Perhaps we've been leaning too much on Mikal's lore mastery for theme insight. The theme could be less obvious -- True Rune holders vs Stars, etc

taking 7 business days for a post to send I'm just about ready to give up for tonight and check back in tomorrow

Barbarossa being Ascetic makes sense to me from this Sovereign Rune thing in his wiki page; Lepant being Ascetic does not, unless I'm missing something. It seems like an unnecessary addition to Leprechaun, especially given the other protective roles.


What I can't wrap my head around is, if this is a fake claim, why Thoth would consider putting it on the table.

Wryly
I have a question for y'all. Let's say one of us died right now, flipped Ascetic scum, and the day kept going, so you don't get a chance to test the other Ascetic claim before the next lynch. Would you vote the other claimed Ascetic out? If not, then why do you think Pie's claim counters mine?


Cuz I'm a fucking noob and I didn't know scum were ever given Ascetic. Even if scum did flip Ascetic, I would question if a mod would give both scum and town the same ability

Wryly

Apologies if this was asked bc I've already made you repeat yourself


What's the justification for the ascetic part of your role?

Wryly

Loading times are seriously disincentivizing me from reading back.


@Pie: ascetic + something or just ascetic?

Wryly

I mean, I remain confused. If your power simply redirects the NK, and "may or may not let you move non-NK abilities" (missed that) how does that amount to you knowing wylted did not kill Shining?

Wryly
Everyone needs to stfu and go one by one


NO U


But yeah I'm just gonna claim. I'm Sonya Shulen. I have a passive.

Wryly

Bro does Janitor have to be targeted at a player or not. Or does it work like the Wiki lays out.


If Janitor has to be targeted at a player then I don't get why there was no flip for Shining. It would've gone like


> scum NKs Mikal

> scum Janitors Mikal

> Thoth redirects NK to Shining

> Shining dies


Thoth's role as reported only redirects NK's, not powers.

From Mafia Wiki:


Each night, Janitor has the option to "clean" the mafia's nightkill. The Janitor must select either yes or no. If neither is selected by the time the night ends, it is defaulted to no. If yes is chosen, the role of the mafia's first nightkill that night will be hidden to all players.


So it's just a yes or no to the moderator, not a select-a-player thing

Wryly

Really wishing I had your proof that Mikal is clear right about now so I could know it's at least between Vader and Luna

Wryly

Is your protective role strong enough that Rex definitely absotively posilutely wouldn't put you, Vader, and Luna in the same game

Wryly

During the war, when Barbarossa was caught off guard by a volley of arrows, Kwanda used his own body as a shield to protect him.


Honestly this sounds like a better fit for bodyguard.

Wryly

What are we basing the Vader votes on? His activity has been pretty sporadic, don't have a good read

Wryly

On board with claiming atp. Other than Mikal's theme theorizing I dont feel like we've dug up much to go on.

Wryly
Realistically I probably would’ve wanted to kill Kohai for personal reasons and to avoid the boneheadedness.


Wryly

Will post my reads when I get home and will consider claiming as well.


I’ll say now that I can’t figure the theme split out, especially given my character. /whiteflame


Interesting. Would also like to talk more about this tonight

Wryly
Why do we not want them to know who the great generals are


So scum doesn't know who they can recruit


I guess the other approach is to get as many of the Great Generals declared as possible so if someone is recruited we know who to look at. I'd rather our energies be focused on finding OG scum though

For anyone seeking a quick catch-up for today's DP: Thoth discovered BoJack porn and wylted tried to sell me life-prolonging pony sperm he probably collected manually.
