Cats (2019) Mafia

[Keldeo]

I mean I kind of don’t know how my cat is my role, so that’s not really useful.

I am, anyway, leaning to the side of thinking that the actual cat is probably not relevant to alignment besides the really obvious ones like Macavity, so I’m only inherently suspicious of that claim if someone counterclaims Alonzo

 

[IndigoClaudia]

emmy (this isn't me suspicion throwing) why'd you decide to claim just now?

Because i felt pressured.

No pressure as I ask this, but why did you feel pressured? There’s a day left in the phase.

Ok unless i'm about to get lynched i won't reveal what cat i am. Because i am certainly not an evil looking cat

Well, you've made it pretty clear that you're a power role of some kind, thus painting yourself as a prime target for the mafia to kill toNight. So, it would perhaps be helpful for the Town if you claim before you (most likely) die?

hmmmmm. this seems a little pushy? i feel like my stance on emmy is more towards vt/w, since (obviously i dont know emmy's brain so this is speculation) power role emmy would have more of a reason to actively claim/defend herself than just like, trying to guilt people lol. this frankly comes across as pushing for information / trying to push discussion off of yourself

maybe im reading into this with too much of a triggerhappy mentality, but it seems off.

idk what to make of this either but i think emmy tries to guilt town regardless of her role, but "claim before you die" could be fine ... ? the 'most likely' is awkward though ...

I mean I kind of don’t know how my cat is my role, so that’s not really useful.

same here. it's also why i was :/ about ILS flavorspec, i don't think cat = role. at least not in my case

Hmmm, i cant tell if i want to devote extra brain power into hyperlink-meta. my first thought was "hmm its weird that the link was for the stage production and not the film", but frankly we have no way of knowing if the role pm's are consistent between everyone. it's very possible that emmy got both hyperlinks.

but at the same time, this feels like one of those movie moments where if people forget the teeny detail thats bothering them, then everyone dies. so at the end of the day, idk, but its something to think about

idk actually and i kind of regret it. It's not really something i'm worried about because the mafia have to spend three whole days trying to kill me so it's a better idea for them to find someone else with a power role.

 

[mewtini]

Because i felt pressured.

by who? i thought the majority was telling you not to claim

wait, it's not even three-shot bulletproof, it's three nights in a row. that really is weirdly specific

 

[rari_teh]

I'm Alonzo. The mafia can't kill me unless they try to kill me three nights in a row or i'm the only one left. So basically, i'm here for the long haul.

I don’t buy this tbh? because…

Oh wait that’s the stage show wiki? Is Alonzo in the film?

he is a very minor character in the film. The Cats Musical Wiki’s page on the 2019 movie lists 14 cats as main characters (obviously none of them being Alonzo). 14 is super duper coincidentally the minimum number of players for this game as per JackPK, who also said that the rest would be filled with vanilla town/mafia roles.

this claim smells fishier than nam pla.

i think emmy tries to guilt town regardless of her role

this could be entirely true, my thought process at the time was "would vanilla emmy react differently than power emmy" but my thought process there is biased bc i know how id react in that situation

 

[IndigoClaudia]

emmy got both hyperlinks.

i did

Power Emmy is like 90% Quieter and 110% Memey-er

this is actually a pretty good catch tbh.
did anyone else get both hyperlinks ... ? i know this is splitting hairs but my role pm link was to the 2019 version

honestly, im glad someone else brought this up too, i could tell if i was going crazy about the link thing

one possible line (im not sure if i actually believe this) is that Alonzo was intentionally chosen in order to reduce the risk of someone else counter-cat-claiming?

I was confused about this too. I'm not sure the reason for this tbh.

too tinfoil-y i think unless we go down the path of "mafia coached her into that" :/
ugh i really do not want to end up getting screwed over by me tunneling emmy again

mine also was. this is what i was worried about thinking too hard about earlier, but i honestly dont see a reason why Jack would give some people just one link and other people two different links

fair enough. still trying to figure out which of my Thoughts are good and which are tinfoil. still sorta sus about the whole situation tho

They could be inconsistent idk.

So nobody else got two links? i did so no one else did? weird.

 

[mewtini]

anyway i kind of think this might be a weird line of reasoning to descend fully into. like. it's possible she just saw the cat name, looked it up, and produced a link right?

 

[mewtini]

- ok and now i realize that the dialogue here shows that that doesn't really work, actually
