When he read this he shuddered, and thought vaguely of the cracked bass organ notes he fancied he had heard beneath the church on certain nights. He shuddered again at the rust around the rim of a metal basin which stood on the altar, and paused nervously when his nostrils seemed to detect a curious and ghastly stench from somewhere in the neighbourhood. That organ memory haunted him, and he explored the basement with particular assiduity before he left. The place was very hateful to him; yet after all, were the blasphemous panels and inscriptions more than mere crudities perpetrated by the ignorant?

So now that Cantrip is hammered and we're going into night I want to share my tinfoilest tinfoil that I was spitballing in the neighborhood. If Cantrip somehow flips town Wuffles is scum. There is no other explanation. I know everyone's knee jerk reaction will be Grape is some sort of ninja but only for kills or RE is somehow scum. Neither of those make sense. Wuffles is a weird godfather if Cantrip flips town. Has to be.
The fact that the weird item thing happened to tom and RE means Wuffles used that item indeed and couldn’t have used the mask Grape. It’s just as impossible as anyone else.

@tom: I indeed think none of the living players had anything happen to them ever that needs to be looked at.

Sure but neither could have you, RE, tom, or me. In Cantrip flipping town worlds tom is lock not scum (and his particular type of investigation would catch a godfather). RE is effectively mod confirmed to have been force targeted tom last night. I was tracked using an item and you didn't use it. Yes Wuffles definitely used the rift and the mask activation makes no sense, but no one else could have made the kill in that world except Cyan and he's literally killed scum already this game.
”Fine I'll prove I'm not a cultist” Wuffles says. He uncorks the bottle and drinks it. After a few second he looks at those gathered around him. “I am not a cultist” he repeats. “Say something that we know is a lie!” someone yells out. “We are not in Arkham city.” Wuffles says. Almost immediately he doubles over in pain screaming.
The ordeal has left Wuffles without a vote today.
Wuffles is Town
If this is fake, it would be pure bastardry. I simply can’t believe that.
Grape, I love you and you're great, but that's the worst tinfoil ever and you should feel bad. I'm as confir4med as it is possible to be in a mafia game.
And Cantrip is almost certainly scum and the game will probably end but if he's town a godfather that says your alignment appears town to anything that would check it is the only answer. Doesn't seem more bastard than a GF that appears town to cop checking.
When the day started there was a massive amount of disagreement on who was a cultist and who the town should kill. After the death of another member of the town from a lightning strike from the sky, the town concluded that Cantripmancer must be a cultist worshiping the old gods. Multiple members came forward advocating his lynch. Cantripmancer put up some defense but it was to no avail.
Cantripmancer has been lynched they were Monterey Jack, the Mafia Archeologist — Nyarlathotep.
You are Monterey Jack, the Mafia Archeologist — Nyarlathotep.
Monterey has been a globe-trotting treasure hunter and adventurer for many years. Following in his father's footsteps, he's always tried to ensure that the specific value of his finds is preserved. Recently, he followed a lead on an odd prehistoric statue to Arkham. However, when he arrived, the man he came to buy the statue from was locked up in the Asylum. The item was locked up in the Auction House.
That was a sight he would never forget. The artifacts sat there humming with power. He wanted them. No, he needed them. Just like that mask he had found on a dig. There was more power here. The Old Gods would grant him more too. He closed his eyes and dreamt of the day he would rule the world.

When the sun rose on Arkham the papers read. “Another found mad in the streets”. Grapefruit21 found roaming the streets in a crazy manner.
Grapefruit21 has gone insane they were Sister Mary, the Town Nun
You are Sister Mary, the Town Nun.
Sister Mary has served the Church faithfully for many years, so when she was sent to Arkham to work with Father Michael, a man whose writings she had admired for many years, she felt that she was truly blessed. Now, after witnessing Father Michael's strange mood swings and seeing some of the bizarre practices that go on in this town, she's beginning to feel that she may have been a bit too hasty…
For instance, last night, there was a knock on the door of the church, and when she answered it, there was nothing but a handwritten journal laying on the steps outside. Reading it, she learned of strange cults and terrible creatures that lurk in the darkness. Worse, when she laughingly showed it to Father Michael, he turned pale and threw it into the fire, yelling at her to forget what she'd seen.
Now, gathering her things and quietly leaving South Church, Sister Mary has decided to investigate this town, and in so doing, reaffirm her faith.

