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

I just wasn't paying attention to that detail, but now I've noticed it and don't want to make any mistakes. As for the mod kill, I wasn't really thinking about it, which is why I removed the voiceover. And what if Kostya manages to respond in time?

The main elf was against the execution of KostyaN. After all, there was no evidence against him. But he couldn't do anything; the majority had decided...
The executioner slowly led the defendant to the edge of the platform, under which stood a huge cauldron of boiling pitch. When the executioner pushed KostyaN down, a strong wind blew, and KostyaN's body crumbled like sand, not even reaching the cauldron. And the chessboard remained lying on the cold ground...

Horseradish in Jelly

…The city was awakened by music coming from Registr's house; apparently, he has now decided to annoy all the neighbors with his terrible playing…

…And Morning just couldn't calm down, what a rascal. He probably wants to compare his pepper with every resident of the city; this time, the morning music lover — Registr — was the target…

…The Chief Elf, sitting in his office, nervously ate pickled cucumbers with milk and snacked on fresh shoelaces. He didn't know what to do. The situation in the city was starting to get out of control. There was a knock at the door…
-Who is it?, asked the elf.
-It's me.
-Who is "me"?
-Your death!
-I didn't call you, go jump into a black hole!

…After these words, the door opened and a monkey in a hat and tails entered the office…

-Hello elfy, how's life?
-Why are you here?
-Are you Jewish?
-Why do you ask?
-And why do you answer a question with a question?
-Are you an antisemite?
-Why does that bother you?
-Shut up already, you miserable monkey, and answer my question: what do you want here?
-I'm selling jelly, would you like to buy some?
-I know your gang is behind all the jelly murders, and I will do everything possible so that you and your buddies never return to our city again!
-Hahaha, don't make me laugh; alone you can do nothing, and the boy on the throne and the General in a binge won't help you, as for the townspeople, they are afraid to take any action. So soon your pitiful city will turn into a circus, and all its residents into my slaves…

…A few hours after the conversation, the Chief Elf's cat meowed…

-Chief, another corpse.

…The elf headed to NeyraDrake's house. When he arrived, the mistress of the house was very emotionally telling something to his partner…

-What happened here? - asked the elf.
-Jelly again, boss; this time it was forcibly pumped straight into the victim.Ta Kotoraya... died a terrible death; even a lucky pepper necklace didn't help her.
-Wait, didn't the mafia players kill her on the very first night? You remember, there was also a mole and a starfish delivering bricks h)))
- -_____-
-Alright, speak, I'm listening h)
-We have a witness. Miss NeyraDrake saw Ta Kotoraya's… killers.
-The only thing I managed to see were their backs as they were running away >__<
-And that's all?, asked the Chief.
-No, one of them said something. Something like: "Southern direction," or something like that; unfortunately, that's all I heard.
-Pity, very little information. And how did you find the body?
-I was showering, and then I noticed some pervert spying on me through the window!
- Who even puts windows in a shower?
-I don't know, Mr. Arandor built the house.
-Well-well, continue; who was looking through the window?
-I don't even know if he can be called a human, a strange guy. But I didn't panic, grabbed the biggest cucumber and ran to catch that scoundrel, and when I ran into the backyard, I saw the corpse.
-Arandor, you say; we'll stop by his place.

…When the elves arrived at Arandor's house, a platoon of frankfurters was guarding his door. And when the elves tried to enter, a huge frankfurter blocked their way...

-Let us through, we are representatives of the law!, said the Chief Elf.
-Not permitted. The General's order is to let no one in and no one out.
-Strange, this morning I saw them heading toward Deriel's house; why on earth would they be here..
-Comrade elf!, shouted Hermit, crossing the road wearing only zucchinis on his bare feet, - all my cookies were stolen! Only yesterday I harvested them, and this morning they are gone!
-You should put some clothes on sir, because the llamas are watching; it's a bit awkward. As for the cookie business, we'll handle it as soon as we close the jelly case, - said the chief and headed back to his office with his partner…

-Did you hear, Chief? An accident happened to Mr. Gur ; a jar of cucumbers fell on his head.
-It's for the best; he shouldn't have stuck his red nose into our city, the cucumbers punished him.

