It doesn't make sense for the villager twothree to finger someone unless he knows the person is a wolf

I hate to confuse things more, but what happens if Anxiety is a mutant? We don't know that twothree would spot a mutant in a scan, but what if he can? This would lead to us killing a mutant tonight (semi-good) and human twothree tomorrow (very bad). That would be two more human kills and probably two more human deaths at the hands of the Chaos. That would be a very bad start for us if it happened.

If Anxiety turns up a mutant, thats suficient for me to not go after twothree. I actually assumed by twothree saying he turned up abnormal it meant he likely was a mutant.

I think Lynching a mutant isn't a bad thing for us.

I think lynching a mutant is better than lynching a good guy who can detect mutants.

It is certainly better than lynching a normal human, but it helps get the Chaos get their ratio. I'd personally like to get a Chaos or two before hitting the mutants, but either is better than another loyal human.

I think you and GE are both missing the mark on this one.

If you have a known Chaos you lynch him. no questions
If you have a known Mutant you lynch him if you don't have any surefire Chaos to lynch.

In no case what so ever do you take a gamble on someone else and possibly hit a good villager instead of a known Chaos or a known mutant.


Anything is better than taking a risk at killing a good guy and ignoring a known bad guy.

1 thing that makes me wonder is if he was leaning to voting for grey today, why didn't he scan Grey or GE last night instead of anxiety?

Either way though, only really possible votes I think are based on if you believe twothree or not. if you do, you vote for anxiety, if you don't you vote for twothree.

I think risk/reward though we need to vote for anxiety. If twothree is good and telling the truth, anxiety is bad and needs to die. If Anxiety is good and telling the truth, he's likely a night target soon enough before his power is useful again anyways.

Even though I don't know how much I trust Twothree just yet, I think this vote needs to be on Anxiety.

I was basically scanning people that made me suspicious but that I did not have a clue what faction they might be.

I didn't scan greyroofoo last night because at that time I thought he might be a chaos lord. I did not scan GoldenEagle last night because at that time I thought he might be a villager, or a corrupted villager.

I did not scan you, Alan T, last night because at that time I thought you were a mutant or a misguided villager. I still do. I did not scan saldana because I thought at that time and still do that saldana is a mutant.

All of that is just my opinions and guesses. I scaned Blade on day 1 because I did not have any type of read on him. I scanned Anxiety on day 2 because I did not have any type of read on him.

BrianD
08-31-2006, 02:26 PM
I think lynching a mutant is better than lynching a good guy who can detect mutants.

Given those two options, lynching the mutant is better. But should we be looking for a different option?

I still think we should vote to lynch Anxiety, but only because I think the scan will show him being Chaos.

If we kill all the chaos players before the mutants are dead, does the game end right away.

In that case, this may sound crazy but, let's assume twothree is correct and he has hit upon Anxiety as a Chaos player.. would it be worthwhile to let Anxiety be for the time being and see if twothree can root out a second chaos/mutant player?

Or, if we assume twothree is the seer, do you lynch Anxiety and then leave the second one alone?

Of course, this is if we are wanting a total victory and if the game ends right away which I'm not sure of.

Tangle?

The result of my scan is normal or abnormal. I believe, but am not 100% certain based upon the wording of the PM that abnormal equals chaos or mutant, but that I can't tell which.

If I had a second positive scan to go on. I could compare the two and see if the resulting PM was different for a mutant or for a chaos lord.

The game ends when all the chaos are dead.

That said if we believe Anxiety is chaos, we lynch him. No good reason to leave a chaos member running around when you haven't lynched anyone but good guys so far.

I think we need to actually kill a chaos or mutant before we start talking at all about leaving them alive to ensure a "total victory"

Anxiety's death will tell us alot about 3 people. GE, Twothree and Anxiety. That is worth his death.

Good point. I wasn't sure about the ending of the game and when that occurs.

