Well, Sora will at least be entertaining over the next phase.

I do like the personal touch at the end of a couple posts. Has me in stitches.

Need to look back at the NAs and see what else i can ascertain.

Sabi - this is the 2nd night in a row they are pulling tarot cards. No clue what this could be. (Was Gibbs, dead scum)
MTR - Commuted Sephiorth?
Pablo - Inspired Peach
Robo - BG/Jail/Doc Rikishi
Matt - Bussed AppleJack(Now Sauron)/SolidSnake
Marack - Poisoned Sora (appears to be a restriction based on Sora's posting style)
Listo - Detonated mark on Gibbs (Sabi)
3pups - reflect/deflect action applied to SubZero
Caito - Attempted to do something to SubZero, bet reflected back on himself
Badger - Tracked Sora
Drey - Watched Sora for messages
Lora - Killed Pikachu

Seems I have a similar red on the NAs that HulkHogan does.

For the record I am voting Sora because I don't like how he was putting words into people's mouths the prior day.

Peach, how did you know the Croissant had a better role than you? She flipped as a town bodyguard.

Were you just being neighborly? Don't claim, but I think it's okay if you say something like I'm probably on the right track, or I have more to figure out.

Also, thanks to Robo for protecting me.

Well, my first impression, is that Hades is using a bit of OMGUS. I sorta threw hades into my bad pile and then he immediately voted me afterwards. Rn I have them kinda of high on my list to die. Medivh too for their super combative responses to being voted once. Seems a lil sussy.

Theory time:

Peach can talk to players at night. They need to submit target beforehand as day action. Mass rb affects only night actions so that worked.
Croissant told her their role (if claiming is allowed in such scernario). They could lie if they were scum but as town you either tell the truth or say you wont tell anything.
Peach got town read on Croissant in the end so they had a way to compare roles.

Do you like theories Peach or do you think theorising is stupid?

Roleblocked and silenced them for a day?

I am curious if the intent was malicious or what. It says there was an accident involved maybe there is randomness in the end effect.

Vote: Sephiroth

This is just a test until votecount.

Gibbs, playing as Sabi, the Supremacy Bookie, has been killed. Actual Poster: Jarrod

From Hogwarts game:

1x Bookie You can guess who will be eliminated during the next day phase. If you are correct, you will gain a single night kill.

They didn't guess, no Sabi kill.
Too bad they didn't vote they would most likely vote town.

Heart says Hulk is scum.
Votes Sora.
Not against Applejack yeet.
Doesn't like sleep.
Vibes on Sora aren't good.

In-Game Event

Marack
smiled as he saw the effects of his pleasing liquid. But, the words were not pleasant enough. Marack typed some commands in on his laptop and activated the nanobots in his contraption. They electrocuted Sora from within. He fell to the ground weakened, but stood up and continued on. "Damn. I will need to rest tonight. That fucking hurt," he muttered. As Sora walked on, he felt the initial effects of the concoction start to fade.

Aren't you interested in Hulk at all or just prefer Hades?
I feel neutral on Hulk. I think they were on early on but don't have strong town feelings on. No outwardly scummy feels either.

I never said no one push Hulk. I just wanted more.

And yes, I actually have scum vibes on Hades so I'm more interested pushing there

The Princess may have been pure at heart, but for this to work, Peach would have had to submit during Day 1 (and odd day), and picked Croissant, to have Night 1 chat. Is it common for games like this to have two town players with the very same ability/role? I don't think this is usually the case.

If the neighbor communication request was done on Night 1, for them to talk on Day 2, wouldn't it have been blocked? Or would a Day 2 communication request be allowed to happen that same day? Maybe that was the Tickler

My other thought was that perhaps Peach and Croissant were Masons? But the flip on Croissant did not indicate a Mason role.

So I would like to ask the Princess again, how did she know Croissant had a "more important" role? Voting for themself to try to "save" a fellow town member - when the voting was that close - seems like a bit of a gamble unless we consider there were plenty of team members around to cast votes elsewhere if needed.

A placeholder until I get a satisfactory answer -

Vote: Princess Peach


Did Sora fail to follow a 5-7-5 Haiku restriction imposed by Marack, and became mute for the rest of today?

What do you think of Hulk?
Tone wise - neurtal but I think Hulk might have some scum equity.

I still have scumlean on Apple slot and if they were togeter Hulk's vote on a possibly doomed partner could be a ruse to make them look towny later.

Also Pikachu wasn't too fond of them.

The obvious answer for how Princess would know Croissant had a more important role is if Princess has a garbage role themselves. I suspect it was them who forced me to speak in haikus but even if it's not I really don't think Princess is the way to go today.

As for how Princess would know that Croissant was town, I looked at the timing of their self vote and it was shortly after I made my own post highlighting how towny Croissant's latest posts actually have been. It wasn't a leap at all to defend them there. And the specific way they went about it (self voting) can simply be attributed to trolling which is consistent with the rest of their play.

In conclusion, there was no scum motivation to do what Princess did yesterday. But there was town motivation if Princess does have a weak role and believed Croissant was town as they stated.

Scum who are fairly confident town are getting lynched could get town equity by declaring said townie's tonwnhood.

This is what I was thinking. There were a pile of votes on the Peach already. By declaring croissant town, and stating that croissant had a better role, clearly gave the impression that there was info being shared. Once croissant flipped, the Princess is proven to have shared true info and attention goes elsewhere.

I also think that Sephiroth was a towny presence yestersay so I'm inclined to call him town. Judging by his abscence and the write-up he appears to have been exiled for today but maybe someone who can read better than I can clarify this.

I can see your point. And if it wasn't Princess who gave me haikus, I guess there is no strong reason for me to vouch for them.

I was curious if Sephiroth was blown to china and wont be able to post vote or be voted on. It appears he can be voted on though.

Not a vote for today, leave them be. Must be anoying enough to not be able to play.

Yeah, I would not wish it on anyone. Being restricted to only haikus was bad enough.

But to reiterate my point about Princess - I do stand by my assessment that there was a clear and observable town motivation for their play, and just because something could be a scum play doesn't mean that it was.

At least you can make a point with haikus even if that sure is annoying. If I got that I would not post. Maybe in a desperate situation.

I'm just disappointed that the people who bandwagoned onto a villager lynch yesterday would then proceed to go after those that were telling them to not do that.

You clearly have a lot of experience in these games - as I daresay most have more than me. What are your thoughts about multiple players potentially having the same role/ability? If that is not something that usually happens, I have reason to believe the Princess would not have had a way to know what she claimed - that Croissant had a more important role than Peach.

Not that I have a clear guess on their person

Not that I would have an idea even if I did

I don't think Peach actually knew and just thought Croissant was town regardless of her alignment

I think that their claim was a red herring that isn't worth focusing on. I can see a couple of scenarios where Princess Peach is town and all of them involve their claim being false.

Scenario 1. Princess Peach has a weak role themselves so they figured that any town role is likely to be better than theirs.

Scenario 2. Princess Peach actually has a very good role but wanted scum to think that they don't so they leave them alone.

They could think so but couldnt be sure.
Would someone that is 100% town sacrifice themselves for someone that is say 90% town and assume they are more powerful role than they are?

Sounds weird to me but there are different playstyles and different people i guess

Even less reason for someone who is 100% scum to sacrifice themselves for someone who is 100% not scum.

And I think that the point of doing it for cred applies for either alignment.

There are enough people in this community that would pull head-scratching moves like that as either alignment that I'm not inclined to automatically assume it was a scum move.

The problem I have with Hades is he was left with one vote on D1, so he would have had only a 25% survival rate. Not sure if his scum teammates would have done that to him.
