No more madness, the Havelock Gambit has served its role.
Let's start with the poisoner data.
As I alluded in a lucid phase yesterday, I do not have access to mafiascum.net at work, so had only EoFF to rely on when I posted my hypothesis about Galuf not being able to make consecutive kills.
Given my lacklustre performance on Day 1, if my statement was not correct, the only logical reaction by anybody would be to dismiss it as another one of my half-baked hypothesis. This did not happen. Thus we can infer that my statement was correct.
If it is correct, the logical townie reaction remains the same. The mafia, however, would be compelled to wonder how I knew, so they could figure out if I was worth wasting their night kill on. Guess what, scumbags? I was.
Two people called me on being oddly specific: Setzer and Biggs. Strike one.
Strike two for Setzer: this and this -- As Biggs stated, almost like they copy/pasted the same post from a forum we can't read. Spy is typically a mafia-aligned role, so Refia's guilt speaks strongly to Setzer's.
Point in Biggs's favour: He's the one who noted the 'one down, ???' to go. That could be a red herring, but perhaps not.
For all that I want all three of the Day 1 Dirae to come up town, I trust Faris about as far as I can throw the moon, yet I will not allow Cid's failure to die to cast suspicion on her: I protected Cid in a night action, deciding to follow up on Faris's statement for lack of an alternative lead.
Of course, I could be lying about that, but let's examine the events of yesterday's vote: I cast a deciding vote against the Mafia Godfather with less than a minute left on the clock. Is that a townie move or a mafia one? Granted, I've already admitted I wasn't sure Blank was mafia. Now let's look at why:
Early on, I defended Serah's vote-hopping because it was "a townie move." But is it, really? With less than five minutes left on the clock? If there's a close race between a townie and a mafia, it behooves the mafia to try to cause a tie, knowing that the mod will kill the townie rather than rewarding the town for failure to act. In the closing minutes, Biggs shifted the vote onto Yuffie to break that tie. Once I stated that I was not changing my vote, Biggs created a tie again; since I think that Biggs might be scum, I changed my mind right then and there. I was going for unpredictability with a system whereby even I could not predict what I'd do ahead of time, but abandoned it in order to scotch Biggs. Averted: Biggs did not even try to save Blank. Perhaps he was concerned his vote would come in seconds too late and he'd get suspicion without saving Blank, or perhaps he's town. I don't know.
Regarding my antic dis:bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou: I kind of shot myself in the head there. I had conceived of the Havelock Gambit on Day 2 -- At the time I posted Iago's line from Othello, I already had my initial Day 4 post saved in evernote. During Night 3, I smurfed up and telegraphed my intent to "Ham it up like Shatner" in Fomalhaut's blog -- even if Fomal's not scum, scum can read his blog and if I failed to follow through on it, they'd wonder why. Events on day 2, however, rendered it inoperable and I had no real choice but to pick up my massive set of balls and brazen it on through.
Finally, here's my roleclaim: I am the [color=##FFFF00]Apothecary[/color]. The Havelock Gambit was conceived in despair of my ass-useless role ever having any value. Galuf's death and Faris's clue is what rendered the Havelock Gambit inoperable. The statement about the poisoner signalling the existence of the apothecary was a red herring -- the reverse may be true, but the poisoner could be blocked by another role. As such, I am now superfluous and may sacrificed at will. Either that or I'm roleclaiming to protect myself from the mafia, who won't want to waste a night kill, when the truth is that I have an investigative role that allowed me to discern the nature of the Poisoner's role. Which is it, scumbags? You'll have to kill me to find out.
Why was I so certain that I would die yesterday? Either I have a role that is neither of my previous claims that made me certain that I would die and which was in turn blocked, or I was claiming foreknowledge to scare the mafia into trying to kill me. Which, it seems, didn't work even though I also cast an 11th hour vote to kill the godfather.
My night actions:
Night 1: Protected Cid -- not because I thought he was the cop, but because I thought he was an experienced player and I had nothing better to go on
Nights 2 & 3: Protected Noctis -- because everyone has such a steaming hard-on to kill Psy all the time that if he was town I definitely wanted him alive and the mafia was gunning for him, but if he was mafia, you guys always try to lynch him anyways and the mistake could be undone
Night 4: Protected Cid on Faris's say-so. If you're mafia, Faris, well played.
tl;dr.
Only joking! I'll read it now, but expect me to be dumbfounded.
I investigated her night 1, turned up guilty. So did Wedge night 2 and Faris night 3. I investigated Notcis this past night to determine if I'm paranoid I didn't get anything back unfortunately. So I'm rather useless, folks! Sorry.Quote:

I have no reason to doubt your role, which makes this a whole lot easier. Which would confirm Faris as well.
As for me, go ahead and lynch me. At least I could use my role at that point and take out a possible scum voter. I don't have any fight left in me anyway. I spent last night typing up 10-12 really good posts to get Noctis lynched and now he's gone. GONE!
By nothing I assume not even an innocent verdict? Interesting. Maybe your first three results are true and someone roleblocked your attempt at Noctis? I don't know really. It's mindsmurf mafia, don't give up!Quote:

And just for the record you are officially claiming Cop?
Your not a vengeful townie are you? If that's the case, we could use you as a sacrificial lamb and try to get the mafia with it. We need to be sure were taking out the mafia though, last thing town needs is for a townie to lash out at another townie!Quote:

I was being subtle earlier. Either they're all innocent and I'm insane or I'm paranoid and you're all guilty to me! :freak:Quote:
