Sorry bout the double post (and now triple post…)
Will be back after caffeine and breakfast. Sorry for lack of participation - I’ve been out and about for most of the past three days.
Hockey Monkey, it was my mistake.
I like Hawkeyeop’s explanation of why Cookies might have created a less direct death post than for Santo Rugger. I can see mtgman and NAF deciding to make them more obscure, or at least less direct.
Also also, I like the idea of looking through the source threads to see if anything else there fits the death post. That I think is the best form of verification we can expect for ruling out the item being some other unknown characteristic.
I’m going to vote for OAOW, but first I’d like to re-iterate that while I’m generally against dossier-based lynches, I’m much more trusting of public dossier information than private dossier information. Since the death post matches OAOW’s public item, I’m willing to
vote One and Only Wanderers.
I come back from Christmas for this? Not guilty.
I feel your pain. 
A belated Merry Christmas to you.
If nothing else, I think this will be a good test case. According to the dossier info that has been posted, the killer could not be anyone but OAOW. If we lynch him and he’s scum, that’s a point in favor of relying on the dossiers. If he’s innocent, then we know people lied about their dossiers and that’s a point in favor of not relying on them.
I’m less inclined to rely on them in general, because I do think that scum lied and they will cause innocent townies to be lynched with no possible defense. I mean, think about it: at this point, what can **OAOW **say to convince you not to vote for him? Nothing, because he didn’t say or do anything to garner votes. He just has traits in his dossier, so there’s nothing to defend.
All that said, this is a good test and will give us some useful information on which to base future actions. So:
unvote brewha
vote OAOW
(Another reason I don’t like this is that’s it’s not really fun, which is why I play these games. What are we going to do for the next 4 days? yawn But I suppose that is meta-gaming, so I won’t let it affect my actions here)
I guess we have to vote for OAOW, huh? I agree with Shadow. I liked the psychological aspects, the thrill of the chase. This game feels like it’s more like taking the LSAT than about psyching each other out.
I’ve been following along today, but my work situation has gone from underutilized to understaffed. No analysis from me then.
That said, the evidence against OAOW is the best lead we have. Either he’s the killer or he’s a Townie who’s unlucky enough to have two overlaps with the lying killer. I’ll take those odds.
unvote faithfool
vote One And Only Wanderers
Whoops. I forgot to actually vote in my last post.
NETA: **
And I forgot to post in THAT post, too.
NETA:Vote OAOW
…well, or the scum selected one murderer for Santo and a different murderer for CooXies (sorry, everyone, but I’m missing a letter on my hotel computer), and each one had a trait overlapping with OaoW.
He may well be scum, but I don’t see any advantage to lynching him early. A post history and analysis would be useful, but I don’t have the ability to do one until I get home from vacation.
Storyteller, by “early” do you mean early toDay before the allotted time, or as in this early in the game, let’s not lynch him toDay? :dubious:
The unique traits are in blue, and the killer traits are italicized.
Of what is revealed on the dossiers, **Kat ** and **I ** are the only people who share the same traits that have been given in the death scenes.
Well, except that Cookies’ death scene indicated it was the same voice as from Santo’s vision.
Vote OAOW
Yep, good catch! I totally spaced about that part.
Vote OAOW.
8 - OneAndOnlyWanderers - (Hal Briston, Hawkeyop, sach, shadowfacts, Pleo, Freudian Slit, Kat, HockeyMonkey)
1 - Diomedes - (Faithfool)
1 - Faithfool - (Dio)
Only one more vote for OAOW and the 12 hour countdown will start. 2 more to end the Day instantly.
How bout the fact that if we don’t kill OAOW and he is scum then they can keep using for night kills. Thus we won’t get any new dossier information. If they have to use someone else, then we will get info on a new person. Maybe even get lucky and get a public trait.
I’m convinced by the evidence presented. So for now, I’ll put my disquiet about Dio on hold and add my suspicion to OaOW. Sorry you. Therefore…
unvote Dio
vote OaOW
And to our illustrious moderators; it’s no big thing that y’all missed my earlier vote. I’m sure it’s just one of those things between 50 gazillion pages in a thread and an ever-growing spreadsheet.
And that makes nine on One And Only Wanderers. Countdown begins. 9:15 AM CST tomorrow he’ll be executed if no one unvotes or puts an additional vote on him between now and then.
Enjoy,
Steven
Is there any reason to put OAOW on the clock so quickly? I don’t like speed lynches.
Hm. Interesting. I did not catch that upon first reading.
The evidence is pretty convincing, but I’m going to withhold my vote for the moment, since any extra votes will hasten his already hastened lynch, if I’ve understood the rules correctly. I feel like a lot of players, myself included, have not been able to check in very often this week, what with the holidays and all, and I’d like to have as much time as possible until the actual lynch, in case OAOW presents a defense or someone else has some other insight. (Not me, though, sorry; I have a suddenly scheduled interview tomorrow to prep for and a headache to boot.) I know abstaining from a vote seems sketchy at best, but I agree with Rysto about not liking speed lynches, so … bite me.
