FD has been killed. He was Meleoron, TOWN Chameleon (Super Hider).

Zyxyz0 has also been killed. She was Jinjo, TOWN Unexpected.

Scarechan has also been killed. He was Purple Minjo, INDEPENDENT Jinjo Hunter

With 16 alive it takes 9 to lynch. The day will end at 11pm EST on Saturday, June 30th...

...I may humor requests to shorten it again. May.
---

Colzach shot Scarechan, fyi.
---

So wait. Was scum's kill blocked?
---

Triple kill, wow. So this lends a lot of credence to a lot of claims yesterday. I must wonder how many Jinjos there are.

Colzach shot Scarechan, fyi.

How do you know this for sure? Is it because you killed FD?

Nice try, but that's not a recovery. In fact, that makes me even more suspicious of you.

Why would there be FOUR kills at night? Scare ate Zyzyz, that much is obvious. If what you say is true, Scum killed FD. ColZach vigilante'd Scare.

What else could be at work here?

Can you use your head for a second. FD was a hider. He can't be killed directly. He hid behind Scare or zyxyz0 to be killed with them. Which means... if Colzach killed Scare... and Scare killed Zy.... then scum didn't kill anyone... or Colzach is scum.
---

FD could have also hid behind scum and died.

Is that how the role works? But, either way it means that scum didn't shoot him.
---

In before chris is really BP and scum didn't believe him. lol
---

Maybe don't be such a dick to the new player?

And Corrik, your action claim is incomplete. Did you watch ColZach target scare? Track ColZach to Scare? Something else?

Forgive me, the role is new to me. My error.

Even if true, scum would have killed someone else. So it's viable that scum's kill was blocked by either a roleblocker, doctor, or nobody expects Jinjo.
---

Well, there is more possibilities than that, but I think it is safe to say that scum got blocked.
---

Or Colzach is scum. Which would be ironic.

Corrik, full claim your action, please.
---

Not full claiming shit until colzach comes in here, though my action should be obvious.
---

also given my n0 scan this makes me feel a bit better about red/corrik since scare was some kind of evil scum sk
---

You seriously going along with that fake claim?
---

I absolutely killed Scarechan, and Ive been stressing AF about it.

Independent Jinjo Hunter though, wtf.

Corrik I really wish you would have let me admit this without being prompted to, it was my full intention to admit to his death.

Hey, it was right.

My only regret is I wanted to be nice to Scare.
---

Why did you shoot scare?
---

Zach, did you kill Scare or scankill Scare?
---

Cause I felt like his behavior and demeanor were off yesterday. All of the Jinjo nonsense and the way he latched onto any lynch. I think he seriously considered 3-4 people yesterday.

wtf is a scankill

Is this a meme? I had one vig kill, I used it. I had to forgo a scan last night.

Btw, if someone blocked my kill. I immensely thank you.

In the interest of transparency, I will explain what happened yesterday. I went to meet my father when he got off work so we could go have dinner together. I got home later than expected. I barely had time to get caught up on the game, read through as quickly as possible but I was cramming 9 or 10 pages of content into around twenty minutes. And I'm someone who likes to take notes on things and think when he's catching up, so I straight up could not do that. I knew I wouldn't be able to get as up to date as I needed to be.

Now, you might ask, why would I not just stay quiet? It did indeed occur to me that I could simply lurk through the deadline unnoticed. However, fuck that shit. I owe it to town to post at the most important time of day if I am at all able to to ensure I can try to help lynch scum and also let them read me. I owe it to the game as a whole, scum included, to actually contribute at deadline. Lurking through the end of a day is beneath me as a player and I will never do it. If I'm not around, it's because I can't be. Case closed. So I decided I would offer the thoughts I had that I felt like I hadn't seen, comment on what I knew of the big lynch, and ask for someone to explain it to me because I didn't really see the case. I did not expect it to seem weird, honestly. But it did, so I guess that's that. Time to move on.

