

I have two important questions to discuss.

1. Do we think that the cult can still recruit?
2. Do we think that there are any recruitable players left?
 
Why would ultron lie?

If he killed Lord, just say it.

Doesn't make much sense.

Idk

I can think of a reason though.

Coming into the game (actually, during night 3 when it was confirmed what my role is), I thought the investigator was alive (still might be, just doubt it), so I was planning to reveal yesterday. Had vylash given me some info for night 2, I might have, but I otherwise didn't have enough info to feel comfortable posting

Ultron might have guessed the cult wouldn't believe he didn't kill LoC, and they might have thought he still had bullets. He was, at that point, an ordinary tourist, but the 2nd cult knew they didn't kill Lord of Castamere, and would know he was lying about the 2 shot. He essentially saved a night for all the power roles as the cult went after what was an ordinary tourist at that point

RIP best vigilante and town MVP
 
Two neutrals were found.

Unlikely to find two more.

Just my opinion.

I'm leaving the possibility open. I don't want to get blindsided.

While I'm at it, I'll just put all my thoughts on the table, straight from the notepad. Some of this stuff is from yesterday, not fully updated (pretty updated though)

ROLES:
3 town PRs, one pro town role (Dead)
1 confirmed PR (YTBL)
2 Cult/PR (YTBL) (NIN)
6 total, 2 lovers, 1 probable scum

Dead People
Neuromancer- (sanity) investigator
Fireblend- town doctor
ultron87- 3 shot vig
Blarg- H.P Lovecraft- hold that L
MattA- Blarg lyncher
Coppaniva- ordinary townie
Tucah- ordinary townie
Flame_AC- ordinary townie (sorry)
Never Forever- ordinary townie
Timeaisis- Godfather, hold that L
LoC- Cult roleblocker, useless on me, hold that L
L_P- hold that L
Sorian- insane tourist/2nd cult
Darryl- insane tourist

Yet to be lynched People
Hyperactivity- Motion detector, dreams
nin1000- town PR/2nd cult
RetroMG- claimed PR
ROTY- lover (no way they're cultists)
Droplet- lover (now way they're cultists)

ScraftyDevil- most likely ordinary townie

jqk- (Guess) idk, ordinary townie?
GC- (Guess) ordinary townie?
TWE- (Guess)- sort of lean townie, not sure

Best I can come up with is that he wanted to save that last shot in case of another L_P Situation. (Town passes over someone he's sure is scum) However, he also wanted to get his role out in the open to clear him of any possible suspicion, while also assuring the scum that he no longer posed a threat to them.

It's actually kind of clever.

Nah, he probably wanted cult to spend time killing what was an ordinary tourist at that point

Zatoth, does insanity affect everyone the same way?

I'll be honest, I'm somewhat worried about Droplet and Rats Off To Ya, because of a possible Romeo and Juliet thing where they are playing for themselves

We're aligned with the tourists. I don't know how else we can convince you. We'd be an incredibly weak third party.

Anyway, ultron probably would have claimed killing LoC after we killed all the original cult. I think he was saving his last shot, so he lied about how many he had, but not about who he killed.

Could Rats and Droplet be Mafia and using the Lovers role as a cover? I don't think so, but I'm trying to cover all the angles.

Also, dammit Nin, do not make me come after you in a second game.

Yeah, looking back at my notepad, you two would need to be crazy reckless or stupid to give your role out if you two weren't town

If one of you ended up being cult,t he other would definitely be next on the chopping block, if not dying to a double kill together

They would have to be crazy at this point. They volunteered info before I ut pressure on Rats, and have confirmed that the two of them are in a group together

I wanna see the manual for this game when it's over. I have so many questions.

Manual? I make this up on the fly.

Haly

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Twist is that Zatoth was an Insane Moderator. So he only makes decisions 50% of the time. The other time it's randomized.
 
Sorry ahead of time

I'm fine with starting with nin. He may well have had a good reason for avoiding my question 2 days ago, if he is a PR. But between Droplet and Rats, we have two connections to the book already, and lynching him could set a pattern as to what to expect for book holders

That being said, let's not majority lynch him immediatley

The full conversation between him and I on day 4, plus some from day 5

FOR REFERENCE:

DAY 4

Ok, if I understand this correctly, nin1000 had the book yesterday, right?

I'm not sure if I want to ask him if he used it or not, but now that we have an alive past owner of the book, and now that we know what it can do based off of N2, I want to ask him what the 5 power it has are

Yo nin, given that we're using you to confirm next book holder, I want him to talk about this thing.

