Nightside Mafia 2 (GAME OVER: SERIAL KILLER WINS)

[Laset]

Let's take a trip down memory lane while I gather up some beans, shall we?

Cat, if someone had given into your itembegging and given you an item last night, who would have been the top two people on your list to target for each of: a doccing, a vigging, a busdriving.

yeah I don't actually trust the copping that beru has at all?

okay so I am pondering.

I allllmost wonder if red is scum who has to give his stuff away to non-buddies or something?

[...]

Unless, like, a scum gave Beru a paranoid cop and then she used it on a scum, which ... I could see happening, I guess?

I do think it's possible. I don't think whoever gave beru the cop was town, though, so there'd have to be at least three item-givers running around.

All of the above were informed by my role!

uh, red, what rolecop?

This was a lie

hey cat

you should hammer airey so we can move on to the next day.

This was me trying to stop Red from getting a chance to speak up because someone had said something I didn't want him getting a chance to respond to, because that woulda been gambitstompy!

Because, you see.
I've been running a gambit for a while.

There are three item-gifters in this game.
There's Red who is obvtown and is giving town items with town powers.
There's a scum gifter who is probably responsible for the one-off shenanigans we've been observing and for Beru's thing.
And then there's me. I'm also town and an itemgifter, but my items are shit.

Night one I didn't give anything out because I had no idea how to use my inventory productively at that point.
Night two I wanted Cat dead, so I gave her a (shitty) Path Charm - described to her as if it was a busdriving, actually, it would instead redirect anything targetting the two she used it on to herself.
Night three I had a ~plan~. I believed Cat town due to her NOT using the Path Charm, but I also believed her lynchable and probably a weak role, so I didn't claim yet. Instead, I gave Cat a (shitty) Ring of Insight - an insane rolecop! - I was hoping she'd use it on someone suspicious, she'd out the results, and they'd either FTFO because she was wrong (in which case we'd have her and them townfirmed) or they'd claim she was right and they were townfirmed, in which case we had a scum caught (because lying) and cat townfirmed (because no scum would rolecop their buddy, I mean honestly). Instead she rolecopped me the same night I got a set of lockpicks from Red (which I used on Solaris - 'nilla town, as we know now.).
And then night four I was unsure, had Cat as probable-scum, but decided I'd keep gambiting since I doubted I'd die and if I did I still hadn't done any harm. And so, I gave Palamedes (who I suspected as scum) a Symbol of Authority ... which he used and made himself Hated.

I still have a necklace of Voice, (supposedly extravote, actually you lose your vote for a day) that I can give out if anyone wants a paperweight to confirm, but uh, don't use the thing.

So.

The short version: I'm a shitty-item-vendor, Cat /probably/ died from using the Path Charm on the mafkill since I doubt they wanted to kill her, and Palamedes is lying and a scum who is lying.

And I was really kind of hoping to die in the night before having to claim because that way I wouldn't have to make a superscummy claim.

[Mirdini]

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME

yay tek

also that is the most hilariously amazing gambit-catch if it's the case re: Palamedes and Pala's 'roleclaim'

thing is I have the most ridiculously strong townread on you, and it's not mylo either so 100% willing to trust you there Tek

Vote: Palamedes

[Red709]

I can actually believe this

well
look who's gon' die
hint: it's not 'tek
Pala

[Mirdini]

I'm a shitty-item-vendor, Cat /probably/ died from using the Path Charm on the mafkill since I doubt they wanted to kill her

I can uh

meta-confirm that this happened

Tek's 100% legit whoop

MV if you're actually a vig shoot anacreon tonight

[Acionyx]

Angry crowd is angry

HAMMER

-ninja'd by hammer: tentative delete-
-edited back in cos people saw the post-

Guess what

i can confirm the above

cos i wasnt blocked last night after all

See, two can play at the gambit game, sotek
I targetted Mirdini with my copping, but got a result back on Cat (innocent). Like, literally, it went "Cop: Mirdini" "Cat is innocent". I was like wut. And ofc cat died too. So i guessed she was a Lightning Rod of some sort, but i was hoping i'd get a slip off a roleblocker who didnt actually block me last night (again, wtf, why wasnt i blocked :S). I guess it worked out for the best cos i can confirm (to an extent?) sotek's claims up there.

I'm gonna hold back on voting Pala (even though obvious.scum for dat lie), cos Hated, but...this is a Thing. Three itemgivers in a game. One is town. One is scum. The third..? You woulda assumed 3P right? It doesnt matter anyways cos it aint important: hunt mafia before potentially ambivalent 3Ps imo... but something to bear in mind for later days. (for the record, i think towntek (especially after pretty much single-handedly outing a scum) and 3Pred but eh, thats a story for another day... altho it leaves the question of who the mafia item giver is.)

