Mashley
Oh crap, I forgot. We're meant to be roleclaiming, right?
peppy
But, actually, winning at this point is impossible as I'm a lyncher and my win condition is to have LadySuburu (strager) lynched. Which is practically impossible now since they're confirmed town as far as most people are concerned :\ Whatever, go lynch me since I guess I'm technically anti-town.
foulcoon
Are you expressing complete disinterest, or would you be willing to help town. Does your role confirm LS as strager, or just say that your objective is to kill strager, whoever it may be?
Mashley
LS is strager, that's confirmed in the PM. I'm willing to help the town (sort of), but I'd imagine I'm classified as an 'anti-town force'.
foulcoon
There's not really a compromise we can make becase LS is town. Its not like we'd be willing to lynch him for you to win. If you help us you understand that you have no chance to win, right?

Id really expect strager to be an independent role, but now that its confirmed we can add LS to the confirmed town list permanently.
Mashley
I never asked you to lynch him :P

so Chris' claim is looking better and better.

cool, I guess.

Chris, could you ask if in Mashley, Haneii or foulcoon there's one anti-town player?

The Lyncher is a third-party role whose win condition is to get a specific person (the Lynchee) lynched. If the Lynchee is lynched while the Lyncher is alive and on the Lynchee's wagon, the Lyncher wins. If the Lyncher dies first or the Lyncher is the only scum left in the game and the Lynchee is still alive, the Lyncher loses.

Mods have differing policies in regard to what happens if a Lynchee is nightkilled: the Lyncher may gain the pro-Town Win Condition, may become a Survivor, may change their Lynchee to whoever made that kill, or may win as if that player had gotten lynched.
So basically we leave mash alive, and if I'm NKed ever then either we gain another confirmed town / survivor, we gain a lyncher who targets the mafia, or he'll win (which I assume this game is a multi-win, but if it's not then the mafia risk losing by killing me.)


Sounds like a good situation for us.

Before I head to sleep tonight, I'm voting with both my votes. Who I'm voting depends on if we've actually got a consensus or not. If we don't, as I said before I'm voting for whoever I feel like.

@Wojjan - Thinking over what you wrote, do you mean something like: "There's exactally one anti-town player between Mashley, Haneii, and Foulcoon."?

If so, it would be better just to use "Haneii and Foulcoon are both pro-town.", since it's basically confirmed that Mashley's anti-town.
Wojjan
Oh, I forgot Mashley already claimed. Fine, go with another lurker. foul, Haneii and animask. And not "exactly one" just "one or more"
Wojjan
I kinda just wanna string up a lurker as a warning by now really. They're no use, so it's easy for mafs to lurk with them then

Agreed. I still can't read much, in part due to the inactivity of some people.

I just haven't unvoted yet, since I don't see a need to. I'm still deciding on who I think should be lynched.

To be fair, I'll give you the reasons I have my gut suspicion on you.

There are more reasons, but none of which I feel are really strong enough to post. I can decide who I think is scum based on anything I can find, generally I'll post something if I think it warrents other people looking at it.

Oh, and the other reason I waited and didn't unvote and gave virtually no reasons as to why I was voting you, was to test your reaction to my unexplained vote.
Two_old
"one or more is anti-town" is the same as "all are pro-town", only inferior since it may not pick up independent roles

with foulcoon, I don't know why day 1 he decided to vote at all, but I'm torn because I don't think town would have voted for deathxshinigami at that point (mashley is the only target that made sense)

day 2 when lilac proposed the vigilante kill deathxshinigami, he didn't even express opposition to it and instead chose to say this:
Why wouldn't a vig be able to kill DxS? He already avoided lynch somehow, are you saying he could avoid bullets too? That would be OP :S
which in my mind is encouraging a vigilante to do it

While we're on that subject, I don't see why Lilac would say those things as town... but I also don't see why they would say those things as mafia since it's bad play on both sides. I guess they were hoping for it to be done quickly.

so I'm fine with either a lilac or foulcoon lynch, but I'm sticking with my vote
akrolsmir
I'll go with Vote: Lilac, since his posts to date have been a lot less substantive than foulcoon's. It looks like he tried pretty hard to get DxS killed, but then after LS's claim he's basically said nothing. And he's failed to claim even a name at this point.

It's not a great case, but it's what I could pick up.

I must say I spent the last hour or so trying to plan how I'd dig myself out of this hole animask dug, but I actually am Rokodo the bus driver.

