I'm not going to take a NLP as evidence of anything other than a direct and not-alignment-indicative claim. Done that too many times with Zinger so I know how easy it is to weasel.

However, the timing of Rubik's return followed by salt re: "It's better to stay inactive" combined with Aaarrrgh's question about Naga's status makes me lean Rubik

Scum!Aaarrrgh would have no reason to ask for it to be confirmed that Naga is still inactive. If Naga had been confirmed inactive (as was probable if any confirmation were to be given) that would be a blow to active scum as it would remove a potential mislynch. Now, this is probably WHY we got a "neither confirm nor deny" at this time, but scum would want it to stay ambiguous. Rubik has continually pushed ambiguity. Aaarrrgh has tried to reduce it.

I'm going to lock my vote to Rubik.

Hopefully Naga comes back (or is scum).

Good luck, guys.

I want to make sure that everyone knows that according to the rules, inactivity in thread is okay if you show activity in other ways, either through outside chat or PM to the host. I'm still on board with lynching Rubik here, but I think Naga might be the safer play. We still have another day, but if Tevish already locked his vote then that's where we should go.

I already locked argh. If you and cl want to try to lock naga, you're welcome to try.

I'll wait and see what CL says, then.

I assume that means both Tevish and CL are locked on Rubik. If you are not, please let me know ASAP. Most likely I will lock my vote on Rubik as well in a few hours. I just want to give people a last chance to add something if they want to.

I thought deadline was yesterday.

Cool. Then Rubik is the only viable lynch today, and I'm locking in. Hopefully that ends the game.

Here's hoping it's Naga and you guys can lynch him.

This game was super basic. Mafia was standard no power, factioned kill. They were limited to talking only during task phases. Zinger's ability was claimed and demonstrated so you all know that one. Naga was the other PR in the form of tracker. He only submitted two targets: Zinger and KoD respectively. Luckily and unluckily for KoD he did not perform the second night kill. So he didn't get caught but inactive Naga couldn't add to his good grace cred either.

Yay! Good game. Watching was frustrating and fun. Didn't think town would pull it off, especially with the tracker missing, but it suddenly went very quickly.

do i change my sig now that kod finally actually shot me

gg

Funny how that just sort of came together at the end. I'll be honest after how well KoD had me convinced that I was making a losing move on the day he was lynched, I had no right to win this. I guess he was going for the big WIFOM with actually just shooting Amber out the gate.

according to JD he just shot her for the meme (which i didn't think was the case)

Yeah, KoD really messed with my head by making the meme play. I'm just glad I could hold my ground the last day. I was not expecting to win after all of the bad plays I made throughout the game.

KoD missing deadline day 3 was a major factor in how this game ended up playing out. Had he voted on time he could have easily stalled that day and changed the entire landscape of end game.

I feel like I didn't play well either.
