[QUOTE=Hockey Monkey] šŸ˜ƒ I was thinking the same thing about Queuing. I think heā€™s the last non-believer. [/QUOTE] Well, if you do win, Iā€™ll take my hat off to you. Well played! ---

That means all three factions could win either way here. Man, suspense times three. ---

[QUOTE=Idle Thoughts] That means all three factions could win either way here. Man, suspense times three. [/QUOTE] How is that? If we assume that one between **Queuing** and **Kyrie** is a Non-Believer (and no, Iā€™m not telling šŸ˜› ), how could the believers win? If they lynch the Prophet, the Non-Believers win. If they lynch the Non-Believer, the Cult wins. If they lynch Cookies, the Cult wins. The only way that town can win is if there is no Non-Believer left AND they lynch the Prophetā€¦ unless, youā€™re specifically refering to the ambiguity about the alignment of the last role. ---

Thatā€™s what I thought **Idle** was referring to. The rest of us observers/dead players donā€™t know the numbers involved, so itā€™s possible thereā€™s two believers, or one of each (plus the prophet, of course). As an aside, **Blaster** , this has been a very fun game to watch. Well done! ---

The simple answer is ā€œWe donā€™t knowā€ The only person who is actually knows is **Queuing** (or \*\*BM \*\* when he finally gets around to looking at his spreadsheet). ---

Okay, we donā€™t necessarily know if Queuing is a non-believer or believerā€¦ but all the scum know if heā€™s scum or not, right? ---

Possibilities are: 1: Queuing = Believer -\> Believer Win 2: Queuing = Prophet -\> Cult Win 3: Queuing = Non-Believer -\> Non-Believer win ---

Right. But the scum know who the prophet isā€¦ they can either eliminate or affirm answer 2. And BM has already called an end to the game, so itā€™s not like Cookies could look in here and change her answer. ---

Thank you very much for all the kudos, though I wonder how much you all are still thinking that after my stunt with the Dusk post. šŸ†’ Anyway, the game is over now. Please feel free to move any comments to the game thread. ---
