Board 8 > Time Travelers Mafia Topic 6: Dreaming of a Timeline without Endless Eight

(+) Yeah! (+)

One mans amazing future is another mans mundane present.
In the future you can go to the moon, have a robot as your best friend, pet a dinosaur and meet the heads of ancient presidents.
All the boring activities the average citizen in the year 3000 can imagine.

You are Philip J. Fry, TOWN Vanilla

You may live in the future now, but you're still just an average joe. You have no real special talent of your own.... besides being your own grandpa. Sure that comes in handy during a brain invasion, but I can assure you you have bigger threats to worry about this time.
All you can do is vote during the day. You win when all threats to the timeline have been dealt with.

The lives of our ancestors often seems cooler than our own, everything was better in the old days many say.
But history tends to leave out the bad and color the past brighter than it really is. History is written by the winners and they leave their secrets in the dark.
You are right there in the dark with them.

You are Desmond Miles, TOWN Time Watcher
Also known as the less interesting part of the early Assassins Creed games. But you are the traveller who makes it possible to see what many can only dream of.
You can also use your own eyes and see the truth of what happened, rather than relying on scripture or other such historical records.

Each night you can target a living player and watch them to learn the names of everyone that visited him that night. Standard Watcher stuff.
Also, once during the game,you can instead go into the past and watch a dead player to see whoever visited them during the night they died.
You win when all threats to the timeline have been dealt with.

Well that was embarrassing. I'm so delusional that I still don't believe it. Gonna re-read basically everything with the new context that I was oh so wrong.

And last night I targeted Chang again, I did NOT get blocked. So chang's night action should now be a today action

couldn't have left me a lopen...
now I think I'm gunna have to actually play?

Ben/Peaf/Corrik? one yas surely gets to be scum ya?

I'm ready to lynch every single one of you tbh

So what's the over-under that a big reason I'm now here instead of Blade is because Blade realized he left chang untouchable and got pinged for scum? Because I don't get why I wouldn't be dead over Lopen for whomever was the extra kill.

Also, apologies for late, I've been on a tattoo table for the past three hours, and I have not done my due reading diligence. Gomen nasai.

Isquen on the other hand thinks he would be a nightkill

okay time to reveal all and then to cook

first thing's first Ben is not lying about his ability - it has been used on me, though that means probably far too late for me to ever get something useful out of my ability :( because i'm assuredly dead tonight

second thing, i was in fact correct about the flavor split or lack thereof so i will be collecting my flowers for that

now time to claim

The Watcher (Marvel), TOWN Time Rolecop

Once per game, I can target the runner-up on the previous day's lynch and see exactly their flavor and role as it would flip. Essentially, this would see through Ulti's ability, or any other abilities that would change the player's flavor and/or role. (the first thing I did on Day 0 was ask Death whether I would see SCUM Godfather as that role, and I do)

THE PROBLEM is that you all have made Scare the runner-up lynch on literally every single lynch thus far. When I recieved the PM I was planning to use it on Night 1 almost no matter what, but after the flip I thought Scare was so obviously town on the scum/town lynch that there was obviously no need to use it. So then after Day 2 I was going to use it just to rest all uncertainty and put the issue to bed, but I was blocked. Then after Day 3 it was once again extremely obvious that Scare was town, so no need to use it. And that's where we are now, where I technically can use my ability for the duration of today's day phase, but once again I can still only target Scare, who is already dead and flipped. Maybe the most useless use of any power ever. I guess I should have just claimed yesterday and hoped someone would help me out and let me scan SBell, but alas.

So yeah anyway no way I live through tonight, so nothing to lose by revealing all.

NOW:

I still want to heavily pursue Ben, because I think his ability still doesn't make a ton of sense with the town roles in the game. I think it's very plausible he's either an every other night roleblocker / role delayer or perhaps can choose between the two roles each night.

There's really no plausible reason for him to get roleblocked on Day 2.

BUT:

Even more obvious to me is that Isquen/Blade is some kind of 3P. It perfectly explains why there wasn't a second kill for the first two nights, and then as soon as Blade replaces out, there's a kill. Blade was clearly annoyed at whatever his role was, and tried to claim it was some kind of useless self-confirmable role, but Isquen is playing it different, naturally. I mean this post today clearly suggests it:

Like, Blade was pretty thinly veiled in claiming that his role didn't have any other components to it, but he stuck to that story. (of course, I never believed that for a second). Isquen on the other hand thinks he would be a nightkill, which to me suggests that there's a lot more to his role than we've been let onto

Now that I am thinking about the possibility of your survival tonight - couldnt the reason for two kills be because Ulti copied Red's ability, used it on his scummate, and thus gave them two nightkills last night? And that would mean they cant kill this following night. There is nothing in Red's flip that says it cant be used on nightkills. Mine specifically says it cannot interact with the factional kill.

So is that not the most likely possibility?

Isquen, I trust you the most out of everyone right now, if only because of blade's pettiness about things.

If you had a gun right now to give to someone else to shoot, who would you give it to and why?

i mean, we can just throw it out the window if there's no kill tonight, but for now i think it makes the most sense to operate as though there is 1 scum + 1 3P

if i don't die tonight i'm getting roleblocked. i'm very pessimistic on the chances of ever using that power in a meaningful way

Yes, you should clear me of all things. Sorry I didn't come back to the topic last night. it's been a busy weekend (makeup christmas with the family).

Marty Mcfly. Town Vanilla.

I had a lot of words with death after rolling vanilla in a game I was promised wacky roles.

0] Peaf - (Wallz), (Lopen), (Ulti), (Lopen), (Lopen)

Corrik can you claim please

##Vote: Corrik

If scum wants me to stop catching them topic 1 day 1 every game then they need to start making it hard for me to catch them.

Him and Lopen both pre-announcing inactivity is red flag city. Fuck that.

The reason Ulti is scum btw is he's not actually attacking Corrik

He's breadcrumbing attacking me under the guise of attacking Corrik. So later when I get more votes for being inactive he can be like "oh well I can't get Corrik lynched may as well lynch Lopen"

I think Corrik is probably town Ulti probably scum

The part of why suspect Ulti is he's grouping Corrik and I based on non-logic (Corrik hasn't pre announced inactivity any more than he has any other game)

What's the motivation there while voting Corrik?

An easy pivot obviously. There'd be no reason to group us otherwise.
