Final statement JD?

Shoot straight, shoot true. No matter the outcome I understand we all look terribly scummy by the nature of the game. No hard feelings if you shoot me.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I want you to know that I also will not have any hard feelings if you shoot Numbers.

Vote: Fred

Guess I have 48 hours to figure this out then.

A concensus has been reached!

The three remaining continue the arguement, looking to see who will get the bullet.

One wishes it for himself, the other doesn't know what to do with the shot, and the other wishes the bullet given to the one who hasn't decided.

Words are exchanged and as the one who wishes it for himself relents, it soon is clear who will get the last shot. Lights flicker as the man gets his bullet.

However this works out, this ends soon... I wish the setting could be more appropriate to the mood.

You have 48 hours to send in your Night actions.

And so our story must end... Overriding final directives to set the scene.

The scenery shifts to that of a dirty back alley. The three of you in a standoff. Freddeh holding his gun eyes darting between Aaarrrgh and 15377. Both wait patiently for his choice as they have both waited for his. 15377 nods, hoping to ease Freddeh's mind.

Freddeh shakes his head and says, "No,"

The gun fires.

Oh my...

As 15377 lies dead Freddeh calming he turns to Aaarrrgh, who raised his gun to shoot. A single shot to the head ends it.

15377 as the Link Impersonator, Town Vanilla and Freddeh, Otherworldly Gunman, Town Vanilla both die.

The computer whirs as the scene fades. I didn't see that coming. Well played.

Aaarrrgh smiles as he gets a chance to play his game... Another time.

Aaarrrgh as Evil Batmite, Mafia Goon has won!

gdi Fred

RIP me.

I didn't want to give Numbers a win for not trying tbh, would have felt much worse than letting Aaarrrgh win here if he really was scum, and with the lack of content combined with Numbers stupid goading it was basically a coinflip.

I also stopped really caring about this game when you, as town, killed my top town read .

Mah bad!

But Fred!

I swear! He was totes scum to me!

I knew Aaarrrgh had a chance after the coinflip landed in his favor and the no lynch plan went through.

Truthfully, the KoD shot was the smartest move on his part in my opinion. Breaks up the KoD/Numbers fake mason team (though both were town for sure!) and leaves one more coinflip...

Fun watching this story unfold! Have another one in the works along with the Epistemology idea.

@Fred, having a different mentality about approaching the game isn't not trying.

I found it especially hard to find something to talk about in this game since the point of day wasn't to find scum, especially in the later days. I think an interesting aspect to be maybe considered in later installments would be making self votes invalid, essentially forcing everybody to at least talk about their strongest town read without having to essentially spend all their time tooting their own horn.

Yes! I feel I got lucky here. Me ending D1 early really was a mistake, I hadn't noticed my vote would end the day. But that worked out quite well, and then you guys ended D2 without me having anything to do with it, so I was truly blameless when there was nothing to base reads on. I thought from the start that D2 would be crucial in getting conversation going about D1 votes and shots, as that would be the only time to generate info. Especially as that would have been the only discussion that was both based on earlier events and could be put into perspective with the N2 scum kill. So the fact that none of you saw that was probably what won me the game.

See, its that philosophy why I thought you were scum.

Town should always be trying to find scum, either through POE or not. You were super quick to dismiss me and never really gave me a good post to cause me to think of you as town. I admit I was leaning townier on you on D3, but I was leaning townier on Aaarrrgh from D1. It was about 50/50 in my mind, and what tilted it toward you because of your buddying with KoD.

Boo! While I'm often wrong, I can say with 100% confidence that, had I been given the bullet on N1, Argh would have been killed. Of course, with how it played out, I can't really argue with killing numbers, but, Argh seemed like the most likely suspect to me.

I was watching from the sidelines. I totally thought Fred was scum. XD

Wait so 3 towns closed out day 2 with no discussion?

SILENT JUDGING

I was tilted tbf.

@Fred, PoE is exactly what I did but trying to eliminate yourself for everybody else is a bit of an impossible task, especially in this format. The more you try to say look at all the things the more it just looks like scum trying to grab town pants.

As for me and KoD buddying, that's just gonna kinda be a thing from how like minded we are in terms of mafia. And palladining. But mostly mafia.

You're a paladin too?

I'm sold. Everyone else doesn't matter.

I used to be a paladin once upon a time. Now a days I'm more of an Adelbert Steiner.
