Yeah, let's close the day early. Good plan, monster.

I've been running back and forth all morning. I'll tally up claims in a bit. But if Nifty is lying, then we're already looking at a claim being a lie, so aren't we to the right number yet?

Will recount. But tell me why I didn't kill you last night and I'll agree to not boost my kill on you tonight.

No need for name calling.

Anyway,

1. Stranger doesn't close this thread until 9 - 10 PM EST.
2. There is no vote threshold shenanigans. So 3/4 isn't a hammer.

I survive one nightkill because I'm a previous game survivor.

Didn't tell the others. Got Link to waste his doctor on me.

I'd love to tell you it's cause we're buddies but the fact is, if I had been hit earlier, last night, Inferno would have been cursing you for killing me after I saved you from the Brood.

Characters vs claims

JoH - Inferno (active in writeup)
IR - Boneyard (semi active in writeup, also vouched for by me)
Space Jawa - Gangles (active in writeup)
RP- Reaper (active in writeup)

Those claims are true. LocknLoad and Antispawn have not been claimed.

CaptainNifty claims Bullet Bill, an obvious lie.
Darkstone claims to be the ice guy who showed up one time on night 3 only.

LocknLoad is an illusionist.

I'm town.

I can give you a list of my full targets in an hour.

I can't push people in front of myself. I asked Stranger that a couple of nights ago.

You played a damn good game, Nifty. When I asked who everyone trusted most, I'd have said Raven because of the one shot so I said nothing. I'd have said RP (who I briefly doubted today after Darkstone's claim) because he hinted Reaper. I only caught it once when he said Hi Rose to Grinner but I didn't want to give that away. So I'd have probably said you.

Claims aside, I totally beleived you were town and your "you always think I'm mafia and you're always wrong" really got me to doubt myself.

Kudos.

But you're mafia.

Something is bugging me. We have seen Desperado make a kill, but he's almost certainly an Npc. Could one of Lock or Spawn be in that same vein? A smokescreen and a way to incorporate more characters in to the story?

Fair enough.

I'm just desperate to end this game with a win. You know how I get when it's (or I think it's) end game.

Yeah, I think you're mafia. Yeah, I think my best chance of getting a win (both in terms of getting a town win and in actually surviving to be a part of it) is to convince RP that you're mafia.

No, you weren't rushing the day. I regretted posting that thought the second I hit send.

Do you prefer demon to monster? I'm assuming you were more likely to repick Antispawn than Lock. Though if you picked Psyonix, you could have gotten either.

Maybe but Deadhawk is already what appears to be a Suiciders NPC.

I hope lynching Nifty ends the game but I gotta believe there's a forth Suicider.

Or Cypress could have been a traitor. Not sure if his autopsy busts that theory or not.

I was going to say the same for you.

Here are my targets, so that when my autopsy shows I'm telling the truth any remaining non-scum can use it as they see fit.

I've never been a pusher before, so I don't know really how to play that role, but I'll also explain why I did what I did each night.

Once again JoH has lead a valiant but misguided effort against a townie (unless of course he's scum in which case it is not misguided).

N1: pushed gfish in front of I_R because I didn't want anyone to take the gfish up on his offer.

N2: pushed JRS4 in front of MSU because at the time I trusted MSU and JRS4 hadn't said much so I thought he might be expendable.

N3: Pushed Linkor in front of JoH. Trusted Jack the most and felt Linkor was hinky.

N4: Pushed JRS4 in front of Afrcngy. Af had claimed cop and JRS4 had been active so I figured I could protect the cop and potentially kill scum.

N5: Pushed Space Jawa in front of JoH. JoH was the only one I trusted at this point and Space Jawa seemed like as good a target as anyone.

N6: Pushed Bob in front of JoH. I still didn't know who to trust, but knew JoH was a big target since the person who lowered lynch threshold (which I figured for a mafia power) had tried to target JoH meant JoH was likely not scum. I didn't necessarily trust bob, but I didn't know who else to trust.

Let me stop you there. I don't actually know how you get at end game. I don't actually recall playing too many games with you in which we are both still alive at end game.

Based on your claim of traitor, I can understand this.

That being said. I don't buy it.

I think you are the remaining member of the Brood. I think that your "veteran" bonus includes the ability to not have to make a night kill. Or there is some other effect in your power set that allowed this scenario to occur.

I do agree with you that Nifty is a Suicider. However, I think he is Hellspawn & Lock duo character or one of them is an NPC. So lynching either of you is a good move.

However, you are the best choice. The town can't risk keeping you alive a night longer with a double misdirect which will screw around with our vig targeting or a reduced lynch threshold on a townie. If it's -3, then that's an instant lynch. We take you out now, and RP takes out Nifty tonight.

Game over, town wins.

Change Vote: JackofHearts

You can call me anything you like, but don't call me late for dinner.

Looking back at the stuff surrounding the Linkor vote and the way Nifty is wording his actions now, I'm starting to have second thoughts about lynching him and that Jack is actually a traitor like he claims. It's starting to read less like Jack went on Linkor because he thought he was scum and more like he went on him because he saw the writing on the wall and wanted to look town-ish.

That said, the write-up seems to help support his claim, what with talk about killing the King and Queen.

Vote: Remove Vote

I'll come back and put a new vote on him later if we don't have anything better before the day ends, though.