Well I certainly didn't expect Grapefruit to turn up dead. That honestly seems like a boon; I figured either he or Tom are the last scum(it's hard to see RE as scum now that we know Cantrip's role) It looks like he died due to Sanity loss, which means that the scum just didn't NK anyone at all. Which is particularly confusing to me.
I'm not going to reveal all of my actions from last night yet; but it should be clear that I didn't use my vig shot. I weighed the options for a couple of days and decided that it would be better to have it tonight instead.
Everyone should weigh in with what they did last night, and then we can figure out what can be verified and so on.
The last mafia is Tom, btw. He's no longer confirmed and I'm betting he is the last heist wolf.
I didn't rift Cyan last night, because I would have had to have chosen myself or rhand as the target which would have resulted in death. This is because I knew Cyan was going to vig one of Tom/grape/RE and I couldn't risk him accidentally shooting himself. And I didn't want to rift him to another town confirm because of the likelihood of him getting shot and killing one of us.
Sad news is I chose Grapefruit as my target and for once the tablet gave me decent results (his role/abilities).
Also glad Wuffles came to that realization that rifting was a bad idea last night. I was here since phase change but I didn't want to claim my results immediately in case Wuffles was scum (a silly thought, but yah know) and was going to lie about rifting.
I guess what's left now is for Rhand to claim his results from the telescope and for Tom to full claim.
Private Mod Note
():
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
When the point of no return appears, it is already behind you.
@Wuffles: Why would you have had to choose between Rhand or yourself as the other Rift person? And why would whom I selected to Vig matter? I thought that the Rift would just make anything that targeted me target X person instead, and vice versa? If anything, you rifting me would have completely prevented me dying and you could have just shifted that to someone suspicious?
Also, how do you know that Tom tried to target me last night?
Anyway, with Grape just being randomly dead(if you suicided yourself to get out of the POE pool, that was very savvy Grape..props), Tom is the most likely scum, but we need to clear up last night's actions. It's extremely hard for me to believe that the scum would have tried to NK me. This makes bafflingly little sense.
@Cyan - because if I hit RE/TOM/grape, (the POE) and you had chosen to vig them (which I assumed you would, considering your somewhat rabid assertions as to vig being such a powerful role *bandages undamaged hand obsessively* , you'd have killed yourself. I think there's been enough townies killing themselves this game *raises glass to Terry, raises eyebrow at DBS*.
So instead of rifting you as I was originally planning, I instead targeted you with the Mark of Cthulhu. That meant that anyone else targeting you would be hidden for the night and their abilities would fizzle, and cost them one sanity. I also targeted you with performer to allow me to hide for the night. This way, I saved both of us (as confirmed town) and blocked any scum (HI TOM, WONDER WHY YOU'RE NOT CLAIMING WHAT ABILITY YOU TARGETED CYAN WITH THAT FIZZLED WHEN THERE WAS NO MAFIA KILL, HMMMMMMM?)
Grape was completely unintended collateral damage. I didn't know anyone was so close to sanity death. RIP.
TL;DR I protected both conf!town and role locked Tom's mafia kill. GGWP.
@cyan I can't give you an exact text of performer as that would be PM-quoting, but:
Performer - target a player at night to learn, within +1 or -1 of their current money total.
Mark of Cthulhu - Target a player and pay 2 Sanity. Any player that targets this player with an ability is sent to the overworld (I.e. Hidden) for the rest of the phase, and loses one sanity.
It basically turns players that target the marked person to be commuted for the rest of the phase. It has a full cycle cooldown.
Wait a minute. You used the eye, didn't you. FFFUUU. Did I just waste three sanity keeping you alive when I didn't need to Cyan because that annoys the hell out of me if it's true.
Also, did anyone else notice that grape failed to buy the auction logs and had no money on him when he died? I think Tom stole it.
It's more complicated than that, I'm waiting to hear from Tom and DV(about a couple of things at this point) before I go into further detail.
What was the monetary amount that you were told I had?
Grape was in possession of 2 Silver when he died, which I assume is lying on the ground waiting to be distributed right now since he couldn't actually will it to dead-Terry. So..don't think Tom stole anything from Grape.
Wuffles, what makes you think that Grape would have targeted me? Also, Im really curious about your Performer ability results. And no, I did not use the Eyes last night. And I really want Tom to tell me what he targeted me with and why.
@cyan: well Grape died of sanity loss and from what I can see the only way he accidentally kills himself is from losing one sanity from Mark of Cthulhu sending him to the overworld.
And I didn't get a result from performer - as I said before, I specifically targeted you with performer after mark of Cthulhu because the mark would send me to the overworld and hide me in exchange for fizzling my performer ability.
@RE - no? Tom literally said he was roleblocked, which means he tried to target cyan with something and got his ability cthulhu'd to hell. which explains the lack of mafia kill and why Tom is the last scum.
We discovered an error between our items and the auction house. The Ward of Cthulhu is currently worded as:
30 Ward of Cthullu
Any-time Action — Pay 2 sanity. Target player, anyone who targets that player will lose one sanity and will be sent into the otherworld for the rest of that phase.
Can only be used once per cycle.

Vote: Cantrip
Anyone using Day actions, do 'em now.
@RE - Yeah nah I wasn't lying about my rolename. Why the hell would I, I'm 100% mechanically confirmed town and that's dumb.
Was definitely some kind of politician though
That was a correct assumption.
