I might be jumping to conclusions, but does anyone really dispute that those three players are the POE as of now?
You’re confirmed. Lunatic is confirmed. I’m an un CC’d doc (like not even any other NK-preventing roles are claimed) that Lunatic saw self-protect so I’d call myself confirmed. Wylted is so townie that I could build a house and raise a family on his behavior.

So no, you are not jumping to conclusions.

I still townread him behaviorally based on the previous DP - the whole CC back-and-forth with WyIted would have to have been an impressive misdirect.
It’s only an impressive misdirect if it’s on Wylted’s part, given he was the one who got confused. All Austin had to do was defend his claim.

Seriously how did we let ourselves believe he was doing some crazy gambit. No dreamer on earth is going to pull that crap; they’re gonna do what Joebob did and hang back, say the bare minimum until time runs low or they’re really confident on a read, and avoid claiming at all costs.

Literally everything we do in the game of mafia is speculation. It’s just aided by behavioral and mechanical reads. 

I know Casey is a new mod… but no mod, not even a new one, is going to put darn near the same role in the game twice on the same faction. They are both roles that are used in the night and give town limited results so that they have a nudge in the right direction but still need to read people. They both are useful when paired with a watcher that can further the investigation. The only difference is that one of them is confirmed, and the other was said by the guy who said “I’m the deuteragonist! It can’t be me!” … in the game where major characters in the theme can be outright missing and and asked about by scum.

The appeals to a new mod aren’t even relevant since Pie helped design this game. By the way, I could go through every DART game in the archives and I wouldn’t find a single one where two roles this similar were on the same team.

And sure, we don’t automatically have a ninja, but it’s a reasonable assumption given we have a tracker. Regardless, disturbed dreams are irrelevant if there’s no dreamer to begin with. I’m telling y’all. The previously solid looks of the mechanical side of things don’t match the behavior; not even Austin’s defenders can deny it. Now that the mechanical side of things is busted, a case for townie Austin has no legs to stand on.

Anyway, I was hoping I’d figure out who the teammate was but they’re both defending him. I guess I’ll give points to Whiteflame because his defense at least understood that the obvious truth might actually be truth. And he could have CC’d me but didn’t. Earth’s Godot claim is interesting and all, but he’s been hanging back all game long (something I remember him doing in Ozark Mafia) and the quick pushback on one of the most obvious scumreads of the year is suspicious. I’m not 100% sold but I’m a good 75% confident Earth is the teammate.

Teammate is Earth or Whiteflame in my eyes. Austin is confirmed scum as far as I’m concerned. Compelling argument for either.

Please waive on your ability for the rest of the game. That way, it can’t be redirected.

Mhar said "figure out" not lynch. Saying "hey ignore that elephant in the room while we go on that wild goose chase isn't exactly what I have in mind, scum hunting wise.

I mean I guess that’s fair that we can talk about it more but our lynch should be Austin today.

I think there’s a ninja because of Lunatic’s role.

Also, Lunatic literally said he saw me visit myself.

We can figure out Whiteflame later. Austin is 100% scum and I think my reasons are bulletproof. Especially reason #1.

Oh, thought of another one

4. So there’s obviously a ninja. And a redirector. That doesn’t leave anyone left who could disturb Austin’s sleep. We know the redirector used their abilities, so the Ninja probably Nk’d JoeBob.

VTL Austin

I’m about to type a whole ‘nother one explaining why.

I’ll leave a tldr for Lunatic bc I feel bad about making him wait super long while my ocd ass types

1. Joebob’s role is basically the same thing as what Austin claimed, except it works with doctors and other irrelevant things
2. Doctor doesn’t work with Dreamer and I’m a dumbass for forgetting about how dreamers can be disturbed earlier
3. His behavior still sucks now that I think about it. He literally posted something like “look at me! I have this role and the matching character is the deuteragonist! No way I could be scum!”, then got busted for lying, then invented a fake gambit to cover his ass and get town cred because town was wondering if he was gambiting anyway

@Lunatic
So you watched me. You are town confirmed because I did visit myself. I was wondering if you investigated Whiteflame and ended up getting the result of your own affiliation because there of a bus driver instead of a redirector.