The first night animask switched DxS with foulcoon, if that can possibly validate my role with a few people.

I've been remotely following this thread and I have much to say. Before I voice my opinions, though, I'm going to give it a re-read.

Hi guise ^_^

Lily, come back ~

No really, I need to hear more from you >w<

I'm still suspicious of rolled because animask becoming bored/uninterested has me thinking he was mafia (already has an idea of most of the affiliations), if that makes any sense. Although that's probably a terrible/weak reason to suspect anyone.

I'm okay with the new chris statement but I'd rather have rolled replace me. I'd like to confirm rolled and foulcoun (ie: new info plz, I already know I'm town XD). meh.

pieguy1372 - no opinion

DeathxShinigami - getting lynched + silence, prob not a good reason to think he's town, but I'll wait till he comes back and gets to talk more before I decide. I don't have a reason to think he's mafia if that's a good argument? o_O
akrolsmir - no opinion
Haneii - getting a strong town vibe from her. Yup, definitely town.

I've re-read the thread from the start of day 1, and will post opinions on players in the order of which they were gathered. Some people will be left out, as I didn't feel anything said by them was too influential. This isn't necessarily a good thing.

Bolded shit is kind of important

Day 1 impressions:

NoHitter:
I enjoyed his question approach, and I don't feel his intentions were to deliberately scumpaint. If the theme of the game wasn't "corrupt BATs" then it is possible he could have been on to something. If you'd rather be mafia, you'd definitely pick users in PYP more likely to be anti-town. I can name some people with mafia-like traits to them, so usually with D1 material being so scarce, these question responses would be enough to justify a vote for me. Well played nohitter~

bmin:
Your questions, not so much. NoHitter's had apparent reason behind them, yours seem more random. Like I said though, day 1 chatter is usually minimal so I don't really blame you for attempting to start conversation, even if it was arguably off topic. His reaction to attack didn't really sit well with me, even if in my mind the attacks were somewhat unjustified.

akrolsmir:
This post where he calls out bmin was nice, and I got pro-town reads from it. I don't necessarily think speculating about setup is a scumtell, but his post influenced my opinion on bmin a little which is what he was going for.

Wojjan:
Attacked like 8 different people day 1. This may be scumtell but Wojjan tends to be more passive when mafia iirc. Kind of neutral at the time I'm writing this sentence.

Rantai:
This maaaay be grasping, but it definitely crossed my mind as I was reading this post:

Rantai wrote:

In regards to your questions: viewtopic.php?p=975713#p975713 No change.
Rantai was pro-town in the game he linked, and it seems like him referring to the questions previously answered was a forced attempt at consistent meta. It's not the fact that he didn't want to re-answer the same questions; I don't blame him, but it's how he responded that alarmed me.

Mashley:
The way I'm writing this post is I'm hopping from member to member adding shit to the list. At the time of writing, Mashley is the fifth person to stand out to me and the person giving me the most anti-town reads. Day 1, he has contributed very little of his own opinions. First, he bandwagoned on the "NoHitter is scum" train, third on board. He then rides rust's suggestion that animask's inactivity could be scummy. He was second to unvote, though that doesn't really suggest bandwagonning. I dunno, Mashley is leaning a bit on the anti-town side of the spectrum.

Okay, capping all that shit there. Those are the players that stuck out to me as of day 1. Since a lot of things changed D2, I figured it deserves a separate section.

Day 2 impressions:

Chris:
I don't like the fact at all that he voiced this information the start of D2. He could have saved it in case any of these members were in jeopardy lynched, or saved it to protect himself from being NKed/roleblocked. With chris's meta, it's safe to say that he's hardly ever a NK candidate. He really had nothing to be afraid of if he didn't post that information. There really isn't any part of me that feels Chris is mafia, however, I want to suggest that perhaps Chris can be an insane/naive variation of Two/lie detector. Two is in fact wrong a lot, and the brokenness of this role should have been apparent to faceman. I can't consider the fact that faceman/lyby would let this role be as it appears on paper, there has to be something hidden within it. Suggesting that Chris sends the following statement N2: "Chris is mafia." Opinions?

Two:
Lied about his restrictions, zzzz. I'm a firm believer in the LAL policy but it seems he had reasoning. I don't put it past Two to create this whole Q role from scratch, however I feel the likelihood of Q having a part in this game (suggesting Two doesn't hold the role) to be likely, and I know Two knows that as well. I don't think he would risk having somebody counter-claim on him. Protown.

