Right, anyone got any ideas where to go from here?
My awesome suggestions:
1) We can continue down the path we're going, and off the remaining supposed "Mockra Crew" - seems D'riss and Emurlahn are most people's favourites...although I'm not so hot on Emurlahn at the moment. And D'riss strikes me as symp if anything at all, not killer (at least, not before Mockra's death)
2) We look at the low posters/force them to speak by voting on them. Problem here, as has been pointed out, is there's very little to accuse them of, primarily because they've said so little. Of those, my gut feeling suspects Ampelas and Korlat. No hard evidence though.
Earlier I posted the only real posts of Ampelas's that had anything. A questionable statement and that is it. Which isn't very much to lynch someone over on day 5.
Unfortunately we dont have much to work with at the moment. And it will be really easy for the low posters to come in and parrot whatever we've said and give the standard 'oh no the finder is dead' type input. We really need for people to be around in order to analyse the way they react to trains and lynches. There's like 10 people who havent stood out at all this whole game
Here Tennes mentions that he looked over Ampelas. I also found one, but don't seem to have pasted it here, where Tennes mentions his gut feeling tells him that Ampelas and Korlat could be scum. Bear in mind, though, before we write off Amp and Kor, that either of those two could have been symps which Tennes knew nothing about. But I've also pasted below more stuff which could be taken as evidence that Amp is ok.

The theory amp put forward might also explain Meanas's initial code/signal thing, she was mentioning something that Shadow brought up, but let's try not to retcon info. I see Tennes hasnt had a reread done on him yet, I was going to but I think looking at Meanas's early game again might be a good move. Will check Tennes if I get time, my main motivation is that i cant really remember him saying anything significant. Not scummy in itself but he does seem to be cruising.
And the way emur keeps dropping from sight is maybe a little suspicious.

I'll take a preliminary look at Tennes while you're doing that. Might not get as much as you would, but hey, I'm trying to contribute now

Here, both Serc and Ampelas say they'll look at Tennes.

Have to go now, probably be back later tonight.

Nothing much else to see with Meanas, other than all the stuff I fished up making my case against her. The ridiculous case against Shadow could have been distancing/signaling, it did only start after Mockra died iirc (which means my above post should read game day three my apologies) She did get pretty pissy with him for no reason and knowing it was Gem still confuses me. Trying to draw the killers attention with something most people would dismiss as a confused inno might be an explanation.
Skimming through Tennes didnt reveal much either. Lots of RP day one, he did pee on Mockra's leg, but was pretty involved with a bunch of other players too. Then gone for the weekend. Some attempts at cases, nothing concrete; as well as a couple of fairly reasonable thoughts and reactions. Nothing to clear him of anything, but nothing to indicate a scum either.
Yeah, got the same read from Tennes, but I noticed his first vote was for Emu. First vote, in like his 3rd post. Kinda fits with my theory that symps know the current killer, and one other symp.
And now I must go.
And here both Serc and Ampelas come back with ambivalent reactions to Tennes. Nothing suspicious in and of itself found by either Amp or Serc, but neither really dismiss him either. Next thing, a post from Tellan:
Tellan, on Apr 29 2009, 04:28 AM, said:
ok, just caught up.
something I don't get.
we are asssuming, there were 2 paired killers to start with, yes?
and then, if one dies, a symp replaces him, so that the number of killers is always constant?
in that case, may I ask, what good are our paired guards untill we are down to a sngle scum?
btw, I'm not sure where people got evil guard from--Bent didnt' mention one, so I never thought Mockra was anyhting other than a killer.
my reasoning ( I realize it's not the strongest) is that I don't recall ever having a game where symps would keep replacing paired killers.
so, i'm going off the the theory that we have 1 killer at a time, and a large number of symps. i don't know how Bent determined the order of thier promotion, bu tthere is probably a set order, which they follow.
as for the current cases, I didn't look especially carefully (moving a room worth of stuff from one city to a different one 300k away, making a trip there and back is tiring as hell), but from what I saw, I liked Tennes' case on Emurlahn. I realize that me going against a coaster will sound hyppocritical, but there it is.
Tellan liking Tennes' case on Emur. And yes, I do realise the irony of this coming from me, and I will get to that again in a bit.

Welcome back Ano, any thoughts?
I'm in a bit of a quandry as to what to do since the contamination of mod knowledge changed the way I was thinking about the game.
weird cross post, i am pretty much lost now. the way bent worded the pms made me initially think only one killer and loads of symps, but with the consensus agaisnt that i guess pressure is back on shadow.
I dunno if there's a consensus on paired scum. I for one have no idea one way or the other, which is my I'm so lost at the moment. Ruse suggested that there had to be paired scum because we had an NK the night Mockra was lynched. As I said, there are ways that Bent could have gotten around that. The problem is that we cant tell for sure either way and each situation would require different courses of action.
If any of the people that you have guarded since Mockra died come up scum, then we know there are definitely paired scum. That's three players now though, which is more than we can afford to lose at the moment, and even if they all come up inno, it doesnt prove that there arent paired scum. The only way to do that would be to successfully get a guard through. I would really like for the killer to be a single player with lots of symps, since that makes it much easier to cross players off our list. WCS is that the killers are paired and noone is cleared right now

Feck.
If we work off the assumption its one killer and loads of symps then tellan and shadow are definitely not the killer at the moment but gamelon, serc, omtose, telas, tennes, korlat, ampelas, emurlahn and ruse are possible killers.
out of those tennes and korlat where both absent for large portions of the weekend and indeed tennes missed a day night cycle so couldnt be a solo killer either (or at least are not likely to be). Serc was mentioned specifically by meanas, while emurlahn was linked with mockra.
If we work on the assumption of paired killers, pretty much everyone is a suspect and could be a killer.
This was an excellent point by Anomandaris regarding Tennes and his absence, which I think just about confirms we have/had a killer pair.
As for other interactions/references:
- Liosan joked with him in RP.
- Emur joke-votes Tennes.
- Mockra made a comment about him during RP. Those evil scum!
- D'riss in RP
- Ampelas in RP.
- Tellan voted for him in order to get him to contribute very early on.
- Soon after I said I looked over Tennes' posts and noticed he'd disappeared since RP.
- Ruse mentions that Tennes' behaviour is sort of the opposite in what he noticed and made him suspect Kessobahn.
- I then had the misfortune to agree with Tennes when he was arguing over why Fener should be lynched (this was before Fener revealed finder). Tennes' argument, about Fener continuing to distract us from absolutely everything else, and was quite similar to someone else's arguement, thought I don't remember who, will have to go back and take a look.
- I haven't posted it, because it was indicated recently above, the biggest indication of Tennes' thoughts came on April 28, 08:28, and is also WIFOM heaven. However, I think we should look at it more closely, and I will after I've done this.
So: Of those still living, I didn't find any interaction with or mention of Tennes in the posts of Korlat, Gamelon, and Omtose, but I admit my search could have been more thorough, and additionally this by itself means nothing at all.
