"NONSENSE! Everyone loves a Humbug," shouted the Humbug. "As I was saying to the king just the other day—"
"You've never met the king," accused the bee angrily. Then he said, "Don't believe a thing this old fraud says."
"You, sir," shouted the bee very excitedly, "are an impostor—i-m-p-o-s-t-o-r—who can't even spell his own name."
"A slavish concern for the composition of words is the sign of a bankrupt intellect," roared the Humbug, waving his cane furiously.
It seemed to infuriate the Spelling Bee, who flew down and knocked off the Humbug's head with his wing.
ganderin_dan has been lynched. They were The Humbug, TOWN Booster.
Welcome to the game. You are The Humbug. You are a TOWN Booster.
"We're an old and noble family, honorable to the core—Insecticus Humbugium, if I may use the Latin."
Your abilities are:
Boast: As a Day action, you may say "I once met [playername]." You and that player play Rock-Paper-Scissors with each other by PMing the mod. If you win, any nonkilling actions that would target you tonight target that player instead. If that player wins or the game is a tie, any nonkilling actions that would target that player tonight target you instead.
You win when no threats to town remain. Confirm that you have read this message by replying here.
It is now Night 3. Do not talk in the thread unless your role PM says otherwise. Night actions are due by 24 hours from now. There will be a 0-16 hour dawn period to account for the mod having a life.
AT THE CURRENT MOMENT I HAVE RE AND TOM AS FULLY TOWN, THE WORST AND KA JUST A NOTCH UNDER, GRAPEFRUIT MOSTLY TOWN, MANASI MOSTLY TOWN AND ALBERTINO SCUM.
IF WE REACH LYLO WITH ANYONE RE OR TOM I'D RECONSIDER, BUT THAT SOUNDS INCREDIBLY UNLIKELY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF GRAPES WEIRD INTERACTION WITH TOM? I DON'T THINK IT COMES FROM SCUM, BUT IT'S JUST WEIRD TO ACCUSE ONE OF THE MOST TOWNREAD PLAYERS IN THE GAME THAT THEY ARE SCUM BASED ON CRAZY SCENARIOS. IT DESTABILIZES TRUST IN THE TOWN WHILE ALSO ALLOWING SCUM MORE MISLYNCH OPTIONS.

I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN I AM DYING TONIGHT. WHICH IS SAD BECAUSE MY TRACKER ABILITY WOULD WORK IDENTICALLY TO A COP, UNLESS WE'RE DEALING WITH A NINJA.
WHICH IS WHY I ASKED IF CANTRIP WAS LIKELY TO HAVE TARGETED ME, SINCE THAT MEANS I WOULD HAVE BEEN ROLEBLOCKED.
AND NOW I FEEL BAD FOR LYNCHING DAN BECAUSE I DIDN'T READ CANTRIP'S ROLE CLOSELY AND DIDN'T REALIZE HIS ROLE WAS NEARLY A REPEAT OF DAN'S NORMALIZED ROLE, COUPLED WITH THE ROLEBLOCK. YEAH WE SHOULD HAVE LYNCHED DIAS. ESPECIALLY SINCE IF CANTRIP TARGETED ME, NO ONE CAN TARGET ME AND DIAS DOESN'T GET CLEARED. UNLESS MY READS ARE REALLY HORRIBLE AND FINAL SCUM ARE COUNTING ON ME MISLYNCHING TOWN TWO MORE TIMES.
AS FOR GRAPE, I ALSO HAVE PARANOID TENDENCIES TO SUSPECTING TOM, BUT I THINK HE IS TOWN. I'M JUST GONNA PRAY I'M NOT WRONG. SO I GET TINFOILING TOM, THOUGH IT IS A BIT EXCESSIVE. ONE THING THAT KIND OF BUGS ME IS I DON'T THINK GRAPE NEEDED TO CLAIM IMMEDIATELY THAT KPACA DIDN'T USE A NIGHT ABILITY (SINCE IT READS A LITTLE LIKE HE WAS TRYING TO MAKE SURE IT WOULDN'T SCREW HIM OVER LATER ON). MIGHT BE NOTHING.
THERE WAS ALSO A POST FROM DIAS THAT FELT KINDA LIKE A SLIP:
I THINK GRAPE SAID HE DIDN'T USE ANY ABILITY, BECAUSE THERE WAS STILL THE SLIGHT POSSIBILITY OF KPACA HAVING THE ALL ACTION DELAY THINGY AND HE SIMPLY DIDN'T CLAIM BECAUSE HE WAS MISSING FROM THE GAME. I WOULDN'T EVEN THINK HE WAS SCUM IF HE CAME OUT AND CLAIMED THAT HIS ROLE DID THAT. IT JUST REINFORCES MY BELIEF THAT IT WAS A SCUM ACTION.
AS FOR THE ALBERTINO 'SLIP', I DIDN'T READ IT THAT WAY. HE REPLACED RR AND AFTER READING THE THREAD HE CAME UP WITH RR AS TOWN IN HIS READLIST, BUT THERE WAS ALREADY MOUNTING SUSPICION ON THE SLOT, WHILE THERE WASN'T THAT MUCH BEFORE DAY 3.