LadySuburu:
Interesting claim. I believe we should verify it.
Since Chris seems to be confirmed town in most peoples eyes, how about you change his vote to a predetermined player? I'd then like Chris to attempt to change his vote and see if it registers. Should be an easy way to confirm LS as town, assuming you aren't lying.

Rust:
This is another post that struck me as odd. The wording just seems.. forced. Bear in mind this is heavily gut-feelingish.

Rust wrote:

I think we should see how the mafia reacts to his claim before we try to analyze it.
The "we should see how the mafia reacts" bit is just very strange wording. Not only is it an attempt to align himself with town, but it's also suggesting the mafia members are apparent, in a strangely worded kind of way. Zzz, hard to get my point across. I just don't like this post.

Okay, taking a break half way through D2. I'm almost caught up to mass-roleclaim point, which I'm looking forward to analyzing like shit. Another similar textwall will probably come within the next 24 hours.
Lilac
Hitoshirenu Shourai.

Yes, I am a BAT. However I win with town which is why I disagreed with the possible beginning of the setup before. Again, the reason I stayed quiet was because there was nothing really much to say. If animask was lazy and was Mafia because of it, I should lynch him in the other ones he was in.

To be honest, I want to hear more from you, Haneii. Dragging me out just to do this. Frowny face.

Just clarifying that that textwall does not consider the most recent posts and roleclaims. Apologies, but I ran out of steam temporarily.

Although, I have noticed most of you post regularly and I usually come back to 3 - 4 pages worth of posts after my last one, making me think I'm not posting enough and might be hurting the game. If you guys think the same I guess I can ask for a replacement - if not, I'll continue to post once every 24 and whenever else I get the chance :) [/off topic]

Sorry my previous post sounded made next to no sense so I edited it.

Anyway, I'd like to see if Mashley's roleclaim is with town or not. Considering he claimed peppy and Rolled deducting that he's anti-town.

you are the second person to use "Two is wrong a lot" as an argument against his role, and the second person to supply no evidence to support their claim

it's been practically proven by this point that he got the 4 people he listed correct, so are you honestly saying that he just got lucky?

I am against him sending "chris is mafia" because there is no reason to currently believe that his role is inaccurate, and it:
1. wastes a night of his ability
2. clears the stage for another aux to die in vain

I think Rolled didn't mean that Chris was mafia...he was just stating the Chris's role might have been that he is insane or naive which certainly puts upon the fact whether the statement he did was actually true or not. Unless Chris himself knows that he is sane.

We'd need an exact number of players voting certain other players, and there would have to be no other roles that modify votes. (Doublevoter/voteless)

Your definition of proven differs a lot from mine. I won't have confidence in his role's straight-forwardness until it's confirmed by the host in the form of either that question, or post-game role setup. How useful is the information he's providing us with if we can't be certain of its validity? Not to mention, I could WIFOM all day with "If his information is invalid, mafia won't lynch him tonight" etc etc etc. The only way to be certain is for him to ask that or a similar question. And yes, you are wrong enough to have "Naive" in front of a role modeled around yourself ^__^. Women's intuition, after all.

I have been thinking about this one for a while, I have a gut feeling that every result he gets may come out true. Perhaps a statement saying that the other players that he didn't check are pro-town might be able to verify this. (ie A, B, C etc are pro-town)

How is it weak? There's not a single person in this game that would argue how overpowered chris's role is. I give faceman and lyby a lot of credit, too much to consider that role to be straight-forward.
Two_old

Rolled wrote:

it's weak because we are arguing the strength of his role after the fact

0_o and lybydose did not know what he would state to them before the game started, and I can almost guarantee they didn't envision "these 4 people are pro-town"

even if you ignore that, you can not seriously say that it's worth throwing away an aux+an extremely informative night ability based on what the hosts may or may not have thought (unless there is solid evidence for that shown in any of 0_o or lybydose's posts)

It doesn't matter in the end though. If they find it's overpowered, they have the right to remove it without forewarning per the rules...

Rantai wrote:

If you believed that as a possibility and wanted to test it, I would go with a statement like "X is anti-town."

If it's true, we lynch X and see. (Proves sanity and potentially gives a mafia.)

If it's false then not every result is true, therefore that can't be the problem with his role.


Here's my opinion on why sanities don't work for his ability, and how we can prove they are true or not if needed.

