Lynched DP1:

Savant - Karna - You are the son of Surya Deva. Everyone thought you were the son of a charioteer, but in reality, you were the eldest brother of the Pandavas. Even after finding this out, you decided to fight for the Kauravas because Duryodhana was the only one who respected you and called you a friend by gifting you the Kingdom of Anga. Your duty to your friends was greater than your duty to dharma which ended up being your cause of defeat. Even though you knew you were the son of Kunti, you successfully kept this information hidden from everyone and quietly kept fighting for the Duryodhana, eventually being defeated by Arjuna. Because of the fact you were a Pandava yet fought for the Kauravas and kept this status hidden from everyone, you are the Odd Night Godfather/Even Night Ninja. On odd nights, you will appear as innocent to all investigations. On even nights, if you conduct the factional night kill, it will not show up on any watcher, tracker, voyeur, etc reports. You win with the Mafia.


Died NP1:

Earth - Bhima - Recognizing Dronacharya's unmatched skills as a warrior and his unwavering loyalty to his beloved son, Ashwatthama, you devised a clever plan to exploit his affection and trust. Knowing that Dronacharya's love for his son was his greatest weakness, you, along with your brothers and Krishna, conspired to create a deceptive illusion. Krishna instructed Yudhishthira to falsely announce Ashwatthama's death, accompanied by the elephant's name, to confuse Dronacharya. As the war raged on, you engaged Dronacharya in combat, but despite your formidable strength, you realized that defeating him in a fair fight would be nearly impossible. Seizing the opportunity presented by Krishna's plan, you proclaimed loudly that "Ashwatthama is dead!" Your voice was drowned out by the sounds of war, but Dronacharya caught the words and approached Yudhishthira to confirm the news. Yudhishthira, bound by his adherence to truth, affirmed the statement but muttered "the elephant" under his breath, ensuring that Dronacharya only heard part of the truth.Filled with grief and disbelief, Dronacharya's resolve wavered, and he lost the will to fight. Taking advantage of the situation, you, along with your brothers, launched a fierce attack on Dronacharya, overwhelming him with sheer force and numbers. In his moment of vulnerability, Dhristadyumna struck him down. Though your actions may be considered deceitful, they were driven by the necessity of war and the desire to achieve victory against a formidable opponent. Thus, you are the Deceiver. Each night you may target a player. If that player dies sometime before the next night phase, they will be revealed as any other currently living player (randomly chosen at the time of death). This can only happen once in the game. You win with the Town.

——————————————————

Lynched DP2:

Barney - Shikhandi - In your previous life as Amba, the eldest daughter of the king of Kashi, you were abducted by Bhishma, who intended to marry you to his half-brother Vichitravirya, who rejected you because you were in love with another prince. After you were released to your lover, your lover rejected you because you had been pledged to Vichitravirya. As a last resort, you asked Bhishma to be your husband, but Bhishma, bound by his vow of celibacy and loyalty to his kingdom, couldn't fulfill your wish. Feeling rejected and seeking revenge for her life being destroyed by Bhishma, you performed rigorous penance to Lord Shiva, who granted you a boon to be the cause of Bhishma's death.You were then reborn as Shikhandini, the daughter of King Drupada. During the Kurukshetra war, you wanted to fight but could not because you were a woman. Luckily, you were later transformed into a man through a divine boon granted by a Yaksha. Knowing Bhishma's vow not to fight women (done because of you), the Pandavas strategically placed you (now Shikhandi) in front of Arjuna during battle. Bhishma, respecting his vow, refused to attack Shikhandi, which allowed Arjuna to engage him in combat. With Shikhandi as a shield, Arjuna was able to pierce Bhishma with arrows, leading to his downfall. Thus, Shikhandi's past life vendetta and rebirth as a man were instrumental in Bhishma's defeat, fulfilling the prophecy and Amba's desire for vengeance. For this reason, you are the Compulsive Decoy. Each night, you must target a player to perform a "fake" night action that does nothing except register to any movement tracking roles i.e. Trackers, Watchers, Voyeurs, etc.. You win with the Town.


