ok so possible scenarios re: why no one died last night

1. scum (zetsu or boogie) hit me, and i was being doctored. this strikes me as super unlikely considering irina Straight Up Said she was gonna doctor me, why waste a kill like that if you're actually intending to kill someone? there's an outside chance scum thinks irina was lying and was actually vanilla or smth, but that seems kinda. dumb, at this stage

2. scum (zetsu or irina) hit boogie, and he isn't being informed that he was hit. id file that under Mod Lying so i dismiss that possibility and also everyone knows boogie is bulletproof so again, waste of time for scum.

3. scum (boogie or zetsu or irina!!!) withheld the kill on purpose.

as you can probably tell from my tone here i think we're on scenario #3. reasons theoretically why each person left alive would want to do that:

irina: she's already heard our plan and knows that we plan to lynch her today. by not killing anyone overnight she can hopefully sow confusion for another phase. presumably having more available targets is helpful, considering both boogie and zetsu have been strong town players up until this moment; she presumably hopes she can swing one of them against the other.

zetsu: if she's scum at this point she literally can't kill anyone without screwing herself; boogie is bulletproof and i'm presumably safe via doctor if irina isn't lying, so her only possible target is irina, which sits her in f3 with two people she's basically cleared. not a great position to be in! so going no-kill was basically her only option.

boogie: the least likely, because he could have just killed zetsu and i probably would have gone right along with lynching irina in that case. i dont super see an upside on this for him. i might have been more suspect if he said he was hit, but he didnt.


i do still think irina is the most likely option, but i'd like to hear from her before swinging to act. it would be galaxy-brain play for zetsu to have set all of this up as scum, especially since she seemed perfectly willing to lynch herself last night, but maybe she was betting on us following the yugi train instead of swapping to her? again, galaxy-brain plays either way.

i was gonna type up that night action permutation but you beat me to it but it's fine you did a <good> job

anyways like just based off of play, i've been suspicious of irina for this entire game and, that hasnt changed. and like everything about zetsu points to her being town, but for some reason im just. nervous. like she's too town to be true, y'know? i don't actually believe that it just makes me hesitate lmao

honestly i feel it. it's like when i watch the genius and see the trust-based rock paper scissors games where the players had the strategy of "i am going to tell you what i'm throwing out, please let me live" because like with some very careful analytical play you could try and outsmart someone who didn't want to let you live, but it would feel SO much worse to lose because you didn't trust someone who was on your side the entire time vs. trusting the wrong person

Dead:

Irina - Ohm, Backup doctor.


And with that, there are only three players remaining. At night, the only potent person remaining, Ruggahissy, smothers Kermit, the Jester in his sleep while he was in the middle of dreaming of his next big 'art more like fart' joke. Thankfully, I'm sure I'll be able to talk my way out of this one, so even though I was secretly hoping you guys could defeat the staff menace, I'm sure we'll be able to clean this place up in the wake of this crisis.

Huh. Staff always wins, am I right?



The victors:

Dmboogie: Ruggahissy, the godfather.
Cactus: Deamon, the tough guy
Murderweasel: Emprexx Plush, goon
Decoy: Zarina, goon.



That's all, folks.
