GIFTS LIST

❄ Brewster's Gift "Drink it hot or give it up." (Hot Potato)
The Hot Potato explodes at the end of a day designated by the host before the start of the game, killing the player holding it. The holder of the Hot Potato doesn't know when it will explode, but he can pass it to another player at night, separately from any night ability he has. This passing can't be blocked. If the holder gets killed, the Potato explodes killing both the holder and the killer; if the holder is lynched, the Potato [dies with him].
❄ Kicks' Gift "You never know how things might turn out." (single-use Bar Keeper redirect)
One player ends up being the drunkest and uses his night action on a random player.
❄ CJ's Gift "A night cruise is a good way to catch night fish." (single-use Mafia Detective)
The Mafia Detective has the ability to investigate one player per Night and learn the player's Role. Only he is told the role of his target via PM. Whenever the Mafia Detective's investigation ability is performed, he cannot be chosen to go for a kill on the same night.
❄ Wisp's Gift "Tah-Dahh!" (this player's votes are worded as "Ho ho ho" during the next day)

❄ Jingle's Gift "Isn't this the best time of the year, kid?" Mandatory 5th Gift
(Santa Clause: this gift allows the game to go on. At the end of the game, Santa wins with the other winning party. Happy celebration ;)



Now first lemme thank @Erinyes for her massive participation in the game. At first, I got the November slot to host alone, and she asked me to join and I'm so happy she did! She's not only a very curious and interested person so we had a very nice and easy time discussing our ideas, but she also has the strength and endurance of a lion... I was often dead while we were hosting, but Erinchi followed everything and kept the game organized. She barely slept @.@ And that's a testimony I really needed to share with you all, 'cause her dedication and calm deserve lots of appreciation.

Also thanks @Hardy and @Vandred for double-checking the game mech (and in Poop's case, the comp as well) and giving us your honest thoughts, so we could try to present a game that would be fair and entertaining to people.

And finally, even tho some other points were addressed already, I'd like to thank all the players, from the heart. I know this game was too soon because of my availability due to local holidays, and I know you guys were tired - which for sure didn't improve during this time lol. So I really need to commend you all, because you guys were either putting in a lot of time and effort inside the game, analyzing and discussing nonstop, or in the deadpad - you guys also got no rest. As hosts, that's the biggest kind of feedback we could get: to have you guys really onboard. Some moves were questionable, but no one can't say any of those teams weren't trying... it's only natural that drained people will make some mistakes, so to me that's another sign of the praise you guys deserve.

Quick comments about the game that I've mentioned in the deadpad already: in general, the idea with the mech was to add a simple new function (and we tried to map beforehand the main game new considerations we'd need to have it in place) but that could allow a new set of strategical moves to be exploited - now I would reconsider the priority we used since we realize it would have been more adherent to people's preference. The game also had 2 Traitors 'cause Pirate is a VERY weak mafia that can suicide and lose the ability to kill later on, so we wanted to give them better odds (lemme say it one more time in here that the notion that means town had 2 extra people to lynch is wrong, first because town had 2 killing tools in the Prosecutor and the Banshee, and second because they don't need to eliminate unrecruited traitors to win). It had 2 Psys 'cause even tho we wanted mafia to have better chances to recruit, that didn't mean we wanted them to recruit BOTH, so town had more chances to find at least one on the other hand (even if one role would get erased eventually), and at the same time the role could cause some confusion that mafia could exploit. The Mortician came in place to trace stuff like Santa and fake claims/transfers regarding any role/action that got "buried" - imo it's more effective than the SM because it can target antitown and spot unknown stuff that could still be in-game; it was a late game resource that had good chances of being effective with the role transfer mech. The Necromancer was also in there for its recycling capabilities since we'd have roles being lost, and in this setup it would be less OP than it usually is, since his options would still be reduced. The Santa was there for extra fun, imo, since the role could still be used even if the OG player and their wincon was gone: two gifts - that we expected to be the last ones - were clear signs that there was a Santa in-game in case it would fly by too successfully - and even that was just to cause some ruckus since the last gift allowed the game to go on after Santa would win - which to me it's a needed measure so we won't have sudden major frustration with an unexpected game end (I do understand why the game usually has to end when Santa is in it, so people don't ignore the role, but in this case we saw an opportunity to play around that and fix the issue regarding that); Santa's other gifts were there to provide some extra spice but unfortunately, as you can see in the night actions, I made a mistake while processing GB's action with the Hot Potato. GB got blocked by Evil when he tried to pass it to James and I overlooked it that the passing can't be blocked. It would have been simple to fix it during the day by PMing the both of them if Bran didn't spy on GB and, coincidentally, Sam hadn't claimed the exact same action and outcome. After discussing with some people, we reached the conclusion that the attitude that would cause the least interference and damage to a bigger number of players would be to just remove the Hot Potato from the game and inform that to GB, which is what we did.