BrianD
08-31-2006, 02:37 PM
Yes, if Anxiety is Chaos, we have to lynch him. We can be cute with the last Chaos and go for the total victory, but I don't think we can be cute with the first one. Plus, wasn't there something about a Chaos demon in the game as well? Some sort of super-Chaos member? If Anxiety happens to be this super-Chaos guy, killing him will be a big help.

Fouts
08-31-2006, 02:38 PM
GE, cronin and I were locked up, so we had nothing to do with Fozzie's death.

You still say that you and grey talked about blade being good, but grey already admitted that was hogwash.

Anxiety is 1 of 3 people that I already distrust due to voting paterns. While I'm not sure why twothree picked anxiety, if he was bluffing, he could easily have picked somebody that was more in the spotlight to say was abnormal.

I won't be pushing for any lynching today, but I will make my vote.

vote Anxiety

What did your read on Blade say?

I did not have a read on him, I was just suspicious of him, but could not place him in any faction in my mind, that is why I scanned him. If you are refering to the scan I did on Blade, that came back that he was Normal.

That is why I jumped to Blade's defense. My first scan of a normal player, and the very next day, saldana casts the very first vote for someone I now knew was normal. And, saldana had cast the first vote for realdeal. Either saldana was incredibly bad at guessing who the chaos lords/mutants were, or he himself was one.

I wasn't going to be around all day, but Blade said he had evidence that would support his case. So I went with Blade, again the only person I knew who was normal, and voted for saldana.

I think the biggest thing that puzzles me is there sure are alot of people with roles roaming around at nights. If twothree is telling the truth, then what the heck was Grey and GE up to? I guess things are explained easier in my head if twothree ends up lying about being seer. If thats the case, we will deal with it tommorrow.

If this was the case, why didn't you scan saldana?

If you are refering to scanning him on night 1, I was not suspicious of him and he seemed like a villager to me. Blade was more suspicious in my eyes.

If you are refering to scanning him on night 2, I thought he was a chaos lord or a mutant, after he got Blade killed. I thought I would be dead in the morning. So, following my strategy, I looked to scan someone who was suspicious to me, but that I could not place in any faction.

No, I don't think you're missing a clue at all. I just am not as important as I thought you were hinting at. So far this game I'm just another villager who happened across some lucky clues and read them entirely wrong to help kill another villager. I barely know any more about whats going on then anyone else.

I do however have a couple of people who I will defend at least right now to keep them from getting lynched. Yesterday unfortunatly just hit on one of them.

I think fozzie hinted several times yesterday he was pretty important and if GE had a role like his, he might be important too. My guess was they wanted to pick off someone who was under the radar, human and important. Both GE and I have some heat on us, and many people don't know if they should trust either or both of us.

For instance, I still don't know if I should believe twothree or GE or if there is some possible way in this universe they both might be telling the truth.

I figured since the start, just going by role descriptions, and if they were all villagers, that...

The Inquisitor General of Ordo Hereticus - SirFozzie
The Inquisitor General of Ordo Malleus - GoldenEagle
and myself
The Master of the Astronomican - twothree

would be the major targets by chaos and the mutants.

Well thats why I am unsure about Goldeneagle. I still think night 1 there had to have been a conversion. GE seems as likely a target as any. They convert GE night 1, knock off fozzie night 2 makes sense to me.

If I was the seer, why would I be arguing to lynch Anxiety all day?

I think I would be much quieter if I was the seer. I tend to die day 2-3 every game either by my own team or by wolves because of how much I talk.

I feel bad for the game where I actually am the seer, I think we'd likely lose as I die day 2.

Alan T, if you are the human seer you need to come forward and say that you are.


Sorry for the triple-dola... but I'm typing this as I am trying to piece it together in my mind.

My timeline today:

Twothree says he is the seer. I think its kind of early for a wolf to do a 1-1 swap just to get anxiety killed, so give twothree the benefit of the doubt and assume he is the seer.

