OC Circus Maximus and the Temple Mafia of Doom - Game Over, Town Relics Win!

ok so you hammered me. good job. you voted out another utility player, further cementing the lead that comedy mafia has.

I told LonelyNess like right after the night ended that I was poisoned with the bubonic plague. He knew I'd be dying soon if he didn't provide me a cure. The fact that he still chose to vote me out is one indicator that he does not have the village's best interests at heart. I didn't tell anyone else about this poison, because I am fine eating this vote if I was about to die anyways.

Additionally, the Comedy mafia STILL has not contacted any of us. Clearly they are confident in their abilities and information if they do not need to work together with the other mafia. I wonder why...

Yes the town crier announcement was us today. We simply wanted to sow distrust in LonelyNess by proving that its possible to fake this. We could not continue the way the game was going because if the Comedy Mafia controls the votes, they will obviously prefer to vote out us before they vote out their own.

Additionally, LonelyNess' theory that we didn't know he would get a fail message is obviously ridiculous. We asked Yeti on July first about fail messages and LN's supposed role. Plus, fail messages are always a thing in every mafia I've played in. We had no clue LonelyNess would fail. We intended for there to be multiple messages up there, which would confuse everyone.

I highly doubt 6 people went to Somnath if only 3 were told to. LonelyNess just chose not to use his announcer ability in favor of using something else in his team's pool of roles.

Its plainly obvious to us that LonelyNess is a member of the Comedy Mafia team.

If you have any more questions for me, please ask before yeti updates because otherwise you won't have the chance.
 
Hammer.

Some guy tells you to stuff all the votes onto Radiata Lionfish, which you obediently do. zorbees claims he is indeed a Utility Player and asks you all to consider things a little more carefully.

Dear zorbees
You are a Typewriter.

Alias: Radiata Lionfish

Once upon a time, the fastest fingers in the world went clack-clack-clack across your keyboards, spitting out physical pages of text that they BETTER NOT have made a mistake on. And then came computers with their keyboards, and word processing software. And now, the kids don’t even know how to open file folders to find Word.

Each night, you may use one of the Utility Players’ pooled abilities. As a team, you may assign a role to each member. Each role may only be used once a night. Any ability-checking abilities will receive the ability the mafia member performed that night.

Each night, beginning on N1 if you choose, you may designate one member to perform your factional kill. You may send “NX - Kill ALIAS” to the host. If ALIAS is outside a temple and not otherwise protected, they will die.

Each day, beginning on D2 if you choose, if your factional kill did not succeed at night, your team may send “DX - Destroy TEMPLE” to the host. TEMPLE will be destroyed, killing everyone in it, after taking the prior night’s protective abilities into account.

Each night, you must send “NX - Visit TEMPLE” to the host. You may include any other conditions for entry you like. If you are visiting a probability temple, please include a number from 1-100. If you are visiting an adventure temple, be aware you will need to complete the activity during the day.

Your safeclaim is: The Terracotta Army.

You are allied with the Utility Players. You win if the Town Relics and the Proper Comedic Timing Relics are eliminated while at least one Utility Player is still alive.

Well, it seems his use has indeed come to an end.

Again, though, one of you is missing. How strange! You all set out on a search party for AngryPidgeon, hoping to find where he has gone.

You look far and wide, until someone finally shouts that they have found him!

Or what's left of him, anyway.

Oreni Tilefish's remains are discovered out behind a temple, where he has been mauled to death by a jaguar. How unfortunate.

Dear AngryPidgeon
You are a Clam.

Once upon a time, you were a hilarious one-liner. And then people began quoting you. And using you. Over and over again. You were written into every script. And then, like seafood forgotten in the fridge, you began to stink…

How interesting! You've been curious to see one of these.

Finally, you expectantly wait to hear the sizzle of ignited TNT, the fuse counting down. The sound, once you pick up on it, leads you to Genoa Cathedral, which quickly goes up in a cartoonish KABOOM!

There was one occupant, poor NightEmerald, who was exploring the bell tower. Titan Triggerfish falls from the rafters, his body splatting onto the rubble.

Once upon a time, people who lived in hot and humid climates and covered every square inch of their body except their face would overheat quite frequently, necessitating a soft place to land. This often happened when their countenance failed them, because everyone knows those Southern belles’ minds were so fragile they couldn’t handle seeing a spider. Kinda weird how everyone just stopped fainting in the 1900s.

