Anime Battle Arena (Animafia) - GAME OVER!!! Mafia wins the show!

[A Distant Demon]

To answer why I think I was redirected...the roll check I did didn't match the one I put in. I switched my check to someone else after I put it on Stoopid, but then at the end of the night, I got Stoopid's alignment and not the new target.

So it specifically told you "stoopid is *blank* (innocent I assume based on the lack of vote)" and not "your target is *blank*

or something like that I presume? And I also wanted to make sure it wasnt that you just didnt bold a PM, but looking at the rules again I guess that wasnt a thing lol.

Sorry to be asking so many questions, but if we can learn 2 roles today (cop and redirector) then the more info the better. . .and I just want to make sure you didnt make a mistake lol


Also. . .I guess it's host kill time for Alucard. RIP. Two people in one day. No offense, but I hope you're maf Alucard :/

 

[Wolfie557]

Will do so in a few hours. Need to discuss something in graveyard also sleep and it's tedious to do the host kill on my phone right now.

Until then, y'all should business as usual.

For the record, Stoopid came up as Mysterious, which makes me think he's a third party, but nonthreatening. And yeah, it mentioned him by name, hence the redirect/timestopper prediction.

Well, looks like we don't have a reviver either if there's already a graveyard...

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

We should've elected a mayor who could hire one.

Then again, this place doesn't even have a mayor.

Our town really sucks.

 

[Deleted member]

No Mayor or Reviver.....

I'd say "What's next, no Cop/Doctor?", but you already stated such roles exist.

Well, on the bright side, Shiny can't be responsible for lynching the Reviver again.

 

[Wolfie557]

Refresher: there were already 3 ghosts b4 Swamp died.
Means nothing but yh shouldn't have said it. Allows for infering just like you have done. Still new to hosting and apparently not saying anything Is harder than actually running the game XD.

Again means nothing.

I'm sure he'll find a way

You sure on trusting someone who has "mysterious" as their alignment? Unconventional alignments are obviously 3rd party. Though I guess Stoopid would come as "suspicious" if they were in fact threat...

The way I see it is this. If Stoopid were a threat, he'd need to be the cult leader, since he mentioned the dark force...but cult leaders thrive in secrecy. We wouldn't think one existed until he confirmed it.

Plus, mysterious doesn't necessarily mean malicious. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt because of what he said yesterday, but I definitely think he's third party.

This is fair, and as we saw yesterday it was just a coincidence with the hearing aids, so he hasn't done anything to warrant suspicion.

Plus mysterious does fit with the tone of a lot of anime characters so a trope like that isn't surprising.

With how complex this game is, we really need all the town help we can get

It would be pretty anti climatic but also kind of funny if he was mafia and just got host killed.

You know, I find it funny Swamp's role PM was so goddamn long, even having flavor, when mine is like, three sentences long

Still, a Cult Leader could definitely come up as mysterious.
Though given his character claim, he doesn't seem to be the cult leader.

Guess it's Follow the Cop then.
Whoever the Doctor is, please remain hidden.

So yesterday you start the lynch and you start it again today. Although Im on the receiving end this time.

I have Praline's role from last game. just without the redirect.

And just for the rest of townies, be careful who you role claim to. Opo already claimed the doctor outed themself when Opo doesnt have any confirmation of being town (although this hidden threat thing is intersting and I wonder how that factors in to you being a cop). I hope everyone isnt throwing their roles out willy nillly. That got Apollo killed last game

Actually Opo, how does this hidden threat factor into you being a cop? If we're going to fight this cult/serial killer/whatever we need info stat.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Whether Opo is trustworthy or not doesn't matter when you're not giving any reason to trust you and instead just complain about being lynched.

Not saying you should say who or what you are, but saying absolutely nothing that could help when the first lynch of the day is aimed at you gives me no reason to trust you.

EDIT: Then again... I'm kind of a hypocrite for saying that, considering the first day

IT MAKES ME SAD THAT SWAMP WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED NOW I AM INFURIATED. WE NEED A REVIVER IMMEDIATELY. I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW HIM WELL.