Died NP2:

Vader - Ghatotkach - Your tragic fate was sealed during the Kurukshetra war. Knowing the powers of his son, Bhima called upon you to engage in battle against the Kaurava forces. You fought valiantly and wreaked havoc on the enemy ranks, but ultimately fell victim to the tactics of Karna. Karna, realizing the threat posed by Ghatotkacha, used the divine weapon, Vasavi Shakti, to slay you. Ghatotkacha's sacrifice was significant in weakening the Kaurava army, but it came at the cost of his own life. Unbeknownst to you though, Vasudev Krishna had planned this in the first place. The Shakti was the only weapon Karna had that could defeat Arjuna, and with its single usage here, Arjuna was safe. Essentially, you were a victim of Krishna’s plan. Thus, you are the Victim. Each night, you may target another player. If that player performs a negative action (feel free to ask me about roles that count as negative vs positive) on anyone that night, it will be redirected onto you. The mafia faction kill cannot be redirected by you. You win with the Town.

——————————————————

Lynched DP3:

Moozer - Yudhishthira - You are the eldest of the Pandava brothers and know for your unwavering adherence to dharma and principles of righteousness. In the epic tale of the Mahabharata, your addiction to gambling reached its zenith during the infamous dice game with your cousin Duryodhana. Blinded by your overconfidence and lured by the thrill of the game, you staked and lost everything – your kingdom, wealth, and even your brothers and wife, Draupadi. This disastrous defeat not only plunged you and your family into exile but also sowed the seeds of the great Kurukshetra War. Yet, even in the aftermath of the catastrophic dice game, your resilience and commitment to dharma shone through. You embraced the consequences of your actions, going into exile. Thus, you are the Gambler. Each night, you may visit a player who you think will be eliminated the next day phase. If your guess ends up being correct, you will be rewarded with a 1x Commuter to be used on any night of your choice. You win with the Town.


Died NP3:

Austin - Dhristadyumna - You, Dhrishtadyumna, son of King Drupada, played an absolutely critical role as the supreme commander of the mighty Pandava army during the cataclysmic Kurukshetra War. Your crowning achievement was the meticulously calculated strategy that culminated in the slaying of the formidable Drona - the revered military preceptor of the Kaurava army whose skills were unmatched. However, your life ultimately met a tragic end when the vengeful Ashwatthama, Drona's son, launched a cowardly attack on you while you were sleeping. Because you were undefeated during the day and killed at night, you are the 1x Lynchproof. During one day, you may choose to become lynchproof. If a majority of the votes for you after using the ability during the day, you will survive, and the DP will continue. You may not use this ability at MYLO or LYLO. You win with the Town.


——————————————————


Remaining Players:

1. Whiteflame
2. Lunatic
3. JoeBob


With 3 players remaining, it takes 2 votes to achieve a lynch. The day phase will end in 72 hours on May 30, 2024 at 10:30am CST.




Don’t gamble when God isn’t with you

Also, no one's mentioned it yet, but it's surprising JoeBob's still alive. Scum have an RB and could have used it on Luna again to take him out. Not that it tells me anything about alignment, it's just an odd choice.



No offense but this post is just so scummy. lol joebob was the announced target so it makes more sense for them to just roleblock joebob if your the one who is mafia you don’t have anything to worry about unless you suspect me to not listen to the day call.

so I am innocent because I am a UN-CCed investigative role. I don’t know what mahrabatrih is so the role justification is lacking, but based on what I posted in the previous DP is does make sense. I can also find that post if nessesary.

I confirmed myself in Austin dp2 if you remember. Not too mention I counterclaimed the doctor day phase 1. You can’t honestly still have doubt on me. Whiteflames only protective measure in his role is for himself, so if I’m not the doctor there really is no protective roles in this game is what you are suggesting

@JoeBob
To start, I'm not going to respond to this effort to make this a me vs. JoeBob situation. I can't confirm my role without JoeBob investigating me. Someone stopped that investigation. JoeBob is clearly town, so the choice is obvious.

