Puddle Mafia 03 - Endgame

[barmyarmy]

Crack the whip here PD. no role submitted = tough luck.

 

[puddleduck]

Will be day again tomorrow evening after work. Sorry for the delay. Everyone had submitted their roles earlier today, but I have unfortunately been in the darkest depths of a 3 player Borderlands 2 session.

So yeah, 2000 GMT tomorrow and should be back to day.

Night 1

Darkness descended on the town with no amount of undue haste. It nested in every alleyway, cuddled each corner and surrounded the streets. For some the silent anonymity nestled nicely. For others it lit the night with fresh opportunity.

She strode out, purposeful with her intentions and sure of her own seductive powers. Perhaps in other times she may have found monetary reward, but tonight her services were unrequired.

Years of training. It had been expensive and gruelling. His skills were undoubted, but tonight, perhaps they were misplaced.

He slunk around, at home as he always was when day went to rest. He had his target in mind, but confusion instead veiled his eyes.

Successful indeed. Depending on who you work for.

His voice was loud. He commanded respect amongst those that would listen, and he had ways of making sure his will was followed. Night was no friend of his though, he had always preferred the natural light of day. He had cast his vote, he had tried to influence the town, but not tonight. As he made his way home, his authoritative voice was replaced with a curdling scream. The eyes of the devil unblinking as the first steps into ordered chaos began.

Spoiler

Manly is dead. He was the Double Voter, town aligned.

It is now Day 1. With 10 alive, it takes 6 to lynch.

 

[Manly]

Goddamn it.

 

[barmyarmy]

You always seem to be DV. At least you'll get a second chance at the game

Suggests prostitute to me. Mafia blocked someone without a night role.

Years of training. It had been expensive and gruelling. His skills were undoubted, but tonight, perhaps they were misplaced.

Could be any kind of town power role. Doctor or tracker most likely imo.

He slunk around, at home as he always was when day went to rest. He had his target in mind, but confusion instead veiled his eyes.

Could suggest someone with a day role rather than a night role. Not sure at all.

Death of DV. No real clues I can see.

I'm not getting a lot out of that. Assume PD is just being less helpful than usual.

 

[puddleduck]

Heh, stay with us Manly. May need to get you to sub in for Pallu at some point during this day phase

 

[Manly]

Hoo-ah.

 

[BKB1991]

Yea the writeup is pretty cryptic which isnt helpful for the town. Agree with what Colin with mostly what he said, and would like to add:

Years of training. It had been expensive and gruelling. His skills were undoubted, but tonight, perhaps they were misplaced.

Definitely a powerful role. Could be mafia. If its talking about cop, we know he isnt insane. The word misplaced indicates there could have been a swap and we might have the Bus driver.

The second quote also includes confusion so I believe there is a strong possibility of a BD. How else can a townie be confused?

 

[Sedition]

We were closer to lynching User the survivor/mafia/sk than most of us realised

1st - Nothing much there.

2nd - Definitely seems like the prostitute targeting a non-power role.

3rd - I thought watcher/tracker at first with the years of training, but expensive suggests that it's most likely the doc.

4th - Strange one.. Maybe Day Cop or something? The confusion line and misplaced in the previous line could be something bus driver related as BKB suggested.

5th - Success for someone. Could be anything really. Bus driver if it exists, mafia or a town PR got a result.

6th - Nothing much there again.


So with 11 players starting and some role clues, I think we're looking at something like:

Mafia
Mafia
Roleblocker
Survivor?
Doc
DV
Vanilla/passive
Day Cop?
Bus Driver?
Other random PR, tracker/watcher most likely imo
And maybe another vanilla/passive role I guess, or two 3rd parties again.

Needless to say I don't trust User at all, so unless we've picked up a result, I'll probably be moving to lynch him again today and ridding any doubt about his alignment.

 

[ved_]

There's a bus driver, a roleblocker and some sort of town PR indicated in the write-up. A third party role cannot be counted out, though.
Lynch: pallu
Just to get the day rolling. I'm never in favor of people lurking around and doing nothing.
I'd lynch User if everyone agrees, though.

 

[Varun]

Coincidentally, we had a DV dead first night in the last game also.

The writeup is obscure, except for the obvious reference to the prostitute. Targeted the wrong person I guess.

Years of training. It had been expensive and gruelling. His skills were undoubted, but tonight, perhaps they were misplaced.

Doctor or Cop? Who else would need years of training? Whoever it is, apparently they've been switched by a Bus Driver. Else it is entirely possible that the person targeted didn't need them.

He slunk around, at home as he always was when day went to rest. He had his target in mind, but confusion instead veiled his eyes.

Not sure, but tracker/watcher. Again, possibility that BD is involved, but might have been blocked, although the description doesn't go well with a prostitute being the blocker.

Successful indeed. Depending on who you work for.

No idea what this means.

The last one is Manly dying.

Pallu is probably going to be replaced.

 

[Aditya]

Agree with what Barmyarmy has posted of the night write up. I'd continue with my stance on User, my views haven't changed about him during the night phase. I'd unlynch him perhaps if we've got some results.

Lynch : User

 

[Sedition]

The more I think about it, if there is a BD, then it's probably on the mafia side.

I'm sure the "years of training" is the Doc and I know PD views the BD as somewhat of a protective role from a previous game, so not sure if he'd include both on the town side.

Then the "Successful indeed. Depending on who you work for." line feels like a negative tone for someone on the town side.

I don't think it's confirmed at all that there's a Bus Driver though. The misplaced line could just be referring to the Doc not protecting the mafia's target. And the confusion for the other PR could just be an unclear result at this stage.

 

[barmyarmy]

I'm not convinced on bus driver. There is always confusion after night 1 and the word can't always be an automatic signifier (unlike seductive )
The one point I would make about User is that he's probably not SK as there was only one kill last night (unless he decided not to use the role). I think survivor is a good day 1 lynch but I'm not so sure about day 2.
I'm going to FOS Aditya as he's namechecked me a couple of times to agree with me and that always makes me suspicious.

----------

Just to add that I'm also a bit suspicious of anyone who goes straight back to the previous days lynch without casting around for new ideas first. If we spend the whole day arguing about whether to lynch User and not focusing on anyone else then all the mafia aligned players are getting off the hook.

 

[Aditya]

I agree with Barmyarmy. On a serious note, apart from User, no one really has caught my eye in doing something suspicious. I'm sure User will still be suspicious of me too and that's understandable. I haven't been sounding very convincing but I've put forward what I feel.
