That doesn't answer my question. Are you one of the PCs from the board game?
This is an interesting question, with a potentially interesting answer. I don't feel it can be as simple as player characters comprise the town, non-player characters are neutral/mafia.
The first paragraph does not relate to the haunt, it was essentially a PGO room, which you do get in the actual game as well -- rooms that hurt you or cause you to take damage. That, or it was an 'event' that was played. The haunt is --quite obviously so-- the bottom paragraph. There is the betrayal. So, I don't know why you think the first paragraph is the haunt.
C'mon man. I remember the LSAT and reading comprehension is substantial. You just glazed my comment.
I never said that section was her haunt. I said knowing specific peoples' haunts and that section heavily focusing on things that appear in her haunt - from the boardgame - and bio, it makes me feel that's Miss Perfect appearing and not Jenny the Soccer Player who wouldn't care as much about certain mentioned details.
I fully agree the bottom is the initiation of the Haunt and hardly any clues other than it's one where the Traitor works to help kill off the rest of the group as opposed to "escape the floating house".
Kind-of feel a lot of what's being said about people vs monsters are similar to discussions from earlier in the phase. Not sure if it's people chiming in or chewing time. Probably both.

My personal breakdown:
We started with 19
12 of those were the "investigators"
7 are monsters or maybe sentient "items" like Madman
1 of the 12 became a Traitor and adamical appears to have been an investigator too
We are now 10 Investigators vs 1 Traitor and some monsters (pro-Haunt) and maybe a couple Neutral "sentients".

It means you're a baboon, and I am not.
PC? No, I'm really more of a Mac guy. Never cared much for that other one, either, penguins give me the creeps. Also don't truck much with that droid nonsense... ain't replacing me with no robot duplicate, no sir. Never catch me holding up one of them glowy things to my ear to let them steal my brainwaves. That's how they get ya, you know, stealing your brainwaves and reprogramming you. Matter of fact... what's to say you're not one of them? Are you a robot?! Stay 'way from me, I like my flesh and bones!
Seems like people are assuming the haunt is one from the game. I'm not positive that assumption really holds true. After all, if this was really the same as the game, chances are the haunt wouldn't have been triggered for another couple of nights. And also we wouldn't have monsters before the haunt, which clearly showed up N1 (or Phase 1b, whichever). So my guess is this is more of an interpretation of the game into a mafia setting, rather than a direct port with voting and phase mechanics added in.
That may seem obvious, but so far people haven't really been playing like it...
It does seem obvious, although I am unfamiliar with the game. That the game-familiar people are assuming this will closely mirror the board game seems noteworthy, even if it's just likely an informational bias.

11. Professor Longfellow
12. Father Rhinehardt
Thank you. Can I assume that the even number characters I are the flip side of the prior odd number?

1 is hearsay. There are other possibilities.

With last night's write-up, I don't think that's the case here, but I don't think we can assume 12 PCs or that they're automatically town. He did say this would be heavily experimental, after all. Maybe there's 6 PCs and everybody else started neutral, only forming a mafia once the haunt was decided. Maybe there's 12 PCs and one is a traitor who joined a predetermined mafia. Maybe the traitor just became a SK, joining a bunch of neutral SKs unleashed after the haunt.
tl;dr version: I think it's funny people are already trying to meta a "highly experimental" game where the only death was janitored.
See, Gfish is pushing on you as whether you're one of the 12. I Read this as you saying you're neutral and not of the non-6. Still, very noteworthy read. (Also entirely possible that it's off-base.)
Agreed on the meta-ing, not that it clears you in any way. That actually comes across as a knee-jerk reaction to the pressure and seems more defensive than needed.

Poor night, busy day, but I'm caught up. Not sure what to make of Vlad and Rokk's back and forth, other than I sort of agree with points on both sides.
For what it's worth, I think that Vlad's reaction to pressure is fairly consistent with his town play, and linkoritits that develops when he's pressured.

Although you get rep for reminding me of those old Mac vs. PC commercials, I think this is a problematic response to pressure. It's almost too risky for a Mafia play and may well meta-clear you, but I don't like it.
Let's hear some more.

Not really a fan of that little boy though. Irritating. Much prefer the mouse with the hat. Tall and pointy. And the brooms! Be nice to have them in here. Always tripping over stuff. Filthy, this place.

Here's the thing: the Madman comes in two forms. One is an omen / "sentient item". The other is various Haunts are aided by Madmen monster obstacles.
He needs to say more than just play around and eating the time counter.
