Posts from Mafia 109. Dreams of the Void Warriors Auto-translated

Well, basically, if black eyes really mean Ataraxia, then I don't see any reason why the Mafia wouldn't have used a check along with the 3rd kill. That would mean Fragment could be the 1st.

In any case, whoever he is, I'm opening a thread to execute Fragment.

Nah, it's unlikely that the Mafia would be described with black eyes; it's just the outline that's black, and the eyes are white. But yes, Fragment has a pretty good chance of being the Mafia.

One thing that’s good is that the roles here are noticeably simpler, although the tables will be less useful, it seems.

Never mind, I got confused.

Raymond Holm (Fragment) didn't feel well. He got out of bed with great difficulty. And during breakfast, he didn't touch the food, indifferently watching the others.

Raymond was dreaming. Falling, a whistling in his ears, a crash. Darkness. He comes to on a hospital bed, all broken. Unable to move or fall asleep again, he stares blankly into space. Morning begins, gradually becoming lighter. His vision starts to pick out objects that don't match the surroundings of the ward. Oh, right... Schmerthlofer.
Raymond sat up heavily on the bed and looked around the room he was in. It was quite comfortable, and he wasn't used to that. After his miserable little room at home, his presence here seemed unreal. Reaching for his jacket, he pulled out a flask of vodka he had hidden and took a small sip. The feeling of weakness began to subside.
Going down for breakfast, he met Schmerthlofer and his team. The meaning of his words escaped Raymond, as if water through a sieve, and the feeling of unreality only intensified. He had no appetite at all, although he understood that he should eat something. The vodka he drank seemed to be asking to come out, even though he had only taken a couple of small sips. Without saying a word to anyone, Raymond left the room.

In short, Fragment, you do... not that. Don't let that happen to you.

Yes, I understand, okay. The most logical course of action for the villains tonight, I think, is murder and a check from the mafia, and the maniac stays put. There's a possibility that the maniac and the Town Watchman came to an agreement, but that's unlikely. As for the checks, I only saw two, one from the mafia, the other from the maniac/Town Watchman. Either way, it's hard to judge definitively right now.

Regarding the clue, the Master's version is not bad, except for the beginning; Gumilev is clearly unnecessary there, and you can't transition from him to the Iranian-Byzantine War. You can transition from him to the ancient Turks, but that's different, and I couldn't find any references to just the Turks. The rest of the links seem to fit. I'll try to guess too.
Okay, for now, let's lynch Nefela, and wait to see what she says and what we find in the clue.

Couldn't someone just sit back and wait to betray and undermine?

Couldn't someone just sit back and let it happen?

Are you defending Fragment? ))

Fragment, here's a task for you. Based on the descriptions in the newspaper, determine who was on duty last night.

Nefela, what do you think of the clue from the Master?

Master, who do you think Fragment is?

Given that he is suspected of being a Mafia member, it would be strange to defend him. Rather, I don't rule out the possibility of a setup, considering the number of players who are afraid to kill in the first night for a solo play. But the probability of him being Mafia is high, as there are no peaceful roles identified yet. Of course, one could argue that he is a very clever setup player, but that seems unlikely, and besides, the Mafia member gets protection after a kill, so it is in his interest to kill someone. So, I think it's worth taking a risk with Fragment and see the result. And at the same time, gather clues, pay attention to the suspects, etc. (and yes, I'm just now rechecking some of the rules regarding roles, descriptions, etc.).

The only thing that bothers me is that if the Fragment Maniac used the "Kill" ability, why didn't he use it with block ignore? In my opinion, this function is always better, especially at the beginning.
If I were a mage, I would use check + kill.

Not bad, Arandor. For now, I'll play with you on the first day; I like your way of thinking.

There's also the possibility that the Fragment killed with block ignore, but it hit the Ethereal Shield or Pain Ignore.

In defense, there's still some hope, at least the chances are better than if they just ignore it. But if we consider it from a defensive perspective, maybe this is a special kind of player who uses redirection instead of checking? I certainly hope not. There have been many instances where the killer was identified through blocking on the very first night.

. Nefela, how did you like the clue from the Master?

I generally like it.
But, in my opinion, it's worth looking further.

I can already shout "Sammaf!!!" without any arguments and, in a completely rude way, close the quota for "at least one message per game day?" :D

Actually, many times in the very first night, they exposed the killer through the block.

Purely based on the theory of probability, we can assume that the maniac decided to frame the blocked player and shift the suspicion of being a maniac onto him.

We have, like, only two blocks (town and mafia) for... 13 people, right?
Now one, yes...

Well, considering the nature of his mana, it really is pointless for him to just sit around doing nothing until he gets his first kill. Unless it's some 500 IQ multi-step player who's playing Russian roulette, of course. Let's start by **punishing Fragment**.

Doctor Schmerztlofer’s hotel turned out to be too neat and tidy – Bozo wasn’t used to living in such conditions, so his inner discomfort only intensified.

The perfectly clean porch, the professor and his team, dressed impeccably, the chairs neatly placed under the tables – all of this irritated the former actor so much that he was already thinking about escaping.
And this bunch of “patients”... Deep down, Bozo understood that they might be normal guys, but for now, he didn’t trust any of them.
Wanting to get rid of their company as soon as possible, Bozo took an envelope first and quietly left. deleted

As soon as the man entered his room, his eyes fell on a newspaper that stood out against the rest of the decor. As in the entire hotel, all the interior items were in perfect order, and only this piece of paper, carelessly crumpled and thrown on the edge of the bed, gave Bozo a feeling of home. Having not felt such joy for a long time, he jumped onto the bed and began to read.

So, what happened:

1) The Yaschur died. As far as I understand, he was either Despair (wants to raise his sword, but can’t), or Melancholy (if a warrior doesn’t kill him, then a rider will).
The winged warrior is like the second one, the others don’t really look like warriors (the first is an angel, the third is a demon);
2) Fragment blocked the Third Warrior/Melancholy;
3) Countess Orlova was protected by Happiness;
4) Two of Despair/First Warrior/Ataraxia used checks;
5) Considering that there was also a murder, the Mafia used either a block or a check.

That’s all for now, now we can try to solve the clue

Crabby, read my interpretation in the thread; everything there is quite obvious.

As for the clues—I opened this article in the wiki https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%98...%D0%BD%D1 %8B—and clicked through the military commanders listed in it, looking for a match by dates, but found none.

Added after 11 minutes
Well, I dug up something that fits very nicely via reverse feedback, though it's not particularly obvious directly.

On May 15, Crabby has Persian Language Day, and from there are already several ways to get to the Irano-Byzantine wars, mainly through the Shahnameh

ToX, why are "mighty hands" equal to "Third Warrior"? Just because he's not wearing anything? %)

Regarding the different ways the checks are displayed - the second one is definitely Despair, but the first one - I don't know, it could be Warrior or Ataraxia.

For now, I like the option of executing Fragment more than Nefelu (after all, I believe that such a long riddle is too difficult).

Firstly, based on the events of the night, he really seems to be Ataraxia;
Secondly, he very quickly gave up his vote for Nefelu. I understand that he didn't want to die, but it seemed a bit too much %)
