*Pokes topic* Anything going on?

There were only three people online when this post was made: me, Green and another person who isn't part of this game.  Therefore, I was able to figure out Green's forum identity.  Sorry

The snores of the group could be heard throughout the giant maze, bouncing off the marble walls. Though they did not know it, having no signs of the outside world, it was quite deep into the night. Snoring wasn't the only sound heard though, for Someone had awoken, making a large ruckus in their journey towards the table of food.

"What are you doing?" Green whispered, "Can you please quiet down and go back to bed?" They had been lying on their back and staring at the ceiling for a while at that point, and while the noise was not disrupting any sleep, they would much rather have had some quiet.

Someone span around suddenly, startled by both the voice and Green themself. They had picked up the kitchen knife used to cut meat and pointed it at Green.

"What's the matter with you? I was only asking that you quiet down!" Green sat up, staring at the person in the mask in front of them, silently creeping closer


They lunged at Green as they lept from the bed and scrambled out of the room, not even chancing to look back and see if the maniac was still following them.

If it was any other morning, the group would have woken up to the sun shining brightly in the sky, while others walked around their campuses in large scarves and mittens. But sadly, it was blindingly white marble walls whose "rays" woke the three.

Yellow sat on their bed, staring at the floor as they heard Orange finishing off the last of the food left on the table.

"Couldn't get much sleep, huh? Me either. I think sounds really echo in such a big area as this, don't you?" Orange grabbed a bowlful of salad and scarfed it down.

"Sure..." Yellow mumbled, then looked up "I see you are hungry. Any chance you can save some for me? One meal in nearly two days really isn't enough to live on."

Nodding, Orange handed them what seemed to be a thanksgiving feast.

"Oh, well thanks I guess." Yellow said, feeling oddly at ease.

That did not last long, as Yellow heard Purple's voice in the distance, calling out something that they couldn't fully understand. "Green, did you hear that?"  They said loudly, turning to where Green had laid down to sleep. "Oh no..."

Yellow and Orange rushed out the room towards Purple's voice, which they had realized had been yelling Green's name, but it did not take long to find what they were all looking for.

"Purple!" Yellow shouted shrilly, "We found Green..."

Purple barreled towards their voice, and was soon right in front of them. "Really? Are they okay?" They said, breathless and frantically looking around until they saw what had happened.

Lying  two strides away, there was Green themself. Frozen with their eyes wide, and their mouth open in horror. Green's mask was lying face down on the floor.

Night 2

Green Townie (Dead)

Two Mafia alive, One Doctor dead.

Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow, and Orange are the ones who can vote for Mafia this round.

I am sorry how bad and short this is.

[Anonymous]

Not bad at all Rosie! Only bad for me, because I am likely going to die in the next two rounds because I am now vastly out numbered. But that wasn't your fault, right?

rant about how I am not the mafia that probably doesn't help my case but I am putting in here anyway

Okay. So. I have made my case many times before. And most of you believed me then. And I was wrong. Very wrong. But now, I literally cannot fail because there are only two other people left alive and both have to be mafias. And I know this is something a mafia would say to get people off their back after killing a lot of innocents (I am not helping my case I'm sorry) (but actually in their own posts neither of them ever made truly strong arguments against anyone else, I was always one of the ones to start an argument, and they would agree because it wouldn't include one of them so it was easier to let it play out in their favor. Also, look back at their posts where either one was being questioned. Notice how neither one will willingly condemn the other. Clear sign of them not wanting to throw the other under the bus.) Now that I know the other two are mafias, reading the second half of that story made their deceivingly caring acts so much more nerve racking. I quote, "Yellow said, feeling oddly at ease." I have emotions. That aren't death or guilt. Also, the second half of the story is told more from my perspective, because only my feelings can be truly shown, since either of the other's thoughts would tip them off. Also, I quote, from previous story, " Yellow was not usually one to accuse someone of murder." I wouldn't even accuse someone, let alone actually commit it.

Also also, to quote a reliable source of a dead townie, Blue, " I do find it odd that neither Purple nor Orange were mentioned to have the same fear as both Myself, Red, Green, and Indigo. Hiding not only their emotions but also having them be rather agile and leaders which the rest trusted, makes them almost have the group in the palm of their hands."

