This was a nice game. I enjoyed it even though I was not much active. Congrats Mafia. GG Town. Thanks to the hosts for hosting and letting me play.

Ok ##Vote: Green Poet

Yes Oboro I will send you the message. As of now I am most suspicious of GP. Should I vote them?

Actually by some twisted logic, it even makes sense as he told me to send him a message in the night phase so that it would look like he'd be expecting that message, where in fact, he used his mass-roleblock ability and then he could say why I would use the role block when I was expecting a message. Don't know if this is a logical possibility or I am just overthinking stuff.

That too considering it wasn't even a normal cop but a colourblind alignment cop.

But GP is actually Ascetic unless I was blocked on N2 as well. My action failed on N2 as well as N3.

Sorry I worded it incorrectly. I had sent this message for Oboro but the hosts told me that the action failed. Yeah. Me too.

Mackc2 even your action has failed? Mine too.

What is it? I seem to have forgotten.

Ok as I sent this message to Oboro last night, I will share it with the public too. My suspicions are on Refa now since I think they are the only one who have not claimed their role (atleast I don't remember their claim) while everyone else's roles have been claimed and proven to a certain extent. My 2nd suspicion is on Green Poet as their Ascetic Insomniac role seems a bit scummy. Did anyone target me last night?

##Vote Junk Looks like they just fessed up. Sorry for being inactive guys. There's some irl stuff going on. Seriously this game is becoming more complicated by the day. I don't really think I would have understood what's going on but for Oboro's scenarios post. Ok Oboro. I would surely send you a player's name who I am most suspicious about.

I don't mind you using your abilities on me, Mackc2.

Anyway I targeted GP with my Courier role and it was unsuccessful, so maybe they are actually Ascetic. But it could also be a scum role?

I never said I am sure Refa or for that matter even BBM is town but they are my town reads. I like their efforts in scum hunting, solving the game, moving discussion forward and asking relevant questions. I would also rather vote Bartozio for now as I had an iffy feeling about his vote on Michelaar. He hasn't even contributed much and his reason for voting Refa was very weak. ##Vote: Bartozio

Never heard of Scum DayVig or Colour Cop(except perhaps in EIMM) before. I don't think the doc should protect me. Can anyone tell me how to use my role productively? I am kinda feeling left out because of it. As for the Lynch, I don't mind anyone except BBM, MI & Refa.

Well that was confusing. ##Unvote

Yeah they could be neighbour. Sorry I misread the above as them knowing each other's alignment. As for Elieson, as I stated earlier he is not his usual self. He is uncharacteristic ally quiet but he excused himself for irl issues, so I am willing to give him some time. As for the comparison between MI & Bartozio, I am assuming MI is an experienced player whereas Bartozio has said he's a new player. I would expect more contribution from an experienced player than a new one, honestly.

Oops. I don't like the votes on Refa. They seem pretty townie to me. I think their spotting the "townslip" was genuine, though can't say whether the town slip was itself genuine or not. I was actually reading Michelaar as town and didn't want another townie to be lynched instead of me as I thought they might have a better role or they might prove more beneficial to town than me. They turned out scum though which I am quite happy for. Prims role was a Mason, I guess so their mason partner is confirmed town but it would be good if they don't claim until they really have to, this being a NOC game. Junk claims their vote to be stuck on Refa for D2. Though I have a slight town read on Junk, we could test his claim by asking them to vote someone else and asking for vote count. We do this a lot on Bulba. As for my biggest scum read atm, Magnificence Incarnate. They do not bring any new or original thoughts to the game. The cases which they have built on myself on D1 and Bartozio now seem essentially weak and it feels they are not putting in much effort in scum hunting as compared to the other experienced players. For this reason, I shall: ##Vote: Magnificence Incarnate

My current thoughts on the game: I don't like the votes on R

I think the correct votals for D1 phase end were: Michelaar (5): Oboro-garasu, Green Poet, Bartozio, Junk, BBM pika_pika42 (4): Magnificence Incarnate, Prims, Michelaar, Refa Faerie Knight (2): Elieson, Pika_pika42 Mackc2 (1): Faerie Knight Elieson (1): Mackc2

Ok. I am the Messenger Owl. Each night, I can send a message to anyone through the Hosts. I don't really know how to play with this role so it's kind of wasted in my hands, that's why I don't mind being lynched.

At this point of time, I think that would be a choice between 2 townies. I know I am town and I think Michelaar is town too. So I would rather get myself lynched than putting another townie in Lynch danger.

