Science time!

You can power a clock using potatoes instead of batteries:

Someone should make a potato clock and report back on how it works.
I will make a real hot potato with some gunpowder and test it if I go to my parents house before this game ends

If I die, my potato will be thrown to DreamTrawler. That is unless my death is caused by the potato itself.

My final post of the night. Is full of text. Texty texty text y text. Gibberish even. For I don’t know when I’ll post it but I don’t want ppl knowing I had the yam otherwise known as a batata yesterday. I passed it on to the man with an ampersand no more tonight. Then I received this dratted hot potato. Assuming it doesn’t explode, I’m passing it on to the austrian named poop (kidding I love you, but the pun with your name is there). If he’s been flushed, then my second choice is the no longer flooded brazilian. Well that may be it for me. I’ll wait to post this screed of block of text as long as I can but we’re about to board and I have kids complaining so I may have to post this with time to spare before EON, so I don’t want them reading.

I stand reaffirmed in my believe that Dream is town; When I was at 4 votes and Paste was at 1 vote (from Will), Dream voted Paste. This was the beginning of my rescue arc. Without Dream, I would've been toast, or fry, or baked, but Dream voting ther for Paste saved us a misvote.

I don't give that much credibility into Will's vote, btw; Will is a heavy busser, and Dreams vote plus the later movement would've locked him into the pole position on that wagon. But a maf-will wouldn't blink in that situation anyway, so that point is mood. But I'll come back to Will later, because there is something quite particular.

Then, just after Dream votes Paste (again) at around 15 minutes before EoD, yavu quotes me and notes that my wagon looked extremely stable and switches his vote to Paste, a minute later followed by bo. From that, yavu's vote looks much more towny, bo more like he follows the mob. So vote changed from 4-2 to 3-3 to 2-4 withing two minutes. Hmm, bo could've kept voting me there and keep it at 3-3. However, Bunny chimes in 8 minutes before EoD and makes it 3-4 instead of 2-4, to see if anyone switches, I presume. But that doesn't happen and Bunny switches to Paste to work against any last second shenanigans, most likely.

So yeah, that looked like mafia was at least ready to sacrifice Paste here. That or mafia wasn't involved, which sounds ludicrous. That would mean, the remaining mafia would be RD and Chaqa, which could kinda work, but I don't think so. Maybe one of them is mafia, but both just feels too much as an outside chance to me. Not with Chaqa trying to get hot potatoes that much, and RD just parking his vote there. That team doesn't make really sense to me, I don't believe the mafia would all be that withdrawn from the game, like, bozo-Paste-Chaqa-RD, I'm pretty sure that's not the case, that feels like too plain of an answer.

So with that in regard, looking back at the EoD, Will and bo look the most as if they sacrificed a mafia member. Will with the early bus and lock in, would fit very well with how he played the game so far, fighting against targeted town and going against maf-bozo. As far as I remember, except me, all his reads were spot on, I think? This looks very likely from a point of too much information. And now he's going against bo, who at first looked quite fine to me, but bo mostly followed the wave, so definitely not as good as I first thought. The way Will goes against bo would fit so great in my theory that Will busses his whole team and gets credit for trying to save other town, but there is just one thing:

I don't think bo would let Will do this, beginning from Day one. Not with bozo on the team. That's just not what bo would let the game go on. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that's possible. So it can't be bozo-Paste-Will-bo. But the other ones don't fit too much into a team together either, so from that point, either Will or bo have to be mafia, I think.

So one of (bo or Will) plus one of (yav or RD or Chaqa), which gives us a total of 6 possible teams. With how yav and bo went away from me, I'd argue that that is the lowest possible teams of them, so more like 5 different teams. I think we need to sort this out tomorrow.

Hmm ... maybe I would give an extremely outside chance of yav with either RD or Chaqa, but that would again lead to a team that just fully sits back and does not really anything. And it wouldn't really make sense for maf-yav to change to Paste there, so no, I think yav can only be mafia with either bo or Will there. To make him and his maf partner look good if not me, but Paste gets flipped.


I still didn't have any hot potatoes until now (but maybe after tonight) (also my first target for the couch potato died so it went to my second target, but shhh about that for now. If I die and that person doesn't claim during the [late hours of that] day, consider the one with no vote mafia)

PLEASE HOLD

Please be patient as I work through sending all necessary PMs.

There are multiple ways in which players may be killed during this phase (and future ones). Flavor text is written solely for entertainment purposes and is not meant to indicate cause of death. If multiple players die during a single phase, you will not be told who died by what means.

Please do not post again until I post an unambiguous "YOU MAY POST" message.

PLEASE HOLD
