I was going to get on here and WIFOM a bunch of scenarios about how nolynch could provide us with some interesting night analysis, but tbh, I think it's really good to get the item out of the way.

Blech. I'm not feeling very inspired right now and I'm having a tough time connecting this character to this item. Maybe I'll finish this up another time, but the gist is that Willie ended up boning some military dude who was involved with experiments on the Ark of the Covenant, and she inadvertently opened it - mostly likely involving her boobs in some fashion.
Cantripmancer has been lynched. He was Willie Scott, Vanilla Town.
He had the Ark of the Covenant item.
It is now Night 2. Night actions are due by, oh let's say, Tuesday 3 pm central.

I agree that makes it significantly more likely there's just one more Mafia, though 2 is still not out of the realm of possibility.

Guardman probably tried to kill RO. Good thing I protected RO.
I was fairly certain that Guardman was the anti-town party in all of that..and if I was wrong, we'd just lynch RO today anyway. Semed like a risk worth taking.
I didn't take them but I have them. It says I found a package waiting for me when I went to go to sleep. Apparently I got the stones before night even began so I'm not sure what's going on.

Hope Teknolink checks in soon.
I am really frusturated with this. I believe that R0 is scum. I outlined these reasons yesterday. It would have been nice to have him die during the night.
Think Cyan, do you really believe that there is an SK, a full vig and a mafia team? For the exact same reasons that we said there couldn't be two full-vigs, the setup I just outlined can't exist - 3 kills a night is too swingy. I'd like to lynch R0.

Wait, so you're actually saying that since red_0mega claimed vig and was countered by Guardman WHO LIED, that red_0mega is scum? This is a mini, so I don't think 3 kills a night (even though we've had 3 kills total) is that unheard of.
Speaking of, interesting that, if red_0mega is town, that scum didn't kill. So blatantly obvious, but I'll leave it at that for now.
We do seem to be missing a Mafia kill if it wasn't RO killing Guardman. Which is not to say there couldn't be other reasons for this.

Really, I see pretty much no way that R0 can be town.
You have to accept that:
N1 the mafia made no kill. R0 killed WoD.
N2 the mafia again made no kill. R0 killed Guardman.
There is a full-vig, an SK, and a mafia team all in a mini. Combine this with the Ark of the Covenant item that was here previously and the game could possibly be over on D2.
R0 claimed one-shot vig to get scum to counterclaim him but then switched his mind.
R0 is Indiana Jones (flavour heavily implies that we are just characters in his mind).
kpaca, who I can't recall expressing suspicion on WoD but definitely did think Cyan was lying and was suspicious of AK, submitted a vig-shot on WoD and not Cyan or AK.
----
It is all just too much to swallow. What probably happened here is that R0 replaced in, saw that it was only a 2-man scumgroup and his buddy was dead which put him on edge and was worried about tracker/watcher stuff and so claimed the mafia kill as a vig shot. When counterclaimed he had to up the stakes and as the sole mafioso remaining could follow up on his full-vig claim easily enough until enough townies were dead for him to win.
He needs to go. I'm just waiting on TeknoLink on the miniscule chance that he has a guilty on someone else.
@MH: TL wanting to know where the stones are before claiming makes sense - it lets him know that a guilty is really a guilty.
I do not know what to say. I was not expecting to still be alive. Actually, I was rather looking forward to not being here anymore. I have no idea why it appears that the mafia has not killed either Night.
I have defended my actions as much as I am able to. The only thing that I can do at this point is resume scumhunting to the best of my ability. To that end, my feelings on TeknoLink have not changed. I think that he is most likely false-claiming and saying that he was roleblocked to explain why he does not have an investigation to give us. I do not like that he was more worried about the item being taken than letting us know that he was roleblocked. Buying time to get advice from his scumbuddies and/or think up the roleblock plan and flavor on his own?
Okay, well, I guess I'll have to say this now - I did receive an Item last Night that makes me untargetable. I received this at the beginning of the Night, much as Calvin has described. My speculations go thusly:
-Someone presumably had this item before I got it, so they know I'm telling the truth about having it.
-Someting happened last Night to cause items to shuffle around (randomly?). I do not believe I was "passed" this item, because I received it at the beginning of the Night, not as the last thing, and the same thing happened to Calvin.
-Due to the existance of this item, it is, in fact, possible that the Mafia have just been missing their kills. I have no information at all that the Mafia attempted to kill me, it just seems possible.
-Technolink either somehow knows (or has guessed) that I ended up with this item and therefore can convincingly fake a result on me, or he's telling the truth.
-This item blocks the holder from taking any other actions other than passing it. If a scum had it to start with, it could possibly explain why there was no scum kill N1 (scum #1 wanted to keep the item and AI wanted to use his Redirect). It doesn't so much explain the lack of a Mafia kill last Night, unless they tried to kill me, failed to submit, or it's really RO.
That may be all I got at the moment.

