who subbed into Silviu’s slot?

#1464

Arete, right?

Alright, I’ve come up with one. I’m gonna see if I can come up with any others and if they all mechanically make sense.

#1466

All whisper counts

Tan (neighbors GGhana + Arete/Silviu)

Silviu/Arete whispers: no non-neighbor whispers
I skipped Light because there are a LOT + it’s already included in the counts for everyone else

Gorta (neighbors Light + Magnus): no non-neighbor whispers

GGhana (neighbors PKR + Tan)

#1467

Intensify - Viceroy

Arete - Retrogradus

Tangled - Eclipse

PKR - Effigy

Magnus - Retrogradus

Intensify - Eclipse

these are just the few that came up to the top of my head. Can everyone check if these make sense mechanically?

#1468

@Magnus Have you played with Arete before by the way?

#1469

Because the past half hour has seemed very out of character for them

#1470

It felt like they wanted to waste my time with a screaming match rather than actually examine my alignment

#1471

Not that I recall off the top of my head, but I wouldn’t stake money off it. If I needed to guess, I’d say no.
Maybe we did that Chaos game a while ago together, but I don’t remember anything of it.

#1472

I’d ask Tan but I know that won’t end well

#1473

honestly the paranoid part of me is wondering if this is all actually some sort of dastardly plan to clear Whysper

#1474

Because their last night’s check doesn’t make sense. And they are hardly posting

But their interactions with Arete and Intensify are so uh

Fiery. It feels like they have to be town

#1475

Who would be in on the plan, then?

#1476

Intensify and Arete

#1477

But didn’t Tan also suggest a few points to clear Whysper? And there’s only three evils.

#1478

like I’m wondering if Arete is trying to hard defend Intensify to make them both look worse

#1479

No I mean, I’m wondering if the minions are “trying to bus” the demon

#1480

Because Arete and Intensify do look ridiculous. I can’t tell if they’re trying to make Whysper look clear and my paranoid brain is making me think this

#1481

impossible FMPoV, also it:

  • doesn’t explain how there were 2 deaths last night
  • requires a ton of misinformation (Gorta’s green on Tan, PKR’s red on you (this one is explained by Intensify Viceroy), Whysper’s green on me, Whysper’s red on cloned, cloned’s red on Whysper – I think it might be technically theoretically possible to get all of these simultaneously but I’m not actually sure)

you’ve also spent the past half an hour arguing that socially it makes no sense for Tan to be a minion

  • in this one the misinformation that needs to be explained is cloned’s red on Whysper, Whysper’s red on cloned, PKR’s red on you, I don’t think it has an explanation for all three of those
  • the N1 kill would also be super weird in this world (Magnus would have had to sink a kill or kill PKR for no reason, without coordinating with him)
#1482

I’ve had a game where I literally nominated my Demon in final 3, and pushed on them to be executed so they could become clear. And it worked.