It seems it was a very good day for the Town Relics.

Results of adventures going out now.

It is now Night Three. N3 will end at 5pm PDT 7/8.
 
Hey Utility players with the announce - based on what zorbees is saying, it seems like you guys have an announcement that appears the same way that the town crier stuff did, which is obviously concerning. I have no desire to let a comedy player run us. Can you use that announcement tonight and say something in it that proves it's from Utility? Would prove that this ability is factional as you're claiming.
 
Night Three concludes.

Are you expecting deaths? Because the kill feed is looking a little sparse, once again.

The letter-writer is back, again hoping you can offer them advice:
Dear Darling Darla,

Long time reader, first time writer. I've always been fascinated by the stories told and questions asked through your column, often wondering who is on the other side of these names. Who knows, maybe I could be reading something submitted by someone I know without ever realizing it!

I recently got fired from my job for misplacing some company documents, and now no one from work will talk to me anymore. And then I noticed it as I grabbed a beer from the fridge, just sitting there next to the steak sauce. A simple jar of Ragu tomato sauce. Of course! It all seemed to fit so perfectly. I could finally see the puzzle pieces come together. It was all my wife's fault! When she came home from the store, I confronted her with the false pasta topping in hand. Even as my own blood stained the wall as the glass shattered, she played dumb and frightened. Through crocodile tears she feigned ignorance and ran to her mother's with the kids. I never knew I was married to someone who could rival Shirley MacLaine for the Oscar and the most deranged psychopath for a place on death row.

So to my question, how do I effectively clean up tomato blood?

Sincerely,
Bloody Married

Ring, ring. A bell tolls in the town center, beckoning you to gather round. You come together to hear the proclamation for the day:
As my eyes saw it last night, in this year of our Lord 2024, the masses assembled included the following fealties:
Town Relic
Proper Comedic Timing Relic

A very lengthy parchment scroll flutters down from somewhere as well:
From the desk of the late NightEmerald, may he rest in peace:

Hello everyone!

I have another story for you today.

It's not as long as yesterday's was, but it's no less compelling.

On d1, I received a claim from a user indicating that they were an Odd night hooker. Which at the time seemed pretty in line with what expectations I had for the power level of the village roles, given the other role claims that I had been given from other villagers.

The following night we even had them hook a low power role and got confirmation that they had indeed attempted to hook that role, so boom role confirmed!

However, this despite this user having been claimed, presumably cleaned, and likely to be a villager, we had suspicions that not everything was kosher. This person was strangely obstinate when discussing the cleanliness of the village leadership, despite only having a single negative mark on its record. We certainly couldn't let such a loudly dissenting person into the village leadership themselves... it would create a rift that we just could not afford to have. Plus, not for nothing, but the loudest dissenters are typically mafia.

So we kept this person at arm's length, waiting to get confirmation that they were indeed mafia.

When finally we obtained a very powerful item from a temple on n2. The Dead Sea Scroll.

Dead Sea Scroll: This item allows you to view a complete targeting history for ALIAS, showing the nightly roster of people they have visited or used an ability on.

We decided to use this incredibly powerful item on the user in question and obtained some truly heinous information.

You have used the Dead Sea Scrolls. It is now gone.

ALIAS's target history:
N0: Temple of the Great Jaguar
N1: Silver Mono and Oreni Tilefish
N2: Somnath Temple
N3: Spotted Sweetlips and Pinnatus Batfish

It certainly is odd for an Odd Night Hooker to have targeted so many users and temples.

User Dead by Daylight

You stand accused of falsifying your targets, your role name, and your alliance. The evidence is clear. The proof is in the pudding. You are mafia.

Those visited by the Beatles, please let me know! I have sent a Beatle to each of the four remaining unknown aliases, anyone that does NOT message me tonight WILL be considered Mafia by mere process of elimination.

Look at this facism. Unbelievable.

That said, this "Dead Sea Scroll" business is a pretty big nail in the coffin.

After he flips mafia, I still won't trust the village leadership...
 
Now my mama always told me, she said
Mama said:
Son, you can forgive a man for a lot, cause you don't know how long and hard his journey or worn and torn his shoes.
Mama was a fair and caring woman who taught me a great deal about life and I try to stay true to her teachings, but for all else Mama would forgive, she wouldn't forgive a liar. She'd say
Mama said:

So it seems with a heavy heart I say, I don't see no rain today DBD.
