The fixation on No Lynching also kind of stands out to me. I can sort of see the argument for it, but it feels to me more like he feels backed into a corner and wants to help his chances as best as he can.

Would you be interested in voting anytime soon,or do you think you need a bit more time to mull it over

I would really prefer to let him defend himself (it would feel kind of dirty otherwise), but I'm convinced enough that my feelings won't change that I could vote for him now I guess.

RIP me if I'm wrong because I'll have doomed us.

I knew you'd start trying to go for me FEP, now that I said that I believe MA making the others believe I'm the neutral is your best case to follow.

you guys saw how much FEP/ER/MA were fighting, it seemed pretty likely that the non-town would be there.

Neutral, neutral, neutral...FEP always has neutral on his mind. Why? because he's the neutral. So at the same time he wants the others to hunt for a potential neutral as he's sitting there comfortably. There's way more posts about him talking about the neutral/SK.

But in these he even tries to "spitball" and try to get CB lynched as a neutral because he knows that those gifts may be dangerous. When he isn't able to gain traction he backs off and goes elsewhere. But what happens that night cycle? CB dies. StarSketch blocks TheGoddamn who would've been the only one to perform the Scum night kill and that's why there was only one kill that night. Then he really wants to know StarSketch's target in order to know what happened. If both he and Scum targeted CB or if Scum got blocked and only he killed CB. That way, had Xam not checked TheGoddamn he would've known very clearly that TheGoddamn was Mafia and he would've gone hard on him, thus earning him Town points.

He also tried to lynch you that same day that he tried to lynch CB, Xam. He said that by lynching you we'd know a lot and that a lot of the scenarios in which he came up with you could potentially be lying about your role.
Once neither of those stuck and some called him out for trying to lynch you he decided to move on to Stanley.
He was just putting theories out to see what people actually followed up on.
He tends to use "spitball" so that if his claims aren't agreed by town he can just that he was just spitballing.
He also did this again when he tried to pin it on Zeke with the delayed phone call to Mafia theory. Even Zeke called out FEP for trying to throw any theory and seeing what stuck.
He doesn't kill Zeke on the night before because he knows Zeke will steal his vote, Zeke told him he would(says it on post 2350 which Zeke told us to remember for future reference). FEP needs his vote just in case he's suddenly in peril at least he can use his vote to try and sway things.

Even you, Xam, told us to vote for FEP if you died.(That could be a reason why he didn't kill you that night).

He says he's inexperienced and yet he uses terms like "mylo" and "omgus" practically all game long.

I'll see what I can do with the time I've got. Nice to see you feisty and building a case though, Falco. I was thinking quite a bit about a neutral earlier, you're right. And I said something that still applies.

That leaves six possible people for town and as little as three for scum. I would expect pro-town voting patterns but without too much initiative. Laying low is probably a safe bet.

There's someone in this group that this describes pretty accurately. Is this not the general MO for a neutral serial killer?

My actions aren't. I've been risking suspicion voicing doubts about the town cop and Zeke, who Scrafty and Xam both trusted. Even after my clear I had concerns about Xam and ended up leading a lynch on a townie. That would be ridiculous behavior for an investigation immune SK who just got cleared.

And I never tried to lynch CB. Look at Stanley. Look at Zeke. Look at TheGoddamn (someone give me at least a patronizing nod for this one, Jesus Christ). When I try and lynch someone I open with a vote. There is no history of me waffling around with a case and then throwing votes if anyone bites. I've been stingy with my vote because I've been cautious.

I share all my stupid theories because they are literally all I have to offer the town besides my vote as a vanilla town. I have nothing to hide and so I offer transparency.

If anything, CB is an example of this transparency. I didn't vote him. I didn't try and lynch him, but I did detect that he was lying. I correctly sensed something was off, shared the information, and theorized about it before choosing, when my thoughts with him and TheGoddamn conflicted, to trust him. Plus, as a neutral, I probably would have been more hopeful for one of those sick items than in drawing my attention accusing him of shit when Scrafty was backing him.

