Posts from Mafia 27. The problem of Bovblob residents Auto-translated

Yes, the vegetable creature went to Hostor. I got that mixed up.

The newspaper will be out around the same time as last time (18:00-19:00 MSK). Or maybe even earlier, depending on how the shawarma settles.

Magic Tricks

Last night's events and the mysterious killer-jelly have left the residents of Bovblob wondering if they are growing their cucumbers correctly. Could this be a punishment from Ogurtsov?...

…The Chief Elf was already awake; he woke up early and set out with his partner in search of whiskey bars witnesses and anyone who had seen something suspicious or someone suspicious…

...The first person they visited was Kyle.
-Good day, miss! You look wonderful!
- I am sir!
-Good day, sir! You look wonderful! How is your jelly?
- I don't understand what you are talking about.
- Are you a grinder?
- In what sense?
- Well, do you grind?
- I don't understand you.
- Fine, you don't have to answer that question. Better tell me, did you notice anything suspicious yesterday, or anyone suspicious?
- I did!
- What?!!
- My Gracilyceratops had an upset stomach. Do you think maybe I shouldn't have fed it wasabi?
- I think you shouldn't have.
- I knew it…
- Did you notice anything else?
-The llamas in the park were cold yesterday; it was cold to sit, and when playing chess, one needs to sit on something warm…Yes, and also tonight, someone dug up all my cookies, and they had taken so well this year, cursed thieves…and that Gil4, his music has been playing all day, I'm sick of it…
-Thank you for the information, sir! Have a great day!

…The next house the elves headed to was Xostor's house. They knocked on the door…
-Who's there?
-Perverted maniacs!
-Come in!
-Good day, sir!
-I am miss.
-Good day, miss.
-Actually, I am sir.
-Proof or liar!!!
-Why are you here?
-Investigating the jelly case, you've probably heard?
- Yes, I've heard, but what does that have to do with me?
-Where were you last night?!!
-I was at home, cooking jelly, talking to a friend via cat, and what were you doing?

...The elf turned to his partner and whispered:

-It's not him, I knew it right away.
-How did you know that?
- I was the one talking to him via cat yesterday.
-Aaaaaa…

...The elf turned back to Xostor and asked:

-And have you noticed anything suspicious lately?
-Hmm..something strange was following me tonight while I was watering the tigers, but other than that, nothing.
-And why do you have bananas in your ears?
-I have no idea; when I woke up, they were already there.
-Thank you for the information,- said the chief elf and hurried away with his partner…

…The elves noticed two young men standing near a sloth stall. They were arguing over whose pepper was bigger. These were Arandor and Morning…

-My pepper is bigger! It's visible to the naked ear!
-Sorry, but I have bananas in my ears, I can't see, can I touch it?
-Hahaha LOL, NOOB! Still haven't taken the bananas out x)

…After these words, Morning hit Arandor on the head with a pepper and he fell. A pepper brawl broke out. The elves decided not to interfere, because who knows, you might get hit on the head with a pepper…

"Purr-meow, purr-meow," came from the chief elf's pocket.
-I'm listening.
-Sir, come quickly to Mr. Xostor's house!
-Already on my way!
-But we have nothing to ride in!,- said his partner.
-True, we'll have to go on foot.

…Not far from Xostor's house, they discovered the body of Slonysh, sawed in half…
-Holy cucumbers!, - exclaimed the chief elf, - she didn't finish her ice cream!!!
-Chief, but she was killed.
-Silent.., - suddenly spoke one half of Slonysh.
-Aaaa!!!, - screamed the chief elf and jumped into his partner's arms.
-Monkeys, there were too many of them, and then he, Silent.., said Slonysh and died.
-Yikes, I'm going to be sick, - said the chief elf.
-You can't stand the sight of things sawed in half?
-No, the ice cream isn't tasty x(( vanilla… bleh x((
- Mda, -___-

…When the mermaids arrived and took Slonysh's remains, they noticed she was missing one kidney; strange, could she really have been killed for a kidney? If it's that necessary, you can just go to the store and buy one...