GG mafia, you fought the long battle and won! GG town, it's never easy to be on the more clueless side, trying to put pieces together. GG Santa cause Santa is always fun~

Va bene, and what has to do with the me? Your whole premiss for this is you believe holt. Holt gave me the credit for not being Secondary, he checked me N1 accordingly.
No, I believe Holt is Psychiatrist but not his results, I figure he would have come out way earlier if he truly knew James was "innocent"

Thats not reason I want to know what you are, if you and I are the same thing then we are going to have problems.

Certo, we can settle that tomorrow then, why make a ruckus and confuse town now when we have two certain scums now. That will just create more uncertainy and room for mafia to manipulate some disheartend towns, plus some are already locked out.

What I can say I was hinting for two roles, a fake and a real role hint. don't see why I should the give information to the mafia I will tell the real role tomorrow, then I agree that is the time.

I mean

1- You did the "Raven move" with Crescent day 1, she reciprocated and then you two went your separate ways, no further incisiveness.
2 - Rejected to read Gry wrong on Day 1 when he was the main focus of the day, I would have expected at least one single thread of communication with him, nothing.
3 - Knew a highly uncooperative Asako was good for reasons unknown, yet didnt actually try to move the lynch in digital, Crescent or Marm's direction. Instead chose to go for James case, who actually went full force on GrySun the previous

Most players would get lynched for far less evidence.
1. Yeah i failed the gry thing tbh was busy day irl too so i missed early phase and it was pointless from my pov to join bandwagon when his teammates can do that nicely anyway

2. i dont have anything solid on crescent plus she can be an actual noble idk she is too troll to say at this point. Only pepega thing i saw was her will to triple lynch or something, plus the way she uses her role is not mafia like so i let it go for now

3. i didnt go for asako because me and her were in similiar situation, i also didnt think that thing vs gry actually was real but alas i was wrong, and i went for james due to bakatai reveal and ky theory that he is a scum traitor

Very well, tomorrow it is, if my theory is correct then Mafia would not touch us tonight since they would have their hands full with Nat and Sam already (Doctor-chan please).

But I still feel like we are missing a piece of the puzzle, since we failed at going stealth then we might aswell just force the structure to reveal itself

I hope so. Unless them make the 300 IQ play and send the Pirate to one of them, then kill. But Marms would need do it by end this day, if they didn't discuss her death scenario on N2, they will be scared of uncertainty. Cazzo, I hope we have a sucky mafia, this mechanic is giving me headaches.

1 - You didn't fail, what you did is not try, which is a different thing.
2 - Highly questionable input, irrelevant Noble votes, sharing your surveillance mode despite biting, or "nibbling" would be a more accuarate term, each other Day 1.

If Gry didnt pass the Strongman to Mafia as I theorize, then the most obvious target for him was a Town Crescent to make her lose her Noble status, but she conveniently was left untouched, we know how scummy plays tend to be regarded as "coincidences".

3 - You believed her because she was the same as you? But she wasn't.
She spoke, albeit to say "I have nothing to say other than I did what I wanted to do".
Your way was looking at everything unfold and just say "James better lynch, she good".

Mi amico, but of course I am. It is foolish not to be and assume they passed the OP Strongman role to town. Who in the right mind would do this *italian hand emoji*

Who should I use mortician on tonight?
Sakura I guess, Kat if we messed up with lynching her and she's actually Town.

If Kat is Shapeshifter and you indeed got no result then you are already dead

Shadroid - hm I'll say I appreciated his comprehensive explanation on why he trusts Evil, or why he didn't mind him claiming. Though I can admit I was probs tunnelling on him and Evil for the wrong reasons, I still think at this point Evil should have claimed sth, esp with Spy and Det out.
Lambon - Love the bird but his offensive on Evil is slightly strange to me. He suspects Evil of being a traitor but also believes Holt is a second psych. On the other hand he also potentially distrusts Evil for having the same role (which.. he should believe if there's a double role). But then he also just dropped the topic despite the fact that Evil could now go to his buddies and makeup anything. As Shad mentioned yday, if Evil is or was a traitor/passive, he can just make up anything. Why not force him to claim now instead of giving him a day to meditate on the subject? I think we should push harder for his claim.
Nat - Det I trust
Sam - Spy I trust
DD - I'm curious what he thinks of the current developments, I think it's been a while since we've heard from him.

Brandi & GB - They have to claim today, aside from Evil and Lambs only players not to actually say what they are. I put them as less mistrusted than say Evil bc with Evil I see some relational problems arise (his entanglement with Holt and James) whereas afaik these two are sus on their own.
Jinx - Very strange voting behaviour. I don't distrust her fully, but at least maybe investigate her to find out if she's a flippant mafia or lazy town. This role simply makes it super easy to coast by, it confirms itself but it's simultaneously probably never the most important role to take out before late-game, so it even has some semblance of protection. Sooner than later we should figure out which Noble she is.

