Alicornutopia

...I've reviewed the evidence, and continue to not be convinced by anybody's arguments, but I suppose I'll vote Tau because he at least seems more suspicious than PDV, and is the only one who seems to stand any chance of getting more votes. I'll be gone for a couple hours after this post, but should be back some time before the day ends, so I'll respond to any counterarguments then.

I still think speaking of 3 deaths/night is more indicative of vigilante that expects to make some mistakes than a mafia member.
Are you guys seeing something I am not seeing?

Unofficial vote count:

PlainDealingVillain: 7 (Alpha, Shoal, Tamien, kappa, paradox, tau, MTC)
tau: 3 (jalapeno_dude, pistachi0n, Tulip)
michaelblume: 1 (anthusiasum)
pistachi0n: 1 (modrony)
Abstentions: 7 (BlueSkySprite, futurevision, michaelblume, PlainDealingVillain, wolffreak567)

what if someone quoted both of these things together (and updated them) once per page so we can keep track of where things are


preview-edit: @modrony could be a lone serial killer too. one mafia kill + one lynch + one serial killer = 3. and then either choosing not to kill to prove he was wrong and just speculating, or the mafia choosing not to kill to set him up but yeah the evidence is pretty weak this early on and a lot of it could be in our own imaginations, it's hard to tell. i mean, i'm just speculating too but no one's going after me. i do hope we don't collectively decide that speculating is scummy, that'll be death of us for sure.

I really need to go back over the thread, though. I like the thing Tamien did with the listing everybody's positions and moving them up and down. maybe i should try that.

anyway, less abstaining more voting.

The original numbers were 11985987154727 and 12686693013949.

The math seems to check out. So wolffreak and MTC do have a private communication channel (or are cheating, but that would be a very very silly way to cheat).

I'll confirm that the math checks out. Thank you :)

Kappa wrote:Also, nobody openly committed to it but today's random number is 6 (DanielH).

just caught side of this while rereading the thread. maybe that's why they picked Daniel. because it's random and untraceable.

some preliminary thoughts from my reread: kappa's looking pretty towny because she's quick to help other people and seeks clarification if he doesn't understand something and she asks people questions and stuff. i'm only about a third of the way through my reread, though so i'm not comfortable sharing the scummier end yet.

I'll confirm that I stared at the number for a while and didn't succeed in factorising it in my head.

I have a desktop wiki (zim is the name of the program if anyone else wants one) but I haven't written much yet there about this game. I should. Instead what I did was I sorted the game by author and went through that way and then wrote the name.

hi past me why didn't you do this then

edit: hi future me aren't you glad i didn't wait another 40 pages to start this?

Switching to vote tau since that seems to have a chance of winning.
I have about average view of him. (slight suspicion of innocence based on being a killer last time is balanced with low participation)
I have slight suspicion of innocence to PDV since a killer wouldn't have drawn attention to himself with a remark like that.