…Despite the terrible events that occurred in the city, in the evening all the townspeople went to a masquerade ball organized by an unknown person. Well of course, why not go, there will be freebies and handouts, and with those, you'll never be bored...

-Meow! Meow!, - several messages arrived on the chief elf's cat.
-Who can't sleep at night, grumbled the pointy-eared one…

"Found one link to a Turkic proverb as evidence. On one hand, it's kind of Berber, on the other — it seems connected. I'm writing this note in case of my death — just in case... But if I survive — all the better, at least the info will reach you. Firstly, the reason for this line of thought. If you type simply 'wolf and bear' into Google and other search engines, it's damn hard to find this Turkic proverb. This means the essence is not in that. Secondly, if we reason about proverbs, why specifically a Turkic one? It's kind of exotic. I'm not certain here, but I think the link is either to the meaning of the proverb or to its Turkic origin. Perhaps it's exactly the meaning, but I found an interesting link to the second — the origin (the main thing that confuses me is why a proverb should be the hint at something Turkic?). The nickname 'GamaUn' can be read as 'Gamayun', and then on Wiki we get info:
'Gamayun — in Russian mythology, a prophetic bird that sings divine songs to people and foretells the future to those who know how to hear the secret. Gamayun knows everything in the world. When Gamayun flies from the east, a deadly storm comes.'
And then, the key point:
'The image originally came from Eastern (Persian) mythology. It was depicted with a woman's head and breast. In the mythology of ancient Iranians, there is an analogue — the bird of joy Humayun[1] (cf. Turkic borrowing Umay).'
If you follow the link from footnote 1, you land on the page of the analogue — Humayun:
'The Huma (Persian: هما, pronounced Homā), also Homa, is a legendary bird especially of the Persian branch of Iranian mythology and Sufi fable. It is said to never come to rest, living its entire life flying invisibly high above the earth, and never alighting on the ground (in some legends it is said to have no legs).'
And the point that interests us:
'In Turkic mythology, it is referred as bird of Kumay or Umay which was used as a symbol of Çepni, one of the 24 tribal organizations of Oghuz Turks. Umay is the goddess of fertility and virginity in Turkic mythology and Tengriism.'
One could have stopped at the '(cf. Turkic borrowing Umay)' part, of course, but I dug a bit deeper out of curiosity.
Judge for yourself. It's quite possible it's a Berber, but I don't have full certainty. City, do not lose sight of the Puppeteer, be careful. Good luck to you. Gil."

"Wanted to steal ND from Xostor, but it didn't work. Consequently, he is either Charlie without ND or the puppeteer whose ND cannot be stolen.
For all your future knowledge, everyone I steal ND from will get hit on the head by their own actions. So, I advise villains to be more careful.
Mr. Death, come over for tea, I have cookies and a huge desire to play chess!"

"My dear masker, my little puppet, don't be so stubborn — the masquerade is not an option for you. Accept that I am your master and your brain. It would be better if we worked together.
Kostyan, I think we understand each other.
Puppeteer"

"Slonysh and Kostyan have the same statuses. At Arandor's request, today I am comparing his status and Morning's
drawn person."

"Flandre — was a unicorn, and the vile mafiosi killed him! We will avenge you, scoundrels!
Blue Unicorn and Charlie.
PS You are forever in our hearts, friend."

…When the mermaids arrived and took Slonysh’s remains, they noticed that she was missing one kidney. It’s strange; could she have been killed for her kidney? If they really needed one, they could just go to the store and buy it…

I just watched an episode of this cartoon where Charlie had his kidney removed. There’s no doubt – Slonysh was Charlie.

Kayla was blocked and robbed.
Gil had a musician. (Based on the two non-disclosure agreements for the musician, we can create a list of people who could have been him.)
Hostor was blocked by unicorns, which is why Slonysh’s corpse was with him (i.e., the Slonysh-Charlie theory is correct). Also, there are no clues in the newspaper, so we can listen to the note from the Hatter.
Morni and I were compared; thanks to the drawing for that.
Unfortunately, I don’t know who killed Slonysh from the Mafia, but she was also blocked; apparently, she seemed like a dangerous role to them. Lol.

