Ashes to Ashes Mafia - Endgame (SK win)

A reminder as well that you can't quote your role PM. If you are claiming you can use your character name and role but you must paraphrase the rest.

So the fact you were blocked automatically means I'm the third party? Right ok then.

Umm, no. The part where the write-up said,

"She was rightly suspicious, blah blah"

is what makes me think you're either a Mafia goon or a serial killer.

That was user.

If you were blocked and didn't get a night result you wouldn't then get a result in the write-up. that's not how the game works.

 

[Varun]

Who are you, not what? What's your character isn't the same as what's your role.

Yes, yes. I did add I'm Gene Hunt.

----------

I'm rather sure I'm an insane/paranoid cop, but if I ain't then CG and Abhas are guilty.

 

[Manly]

Oh Simon. Simon Simon Simon.

----------

Still no sign of a WC post. Maaaaaan how on earth did you lot put up with me?! Haha!

Varun, investigate me tonight and I'll be able to tell you what type of cop you are pal.

Sit tight boys, big post coming up.

 

[Manly]

Here we go y'all. I think Simon and ste are the mafia team. Observe

Lynch: WC

I don't see why he lynched Ste for no reason. Followed by a poor defense when accused of acting strange. He's probably trying to joke around so people don't think he's scum.

This was after WCs weird lynch on ste... little bit of gentle defense right there, nothing too over the top but still defense nonetheless

The first para indicates a tracker/cop and a roleblocker I think..



Judging by the write-ups of both days, I think we're dealing with a tracker/cop who's possibly a female. She probably was roleblocked last night, but had suspicion on the right person.

Two possible outcomes in the third and fourth paras:

1. A doctor correctly saved someone from being killed, and a serial killer took User.
2. User was a bodyguard who took the bullet for another person.

We'll revisit this later, someone has already put him straight.

I don't think we have enough to lynch of WC. My read is pretty cold, he could be literally anything and with losing a cop early i'm not sure we can afford to lynch off a town power role.

However it does smell a little bit like his mafia teammate has told him to be quiet as he has been giving it away so i'm erring on the side of suspicion. Maybe his teammate has said to check with him before posting anything, but hasn't been active much? maybe someone like Simon.

in fact I've just realised I have no idea who Simon actually is. Presumably it's a reasonably recent name change, so I'm going to lynch him on the basis I don't like being confused.

lynch simon

Jokey lynch as is ste's wont. But the key bit for me is the whole 'teammate has been told to be quiet, and Simon to this point had been quiet due to inexperience.

I'm pretty sure that's a pressure lynch from Ste on me. I really don't get how "confusing him" earns me a lynch. I haven't kept that quiet - I've already posted by views on the write-up yesterday and the only thing I haven't done is post another time other than that.

Btw, I think the "larger than life" character may be the person who liked to make an entrance in the first write-up. There's a possibility the cop/tracker tracked a third party role and was role-blocked. She had the right suspicion, meaning it was a mafia or a serial killer. I'm sure there's a third party role given the third and fourth paras.

No it's a 'here's us not being teammates' lynch which nicely sets up:

Yep i'm genuinely a bit suspicious of simon now, his response to my joke lynch was pretty unnecessarily prickly, he clearly didn't have to defend himself about it.

I think as town if we are to lynch someone today (which i'm not particularly for or against as i see good reasons for both) I think our best bet would be to work together. It'd be easier to get a lynch if we agree to the idea of lynching anyone as a group and then pick someone to lynch; if we try to target people and argue to lynch them off from scratch we won't really get anywhere.

Lynch Manly

I mean, it's only a matter of time before he comes online drunk and spoils everything anyway. May as well get rid of him.

This was after I blocked him last night, and the kill.

Generally yes. If you can't though it will say in your role pm that you can't. Even then you can still lie though.

Nice hint.

Good.

So, my character is Ashley Kerekes with a tracker role who checks timelines to know who everyone's up to. A reference to that is quite evident in the write-up in Day 3. I tracked someone, who wasn't around anyone.

In Night 1, I tracked Manly, but I was supposedly role-blocked. From the write-up back then, I gathered that I was rightly suspicious of Manly. He's probably the possible third-party role everyone was talking about then, and I'd be inclined to lynch him off.

I was suspicious of him from the beginning, with his inactivity and excuses, and also his lynches on WC.

lynch: Manly

I didn't know about this role claim thing.

*add before before the fullstop.

There we have it, gents. Ste and Simon.

If it was me who was blocked I wouldn't know it was you who had done it. It was another joke lynch fired off for no reason.

But i think you've revealed yourself here somewhat. You've told varun to investigate it you which will confirm what he is, as if you're mafia you're clearly going to give a negative result, 3 mafia seems excessive so you can pass it off as he's a paranoid cop (even if he might be paranoid cop it doesn't matter)

and you're frustrated at your night kill not getting through you've gone impatient and tried to make up for it by getting town players lynched.

Not sure who you're working with as golden bullet theories don't really work out.

 

[Manly]

The fact you've entered into dialogue with me says I've got you rattled. I'm Ian Botham the town drunk, ergo the role blocker.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

Not really. that's just a rehash of what i said to simon.

Only it's not really valid as you've actually made sincere accusations. Convenient you've claimed that not long after I speculated it could be a role (i'd have guessed flintoff though due to the pedalo incident and that video of him with the tie)

----------

Although if you are actually the town drunk and you did target me like you say re-read the top paragraph of the write up and come back if you still think you stopped me performing a night role.

 

[Manly]

Why do you think I opened with the post I did?

 

[Varun]

what? This seems nonsensical buddy.

I'm not completely supporting Manly, but it's weird how Ste and Simon chose to ignore my claim, which is arguably one of the most important roles, especially considering I've got two people guilty.

Btw, Ste is right that he wouldn't know you blocked him if he was mafia, but if your claim is true (I guess I do believe you), that simply means you blocked him, that is the kill was blocked.

But there's that bit in the writeup which seems to imply poisoning, and it may have been the case...

Abhas, the_don, CG where have you disappeared?

 

[ste_mc_efc]

"He decided to challenge the man to a drinking contest. Of all the people he could have picked this was the one adversary who was too strong for him. Before he passed out he heard them say ?so, will you have another then??

You challenged me to a drinking contest, (by targeting me) but i was "too strong" so it failed/was ineffective.

So either a) I carried out my night role anyway

or b) It was wasted as I don't have a night role.

there is no chance that you blocking me is what stopped the kill. it's there in the write-up. there must be another role-blocker or bodyguard and that's what stopped the kill.

also the 2nd line of the write-up, "he was in demand tonight" could it not be that (assuming you did target me) I was targeted by something else? Not sure. Maybe you targeting me saved me from the kill as well? speculation. as i have no idea.

what? This seems nonsensical buddy.

I'm not completely supporting Manly, but it's weird how Ste and Simon chose to ignore my claim, which is arguably one of the most important roles, especially considering I've got two people guilty.

I haven't ignored your claim. I mention it in the bit you quoted.

My point was that Manly has told you to investigate him, as that will prove whether you are paranoid or nor. But if manly is mafia you get a guilty verdict, which will "prove" you are paranoid, even if you are not.

 

[Manly]

How else do you explain then, that I've blocked you last night and no kill is effected? Let me guess, a bus driver?