You've been building this narrative that I know what I'm doing for the past day now because I bothered to read the wiki. I played a card game at parties and a similar board game called resistance with friends, but forum mafia doesn't really compare. I subbed into HP, was instantly ejected from Princesses, and subbed into this game and that is my total experience for forum mafia. And, honestly, I don't think many are surprised by that. Because I can remember some terms doesn't change the fact that my bad play got me to mylo as vanilla town with everyone else suspicious of me and then opened that play by accusing the town cop. I need to remedy this bad play now and I'm pretty worried I can't.

Meanwhile, you've coasted through the game with something like 30 posts or so, yeah? Participated in maybe half of the lynches with an average result pattern, but post thoughtfully and just often enough people don't start worrying about you. This is good play for a neutral. I'll commend you on it now on the record because it may win you the game, but it is textbook. All you needed was to let some loudmouth vanilla into mylo to seal the deal.

The crowd gathered. They were in a big room in a court. A "courtroom", I guess.

There was a sense of occasion this time, anticipation hung heavy in the air. Various emotions may or may not have been on display, depending on the quality of the writing.

Things were happening, but what? And why ?

You have been disappointed by this post
Welcome Reader!

You are Not reading the real end-post

When you first saw this post on the page, you might have thought it was FEP's hotly anticipated flip. It wasn't posted by Sorian, but you still felt that little twinge of excitement as you started to read. Surely this post was going to give the answers you sought!

But alas, it was all a cunning ruse. The quote boxes, the paragraphs, the highlighted text, all for nothing.

Now, there is only disappointment

As the four squared off against each other. Decisions were made.......far to quickly. They had chosen. The answer was so obvious. The meek girl in the corner of the room. The one who had been crying only days earlier when Detective Gumshoe had died. Yes, it was her. It had to be her.

There was no longer any need for formalities. With another thunderous pop and rows of static, the girl was gone.

Welcome Maggey Byrde!

You are Maggey Byrde, Goddess of Misfortune

Your role is Vanilla Town

Unlucky in every way possible, you still find a way to be cheerful and enthusiastic in every situation. Maybe today will be the day that your luck changes! Or maybe today will be another day that someone is killed and you are blamed for it.

You do not have any actions, but you may judge your peers in the court of law (which means you can vote).

You win when all non-town players have been eliminated from the game and there is at least one town player still alive.

She truly was the goddess of misfortune. The same voice from earlier came through again.

"You will all be spending one final night here."

Diego Armando would not be making it through the night.

Welcome RedFalco!

You are Diego Armando, Vengeful Coffee Addict

Your role is Vanilla Town

Although your life will take many dark turns, today you stand as Diego Armando, a senior defense attorney at the Grossberg Law Offices. Your love for coffee is only matched by the passion that you bring to the courtroom, no matter which side you stand on.

You do not have any actions, but you may judge your peers in the court of law (which means you can vote).

You win when all non-town players have been eliminated from the game and there is at least one town player still alive.

Damon Gant walked out of his office, ready to start the day anew. As he walked toward the courtroom, the silence felt good to him. Arriving at the courtroom, he found Mia Fey sitting with her head in her hands, along with Lana, who was crying in the corner after everything that had happened. Gant, being the jolly fellow that he was, sat down next to the Mia and tried to cheer her up. However, after a bit of investigation, Gant realized the chap was actually dead. Gant smacked his own forehead. How could he have been so stupid? He killed everyone except Lana! Of course she isn't isn't going to be alive!

Matt Attack has been end-gamed.

Welcome Matt Attack!

You are Mia Fey, Spirit Mentor

Your role is the Town Blackmail Remover

Big sister to Maya Fey and mentor to Phoenix Wright, you are a skilled defense attorney, you are also dead. Due to your Fey bloodline, you are still able to commune with the living which is good because some may need the help of a spirit in their time of need.

