MAFIA 63: THE SCOURGE [HIDDEN]

[Chaqa]

Scans in order with breadcrumb message linked. The message was the first post after the night phase except for D3 where I messed up:

• Ghug
• Flum
• Chaqa
• EMC
• Celaph

I'm curious if anyone can figure out how I encoded each person and their alignment.

Also as a bonus, here's the reason I was scared of getting killed all game:

Hardclaim cop with an inno on Aaro

get off me

This sounds like a scum about to die and trying to bait out the real cop?

Am I crazy or do these not link to anything at all about scans?

[aarodactyl]

Wait no this means I suck too

You've been having a lot of bad reads. It's been funny to watch.

Buuuuuuut you're so sure I'm town you didn't even check me!!!!

I think you looked more town than EMC and celaph.

It's encoded. I was wondering if anyone would try to figure it out. No one has tried though.

Take the number of character. If odd, I had a guilty scan. If even, it was inno. Take the number of words and index into the alphabetical list of players that tom gave us to get the target. If I got roleblocked, I was just going to encode myself as inno.

I think I called scum odd at one point and I also used the alphabetical list of players even though people were dead. I was going to use it more often to crumb that, but I got lazy and making a read list as cop seemed hard

No, but the posts itself that get linked to don't make any sense:

Ghug:

My notes for DemonRHK was "new" and I had no read on them

Flum:

I thought Vecna was scummy but I guess I'm wrong. Sorry?

Chaqa:

I guess that means HB isn't cop?

EMC:

Lol. I guess bunny scared the scum team with his hypo scans.

Celaph:

scum are worse than random guessing.

They don't mention the person at all.

[Chaqa]

Like, how are these at all posts that link to the scan result corresponding to a certain person?

[President Eden]

Wait he flattered me and then died and I talked shit, I suck

Sorry Bozo. But you claimed doc. That's really too much to be town.

[President Eden]

Like, how are these at all posts that link to the scan result corresponding to a certain person?

They aren't. They weren't meant for us to find if he died. They were meant to verify that he was the Cop if the claim came under suspicion.

First post was 13 words and 57 character. Ghug was the 13th player alphabetically and 57 characters is odd so scum.

You can do the same thing for the rest

Yeah, but they don't really do that. Like... at all.

He didn't say who he was scanning. I believe he's cop, but those are some absolutely terrible crumbs.

I think you get how the code itself works but in case not:

For example, the first post, about DemonRHK, has 57 characters counting spaces (and 45 without - I was about to get worried aaro!) and 13 words. So odd number of characters = guilty, and the 13th player in the player list in Tom's OP is ghug. ghug is guilty.

Ahhhh. Alright.

Yeah tbh, those things don't verify anything. Those are pretty weak aaro lmao.

But vote end Chaqa.

No but they do, once you have the cipher.

Number of characters determines guilt or innocence
Number of words determines which player

[President Eden]

These are excellent crumbs y'all are insane.

The fact that they explicitly don't talk about anyone being scanned is GOOD for the purpose employed - no one had a clue aaro was Cop, but the instant he claims and tells you how they work you know there's no way he did this to set up a fakeclaim.

DAY HAS ENDED PLEASE HOLD

Yeah tbh, those things don't verify anything. Those are pretty weak aaro lmao.

Chapter 10

Jess smiled as she walked back to the Settlement, the entrance to the Scourge hive caved in kilometers behind her. She had embarked on what could have been a suicide mission, and while she had not found a way to defeat the Scourge, they knew so much more than they had just days ago. The geyser in the hive had enough energy to fuel their entire settlement.

She looked back at what was left of 7th Regiment. She said a prayer for those that had been lost, but was amazed by how many had endured. They had won this battle, but the war was yet to come.


BOZOTHECLOWN HAS DIED. They were a Scourge Beast, MAFIA GOON