Wait Opossum is a policeman? Nice. Well, he may have a chance of lying. He did that to me in Swamp's mafia game.
One of the game's main aspects I feel is gaining trust. I like how it is always a mystery.

You did the same yesterday although without any role claims or anything like I did. There was more to the post than that one sentence

 

[Deleted member]

Opo has an obscure as **** character claim, that's what makes me believe him.

Also, unless anyone else claims Cop, I say we're good. And even if he's mafia, him knowing my role just makes me less of a target

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Yeah... I kinda realized that when I re-read it and edited it.

If that means anything then shiny is Shoya? I think that's the other kid's name in that movie.

It doesn't need to be a character from the same franchise, but that's still an interesting theory.

How would that work in the context of this game though?

Not sure. Is there a sequel or maybe the director of silent night did other films and that's why shiny says he was connected?

Shoya stole the hearing aids often in the film according to the summary, but swamp's death doesn't seem to imply the hearing aids are truly important, as no bonus for finding them if they were out there is listed.

Alternatively, Shiny is mafia and one of the other bullies but I kind of doubt that as it be a big flag, and the other bullies seem to take a back seat to Shoya in the film.

I don't know what it may truly mean, but that line is definitely something worth thinking about though as we go on though.

It could also just be Shiny being Shiny as well, with all the random stuff he says all the time...

But still, I agree that it's a very odd choice of words worth thinking about.

I'll be honest, Shiny was probably just being Shiny. . .not any kinds of hints

My role had an odd disclaimer. It said something along the lines of "however, something may alter your findings, in more ways than one." Basically, my first thought was the obvious godfather/miller type of stuff. But then I realized...cults. I think cultists that have been turned come up innocent.

So if the Mafia ends up being part of the cult... oh dear.

I guess you don't think the "altered findings" would explain how you got "mysterious" or redirected to stoopid last night?

I don't think the cult would be able to choose to redirect you 100% of the time. That sounds OP so it would have to be someone else redirecting, no?

So if the Mafia ends up being part of the cult... oh dear.

Well damn, sad to hear that Swampy is dead. I hope you enjoyed the PM I sent you last night hahahaha.

Opo is the cop then? That's interesting. I already though Stoopid was third party, but him getting up the mysterious aligment makes that an almost guarantee.

Yeah... I should have done more work during night time, I was lazy

I don't trust you one bit.

Spoiler: Long post

You are being more aggressive than usual, trying to assume a leadership role in the same vein Holder would. And whenever he does that, he's up to no good. So what makes you any different?

Once Uni claimed that there was some "greater threat", you claim that you also have mention of such a threat in your role.
But then you claim to be the Cop for basically no reason other than Uni saying something that could vaguely refer to the Cop's ability (but could also just as easily refer to simply poking around and asking questions).
Yet, why in the hell would the Cop know about some "greater threat"? Better yet, it seems odd that
And no, that "however, something may alter your findings, in more ways than one." story doesn't cut it for me.
It sounds more like some made up excuse. If the typical Miller/Godfather deal is to appear as the opposite faction on check yet doesn't get any special mention, why would a cult as you claim there to be? And in how many ways could that possibly alter your findings? You said "more ways than one." Well, hate to break it to ya, but changing a player's alignment is only one way your findings are being messed with.

Furthermore, you claim that something happened with your role and you got locked into Uni instead of who you supposedly attempted to change your target to, instantly pointing to some redirector or timestopper. Well, what point would either of those have?
No seriously. What would a redirector have to gain from locking your check to Uni, assuming they even knew you were the Cop?
And a timestopper? Ok. Based on what you said about one, we're supposed to believe that we have someone who is able to freeze night actions in place for the rest of the phase without any warning for the rest of us, and they just did so for no real reason? And you're the only one who is claiming that your role has been tampered with.

Yeah, no. I'm calling it as I see it.

I mean if you want to go down as the guy who lynched the cop be my guest. I'm merely tossing out ideas because I'm baffled by how my check seemingly locked onto Stoopid.

