EoFF XXVII Game Thread - Day Five - Showdown in the Velvet Room

I misunderstood what you were initially arguing, Junpei. Apologies.

I still stand by the fact that there was no reason to mistrust Minato's claim of being a vanilla townie. However, the circumstances of his claim are pretty interesting.

It may be extremely paranoid to suggest this, but in a scenario where Strega are extremely intelligent and good at predicting human behaviour we cannot discount the possibility that if Shinjiro is Strega that it was a double blind. Though most humans are not prone to thinking more than one or two moves ahead so attempting to peel back layers of intent and obfuscation beyond that are often more self-defeating than productive as extreme doubt is debilitating.

This is a textbook example of planting doubt. Your purpose is to make people feel that Shinjiro is suspicious, but you use vague and ambiguous language to ensure a clean get-out when he comes up Town. This is not the first time you have done this, and it is unsurprising that - for the third time now - you are aligned with Theodore.

Theo is arguably the more obvious Mafia, but you are certainly the most dangerous. I suspect you are the Roleblocker, though that is mere guesswork.

##vote: Aigis

Here's where things get interesting. I'm not sure if Minato was roleblocked or not (I can check his posts to see if he confirms this if necessary), but there are a few things we can theorize from this.

1. Let's assume he was roleblocked. He then guesses Aigis was the one who roleblocked him.

- Aigis was actually the one who roleblocked him and he guessed correctly. Because of this, the mafia suspected he was the Tracker and killed him.

2. Let's assume he was not roleblocked. He guesses Aigis is the Mafia Roleblocker.

- Aigis is actually the roleblocker and he was correct. Because he was right, the Mafia suspected he was the Tracker or Cop and killed him.

So far these are the only two scenarios I can come up with off the top of my head, but both would create motivation for the mafia to kill him.

If I am lynched in the night, know that you will not lose anything of value other than a man on your side.

Here is his claim of being a vanilla townie. I see no pressure on him, he was merely concerned that he was correct and would be lynched because of it.