…Meanwhile, several messages arrived at the auto-cat in the Chief's office…

«If I am killed, look closely at those who voted. Reg, Gil, Gamayun and Lizard, who didn't remove his vote even though I asked[br][/br]Drawing: compare players with the one whose status you know. If they differ, execute the "newcomer," for there are no strangers in the city anymore. (this is in case of my death obviously; if comparing with me, then execute those who are same)

«Diary of Emil Berliner, August 2, 1929.
Hello, dear Bovblobyans. Learning about the appearance of this cursed Chapiteau in the vicinity of our town, I could not sit idly by. I tried to find potential criminals, but in the end, I chose the wrong objects for surveillance. Perhaps tonight I will not make such a mistake on my part. In case of my death, this page of my diary will fall into the hands of peaceful citizens, and I hope the information will be used correctly. However, knowing our residents, this page might reach you regardless of my death...
Actually, that's why I'm writing this. Have you thought about what the Mad Hatter did on the third night? Did he use TaKo's own ND on her, as promised? Yes, I agree. But which one exactly? Vegetable Treatment? Yes, at first reading I thought so too, but then I remembered the suggestion of the respected Xostor. Kyle was treated on the second night, just not like before — not with horseradish, but with "Japanese horseradish," wasabi. Coincidence? Did Heaven's fantasy play a cruel joke? Was wasabi used simply as another madness in this world? I was inclined to think not. And only then, thinking through the consequences of these thoughts, did I realize that TaKo is mafia. If you think about the reasons why TaKo's ND was not used on her, you will understand why I believe so. Moreover, there is a second way to prove this assumption. And this time it is not necessary to choose between "wasabi - coincidence" and "wasabi - design." Approaching from a completely different side, we can understand who the Hatter was, why he didn't do what he wanted, and what roles are possible for TaKo. I'll put it this way: when the Hatter uses a stolen ND, the priority of his move is the same as that of the ND itself. i.e., if the Hatter steals "Hide and Seek" from the Jester, he will go first. And if the Hatter steals "Horseradish Tincture" from the vegetable, he will use it last. If you already understand where I'm going, you've earned a cookie (in my house in the kitchen to the left of the window there is a whole cage of cookies). If you don't understand, look closely at the order of NDs and think about what someone among the players was unable to do on the third night. You will understand what I mean. So, let's return to TaKo. She cannot be an illusionist (Kyle was blocked on the second night, while the illusionist killed). Next, acrobats. Theoretically, the mafia could have figured out the Hatter and eliminated him as a problem, so even if Kyle is one of the acrobats, they could still send acrobats on the job calculating for elimination. But I have no certainty in this — I don't think they had info that allowed them to figure out the Hatter so easily. Accordingly, they couldn't risk it, meaning they wouldn't send a robbed Acrobat on the job. Consequently, the circle of possible roles for TaKo narrows down to: Circus Director, Gloomy Clown, Tamer.
I am not describing everything directly so as not to reveal peaceful roles, in case the mafia are being stupid and don't understand what I'm talking about. Of course, you may not believe me, but we have already almost lost anyway. If I am wrong, which is unlikely, we will still lose. But if I am right, there is a chance. Therefore, it is pointless not to believe what I have said. Perhaps the events of the night will make TaKo's role more obvious. Pay attention to posts, monitor behavior. And cover the Jester. On the third day, everyone together framed the Jester with the voting results — Ar shifted his vote, Neyra and Hermit followed him, which allowed for further narrowing the circle of possible Jesters. The most interesting thing is that when Gil suggested executing Gamayun a few hours earlier, the answer was "we won't have time to gather votes anyway." And then, apparently, you found the time? Stupid. If you are mafia — well done, played it like music. If townies — "well done," a wonderful frame-up. Mon, special "thanks" to you if you are peaceful (if mafia — played it well, again).
Keep in mind what I told you about TaKo. Do not trust Ar — even if he didn't lie about the status, which we will find out after tonight, it doesn't mean he is necessarily a unicorn. And he plays, frankly speaking, strangely — more likely a mafia player paired with Neyra. Conduct a proper analysis when you learn Gur's role; stop being stupid already. Be careful with Gamayun — this looks like a play from the previous game. TaKo says she will vote for Gamayun if someone else is for her execution, and then doesn't appear at all, not even to see the execution results. Remind you of anything? Ar's execution in the last game, when she also just vanished. And Gamayun briskly voted for Kostyan, while not particularly reacting to accusations from TaKo and Ar. Think through different mafia combinations, correlate them with player interactions in the thread, review posts. No more mistakes are allowed. Good luck to you, town.
Yours, Emil Gilbert Berliner.»