ALSO THE NEXT TWO POSTS WHERE HE VOTES YOU AND TOM ARE WEIRD, UNEXPLAINED AND MAKE NO SENSE WITH HIS CLAIMED ROLE.
I TRIED TO QUESTION HIM ABOUT IT. HE EXPLAINED THE VOTES TO BE SOFT TARGETS (PROTECT ME, AND THEN TOM IF I GOT LYNCHED (???)). I DON'T REALLY KNOW IF I GOT ANYTHING OTHER THAN, "IT'S DIAS." MY PROBLEM IS, DIAS HAS A TENDENCY TO DO WACK CLAIMS. EXAMPLE. LAST GAME I WAS IN, HE WAS SCUM, COUNTERCLAIMED HIS OWN BUDDY WHO CLAIMED COP WHEN THEY WERE ABOUT TO BE LYNCHED, AND WHEN THE ROLE COP FLIPPED THE NEXT DAY, HE CLAIMED THAT WAS HIS ROLE (DON'T ASK WHY IT TOOK 3 MORE DAYS TO LYNCH HIM.) BASICALLY, THIS KIND OF CLAIM IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING HE'D DO AS SCUM. BUT IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE SEEN HIS TOWN GAME, SO I'M NOT TOO SURE.
INB4 WE GET 4 DEATHS CAUSE THERE'S AN UNCLAIMED VIG.

I SEE TWO PRETTY DISPARATE SCENARIOS THERE
EITHER HE'S TOWN WAY CAUGHT UP IN HIS OWN HEAD THINKING IF THERES SCUM PLAYING REALLY WELL IT'S BOUND TO BE ME
OR HE'S SCUM AND THOUGHT I'D BE A LOW ACCOUNTABILITY PUSH AND THEN... I MADE MYSELF NOT AND HE KEPT HAVING TO JUSTIFY IT.
FEEL LIKE I OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHICH BUT I HAVENT
MY MAIN THING WITH ALBERT IS THAT BODYGUARD REALLY MAKES SENSE IN SETUP AND WE HAVE NO OTHER PROTECTIVES EXCEPT KIND OF JOHNNY (ONCE), POSSIBLY VEZOK BUT AT RANDOM, AND TECHNICALLY MANASI IF ROLE IS REAL.
WHICH... IS ACTUALLY KIND OF A LOT BUT NEVERTHELESS NO TRUE PROTECTIVE
BEHAVIOR WISE I'VE REALLY GOT NOTHING THOUGH I'M JUST HOPING IF HE'S TOWN HE DIES TONIGHT AND HE BETTER BE ******* USING BODYGUARD NOT DOC
ALSO @MANASI NEEDS TO BE DELAYING IN GRAPEFRUIT/WORST IMO. IF SHE HOLSTERS AGAIN SHE NEEDS LYNCHED. IN THEORY SHE'S ALSO A COP WITH 1 SCUM REMAINING (DEPENDING ON WHAT HER ROLE ACTUALLY IS)
POE PEOPLE HAVING CLAIMS THAT DO SOMETHING/CREATE A DICHOTOMY IS RRALLY BIG