Naive: Role is instantly useless. Proven by multiple plans, one of which I've outlined above.

Insane: Equally as broken. Test "Chris is Mafia". Once sanity is confirmed you can use the role as normal by asking the opposite question of what you wanted to ask.

Paranoid: Role is instantly useless. Impossible since Chris got a true.

Random: Role is instantly useless.

Other: I can't think of any other sanity types, and pretty much any custom ones would also make his role useless.


As for chris's role, in a situation where you're not gambling you either get a confirmed town or confirmed anti-town every night. Just like a cop. (X is pro town. 0% gamble.)

No one said anything about throwing/disregarding anything.

It won't hurt to be sure about things?

Although, I don't have any ideas on how to go about that :/. At first I thought maybe use a cop to check if he's mafia but then again, as rolled brought up, there's a possibility he could be insane. If he's insane wouldn't that mean there's a good chance there's a psychiatrist in this game? Maybe he can be cured overnight?

The host of a mafia game needs to consider all possibilities when distributing roles such as these. I realize I'm basing my logic on faceman and lyby's ability to host, but until I have a reason not to, I will continue to do so.

You're suggesting they expected Chris to send in the name of one user each night? Why wouldn't they just give him a cop role.

I know you're planning on hosting a mafia game, what would you expect as a host when designing this role? LS, how about you?
LadySuburu

Two wrote:

He's using my rules, in which this is in play:

25. I reserve the right to change these rules.

Which means any time, any place he can change the rules and the roles. (I don't expect him to, and I honestly don't change roles mid-game with that rule unless it's 100% apperent that the game can't continue properly otherwise. As in, the revivals from the old Ace of Hearts games. I would have changed the role right then and there.)

That being said, I doubt he will since I don't believe Chris's role to be overpowered. It's a gambling role that when played safe is just a cop.
Lilac

Rolled, I feel like ladysuburu just owned your argument completely but I will respond one last time to what you just said.

You're suggesting they expected Chris to send in the name of one user each night? Why wouldn't they just give him a cop role.
I think it's just to allow more flexibility. It could turn into a watcher role, or it could be whatever that role is called that says how many mafia voted for someone

and again, there is no point trying to convince people to go against facts based off of feelings you have that aren't evidenced in reality
LadySuburu

Rolled wrote:

I've partially answered this before, but I'll go into more detail here.

In a small game using this exact role, I would likely put limitations on the role. (Or not use it.) Since in a 9 man with 2 mafia, you can break the game rather easilly. I would expect someone to either use it as a Cop, or use it like "A, B, and C are town." Since you get 3 lynch attempts in a 9 man game, you would get a guarenteed mafia kill or 3 confirmed town. (Although, put into LyLo.) Or, "A and B are town." Again, you get two confirmed town or a confirmed mafia and not even in LyLo.

In a game this size, I would not limit the role. The gambles become less effective and more risky once you factor more players and neutral roles. We've already confirmed a Lyncher which is not pro-town, and we know there's likely 3 mafia. Again, used in the safest way a role like this is a cop. The more you gamble with it, the more risky it is. Although, "A and B are pro-town." Gives decent information with less sacrifice, but once you've claimed you're vulnerable. (This being said, I would have to playtest it more to understand the power of the role. I likely won't use lie detectors except in gimmick games anyway, but that's just me as a host.)


So as I've said about 3 times and I hope I've conveyed properly by now, Chris's role is not overpowered. Chris just got lucky / made a smart choice of players to choose from.

I assume that if he had gotten false, he would have narrowed it down more before claiming.

Anything else I need to explain? :D (Actually enjoying this.)
Rolled
The fact of the matter is, not everybody is 100% confident in the results Chris brings to the table. Taking an insane-test will ensure that his role is straight forward (or prove to be the opposite), thus allowing everybody to gather opinions based on the information he brings.

Your attitude towards the matter is selfish, almost as if you don't want to reveal Chris to be insane. If you wanted the best for your teammates, assuming they are town, then you would support establishing confidence for the rest of your team, even if you are 101% certain yourself.

Insane: Equally as broken. Test "Chris is Mafia". Once sanity is confirmed you can use the role as normal by asking the opposite question of what you wanted to ask.
Not equally as broken, because it requires a dummy-night to verify. The insane variation could be an attempt to balance the brokenness of the role.

