[WW/Mafia] Mansion Murder Mystery

[bc56]

Well, I'm finally back.
I suspect Xihirli more than flat_footed, and BoP and Kgato can corroborate each other and therefore are probably who they say they are.

[flat_footed]

Care to shed any light on your win-condition, outside of living? It seems odd to me that a game this small has two identical, (apparently) non-powered neutrals.

Outlive the other false friend, kind of like how it was in the London game.

[Xihirli]

Hm. Alright, I'm willing to accept your claim, Flat_footed.
I'll be honest, bc, if we look at your voting history you follow crowds, don't provide much reasoning, and try to stay innocuous. Just like JeenLeen did. Your most recent vote is just one more example in a long line. If Flat_footed is willing to swap to you I certainly see a case to tie you to the chandelier then cut it down.

... And you claim to have gotten over your violent streak.

I would've been more talkative, but I had some real life stuff crop up over the last few days. I haven't even been using my night powers.

Though I still prefer to see you as the dagger hanging over us all, Xi.

[Xihirli]

Aw, you like seeing me? That's sweet. I like seeing you too.

We'd both rather fatally mob stab a wolf than a neutral. bc56.

Feel free to kill me, just know that it may be the last thing you do. I'm no wolf, I'm the other of the crime novelist/enthusiast pair (I dunno which, see my comment about being too busy to do anything with this game).

Huh.

And who does that make you, Xi?

[bc56]

Huh.

And who does that make you, Xi?

It makes her the last wolf.

[Xihirli]

Well, since JeenLeen was a townie Night One I guess I'm the fool.

- - - Updated - - -

But bc can do enough math to find out we'd have to end up fighting over that claim, don't they. Lucky for them they don't have to defend any scry results to say which of the two they are.

[flat_footed]

Of course you'd say that.

Well, Xi and bc56, is there anything else you can say to sway my mind?

[Xihirli]

All I can say is, look at our track records this game. Which of us have been following in the innocuous, safe-playing background-clinging footsteps of our alleged wolf friend, JeenLeen? That's the only active wolf we have to look at to find the game plan (unless it was offing one another) and in my view bc has followed that mold perfectly.

I've looked back over your "analyses" from the earlier rounds. Every time, you claimed that the events didn't make sense or that your analyses were inconclusive.

Except, when you voted to lynch Caerulea (a townie) and hinted that the remaining wolf had the same power.

You also never voted for a wolf, and were recorded as consciously not targeting Mordokai, the Academic

Know that if you lynch me, you'll be left with two townies, a neutral, and a wolf, and the wolf knows who the soldier is now.

[Xihirli]

That never made a lot of sense to me, I'll be honest. It didn't seem to be based on anything I ever actually said.

Anyway, give me a minute.

A good point, but we have a void as well. We should be ok no matter what happens.

Starting to lean your way now, bc.

[bc56]

Xihirli is also the only person left who hasn't said what they were.

BoP and Kgato are the Soldier and Worker, respectively. They corroborate each other, yada yada.

I have no reason to believe flat_footed is lying about being the neutral. The only one who would know that there is a second neutral would be the second neutral themselves. He may not, however be a false friend.

That leaves the crime novelist/enthusiast and the gold digger.

Either Xihirli or me I is the wolf. I have claimed to be the enthusiast, Xihirli has claimed nothing.
It all boils down to who you choose to believe.

By claiming fool, Xihirli is basically saying she is the same role you are.

Note that she hasn't come out with any insights from her scrying. I at least have an explanation for my lack of knowledge.

[Xihirli]

Pfft. The gold digger isn't the last wolf. The psychopath is.

I say, ironically.

End Of Day 4

bc56 barely looked up from the manuscript he was working on as the others surrounded him. "You won't get away with thisn" he said calmly.

"Perhaps. But you won't live to see whether you're right or not."

bc56 was lynched. They were the true Crime Novelist, flyinglemur was merely the Enthusiast.

Night 4 begins now, and will end in ~48 hours.

[flat_footed]

Aw, hell. Sorry bc56.

[Xihirli]

So.
Who's willing to bet, for 100%, that you'll be able to kill me tonight if I'm voided?

- - - Updated - - -

This was always how it was going to end. You can void me or my new bestie, who's decided he wants all of the inheritance rather than a third. I'd recommend the former, but then... I wouldn't, because I want to kill you all. Oh, and a bane might be a better idea for your wolf pups than a night-kill but who am I to say?

Yes. Xihirli the Psychopath. The least expected role there ever could have been. Nobody could have seen it coming! I shot the two dozen flintlock pistols, I moved my vote to kill my "informant," I pranked and then stabbed Elenna. I egged you all on to kill one another. Congratulations, my would-have-been follow heirs. At the end of this, only disgusting murderers can leave because only we are left inside. I've made every one of you complicit in these killings! Every. One. So my victory will be complete tomorrow morning. One way or the other.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Wow I missed a lot today. So, kill Xihirli?

[Xihirli]

If you think you can.

[kgato503]

Wow I missed a lot today. So, kill Xihirli?

Go for it.

End Of Night 4

Xihirli rushed back to her room, the others hot on her trail. She just needed to get her backup brace of pistols to shoot the chandelier so it'd fall on her enemies...and they'd be screwed! But when she arrived, everything was empty, with a note on the door saying "house cleaning came by, sorry for the inconvenience :3". She turned just in time to see BasketOfPuppies come through the door. "Wait, I've got one last trick up my sleeve!" She produced a small remote. "After all of the absolutely rude accusations lobbed at me yesterday, I planted a bomb in the pocket of one of the fools who cottoned onto my ruse! Shoot me if you dare, but you'll only be dooming yourselves!"

"Okay." BANG

Elsewhere in the house, an explosion was heard. The bleeding psychopth blinked in confusion.

"The only person who stood by their accusations of you yesterday was bc56," kgato explained.

Xihirli's last words were "Ah...well, that's a fair cop."

Xihirli died. She was the Psychopath.

All town roles win!
flat_footed wins!

Ah, but more importantly: at the end of it all, once all the wills were sorted and argued out...

BasketOfPuppies the Soldier was voted for 2 times, ,and has received a decent amount of money solely by virtue of so many people being dead.

flat_footed the False Friend was voted for 2 0 times, and has become fabulously wealthy by virtue of being missing for most of the game!

kgato503 the Working Class was voted for 0 times, and has become fabulously wealthy by virtue of nobody murdering the help!

[Xihirli]

I'd have gotten to it...

The wolf chat is mostly just me talking to myself.

[JeenLeen]

I hope to be more competent in the next game.

[flat_footed]

Yeah, the wolves definitely made this harder on themselves than it was intended. Even so, Xi and I almost pulled through for you in the end. If BoP didn't have the night kill, I would have helped her pick off town so my inheritance was that much more.

[Xihirli]

It was pretty close.