Given that we’re down to three and one of those three isalready town-confirmed by virtue of his role (JoeBob), scum is necessarilybetween Luna and me. That’s a given. Admittedly, I haven’t scumread Luna up tothis point. He was one of my strongest townreads, even when he was arguing withAustin, and Austin’s gambit seemingly town-confirmed him, so my attention wentelsewhere.

But here are the facts:

We can’t confirm a single thing Luna did. He claims hetargeted JoeBob the last two NPs, but since JoeBob was apparently never thetarget of the NK, so we only have his word on that. We cannot confirm his roleany more than we can confirm mine. Additionally, he hasn’t full-claimed hisrole up to this point, so he hasn’t been straight with town the entire game,using the uncertainty of his role and the earlier CC on Savant as a basis forbecoming one of the most townread players in this game. It’s the reason Itownread him initially.

And that lack of success with that role seems awfullyconvenient. I’m not surprised that he wanted to protect JoeBob, as he’s thesole investigative role, but over the last few DPs, his target was announced bysomeone else and he just went with it. That’s not what I’d expect town Luna todo, since he would know that scum would just pick a different target, wastinghis efforts.

As for why he was willing to lynch a claimed Super Saint, Ithink the answer is pretty obvious: he used Pie to confirm that there was noSuper Saint. Pie said that scum could ask him about two characters and tworoles to verify whether they were in the game. I assumed that scum would usethis to craft their fake claims, but they could just as easily have used it toconfirm the existence of claimed town roles. That also explains why he was sowilling to lynch someone he said he believed was town.

@JoeBob
Now that I think about it, we should have seen this coming: he did something similar last game, taking advantage of Pie using his role on Luna to make himself look townie, so much so that Pie ended up siding with him in the end. I remember how that went because, by then, I was sitting on the sidelines getting progressively more frustrated that Pie wasn't seeing everything he was doing to push Pie into believing he was town, along with the vaguely established Mathemetician fake claim going largely untouched. He pulled attention (whether for active sussing or just chastising them) to the less active players, noobs, and those he believed exhibited "big egos." Sound familiar?

In this game, I believed that the back-and-forth with Austin back in DP2 was genuine, at least much more so than the argument he had with me last game. In both games, though, he let his frustration boil over to try to push the lynch onto someone else, and this time, he even did it while actively saying that the target of that lynch was someone he believed was town. Beyond that, the only real difference with Luna's approach in this game is that he voted against Austin to convince him he was town instead of just accepting a role granted by another player (Pie). His strategy is virtually identical, though: use another player's role to make him seem as townie as possible.

And keeping you alive was a necessary gambit in that plan. Austin would have doubted his role claim if you had been NK'd, and then Luna would have been sussed this DP. Luna believed he already had you convinced he was town, so for him, killing Austin was necessary to secure a scum win.

@JoeBob
Well, it's been almost 3 hours since Luna posted in this DP. I did say I'd post in a few minutes, but I guess that wasn't a short enough timeframe to stay online and respond.

All I've seen from Luna so far in this DP is an attempt to sus me based on weak behavioral analysis. It's not scummy for me to point out that, given scum had an RB, they could have killed JoeBob any time they wanted as soon as they knew Luna's role. Luna's right that JoeBob was the announced target of his protection. He's wrong that the obvious play for scum was to just continually RB JoeBob. Scum had a means to kill him and didn't take the opportunity. 

The fake surprise is amusing lol. Like I just pointed out, Austin was the obvious target if you didn’t expect me to deviate from joebob.
And this response in particular surprises me. So Luna knew that Austin was an obvious target. He knew that by announcing that JoeBob would be the target of his protective action, scum were likely to target Austin instead. Setting aside the fact that scum had more incentive to take out the claimed protective role (Luna) than someone who had already used their 1X Lynchproof (Austin), if Luna truly felt that it was this obvious, why not protect Austin instead? By this point, he must have assumed that JoeBob would just be RB'd anyway, so I don't get the logic.

Luna does seem like the more reasonable lynch right now. If he is a protective role and he can’t heal himself, how hasn’t he died? Also I haven’t seen anything that actually confirms him. He could have just said he was role blocked at the beginning, so that in the later days he gets townread for getting role blocked at the beginning.

