Blank Canvas Mafia Game Thread

Want to be rereading Keldeo like I have been meaning to since day one but that's a lot of posts and let's be realistic I am not about to galaxy-brain vote Keldeo today and my brain is dead.

Agreed that DarkAura's speculation is probably not super alignment-indicative for her. I don't quite know what to make of the 2/1 canvases thing; those blues are indeed very close together and I can buy that that probably means they're the same person, but the others don't look super alike. Giving a mafia doodler one canvas and all the townies two sounds like kind of a counterintuitive choice, but I'm not totally sure what else would be going on with that (I guess it might be effectively random depending on how many pieces the canvas is and how many doodlers there are at a given point in the game, which thinking about it probably makes sense since there's no guarantee on the number of doodlers at any point after day 1 anyway?). It does generally implicate Dodge if his claim doesn't totally match up to others who claim the same role, but I don't have a huge amount of confidence in that when there's a lot that's mysterious and unexplained about the setup.

On the other hand, I'm still not really liking Dodge's posting and continue to find his vibes suspicious. One reason I parked my vote on him was again to see what happened, and not much did initially, but then MF did crop up to restart a wagon on me, and then kyeugh started up missingno? as another alternative. Is that mafia partners trying to save him? Hard to say. I don't really want to make the same mistake as yesterday with getting carried away with premature associations, but all in all the science there feels inconclusive.

Meanwhile, I don't really like missingno?'s vote yesterday or the extensive mechanical speculation used to justify very specific suspicions, and the swapping of Keldeo and Mawile doesn't feel like a super towny move to me, and the supposed justification of protecting Keldeo in particular feels pretty post-hoc and convoluted so it's hard to totally buy it. It is easy as a new player to get caught up in mechanical speculation, and to want to see what happens with a funny action like this, but all in all it's not making me feel better about him.

I'm not a huge fan of xrunner48's refusal to have any thoughts on anything but will reluctantly put that aside for today even though I also think it would be wild to give it a total pass and really hope to hear more out of him tomorrrow.

I feel generally good about Ever and kyeugh's posting today (with some wariness about kyeugh stepping up for Dodge if Dodge were to resolve mafia), but have not done a close reread. I'm still not totally sure how I feel about MF, worse than yesterday but I think I would need to stare at her reasoning more to be sure.

All in all I'm between Dodge and missingno? for today. Still tempted to resolve Dodge because of the vibes which are haunting me so I think I'm prooobably keeping my vote there but I wouldn't object to a missingno? elimination.

I don't remember if I already said this but yeah. I would expect a mafia doodler to have more pieces than a town doodler if anything because there are fewer of them.
 
Day 2 Votecount:

Dodge - 2
(Butterfree, DarkAura)
Butterfree - 1 (MF the ISOable)
DarkAura - 1 (Eifie)
missingno? - 1 (kyeugh)
xrunner48 - 1 (Keldeo)

not voting - 4 (Dodge, Ever, missingno?, xrunner48)

Let me know if I missed your vote!

There are 8 hours until EOD.
I think after this Dodge and missingno voted each other, so it would be Dodge 3, missingno 2, everything else unchanged. did I miss anything?
 
If I'm voted off the island OR murdered, I would like someone to please put 'delight to have in class, needs to apply himself more' to my reportcard pleaseee

Thank you Eifie, I think that looks right!

I'm locking in a missingno? vote to bring us to a 3v3 I believe. I'm leaning more toward missingno? but am eyebrow raise at Dodge too, so I'm okay with a coinflip between them.
 
Wait lol I forgot deadline isn't for an hour... I'm in a different time zone right now

Anyway unvote, I think both have scum equity, idk.
 
hmmm I think you're right Keldeo that bus driving is possibly the absolute least effective way of getting more information of how the canvas works because it just makes everything more confusing. @missingno? did you already say why you chose swapping in particular as what to draw?
i have been ignored 😔

And I am looking away,

NO BUT SORRY ABOUT THAT I think I killed the notif when I clicked through to see newest thread updates.

1. What is bus-riding?
2. First thing that came to mind, tbh! And then, I think I was expecting or hoping for some degree of in-text feedback of What The Canvas Did in the Post-Night-Summary, based off of fuzzy old, old memories of a forum game I played way back when, so I didn't realize it would be that inefficient at the time of doodling. (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

Once again, I'm starting to realize I'm prone to leaps of logic.

sorry, bus driver is a common name for the role that swaps people

hmm... i gotta think about that because i gotta say it doesn't make much sense to me, which maybe you would want to make up a more sensible answer at this point as mafia considering i can just move my vote, but maybe you just don't really have a choice because there isn't an answer that makes much sense, but maybe
 
for example: i am in a mafia game solely because i thought it would hilarious to suddenly post a bad cow pun after having disappeared for years