Purple was only seen in this scene out, away from the scene of the crime, and away from prying eyes where they could compose themselves and return with a reasonable alibi and countenance that would not betray their intentions. They knew they couldn't be the first at the crime because that would start people pointing fingers. Only me really, since I am the only one with fingers left to point. (that sounds like something happened to everyone else's fingers ) They have been very stoic this entire time, and keeping to the sidelines of all of the events in the past to throw off suspicion. Emotionless.

Orange was only concerned about food, and was up and about long enough to have surely noticed Green's absence, and Purple's absence as well, especially since they are partners and would want to be keeping tabs on the other's whereabouts and well being to know that they can be relied on. Orange must have been in on the murder to not have said anything. I was barely waking up, still on my bed.

I don't care which one dies, just one of them. Both preferably, but that is not how this voting works. I am not going to put one over the other to show that I truly do not have any alliances with either, and just want the mafia dead like any townie would. plzdontkillme

Also sorry this post is really long,661 words to be exact I wanted to get everything out on the table and not miss anything major.

I also debated on whether to wait until someone else posts, but this will prove even more that I work alone.

The story is great Rosie

Yellow suggests that I might have killed Green.  I admit that the fact that I was away from the other two gave me a perfect opportunity to commit the crime.  However, if I had just killed someone, would I really be shouting their name?  Of course not.  I would try to remain as quiet as possible so I don't attract attention.  I don't know that Yellow and Orange are awake until they catch up with me.  For all I know, I could have just woken them up and given myself away.

The fact is simply that I woke up first, noticed Green's absence and went to search for them.  But I was too late to save them...

Yellow says in their post that they "felt oddly at ease", quoting the story.  I don't see how this proves their innocence.  Maybe they felt at ease simply because they were alone with their mafia partner.

I don't see how Yellow being the first to post indicates their innocence either.  In a few past games of mafia, the mafia posted first in an attempt at drawing suspicion towards someone else and, therefore, away from them.  The first person to be accused is often the one to get voted out.

I do admit that it's suspicious that Orange didn't notice my or Green's absence until after hearing me shout.  While Yellow didn't notice either, Orange had been up longer and had more opportunities to do so.  If they did notice our absence, they didn't seem too concerned, or in any hurry to tell Yellow.

There are only three people still alive now, and everyone maintains that they are innocent.  This means that both mafias will have to express suspicion towards their own partner.  Both me and Yellow accuses both other players, but only one of us three can be innocent.  And that one is me, with Yellow and Orange being the mafia.

Like Yellow said, we can only kill one person.  I guess, therefore, the ghost voters will have to vote for the one they believe the most likely to be mafia.  You shouldn't take only one member's word for who is innocent, since everyone says it's them.  Look at everyone's posts and see who looks the most suspicious.

Also, like I did with Green, I managed to figure out Yellow's forum identity.  Sorry

[Anonymous]

Nothing I say will change the minds of those who believe me to be a mafia, so therefore I will not make a case for my innocence, but let you decide for yourselves.

[Anonymous]

Honestly, I think Yellow said just about all there is about why Orange is the best bet here. I was gonna go further in depth like I have been earlier, but, well, my previous posts and Yellow's all speak for themselves. Thus, I'm going to vote Orange

[Anonymous]

*Thoughtful hum* I wasn't sure who to vote for, and went back over Rosie's post (as well as my fellow players' posts) multiple times carefully. Then I noticed an interesting bit in the story:
for Someone had awoken, making a large ruckus in their journey towards the table of food.

And then, later, we have this little tidbit:
Nodding, Orange handed them what seemed to be a thanksgiving feast.

Could Orange have been making the food when they got on my nerves? Very possible. This could mean one of two things: Either Orange is Mafia, and really hungry, or Orange is a fellow Townie, and still very hungry. Either way Orange is hungry and now I am too. What do ghosts eat, I wonder?

Anyway, back to my point.
I don't remember Blue and Yellow's previous posts about Orange and, frankly, I'm too lazy to look right now. I do find the way that they're neither confirming nor denying being Mafia, or trying to defend themselves, interesting, though.

I'm going to go with Orange

[Anonymous]

Not sure why Orange didn't even try to defend themselves.  In past games, I've seen something like this in two circumstances:
1: they're mafia and they know they're doomed.
2: they lost interest in the game and hope to be killed off/voted out.
Might be a mixture of both here.

I vote for Orange.  With Blue and Green also voting for them, a majority has been achieved.

At this point it doesn't matter but I will vote for Purple.
