Mkay, so looking at the people Sorrit pointed out; Telas, Fener, Korvalain and Silanah in the first group and Telas, Olar Ethil, Ruse, Osseric and Eloth in the second.

Ruse actually signed in several hours before the post that was quoted.
Telas, Korvalain and Silanah have had significantly more posts than the others, although their contrbutions tend to be one to two lines. They have all contributed to the discussions about mechanics and suspicious behaviour.
Osseric has had relatively few posts, but what he has said tends to be much longer, a paragraph or two rather than a few lines.
The ones I see as suspicious: Fener, Olar Ethil, Eloth and to a lesser extent, Ruse. None of these players has contributed anything to the discussion going on. While low posting is not unusual, what does stand out is that Olar and Eloth were signing in and Ruse was signing out around the same time.

Also, there are still be a bunch of people we haven't heard from yet.

Yay! Justification! Now, if only it was aimed at someone else
However, you missed the point. It was not a joke vote, it was a serious vote. And pressure votes shouldn't happen without reason. A vote on it's own is stupid, there is nothing to respond to and the player gets justifiably pissed about it, which is then treated as an overreaction.

And of course I'm antsy, there are bloody zombies around!

It's a serious vote with something (albeit small) to back it up so it's not "on its own". It's also not a justification to get pissed - it's one vote, and there are enough players around at the start of the game to make it not a big deal. That is why it is can be treated as an overreaction when someone gets angry, because it IS an overreaction.

Very odd. Is this some kind of hidden mechanic? Or was someone unable to log in to HP for some reason and has therefore been given a different alt?

[Path-Shaper]

The two alts that have been changed were because of password issues, not any game mechanic.

I see it will be defending my self for low posting all game, I should be used to it by now. Care to explain what is implied in the underlined area? I think you're trying to seem helpful while grasping at nothing.

Normally its that password problems warrant an alt change.
As for my sign in then no posts, I posted the sign in on the way to school, then had classes nonstop in a school with a no phones on during the day policy, then had a lax game, and am now on my way to guitar lessons. Today has been a busy day for me, but I should be on in about an hour or two.
Edit: Xpost with PS about alt issues..

Here. Reading up.

[Anomandaris]

A thought just occured to me - it's not necessarily only the zombies who have multiple alts. Quoting from one of the OPs:

Quote

Survivor - (Higher Time requirement, but very rewarding)

.

"Higher Time requirement" would suggest a multi-alt role - you're going to need to devote a lot more to the game in order to keep several alts on the go at once, after all. Might make sense for one of the other roles to give you multiples as well, I guess. Dunno that it makes sense for any of the human factions though, because all their characters are named (so harder to duplicate in a suitably thematic fashion).

They seem fairly harmless to me.

What makes you say that, Serc? They become harmless if there aren't enough of them to coordinate their actions, but if there are a large number of alts assigned to one player, then they can conceivably start zombifying people from Night 1. As with any cult, you want to neuter them before they get up a head of steam. Although actually, it looks like it's possible for the Lone Avenger to win on Night 1 if he gets lucky, given all the kills in the game. Maybe that's who we should be looking for? Voodoo Master sounds potentially quite nasty too...but in either case it's a needle in the haystack sort of thing.

[Spite]

About fucking time the game started!!!! I'm here and have skimmed the thread. The multiply alt thing looks like the way this is set up. I cant see it working any other way. Now how many per player would take some math I'm not prepared to do. Too frigging tired to do shit. I will be around for the next hour or two.

[Eloth]

I'm done for today, will be back before end of day, no problem.

Look on Page 2 .


I feel like there might be something in it, but then again people do have a bad habit of 'checking in' and leaving without saying anything, which would look very similar. I very much doubt that those 8 posters are in fact just two players with 4 alts each, but it's possible that there might be a pair of alts in there. My instinct is that you'd expect there to be a substance-less alt and an alt with more content. On the other hand, if the alt-switcher is being creative and has a lot of time/multi-tasking ability, they might be able to pull off two convincing voices, I suppose.

Eloth, on 26 April 2012 - 01:12 PM, said:

checking in, it's good to see the early action, fastest serious business ever

Role & mechanic spec, Day 1 is good too

Or anyone of these alts. looks like a player jumping between alts. This is probably too hard a role for someone to play. It's making finding a zombie day one too easy.

I don't personally think that all of these people are zombies. Nor do I think that all low posters are zombies. The idea was that if there is one person with several alts then they may sign their alts in around the same time, especially if they are pressed for time. My further investigation seems to be somewhat inconclusive. The three I pointed out are low posters AND were posting around the same time, although as I said, Ruse had signed in several hours before that. It's just somehing I will be keeping an eye on.

IMO this was a bs post. I don't think Sorrit is really making a case here, he's defending against his roleplaying, which like I said is not the reason why I have a vote out on him.

[Korvalain]

ha xpost with Tulas...

[Karosis]

I'm around for a while, on and off. I am pretty sure that zombies don't actually go Brainzzz!! all the time, I'm pretty sure they go

AHHHHHH!!!! and UUUUUUHHHH and BLAHHHH! and shit. Now here's a very valid question - Do we have the slow walking zombies from Shaun of the dead? or do we have super turbo zombies from Dawn of the Dead remake?

Also -

Vote Hood's Path

Nothing worthwhile to add yet. Surprised by the lack of spam considering how many of us there are. Pleasantly surprised. Mafia is growing up right before my eyes. Ugly little bastard, but well he does take after his mother.

They can eat our brains, destroy our mortal souls perhaps.
HARMLESS.
Perhaps I was clearly mistaken.
