poisoned evil athiest?

your widow poison didn’t take effect until the end of night 3
we had a full 20 hours of legal atheist time on our hands

fair enough

Atlas explained they were thinking about Philo’ing into the Sweetheart.

As Bellatrix explained it, while the Sweetheart’s ability, as an outsider, would be used to hinder Town, a Philo Sweetheart’s ability would be used to help town.

Were there any mechanically indicators leaning towards Mist instead of Marluna we missed, by the way? I thought it was left to social interpretation at the end.

(Other than the Atheist thing, you’re claiming that didn’t influence the results.)

i mean the big thing was you just completely ignoring jake on d4

because if that info gets taken seriously it probably unravels the entire game

Would you believe a slanking traveller claiming a Widow’s call when it’s not on the script, when the Pit Hag was believed to be dead and nobody claimed Atheist?

The illusion of transparency is very much a thing.

honestly we didn’t have that much influence over the mechanical side of the game besides atheist
i think marluna no dashii was a valid world and the evil team did a good job of making that still valid with the information they claimed

the largest half-mech half-social thing you missed is that
if marluna is actually the demon going into f4, it doesn’t make much sense for her to reject wazza’s invitation when she would absolutely never with what she’s claiming as good
she never whispered wazza and wouldn’t know her alignment
it’d be much more logical for her to gamble on wazza being evil and confirming her

and it also doesn’t make much sense to reject the offer explicitly to avoid a thunderdome
then lie about it to make the thunderdome anyways

If she accepted the invitation as No Dashii and Wazza was good, she’d see Marluna as the Demon and out her. There’s also technically a risk of death, so it did make sense to me why it’d be as such.

But that’s valid.

Exactly as I intended

another half-mech-half-social thing
the entire social case you built on mist!town could have been destroyed by math simply being a bluff

the fact that the demon gets bluffs seemed to have been glossed over there

It wasn’t that I refused the possibility, I simply didn’t think of it. Nobody did, because it shouldn’t have seemed possible.

Because… Eliza wasn’t defending herself at all, and therefore YBW couldn’t be evil. Or so it seemed.