And also leaves the question of why the fuck ive only ever been blocked once. And why im still alive :S

[A Killer Cuppa Tea]

ah...fuck. Shall i delete that post as i was ninja'd by hammer?

[Acionyx]

After his shenanigans earlier, nobody was pleased with Palamedes and to the creepy statue man he went with little effort

The cane moved again and another body dropped




Palamedes was Arnold Vicker, one of the Nightside's many many collectors. Though not up there in the same league as The Collector. Who had happily made off with some of his rarer pieces. Rowsdower offered him assistance in retrieving said knicknacks and in his eagerness he brought a few of his remaining toys to the party to be put to use in the effort of killing a lot of people. He had a good eye for them as well and as long as he lived he'd be able to grab any unused bits that had been in his team's posession off any corpses that turned up. Mafia Collector/Garbageman.


The Bronze Man seemed to be smiling painfully hard at this point

"Off. You. GoOo. Then!"


Livelist:


1. Red
2. Beruru (AbsoluteCertainty)
3. Mirdini
4. Tea
5. Mister Visceral

Deadline in 72 hours.

[Acionyx]

"Welcome back! Just one today, such a pity.

Mores the pity, a transient being, it's no fun when they don't actually die..."





Beruru was Ashawayk, what remained of the Old God Ah Chuy Kak. A diety of war in a doomed civilization he fell out of power when his cult had dwindled. A few worshippers remained scattered here and there, and you can never really get rid of the concept of war so he found himself wandering the world taking the occasional hit off a random street fight. No where near his original capability, he only brought his voice to the proceedings and was Vanilla Town.

"You know what to do I suspect!"

Livelist:

1. Red
2. Mirdini

Seven alive, takes four to lynch. Deadline in 96 hours.

[Mirdini]

Visceral y u no vig anacreon

tea result please

tektek what's the haps

[Mister Visceral]

Figured since I ended up killing town!Laris, I couldn't take any chances tonight. It would be risky, and I feel like we could lynch better than I can shoot.

[Mirdini]

Figured since I ended up killing town!Laris, I couldn't take any chances tonight. It would be risky, and I feel like we could lynch better than I can shoot.

yes but solaris wasn't the top pick for the other scumteam member by every confirmed townie around

not that it matters

waiting on others to check in before voting but that vote'll be on anacreon bar major revelations.

[Mirdini]

also scum thanks a lot for making it so that we don't have to deal with the omnipresent wine of godfather!beru

and not shooting me again instead.

[Laset]

I'm

okay with him not shooting though? like whatever.

anyway I have no meaningful haps! I spilled all my beans.

I didn't give out my last item because wtf would I, it is not a useful thing since nobody is going to try to use it anyway :v

I like the idea of a 'nac lynch but well let's hear from tea.

[Mirdini]

I'm

okay with him not shooting though? like whatever.

yeah I mean I guess it does reduce the chances of him being an SK rather significantly so cool beans there.

more interesting: Assuming nac is scum, who's our last miscreant? I have to lean towards Daunting here.

[Mirdini]

EBWOP: Because none of the other choices make sense.

Red: Town itemgiver
Sotek: Town brokenitemgiver
Tea: Cop
Me: A Town Guy

honestly Tek want me to fullclaim I mean

we're in total endgame here.

[Laset]

Your call on a claim. Like you're pretty obvtown.

If you have anything useful let's hear it.

[Red709]

yeah we're pretty much endgame hit it if you think it's necessary

I mean it's not like it'll change too much RN

also holy hell let's hope this day doesn't end as fast as Redfia

[Mister Visceral]

Go for it. I'm going to be ZZZing, so I'll put Crayola down and join you all in about 21 hours. Night all!

Vote: Anna Crayon

[Mirdini]

Me claiming isn't anything interesting and it certainly isn't -EV so hey

Remember this

Re: Tea

YOU'LL HAVE MY RAINBOW READS OVER MY DEAD BODY

I'm the Journalkeeper, if I die y'all get to read my QT. As I said, deathfia.

[Laset]

herp.

only thing delaying me is teasults.

[Red709]

WELP
that works

so
lynch anacreon?

[Red709]

oh right teasults

[Mirdini]

Might just want to stick a second non-dini vote on anacreon then so that when tea gets back during eurodaytime he and I can hammer without needing to wait until you americanos wake up (GOTTA KEEP THE REALLY FAST DAYS ROLLIN').

[Mirdini]

EBWOP: (obviously only if tea results aren't gamechanging etc. etc.)
