.... I know I hate conversion theories but I can’t help but be concerned someone was converted last night.

Why? Is it because of this part of the write up?

Well, there was no way for her to leave. Might as well enjoy the show.

Rise, Rapture, rise
We turn our hopes up to the skies
Rise, Rapture, rise
We'll go down with our sinking paradise
My city is thriving
Your allies- choose them wisely
Our Rapture is rising
Stand with us, Would You Kindly?
RISE​

I have a very limited understanding of Bioshock so hopefully @Trilt or @holdthemayo can explain more, but I think the "would you kindly" phrase is how people are forced to do what the person saying it wants. I don't know if that applies to everyone in the Bioshock game or just some people - but that's what happened in that audio clip that Trilt had posted earlier, and Zenge had told me something like that when I'd asked him general Bioshock questions before this game started.

Yes. The stand with us, with no night kill gives me the heebie jeebies.
Maybe someone will admit to being attacked and surviving? But I don’t think there were any items that seemed to do that.

This is interesting

In-Thread Attack - Mafia Universe Wiki

www.mafiauniverse.com

Remember when we sussed that there was a kill not by the wolves, but by a vig or 3P?

I wonder if in thread quotes are how Mayo earns money for shanks or something.

But he's so village why would he kill anyone?

Sometimes someone has X # of chances to kill a specific someone or role for their win con.

LIS already brought up he thought someone was looking for a little sister or something.

Ww is full of roles where someone has to find someone and do something in order for something else to happen, gaining a power, a kill shot, winning the game.

An in-thead attack isn't a mechanic we've ever had on SDN. It means everyone can attempt kill, at least once, during the day cycle in addition to the real abilities they have.

 

[Chaostrodon]

We have had day vigilantes in our games

 

[Chaostrodon]

Never had anything similiar to what you are suggesting tho , closest I can think of is modposter

 

[samac]

We’ve had vigilantes too, but they’ve been village and definitely have taken more shots than 1 possible shot day 1.

That would be crazy

 

[Animal Midwife]

Is it. And I hope to mod one sometime!

 

[Lupin21]

Is it. And I hope to mod one sometime!

I feel most these folks would appreciate the excitement of will they die or won't they, so just fire away!

 

[Animal Midwife]

You usually only see it in big games. Like a 30+ speed game or a 100+ regular game.

@holdthemayo
You were looked at by Dina. Can you confirm the action?

I received multiple actions the night Dina seered me.

One was a camera which I think was probably her, but someone else watched me intently so that could have been a her or a different ability

"Would you kindly" is the phrase that Fontaine uses to control the player's actions. That was a very ominous write up.

 

[Crayola227]

He did not seer as 3p.

We are not calling him neutral because he seered as 3p.

We are calling him neutral because he freaking seered as neutral.

It is idiotic to call someone who seered as neutral chaos.

I am so tired of this argument on thread. Dina's ability was not to determine village/not village. It was an alignment seer. She was told Mayo was neutral. Stop trying to twist that into anything other than it is.

Not a thing you said actually invalidated my post in any way.

 

[Crayola227]

Just because this is a point I want to prove, I just searched for Dubz posting her spreadsheets and pulled neutrals from the easily available ones.

We have one independent murderer - notably not ACTUALLY called neutral, but I included to be thorough - a couple JOAT characters, and others with generic abilities. There is a non-zero chance I'm wrong because, hey, he's not village, but "not village = dead" is a way I've seen a lot of people lose cycles and good players in my game so I rail against it.

MJ wrote some of this game. A lot of bets are off.

 

[Crayola227]

I think so, if we concluded that Cyndia used one and that’s why she was silenced on D5. Cigs would have been used by April, mkg, alley, Cray, and Cyndia.

That's five. Isn't that more cigs than we thought? Not that it matters - there's some duplication of things like protection, etc.

No, there were 5 in the vending machine on the first day.

Night 6

Cohen's an artist, says some. He's a Section Eight, says I. He's a real lunatic, a dyed in the wool psychopath.

She wandered from Athena's Glory to Fort Frolic, restless, mind heavy with the thoughts of her responsibilities, her missteps. And still, despite all the progress they had made, threats remained, and she saw no simple path to rid them of Fontaine's spies. If only they could get their hands on some more ADAM...

A voice crackled over the Fort Frolic intercom system. Strange. She hadn't been here before, thought it was abandoned like most other areas of Rapture. Lights went on all around her.

Ah, that's better. Atlas, Ryan, Atlas, Ryan, duh duh duh, duh duh duh. Time was you could get something decent on the radio. The artist has a duty to seduce the ear and delight the spirit: So say goodbye to those two blowhards, and hello! to an evening with Sander Cohen.

She turned to leave, go back to her room in Athena's Glory, not sure she wanted to meet this Cohen guy. But as she made her way back to the bathysphere, she watched the gates close, and the sphere sink into the water. Music swelled all around her, but between the notes she heard something...something like gunfire, bullets flying in quick succession, and running footsteps, retreating.

