Yes. You stuck to our biological cousins.

What about "gorilla" in the context of "enforcer", "leg breaker", "bodyguard". Or "henchman".

Dear gods, there's lots to read here. Anyone wanna be a dear and give me a basic rundown of any 'cases'?

I'm working on getting through the whole thread, but it's 8 frikkin' pages long already, and all of that likely to be Day 1 nonsense. Plus after having been sick from work for 2 days during our Year End process, I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off this morning, so haven't had much time yet to really dig into the thread.

Galayn Lord was lynched, he was scum. Now we're seeing if we can make any connections from him.

Spammy GL was spamming thread trying to level up. Lynched GL, was scum.

Of course there's a bit more to it than that but it's a good start ;)

Speaking of levelling up, we're not going to make it Level 5 at this rate today. It also looks like we won't avoid going to Level 3, as we're only some 30-odd posts away. But we might want to be aware not to hit Level 4 until after day's end, just in case.

19 hours and 35 minutes left.

12 alive: Alkend, Ampelas, Bek Okhan, Denul, Eloth, Korabas, Kessobahn, Lock, Monok Ochem, Okral Lom, Rikkter, Tiamatha.

7 for a lynch, 6 for night.

No votes yet.

To clear up some of the faction/alignment worries:
the factions in the game are "town" and "scum".

Each town player has [name] - [continent/federation/nation/something else] - RI in their PM header.
Scum has [name] - [continent/federation/nation/something else] - [something else] in their PM header.

The [continent/federation/nation/something else] is NOT a faction, but it might be used for abilities, say:


Quote

Manneke Pis - Belgium - RI

Your abilities:
Level 0: nothing
Level 1: nothing
Level 2: nothing
Level 3: nothing
Level 4: nothing
Level 5: one-time day action: you and all other players from Belgium have a beer.



So about 17 hours left

600 posts needed, this'll be number 329.

600-329 = 271
271/17 = 15.9
15.9 / 12 = 1.3

1.3 posts per alt per hour.

That is however unrealistic. Assume, allowing for time zones that everyone has 10 hours out of the next 17 away from posting chances.

271/7 = 38.7
38.7/12 = 3.2 pests per alt per hour

Posting has been sporadic today. With half the day left, I don't think 270-odd posts are in us. What I'm afraid of though is just about reaching Level 4 with day's end (150-odd posts away), which WCS gives scum their deadliest abilities just before we get ours.

Tiam, do you think you can pull off 3 posts per hour? You managed a respectable 1.3/hour yesterday so it only means doubling your output and a little bit more.

Anyway, I'm away for the next 8 hours myself at least.

Vote Monok Ochem

For what I detailed earlier in Galayn Lord's posts. Yesterday, I was fully convinced there was nothing in the Monok suspicion. But then I was fully convinced GL was town, too. So I figure I was completely wrong about everything ;)

Damn, good point.

And we haven't even had a vote laid so far.

That's the thing, today's been busy, and now I'm off to dinner out and the cinema, so I won't be at a computer. By the time I get back it will be late at night and I'll likely only manage a few posts before going to bed.

We're putting a fair bit of weight on that GL initial post being a screw up. I think Rikkter is right about it though. It fits both Occam's razor and Murphy's first law. (Google is your friend if you don't know what either of those are.)

GL, who turns out to be a henchman, has/had off thread comms with somebody. They wanted to code something. Apparently with the letter A.

I'm going to suggest that it was for targeting purposes. Why would they need to do that if they already had comms? What if the comms were conditional? Power ups need a power to up. Level 0 they could only talk at night. Notice that PS edited the OP to say that the game would start in forty minutes. Was that a response to a plea from GL or his corespondent to let them talk a bit be fore the game started? If so, that helps explain why an experienced player would make that initial post screwup more plausible.

I'm going to add to this but want to get that thought out there because it certainly changes the interpretations of some posts if we assume they could not talk during the day.

I suppose I have to therefore suspect that you're scum who is quite happy with their level 2 power and doesn't feel the need for their second / third / whatever powers at higher levels today

A signalling post with an A in is placed after the target has posted?

I did wonder about the 40min but figured that it was just getting SH in order.

Thinking a little more I actually doubt the night-only lover thing; I didn't check in until hours after game start, how would scum have known to be on exactly at game start in order to talk?