Isn't it also possible that same scum couldn't submit a kill because of the item? Or do you believe he would have been able to once the item was passed on?

The way I got it at the beginning of the Night made me believe that whoever had it previously would now be able to take an action. I had the opportunity to pass the item last night, the same Night I received it, if I had wanted to, but I chose to keep it.

I think this item may clear red_0mega. Hear me out and tell me if my theory is wrong.
This item prohibits it's holder from performing any other action. I think it's safe to assume that Axelrod's theory of "This item blocks the holder from taking any other actions other than passing it. If a scum had it to start with, it could possibly explain why there was no scum kill N1 (scum #1 wanted to keep the item and AI wanted to use his Redirect)" is probably the best reason for no scum kill N1. Therefore, since red_0mega killed WoD N1, he didn't have the item and, assuming there's only 2 scum on the team, can't be scum.
If this is the case of what happened, then likely Axelrod's other theory of "scum probably tried to kill me last night" doesn't make sense then, because they would have known he had that item and was untargetable.
However, it is possible that the remaining scum is playing a huge gambit on us to get us to all lynch each other. If this is the case, then the remaining scum is TeknoLink and he's been incredibly lucky.
Ugh, there are so many possibilities and I don't know which makes more sense because some part of all of them makes no sense. However, Occam's Razor leads us to believe red_0mega is the last scum, so as much as I don't like this idea because I still have a feeling he's town, I think we need to lynch red_0mega. I'd prefer if someone could think of another plan to put this off to give him one more night to catch scum, but I can't think of anyone else that scummy-ish (other than Tekno, but few agree) so...that's where I stand. I'll support either a red_0mega lynch or a TeknoLink lynch as of right now, but leaning red_0mega.
The way I got it at the beginning of the Night made me believe that whoever had it previously would now be able to take an action. I had the opportunity to pass the item last night, the same Night I received it, if I had wanted to, but I chose to keep it.
Hmm, yeah, then it's doubtful that scum tried to fire on you last night.
Could they have tried to fire on red_0mega, too, or will the doc protect only protect from the first target in a night?
Does anyone have a night-kill immunity item they can claim? Because this may clear some confusion, too, so best not to continue holding it.
I'm curious what SP knows or was hinting at in his last post.
I want to stress again that I don't think I was "passed" this item in the traditional manner. Considering that Calvin got an item that was not "passed" to him either, this makes me think there was some kind of "shuffle" going on.
I would like whoever had this item previouisly to speak up about it. Notwithstanding there's currently a theory that said person might possibly be scum. If you don't speak, I going to be assuming that's the case.

You most definitely weren't passed the item.
I had the item in question since I replaced in. As I was contemplating who I should pass it to, if anyone, I got a notification that it was gone. I can also verify that I (my character) has had it since the beginning of the game, so red_0mega is still very likely scum.
Okay, so, does anyone want to fess up to being the reason these items got passed around last Night? We still do not have any explanation for that that I am aware of.

Right. I can agree with Calvin's point that he got the item at the start of the night. However. Unfortunately, I've been roleblocked(or hit an untargetable). Alll my pictures of Axelrod were overlit, so they're completly blank.
So Axelrod, are you in fact untargetable? Because else we have a roleblocker in our midst.
Okay, well, I guess I'll have to say this now - I did receive an Item last Night that makes me untargetable. I received this at the beginning of the Night, much as Calvin has described. My speculations go thusly:

Very interesting. The existence of this item makes the existence of a full-vig slightly more believable for me as one of the numerous kills would probably fail due to a doc protect, kill on someone with this item, or the killer would have this item and not be able to kill.
And of course it could be a possible explanation for the missing kills.
I'd like to propose a mass-claim so that we have everything on the table and can move from there. Right now the cop and doc are revealed anyway and there's probably only one scum left.
Right now I believe Cyan and Tekno and have MH as town. I'm not as sure on Axelrod, SP, and R0. R0 is still my favorite choice for today's lynch.
Is there any reason people can think of that we shouldn't massclaim?
R_O - Indy Jones as the FULL VIG.
Cyan - ???? as the DOC
Me - Marion Ravenwood as the COP
MH - ???? as the vanilla
Silent Prophet - ???? as the ????
Axelrod - ???? as the ????
Anyone I forgot?
Calvin.
I don't remember MX claiming vanilla, but if she did that's fine. I think if this is going to be done then it would need to include items as well, items that you started with and what you did with them + what you have now.
I'm not going to fully endorse this idea yet because I still haven't actually re-read anything in quite awhile. Maybe doing that will set me onto something.

