Thanks for the game Blaster. I had fun. Really, I did.

**Cookies** is killing me. Seriously, I’m dying here, refreshing every six minutes.

Wow, I’m gone for a few weeks and . . . wow. This was an intense game, but it was so much fun! I’m kinda sorry I got killed in the middle (rather than closer to the end), although it’s also fun watching the game from the sidelines armed with more information.

Can’t wait to read the secret boards!

I will also add my thanks to **Blaster Master** for a great game even if I only played for a little while.

In my brief existence as a Crusader I concluded that **Kyrie** was Cultist and that \*\*storyteller \*\*was, as well, because he jumped to defend him on Day 1.

On Day 2 my feelings about **Kyrie** grew stronger, and my read on \*\*storyteller \*\*lessened somewhat.  
Now, because I’m stupid, I thought: well, I have been FOS-ing **Kyrie** during a couple of Days now. So I’ll off \*\*storyteller \*\*first because I’m not associated with him. Not because I was more suspicious of him. But because I wasn’t linked to him… :smack:

In other words, had I acted in the best interests of town (disregarding my own safety), I would have killed the Prophet (if \*\*Kyrie \*\*turns out to be the prophet, of course) on Night 2! :smack: :smack:

Thanks **Blaster Master**! I had loads of fun.

Just a brief bump while we wait for the ending.

This game has been such fun and worked out well enough.

But she’s putting some good thought into it. Just flipping a coin would be so tempting, though. 😉

I hope the Prophet is kicking himself right now for killing me and leaving Cookies alive, because I never would have been able to go through that much effort to make a decision.

Good grief.

That is a seriously impressive amout of work **Cookies** has done.

Especially after everything that has gone on in the game. Regardless of the way the decision goes, is there any kind of award for perserverence we can give her.

Frankly she deserves it. My hat is off to you Cookies. I would never have put in that kind of effort.

As a lurker who’s eagerly been following both threads, I have to agree - very impressive work. I would have gone with the coin toss, I suspect.

If **Kyrie** does turn out to be the Prophet, I really REALLY hope that **Queuing** is a vanilla Citizen like he claimed and not a Non-Believer, because I would be pissed if they got a win after all that work.

Even if Queuing is a non-believer, I will take comfort from knowing we didn’t lose because Cookies made a wrong decision twice in a row. 😉

I’m pretty sure **Queuing** is a nonbeliever, and that they’re going to win the game. The fact that **Blaster Master** believed that **Hockey Monkey** had a chance of securing a nonbeliever win right up until her untimely death strongly suggests to me that there was at least one more nonbeliever in the game. Since no other nonbelievers have turned up, it’s gotta be **Queuing**.

It’ll be a well-deserved win, if I’m right - **Hockey Monkey** will have made it happen, by keeping **mhaye** from investigating **Queuing** when he wanted to.

I was thinking the same thing about Queuing. I think he’s the last non-believer.

To be honest, I don’t even remember if the last person is a Believer or Non-Believer. I guess I should check up my spreadsheet, eh? 😃