GE says he knows who the seer is and its not twothree. I assume if GE is not lying he is refering to either himself or Grey. Even though Grey and he still have not gotten their story straight, still havent explained anything.. but maybe just maybe they are trying to hide something to keep the real seer from being killed.

Now with GE asking questions that he previously said he knew the answer to makes me think he was just blowing smoke about twothree if not to save Anxiety, then to at least try to get us to lynch our seer. Right now I think we kill Anxiety first, then go after greyfooroo as I bet he is more dangerous than GE.

Maybe I'm wrong again, this is just a hunch based on how GE has been so all over the place so far. I was wrong about Blade, might be wrong here too.. but GE is really erratic right now.

If you are visiting and clearing people every night (which I am starting to doubt), why would we lock you up??? I say don't lock him up, he keeps clearing people. Eventually, Alan will find all the good guys for us.

Unless of course, your CoT ends at 3 people. A nice number.

BrianD
08-31-2006, 03:45 PM
As I see it, we have 3 people claiming specific knowledge about people. GE told us that Grey told him Blade was clean. Path and Alan agreed that Alan visited Path and confirms he is clean. Twothree claims to have scanned Anxiety to see that he is "abnormal". There are a lot of people sneaking around and learning about others. I'm still wondering if these three groups of people represent the three teams in the game, or if there are multiple humans learning about each other and causing some damaging paranoia.

You seem to know an awful lot for somebody who is confused. You can visit somebody EVERY night and find out their loyalty. Now that you have cleared two other members, you want to be locked up. You say it will not affect your role, but you obviously visit them.

There are clearly some people grouping up. Alan, saldana, and path. Grey, GE and Anxiety. The rest of us have to trust anyone with info, because these other guys are clearly shady people.

About as much as Anxiety has done. Though twothree didn't come out with a convenient story of "knowing" that Blade was good but forgetting to mention it. I understand the headache (hope he doesn't suffer from migraines..they suck) and busy schedule, but it just seems to convenient. Any one of the non-voters could say that they knew Blade was good but forgot to mention it.


When I played a wolf before, I learned never to mix lies with lies, always couch lies with truth. If I were a wolf, no way I'd make up a lame story, I'd do another fake role reveal or something more convincing. I just don't have anything like that.

I could, as evidence, provide my work schedule and show how a headache (which wasn't major or anything, just annoying, thanks for asking :) ) plus my amazingly crappy trainign schedule has rui9ned my whole week. I couldn't find a couple of hours to write my regular Magic column this week and had to find a substitute. My dynasty hasn't been updated much. Now, if I'm not doing those things, a WW game shouldn't be all that much either. For further evidence of my busy schedule this week, see the opening posts on page one by myself. I'm uber busy through check in here at my residence hall at EMU on Saturday. Then, once I've moved in 500 freshmen in four hours, it'll be much easier.

I never said I offer alot to the villagers. I actually think probably alot of people seem to have cool abilities compared to me. I do think though that I should be locked up with St.cronin tonight.

As evidence that my story all along has either been he's wrong OR he's lying, and I'm not changing my tune, here is a quote from an earlier post: (bold added)


If you are going to vote for me based on what twothree said, I can accept that, although I think his scan is off, if he has a scan at all. But don;t do it because you think I'm quiet and that's unusual or not helpful.

When I played a wolf before, I learned never to mix lies with lies, always couch lies with truth. If I were a wolf, no way I'd make up a lame story, I'd do another fake role reveal or something more convincing. I just don't have anything like that.

I could, as evidence, provide my work schedule and show how a headache (which wasn't major or anything, just annoying, thanks for asking :) ) plus my amazingly crappy trainign schedule has rui9ned my whole week. I couldn't find a couple of hours to write my regular Magic column this week and had to find a substitute. My dynasty hasn't been updated much. Now, if I'm not doing those things, a WW game shouldn't be all that much either. For further evidence of my busy schedule this week, see the opening posts on page one by myself. I'm uber busy through check in here at my residence hall at EMU on Saturday. Then, once I've moved in 500 freshmen in four hours, it'll be much easier.

