You can thank Zuma V.2 for that insight. In his recollections of Hal Briston’s post he mentions Hockey Monkey being a possible town breadcrumb, and it does look really really obvious as a breadcrumb.
I think it is also the reason the Cultists knocked Hal Briston off, especially after Hockey Monkey’s roleclaim.
As long as the Cultist’s don’t try to recruit, they don’t care about the Alchemist.
Being Honest, if Hockey Monkey is lying and I was the Alchemist I would have claimed by now to get rid of a Cultist.
Blaster Master. The game has actually run fairly well given the number of subs going on. I think in future though, there should be less players, especially given the number of posts generated on Day 1 & 2 of the game. Although I think shorter days may also assist in lowering the number of posts.
I actually think the town has not played as well as the Cultists who deserve to be ahead.
Instant thought: “BM, you best be fucking with us…”
Now then, anyone who has the URL for the Top Secret Info Site (aka “The Oracle’s Tale”), take a look again if you like…I’ve updated it to reveal (in spoilerboxed form) a couple of things.
Thanks. I wasted way too much time mulling over it. It’s even harder to try to make an unbiased decision with perfect information… ugh. I also tried, as you noticed, to be as vague as possible about his role. The last thing I’d want is to go through all the effort to keep the game balanced and accidently tip his role.
Thank you Kat. Although I guess you would know how true it is or not, and no, please don’t tell me.
I would guess that there are at least 5 Cultists left out of the 19 town left, things are looking bleak unless someone else slips. What is concerning is that with a couple more town deaths, the cultists should be able to stack or divert any voting in the future. It also appears that the town don’t really have any leads or slips to follow.
Also given the nature of these games Sachertorte will still be around in 2 weeks time. Although he will actually be away for 2 1/2 game days given that the game days are down to 4 real time days.
Actually BM, if you need a sub for the future from someone else dropping out and you think I haven’t been too corrupted by the Forbidden Thread, I’m up for it.
I have a bad feeling about the town’s chances in this game. I guess, if the Apprentice can pull about four rabbits out of his/her hat, there’s still a prayer, but the town just doesn’t seem to be going about the search in a way that makes a lot of sense.
The biggest problem for the Apprentice is that Cultists come up as non-believers, so its not as obvious as it could be.
I think it unlikely fluiddruid is in a Town power role, otherwise I would have expected a roleclaim by now.
All it needs is someone to switch from **fluiddruid ** to **Malacandra ** to cause some real problems. The problem is, none of them look particularly scummy, though I could be wrong.
ARGH this is so frustrating. I really, really hope the Cultists don’t find a power role tonight. Or I hope they waste a recruit effort (by trying to recruit someone who can’t be recruited).
Whoever the Apprentice is, they’re doing a pretty good job of laying low.
Well, things are looking rather bleak for the town; however, just like there were some key decisions early that could have swung the momentum either way (and ended up going the cult’s way), there’s a couple that I see coming up as soon as Tonight that I think have a much higher chance of going pro-town and giving them a huge boost in morale.