The strings vibrate, playing a smooth melody. At the same time, the brass sound out a trumpeting fanfare.
All players have an extra vote and must vote for two different people at once during this Day phase.
If a player uses a nonkilling action during the next Night phase, they must use that action during the next Day phase as an extra action.
A Surprising Ability Result: the worst did not target anybody last night.
"Well," said the boy, "in my family everyone is born in the air, with his head at exactly the height it's going to be when he's an adult, and then we all grow toward the ground."
"Gravity exists!" said a mysterious person.
"Well, shoot! I've never thought of that," as he plummeted to the ground, breaking his neck in the process.
RE has died. They were Alec Bings, TOWN Tracker.
Welcome to the game. You are Alec Bings. You are a TOWN Tracker.
"It's all in the way you look at things."
Your abilities are:
Distinct Perspective: As a Night action, you may track another target player to see who that player targets with any Night actions that they take. (2-shot)
You win when no threats to town remain. Confirm that you have read this message by replying here.
"And, most important of all," added the Mathemagician, "Here is your own magic staff. Use it well and there is nothing it cannot do for you."
"Square root of negative squared Mathemagician."
The Mathemagician vanished.
"Well, I guess that's the end of that," said a mysterious person. "You can't be a problem if you don't exist."
Manasi has died. They were The Mathemagician, TOWN Delayer.
Welcome to the game. You are The Mathemagician. You are a TOWN Delayer.
"You'll find that the only thing you can do easily is be wrong, and that's hardly worth the effort."
Your abilities are:
Numbers over Words: As a Night action, you may give target player Division Dumplings or Subtraction Stew. That player consumes that item immediately, and their actions this Night are delayed to the following Night. You may activate this ability √5 times. (Three times, but the third time doesn't do anything.)
You win when no threats to town remain. Confirm that you have read this message by replying here.
Actually I was roleblocked and missed that PM. Clarifying if that means I don't have a day action today.
Anyway my hoops are I give a player a list of 10 words and they have to use one per post. I was choosing very obscure words mostly to troll Vezok. Highlights were Balderdash, tweak, chivalry, and malignant.
Well manasi couldn't delay herself, and wouldn't have delayed RE, so we actually should be able to solve where the delay shot went here.
it was me, preatty sure it was me
See I don't believe you because I don't think Manasi would make that sketchy of a play. I mean she was disengaged so maybe she just didn't think about it but it seems super unlikely.
Anyway The Worst is full on IC at this point. If we find the delayed person Albertino is scum, if we don't he's IC too I think. Vezok isn't IC, but is very town. So the lynch pool is either Albertino and no one else or me/tom/KA and we get two shots in those 3.
REAL TALK IF ALBERT IS TOWN AND MANASI DELAYED HIM SHE'S FIRED
i am, idk who did it, but it was stupid cuz if i was mafia, you don't win anything cuz i'm dead today anyway, and if i'm town, you just stop me from self resolving, wichh would happen since RE died...
I MEAN, YOU ARE CORRECT THAT TARGETTING YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN STRAIGHT UP GAME THROWING BASED ON CLAIMS BUT PRESUMABLY SHE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT YOU WERE SCUM AND WAS JUST TRYING TO DELAY KILLS WITHOUT ACTUALLY THINKING IT THROUGH.
SO MAYBE JUST... EXTREMELY IRRESPONSIBLE.
Grapefruit21 (1) - ganderin_dan

I'M PRETTY SURE OUR REASONS ARE DIFFERENT
BUT THAT'S COOL. GRAPE IS TOWNLEAN MOSTLY FOR TONE AND I ALREADY KNOW THAT'S A BAD IDEA.
I'M HOPING THE GAME IS THAT EASY AND IT'S DIAS WHO'S SCUM. WISH I WERE MORE CONFIDENT IN MY TOWNREADS. WHICH IS TO SAY I WISH I HAD MORE.
I MEAN, IT IS RIGHT NOW BUT NOT ONCE DAY STARTS

Day 4 Lynch Deadline will be Saturday, September 20th at 1630 MST. There will be a Twilight period (No voting) of ??? hours to account for the host having a life outside of Mafia.
With 6 players, it takes 4 to lynch.
anyone surprised to see me alive today btw?
The mod post just now like conftowned me
I think my softing has been mega obvious lmao but I'm happy to claim too
You are not this bad.
That is a fact.
either way Tom is almost certainly correct in thinking he knows what my claim will be
GRAPE CLAIMS FIRST THEN THE WORST. THEN VEZOK I GUESS...
INITIAL REACTION SAYS ALBERTINO PROBABLY THE LAST SCUM HERE BECAUSE RE DEATH, BUT DUE DILLIGENCE ETC
Vote: Grapefruit to get that must vote two people requirement out of the way.
GRAPE FIRST, THEN WORST, THEN KAMI, THEN VEZOK
AND YES I THINK I KNOW WORSTS CLAIM ALREADY BUT STILL NEED HIM TO MAKE IT
OR?
WHAT ARE THE HOOPS?
Nope.
If they meet [redacted] they get to take an additional action the following night.
Since I get an extra shot of it who should I use it on now. And I guess I need to ask Osie about some timing requirements.
Anyway my hoops are I give a player a list of 10 words and they have to use one per post. I was choosing very obscure words mostly to troll Vezok. Highlights were Balderdash, tweak, chivalry, and malignant.
so the full thread delay was indeed town motivated I just had no idea what it did
See I don't believe you because I don't think Manasi would make that sketchy of a play. I mean she was disengaged so maybe she just didn't think about it but it seems super unlikely.
Anyway The Worst is full on IC at this point. If we find the delayed person Albertino is scum, if we don't he's IC too I think. Vezok isn't IC, but is very town. So the lynch pool is either Albertino and no one else or me/tom/KA and we get two shots in those 3.