I don't doubt your headache or your busy schedule. I didn't mean they were convenient, just that your story was convenient. I'm also glad the headache was just on the annoying scale. I used to get really bad migraines (better now that I'm on drugs :) ), and I feel for anyone with them.

As far as crazy reveals go, I've used them in the past with varying success. If you come up with something crazy, you can't accidentaly reveal a role that someone else has. I'd love to ask you to test your abillity again, but I haven't thought up a test that would actually be conclusive...

You just seem to be pushing so hard to be locked up with st.cronin, not just locked up in general. I haven't seen anything from him which makes him worth a special visit, and there are plenty of other interesting people to have a chat with, so why push so hard from him?

I think some of you guys are just confused, are you reading my posts? Hell, I can understand voting for me when someone says "Im a seer and he's different than us" but geez, at least read the posts. Here is the post, quoted vertbautm for you, where I directly outline my soothsayer role. I'll bold the important points for you to check.

Well, twothree, I guess I need to role reveal now :)

Because of my super-psyker abilities, I am a soothsayer, or whatever that role is usually called. (It was called soothsayer in my only other game that used it). I can analyze any statement made and check it against whatthe person beleives.

Yesterday, I asked Blade to verify in a post whether he was chaos or a mutant. He said that he was not. I then asked tangle to use that as my Psyker ability and he agreed. It came back that Blade beleived his statement.

Unfortunately, due to a headache and my severe training schedule this week, I feel asleep last night without being able to save Blade and I didn;t awaken until a little after four this morning.

I beleive I scanned as abnormal because of my psyker status. My limited understanding of this universe and my role info seems to indicate that humans with psyker abilities (which I am the head psyker) have an altered status. I believe that is what you sensed.

However, I wouldn't blame you for thinking otherwise. I have nobody to confirm my role, since I am only the soothsayer, and I can't use my ability again for three days.

-Anxiety


I never used it more than once. I skipped Day One because I didn;t know enough about people at the time. On Day Two, I truthed Blade. I get to do it again on Day Four (2, 3, 4 being the three days according to tangle's pm).

Path, please expand on your interaction with Alan last night. Blade posted a pretty big writeup for his night action.

Without getting too verbatim: I returned to my room last night after locking up you and cronin and immediately fell asleep exhausted. I was awoken by AlanT who had come into my room and who was insistent on proving my faith in the Emperor's cause. I responded with my sincere beliefs about serving the Imperium which apparently was not what he asked for. Eventually my conviction wins him over and he leaves satisfied that I am loyal to the Emperor. I laid awake for awhile trying to figure out what the encounter meant and eventually went back to sleep.

I probably trust path the most, maybe 70%, because he revealed he knew I had to goto the Astronomican in order to use it.

i'm not avoiding the question, i am just asking you to give me one nights worth of leeway, and i will answer it in the morning....the others are simply acting like no questions have been asked.

please do not duke me....if you need a reason why i cant answer right now, go back to the beginning of the game where tanglewood says that things are supposed to be vauge for a certain amount of time. i hope to have a more solid explanation by tomorrow, thats why i am asking for more time....if you are going to duke me, please let me know so i can make my role known before the gavel falls.

twothree
08-31-2006, 08:00 PM
Does anyone else think what twothree is doing is a bit odd? At no point did anyone mentioning him being a seer. He was not a target for the chaos. Now, out of the gray sky, he comes out and claims he is a seer. He says he is afraid he will be killed in the morning. It is a trap.

At this point, the chaos would gladly trade 1 for 1, especially if they could nab the human seer in the process. They probably know that Anxiety has some kind of special powers. If they can get him lynched by the villagers, then they are in good shape. If Anxiety comes up clean, then twothree knows he will be lynched tomorrow.

