Espionage Mafia - Game Thread [Concluded]

[Yakostovian]

Tak is one of those players that always looks a tad suspicious because he plays by his own strange set of rules. I'd like to compare him to someone else, but you know.

Sorry? How am I not registered as voting and I made a vote two posts above the update post?

Sorry, Arakhor.

You can expect some placeholder flavour again.

Vote: GenMarshall

I dont even think he is scum, and scum is probsbly hiding in the bandwagon already, but we cant really afford a lurker. Says me.

 

[pzelda]

Deadline
After beating him to death, you find out that GenMarshall only had a gun shaped gun and a cigar in his pocket. No silenced weapon.
He was:

Firewall
You're aligned with town. You win by eliminating all spies.
As long as you're alive, all information powers (all scanning abilities) are blocked.

It's night. Send in your actions.

 

[Arakhor]

These are certainly some unusual abilities.

 

[Takhisis]

I didn't make it online until this time of RL day, so how off/on topic is the night chat allowed to be?

End of Night 2
So, I've only returned from my job after ten hours and it's almost midnight. So, no flavour. I promise you a double feature later on.
Btw, on my way home I saw JohannaK's arm sticking out of a trash container. Someone killed the fella. He was:

Worker
You're aligned with town. You win by eliminating all spies.
You're an ordinary citizen. You build roads and railroads and usually mind your own business. You have no special abilities.​

Day 3 begins!

till deadline.

Note
I might replace Manasi, if she doesn't post in next 24 hours.

 

[Arakhor]

So, Takhisis, would you care to share with everyone where you were last night?

 

[Takhisis]

I stole AvatarKhepri's ‘heart’ on N1, which apparently does nothing. If he had been trying to use an active ability on N1 I'd've been able to use it instead of him for N2. Instead I gained nothing and targetted JohannaK on Night 2.
I've just been told that my action was ‘proceeded’ without any further results (???), so I'm waiting for clarification on that, but I'm almost sure that it means I stole nothing because he was dead.

Huh, so you’re basically a vanilla cop that can use actions of power roles?

Does your ability roleblock as well?

 

[Takhisis]

It's not a cop ability as such. It's a weird thing. If the person is using an activated ability I can use it for the following night (it's not confirmed whether it's blocked for the night when I steal from the person). But on Night 1 I stole nothing from AvatarK and so I have no ability to use other than the ‘ability theft’.

It's a bit like a Ditto Pokemon, I think.
And, that I know of, GenMarshall's death hasn't affected the ability theft either way. Again, I think.

 

[Manasi]

Sorry for being absolutely MIA yesterday. Got slammed with some off-site stuff and work. Back now!! Let me see how yesterday went.

 

[Yakostovian]

I'm not so sure I buy Tak's explanation.

 

[Ryast]

I'm not so sure I buy Tak's explanation.

I’d be less likely to believe it if he’d claimed something simple, but the weird claim fits the game so far and makes me more inclined to believe him.

Fits with what avatar has said too.

 

[AvatarKhepri]

One of my D1 posts was me passively-aggressively complaining about my lack of any night powers or interesting abilities, phrased in a way to maybe make people think I wasn't being sarcastic and was trying to convince people I was a vanillager. I could not have chosen a better use of this double-bluff than wasting one of Takhisis' only night actions, regardless of what side they're on.

 

[Arakhor]

Stupid explanation or not, Takhisis has just admitted to visiting Joan on the night he was killed. There are only seven of us in the game right now, so either he was unlucky enough to be visiting him the same night that someone else was, or he's the guilty party.

 

[Rakkoon]

@AvatarKhepri
If Tak is town, then it was a waste right? If not, well-played.

 

[JohannaK]

Dammit. Why me?

But there’s exactly that though - there was only 8 people in the game last night, and him visiting Johanna is as likely as anyone else.

I don’t really know why mafia would decide to kill Johanna (maybe trying to get around protections?) so that’s probably against him, but there were maybe 5-6 targets mafia could have gone for.

I just don’t like lynching a potential PR on what could be LYLO.