Noticing a little trifecta forming around these guys
Evil
- Refusing to claim even after valuable investigative roles have come out with their stuff, there's no passive that is more valuable than those roles. Said he was lying about some hints, so could have equally possibly lied about liking his role earlier on, no? This is part of why Shad trusts him but he's admitted to the possibility of that being a lie. Of course, he will retort with 'no that was the true and real clue, I love my role, it's just an active not a passive: the third psychiatrist'. Worth noting that our Lord and Saviour Holt also happened to target this non-claimer. He's gonna spend the night thinking of a role that fits all his silly criteria Needs to be investigated.
GOD Holt
- I am willing to believe that there are traitors and naive traitors out there, maybe lovers, but why would town need two psychs to find them? His targets are also a little odd, why would he double-target James who Bakatai was going to target anyway just in case? Who'd possibly expect her to die? Let's say she was alive, could we really believe it when he'd come out to admit sharing a target with her on N2? According to his theory, James is not a lover but a recruited traitor possibly? He could be planning on throwing him under the bus, knowing he was recruited. This could be useful since he'd be the one sitting on a role whereas James is a roleless mafia. Needs to be investigated.
James -
Doko? I btw wonder if he had an actual role or if he was lying about that too. Maybe he's a real doc? Interesting to note is that GOD Holt has targeted this guy and Evil, with Evil vouching HARD for him on Bakatai when she was spilling the tea. When pressed, he said 'haha oops'. Rather than Lover, maybe he's a traitor, recruited by Holt or sth.

So tl;dr, Evil believes Holt (claims Bakatai's role) and spares/defends James (outed by Bakatai), Holt investigates Evil and James (investigated by Bakatai), James claimed a temp role that disappeared following the no-death night. If she was alive, she could have provided a result that contradicts Holt or ousts James. Hell, maybe they're the lover core or sth, with one of them being TSC or sth?

Katsko - Hider claim was built into SS so that was strange to jump to. DD and Nat didn't get results, which might indicate that they were targeted by Kat (or at least one of them, Nat is equally likely to be blocked as she is to be illusioned. In fact, that at the very least implies Nat still has her role, bc if mafo did block/steal layer strats as was suggested earlier by idk who, that would have popped her should she have been illusioned.). If she's a killing TP, it'll make me wonder about the size of the mafia


EDIT: Made DD green, as he's in the green row

Caaaazzzo...





Evil believes Holt (claims Bakatai's role) and spares/defends James (outed by Bakatai)
Just gonna reply to this blatant lie and debunk your whole crack den theory.

While I can confirm signore Holt's result of not having Second role, the claim itself doesn't sit well with me. :sweatdrop

He said he picked me for some reason, a target that hardly anyone had suspected on that D1 (zero votes) and still came around without much negative attention even despite the mislynch last day (apart from some fringe theories about being a ...must not say.. Tr..ai... raitor D: ).

And yesterday's target is even funnier! Most of us were literally shocked the chose Baka over Nat, even that far shocked to make weird theories about them not having Strongman actually, but somehow Holt knew it all along and double checked James. Ha-Ha. Ok, but have you thought of what happened if Baka would survive, then you would just have even more concenient claims and repeat what she investigated, which would be super sus.

Is Holt actually Shapeguy and we are really Illusions now? 😭 Cazzo, we wouldn't even know, as we don't have roles that would indicate that anything is wrong... 😭

But va bene, this is talk for an other day.

Several bullet points here why I don't believe in Holt.
There. Eat it. Mangi.
Didn't see you collect any thoughts on him like at all, but your mimimi they bullied me all day, why they no bully the holt. :fail

He suspects Evil of being a traitor
I suspect Evil of being a possible Mafia Lover, that or a deep Mafia tactic. Ten longer he holds to it the more I think he's claiming my role to justify not being killed for the longest time.

For James too, I said several times we will need to lynch James, but right now if he is Lover he is rather a nuisance for Mafia, and if Holt is legit somehow, which is questionable, then he is recruited Tr...ai...tor.. tractor! Both non town scenarios. Baka already caught him, and his Temp Doc is a super lie, we all agree to that. But 1) I don't believe holt, I rather think he is Lover, 2) GB really wants James dead and GB is very likely mafia, means it is indeed Lover. 3) even if he is recruited farm Tractor is not as important, as we already know him. Minchia, cazzo di merda, this all town talk for tomorrow. I already am approaching 200 posts here.

A funny gif is not an argument :hmph

And fine, you have some words on record saying you don't trust him. But that wasn't the sticking point of my argument, it's that you're involved manifold with each other.

Hm but then why aren't you forcing him to claim, if you think you have the actual role?

Ah but with all that said there are several people that go before looking at Evil, like a long list. Also @Copy Panda if theres a double role gimmick going on you could still be another Mafia Pirate, the targetting Shad thing is obscure to say the least.
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

Because there are 3 roles that he could be claiming and each one would move into different theories about him. If he was a lynch candidate I would push, no questions asked, but we are still missing a couple pieces to draw solid conclusions.

Outside of you, 3 players with roles unclaimed (Evil, Brandi, Gb), a troll voter (Jinx), a double role claimer (when there's barely any secondaries or gimmicks to be seen) and a known mafo quantity in James.. and you still breaking your head over me changing my mind zzz

Wow, maronna mia, literally just copied what I wrote about him HOURS ago. Big brain move, thanks illusion bear.
