Well, there is the whole atheotes is always mafia thing, which I am risking my life to post, so I think its safe to assume there is at most 2 mafia left.
Since I am not allowed to reveal my role I will only ask Why would a mafia claim a DT role to someone who is likely a townie? Also, don't assume everything in your role is true.
You make good points, I'm fine with you not believing my role PM/not believing me
But scum claiming DT to a townie can be really helpful, it helps them get into a town circle if any exists, form one under their leadership if one doesn't and it allows him to fish for more information, at this point I can only speculate, but I suspect that much like I had information about atheotes in my PM he too had information about some player (probably me as this set up seems to like linked roles) that was a prime mafia target (if not me then probably some medic/vigi role), thus he was trying to determine as many names as possible to track down his target.
This is all WIFOM however, all I know for sure is that he did role claim to you and attempted to form a town circle

how did you come to that conclusion? I'm not necessarily doubting you, but something to back it up would be appreciated

your contribution is exceedingly helpful, it was very insightful and pretty much won the game for the town, I'm glad you chose to contribute such a detailed in depth analysis, I especially like the metagame analysis on page 4 and the syntax deconstruction of the day posts on page 6. Thank you for also cross-referencing the index

By the way I RNGed my check tonight between chaoser, Believer and gryffindor, I'll post the result in the morning assuming I survive (I did this in case there's a framer role out there)

EBOWP: sorry why if that post of mine came off as too harsh, I was so excited to see a new post in the thread (I was expecting something exciting) and then I had my hopes crushed 
no offense was meant

"I, why, do hereby admit to being a scummy mafia player who writes in code, and I sure hope you don't solve this, lynch if you do please." The cat's out of the bag. :p
I was going to say its just random text, but then I counted letters, I think it may actually be a cypher, I'm going to fool around with it, its likely its just random letters, but it may not be.
Here's the letter count if anyone cares
letter How many letters
A 5
B 7
C 5
D 1
E 4
F 4
G 14
H 3
I 3
J
K 3
L 2
M 3
N 5
O 2
P 1
Q 6
R 8
S 9
T 2
U 6
V 5
W 10
X 2
Y 4
Z 3

well, I have an English paper due, but cyphers fascinate me, I'm going to see if its a simple sliding one with E = G, i'll fiddle around with it for a while, if I dont get anywhere I'll look at the rest of why's posts (I love secret codes!)

your red text must be really awesome then why, still working on cracking it, if its just random gibberish I am going to be upset

I really wish he had put spaces in his message, it would make my life sooo much easier

United States22154 Posts
why if you can answer this, do all your messages to town have the same cipher? (sorry cyphers *really* intrigue me)
also GGQ, nice to see you contributing now, I'm sorry that your role made you die like that.

alright, sleep for me, rest assured that whether dead or alive I will crack the code

you are Schrodinger's aidnai, you are both alive and dead
I survived the night so as promised my check, I ended up checking chaoser, he is Yaseikhaan. Now someone interpret that for me, I have no clue what that means

@why I'm still working on your cypher, if you can choose what it contains then please next time start it with the phrase "I like the town" that should give me enough material to crack it, if you aren't allowed then I understand.

well, I recognize the passage, its from Hamlet, specifically when Polonius tells Ophelia to stop seeing Hamlet.
As of right now I'm going to consider it as 4 separate puzzles, 1 is the poem, 2 is the unbolded cypher, 3 is the numbers and 4 is the bolded cypher, I am almost certain he is using the same cypher for all his bolded messages, and have been trying to crack it accordingly, I really didn't get very far
So, my preliminary thoughts on this
1.) I am unsure if the fact that it is from hamlet has any relationship with the puzzle, note the fact that there are 3 colors, blue, green and red, corresponding to the roles that may be in the game, there are 13 colored words, 6 red, 4 green and 3 blue, I suspect each word may be linked to a player and serve as a hint to their identity, I'll check to see if any of them are anagrams of names of current people, but I doubt they are. I also think it may be a good idea to consider synonyms of the words and see if they link to any names (e.g. if the querry where in there it could mean ask and that might tie into "ask the pizza guy" if he were still alive). Its also possible that you can arrange the provided words into an understandable sentence, finally it may be a hint towards solving the cypher, although I fail to see how
2.) since this isn't bolded I believe it uses a different cypher, perhaps one that is much easier to crack, I'll give it a whirl
3.) No clue, I'll look for patterns, it may relate to either 1, 2 or 4
4.) This is another cypher code, I think it uses the same code as the previous ones, I may be wrong, so if you do try to solve it consider them independently of each other

EBWOP: a quick google search shows its Act 1 scene 3, which may or may not be of some kind of help

21 lines and 14 numbers so the number of lines in #1 isn't directly connected to the numbers in #3

A breakthrough, if you compare the passage to the original there are some letters missing, those letters say "Key Is eight" going to see how that applies to the cryptogram

using a sliging cypher 8 spaces to the right you get
"HERRINGS ARE ALWAYS RED CKNXOCC LOPYBO TOKVYECI"
for #2, which seems to refer back to the red text in # 1
2nd half of the message seems to use a different cypher, I'll try sliding 8 in the opposite direction

yep, that was it, it yields "SADNESS BEFORE JEALOUSY"
(wow, sorry for spamming, but I get really excited when I solve puzzles)
