Take it as an extension to post #737 - Don't want to put my vote only for making a player claim, i.e no real possibility of lynching.

If TB is telling the truth about his flavor, I guess it means another one of the guests is called John Smith? Not sure what purpose should this detail serve. My guess is that nmillar had some info on players names.

Ah right, get it now, bit slow on the uptake there. I suppose it could make sense if he was trying to pass himself off as the other John Smith that he would want to murder him. I don't know how consistent these setups are, am I reading too much into it? What I mean is can you ascribe motives to the players based on who they are and why they are here?

AW hey everybody.
I should have mentioned this earlier but I'm getting on a plane to a different continent tomorrow and I'm going to be travelling for two days so no internet for me!
And I've just realised how close we are to the deadline. I don't think there's any danger of me not being back before the deadline. Hopefully I'll just be gone 2-3 days and I'll try and make it short!

I've been condemning Rob and I've not really had a proper response yet.
Seeing as I'll be away and I'll unvote Robbeasy. But I DO think it's a scummy thing he's done and I want to hear from him.

That's all I've really got to say. Until later! Sorry about this!

Oh f**k, I forgot about deadline. I'll be gone for most of Saturday so we better make some conclusion before it happens.

That's why I was asking. Because it is strange one player has another one mentioned in his flavour but the other one apparently doesn't have anything like this. That's why expected he is holding back something about his role or flavour. As was said before, he may be lyncher, mafia knowing JS is power role and trying to out him or just vanilla with additional info.

Apologies people - i've been a bit slack with this just recently - work in RL has gone mad so having to give that too much attention. I will set aside an hour tonight to catch up and post, I promise!!

I go back to the lynch scene for Baron... specifically mentioning "THE" killer. And the responses I get to investigations. I wonder if there is one, or possibly zero, scum. The rest are some mix of third party roles. Now wouldnt that be interesting.

It might be possible but I doubt it. I think it was more in way, we didn't giot the one who killed previous people (a.k.a mafia) but someone who could kill as well athough he didn't.

I think we shouldn't focus on this as I don't see is as plausible and but we should rather try to catch scum.

Real days fly by, don't they.....

Now that Muttly pointed it out, I'm starting to think something's up in regards to Mafia numbers. I don't think there isn't a mafia, but perhaps there's only one murderer killing us off slowly?

But for now, and until the next deadline at least, I think we should work under the assumption that we're dealing with a regular mafia layout, or we'll never manage to come to a consensus.

Speaking of which, what's up with how quiet it is? I'm hoping Robbeasy's next post sparks some kind of intrigue, because we seem fairly deadlocked and stagnant, and no real consensus on suspects.

And yeah, I know that's hypocritical coming from the prodded guy. But it's been pretty quiet all around.

It is possible that he is making this all thing up and he is the only John Smith. Alternatively, it could just be some flavor text he got which describes how he got in, and nothing more. Hell, we don't even know if his name is really John Smith.

This is probably a crazy opinion, but the whole John Smith thing makes me think the claim is fake. He has way more detail than my PM had (which was just a simple paragraph of flavour), and other players from the sounds of it. I feel like the John Smith thing is just a dodge to make the claim seem more viable.

The only point in TB's favour is the way nmillar was specifically interested in names, and the unknown role of bureaucrat. But even then the name thing could be just another ploy to make the claim more legitimate.

Regardless if it's true or not, it certainly seems to have succeeded in distracting everyone. My vote still stands for now.

Talking of votes.....

Votecount:

3 - Twilightbard (Stuart, Robbeasy, Peanutbrittle)
2 - Robbeasy (Muttly, Itai.sharim)
1 - Muttly13 (Pazzer)

Not voting: Vitek, Twilightbard, Joesapphire

With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch.

Deadline is 1am GMT 5 February.

The consensus is appearing to be that the John Smith thing is probably not important. If it's not then it is a question of whether it's a red herring from the mod or TwilightBard is throwing us a red herring to try and back up a fake / partial claim. I suspect the latter, I need to go over this again and see if I can see anything to back this up or not.

OK - a BIG read back on todays happenings completed...

@pazzer - ok , I can sort of see how it could look odd that I missed Joes question 3 or 4 times, but that is exactly what happened. I have no other defence than that for this reason to suspect me - what can I say?! All I will say is that once I DID notice, I answered it pretty swiftly.

@Twilight - yes it was the itai rolefish i was referring to - you posting a quote that made it look like itai knew more about muttly, then asking him to start talking...are we not allowed to even call out such blatant posts anymore?? I find it exceedingly odd I'm getting grief for pointing out this post...

@itai - you have 3 reasons you have voted for me - I'll take em one by one...

1) 'Hasted lynch of Baron. - nmillar couldnt answer' - It only became clear nmillar had names on the next day - we didnt know until AFTER the lynching of Red. Apologies for not being able to see into the future there...

2) Hammering Red, then attacking Muttly - the hammering of Red was done because he had claimed survivor, and was therefore of NO USE to town. A Survivor looks after himself - no-one else. Has no impunction about lynching anyone, at any time. The lynch was a no brainer. As for attacking Muttly - why are the two mutually exclusive??!! Just because I hammered Baron did NOT mean I didnt suspect Muttly just as much then - up to that point, he was still my main suspect!!

3) Quick Transition to Twilight - so in point 2 you call me out for sticking with my main suspect of the day before, then call me for switching!! Make your mind up. If I had switched my attention to someone else earlier would that have been worse on this point, but better for point 2 itai?? You make little sense.


@Joe - I'm not softclaiming anyhting , at no point have I softclaimed in any way. Reading back and piecing together what Muttly has sadi and done after his claim has led me to believe what he says - if I'm wrong, then hes a very good player, or I'm a very bad one (the possibility I'm a bad one has occured to me though!!). Too much of what he has posted leads me to believe he is telling the truth. Which makes Vitek town also.

My main suspect at the moment is Twilight, but I'm also wary of Pazzer. Joe and Stuart I cant get a solid read on much. Ditto Penut.

Itai would be top of my list except for one post he made where he said he would be HIGHLY against lynching Muttly...

Vote stays with Twilight - something about his claim doesn't ring true, I dont like the naming thing.
