Witch Hunt

Not the kind with cardstock and pawns. Mostly play by post Mafia so far.

All of the paragraphs posted in the Roles thread read to me like they were written by Alicorn. This indicates to me that:

-The people who claimed to have powers almost certainly have these powers.
-The traitor likely omitted a paragraph from their PM, instead of fabricating a new one and posting it here.

I omitted the part without the powers because that's what the people who posted before me did. I will post the rest as soon as I'm on a real computer.

I think those are likely. A third option that I thought of:

the traitor copied my regular-goon PM and changed the names in the process.

I don't know how likely this is -- I think omitting the paragraph might be the most likely

this is suspiciously close to pistachi0n's actual role.

that said, she makes the least sense for traitor, given we're supposed to kill her before the end anyway.

Wait, what? That's not my actual role. I can only prevent people from being lynched during the day. I can't prevent anything at all from happening at night.

What I was trying to imply for my speculation for Talyn was that it makes them immune to actions taken that same night. Sorry I wasn't more specific.

oh, i think i misread it, sorry. I was just playing too close attention to what everyone's speculating about talyn (i keep thinking paradox is one of us, i almost quoted them here too). jumping at shadows a bit i guess.

I do still think you make the least sense for traitor, since we want to have the traitor lynched at some point and you want to be lynched at some point so that would be easy for all of us.

Yeah, pistachi0n's role reads to me as both definitely genuine and almost certainly incompatible with being a traitor. Though the mods have denied that, I think it is possible that Oris could become Town if she were the only one of us left (being adopted by someone, etc.), but that's the only circumstance I could envision her not being Mafia. I believe pistachi0n is not a traitor with probability ~1, to the extent that I'd be willing to openly speculate with her on who might be the traitor if it becomes necessary.

I am also 99% sure pistachi0n isn't traitor and the 1% is just "well the mods haven't confirmed it but it's pretty sure anyway".