For the sake of clarity though, my level of caring is at an all time low here. I'm sleep deprived, this game is full of Jinjos, the host didn't even post until day 1 ended. My flavour name is three lines long and I feel like posting it would violate the spirit of the flavour paraphrasing rule because I can't make that shit up. I'm not entirely sure if what I have is flavour text that Blade included when he made this game five years ago or something he added to the PM now poking fun at himself. I could ask him to clarify, but fuck it, it's just flavour so who cares? I'm here to have fun. Rest assured I will still try to win - winning is more fun than losing! But I don't care. You officially are dealing with no fucks given Panthera.

In case you're wondering, there is a very important hint in there as to who scum might be.

Now, let's move on to this actual game now that I have some time to look over it, shall we? I'm starting with the beginning of topic 2 because why not, gotta start somewhere.

From: FD

The only person ive felt good about at all today in any small capacity has been Han. But my town reads are meaningless so Im sure God will strike me dead if im wrong about that.

For the lynch, or the shot?

The lynch I had was you towards the beginning of the day. Donk seemed odd and Im not sure if I would have voted for him, but I was asleep for the last 5-6 hours of the day.

For the kill I was considering Chris as well.

It's interesting to note that Red started off telling us to kill Corrik, not to trust Scare and to not trust Chris is he continues not posting. Given how Chris would later claim "Town Gets-to-know-one-of-Corrik-Scare-or-Red-is-Scum", it's neat that Red is tying them all together before hand. Scummates? Chris ripped the idea off of Red? Coincidence? The latter probably, but if there is merit to that trio and Chris having role attachment (unlikely, but this game is silly), there's some evidence Red knew. I am writing this before seeing the night results, fyi, so for all I know all these people are dead but fuck that, I'm having fun here.

The next thing that stood out is that Chris loves when weak players are power. This makes sense as both scum and town, the former because he likes power roles being less threatening and the latter because it makes it more likely the weak power role player gets killed before him. I'm not going to tunnel Chris here, don't worry, just reminding you of this and the fact that he's a selfish poopy head (ps Chris just kidding I'm not actually mad at you. Not real mad, anyway. Mafia mad maybe, but mafia madness is different). Scare thinks Zach is town unless Chris is scum and feeding him a crazy claim, then concludes that's conspiracy theory territory and decides Zach is town for his killer cop claim (this reminds me of a bad Morbid Angel album here...Town Hardcore Radikult?!)

Even though Zach's claim will obviously resolve itself, I will again remind you that we spent two days arguing about whether or not scum would bus in a given situation. He was on a scumboard full of discussion of the concept. He says he does not know what a bus is. Zach, I really want you to explain how you managed to not know what a bus is in mafia terms. I am beginning to think you are not the brilliant adversary I thought you were...kidding, you're cool. But really, how? I hope you're somehow still alive to read this, kind of embarrassing if you aren't.

So. Chris is convinced the scum team is cowardly, paralyzed by fear of his inactivity. That's a very odd thing to fear, but okay. If you see anyone paralyzed by fear, let me know, we can lynch those commie bastards together. He thinks Scare, Red and Corrik have big dicks or something? Sounds kinky but not all that productive for mafia purposes, but their low aggression towards him despite his lurking catches his eye. This is, as an aside, basically all the "case" from Chris on Scare that I can see - he'll expand on it a tad but it all boils down to Scare not being able to read him as town when he's being a deliberate asshole (he called himself an asshole, I'm not insulting no one over here, no one isn't even in this game). I would think Scare has played enough to be able to adjust for Chris obviously not putting as much time into this game as usual, but I'll admit it's a more salient point than I originally thought. I was skimming too hard at first.

Panthera, you might ask, what about Corrik? You talk about Chris so much, why not his best buddy 5ver (that's 1 more than 4ever)? Corrik dismisses his "breakdown" as being confused by the Jinjo mess and, amusingly, immediately asks if Chris is scared to post after Chris commented on Corrik's dick being too big to not go hard for him. Corrik has seemed off his game, I could see him going for low hanging fruit to look good like that, especially if he thought Chris would just continue to be passive.

