To the court I must say that little has changed in regards to yesterday's situation.

VOTE: no lynch

I understand that this may seem to be an act of tedium to some, but this is objectively the superior strategy in this situation. To continue the voting and accusation of others would be of severe risk - if we were to expose the doctor, there would be disastrous consequences and the system would break down.

Instead, this continued sequence of following the policeman ensures that we can continue to become closer to discovering the culprit without a risk of accusing our beloved doctor.

Again, this isn't just an alternative method, this is the objectively optimum series of actions to undertake. Any other theories are definitively worse and less likely to find our guilty party. Either our doctor is defeated and we have a considerably reduced pool with at least one member confirmed innocent (our policeman, as well as any innocent results that they retrieved).

I think at this point it has become clear that I am just rather randomly rambling on to surpass my target amount of discussion per post, and am also running out of actual things to discuss. I am now finalising my talking.

Hello my fellow Americans, let's go six for six.

VOTE: No Lynch

[kirroha]

I apologize to have to do this, but I have to reiterate that all

accidental

post restriction breaches are punishable by a three-strike rule, whereas all

deliberate

post restriction breaches are immediately punishable by a modkill as the latter counts as an attempt to make use of a loophole. Thus, while it is regrettable, Alchemist21 has been modkilled. I am really sorry this has to happen, but these post restriction breaks can be very exploitable otherwise.

Alchemist21,

Town Doctor/The Caretaker

, was modkilled Day 3 and turned into a

Neutral Survivor

.

Night 3 has fallen! Please get your actions in within (expired on 2017-02-20 17:00:49)

Seeking replacement for Davsto.

[kirroha]

Nahdia replaces Davsto.

[kirroha]

Who could have done something so horrible? You thought as you found the mangled body of DeathByMudkip, a friendly two-headed artist, on the ground. They shall never paint again.

DeathByMudkip,

Town Cop/The Artist

, was killed Night 3.

Day 4 has begun and will end in (expired on 2017-03-07 03:00:49).

With 4 alive, it is 3 to lynch and 2 to no lynch.

VOTE: No Lynch

Objection!

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, formally announcing our intention to not lynch via two votes immediately following the start of this day would be something of a crime in its own right. Let us not forget that Vaxkiller, a key witness in this case, is confirmed to be a member of the majority faction, otherwise known as "town". To put it in more pedestrian terms, the witness Vaxkiller is "clear". It logically follows that they will be killed tonight, giving us no further information we did not already possess. The prosecution is of the opinion that the witness ought to act as a key figure in this case. The witness will aid us in coming to our final decision as to who we will pronounce guilty of the crime of being assigned membership to the minority faction, commonly referred to as "scum".

The prosecution must ask that any and all persons who have voted No Lynch retract their vote at this time. As previously evidenced, it is in fact against all of our best interests and in the prosecution's opinion in contempt of the court itself.

Furthermore, let it be said that the prosecution has reviewed the case report as well as the transcript of the previous days court was in session. We are currently of the position that the guilty party is none other than the defendant, TheRealGin-N-Tonic, but we will hear arguments to the contrary.

I'm sick posting right now but I wild like Nadia or arch lynched today

[Nahdia]

Bloody hell this post restriction is exceptionally infuriating to maintain. Not only does the prosecution need to maintain proper courtroom decorum, but we have extensive list of specific restrictions placed upon us, topped off with a limitation forcing all of our posts to exceed at least 200 words in length. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you'll have to forgive us if we find these horrendous restrictions make it extremely difficult to be an active participant in courtroom proceedings. Anyway, the prosecution will now present our case, as has been requested by the defendant.

We have determined your guilt via simple process of elimination. Examination of the only other possible suspect in this case, mattblackguy, has lead us to the conclusion that he is in fact innocent on all counts! Witness testimony found in the court record displays what the prosecution feels is clear "town" motivation. Meanwhile, the defendant's testimonies have not exhibited this same trait. The prosecution rests its case.

Your honour, point of clarification. Would the witness please state for the record clearly and in no uncertain terms who is being referred to when the witness uses the pseudonym "arch". A cursory overview of the court record indicates no present parties with that listed as a known alias.

[Vaxkiller]

Geez, you are taking that post restriction to town. Too bad Im not really feeling town from you.

[TheRealGin-N-Tonic]

VOTE: Nahdia

[mattblackguy]

Hello my fellow Americans, I still believe Gin is town. Yup, I think he's town. I don't see scum motivation from him. I don't think Gin would accidentally hammer his scum partner on day 1. At least that's what all the people are telling me. Vaxkiller is also very, very confirmed Innocent. He's innocent. This leaves Nahdia as the only possible scum, and I don't understand Nahdia's case against Gin.

VOTE: Nahdia

[Vaxkiller]

I think its claim time BTW, everyone needs to claim I think. Their whole post restrictions and any utility. The PR's in this game make it next to impossible to get a read on anyone. I'm town reading Gin for the sheer tht giving mafia a post restrict of such a magnitude is an enormous town hindrance. His post where he slipped out of his PR seemed pretty genuine too.

[Vaxkiller]

Game is dead, no one wants to play
VOTE: Nadia to end

[Nahdia]

yeah sorry i was town. i kept wanting to post but it's seriously like a 15-25 minute commitment to get a single thought across just soooo much effort.

[mattblackguy]

I thought post restrictions were supposed to be fun little quirks, not something that makes it annoying and frustrating to play the game :/

[mattblackguy]

The only reason I play this game is to have fun, but most of the post restrictions seemed like they were trying to inhibit communication, and made the game a chore. I didn't have a post restriction, but I just felt bad for Nahdia, Gin, Alchemist, and Mudkip because they couldn't communicate with the heavy post restrictions that were placed on them.

[Nahdia]

i mean, my post restriction was a LOT of fun to type in. just... i found it so difficult to communicate anything poignant. i was reduced to really baseline thoughts and only very occasionally.
i wouldn't say i was frustrated with my restriction... it just ended up doing me in hardcore because it made the game so difficult.

[mattblackguy]

Yeah that's what I mean. I don't think a post restriction should stop you from conveying your thoughts. Yours wasn't the worst but Mudkip couldn't even post words. He was confined to using pictures and emojis. How can you play mafia like that?
