1) I have not memorized all the roles and can't tell which one is useless late in the game. The one tainted suggested was based on that same sentence. He can be wrong, but if not it can be proved.

2.) :'D right. ...when the page roload and what i typed goes poof haha, that's the worst as of now.

I think Anetheia hinted towards Charon or Tengu in a post but might be just me.

@yurkin Tikolshe is protection of self,, Poirot can discover the faction of a player.

Charon would help as it can allow someone to keep posting post death.

The Tengu denies death to the lynched player. I think this is the most likely candidate as saving a player now would most likely allow the mafia to win.

For every freaking lynch in this game since Day 2, I've been hinting my role by relating it to a mythlogy/story that has something to do with my role.

I don't want to say it. I want YOU people to try and guess it!

Hi👋🏻 I'm on my phone so I can't really back up much but I'm going to [b] Vote: @Dayori [/] in case I can't get back on.
I've felt suspicious of them for a while.

I may be on later depending on my internet, but def not tomorrow.
Hope voting goes well and we can catch out some mafia!
Anetheia said:
Hey all,
Thought I'd mention this somewhere. Sorry but I'm pretty sure I'll have to leave the game (hopefully someone can fill my position), I'm going on retreat for 3 days and I thought I'd have internet access but turns out I probably wont.
As well as this, school hugely clashes with the timezone of this game and it's hard to keep track of everything I miss in the busiest part of the day.
Sorry to leave early, the game was getting pretty interesting too!
Good luck to the town! I'll still follow the game when I can :)
Anetheia said:
Since there is no one to replace me, I will continue to try to play.
If anyone still wanted to try the even vote, or anything I'm up to be a part of that.
Otherwise, I'll try to be on some more tonight and will probably end up voting in about 6hrs because I may not be able to get on tomorrow.
Sorry for any drama!

More like a tie, but I don't have as important ability as his would be at this point. I guess you could say my beautiful ribbon could give me a step ahead if something goes wrong with a lynch.

That sounds like a pretty good idea actually. That way:
If she's lying, we get rid of the mafia
If she's telling the truth not only we get another confirmed town member like Smaug, we also effectively don't lynch someone and we put a good use to Anetheia's ability.

It's PoE between karote/scarlet/anetheia
Well i'd say scarlet acted like a scum this whole game, but whatever.

Idk why phraze townread someone because they townread her for the tie. Every sane person would do the same, because no scum bus they universaly-townread-by-all buddy.

The interactions between karote/abu were fishy. Tentative implied townread while voting for abu in the same time. Abu mentioning "scum playing it safe" about karote, but did absolutely nothing to push in that dirention.

If i wasn't sure there is only 1 scum remining i'd say both scarlet/karote are scum.

There is a small dif between ghoul and dullahan, the 1st is 1-shot the 2nd 2-shot. To prove which is the real one scarlet need to shoot one more player, and to be double kill same as N3. No mafia will skip a kill just to frame someone so late into the game, so that version is excluded.
Oh wait, yes im saying you are scum. No sane vig would have shoot phraze after the tie situation.

I don't know what role century is crumbling but softing late in the game is fishy and should be forced to a hard claim.

As of now century counts toward town while i'm not sure that is deserved.
All claimed or crumbled town role.
5 of of the 20 roles were not used. 2 from the scum roles, and 3 from the town roles which leaves enough roles for the whole scum team to claim.

The dif is some are provable others are not.

Bill whistled as he strolled through the park. He was on his way to meet his girlfriend, Sally. He could smell spring in the air. He jingled the engagement ring in his pocket and thought about asking Sally to marry him.

Sally sat down on a park bench and Bill kneeled down in front of her.

“Sally,” Bill said, “you are the most beautiful girl I’ve ever met. I love you and I want you to be my wife. Will you marry me?”

Sally laughed and said, “Yes! I will marry you.”

As Bill gazed lovingly at his bride-to-be, his eyes lingered on the red velvet ribbon Sally always wore around her neck.

“Why do you always wear that red ribbon?” Bill asked.

Sally said, “Bill, I must never take off my red ribbon!”

Bill smiled at Sally and left the ribbon alone.

Bill and Sally were married that June. Bill found a lovely little house in a nice neighborhood and they moved in.

Bill bought Sally many party dresses. But Sally always wore her red ribbon with each outfit. Bill thought this was odd.

Sally just smiled and said, “I must never take off my red ribbon.”

After a few years, Sally found out she was going to have a baby. This news delighted Bill.

Sally talked with her friends who had babies. Bill talked with his buddies who had children.

They talked together late into the night about what they had learned from everyone.

When the big day came, Sally said, “Please tell the doctor I must not take off my red ribbon!”