But the real target here is the human seer. Fouts, st. cronin, and twothree have practically been practically begging for the human seer. They took out Sir Fozzie last night hoping he was it. When that plan failed, they resulted to plan B by having one of their own come forward and say he is the human seer.

Add it all up, it makes no sense that twothree is a seer.

Just so no one has to go looking for it, here it is.

Soon after the council regains order after the discovery of SirFozzie's corpse, twothree announces a stunning revelation. Anxiety is 'noot normal'. Quickly many follow the accusers lead and pile the pressure upon Anxiety, who openly admits that he is 'not normal', but that his psyker ability can be used to help seek out the Chaos, not aid them. Many are skepical. Why would tothree advance such a claim if he was not sure? There is a short debate, but the nearest the council is ever likely to come to a consensus emerges, Anxiety must be killed.

Upon the slow realisation that his death is imminent, Anxiety starts to try and slope out of the chamber, trying to avoid attention. He is quickly spotted and shouts come from the council as he turns and starts to run for it. Fouts slams on the emergency controls underneath his desk which lockdown the meeting chamber, closing all exits. Cornered, Anxiety starts to hyperventilate, blabbering ferociously "You may have found me, but you cannot us all. He is more powerful than any of you. We will stike you down one by one, it is inevitable. Glory to the Cha..." *BANG*. GoldenEagle stands across the room, his laspistol smouldering. He kicks the empty cartridge across the room and strides towards Anxiety's body. "He was Chaos, you could see in his eyes.... But he was merely a follower. He had no power. His Lord still breathes." He then hauls Anxiety's body upon his shoulders and heads towards the window overlooking the the Terran cityscape. With one swift motion, he hurls the rapidly decaying corpse through the glass, then watches it fall the hundreds of miles down into the festering lower level slums. "Rather they are infected than we...."

This should now help us look for patterns and decide who is working with whom. Too bad we can't get another viewing tonight. I hate to say this, but is twothree now useless to us? He can't get a vision from his cell, and he'll get killed if we don't lock him up. At least we'll know we've got a human in a safe place.

09-01-2006, 12:59 AM
That was a dilemma. I figured for tonight at least, if Anxiety turned out bad that I should keep twothree safe for the night, even though it keeps him from his action for tonight. I feel pretty certain he would have been the target tonight -- who knows, maybe tomorrow there will be other options.

Apparently my vote doesn't count before night action, so I won't bother. I will try to get back before the deadline to vote.

Alan T
09-01-2006, 07:59 AM
Ok, I'm going to come clean just in case I end up being the night target tonight. I figure my information out here right now is more useful than the chance of me dying and leaving everyone confused.

I purposely have been confusing people about my role mainly because of how my role is set up. I am the Prince-Primate of the Holy Synod. If you are not loyal to our emperor and his cause, you have to answer to ME. There is no single person that is more important than our emperor, and I will even sacrifice my life for him if the need arises.

Once a night I have the ability to check the faith of another person. If they are lacking, I have the chance of leading them to the light. As you can hopefully understand now why I have been hesitant to just come out and say what I am up to.

The downside for me is that is is painfully clear when I visit someone, they know it as we have a very indepth conversation. What this means is if I visit a chaos, and fail to lead them back to the light, they will know that I know they are evil.

Now, the part I am confused about is twothree claims to be the seer, Goldeneagle claims he knows someone else is the seer. My powers feel very seer like as well. Thats alot of seers running around. My theory yesterday was that perhaps there is one seer looking for abnormal (mutant) people, while I looked for those who lacked in faith (chaos). That is why yesterday I said I guessed if Anxiety turned up bad, he would show up as a mutant. Obviously thats wrong here.

I'm not calling twothree out, I have no knowledge of him and assume for now he is telling the truth. Somewhere in my mind though part of me wonders if he sacrificed a fellow bad guy to gain trust. Or another part of me wonders if there is a mutant seer, chaos seer and human seer (with me being the human).. I have no idea with that.