Love me some FD hinting.

My only regret is having.... JinjoBoneitis

Hey say what you will, I GOT TO SEE A DAY 2 ON BOARD 8 AS TOWN DO YOU KNOW HOW HAPPY I AM!?

Alright, what's next? Oh, you wanted to know about the hint in the first post? There wasn't one, I just wanted to make sure you read it. Take that, game! There's a hint...or...something? Something in this series of posts if you read between the lines though. Or before the lines. Around before the lines.

Great. Leo posted. He sounded reasonable, not buying Scare's willingness to buy Zam's claimish thing. Leo could you like, vote for a sandwich or talk about big dick hunters or something? You're coming off as such a reasonable townie that it's making it hard for me to joke about you,

Hello there, what's this? Corrik was fishing for Chris' approval on a Donker lynch at 6:14 pm MST, June 27, 2018. Yeah I'm a police officer now. I am town Vanilla, TOWN COP, Vanilla Town. No. But yes, Corrik did that. Scare voted Red. Man, I see why Chris claimed "Town SomethingAboutTheseGuys", they couldn't stop talking about each other. As an aside, it's fun to see Corrik coming around to the Jinjo madness after how bewildered he was early on.

Eeesh, Han wants to round up those who bought Zach's claim and does not like Donker's vote on Corrik one bit, no sir. Han would later vote Donker despite the fact that it was an alternative lynch to me that I kind of pushed, even though I seemed to be his main scumspect yesterday. I actually think this makes Han town, he's going with the flow on what feels right instead of trying to force looking consistent. I don't know why he hates me so much (mafia hate, not real hate, you don't even know me Han it's okay I know that) but he might just be a cool guy and he might just be right that I'm a dumb dumb.

To be, or not to be? That is not the question FD asked, nor is it the one he raised. The one he raised is how Han be the only person he feels good about? Even I felt good about...uh...people...Dude you gotta play this game, man. Play the game, be the game, live the game. Love the game. Not sexually though, that's gross. But anyway, he's very wishy washy about it, saying God will strike him down if he's wrong. I guess he's right because immediately after Chris posted and didn't strike him down at all.

Then we come to...god did anyone other than Corrik, Leo, Chris, Red and Scare exist? Large stretch where it just feels like their posts and posts about them completely dominated the game. There's a lack of variety, but never fear! I happen to know IGCD was around and just kind of being odd like he has all game. I'm sorry, that was pretty useless.

IfGodCouldDie. IGCD. Let's talk. I'm going to put you on the spot here. It's a good spot, great spot, one of the best spots you'll ever come across. Make Spots Great Again. You voted basically everyone yesterday. Maybe literally everyone, but I'm not certain and can't be assed to check. Clarify what was genuine lynch this guy/pressure/scum hunting and what was tomfoolery. I do not like you trying to obscure your voting record by overflowing it with information. If you're a good townie you will set the record straight. If you're a bad townie you'll also set the record straight, it just might take more effort to wring it out of you.

My KILL, as in someone killing me, the hypothetical KILL aimed towards me, the KILL with my name on it. Jesus how have I already forgotten that playing mafia in this game comes along with being reminded that I dont speak very eloquently.

Yall make me feel dumb.

Panth wtf are you doing this game, I dont understand what this no fucks given mode is, but I told everyone I was a fucking noob. Nobody said train, just bus. I had no idea what a bus is.

So, so you think you can tell, heaven from hell? Blue skies from pain? Can you tell a green field from a mafia post? No? Too damn bad. Here's a clue: This is a mafia post. Zxyzy (fuck spelling this name from memory jesus, he's Lieutenant Letters from now on) pretty much only checked in to show he existed and share some Jinjoism. Lieutenant, I expect better. Not that I'm one to talk, but look at me now. Please tell me who at least one scum is, thanks. The big secret of this is I'm putting all this shit out here to look good while begging everyone else to do the work for me. I'll be grateful if you help me out here.