Rolled
I'd also like to add @Two, you may say LS is owning my argument, however both of your reasonings are opposite. You're suggesting Chris's role is overpowered and 0_o didn't notice, while LS is suggesting the role is balanced.

You really don't care what the logic is behind something, as long as they share the same yes/no answer.
Two_old
The question isn't whether you are 100% confident in his results. It's whether you doubt them enough to sacrifice a power role & waste a night of his ability. The only reason you have is baseless speculation about 0_o and lybydose's foresight. I said I wasn't going to respond again but jeez it's like you inherited your predecessor's aversion to reading.

edit: and in regards to ladysuburu I felt he closed any holes for that argument to crawl out of

Okay, so It's almost equally as broken just takes a startup night. It still would give the results and you wouldn't claim until you had them.

As for confirming his sanity with that role, it's still a bad idea at this point. Since we're already entangled in with Chris claimed, they're going to kill him as soon as possible. Wasting a result at this point could mean wasting our only other result we'll ever get. Based on claims that have gone out and knowing myself as town (and Mashley all but confirming it with his Lyncher claim), I'm sure enough that Chris is sane that I'm willing to follow him as if it was "Follow the Cop". I'm usually the one who doesn't trust anyone (At least internally, if I show it or not.)

If we get down to the point where it becomes important to verify Chris (Days later) Then we can do so. However I'd rather not give up our main advantage at the moment when I assume he'll be dead or useless by the next day.
Rolled
Truth is, if Chris is correct, town would need to screw up a lot in order to lose a game with like 6 confirmed townies d2. However, town is destined to lose if he is in fact insane and gets lynched before he is able to prove it. There would be a 0 chance of town recovering if we base all future lynches around Chris's false information. Verifying the information is worth one less night of added information on his part, imo.

There's not much more I can argue at this point with you. The main difference here that makes it impossible for me to do so is this:

I believe based on the information that I have that Chris is sane.

You don't believe this.

Also, this statement is false and assumes we're all idiots:

However, town is destined to lose if he is in fact insane and gets lynched before he is able to prove it. There would be a 0 chance of town recovering if we base all future lynches around Chris's false information.
Assuming we get to a point where things are that dire or almost that dire, we'd then consider rethinking the information. This is also not counting any other auxes we may have that can gather information. (Day before LyLo, for example.)

If we halt the information gathering now, we lessen our chances to win instead of basically guarenteeing them.

If we HAD to test a statement to confirm his sanity, I would test "Mashley is anti-town." He's claimed Lyncher, so if False Chris is insane. If True we verify his claim AND Chris's sanity. I still think it's a waste, but it's more productive than what you've suggested IMO.

Would neutral count as anti-town? And even if he did come up anti-town, he still could be lying about being a lyncher. I don't really think it's productive

Neutral, which a Lyncher is not, is not anti-town. However, even if he's lying about being a lyncher then he would be mafia or SK. We have to lynch him later anyway, and the sanity confirmation would still stand.

You could do "Mashley is not pro-town." and that would take care of Neutral. He would have absolutely no reason to claim what he did as town.

Again, I'd rather not waste the detect, but it's more useful.
Two_old
yeah but the thing is we already know he isn't pro-town, so it's the same as chris sending "chris is mafia"
Rolled
There's plenty of things more efficient than what I suggested that still prove Chris's (in)sanity. I just offered the baseline, expecting others to expand upon it.

I probably won't be able to read this entire thread and come up with a vote I feel satisfied with by the end of D2 (assuming that's in like 14 hours) I have to go to bed now, and have a shit ton of homework due tomorrow which I need to do before class.

I have a lot I'd like to add regarding the mass roleclaim thing, just don't really have the time to do it. Just going to hope that I see day 3.

True, I guess. Of course If he's neutral he's of no harm to us and should've claimed so anyway as opposed to claiming an anti-town role. Based on that, "Mashley is anti-town." would still be better IMO. Unless there's another reason it wouldn't work?
Two_old
well myyyyyy opinion is that we wasted way too much time talking about something that excuses mafia from posting

I still think a foulcoon lynch is the best way to go, and I think we should stop focusing on the least likely among us (like I said pages and pages ago)
LadySuburu

That's likely true.

Mind reminding me why specifically you think foul should be lynched? I'm considering him as a lynch but he's not at the top for me.
Rolled
Lynching foulcoon was something I planned on suggesting once I eventually caught up on the thread. Once I read the theme, I couldn't imagine him picking anybody other than BATs (or ex-bats, something along those lines ((awp, ival, seibei, rolled))

I bet I got at least 2/3 correct foul.