Wth are you talking about

Coppa said i should use the item. I was on mobile and wanted to say.
"If i use the item , i should use it on someone who i think will kill me but it will therefore turn me insane" the :( means that i was unsure. I dont have the item anymore ans i did not use it since i was to fucking afraid.

No biggie



I did not use it

That is the thing right now. Since only players who were already insane can become cults, what is the purpose of those who become insane ? Who are they alligned with or what is different. That is still a huge question Mark for me right now. It has to have some Kind of effect or else why would that insane mechanic even exist.

Asides from one or two players who trust somewhat more (will decline to give names, I don't believe in helping me people sneak by unharrased), I'm generally suspicious. There are about 3-4 players I'm not getting a read from (again, I want to see what they are like without suspicion for now, might throw some later if I don't see them posting much or am still not getting a read), and I want to hear more from nin1000

nin1000

I'm pretty sure you're hiding something, and I want you to speak up.

Oh, and sorry for posting a bunch and than not dong anything for most of yesterday. Was really busy yesterday and collapsed when I finally got home

Umm


VOTE: nin1000

Sorry but we have someone like hyperactivity who came in even later and he contributed a lot more than you did and since blarg died the game came to pretty much a halt, so not so much to read through there. You excuse is not viable for me then.



I dont agree there since i reacted to neuromancer calling me out and saying i am a player who only reacts and does not give town any information. I gave the town the information about the item. The only thing i was hiding was the info that i had it but i gave it away for the sake of town even though it could have very much meant my death.
I was and i am still thinking for the sake of town. I dont try to fit in since not everyone is the same even though we are on the same team.
I even understand this



Since its a basic move. Put pressure on another player that several people find "scummy" and save yourself. Sorry but I will not fall for that Twe.
I at least tried to do something for town, you on the other hand did not much but try compare yourself to me. Not going to happen mate ;)

Like i said on my earlier post, the only thing i was hiding was the book and since we did not get any information on the last day i just spoke up and shared the information i had with the town. I dont have anything more to hide at this stage of the game.

Nothing else?

Nothing more. At least it was something :)

I'm simply applying pressure. He's not talking or he's lying, and I want to know why

There is nothing mote to add. I already told you all i had. Its sad to See that the game progressed like this .

'm going to back off for a bit, maybe go after some other people

UNVOTE

The thing is , it has been like that the last days. We go about players who seem fishy because of reasons. Only because i got mentioned by LoC makes me a target.
I can understand that it is the easiest way to go after me since there is nothing else to go about but hell its lazy.

That's not why I'm gong after you.

In fact, had totally forgotten about it

It was more about neuromancers post than yours :p

How would you go about it then ? There is nothing else to talk about since almost everyone stopped talking after blargs death.

?

neuromancer?

Don't worry about it

How long till voting from now?

Oh yeah, just remembered a question I wanted to ask you and Never Forever


Does the role block on the book have anything specific like on LoC's role (which talked about sleep).

Actually, screw that, can you give anymore specifics about the powers of the book the book users have revealed?

Whoops was neverforever. My Bad

This sums it up

Is it possible that book induced insanity might be temporary? Was thinking about it, and the idea cam up.

Nothing can be said for sure at this Moment. NF wanted to use it this night and tell us about it tomorrow.

Speaking of which, NF was killed when he tried to use the book, but we have a successful book use

Can you tell us anything ROTY, Droplet? Even if one of you is insane, the other probably isn't


Some stuff from Day 5 that is somewhat relevant

Does anyone know what players are in US it Europe? I want to know when I should reasonably expect activity from them, because a few people have stayed very low, to the point where I flat out want to demand then to speak up. I don't really want to waste a lynch in these players, so I want everyone to be more active.

As it stands, I'm not going to count on any more luck in this game. We're likely the luckiest game right now. 2 of our scum kills were nightine vigilante shits and the other felt very last minute "we better lunch something, let's just roll the die and see what happened."



Well, we know what to do

VOTE: nin1000

Consider this as an attention grabber. It's much too early in the day for me to decide do anything.

I want information on the book and book ALONE. Don't try to distract here. Whoever has the book right now better not claim, unless nin makes a major lie or tries to bs us

At this point, I'm tired of relying on the book to give us anything. It's a tedious process, and I can't fully trust those who have spent a night with it in any way.