And Mask organized a carnival, which means he didn’t kill anyone.

And yes, if Kostyan has the same status as Slonysh (hers is “outsider”), then he’s either dead or a member of the Mafia/Man. He’ll have to be executed later, but for now, I think it’s better to look for a member of the Mafia or execute Hostor, the puppet master.

Also, a gramophone visited Hostor

The note is also written in a style that is very characteristic of Hostor.

ah, I'm an idiot. The illusionist killed Slonysh. I didn't pay attention to the sawing trick.)

-Monkeys, there were too many of them, and then he, Silent..., said Slonysh and died.

I think this is a clue.

Sky, well done, that's a good newspaper!

I agree with Arandor regarding the schedule of the NDS players and the role of Slonysh. But I disagree with the note that Ar believed so readily.

“I wanted to steal an NDS from Hostor, but it didn't work out. Therefore, he is either Charlie without an NDS, or a puppet master whose NDS cannot be stolen.
For the future, everyone whose NDS I steal will get it back with their own actions. So, I advise villains to be careful.
Mr. Death, come over for tea, I have cookies and a great desire to play chess!”

Too obvious, Thorium. I know about the green tea, the chess with the devil, and your Mr. Death fan club... So, the last phrase is either unnecessary, or the note itself is a troll. Don't try to set me up...
Oh yes, a real thief would have provided proof of his words with a link to today's theft of Kyle.

Hossi, then why didn't we see the Neutral Detective yesterday, and why wasn't there a move from the Puppeteer today?)
and why should the Mad Hatter write that he's going to Kyle?

Nebo, if the Puppeteer controls the Mafia, does that mean the Mafia will have two kills? One is carried out by the Mafia themselves, and the other by the Puppeteer?

…Despite the terrible events that took place in the city, in the evening all the townspeople went to a masquerade ball organized by an unknown person. Well, why not go, there will be free food and drinks, and you won't get bored with them...

“My dear masked man, my little puppet, don't be so stubborn – the masquerade is not the way for you. Accept the fact that I am your master and your brain. It would be better for us to work together.
Kostyan, I think we understand each other.
Puppeteer”

The note directly states that the Puppeteer made a puppet out of a man in a mask because he knew that the second maniac was using the masquerade.
By the way, the style of the note is very similar to Hostor's.

If the puppeteer, for example, has controlled the Circus Director, but sent the Tamer on the mission, then the puppeteer will be unable to do anything.

If Kostyan is the man in the mask, and Khostor is the puppet master, then it's best to execute Kostyan first, and Khostor the next day.

If the second note is also true, then the "masochist" and the "puppeteer" shouldn't be executed yet. It's better to ask them to help their city. The "masochist" is killing himself, and the "puppeteer" might eliminate the "monkey." Besides, the Mafia might spend their action points on killing the maniacs.
I would pay closer attention to:

3. Registr
4. Gur
6. Gil4
11. WhiteLizard
12. Zedzi
15. Leang
14. Hermit
16. Thorium
18. GamaUn
19. Vegtam

If Kostyan is the man in the mask, and Khostor is the puppet master, then it's better to execute Kostyan first, and Khostor the next day.

He wrote the name of the recruited player directly like that.

But why would the puppeteer reveal their puppet so early? Wouldn't it be more logical to first try to use it to eliminate the Mafia members?

I really don't want to delve into these complex nuances of ND, so as not to strain my brain. But "Silent" is associated with "hermit" – i.e., a Hermit...

He is actually interested in killing her because it is a condition for his victory, but he probably wouldn't do it so soon. Moreover, if Slonysh is Charlie, then she has the status of "outsider," and it turns out that Kostyan chose the status of "outsider" for himself in the first night, since they have the same status. If you were in the place of the person in the mask, would you choose that status for yourself? Something tells me that Kostya is just being set up...
