Magician's Mafia: The Hypnotists, Game Over

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Vote: Black Mist

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Fine.

Unvote, vote: dana

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Guys, maybe I was confused, but I thought we had 2 very obvious suspects in dana and Black Mist today (like you had Razgriz yesterday) and it would just be a matter of deciding which of the two to lynch. Am I missing something or is this town just inept?

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

It looks like sincere fearmongering to me too - the theory is too ridiculous for me to believe dana believes it.

Time for a hammer.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

What the hell are you on about with these splits? And who is CEG?

P.S.

Vote: SpyreX

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Cog, you were steamshovel right?

Yarr.

Does anyone else think Antihero's #600 could be a triggering?

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

DGB, I'd have voted more often and more generously if I had been in the game longer. That's just a defining trait of my playstyle.

SpyreX is still scum by the bye.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

And results.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

You do realize MPR claiming his results would've been a good thing, Toogeloo?

Going to do a re-read as soon as possible and reconsider my suspicions.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

I finished my re-read, but I don't feel all that much wiser. I'll probably do some ISOs later.

I did note all the relevant quotings (I excluded the ones that had the nightkilled as quotee and ones that had flipped townies as quoters):
Day 1:
Toogeloo quotes DGB
CES quotes Ellibereth
Razgriz quotes MehPlusRawr

Day 2:
Razgriz quotes MehPlusRawr
Katsuki quotes Ellibereth & Toogeloo

Day 3:
GhostWriter quotes dana

Day 4:
Anti quotes Toogeloo
DGB quotes CES, SpyreX and Toogeloo
Tasky quotes DrippingGoofball

Which seems to show we're missing something. Day 3 is especially puzzling.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Each night, you may talk with your partners. You may collectively choose a single Hypnotist to hypnotize a single player who is not a part of your group. You will direct that player to kill a player other than himself or herself (unless you happen to target a particularly weak-willed individual).

I hadn't noticed it before but hypnosis is supposed to be the default way of killing according to this sample PM.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

What I conclude from the quotes is that the scum have some means of killing which don't require hypnosis. Night 2's no-kill suggests Katsukitown, Night 4's kill could well be due to Antihero quoting Toogeloo so that suggests Toogelootown.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Ugh. I really need to get more sleep. I feel stupid.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

I agree with Toogeloo. There do appear to be too many information roles.

Reading DGb's iso, she seems to think Anti was town earlier. Considering she votes for him without qualms later, I have to question that early read. Add to that the thinking Fate had been hypnotised and the claimed information role and I'm willing to

Vote: DrippingGoofball

.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Then vote for DrippingGoofball.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Scroll up.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

I totally am voting for you and I'm about as active as most people currently. Nice try though.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Why did you target people you found suspicious, DGb? I mean, I can see an argument for targetting likely lynches, but certainly Tasky wasn't one.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Katsuki obviously misunderstood your general statement about a lying PR as a specific statement about DGb.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

DGb supposedly clears Tasky. That makes Tasky a bad lynch. I don't see why DGb is not today's lynch.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Well, it shouldn't make your head spin. If DGb flips town, we'll know Tasky is too, so we should lynch DGb first, even if I think it likely that DGb isn't town.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

We only need 3 to lynch at deadline, Tasky.

And I don't feel like claiming.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Fine, Tasky. I'm just a Magician. (Oh hey, this doesn't change a thing. What a surprise!)

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Toogeloo, your question to the mod is answered in the rules. First come, first served. As it currently stands, DGb will be lynched instead of Katsuki since DGb has been at 3 votes for a while now whereas Katsuki hasn't.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

10.) If you notice there has been a lynch, stop posting.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Hmm. Not what I was expecting. I don't believe both Toogeloo and DGb are telling the truth simply for balance reasons. Katsuki's role could also explain the lack of death N2 (or N3, I don't remember). Shame she didn't get to claim the results.

Honestly, I could totally picture Toogeloo + Ellibereth currently.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

That post 858 does look significant. We should probably have a mass claim right now.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Claiming doesn't take long, Elli.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Assuming nothing crazy is going on, yes.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Please elaborate, DGb.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

I agree with SpyreX that DrippingGoofball is the play. The amount of PRs is just too much (and the hypnosis mechanic doesn't help the scum either) and I have to trust Katsuki when it comes too Toogeloo. DrippingGoofball's claim of targetting me threw me off at the beginning, but she's smart enough to make the play.

Before we lynch though, I want to ask Toogeloo about her RB. Have you used it yet? If you haven't, please declare who you'll be using it on next night (assuming we lynch correctly since then there's only one scum left). That way you can clear someone even while dying.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Did you even read my post, Toogeloo?

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

It's almost as if we've had an extra PR flip in the meantime that would've caused SpyreX to change his mind, isn't it, DGb?

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Since you've already used your rb, no-lynching sounds good. But we have to be a whole lot more careful with our votes tomorrow.

Unvote, vote: no-lynch

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Don't pretend you didn't notice Toogeloo's unvote, SpyreX.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

I don't see why you're so opposed to no-lynch, DGb. If you're telling the truth about your role, then you'll get an extra night of actions to work with.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Elli wasn't dead yet, DGb. (Proof: neither I nor Elli was voting for Elli.)

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Well, Toogs, look's like it's up to us to decide this. It really would help if I were able to get a read on either of SpyreX and DrippingGoofball.

So, who do you think is scum?

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

I've given it a good amount of thought and I'm going to side with Toogs here.

Vote: SpyreX

P.S. I blame Katsuki if Toogeloo is the final scum.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Yarr.

Vote: DGB

P.S. I blame Katsuki if Toogeloo is the final scum, as mentioned previously.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

...

No one stopped to think about there being 2 townies with roleblocking powers was rather unprobable after I flipped?

I hate deadline lynches. I hadn't banked on dying the day I died, and never was able to make a post summing up my thoughts on the game and players.

You don't appear to have questioned it.

DrippingGoofball, I don't think I played well but I would've been all over Toogeloo if not for Katsuki's declaration that he prevented the N2 death:

Toogeloo's is virtually confirmed, as he prevented N2 death.