Give us every single thing on the book. I want all the info we can get. This thing needs to get out into the open, and every other book holder is gone for now. I have feeling that, should the cult control the book, they've kept you, the book holder with the most suspicion on him, alive to get more attention on you. So I only want a short and sweet explanation on the book, as well as it's last power

Oh, and preferably don't respond to this immediately, I want other people to comment on whether we should bring the book out into the open too, as well as point things out they I likely missed

Just want to clarify, I don't necessarily won't to go after nin1000 today, I just want info on the book

EU germany here 9 am AS it stands. Was out with my GF lasr night and had no time to check in earlier.

Well fuck, there i thought the game could have been over but the thought about another cult just makes me shiver. Reading through the day atm.

So yay or nay on the Information about the book ? I could just post the wall of Text i got the day i recieved the book.

If there's something absolutely vital that we haven't heard yet, go ahead and share it. But I still think it's important to hold stuff back so we can reliably track its movement. Whether or not that will help us in the end, it certainly won't hurt us.


Since i share that line of thought , i am not going to share the Information.
Since we now got another cult in the mix my thoughts have to be reconsidered.

Thanks, sorry, I just want to get a feel for timezones before trying to call out too many specific people for being inactive. Nay for now, I'll go with ROTY for a bit, and as for you, I'm not so concerned anymore. Thinking it through and with the likelihood of a 2nd cult, I don't think you're as big of a target anymore

My one concern is if they decide to kill you tonight. So long as they leave us with just one alve book holder, we won't have information on the book we can trust. And given that we want the current book holder to stay quiet, if he comes forward tomorrow than we won't necessarily be able to trust him. I'm interested in what you guys think about this possibility.

Was there anything that could hint at an external source for the book, someone influencing it or anything similar?




Nah, it's cool, I just wanted to bring the problem out into the open to comment on it. I'm not advocating to kill inactives. I hate it, it feels like a "we have no better option" lynch and I'd like to avoid it as much as possible. But if need be, I'm willing to put pressure on people who aren't saying much.

Yeah, the more I think about the chance of nin1000 getting night lynched, the less I like it

I'm going back to saying yay on the book info, although I feel like there should be some sort of consensus on this

Since the day Phase is going to get extended we at least have a lot more time oncour hands to talk about it. Like i said earlier for now i will stay quiet but i am willing to Sharing the last bits.

About another player lying about the book, well as soon as all the Information is out in the air , everyone can claim to have the book.

If nin stays quiet and gets killed, we can't trust the next claim.

If nin reveals all, we can't trust the next claim.

If nin stays quiet and lives, we can trust the next claim.

I think nin should stay quiet.

If nin reveals all, we have information

He also gets rid of a target on his head, and I bet there's plenty of flavor or other stuff that could still help us confirm the new book holder if nin lives (assuming it doesn't change. If it does, we still have info)

Well fuck , i can understand both sides.
Like i said earlier , since we have a bit more time in our hands i will love to hear from other players what they are thinking.
But thank you both for chiming into that conversation.

Well...shit. Okay. I have the book. People seem to be pressuring nin and I don't want to lose my chance to claim.

I don't remember exactly what we've covered so far, but I think a new power (maybe the last?) is to protect someone from being killed this night. I'm interested in the insanity thing, but I haven't decided what I'll do tonight.

Don't tell us what you've decided on the use of the book

Just get through the claims again and look what has not been covered so far , since everything you will say now can and will be used against you.

I can agree to this. A vote on if we talk about the book more or not? Yeah. A lot of information will actually come out of this vote so why not.

This is what Never Forever posted about the powers:



Protecting somebody was the very first thing Darryl confirmed about the book. We're gonna need something else, Droplet. If we're doing this today, might as well do it right.

Exactly , by stating that you got the book and then only mentioning something we already knew does not look good.

In any case, is there anything else about the book to know? (Don't give the specifics if so, I want to see what the others think about getting that info revealed)

One more small Detail

Since wehave more than 4 days left we can heqr about it later btw.

Alright, back from class!

So right now we have (from NF's post, but with some changes):

1. Send a short message
2. Protect another person from being killed during the night phase
3. Block someone's actions this night phase
4. Vote will count twice during the next day phase
5. Erase someone from the game

You will turn insane when you use it, and you may die if certain conditions are met. Powers may need to recharge.

From what I can see, I don't think NF used the book, unless killing him stopped it from happening.

Well , there goes my voice saying that it could wait till a later date.
At least it shows that you have the book with you but damn , could have waited a bit longer :p

How do you know ? He said he wanted to use it but Neverforever said on whom. Please elaborate a bit more .



I think you may die when you are already insane , that is the only thing i can think of a condition that could lead to a death.

Because the only power that was marked in some way was the one Neuro used. I'm not sure which ones need time to recharge so it's possible he did, but if so there's no indication of it.

