Effulgence Mafia Game Thread

Alphabeta isn't mafia.

This seems like a very definite statement. Care to share why you have such a high level of confidence?

I am definitely thankful that he warned us about Chelsea. It's not immediately obvious to me that the warning was actually worth losing all remaining Chris-type powers in the game (from michaelblume himself and from alphabeta exchanging the power for Chelsea's).

You seem very interested in possible investigative roles.

No more than anyone else is, I'd imagine. Or rather, only to the extent that people are making claims without visible evidence to back them up, especially now that we seem to have mostly abandoned crypto. As you yourself just said, you were careful to only say you thought michaelblume was *probably* town (which is way more conservative than I would have been if I knew he was Chris). So when Aestrix states something seemingly with complete confidence, I'm curious. Especially given her talk on the last in-game day about communication channels...

I continue to be a her.

Well, I was confident enough to decide that I knew better than the rest of you, but I'm pretty sure there's murdery defensive powers in glowfic. Like that one vampire who's always lost in her senses.

Ugh. I'm sorry, Aestrix! Here I was feeling smug about using pronouns correctly when others weren't, and then I fucked up. I've edited my last post and will try very very hard not to fuck up again.

[Aestrix]

It's fine, it's not a large problem. It and the misspelling 'Aesterix' seems to happen a lot for me, so I try to keep it from spiraling out of control where I can. Damn you, vaguely non-gendered screenname! *shakes fist*

Anyway. We seem to be running low on helpful templates. That's, uh, bad. Let's not kill Alphabeta and rid ourselves of another one, morally sketchy though he may be. He's hilariously unlikely to be mafia, killing him would both waste our kill for the day, and also rid us of one of the few useful templates we have left. Let's NOT do that thing.

[anthusiasm]

Agreed. That would be a bad move, to the point where I'm starting to think the people who have recently been lobbying to kill Alphabeta are kind of suspicious.

Yesterday was annoyingly null when it comes to mafia itself. Both mafia and town want the cult gone, after all. I actually don't want Alphabeta voted out right at this second, I just don't want people to trust him and I don't want him to start a new cult. Alphabeta, who are your thralls? Can you/DanielH convert mafia members?

The fact that we don't know how many mafia member we have also means we don't know when we get to lynch or lose situation (also called LYLO). Because we had a cult the normal calculations for the size of the Mafia don't work. I counted we have 12 players still in the game, so it's probably not now, but the next day might be. Having an even amount of players alive during the day makes everything a little bit harder.

I have no idea about anyone's alignment, but I still have a bad feeling about Pistachi0n, and want them to talk more. Vote: Pistachi0n, come out and play.

[pistachi0n]

I was town. Now I'm a cultist. I got Chelsea'd the night before DanielH was revealed. I wasn't Chelsea'd enough to have access to the coordination channel but as far as I know there is no way of making new cultists now that Chelsea is dead. I'm not a threat.

1. Aestrix, 2. futurevision, 3. jalapeno_dude, 4. kuuskytkolme, 5. no.head.chicken, 6. Anthusiasm, 7. Paradox, 8. pistachi0n, 9. Shoal, 10. Tamien, 11. tau, and 12. Thatwasademo.
These are the same as last time because neither Daniel nor michaelblume were on my list. If anyone could confirm that pistachi0n is not a threat that can be narrowed down further. Right now I am planning to vote for whoever this link picks. It would be really cool if Shoal or someone posted a countdown image to see how much time is left.