All I do know up till this moment was that both Saldana and Path are 100% loyal to the emperor. Is it possible one or both are still mutants that are loyal to the emperor? I honestly do not know, as I do not get that information. I do know in the front page it lists people as they die as "Loyal Human" which makes me wonder if there is a "Dis-loyal Human" or "Loyal Mutant" or "Dis-loyal mutant" where I determine the first half and another seer (perhaps twothree) determines the second half.

My target for scanning tonight was Goldeneagle. He seemed the most needing of a scan. I chose to scan him over Greyfooroo with the thinking if Grey did convert Goldeneagle, then Grey might be too powerful for me to handle. Where there still is a chance I might have some influence still over GE. More importantly I am hoping it gives us some information about those two.

Now to tie up some loose ends.. the reason Saldana and my stories didn't match on day 1 was we have no way to corrlaborate on a story outside of this board. I have no PM powers with anyone. I was hoping he would realize the significance of my role and not out me entirely while I backed him being good. So I made it sound like he sought me out. Unfortunatly he didn't catch my hint or something so made me sound like a babbling fool. At that point I wanted to try to get enough distrust to hopefully keep people from killing me at night while still protecting Saldana that day and making enough people believe me about him.

The next day I was nebulous about Path too, but he came right out and said "Alan visited me" which makes it painfully obvious that I initiate it.

I asked to be locked up with St.cronin primarily because while locked up I can still scan/convert people who are in the jail with me, and I felt there was some value from keeping me safe while validating if St.cronin is good or not. I hope if I dont die tonight that I can be locked up with people I can test in the future, as my role allows me to test from jail where twothree can't.

Thats basically all I know unfortunatly. I gave my distrust list (as long as it is) to twothree as possible scan targets yesterday, but the only 2 people I know anything about is Saldana and Path and just that they are devoted to our emperor.

I'm hoping getting this information out here so late will keep me from dying if I was not the night target, but I felt this important to clear up things just in case I do die. Please forgive me for purposely confusing everyone, but now I hope you understand why. I'll likely be alot more forthcoming from here out if still alive as you now understand my role.

Its possible. Its possible he was converted the next night or path converted last night. I'm assuming someone was converted night 1 still due to a lack of a bad guy action, and with still ZERO valid answer coming from grey and GE about what they were up to, thats still my prime suspect (ie: why I scanned who I did).

I think for now, I would rather look at people I know nothing about then people who I at least at one point trusted who later might have been converted though. Just better odds I think. Plus I still think I dont pick up on mutants, meaning they might still be people we want to kill, but for now they seem loyal to the emperor which I think is most important

You awake once more, nervous to the day ahead but pleased that you are still alive. After all, being a High Lord seems to carry some risk these last few days. However, a quick check reveals that one of you has not been so lucky. You all head to path's room to find him lying camly in his bed, head and neck severed. However, as one of you pulls back the seets you spot a presiously hidden third hand protruding from his abdomen. Perhaps there will be no mourning after all.

GoldenEagle
09-01-2006, 09:15 AM
Here is what I think happened. It might be crazy but Alan T sort of hinted at it as well. Anxiety knew he was going to be having a busy weekend coming up. He then said that he could be axed and that would gain twothree trust. If you go back to what I said yesterday, the whole twothree coming out and saying he is a seer was very odd.

But that being said, why would path be executed? So that we could not lock up twothree. It seems like they would have done that to get to twothree.

Well its something I was wondering too.. Path -knew- my role and yet still locked up twothree where he couldnt help any and kept me out where I couldn't scan St.cronin. Even though I asked many times during the day.

But I am just working on hunches, I dont have any valuable data here to provide.

No I think them killing path knew that it would handicap us to not be able to protect people. Thus leaving us at their mercy.

I think they have alot of good targets to go after tonight, from what I can see there are many people out there that provide alot of use.. So I'm not sure who they will try for.. but now its up to them who they go after.

