EoFF Mafia XXVIII Game Thread - Banquet of the Voyager Witches

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Remember, we can't win if the Cynic lives. Pumpkin's truth indicates as much.

[FFNut]

Very true. Though I still can't get over the pained. They are just as dangerous as the witches if the trigger pops out. They will also flip town giving us no clue if we are lynching an enemy or a friend.

Okay, here is a list of all Purple Statements, with a link to their original reveal, in the order that they were revealed. I will do my best to update this post and link back to it throughout the game.

If you want to find it, utilise the thread search function and type in: ##PS

You should be able to find it due to the unique coding.

Three players are capable of screwing with the narrative writeups.

Purple Statement

One of the Human Aligned players is actually "Cynical Human Aligned", also known as the "Cynic". They have the goal of a Witch Aligned player and are treated as a Witch Aligned player for everyone else's goals.

Purple Statement

When a player dies, they covertly appoint a "Family Alchemist" (taking the title from the previous Alchemist if one exists). The Family Alchemist resolves ties during daytime voting.

One Human Player is the Village Idiot. This player will receive a night move but it will always backfire on them.

Purple Statement

If a Pained's identity or ability is revealed, their goal changes to wanting to survive alone and kill everyone else.

The Cynic can send a private message to a Witch Aligned player every day at Halftime.

The Summoner of Leviathan
Purple Statement

The Witch does not know who the Cynic is. The Cynic knows who the Witch is. The Cynic can also lie with the purple.

[Pumpkin]

Other than Quin and Scruffington, has everyone else revealed a purple statement?

[FFNut]

We all have yes.

[Formalhaut]

Yes. Scruff and Quin are yet to reveal.

Also, I know it has already been said, but three statements on one mechanic (the cynic) seems pretty suspicious to me.

[Fynn]

I agree, but then again, when you think about it, it's a pretty loaded role

[Pumpkin]

Really the biggest one for me right now is the statement saying the witch (singular) when Karifean went out of his way to indicate that if more than one tries to kill, it will be cancelled out. So either the cynic CAN kill, or there is more than one witch

[Pumpkin]

Or maybe Karifean is just loling at me but he seems to take more care than that. Could be wrong though

[FFNut]

I think it goes with the pained role too Pumkin, as they basically become a serial killer by the sounds of it.

[Formalhaut]

In principle there's nothing wrong with 3 statements on one mechanic, but I can't help but feel it was awfully conveinient for people to suddenly go "oh, hey, I've just the statement to inform us more about the cynic/letter!"

Then again, it isn't really a stick to beat people with because it would look slightly conveinient regardless, so.

I'm curious about the phrasing of TSoL's statement. it sounds very informal. "the cynic can also lie with the purple."

I was expecting it to end with statement. That it is cut off is peculiar, to say the least.

[Fynn]

That is a good point. I could argue that this is just stating an obvious rule of mafia, but then again, so many obvious rules have not been stated and revealed through the statements to be important, so you might actually be on to something.

Even though the cynic works for mafia, there's still a big possibility that there are more witches. At which point the Witches would benefit from us thinking there's only one, giving us a false sense of security. Therefore...

##vote: The Summoner of Leviathan

[FFNut]

I'm not really unsure of his statement. I find Carny's a little more suspicious, plus the bold way he plays. I think the cynical role is a massive twist as to why Karifean gave the secrets for reveal.

[Pumpkin]

What is it about Carny's that you find suspicious?

[FFNut]

Everyone else has theirs very specific. His looked like it was paraphrased or made up on the spot. Just the feeling I get reading it.