Well, there was no way for her to leave. Might as well enjoy the show.

Rise, Rapture, rise
We turn our hopes up to the skies
Rise, Rapture, rise
We'll go down with our sinking paradise
My city is thriving
Your allies- choose them wisely

I'm wondering if the wolves made an attempt on the 3P last night that failed. Not that he would tell us.

This makes it seem even more important to me that we deal with it and vote him. Might be the only way he dies.

 

[Lupin21]

Ugh it isnt , you are probably getting another town out

what are your thoughts that she has liked some posts but hasn't checked in?

 

[samac]

I received multiple actions the night Dina seered me.

"Would you kindly" is the phrase that Fontaine uses to control the player's actions. That was a very ominous write up.

Wait so you were watched and seered.
So someone knew you were seered by Dina and knew you were the 3rd party.

are we really assuming watcher in this game is wolf? If so I have an idea. I don’t want to hand over watcher to wolf though and I’m conflicted on mechanics talk.

If the watcher has been repeatedly targeting non-Dina players all game, then yes, they're a wolf.

 

[samac]

Then I suspect it’s pleasy or cray.
they would have saw Dina went to mayo that night and Dina told us she seered a 3P. So they knew mayo was 3P.
cray started throwing accusations immediately and pleasy made that weird haha it’s a dream comment.

 

[supershorty]

Cray pushing the neutral yeet as hard as she is feels a little weird to me. Maybe it's because I haven't really encountered neutrals in a game before, but she just seems really fixated on it.

Stop calling 3P neutral like that means they are harmless. May as well call them by their other name, chaos. We don't know if he has a win condition, and if he does, if achieving it means everyone loses automatically, or if he can only win with wolves, or either side. Impossible to tell so far.

The quote dropping is weird and likely related to his being 3P.

Mayo had said before the game started that he was going to drop lots of quotes because he loves Bioshock. Before roles went out, before any of that.

He did not seer as 3p.

We are not calling him neutral because he seered as 3p.

Including this quote because I agree with it.

Do you have an example of where he wouldn't give information he was asked for? Because samac and I both asked him for information this morning and he readily volunteered it. And why are you assuming that there was an attempt on him specifically?

I don't know, maybe it's nothing, but I feel like the push to yeet someone who we KNOW isn't a wolf is just a little weird.

There was a neutral in our noob game, he was able to put the people in the write ups. He won with whoever made it to the end and won with village

Oh yeah! hallowmann, I think.

Edit: I went back and looked and it doesn't actually say he was neutral, it says independent. Vets, is that its own thing?

 

[Barkley13]

Right and like the spreadsheets trilt found shows, I’ve been neutral in 2 dubz games and either time could have won with either side

 

[Animal Midwife]

No, it's just another way of describing a 3p. Again, I only care about wincon followed by ability. Names are meaningless to me.

Just a little more ambiance for you all. Really enhances the reading experience.

 

[Lupin21]

So with please liking non content posts, but not posting, this is similar to paw prints yesterday. Do we actually think there is a silencer role? I am getting so confused by lynching non posters and some being a wolf and some not. MJ making cigs and a wolf role would possibly balance.

Unless it was WZ, kdubz, or SAR. Whomever, it would make sense. haha

I think it's possible because Lawpy was silenced and didn't use cigarettes.

I thought pawprints did like content posts. Also, mods shut down any liking during silencing, didn't they?

Lawpy couldn't like any posts at all, as far as I could tell. So I'm not sure whether please only reacting to a couple of non-content posts so far today means she's actually silenced or not. It sounded like the mods didn't want a repeat of what Cray did with letting us know she was there.

as far as I know the mods shut it down completely per cray.

[Lupin21]

I thought pawprints did like content posts. Also, mods shut down any liking during silencing, didn't they?

I know they did for the cigs, but not for the silence ability if lawp was role related I thought.

 

[Lupin21]

Hmmm. So Paws just didn't say anything? Sigh. Makes things harder.

 

[Animal Midwife]

I know they did for the cigs, but not for the silence ability if lawp was role related I thought.

Seems inconsistent to do one and not the other if they have identical effects.

 

[supershorty]

I know they did for the cigs, but not for the silence ability if lawp was role related I thought.

I think he couldn't at all. I'd sent him something completely unrelated to the game (a cat video, lol) in our PM to see if he'd react to that and he didn't.

And we're in the opposite direction than we're usually facing

Silencing means no reacts or posts or PMs or reacts to PMs according to the notification i got. This is why i thought pawprints wasn't silenced. And i don't think pleasy is silenced either.

 

[Animal Midwife]

Any reason for the pleasy votes? 🤔

I'm bothered by her reads only being accurate on days a wolf is outted, the ever decreasing activity, and just straight up surviving all the double kills over sketchier people despite being "clear" since D2.