So we've had one of the mutants taken out. I guess we need to thank the Chaos for this one, they actually helped us a little bit. Alan claims that path12 was 100% loyal to the emperor. Does this mean that mutants are still loyal to the emperor, or was Alan just trying to protect path?

BrianD
09-01-2006, 10:29 AM
Alan has "cleared" Saldana, Path, and GE. GE was visited by Grey, and GE was still "clean" after the visit. That is a lot of people. I think at this point I am going to guess that they are all non-Chaos. I don't know about mutant status, but I think we need to look elsewhere for the Chaos.

Mustang
09-01-2006, 10:35 AM
I mentioned it some time ago that I felt that mutants were still 100% loyal to the emperor. The mutants just want change to occur which means they want to survive but, have chaos defeated. That way, they can push change through to make mutations not an abomination.. if chaos wins, they still lose too so, in this way.. I believe they are still for the emperor.

I thought Path kept bringing St. Cronin in to the cell because he thought that if St. Cronin died, the emperor would die right away to? (Thought I remember that in one of the posts.. have to dig back through). I never really thought that was the case that that would happen so, maybe path was always protectin St. Cronin because he knew cronin was another mutant perhaps?

Stinks that path is dead but, still a minor victory as it was a mutant.

And dola, I still don't know what your role is GE, or how you know certain things. But I do know you have the emperor's best interest in mind... I don't honestly have a clue really on anyone else so I can't help in point a finger at anyone right now.

vote AlanT

I'd be curious to hear your reasoning. Do you think he is Chaos or a mutant?

Just a heads up. As I cannot play over the weekend after today, Night 4 will run until Sunday evening. Then Day 5 will be played on Monday and we'll go back to the schedule used in the game so far.

Our next deadline is 9EST tonight for day actions, right?

What is your explanation for voting this way?

I really do not think we are ready to lynch twothree just yet. In my opinion, we should choose one of the following from this list:

1. st. cronin
2. king fc
3. bulletsponge
4. BrianD
5. Chief Rum
6. Swaggs
7. Mustang

Those are in no order. We need to choose on of these 7 and hope we get lucky.

I'm on your list? Wasn't I defending you yesterday? I also mentioned earlier today that I thought you and Grey were clean...or at least not Chaos.

dola,

I'm on your list? Wasn't I defending you yesterday? I also mentioned earlier today that I thought you and Grey were clean...or at least not Chaos.

But if fairness, I did say I thought you were clean after Alan said he "talked" with you, so I guess that dosn't help me.

Personally, I am leaning toward Kingfc just for staying so under the radar.

Also, did anyone see anyone else walking around last night? This could be important.

It is just a list. Everyone on there is not chaos or mutant. That list is also incomplete at this time. But i think it is a good starting point.

I know someone who I know to be loyal to the emperor who was out of his room. I don't know what they were doing, but since I know they are loyal to the cause I'm not as concerned.

I personally don't think Chief is as much under the radar as he is just not here during the conversations every day. He used that to his benefit last game as a wolf, however just because he's not around means he is a wolf this game though.

There are 3 people on my list that i knew were loyal to the emperor's cause. only 2 of them left alive, so shouldn't be too hard. At least 50/50 guess :)

St. cronin

He's had a free ride so far, just jumped on whatever the vote of the day seemed to be without much extra added value.. and for some reason Path didnt want me to have a chance to scan St.cronin last night. Path from the start also seemed to think he had huge value to us.

My guess is the head mutant guy perhaps right now.

I didn't put alot of weight into what Goldeneagle said yesterday. I was 85% sure you and him were both bad. I still don't know much about you, but I am realizing maybe GE wasn't as incorrect as I thought he was after all.

There is no way that twothree is bad. I refuse to believe he outted a fellow Chaos member just to become trusted. I do think he needs to be talked out of voting for Alan though as I don't think that will get us anywhere.
