Mr. Nishio, Mr. Tachikawa, Mr. Yamada, Mr. Iwanaga and others
Tachikawa: initiated. Iwanaga: The bells ring at 3, 4, and 5 minutes respectively. Nishio: Well. Tachikawa: Well, how about I start this offā¦I am a fortune teller. Nishio: Really? Tachikawa: I am a fortune teller. Last night I divined these two in the middle. The results were a werewolf and a thief. So one of these four is a werewolf. And there is no card exchange. Nishio: I see. Because the thief was here. Tachikawa: Because the thief is here. Nishio: Yes. Tachikawa: I am the fortune teller here, so it should be werewolf, villager, and villager. Iwanaga: Werewolf, villager, and villager. Tachikawa: Fortune teller, three of you are werewolf, werewolf, and villager. One of the three of you must be a werewolf. Nishio: I see. Iwanaga: I honestly donāt know anything about it because I was a villager when I saw it. Nishio: I was a villager too, but then I think itās a pretty tough game situation where youāre the first person to be a werewolf (laughs). Iwanaga: Yes. Nishio: If this is the way it is, and this place (Yamada-san) is a werewolf, then you (Yamada-san) will die. Yamada: I am also a villager. Tachikawa: (laughs) Yamada: I was wondering what I would do if I became a fortune teller since it was my first time, but I am a little relieved because I just sleep all the time. Nishio: Information has been lost. Iwanaga: Someone is lying. Nishio: Someone is lying and saying that they are all villagersā¦so there is no thief to begin with. Tachikawa: There is no thief to begin with. Iwanaga: But Iām looking here and saying that one werewolf is inā¦ Nishio: If Mr. Tachikawa is correct, then one of these three is a werewolf and has no information, but it is very possible that Mr. Tachikawa is a werewolf to begin with and is lying at the mouth. Iwanaga: Yes, thatās right. Nishio: Why did you decide to select the middle two cards? Tachikawa: Because I thought the middle two sheets had the most information. Nishio: Yes. Tachikawa: Itās no use knowing if one is a villager or not, so I wondered who is not so and who is not here, and it was a werewolf and a thief. Iwanaga: That is set in stone. Tachikawa: Yes. But there are two and a half minutes left. Iām actually lying about one thing. In fact, there were actually werewolf and villager cards here. As a matter of fact, one of the three people other than myself should be the thief, not the villager. Nishio: In the current situation, why didnāt anyone say that Mr. Tachikawa was lying because I am a thief? Tachikawa: Why is this? Nishio: Me, I thought it was because Mr. Tachikawa was lying. There is a growing realization, though, that Mr. Tachikawa was simply a werewolf. Iwanaga: I donāt know why he lied at first. Yamada: Why did you have to lie? Tachikawa: Let me explain why I had to lie. Wouldnāt it be easier for everyone if I said that I am a fortune teller and there is a thief and a werewolf in the middle, isnāt that easy to claim? Nishio: You mean that you thought that would happen because you could all say that you are villagers. Iwanaga: Yes, thatās right. Tachikawa: But I was wondering why no one came forward here. That is, I think there is a thief who was originally a thief, but became a werewolf as a result of exchanging cards with a thief. The former thief. So that person has a situation where he/she cannot come forward and say, āI was a thief and I exchanged cards. I was a thief and exchanged cards. Nishio: That certainly makes sense too. Tachikawa: If there is any circumstance that prevents me from coming forward, it is the only one. Because I, for example, think that Mr. Nishio was originally a thief and exchanged cards with Mr. Iwanaga. Nishio: I have 30 seconds left, so letās see who we can catch. Tachikawa: You have to decide who to fish for. Nishio: I think it would be better to catch Mr. Tachikawa anyway. Because I feel that the logic is broken, or the connection is being forced. Iwanaga: I thought Mr. Nishio was quite suspicious when he said Nishio: Thatās one of the correlations. So we have six seconds left, but is there anything you would like to argue? Tachikawa: Yes, letās go. Nishio: It hasnāt chimed yet. toll of a bell Tachikawa: Coming. 3, 2, 1. (laughter) Tachikawa: I just received two votes. Nishio: Two votes in. Iwanaga: One vote for me. Nishio: There was one vote. See if Mr. Tachikawa is a werewolf. Maekawa: Yes. ć00ļ¼05ļ¼20 ć Maekawa: The werewolf wins this time. Nishio: Why did you lie? Iwanaga: Yes. Yamada: Yes. Tachikawa: The reason for this is that I thought the game would stop if I said there was a thief in the middle. In other words, the thief is here. Iwanaga: It reduces uncertainty considerably. Tachikawa: Yes. At first I told the truth, but when the thief was here, everyone would claim that I was a villager and the story would end. So I thought it would not be interesting as a test case, so I changed the story to say that I lied in the middle of the story and watched how everyone would say it. Thatās what happened. Nishio: I see. Tachikawa: But as it turned out, it backfired and I was now executed for being suspicious. Nishio: The first time you play, suddenly the fortune tellerās first coming out was actually a lie.