I have an aggressive Mafia playstyle. I like when things get done. When the town has more info, the town has more control. I question, instead, why your first instinct is to spring for the guy claiming to be the cop. If there were any doubt, I'd imagine the real cop would have chimed in by now, especially since the cop is a mandatory role to include on a sheer basis of balance. In fact...

What is your role, Golden? At least I have a claim out there now. And yet you are a bit of a blank space on my role list. Give me something to work with.

Really? I would imagine the real Cop would keep his mouth shut lest he want to make himself a target for the night.
And no, my first instinct is not to just "spring for the guy claiming to be the cop". My first instinct is to spring for the guy who has a very shaky claim while following in Holder's footsteps as an over-aggressive false leader.

Also loving how you literally have no legitimate counter to what I said. But if you must know.....I'm a bit of a wild card.

You may call me Zero.
If you ARE telling the truth, I can be your greatest ally in eliminating the Mafia and this "greater threat" (which I can already tell you this much from some "investigating" of my own is FAR worse than some simple cult; do NOT trust any of us that are revived....).

Or I can be your greatest enemy if you continue to test my patience.
Your call.

 

[Deleted member]

Guys, can we please not lynch the cop on the second day? Opo has already stated his playstyle is aggressive no matter what side he's on. If you want to lynch him, at least wait for someone else to claim Cop.


Regardless, I don't trust Stoopid for one bit. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to take chances with a "mysterious" 3rd party. No reason for us to gamble with a 3rd party when it's very likely they can mess up with the Town. Back to square one, I guess, but I'd like to take him down before I can regret it.

[Jojalole]

Well, this is certainly heating up... I feel so out of place right now.

If I can give my two cents... I think it's good that someone steps up, last game Zeb was the archor of the town for being the mayor and proving it day one, and even though I went full paranoid that night, having this central point means everyone have someone to rely on. Even then, Opo assumed the responsibilty and talked about his role info in plain day, thing I didn't do last game where I also was the cop. What happened last game after I decided to not tell what I got? The mafia got away and instead the reviver died, worst case scenario. I think it's a well taken risk, and that stupid threat above mafia is driving me mad, so any info we can get about it is appreciated.

You may call me Zero.

Well that definitely sounds like third party to me. Actually, my role might be useful with you. I'll approach you tonight, if that's okay.

There seems to be another 3rd party right above you that seems much more dangerous than Stoopid honestly. If he's telling the truth and he is the only reliable source of protecting us from the "mysterious threat", we'll also be ****ed if he dies.

~we have a special announcement to all viewers~

Prince Alucard has been finally tracked and and he has been Host-Killed.

Spoiler

Inventor - Hakase Shinonome

You are a child genius professor and have recently invented something last night. You spend your days trying to make new gadgets to help save the town! But only because the town has given you resources in the form of Shark Cookies so you can’t keep making gadgets forever!

• Use the Mega Ultra Sticky Glue once during the game to render targets vote useless during the day
• (night 1) *drumroll and trumpets* Tah-dah! It’s Red Ear Muffs that you can give to a player during any phase. This player will then give the ear muffs over to someone else at the start of the next phase if they have no use for them.
• You come up as town on alignment checks
• Alignment changes to suspicious once and as long as you possess any offensive inventions

Shinonome labs will continue working.

Any further inventions will be distributed at random through me according to the role. Whether or not something is given away is random when necessary. When this stops b4 everything is given is also random simulating a kill by a player.

It will clearly be stated it's through me. I'm taking control of my professors buisness. *Tries to hold tears*

As far as I know anything about Zero/Lelouch, he's the kind of guy who'll do anything to achieve his goals.
Though he seems more of the type to align himself with the town, because in Code Geass, he attempts to take down a tyrannical empire only to avenge his mother's death(well, at least initially).

So yeah, sounds more like a 3rd Party Vigilante and I'm willing to trust Golden based on that. Lelouch is no bigger threat and he's certainly not the leader of a cult.
