I might be, for a bit.

Boss is off for basically 2 weeks, so I'm working in crisis-fighting mode, which means this is the first time today I get to actually check in on the thread.

I'm around. I still think Serc's confusion and subsequent tapdancing looks suspicious.

Yeah, for the moment I'm not feeling a Serc lynch. He was only pointing out that Beez would likely have another ability beyond the cusser and that the setup shows that it likely messes with insanity. Since the character bio places Beez as Satan's second I find it reasonable that he'd likely have more than one ability in a game such as this. I don't really see a slip there Ultama.

I think that a player that is expressing confusion about the insanity mechanic is more likely to be an unaligned player or a low ranking member of the enemy faction. That gives me a 1 in 3 of hitting the S.K. here. I'm much happier with that idea.

That's what I don't like about Serc. He seems to be unsure whether it would be the PA or Satan's team.

Ok, did a re-read. Only thing that really stands out is Ano's "poor KF" speech. It just kinda feels like Beelz gloating. But that's totally thin.

Beyond that, this day is doing my head in. Gonna try to get a bit more done, and might check up again at home, or mebbe not.

I think it's more sad for us. They were two of the highest posters.

What confusion? The only confusion of mine that I'm aware of is me exchanging Okral alt for Olar Ethil after he died. But that's not what you're voting me for, is it?

I don't even know what's this mysterious "it" that you're talking about?

Anyway I reread Ano's posts

While in the Dreamlands, all players struggle to remain sane, to not let fear overtake their souls. Each day, each player (except the Phobic Animus) must add 1 point to their fear counter.

The members of Johannes Cabal's faction are rational folk, and have abilities to counteract the insanity.

The members of Satan's faction are irrational demons, and have abilities to empower the insanity.


Okay, I see they are not contradictory. Without knowing who their teammates are (other than their leader), the demons can be inflicting fear on one another as well as on their opponents.


This seems far too late to realise this as a faction member, implies indenpendency.

Also, this vote by KF on D1 came pretty suddenly

Vote Okral

Good chance of being an independent.


It came when he came back after being off for a couple of hours. Inbetween 3 people came online(post #73): Prazec, Ano, Gait

And after KF's vote another couple of votes and the hammer-not-hammer comes. I think it could have been members of a faction seeing their leader as being ready and wanting to hammer hoping some of the enemy players might not have their provisionals in yet with so much time left on the clock.

Now Gait's post signifies unreadiness so I'm dismissing him, Prazec's posts don't signify anything while Ano is going off for hours so he should have his provisionals in.

I don't have Trake's certainity but I see too many theories for this vote to be worth it now

Vote Anomander

Off now and back before timeout

Seems I touched a nerve.Vote: Gait
Cough cough Uh, you should probably remove first.
On a site where votes are counted manually?How petty.Remove voteVote: Gait
Have you considered, I dunno, maybe playing a couple games with the house roles to see how we do things here before just bitching about the house rules?The bolding thing is a courtesy to the mod to make keeping a current vote count just a tiny bit easier.I have no intention of revealing my faction, and furthermore, I don't appreciate you setting me up as your false leader. It's obvious to anyone paying attention that I can't be at this point because revealing your leader on day one to everyone would put your faction at a serious disadvantage and doing so on purpose is pretty much playing against your win condition. So, unless something even dumber comes along:Vote Trake


I need to look back and see if anyone connects with Frame. This was an interesting string of events and I wouldn't put it past Okie to be blunt for game breaking purposes.

That being said, I really doubt without fear status modifying powers, either positive or negative, Ano can be anything but an independent.

Vote Ano

Have fun with Okie

I have no idea what any of this means or what you're driving at.

I'm the only person who voted for House prior to his mass reveal suggestion. With the exception of Lock, all the following House votes seem (to me) to be meta-based anti-House votes and nothing more, despite the various excuses made while casting them.

I trust that a faction wouldn't lynch House if he were their leader, even if they didn't like the cut of his jib, so I rule that out.

No grand conspiracy of a faction (that doesn't know it's constituents anyway). No rush to a lynch before provisionals are in. Just a mad dash to lynch House for the sake of lynching House.

I have no fear modifying powers and I'm not an independent. Doubt as you will.

The question now is whether to reveal or not.

Looks like I'm going down. Won't reveal just in case I am somehow resurrected.

If my passive power is supposed to be fear modifying - well, I didn't read it that way, and still don't.

Not in this case you won't.

Oh, and I'll be around to hammer, if needed. :wallbash:
