Beautiful game Hinckley, totally up to your usual high standards! I loved the wild setup, especially since I hadn't played Chapter 1. And we can debate to no end whether the setup was balanced or not, I think it could have turned very differently had Town had just a bit more luck. With the number of variables, I guess it's just a wildly unpredictable setup, rather than an unbalanced one. And I'm not saying this because Scum won! Besides, the Trickster totally deserved the win too, I can't imagine what it means to be playing such a complicated role. Congratulations to Pandora, you really had us guessing up until the end!

Color me tempted... but the way this is going the Forest God up there is probably preparing Hidden Compulsive Stump roles for everyone next round. Umm.. Isn't that the point of this game?

Would I get a nice role tomorrow?

Are you suggesting that you're not the Trickster? But yes I think Bus Driver is a crappy action to get on night One when there's hardly any clue about alignments. Being forced to used it can actually be detrimental, and indeed look at the trouble it got me into. On the other hand it somewhat cleared Gilford, although until I'm proven Town it could still be debated. I'm sure you would miss me, but don't fret, I'm not going to let you win this one so easily. Vote : Benicia Bear

You know, we really are getting closer to that ultimate Mafia game where Hinck hosts and plays all the roles.

Roger that. Be careful though.

I bet you're dying to show us.

Not before she answers some questions. Like why she always gives me stupid roles. I see what you did there.

How? I don't even know who Scum is anymore. Except for Corrina gloating there. Wasn't she investigated by Holbrook?

It's all gibberish. It's time for VOTING PATTERN ANALYSIS. Day 1 Mobley Mouse: 6 (Hyacinth Hippo, Corrina Cow, Benicia Bear, Caladon Crocodile, Bixby Bunny, Emeric Elephant) Hyacinth Hippo: 2 (Marlowe Monkey, Leatrix Lamb) Gilford Goat: 4 (Parvani Poodle, Franczeska Fox, Holbrook Horse, Shainen Sheepdog) Bartosz Bulldog: 1 (Gilford Goat) Rutherford Raccoon: 1 (Bartosz Bulldog) Non-voters: 2 (Mobley Mouse, Rutherford Raccoon) Day 2 Marlowe Monkey: 1 (Holbrook Horse) Franczeska Fox: 1 (Bartosz Bulldog) Hyacinth Hippo: 2 (Leatrix Lamb, Benicia Bear, Shainen Sheepdog) Rutherford Raccoon: 5 (Emeric Elephant, Hyacinth Hippo, Marlowe Monkey, Corrina Cow) Emeric Elephant: 1 (Rutherford Raccoon) Shainen Sheepdog: 1 (Gilford Goat) Leatrix Lamb: 1 (Bixby Bunny) *This vote appears to have been made after the end of the Day. Non-voters: 2 (Franczeska Fox, Parvani Poodle) Day 3 Franczeska Fox: 8 (penalty, penalty, penalty, Emeric Elephant, Hyacinth Hippo, Rutherford Raccoon, Marlowe Monkey, Bartosz Bulldog) Parvani Poodle: 3 (penalty, penalty, penalty) Hyacinth Hippo: 7 (Benicia Bear, Holbrook Horse, Leatrix Lamb, Corrina Cow, Franczeska Fox, Gilford Goat, Shainen Sheepdog) Emeric Elephant: 1 (Parvani Poodle) Non-voters: 0 Day 4 Marlowe Monkey: 7 (Gilford Goat, Benicia Bear, Corrina Cow, Leatrix Lamb, Emeric Elephant, Holbrook Horse, Parvani Poodle) Benicia Bear: 1 (Marlowe Monkey) Leatrix Lamb: 1 (Shainen Sheepdog) Non-voters: 0 The conclusion is obvious: if we don't vote for Scum, we're not going to lynch Scum. Oh and Franczeska was totally screwed by Town.

FTFY

Nothing. Ask your Trickster pal for details, did they give it out? And why, or why not?

Such a big deal nobody thought anything of it until it became convenient to do so because you're running out of excuses to lynch more Townies? Yup, I got shite for night actions, I wasn't privy to the backstage conversations leading to the wrong people being night killed, the wrong people being lynched, and the wrong people being watched, investigated, bombed and pumpkined. And I'm the Scum orchestrating all this deceit? Open your eyes FFS. All this time and all these roles for nada, perhaps the answer lies in who has the information and what it is used for. Last night there was a Ghoul role, a Huntsman role, a Vig role, yet all the deaths were on Town's side. It's becoming clear to me that whoever the Trickster is, they're collaborating with Scum and giving them the choice roles so that they can presumably win together. So I'm looking at you who argue that we shouldn't concern ourselves with the Trickster, he's on our side and yada yada. I'm starting to understand how we got here today with our backs to the wall. Such an anti-Town comment. Maybe you should take the time, there's plenty of that left. You're probably the Trickster, and you're definitely screwing the game for us. Yep. We've been played all along, believing that the Trickster would for some vague reason would favour Town in their role distribution. Had they really, we wouldn't be here today. Yeah, won't anyone think of the poor children Scum?

Assuming that you and Corrina who you just investigated are really Town, which is not in any way confirmed, then my take is the following: Gilford can't be Scum based on the Night 1 attempt to kill him, so he must be the Trickster. The only Scum left are Leatrix and Benicia. BUT my initial assumption can easily be false. Okay, so at the very least you didn't kill Shainen while you were commuting. Unless I was blocked and you didn't commute at all. Or you investigated Corrina and killed Shainen. It's all empty speculation. What bussing incident?

Clearly, we're all being led to the slaughterhouse one by one like... lambs. The only good thing about it is that we're still playing. With 6 players, are there only two Scum left? Three Scum means we're tied for votes if the Trickster stands on our side... Is that workable? In case anyone is interested, I tried sending a Dwagon Bewwy Wub to Benicia last night, but was unsuccessful.