What a surprise! =[br][/br]
Gil, lol, TaKo - mafia, and where is she now? Killed by her own team? Hmm...
As for me, yes, I didn't think about the possibility of framing the Jester, but it was more important for me not to execute Kostyan. It turned out to be in vain; he would have been killed anyway.

In general, I started to suspect that TaKo was the Jester. If we believe the version about the wasabi-horseradish on the day of TaKo's block, then she is not the Doctor, but a peaceful player without a night ability. However, the newspaper says about a necklace of peppers, so the wasabi might be a mistake by the GM, who is confusing the town with his poorly written night ability descriptions.

As for Gur's role, I really hope he was the Jester... but unfortunately, Ovosch also has a red nose, so I don't know. We either lost the Jester and the Doctor, or the Doctor/Jester and the Mafia.

Although, considering that TaKo was near Neyra's house, she probably had a night ability. Therefore, the Doctor and the Jester died?

Yeah, I made a mistake, and that's great. :) I hope you'll figure out why yourself. :)

TaKo is definitely the doctor, 100%. The name is "Dick in jelly," after all. And Gur is a clown. Congratulations to the Mafia.

So, there are 12 people left (5 of them are Mafia, if Gur is a clown). Nebo, when will you learn to make proper lists? Remove Kostyan from the list of living players. Yes, now if we eliminate the Illusionist, it will be great. However, there's not much evidence against him... it's better to look for Acrobats. It's essential to solve the clues because there might not be another chance.

Yes. Either Illusionist, so that the General can defend properly, or Acrobat.

By the way, Gill, my vote cancellation still didn't change anything, because I didn't vote for NNV on the first day, just like Neira. So, your accusations were irrelevant. Here.

Maybe, but it was already too late to recount the votes anyway. I don't want to check, but since you didn't mention Hermit, and you did mention Nereus, it means his vote had an influence. And he just followed your lead. Well, never mind, it's not that important now.
And damn, gramophones can't be perverts...

Sky, when will you learn to make lists properly? Remove Kostyan from the list of living players.

Here we go again.

who is interfering with the city dwellers with his crooked description of the Necropolis.

And I warned you.

I'm warning you in advance, the world in which the events will take place is not entirely adequate.

Have you talked to them, looked into their souls?!

And I did warn you.

Fixing!

Excellent work, Mr. Berliner, it's a pity that not all calculations turned out to be one hundred percent correct. However, the events of tonight really pointed to the role of TaCo.

I regret trusting Wasabi and Torii after playing Heroes of Might and Magic III. Next time, I'll know what is meant by the imbalance of the game. :D

Now we are sure that Reven was just a mask. But what does the cloak mean? Perhaps the GM decided to show off his literary skills and beautifully concluded the story of the Man in the Mask with a mystification. The real mask influenced Reven's mind, committed crimes with his hands, and framed him, leading to the circus performers seeking revenge. When they arrived to carry out their vengeance, he laughed merrily and left the city forever, deceiving the entire population. Or maybe it was a demon or an evil spirit. A romantic theory!

Downtown is a term primarily used in North America to refer to a city's core (or center) or central business district, usually in a geographical, commercial, and community sense. In most other English-speaking countries, the terms 'town centre' and 'city centre' are used.

The term is thought to have been coined in New York City, where it was in use by the 1830s to refer to the original town at the southern tip of the island of Manhattan. As the town of New York grew into a city, the only direction it could grow on the island was toward the north, proceeding upriver from the original settlement (the "up" and "down" terminology in turn came from the customary map design in which up was north and down was south). Thus, anything north of the original town became known as "uptown" (Upper Manhattan), while the original town (which was also New York's only major center of business at the time) became known as "downtown" (Lower Manhattan).

Well, are we finally going to execute the prophetic bird?

The Mafia aren't very original – every night they send the acrobats on missions, even though they have a rich selection of killer roles. Maybe they just can't agree properly?
Taco killed again... Who will heal us now with that thing, what was it called? A dick?
Although, if you believe the huge note, Taco is 100% Mafia. (this is sarcasm)

From the same source:

And Gamayun quickly voted for Kostyan, while barely reacting to accusations from Taco and Ara.

These accusations seemed not very well-founded and based not on any specific things (like evidence), but on personal biased relationships. Why should one "react strongly" to such things? In general, I've long noticed that people who are unable to think about evidence start pretending that they are playing psychological Mafia. "I don't like you!" – that's their main argument. Well, what should you answer to that?.. And most importantly, why?..