Fair enough. And items should definitely be included.
What ever the case, lets start claiming, starting with our MH. For obvious reasons.
I am Colonel Herman Dietrich: I am pretty apathetic about everything, but I followed my order to obtain the Ark.
Vanilla town - I have obtained no other items since the Ark was taken from me.
Walter Donovan, Vanilla, I had the item that Axelrod currently has since the beginning of the game until last night. I didn't receive any items in return.
If needed, I can paraphrase the flavor in my PM. By the sounds of it, he might have been a bad guy in one of the movies? * Silent Prophet has never watched the movies.
I have a theory (it could be bunnies:glee:), but I would also like to hear Axelrod's explanation about the failings against him last night.
My theory might also be able to explain the failure of the first nightkill.
Do you not have anything to add to this discussion? Axelrod has answered, so I'd like to hear what your theory is/was, even if it's "impossible" now because I'm starting to think nothing's impossible in this game.
I guess I missed the part where this claim was a done deal, but whatever.
I'm Wan “Short Round” Li
Bus Driver
(if you don't know, this means each night I can pick two people, and then whoever tries to target one of them will instead target the other.)
@Silent Prophet: how could you not have seen these movies? Are you some kind of Amish person?

I vaguely remember watching one of them when I was younger. Indy was walking on something...he had to step on certain stones or something, or it collapsed underneath him, I think. I've been meaning to watch them, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
It disturbingly occurs to me for no particular reason that it's possible Technolink tried to kill me last Night, and learned about the untargetability that way....
Waiting for Calvin to finish off these claims I guess.

There is a full-vig, an SK, and a mafia team all in a mini. Combine this with the Ark of the Covenant item that was here previously and the game could possibly be over on D2.

Could they have tried to fire on red_0mega, too, or will the doc protect only protect from the first target in a night?
Does anyone have a night-kill immunity item they can claim? Because this may clear some confusion, too, so best not to continue holding it.

I want to stress again that I don't think I was "passed" this item in the traditional manner. Considering that Calvin got an item that was not "passed" to him either, this makes me think there was some kind of "shuffle" going on.
I would like whoever had this item previouisly to speak up about it. Notwithstanding there's currently a theory that said person might possibly be scum. If you don't speak, I going to be assuming that's the case.

You most definitely weren't passed the item.
I had the item in question since I replaced in. As I was contemplating who I should pass it to, if anyone, I got a notification that it was gone. I can also verify that I (my character) has had it since the beginning of the game, so red_0mega is still very likely scum.

Hmm unfortunate.
Very interesting. The existence of this item makes the existence of a full-vig slightly more believable for me as one of the numerous kills would probably fail due to a doc protect, kill on someone with this item, or the killer would have this item and not be able to kill.
And of course it could be a possible explanation for the missing kills.
I'd like to propose a mass-claim so that we have everything on the table and can move from there. Right now the cop and doc are revealed anyway and there's probably only one scum left.
Right now I believe Cyan and Tekno and have MH as town. I'm not as sure on Axelrod, SP, and R0. R0 is still my favorite choice for today's lynch.
Is there any reason people can think of that we shouldn't massclaim?

Calvin.
I don't remember MX claiming vanilla, but if she did that's fine. I think if this is going to be done then it would need to include items as well, items that you started with and what you did with them + what you have now.
I'm not going to fully endorse this idea yet because I still haven't actually re-read anything in quite awhile. Maybe doing that will set me onto something.
R_O - Indy Jones as the FULL VIG.
Cyan - Dr. Elsa Schneider as the DOC
TL - Marion Ravenwood as the COP
MH - ???? as the ????
Silent Prophet - ???? as the ????
Axelrod - ???? as the ????
Calvin - ???? as the ????
Fair enough. And items should definitely be included.

I am Colonel Herman Dietrich: I am pretty apathetic about everything, but I followed my order to obtain the Ark.
Vanilla town - I have obtained no other items since the Ark was taken from me.

If needed, I can paraphrase the flavor in my PM. By the sounds of it, he might have been a bad guy in one of the movies? * Silent Prophet has never watched the movies.

Do you not have anything to add to this discussion? Axelrod has answered, so I'd like to hear what your theory is/was, even if it's "impossible" now because I'm starting to think nothing's impossible in this game.

(if you don't know, this means each night I can pick two people, and then whoever tries to target one of them will instead target the other.)
@Silent Prophet: how could you not have seen these movies? Are you some kind of Amish person?
I'm actually baptized Mennonite
I vaguely remember watching one of them when I was younger. Indy was walking on something...he had to step on certain stones or something, or it collapsed underneath him, I think. I've been meaning to watch them, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Crystal Skulls was ok, but nothing compared to the first three.
Sorry, Axel. I really didn't see any reason not to mass-claim since we're, like, stuck where we're at right now.

Waiting for Calvin to finish off these claims I guess.
