Oh, and FCoD… I have to ask, why did you feel the need to mention that Kyrie would probably make it through the Night? Even if he’s not a Cultist, he had the second most votes yesterday, and thus would probably be an easy lynch if either Queuing or USCDiver is the last cultist. In fact, I’d think that if the last cultist were either of those two, they’d have been silly to kill him. ---

I don’t know. I was just mad that Cookies didn’t believe me, and I thought we had lost for sure. I still think we’re going to lose. I predict that Kyrie will kill USCDiver and Cookies will decide to lynch Queuing. –FCOD ---

Shhhhh! 😛 I have this constant fear that people ingame will see posts in this topic somehow like I did in III. Really, all it takes is either: A. Vanity searches or B. Looking up all of a players past posts to see what they thought game-wise. ---

[QUOTE=Idle Thoughts] Shhhhh! 😛 I have this constant fear that people ingame will see posts in this topic somehow like I did in III. Really, all it takes is either: A. Vanity searches or B. Looking up all of a players past posts to see what they thought game-wise. [/QUOTE] I don’t think anything in here is that bad… they’ll figure out that there’s only one cultist left for sure by dawn, and at that point, whether it was or was not used won’t matter because… there won’t be a chance to use it even if it wasn’t used. But, FWIW, here’s some ideas on how to avoid those problems. A) Don’t have such a big ego. 😛 B) Make sure you’re only searching threads of a certain length (say, 4000 posts in this case). Even earlier in the games, they’ll quickly grow outside of the average MPSIMS threads and always out pace the forbidden thread, so it’s easier to find posts only related to the game thread. ---

Oh yeah? Well according to [wikipedia.com](http://wikipedia.com) > [@wikipedia.com](#): > > For some time, “cow” has been in general use as a singular for the collective “cattle” in spite of the objections of cattlepersons. It is equivalent to “horse” or “dog” and is easy to use when a singular is needed and the gender is not known, as in “There is a cow in the road.” So 😛 😛 Everyone knows Wikipedia is infallible. –FCOD ---

Very interesting choice from the Prophet and I actually thought it would be the only other move he might make if he chose not to kill Cookies. So, I wonder if he can outwit Cookies for the victory? Maybe Diggit can console her after the game is over. 🙂 ---

I think the reasoning behind it is sound and offers a better shot at a win then taking out cookies would. But it is a bold move. I can’t wait to see how this turns out. ---
