Ok I'll post my theory, It still may work BUT I'm not sure that it plays. You were all ordinary on the island weren't you... don't buy it, sorry A. based off of last night, I'm assuming the main mechanic involves the islanders helping us, giving us confirmed townies. I also have to assume that scum are in here, and that the afterlife isn't basically just heist mafia 2.0. we have town prs in here, I don't doubt it

Well, we have to banish someone either way, so pretending that we were all ordinary doesn't help us. Besides the fact that that seems a dangerous thing to just assume. "most players don't know about the Afterlife" - so some do (if this isn't only isolating Sorian from the rest). Could there be any crossover powers to the Afterlife from the main game? Zipped is Town. Pop, Launch, Blarg, Lone(Not sure on the last one) were inactive due to FF still going on, yes? Either way, they should be able to contribute now. Let's here it away when they have catched up!

Either that 'bad things will happen' when you die means Scum gets extra powers at Night ( hence the 9 deaths ), all Ordinarys are killed ( also 9 deaths ), or it means no role PMs upon death for those that died at Night ( lots of killing PRs? ). Honestly I would believe anything at this point.

Oh zipped, there goes your theory. Xam just claimed Ordinary (he may be lying though) My theory isn't that my death killed all the ordinaries. My theory is that everyone on the island are ordinary (scum or town, but no "abilities") maybe not even a scum kill or they are a true neutral role. We aren't assigned a "role" until we die. Note I didn't say alignment. Some people on island or in the afterlife may be evil or good. Some people may have switched from good to evil and vice versa. (That remains to be seen) My proof, which can't be proven it's Mafia, is that my original role Pm said I was ordinary. I only became the outsider right before I was thrown into the volcano.

Another possibility to consider is that any Scum who are now among us ghosts might still have access to their secret chat, meaning they can relay info back to their still-living compatriots so the general 'don't role claim unless you need to' comes into effect. We might be dead but we're still scumhunting here.
Oh also

We can discuss how everyone died in here, whether it was an unknown lynch bomb (cabot's personal favorite theory, he REALLY doesn't like me this game), or just a lot of deaths.
I personally think it was a gameplay lynch bomb (no matter what we would have had 10 people in here today), who got lynched didn't matter. Some of those may be scum or X-shots, but no matter what we would have had a lot of people in here today.

We don't just get to banish here, we also get to kill someone from the island every night.

Omg this is so fun, especially if Zipped is telling the truth!
Right now, what's important is that i come up with my top town lists then (more so than top scum). Because that's who I'll bestow abilities on.
I'm curious to see how the person we lynch from the afterlife will flip.

I think it's a combination of both your death and Scum/Neutrals because there is no way a lynch bomb kills 9 people all at once, that's just absurd. It's probably a few Scum kills ( 2 or 3, maybe more if we think factions are in play ), a Neutral kill ( 1 or 2? ), and then something that triggered upon your death but I don't know if that's just no role PMs or extra kills.

Also a thought: Maybe the assigned animals are responsible for some kind of chain reaction? It sucks we don't know how broad zipped's power reached.

Oh also #LynchScrafty Panicking a little because i may have revealed a little too much about myself already, but at least we can't die again, right (unless lynched). So what do people think of Sorian then? I don't think he had access to this thread when he was briefly dead, as he didn't post here. He probably has some role that interacts with the dead though, but i don't trust him.

It's a long shot but there is a slim possibility that they still can and I wouldn't want to risk helping out scum. And I thought about the Spirit Animal thing as well and that might very well be the case but I don't want everyone to come out with their Animal yet, it's still unclear as to what effects what.

Seeing as we can effect the living players by killing them at Night I wouldn't be surprised if they had something they could use against us as well. Catching up still ( 2 threads is a bit much ) but Sorian has become a little more shakey in terms of alignment. I'm still willing to believe Town but there is a lot of questions I have, although I will say his reaction towards no Role PMs felt genuine.

Actually I'm not sure how we should use our night kill. Do we try and get someone with great deductive power to help us with our afterlife scum hunt, or try to help the islanders eliminate scum?
Does it matter if we scum hunt during the night, or do we justtry and keep our favorites alive and then find them scummy up here?
Obviously, I think it's possible for everyone to die on the island, but we can still win in the afterlife.
This is because Town's win condition is to eliminate all the evil spirits, that strikes me as eliminate the afterlife scum.

Actuall I thought about that but came to the conclusion that Scum-hunting should be our priority. We can't banish Scum if they will never get here. Also - if we won't get the alignment of whom we had lynched from the Afterlife it's for naught either way (someone can correct me, if it was stated whether or not we get such information)

Everyone is being so mean to Zipped :( Seriously. :( I'm going to have some choice words with those who are complaining about a 'bad play' and then proceeded to bandwagon. Actually I'm not sure how we should use our night kill. Do we try and get someone with great deductive power to help us with our afterlife scum hunt, or try to help the islanders eliminate scum? Does it matter if we scum hunt during the night, or do we justtry and keep our favorites alive and then find them scummy up here? Obviously, I think it's possible for everyone to die on the island, but we can still win in the afterlife. This is because Town's win condition is to eliminate all the evil spirits, that strikes me as eliminate the afterlife scum.Hm, possibly? We won't have much to go on until we get a confirmed Scum to flip but you might be right. As for Night kills...I really don't know at this point. Having people come here and help us might be great but since we: a) don't know if we get role PMs when someone dies at Night and therefore can't confirm their alignment b) people might switch alignments when coming here c) we don't know Scums win condition which may be to just eliminate all living Islanders and we would be helping them inch closer to victory. When it comes to Night Kills I feel like trying to hit Scum might be best.

I think we only didn't get alignments this time to keep us guessing on who to banish. It would be no fun if one of the eliminated were scum, we would just banish them.

First off, ehm... weird? So you got two PMs in close approximation with no benefit whatsoever between getting the Power and getting lynched?
And: Wouldn't Sorian disprove your theory, though?

" I was a staunch defender of ridli yesterday but I second your concerns here. Re-reading the thread over night and I softened completely on my stance of thinking he was town. I want words and action from coppa, ridli, nin, and trigger and in all honesty, ridli's bullshit reasoning for voting on me yesterday was lazy and half-hearted. I let it slide worrying that he was new but early posts from him yesterday on a second read made me realize that he was much more comfortable with the game than he was letting on."
Sorian's sooooo full of shit

Splinter I can't tell if you're a genius or a madman having a mechanic that just destroys role PMs.
The main thread is having a tough time picking out a target because of it but I'm also at a loss here. We need to vote someone out here who we think is Scum but I have no idea where to start.