Interesting.

Is it? Should be the same as the book you got.



Yeah I'm not sure. It sounds a lot like LoC's description to me, where using his power with certain conditions met leads to unintended consequences. We could also interpret that maybe as using it on the wrong person.

I got the book after darryl and Neuro/Sorian and nothing was Highlighted. The description of the powers was a bit different aswell.



Very Interesting to see that the book evolved.

I guess I was being a bit too subtle, but I wanted to leave that last part for verifying future book owners, hence my referring to it in a way that another person wouldn't easily guess. Sorry for confusing you.

That's probably all the information about the book. There's some other flavor we can use to verify the owners, but we're pretty much done with anything new and relevant. I was curious to see if I could use the book to keep myself from dying tonight so we could see what insanity does, but alas I cannot.

Alot of this is just a bunch of back and forth.

And as I understand it, the book does not really evolve, she was trying to leave something for the future.

Some final stuff from yesterday

Well never thought of it that way, would love to hear from Flame again !

Heard enough, made my choice

Vote: Flame_AC

This sorta bothered me. It's not enough to be really evidence, but helps my hunch. I was largely responsible by myself for getting Flame_Ac lynched yesterday, but these posts felt way too much, more than any of the other last minute swings, as adding onto an easy last minute bandwagon. There wasn't as much of a logic behind it, nothing justifyig for himself. Of course, I think Droplet did something similar, and I can't fully use this as evidence as much of helping my hunch

Today

Tbh, I was going to use the responses of nin and Rats to help who I would go after today

Nin's stuff from today

Let's play a game scum

I can confirm Neuromancer was active night 1, which is why I'm sure Sorian was insane or 2nd cult.

Lets go Hyper

I am unsure on how to ask this but Neutral or Town ? :p

We still have more than 3 days left so take your time hyper , this could be the game changer !

Nin was alone on this, but I can't say I didn't want to do this too. I won't fault him for this

I assume he was telling the truth about the book so that, if he is cult, he wouldn't get caught if we killed a town member claiming book

The most suspicious thing I see was his insistence he did nothing, although again, that's reasonable for a PR to act that way

HOW ARE YOU MISSING RATS SPEAKING EXCLUSIVELY IN HAIKUS.

ARE YOU BLIND.

And also, I told you I don't think NF used the book. I still saw it, even if I never had it.

Oh god Zatoth you're brilliant
I fucking love you right now

Unless this is an act as you guys have somehow made both isnane and part of other side and stuff, but I sort of doubt it

I think the kill canceled NF's usage out

I doubt it, unless he tried to use it for the double vote. Everything else was a night action that should have been able to be carried out regardless of he was dead or not. I only made that suggestion on the off chance that whoever was killing us would consider targeting me instead, but they didn't. :(

Also as I've told you like 3 times, I never had the book. I don't have it now either..

And IF we still assume that only town can hold the book, then that would, in theory, clear Nin. I want to hear what he has to say before we make that definite, though.

Remember that Darryl, an insane tourist, also held the book before. It's entirely possible that somebody who was not yet cult or perhaps just didn't have killing powers before still was able to get the book.

Let's not assume anything for now

As Rats mentioned yesterday (somewhere), the 2nd cult may very well be tied to the book itself

This is true, Darryl was town when he held the book. Nin may have been town when he held the book and changed after.

I have this feeling that Zatoth thought the insanity mechanic was going to be so much fun, (making people do things like post in Haiku) and is mildly disappointed that it took this long for someone to have to do it.)

Scrafty does accents in every game she plays. I wouldn't look too much into it. Anyway she dropped the accent for a little bit as she was defending herself.

Day 1 Darryl
Day 2 Neuromancer or maybe not really Sorian
Day 3 nin1000
Day 4 Never Forever
Day 5 Rats Off To Ya
Day 6 ?

Scrafty joins in Day 2

So unfortunately, I don't think that happened

Unless scrafty was insane to begin with

I was mostly joking. It would be hilarious if that were the case, but I knew better.
 
Wouldn't matter, Darryl was insane and he didn't have to do anything because he was "used to the voices" or something. Just...don't look into it too much. It's flavor.

I know

Where is Scrafty btw. And Great Charleston and johnnyquicknives

Of course, the day has just started, but I want to hear their input

By the way, I looked through Day 4 and I couldn't find any evidence that somebody had been turned insane. I seem to recall everyone posting at least once, so I'm guessing we might be looking at a different reason for the no-town-kill.

Anyway, give everyone else time, it's only been 3 hours since we started again!
