Ah! My promise!

[Realeo]

So Creature put Pepto at L-1.

NJAC unvoted.

UNVOTE:

Let me do some maths...

Then he throws a math theater..

Here are the current 21 possible scumpairs (from my POV considering 7 players: N_M, Realeo, Infinity, Pepto, Creature, Vedith and Titus):



If I take in consideration my current reads it's something like this (green = at least one town read; orange = one null read + one scum read; red = both scum reads; white = undecided):

Prompt the town for input and only re-vote in 60 hours.

If NJAC throw the math theater and re-vote, that's scummy. But letting the discussion evolves is towny.

I approve town!NJAC.

Someone explain me town!Creature.

[Realeo]

If NJAC throw the math theater and re-vote

instantly

, that's scummy. But letting the discussion evolves is towny.

I'll check out context for that and ISO creature in a few hours.

[Realeo]

Scum is in {Creature,infinity,N_M}

[Realeo]

I want Creature to be solved before Titus makes a move.

[Creature]

Still there.

In the past, there'd been long discussions about how to configure the maze, what order to do things in. Perhaps that might have been expected again, but with only two people left, an agreement didn't take long. Titus had got here through the cave she'd built. Now, Infinity 324 wanted to move onwards through the terrain that he knew. And they wanted to get going early this time; the fading winter light meant that daylight was scarce, and nights were boring.

That said, it was good that they set off early, because this time reconfiguring the maze was more than just a job of pulling a few levers and turning a few dials. Moving entire sections of the maze, although they'd needed to do it on occasion, was difficult and expensive. So, when possible, the puzzle of the maze as a whole – separate from that of the individual sections – had been implemented in an easier way. In this case, via pumping large volumes of water, most likely with something added to prevent parts in the maze being skippable just via swimming through them; poison, crocodiles, mines, something like that. Moving a section's worth of water from place to place through relatively narrow pipes was slow, though, and wore its way through much of the morning, with Titus' cave flooding behind them, and the road ahead starting to slowly clear. Eventually, there was enough room to move on, even if they had to climb on the walls to do so. There were handholds; they'd got bored testing the thing, too.

As they left the receding floods of the corridor, Infinity 324's section opened up ahead of them. It consisted of a large lake, unlikely to lose much height despite its water being used to power the maze. On the reservoir floated a ship, small in comparison to the typical ship, but nonetheless larger than Titus was expecting. Infinity 324 had constructed it elsewhere, then sailed it in on a temporary canal; the logistics of working inside the maze had been fairly awful, and this method had allowed him to avoid worrying about whether an attempted delivery would be defeated by a spiked pit or a cloud of noxious gas.

It was clear that going through the water directly was a bad idea. Although Titus had never seen the area before, she recognised that it was being used to power the maze's mechanisms, and all the builders knew it would have to be guarded. So the only way forwards was via the ship itself. Of course, simply navigating the deck was a puzzle in its own right, but there was a limit to how dangerous Infinity 324 could make that; you can't guarantee that precisely honed traps are defeatable on a floating, moving platform, so they necessarily have to give some room for error. The bigger choice was in how to use the ship to cross the water. It was firmly moored with chains to the bank, but they weren't locked in place, only knotted. So the ship itself could form a means of transport; but it takes quite some nerve to take a voyage in a vessel you

know

is a deathtrap. Alternatively, there were liferafts stored aboard, in the usual places; they'd also float well enough to paddle across. But something that flimsy on a lake of death seemed like a recipe for trouble too.

Of course, Infinity 324 already knew the solution, and he rapidly took on a role as the captain of the ship. Screw the liferafts; it was time to set sail. They dropped a rope ladder over the stern of the ship, so that when it was unmoored, they could climb up without risking it drifting away from them and leaving them stranded; and then got to work on the links of the mooring chain, leaving the ship free to move.

Once they'd clambered aboard and were starting to drift, Infinity 324 started to head down to the forecastle, ready to navigate across. Titus could follow him, but she couldn't help but linger near the liferafts, which were temptingly accessible right now. Would she trust Infinity to pick the right path? Or was it worth taking matters into her own hands and striking out by herself?

Not_Mafia has been prodded.

[NJAC]

Best move at this point is Titus distrusting. If Infinity turns out to be town, he can still win us the game.

[callforjudgement]

Gamma Emerald replaces Not_Mafia. (Sorting out the paperwork for that now.)

[Infinity 324]

^ oh thank god

[Gamma Emerald]

Howdy.
I'll try to read up. Anything in particular you recommend?

[Creature]

Get a read on Infinity 324 asap.

[Creature]

We can have Titus distrust, but if Infinity is town, then we'll have to find scum in {me, Realeo, NJAC, you}

[Gamma Emerald]

I'm going to analyze Pepto's posts first, see if he tries to steer town a certain way.

[Gamma Emerald]

I've got almost nothing from him.

[Gamma Emerald]

Hm, I'm not sure yet because Infinity's ISO is huge, but I'm thinking NJAC may be the last mafia.