Bro if you actually throw this game when it was handed to us, I am permanently exiling myself from playing mafia with you again. Period. I am town confirmed. This is between you and whiteflame, and its now obviously whiteflame. I am double town confirmed. Stop buying into whiteflame's manipulation. I am not even kidding you I will perma ban myself from playing with you ever again if you vote me in this situation and I will call you a retard so hard in the end game. Whiteflame is appealing to you because he's hoping your a noob and will just blindly vote with him. I am literally fucking town confirmed.

Because austin has been publicly announcing who we should be protecting each night which honestly wasn't smart. Whiteflame knew who I would be on the last two night phases so he didn't have to worry about my protection blocking him ever.

I CC'ed the doc. And I lynched a lynchproof claiming he was a super saint. You literally cannot argue I am scum. Well you can, but no one smart would believe this. Which is why you are trying to appeal to joebob so hard right now and take advantage of his noobiness/laziness.

You have known who I would target every single night because austin publicly told me what to do each night (though I was planning on doing the joebob protection either way). You never had to worry about my kill protecting your kill/

I am going to a family reunion. Gonna have to be that asshole on my phone the whole time I guess. Joe on make the right decision here. If whiteflame isn’t lying there is basically no town protective role. There’s been one I every game you’ve played in so why wouldn’t there be here? And why the hell would I bus savant day phase 1 for no reason? And suicide by trying to lynch Austin claiming he was a super saint? Think about it. Makes 0 sense for me to be anything other than town.

@JoeBob
So Luna's first response is to threaten to "exile" himself from mafia if JoeBob votes against him. For all he says that I'm manipulating JoeBob, this is a pretty clear attempt to emotionally manipulate him. And, once again, it's akin to Luna's desperate behavior earlier this game and much of last game where he called me out for my gigantic ego. I remember it well because it was incredibly frustrating:

If you manage to pull this lynch off, I am gonna rub it in your face so fucking hard and proceed to never play with you again.
That was from DP2 where I was actively pursuing a lynch against him. Dude admitted he was going hard on me to shake the lynch afterward. He knows he's doing the same now. I didn't back down until there was no choice if we wanted a lynch. He thinks JoeBob will back down just because he appeals to his "noobiness/laziness." Who's being lazy here, exactly? The one who is laying out precisely how another player could come off as "confirmed" when in reality they were anything but, or the one who's threatening to exile himself from forum mafia if he doesn't get his way?

Luna repeatedly mentions that he is "confirmed," pointing to two pieces of evidence: the CC on Savant's Doc, and lynching Austin. I've already explained the latter - scum could very easily have asked Pie if a Super Saint was actually in this game - and the former is even easier to explain: Savant was already being scumread and the CC, which would be easy to craft (note he still hasn't given his full role claim), makes him look townie. It's the same reason he gave for why he thought Austin might bus Savant back in DP2, and if he believed that for someone who started that wagon, it most definitely applies to Luna as well.

Aside from that, I haven't seen any response to my point about his decision not to target Austin last night. He says Austin was the "obvious target" of the NK. He knew that Austin would die if he did nothing and that JoeBob would survive. As a claimed town protective role, he still made the decision to target JoeBob. Why? Because Austin announced that he should? Luna's basically straight up saying that he sheeped Austin's direction knowing that the target would be Austin himself. Why would he claim to know that Austin was even the "obvious target" in the first place if he's actually town? It's obvious to him because that's the target he chose.

With the Gambler's 1X Commuter and my VIP in play, town has protective roles. Luna isn't giving any reason why his still vague claim has to be in this game.



So, yeah, I'm going to VTL Luna. Maybe it's just that he's distracted going to this family reunion of his, but this is some weak ass defense.

I am twice confirmed. How you don’t know this blows my mind.

1. Counterclaimed the fake doctor (savant) dp1 

2.  Lynched Austin the claimed super saint dp2 which as mafia would have lost me the game.

If you lynch me it’s literally you being an idiot. There is 0 manipulation about it. This should have been me choosing between you and Whiteflame not you choosing between me and Whiteflame. If you fuck this up you are a retard and I’ll never stop reminding you
