Board Thread:What happens in Salem/@comment-26832255-20161128042046

I get Arsonist. Since it's nearly impossible I try to indirectly get eliminated. Day 2, when NO ONE has died, I start acting like a really bad Jester. The fact I use a default avatar, default house, and cheesy name only help the illusion that I am not a threat. Not even the Jailor or Vigilante goes after me.

Night 2, I realize the town has shunned me...so I start dousing people that talk the most.

Note that this town is very cocky. They get lucky and lynch a witch early on, and everyone's acting like they've just won the Super bowl.

Well, turns out I douse the two biggest talkers, Thomas Danforth and Moon. They both demand (in all caps) that someone pay for this atrocity. They ask a quiet guy, William Phips, for his role. He claims Bodyguard, and needless to say the insane townies lynch him without mercy, laughing maniacally. It turns out he's Bodyguard, and they yell at him for "being stupid."

Night 3, I douse the last big talker, Light.

Danforth, Moon, and Light all accuse another quiet guy. Out of sheer luck (or bad luck, depending on your perspective,) he is an AFK Jester.

Seizing the oppurtunity (and wanting to quiet down the chat a little,) I ignite. Danforth, Moon, and Light are all key Town roles, only the Jailor is a surviving townie.

The town, or what is left of it, is in total panic mode. Nobody can lynch anyone because everyone is accusing everyone else, but an Investigator comes out of nowhere and restores order. He gets the Godfather lynched and claims that he has found another guy as Mafioso and ME as the Arsonist.

I am jailed that night, but an ESCORT roleblocks the jailor (as I find out later) and prevents him from executing me. The mafia kills him that same night, the Jailor forgets to put me in his will since I kept him talking, and the Investigator makes a grave mistake and calls out the aformentioned mafia member. He is hung and the Investigator calls me out again.

The Investigator is killed, since Phips the Bodyguard was hung earlier, and only one townie remains, along with one mafia member and myself. Despite the fact that a witch already died, the Investigator called me out, no Neutral Killers have died and the mafia member claims he was doused, the townie (who is a Spy) cannot connect the dots and thinks I am still Jester. He thinks he can still win and hangs the mafia member.

Two nights later, he is charred by gasoline, and I win the game, along with a Jester who has been AFK all game.

Luckiest win ever. But who can win in the Town of Salem without a little luck?
