Right, looks to me like he posted nothing but spam, so no clues there.

My hunch: some fucker has a role which dictates he has to use it really quick or something, so he just spunked it on Shadow. Meh, no way would a normal role be used so quickly.

edit - unless Shadow was the first to vote for someone not in the game, or something like that.

Anyway, off to make tea. Beans on toast. Mmmmm, joy.

I'd say thats possible. It was a day kill after all, perhaps they weren't going to be around againt till night.

I think Bent killed him for annoying spamming.

I don't think that Bent would have done that so early into day one. It was barely 3 hours into the day when he died. Unless Bent had a first person to get to 35 post dies rule in play. But that is such a low number of posts that I don't believe it. If someone had a day vig and had alted shadow then it is possible that they decided to remove someone from their list early. But why would a towny do that before the first lynch.

[Tennes]

Perhaps we have one day-killer and one night-killer. The interesting thing is as far as I know, it is not night, which is usually what happens after a move like that...

There have been enough precidents for day killers that don't make the day go to night for me not to be to surprised by that. It had to be either a quick forced day kill i.e. use it or lose it a day scum kill or a modkill due to obscure rules that are not know to us. I am leaning toward Shadow being alted and either a day vig took him out or the day scum kill. If it was a day vig then I wish that they had waited a little while before using their vig. I mean we still have 30 hours left in day one. You couldn't keep your vig in your pants for more then 3 hours. For shame. The more I think about it the more it become WIFOM.

I would like to hear more from the rest of the players. Thoughts ideas, especially dirty ones

[Tennes]

I think you may be right. Its just WIFOM...

I am wondering if maybe Bent didn't change things up by having the scum kill during the day and not at night. I can't really think of a reason for a Towny to kill off shadow so early into day one. But if he hit to close to a scum that had a day kill then the scum might have taken him out. It would cause more confusion in an already confusing game.

Now now all powerful and knowing Mod. I ment that in a good way. That you might have changed things up by making the scum use their powers during the day. Not that you would change things up during the game.

Unfortunely shadows death is the only thing that I really have to go on right now.

Now, I'm curious to see that JA still has votes on himself, despite 1) that's not a game alt, and 2) he's not even playing (unless he's doing a chicken impression and ninja-signing).

Leads me to think that there is a game mechanic involved in voting for people. Whether they are playing or not (and at this point we don't know who is playing and who isn't), voting for them seems to have an impact.

This game has some kind of returning-to-life mechanic, right? Mebbe something to do with that.

[Gamelon]

The people we definitely know are playing, from the replies thread. We should probably update this as we go.

Shadow 35
Kaschan 25
Emurlahn 18
Mockra 18
Tennes 16
Silanah 13
Korlat 8
Omtose 7
Fener 6
Liosan 5
Gamelon 4
Rashan 3
Ruse 2
Thyrllan 1

i.e. 13 of the 15 left in the game have already checked in.

I'm leaning towards the idea that 35 posts triggered Shadow's death, though there's obviously no evidence for this except a hunch. 35 is a nice round number, and for many people this would not normally equate to about 3 hours. For many people, this could be a couple of days even (i.e. not a stupidly short time)

I thought that all of the voting for JA was a big joke due to him dominating the last couple of games. Of course since the votes are still there it might have been a symp trying to communicate with his killer or some such bull shit that is usually never close.

This a rule that is aimed directly at spammers. Which is fine. I don't think that 35 posts in the first couple of hours of day one is extreme. It was obvious that Shadow was a spammer as his posts lacked content but 35 posts is nothing to get to excited about.

[Gamelon]

But why would the mods keep the votes in the vote count? And add to them? A jokes a joke, but seems daft.

What's your point, exactly? Are you saying you don't think that's what happened... or what?

35 posts is more than most people on that list (I'd say a good 50% of them) will get after 24 hours. So I disagree that 35 posts within a couple of hours is nothing to get excited about. That's a lot.

[Korlat]

actually it was a joke, but when pathshaper put them up i decided to leave, them, i have a perverse idea that if we do vote for ja, something mad will happen

as for the shadow - did i mention - ahahahahhahahahahah

cause despite all the grumbles, getting day vigged or modkilled after 3 hours is very funny.

how are we supposed to know what we are looking for? if we are looking for scum, god knows. we have ages yet, maybe something will be visible tomorrow.

I realise that. What I'm saying is that it's unusual for the mods to keep votes on people who aren't playing.

edit - never mind, misread your post.