First off, I don’t know how you think he is being painted in a negative light in the article. You saw two things that gave you a feeling that aligned with your read on me and cherry picked them to fit your confirmation bias. I don’t know how you think a wiki article on the main protagonist of the whole series would paint him in a negative light. I just read and so thought most of it paints Phoenix in a positive light. Ace Attorney characters are very nuanced, which is something I noticed while researching Edgeworth as a redirector. Edgeworth has some good traits, but he is well-known for manipulating evidence that he became known as the “demon prosecutor.”

However, I will full claim: Doctor.

I visited myself because I thought I would be the NK. In the night, I believed firmly that Savant was scum after my read and Owen’s innocent flip after he claimed Innocent Child, which I thought conflicted with Savant’s magistrate claim (they were two roles that could save townies from mislynches, one by confirmation and by outright prevention)… which I felt left Austin as town. I felt the scum team would be stupid to go after Austin because it would give town info on what he was doing specifically (if Austin was town, another weird gambit or layer to his gambit was not out of the question).

Therefore, I concluded their best move was to roleblock him and look for someone else to kill. I thought about protecting Lunatic because of his refusal to claim in the DP, but I rejected that idea because I didn’t think he was an investigative role, given that I believed Austin’s claim of dreamer at the time. Therefore, I didn’t believe the scum team would think Lunatic was an investigative role either. So I knew the scum team would be looking for other PRs, at which point I believed I was going to be the target. Thankfully, Casey, despite being very secretive at the time, did say I could protect myself, so I did that believing the scum team would find my breadcrumbs.

Looking back, I definitely misevaluated that, because my crumbs might have been too well hidden for mafia, and they were based on faulty reasoning on my part. In DP1, I was making a huge point of saying I liked Austin from a mechanical standpoint. I even said that his role and character work way too well “especially from my perspective.” I forgot that dreamer can be disturbed (until someone mentioned it later in the DP) so when I saw Austin’s claim, I thought, “ok, perfect.” I then thought that I, as Phoenix Wright, was supposed to protect/defend Maya Fey, as is what happened in lore. I realize that I was incorrect now, but only now because my dumbass during the DP and NP didn’t even think about how dreamer being able to be disturbed would impact my mechanical read on Austin (after someone mentioned dreamer could be disturbed).

My justification for being doctor was that time and time again, Wright has saved others from guilty verdicts, sometimes the death penalty, as a defense attorney. This is also part of the reason I scumread Savant’s claim so heavily. I misread the justification he posted and thought it conflicted with mine, and there was no way Casey would use the same justification twice. I thought Savant’s claim said Athena saved people, when it really said she vowed to do so, which is different. I was so confident on Savant being scum that by the time this DP started, I read Joebob was killed, and assumed that was all I needed to read before voting on Savant. I completely did not notice Whiteflame was protected today until minutes later.

My thoughts too. He’s been giving the bare minimum, and was afraid to hammer on low time last DP. In COC endgame he said he needed to adjust to how town would latch onto to someone. He may have been scared to hammer because he saw Casey get cussed immediately for hopping on Pie’s wagon so late last game

I am irritated by how much you are playing the “interesting, but I don’t wanna commit to the hard accusation” game

Keep in mind that with Savant being town, I need to reexamine all my reads again and my only real town read now is Wylted

With that being said, I’ll character claim if you do

Ok so I said to Casey that her secretiveness was bullshit in a PM and while I was ranting about it to Lunatic she said “sorry it’s my first game as mod” and decided that she would answer that one question

Someone who was given strength in the night would not be notified of it

@Lunatic
It's interesting only because if you were the redirector you would have already been able to ask the mod that question and thus would already know
Ask the mod about what? The strengthener, in which case if I was redirector I wouldn’t be told shit?

Because for some godforsaken reason Casey won’t even answer any hypotheticals about how a role would operate if it were to be in the game, unless it’s your specific role.

Minutes ago I asked her if a strengthened player would be notified of their new strength in the night… all I got was “I can’t reveal that information because it might tell you something about a role that may or may not be in the game that isn’t your own blah blah blah”

I think it’s more fair to town (and really all players) if everyone would know how a role would work if it were to be in the game (mods can answer these questions without confirming the role is in the game, just saying Casey), but hey, what the hell do I know

I trusted what the wiki said. I suppose mods can differ but I wasn’t thinking about that; I trusted the wiki. How many mods do that anyway? Tbf I think I’ve seen you do that (i don’t really remember), but I think most mods are gonna look up how a role works on the MU or MS wiki and just use whatever’s there. But sure, very interesting post from me, Kramnik style
