    So what I'm gathering from the thread is that there are some non-mafia masoned groups running around? I'm not in one so I'm just trying to understand how they've been structured.

    Pretty much.

    It looks like we have a few partially-overlapping objective trees / minigames as well.

    As a waiter, my deductions based on what people have said over drinks while they think i'm deaf is that there are also faction members who are not masoned

    There are at least two groups I know of that started masoned, although the chance of there being double agents in there is high.

    Sorry for missing day 1 ladies and gentlemen. It appears someone put something... unwelcome... in my daiquiri. I went to my car to restart my heart and things seems to be back to normal for the time being.

    Though I do have to say, well done chaps and lasses! A scoundrel looking to work on a week like this week. How uncouth!

    Now, if I can refrain from ingesting any further poisons or poison-adjacent compounds, I'm sure we'll all continue to have a smashing week!

    Oh, and in case I fail in that endeavor, I shall place a placeholder vote for Mamawolf until I have had a chance to bring myself up to speed.

    This is the same line the dead mafia was spouting, for the record. The untrustworthyness of those mason groups (so far) appears to be on the Nation-axis, not the Hot/Cold-axis.

    Has there ever been a balanced/successful game where the host presented masoned groups that were untrustworthy from day1?

    Have any of you by chance met my new friends? They were last spotted on their way to the pet store, hoping to buy an exotic pet for their grandnephews. It's not the PetSmart; it's the Specialty Shop, in the Mall

    ohhhh when you said box hunting when voting for phyphor earlier I immediately thought "magic box" - and was pretty confused, but it all makes sense now.

    I legitimately forgot that this was a mechanic to obtaining the box.

    Do we know the order in which it goes for priority? Like, if someone tries to pass it off and gets murdered and voted for who gets it?

    Oh that's easy.
    You send a message to kime saying 'Why' at :00 because someone sent you the box at :59.
    And then you get murdered and voted

    But yeah, Locus activated the box and then gave it to me.
    And it was beeping.

    Ok my phone auto corrected that, but only because the name itself is silly.

    Can confirm.

    Not sure what the box does, but it is beeping and has flashing lights and I didn't want to blow up.

    SlyM

    Yesterday, when looking at vote order, kime was up one vote over 3cl1ps3, and then SlyM tied them up. Thankfully blahmcblah and Locus came in and pushed Kime ahead two, but looks like a vote to bring a villager wagon into range to overtake a mafia one.

    I am a little concerned that the mason groups mean more bandwagons, so I hope everyone is still looking at voting records for their reasoning instead of just going with whoever their mason group suggest.

    Logic indicates that the mason groups likely are infiltrated. And for those of us who didn't get a group to start but just a passphrase to find our group, we're at a disadvantage.

    It's someone who is just coming out into the open to say they didn't get a Mason group to start, only a passphrase to find their group (striking out hard so far).

    The sudden wagon above feels like Mason groups all agreed on who to vote for and are pushing that.

    That said, MamaWolf is a fair vote because of her position on the 3cl1ps3 wagon (SlyM's is still worse in my opinion) but I selfishly don't want the mason groups to dictate the vote every day unless there's strong reasoning in the vote records AND people sharing information, not just votes.

    I'm fine with a MamaWolf vote after she tried to get me killed.