It appears that someone is blackmailing other players in the game. Each night phase, you may PM me the command POSSESS: <playername> to possess them and help them destroy any incriminating (or embarrassing!) evidence against them. If the player is currently blackmailed, you will remove this status and all of its detrimental effects from them. You are also immune to the effects of being blackmailed. You will not be alerted if you are targeted to be blackmailed nor will you be alerted if you succeed in clearing someone else&#8217;s status effect.

You win when all non-town players have been eliminated from the game and there is at least one town player still alive.

With one final fit of laughter and applause. The image froze as a pale blue light enveloped the area.

A man stood in front of you suddenly. Stern and....disappointed?

The passed quickly as he roared into laughter.

"Well, it's a good thing this was just a test of the new system and lives didn't actually depend on this. You all were a very impatient crowd and with impatience, it's impossible to find the right perspective to find out what happened."

"You might even say the "miracle" never happen."

His laughter grew a bit until suddenly his face grew stern again.

"Thank you though. I really mean it. It looks like the MASON system is finally ready to go and just in time. The flagship trial for this program begins tomorrow."

Xamtheking and Bodhi Gaard have met their win conditions and exit the game as the neutral winners.

Welcome Xamtheking!

You are Damon Gant, District Chief of Police

Your role is the Neutral Ascetic One-Shot Bulletproof Serial Killer and Alignment Cop

An eccentric and charismatic man, you and your partner, Lana Skye, were known as the Legendary Duo and together, you both climbed through the ranks of the police department until you rose to the top after solving the most difficult case you had ever come across. Or so the story goes, truly, your career was built upon forged evidence and a murder that shook your investigation team to the core. You will stop at nothing to keep your title, no matter who you must silence.

You have the ability to investigate other players. Each night, you may PM me the command INVESTIGATE: <playername>. I will respond with either &#8220;town&#8221; &#8220;not town&#8221; or &#8220;no result.&#8221;

In addition, you may also kill one player each night by PMing me the command KILL: <playername>. You can use both of your powers simultaneously each night.

As the District Chief of Police, you are a difficult man to gain an audience with. As such, you are untargetable by any and all non-killing actions. You have also requested that an officer be stationed outside your office each night. He will absorb one kill action for you. I will let you know when your subordinate, Bodhi Gaard, is found dead (which means you are no longer bulletproof).

You win when you make up at least 50% of the player list.
Click to expand...

Welcome!

You are Bodhi Gaard, Loyal Bodyguard

Your role is the Neutral Survivor and Bodyguard

A loyal police officer employed directly by Damon Gant. You are well aware of his corruption but hey, a job is a job. What a man does in his personal time is none of your business.

Each night, you will be forced to protect Damon Gant. If he is attacked you will die in his place. This action can not be roleblocked or misdirected in any way.

You win if you make it to the end of the game alive.

GG Xam. You deserve it.

Town, we boned ourselves day 7 and then harder 8. I was super salty when I saw the last hammer, not going to lie. We also deserve it.

But it was fun.

Town, the optimal play there was to vote no lynch. Picking the killer from a pool of 3 was obviously much much more optimal than picking it from a group of 4. Would you have gotten it wrong anyway? Probably. But the chance was much better there.

You're probably right. I was so convinced that Xam had to be town though that from my perspective, it was a 50/50 chance between Falco and FEP regardless. Didn't see the point at the time (although obviously in retrospect this is incorrect.)

This is likely, although I'd like to think I at least would have entertained the possibility of you being neutral if the two of us, again, hadn't died (and I had thrown it around very lightly as a possibility in the past). Moot point though since it didn't happen.

Great work, Xam. We had you fucking pegged at the dawn of D2, but we lost that thread somehow.

Your play was so damn good (and your powers incredible + Stanley) that even after we'd semi-recovered from TWE and Salva, you were mostly town for us.

now play The Division with me

and great game, Sorian! Confetti for Gant!