Ok as I promised the second part of my reads list Junk: Slight town read, I like the way they are evaluating different possibilities, generating discussion, forming reads and asking relevant questions. Oboro Garasu: Null read mostly but on the verge of turning to a slight town read based on their further posts. They are mainly targeting Michelaar as they don't like their random vote and their overall defensive playstyle. Defensive of Green Poet. Urges inactives to post more. While all this is not totally alignment indicative, it can be said to be little helpful towards town. Refa: Town read. Expressed their opinions on various issues, asked a lot of questions especially regarding people's reasons for voting someone over the other and provided their reads list. I agree with most of their reads except a few. Green Poet: Null read to slight scum read. Their main case is on Michelaar against the random votes and their defensive play. Also state that Michelaar is playing to their scum meta. I am a bit confused regarding why they expressed their opinion on Prims and then changed it and expressed a contrasting opinion. Faerie Knight: Null read to slight scum read. I don't like the way they voted against Mackc2 without reason and then explained that they wanted to see Mackc2 react to said vote, when in fact, there was nothing much to react to. Their discussion with Elieson seemed pretty neutral but I don't like the way they ended it and asked Elieson to vote against Mackc2 with them. BBM: Slight town read. They are making an effort to read every player and discussing and asking questions and voting, where necessary to help them form their reads. Also expressing their thoughts on other players as well as the current state of the game. Overall, good posts. I would like to see their reads list, I am sure they must have made a good one. Based on my above reads list, I would like to ##Vote: Faerie Knight for now.

Woah so many votes on me. I understand I have not contributed anything in my earlier 2 posts and I have not been much active. I am new here and I don't know anyone of you and your playstyles, so it's a bit difficult for me to form reads. I didn't want to vote off a townie, that's why I unvoted Prims (after I read their further posts which I found pretty good) and did not place my vote on anyone. I have never been part of such an intense Day 1 so I felt that I should read the game over again but even after reading through it, I haven't found anyone especially suspicious. I will post my thoughts on whatever I have gathered till now. Prims: Slight Town read. Like their posts in which they ask various questions to others and generate discussion. Magnificence Incarnate: Don't like their posts much. They have also not contributed much or anything new. Their defending of Mackc2 makes me feel suspicious of them. I can understand that they say I was waffling a lot but I can't understand their point of me being opportunistic. They have not explained that point clearly. Michelaar: Slight Town read. Though Michelaar has mostly defended themselves and not contributed much but I can understand their situation if their case is like me, but if they claim to be experienced, they should not be having much problems in dealing with the experts here. Also their town slip is one which could be easily fakeable, so I am not reading them as town for that slip but their overall posts. They later provide their reads list which is also a genuine attempt, I think. Bartozio: Null read. I am not being able to read them much. They claimed they are a new player. I don't like their statement that they are not convinced Michelaar is scum yet is most suspicious and then they vote Michelaar. This is a bit confusing as if you're not convinced someone is scum, why would you vote them? Elieson: I know him and have seen him play in a few games. He's likely the most aggressive player (atleast on Bulba) where he mostly becomes the Town Leader and helps us solve the game. This side of his seems missing here. He's mostly quiet and inactive. He was mostly joking around early D1 and then engaged in a discussion with Fairie Knight where he blames Fairie for not doing much but I haven't seen him do much either. Null read for now. Pika_pika42: Confused soul. A noob stuck among old crotchity hardcore players. Is Town, please don't lynch. Mackc2: Slight scum read. He placed his vote on Elieson without much reason. He said that he would prefer to not share his thoughts as that would make him a target. He later shared his reason which according to me were not quite good to begin with. Has still stuck with their vote on Elieson despite so much else happening in thread. They are either scum or a paranoid townie. I will post the other half of my reads after an hour. Going for dinner now.

UNVOTE: Prims Their recent posts are far better and their discussion generating questions make them feel good to me. Prims and Junk are looking good to me for their overall posts and for generating discussion. Mackc2 and Michelaar are looking too scummy atm. While Mackc2 is suspicious for hiding their thoughts and not contributing much while Michelaar is suspicious for their defensive play and non-comital posts. However imo, they both look so scummy that they could actually be town. I think scum is looking at an easy lynch and I agree with Green Poet that atleast 1 person on the Michelaar wagon could be scum. I am not comfortable in voting anyone now. Need to read through carefully again.