Curious how dowolf voted Red because Leo did, drawing attention to how he wished Leo were more behind it. I don't know how dowolf plays anymore, like at all. Haven't played with him in years. Does he typically need "permission" from another player to vote? If so he messed up because he got confused and it was actually Scare who had voted Red. Town points to dowolf, I know how it feels to have no fucking clue what's going on.

And there's what I was looking for! Han going ham (going han?) on the list of people who had voted Zach earlier, or even talked about him a bit it seems. Donker and Chris look bad in his eyes, Scare looks good. He likes Zam's Legend of Dragoon claimish thing. That game was overrated, bro. Decent, but nothing special. Anyway I am awarding Han 1000 Panthera Proven Town Points. Unfortunately this is Whose Lynch Is It Anyway, the game where everything's made up and the points don't matter. That's right, the points are like Shad saying he had no reason to doubt Corrik's claim besides the fact that Corrik is never to be trusted ever back in topic, they do. Not. Matter

Now. Leo raises the point that Red set off a "not Jinjo" claim train. If Jinjos matter, that is relevant. If they're like the points, it isn't. But it could suggest a town Red not really realizing the possibility of Jinjos being important, whereas scum would be more likely to have some setup knowledge from their own roles hinting at Jinjoism.

No, that's dumb. A bunch of this will be moot anyway when people flip. But thoughts! Probing! Big dicks.

Everyone relax, it's almost over. Scare was demanding claims from a guy who replaced in who didn't actually replaced in and had also already claimed. Very claim happy. I thought Scare didn't like early claims back in the day, or am I confusing him with someone else? He also notes Shad's claim stands out from the other Jinjo claims. Very peculiar, isn't it? Don't you think, Wildebert? Who is Wildebert? Why, he's that guy I once used to know how to be. I don't know, is flavour meta'ing in this game of all games a sign of scum forcing a lynch or town being confused as hell? I'm bad at meta, there's no way I can meta the meta. My inclination is that it's a way for scum to look more productive than they are.

Ready or not, here we go. Don't fear, I'll still be around until someone kills me or I single handedly kill all the scum like the mafia god mvp I am not or more likely we lynch all the scum. I'm skipping to close to the deadline because why not? MZero notes Shad didn't like a b8 special led by some people he didn't trust, but didn't say anything about what he thought of the actual target (ie me, I'm selfish, acknowledge me! Say "wep wep wep" if you care). BCT took the opportunity to start some joke vote Panera bread stuff. BCT, derailing deadlines with humour is a bad look. dowolf literally believes my half assed semi accurate flavour claim of something dumb is too weird to fake. I know your pain, man. I really do. Leo went nuts voting everyone at the end because he didn't like the sudden shift away from me. I dig it, Leo. You're wrong about me having scummates who wanted to save me, but you're thinking. I like it. Chris is Bulletproof Bitches Who Knows One Third of Some Other Guys Is Scum, fyi. I wish I had that role.

! It's done! The wall has ended! Well, more like a fence. I'm not Donald Trump, I don't build walls. No Corrik that is not an invitation to bring Politics Containment stuff out of containment. Same to you Chris, don't think I didn't see your little trickery earlier. In conclusion, I am forced into the same pattern I accused others of being trapped in - one of the "Chris knows crew" is probably scum and I'm kind of leaning to Corrik. Well, odds are decent more than one is scum, it's a four person crew, but you get the idea. For that is mafia. In the end, no matter how you sweat and think and strain, you are always a prisoner of the game. You look and search but the truth is so often right in front of you. Have we all been scum all along? We play this game that so often fills with rage and contempt, so often creates bitter feelings, and yet we continue to do so, heedless of the cost. But I say no. I say, we stand for what we believe in, even when we know it may be wrong. I say, we endure the agony of defeat because it makes the thrill of victory so much sweeter. I say we are only so harsh on each other in the hopes that it will push us all to new heights. In the end, the only Town Points that truly matter are the ones in our hearts. Thank you all, and to all a good night.
