    Pretending to be dead is fun. I was pretty sure I was never gonna get the chance to do that ever again, so I had to take advantage of it while I could.

    We've got 8 people alive.

    2 mafia left:
    - And we don't kill any mafia or don't kill their assaulter: We lose a villager to the vote, 2 dead kills, and 2 mafia kills. That leaves 3 players left tomorrow. If there are two mafia left, we lose.
    - And we vote out their assaulter: We lose 3 villagers, which puts us at 1 mafia and 3 villagers left. We would have to vote out the mafia to win. If we vig them then its a host victory.

    1 mafia left:
    - And we vote/assault them: we win
    - And we don't kill them tonight. We lose 5 villagers. Leaving 3 people alive tomorrow and even if we hit with our vote then the dead will vote out the remaining and its a host victory.

    So the only way we win is if we vote out a mafia tonight. And even then, there is only one fringe case where the game doesn't end tonight.

    So since there won't be a next day, I see no danger in infodumping so we make the best decision. Here's the rundown of the remaining players:


    38thDoe - Has buffed me for the past two nights, which I think would clear him since he if he was mafia he wouldn't have been able to assault
    Bliss101 - See 38thDoe
    Corvidae - We've had 2 builders die green. We've never had more than 2 of any role. He was seered as "You can't make anything out about corvidae's true intentions" but the seering in this game is weird and it could just be how the question was asked. He did use the artifact on me the night before last, but admittedly did not know what the artifact would do and also told me that there was a warning to "be careful who you use the artifact on." But still, I don't see a mafia using the artifact on me. They'd probably target one of their own.
    Grunt's Ghosts - Really vocal about me coming back, which I think he wouldn't do if he was mafia? Or maybe he would because as a mafia it would be easy to get super pissed about an unkillable nethead. Got into a group early and I don't think they've killed any mafia. I've got nothing here. Not sure either way.
    LonelyAhava - Seered Village by MrT.
    SLyM - Again, nothing. Laid super low all game, made himself invincible with armor. That could easily be mafia or just a defensive village player.
    WACriminal - Was supposed to attack me last night. Had he done so, it would have shown in the narration that I was assaulted by a green player. This is how I was trying to confirm chamberlain and how he got caught as well. He's claiming he did attack me but it must have been a busdrive or something. Easily our best lead, imo.

    With that being said, our best lead is WACriminal. Lying about attacking me when it could have confirmed him green is too much to overlook.

    Well then...

    WACriminal, sorry bro, but that's just too much odd for me to trust.

    Seers ask a question

    And then Burnage The Cave answers it however it feels like it.

    Lets just infodump what MrT gave me:

    Q: what is the most useful thing that I could learn tonight?
    A: The most useful thing you could learn tonight would be the names of the six Death Cultists stalking Portend.

    Q: which words and in what order could I use in a divination request that would unambiguously reveal the names of the six Death Cultists stalking Portend?
    A: no reply. It seems as if the Cave isn't powerful enough to provide a response, and you're about to leave when you experience a rapid series of mental images - corpses, growing more numerous, growing more powerful, coming to rule over all. You're not sure what it means, but you leave the Cave sweating.

    Q: Which player(s) attacked the mortuary?
    A: Raiden333 and another individual, their face obscured to you, attacked the mortuary.

    Q: What is the name of a non-eliminated player that is an undead threat to the town?
    A: There are no non-eliminated players that are an undead threat.

    Q:Is Gizzy a Death Cultist?
    A: lonelyahava does not appear to worship death


    Day 6: Divination - Is lonelyahava a Death Cultist?
    Reply: lonelyahava does not appear to worship death

    Q: Is corvidae the name of one of the six Death Cultists that stalked Portend on the first night?
    A: You can't make anything out about corvidae's true intentions

    Basically its like if seering were clarification questions, with hilarious host cave responses and all

    How the feck do I be coming out of that looking more suspicious than the mangy cur corvidae? He be violating our rule of three, the seering cave be hesitant to be telling ye his alignment, and he be holding artifacts aligned with death.

    In fact, take a look at these side by side:

    Q: Which player(s) attacked the mortuary?
    A: Raiden333 and another individual, their face obscured to you, attacked the mortuary.
    Q: Is corvidae the name of one of the six Death Cultists that stalked Portend on the first night?
    A: You can't make anything out about corvidae's true intentions

    Two instances of cloaking from the seering cave. Mayhaps the same player? Further evidence:
    Q:Is Gizzy a Death Cultist?
    A: lonelyahava does not appear to worship death

    First off, what the feck. And ye be saying there be no bus-driving hereabouts. A proper daft one, ye be.

    Second, the seering cave seem not hesitant to provide alignment seering in general, providing ye with Ahava's alignment. Then how come it be so cryptic when corvidae be the target? Be he some sort of shifty type?

    Finally, consider again these two facts in evidence:

    1. The remaining enemy, presumably, be the mysterious cove wot attacked the mortuary.
    2. Corvidae be claiming to be a builder.

    Perhaps he be not simply a builder, but instead can attack OR repair a building? 'Twould be the perfect cover role. Or, even more simply, perhaps he can only attack buildings, but could have held back his attack to "confirm" that he had repaired a building under attack.

    All of this seem proper suspicious to me eyes.

    And ye still not be explaining how a mafia team which includes multiple experienced veterans -- including discrider, who God save him ain't done naught BUT play mafia of late -- made such a rookie mistake as to put their team kill on the vote winner, without me bus driving power. The evidence of me bus driving's continued existence be right there in yer seering cave results, but ye be plainly ignoring it, mate.

    But didn't you lose your busdriving power on day 2?

    When did MrT get the results on Lonelyahava?

    MrT told me about Ahava after my second death, whatever day that was. It sounded like he seered her that night.

    I have so many PMs

    But I thought I asked MrT to seer Ahava, turns out I asked him to seer discrider but he seered ahava that night. It was because I wasn't confirmed yet so he didnt trust me. That Gizzy question was just an example he gave me of the phrasing he was gonna use on his target that night. I copied that question and then the results on Ahava. I'm dumb.

    Why didn't you attack me last night?

    You knew it would confirm you. I have basically zero health and die to any attack of any strength. If you had attacked me, it would have shown up in narration.

    Yet you obviously didn't attack me because nothing was there. And there was no busdrive because I got my attack buffed by the weaponsmiths.
