Posts from Mafia 110. Heckelia

Well, Master, I’ve shared my perspective on the actions for tonight. I haven’t given much thought to Al’m-Rafah in that role yet, but the rest seems reasonable to me, based on the newspaper.

In short, I read a bit, and I don’t know why you’re digging for clues about the Gunslinger when you killed the Mafia.

So, you, Heroist, are dismissing alternative possibilities other than the fact that the Mafia is dead?

No, I'm dismissing this for now; it's definitely an exaggeration, but after reading the newspaper, I'm almost certain that's how it is.

By the way, I also don't really like that the names of the indexes don't seem to match their actual descriptions in the newspaper. I'm not sure how much more confusion is needed in this regard.

We have an expansion here, not a mafia. We don't have that here; we need to think, yes.

Well, in principle, the expansion and the Mafia game aren't that different. In both, there are lengthy discussions to anticipate all possible scenarios and devise tactics, which never really work; players constantly die; one or two people carry the entire party; there are periodic outbursts among participants and the game master; and the host is Revan...

Yes, this applies to persimmons as well, generally speaking.

I wish I could die in Hurma right now.

I always lose when they place 1-2 units.

Basically, the expansion and the "mafia" game aren't that different.

In both cases, players don't read the setting or other players' posts, but that doesn't stop them from making judgments based on their own delusions or blindly following someone else's opinion, which was expressed in response to a question.

I wish I had time to read about the setting before the third day starts.

I was awakened from a state of half-sleep by the sounds of gunfire coming from outside.

The gunfire – firearms used by Alma and Rafaga.

What I saw made me sad – with her, the hope of the people of Heckel for a happy future definitely died.

I wouldn't connect this with Pionia. She is an ambassador from a foreign country; ordinary people may not even know her, let alone hope for something.
There was this passage about Albea:

When this unpleasant incident ended, I continued to explore the city, go shopping, and learn about local attractions until I came across the local queen accompanied by a well-armed guard. As I learned from the locals, Albea Veiling regularly toured the city in her free time from other work to learn about the state of affairs in El Ragn and how people live, in order to personally identify the most pressing problems and the most effective ways to solve them.

It seems that the people have a positive attitude towards Albea, and, considering that she is the queen, they may have placed their hopes on her.
But I don't really believe that Albea's murder would be described like this – she was shot in one of the alleys, like some kind of cur, there was no guard, the narrator just ran up to the body and started examining the scene. So, I am more inclined to think that Rafaga was killed.

— Life is stupid. — Fragment slowly emptied a wooden goblet filled to the brim and, upon completion of this process, loudly slammed it on the surface of the table at which he was sitting. — You grumble at your boss, pay taxes, but what's the point... The wise man from Clematis was right, it's not for nothing that the word "work" has the root "slave". I wish I could shoot myself in the head or put a noose around my neck to finally end my suffering.

Stupid Necoran

Neyra is very likely the Queen.
Slavery doesn't seem to bother the citizens, but the bright future of the country in the form of the Philosopher's Stone became impossible with the death of the leading scientist. Simply mentioning the word "hope" in Rafagi's biography doesn't mean anything.

Okay, Nebo first suggested this version with Rafagi, and Heroist further elevates it to an unshakeable truth and suggests not looking for clues. Sure, sure.
Ment, good point, I agree.

We've lost Aulus, who seems to only be good at defending, and his night defense ability is showing. Well, he's probably in the block.

Torn fingernails - I'm leaning towards this being Dario's "notorious cruelty," not acupuncture. So, Tox is in isolation.
Bruises - it seems like a duel.

By the way, Tox, why do you say that Inar definitely conducted the preparation? To me, the most logical thing would be to put explosives under Arandor's pillow. And there's no point in restoring defense on the first night.

What I don't understand is why Rafagi was killed. And the more I think about it, the less I understand.
He has the most useful Mafia night defense ability - investigation.
Let's look at it:
redirecting a random role to the next night - well, theoretically, this could reveal a role through a message in tomorrow's newspaper, but it's not a certainty.
stealing a voice - this usually happens on the first day of the Non-Night Vision phase.
block - it can help, but on the first night, there's a lack of information about who to block.
defense - useful if there's a player in the Mafia who is often killed.

of course, half of our Mafia is unarmed, so should we write to Revan, "a torn body was found in an alley, apparently killed with bare hands"?
maybe it's just a description, and it was actually Chen Lo who killed him? She can't be hanged, even if the clue turns out to be simple.

I also found something about the clue in the Perm region, but something doesn't seem right.
The three cartridges make me think of "there were three brothers, one founded Madrid, the second - a city with a cross, and the third's coat of arms has not survived." But I haven't found any such legends about Madrid.

There was this passage about Albia:

By the way, that's a pretty good argument.

We seem to have lost Aulus, who has nothing to do but defend, and his stats are showing up. Well, maybe he's stuck in a block.

Or, if Fragment really received a gift from Necoran, we no longer have a defender.

Regarding the snail, the search also gave me this Portain, but the combination isn't quite right either – a black bear on a white background (the commune's coat of arms), while the cross is on a red background (the flag of Switzerland).

In the description of the flag of Perm, there's another small detail, but it's still far from the tree:

"The flag of the city of Perm is a rectangular canvas with a width-to-length ratio of 2:3, red in color, with a two-sided image in the center of the flag of the main elements of the city of Perm's coat of arms – a silver (white) bear, walking to the left towards the flagpole, carrying a gold (yellow) Gospel on its back, above which is a silver (white) four-pointed, equilateral cross with expanding ends. The overall width of the image of the complex of the main elements of the city of Perm's coat of arms on the flag should be 2/5 of the length of the flag."

There is a coat of arms for Hammerfest, with the same white bear on a red background and the cross from the Norwegian flag. But there's still no tree.

NNV. It's risky to execute someone now; we need more information. For now, regarding Mент, it's likely he's a town member. Tox is currently the most probable Mafia member (minus many town roles based on the block and messages in the thread, but he also can't be one of the manuals, unless Inar was isolated). Something might become clear about Fragment in the next newspaper; after all, black magic is coming too late in the order of the Night Phase to influence current actions. I don't see any reliable options based on the clues. There was a good guess about Mент, but he seems to have been in the block. However, if the "beatings" are a description of the "special cruelty" from Dario's isolation, which Shizuo used, then that changes everything.

Revan, and the reflection of Shendet, if it works, does it somehow reflect in the description of death or the attitude of the reflected character?

By the way, Tox, why do you say that Inar definitely prepared something? To me, the most logical thing would be to put explosives under Arandor's pillow.

Well, look, if something happens to me...
And in general, people rarely visited me before, except for when they reported me. Nowadays, other players are more popular, if you look at the latest games.
