agreed, at this point no-one knows who they or anybody else is chained too, later on in the game when there are fewer numbers left we may be able to deduce who we think is chained to whom, but this is what makes it all the more interesting at the moment, with everyone in the same 'blind' position in respect of who they are chained too, we all have the same chance, as far as we are aware, of activating our own collar.

we are never going to be able to deduce who is on each chain. maybe theirs a chain finder ability out there but at no point will we be able to logicly assume whose chained to who, we might be able to guess, and we may guess correctly, but each guess is a shot in the dark.

Unless someone has a chain finder ability we are best of ignoring the chain effect as we cant predict it and shouldn't let it influence our decision


@liosan ive looked up HP and as far as i can tell your case is all about him jumping on your joke vote early on. It was early on in the day, but to me it looks just like a day one play. I'll keep an eye on him ( and everyone else ) but Its not scummy enough for me to jump on HP right now

[Ampelas]

ok so looks like we managed to lynch omtose with about 7 votes in 2 hours Il wait till we get the result back and night ends, but there definitely seems to be something going on near the start of that train.

That's not all that surprising, considering the typical fear of lack-of-day-1 lynches. I wholly support the motion!

[Ampelas]

Yeah getting a lynch was a good thing, not saying anything against that. It just seemed a bit iffy near the start of it when i looked back.

[Sorrit]

I can't imagine that many people following someone though, it'd have to be town and there's no way that many people know someone. I think everyone just doesn't mind hopping on a lynch on day 1.

[Ampelas]

yeah the hopper's at the end could be either i think. Im more concerned by the people near the start like Fener and HP i think. Will do a proper look though when i wake up tomorrow though.

[Galayn Lord]

generally, it's votes 2-5 that are the iffy ones. they are the ones that "build" the train, and once it gets momentum, the result becomes inevitable.

[Barghast]

I haven't had the chance to get on since the forums were down. Good to see enough people were able to get on to get a lynch in.

I'll do a reread once we have some resolution.

And yeah, especially on day one, it is very difficult to pick meaning out of the later votes on the train.

holy hell...we got a lynch! I just hope that Omtose is tied to HP

Really, a vote for omtose because of a bad case? a vote for omtose because of silliness?!vote OmtoseBecause there seems to be little choice in the matter this day. If we want a lynch, this is all we have.

It's day... what do you expect... generally scum don't just fall into our lap.You're vote "Because we have little choice" is just as awful as silliness or a bad case. I know your horse is rather high, but you really should consider getting off of it. pot...kettle...etcyour little holier than thou vote smacks of scummy righteousness

Sorry Liosan, misunderstanding here. I worded it as a dry joke. I was just hoping to highlight that there was little reason to really vote for Omtose. The reasons (silliness, bad case) was really all we had.

As for the train building, it can be seen as a shared understanding that a lynch, even based on what was available (very little), was better than none this day. It was surprising that a there was a lynch.

[Path-Shaper]

Ok, I'm here now. Please allow me a few minutes to figure things out.

[Path-Shaper]

It is Day 1.

16 Players still alive: Ampelas, Barghast, Fener, Galayn Lord, Hood's Path, Kalse, Korabas, Liosan, Merrid, Omtose, Osseric, Rashan, Ruse, Silanah, Sorrit, Tellan

9 votes to lynch, 8 votes to go to night.

2 Votes for Osseric ( Silanah, Omtose )
1 Vote for Fener ( Hood's Path )
9 Votes for Omtose ( Ampelas, Fener, Tellan, Ruse, Liosan, Rashan, Kalse, Osseric, Merrid)

Players not voted: Barghast, Galayn Lord, Korabas, Sorrit


Omtose did not even protest weakly as the frightened mob descended on her. She sat in a dull silence, eyes wide and uncomprehending as the rope wound around her neck. Afterwards, the mob decided she deserved it anyways, since she didn't even struggle.


Too bad she was innocent.

Omtose (Vengeance) is Dead. He was an innocent schoolgirl Somewhere inside a collar of another student under plastic and silicon, a little red light went on....


Resolving night...

[Path-Shaper]

After wrapping themselves up as tightly as they could to keep warm through the cool tropical night, the students awoke from fitful sleep to find another of their number slashed open from ear to ear.

The students were feeling pretty frightened, thinking another of their number was gone until one student noticed a small wire protruding from under the girl's arm. Linked to it was some sort of miniature radio transmitter, with an insignia stamped on the side. A mark remarkably like the one the woman who announced the game was wearing. Feeling a little better about things, the girls set out in an attempt to survive another day.

Ampelas (Giles) is dead. She was not so innocent...

It is Day 2, 36 hours remain.

[Merrid]

not so innocent? is that scum or is that town with an ability?

if its scum then it looks like scum doesnt know whose on which team

Radio transmitter sounds like there's communication involved, but IIRC Shin said there's no info in scenes so not sure if that's reliable. As for the insignia, I would imagine it points to scum, as it's the same as the person who started the game i.e. selected all the psycho-killers. Besides, if Amp wasn't innocent, what was he? Town with an ability would probably CF as town, as would symps presumably, and I can't think of anything that would cause a non-town CF for a townie. I'm more interested in how he was killed. I'm guessing either vig (unlikely on Day 1) or scum targeted their own, which would perhaps suggest the opposite of the radio transmitter reference. It wasn't a collar ka-boom, since unless it was set off at the beginning of the game (possible I guess, but can't think of a reason why), a full day-night cycle wouldn't have passed.

[Barghast]

So we lynched one inno and likely one scum hit another (if anyone used a vig this early it is only thier blind luck that will keep me from throttling them). If it was scum hitting scum, then they do not have off thread coms. In that case I would assume one scum does know who the others are, and possibly has a collar deactivating ability. Eg. a symp with a bonus ability to keep his masters from dying too easily.

There doesn't seem to be much in Amp's posts, or those of HP and Fener (the two people Amp accused of being scum) so my guess at this point is random bad luck for scum on target choice.

[Galayn Lord]

sweet., a dead scum!

now, how many we guessing there were to begin?

[Hood's Path]

My first thoughts at seeing 'not so innocent' are that Amp was scum, but if scum don't know each other shouldn't there have been more than one kill? Although two NKs would be excessive in this game. We definitely shouldn't be making any assumptions about the makeup of scum, it looks like things might be a bit more complicated than the OP suggests. Alternatively it could be roled inno, but that it highly unusual.

Lio, you've been constantly dropping my name as scum and even gone as far as to say you've posted something to spoilers that we will be in awe of. If you have such amazing proof of my guilt, why don't you 1) post it here 2) vote for me? Because what you are doing now is classic symp play, constantly keeping the thread's attention on a player without moving to eliminate the distraction that you have now set up.

vote Liosan

Since I have no idea who you are symping

[Korabas]

Not so innocent?

Could this maybe be someone that had their own winning conditions?

I dont see how killers would not know each other in this game they are already playing russian roulette with each kill they make

I suppose it's possible, what is the TMDI for this? It's already pretty crazy without adding in a third faction.

[Path-Shaper]

There is NO third faction. Just town and scum.