Combine that with his passive behavior. From memory, I recall him being more aggressive when having a pro-town role.
Two_old
here you go
SPOILER
with foulcoon, I don't know why day 1 he decided to vote at all, but I'm torn because I don't think town would have voted for deathxshinigami at that point (mashley is the only target that made sense)

day 2 when lilac proposed the vigilante kill deathxshinigami, he didn't even express opposition to it and instead chose to say this:
Quote:
Why wouldn't a vig be able to kill DxS? He already avoided lynch somehow, are you saying he could avoid bullets too? That would be OP :S

which in my mind is encouraging a vigilante to do it
I think ivalset has a high likelyhood of being a mafia role, and I think his claim to be ivalset was done to be used as a tool to keep him from being lynched

a vote against him, for some reason, rattled him enough to post awkardly on his phone from work:

|Sorry guys I spent the holiday with my family and I wasn't able to follow the thread.

Right now the top two people I find suspicious are DxS and LunaticMara. DxS for claiming to have some awesome role and not posting after LS practically explained that it was possible DxS did nothing to affect the vote..|

1. I think a player of your caliber would know that deathxshinigami wasn't mafia and that lunaticmara missing that is actually a town tell

2. you are extremely likely to have picked 1 or more BATs for your role choices

oh and I honestly would rather one of these lurkers voted so they have a reason to talk, unvote, vote: foulcoon
well for someone who wanted to pressure lurkers, you didn't and haven't been doing much pressuring

and was it really coincidence that you were online such a short amount of time from my vote for you, or do you normally just opt not to post (and thus opt not to contribute to town)?

and again, how can you say you wouldn't pick bats when I almost can't imagine you not picking them? want to share who you did pick? for full disclosure, I picked quaraezha animask and bmin11
all of these quotes are of me btw
LadySuburu
Mmk, that's good enough reason for me when combined with how I already felt. I'll save the other players for analysis tomorrow. Wanted to know semi-quickly since I'm basically done with the thread for tonight which means day'll likely end before I see it again. I'll be sending in my hidden vote as well.

Vote: Foulcoon

The first night animask switched DxS with foulcoon, if that can possibly validate my role with a few people.
So what you're saying is that I was the silence target and DxS isn't quite as obvious town as before. Thanks Rolled <3

Also Ivalset is not a fucking BAT guys. You're making a mistake.
Lilac
Well guess what? I'm a BAT and I'm with town.

Considering that I'm the only one claiming BAT, I don't think the Mafia is consisting of just pure BAT.

That or people are lying about their roles.

Bus driver only applies to night actions, and DxS was silenced mid-day.

Regardless of if Ival is a BAT or not, I still see you as scummy. Lying about a claim is easy.

Lot of things happened while I was asleep woah :o

As much as I hate how this vote will look like a bandwagoning, I can't find a reason why I shouldn't vote for. I was planning on voting for Lilac, but his "Well guess what? I'm a BAT and I'm with town." seems like it will be him or another situation. Lilac's respond should be what foulcoon should have said if Lilac is telling the truth.

Vote: foulcoon

tl;dr

Haneii also claimed to be a BAT (Shinxyn) if this ever helps



Anyway, just made a list of people of whatever it could be used for

Town:
Two, LS, Wojjan, Chris, Rolled, DeathxShinigami (still could be independent, but atlease not with mafia), rust45

No standings:
Mara, pieguy, akrolsmir, foulcoon, bmin11, Rantai, Haneii, Lilac

Anti-Town:
Mashley

Claimed BAT:
Wojjan, Haneii, Lilac
pieguyn
oh wow, there were 3 new pages of posts since I last checked the thread o.o

I personally think Haneii is more suspicious than foulcoon. For whatever reason, I have a gut feeling foulcoon isn't mafia, and I already said I'm suspicious of Haneii because he's neutral on everything. For this reason, I'm not going to vote foulcoon. :?

inb4foulcoon is mafia

not voting for foulcoon is the same as voting for him at this point

Why did he have to wait for someone to post then? I'm pretty sure he got silenced at night OR (less likely) he got silenced before he posted at all.
Two_old
why did who have to wait for who to post?

we don't know what order the events actually happened in

due to pm delay I would say that it's possible he was silenced before he actually posted

it's also possible for it to have a delayed effect

and also possible that he silenced himself to make himself seem town