Bill was frustrated. But he promised Sally that he would tell the doctor.

After the baby was born, Bill gave Sally flowers.

“Thank you for the flowers, Bill,” Sally said. “And thank you for telling the doctor I must not take off my red ribbon.”

Bill did not understand why the red ribbon was so important.

“Do you want to hold little Billy?” Sally asked.

Bill, Sally, and little Billy lived happily for many years in the small, lovely house in the nice neighborhood.

When little Billy was a baby, he would sometimes reach for the red ribbon around his mother’s neck. Sally would gently take his little hands in hers and coo at him, saying, “Mommy must never ever take off her red ribbon!”

The red ribbon had frustrated Bill for a long time. He loved Sally with all of his heart, but did not understand her need to wear the red ribbon.

After many years, Bill had an idea. “Our anniversary is coming up. I will buy Sally a beautiful necklace. She will take off that old red ribbon so she can wear the beautiful necklace!”

Their anniversary came. Bill took Sally to a fancy restaurant overlooking Central Park. They had a delicious meal.

Then Bill gave Sally a velvet box with a beautiful diamond necklace in it. She opened it, smiled, and tears came to her eyes. Bill put the necklace around her neck and started to take off the red ribbon.

Sally stopped him. She said, “I must never take off my red ribbon!” Bill sat back in his seat with a huff. He looked at Sally and shook his head.

“I may never understand,” Bill said.

Sally gently placed the diamond necklace back in the velvet box and closed the lid. “It is lovely, Bill. I will treasure it always,” she said. “But I must never take off my red ribbon.”

“Why?” Bill asked, as he had for so many years.

Sally smiled sadly and shook her head. She did not answer him.

Late that night Bill was still awake. “I’ve loved Sally for more than twenty years. But she insists on wearing that horrible red ribbon around her neck. I think it’s about time I found out why.”

Bill got out of bed and walked around to Sally’s side. Bill carefully pinched the ends of the bow on the ribbon. He began to slowly pull on the ribbon.

The bow became smaller and smaller. The loops of the bow pulled through and only a half-knot was left.



Bill slid his finger under the half-knot and tugged.

ZIP! The red ribbon gave way.

POP! Sally’s head came off. It rolled right to the floor, bouncing in the moonlight!

One large tear fell from Sally’s eye.

“I warned you!” she said.

Sorry I haven't had the time to reply or check through much, I didn't realise there was an ability similar to mine.
I wasn't sure how much we could say we were a specific roll so I didn't say mine. If you kill me of I will actually die, but I'll try to come back to haunt everyone
For now I'll vote: scarlett and use my ability so if someone dies today and they can still keep posting (even if it's me) I can prove my role.
I'm was hoping that earlier in the game I didn't bring back a mafia member
Oh well then

When little Billy was a baby, he would sometimes reach for the red ribbon around his mother’s neck. Sally would gently take his little hands in hers and coo at him, saying, “Mommy must never ever take off her red ribbon!”

The red ribbon had frustrated Bill for a long time. He loved Sally with all of his heart, but did not understand her need to wear the red ribbon.

After many years, Bill had an idea. “Our anniversary is coming up. I will buy Sally a beautiful necklace. She will take off that old red ribbon so she can wear the beautiful necklace!”

Their anniversary came. Bill took Sally to a fancy restaurant overlooking Central Park. They had a delicious meal.

Then Bill gave Sally a velvet box with a beautiful diamond necklace in it. She opened it, smiled, and tears came to her eyes. Bill put the necklace around her neck and started to take off the red ribbon.

Sally stopped him. She said, “I must never take off my red ribbon!” Bill sat back in his seat with a huff. He looked at Sally and shook his head.

“I may never understand,” Bill said.

Sally gently placed the diamond necklace back in the velvet box and closed the lid. “It is lovely, Bill. I will treasure it always,” she said. “But I must never take off my red ribbon.”

“Why?” Bill asked, as he had for so many years.

Sally smiled sadly and shook her head. She did not answer him.

Late that night Bill was still awake. “I’ve loved Sally for more than twenty years. But she insists on wearing that horrible red ribbon around her neck. I think it’s about time I found out why.”

Bill got out of bed and walked around to Sally’s side. Bill carefully pinched the ends of the bow on the ribbon. He began to slowly pull on the ribbon.

The bow became smaller and smaller. The loops of the bow pulled through and only a half-knot was left.



Bill slid his finger under the half-knot and tugged.

ZIP! The red ribbon gave way.

POP! Sally’s head came off. It rolled right to the floor, bouncing in the moonlight!

One large tear fell from Sally’s eye.

“I warned you!” she said.


Pop!
I'm confused.


The important part is where it pops.
