I was thinking more that instead of simply voting for Russ or TH because of their behavior, we should attempt to explain said behavior and see where it leads us.

I decided to go the pure speculation route with a role analysis and see if their behavior could match a role, which they did-- at least loosely-- in the above post. While I can't think of any explanation for Russ' actions aside from role which is making me even more weary, the same justification can't be given for TH as easily.

Do we have state it's a guess or if you it posted it counts?

Can you blame him?

No, but it is a little weird to see 22 players alive and only 12 posting. Are puzzles really that scary?

it's not the puzzle, it's just the size of the game. I'll probably continue saying this until everyone dies(or people lynch me for saying it everytime I post ), but this is a fast moving, and intimidating game.
That said, I want to contribute, so here's contributions:

having not seen the show, i don't get the "episode 18" stuff you're referring to, but didn't you just say you thought DH was a detective, or at least might be?

I disagree.

i disagree sorta kinda not really.... I see puzzle solving as a neutral activity from anyone who

Largest ping i've had all game. The strongest memory I have of Epig is from Monty python( or was it doctor who....) where he was killed, brought back to life and immediately began developing strong arguments against Enrique. This post, and post like it don't feel like much of an argument, more of a just mudslinging under the guise of baddie hunting.

DisgruntledPorcupine wrote:My ears are ringing.

Also, I hate to do something over simplified but Russ' very strict daily schedule is making me increasingly paranoid and unless someone changes my mind between now and tomorrow afternoon I am probably going to vote for him.

I agree something weird is here, but i don't think voting is the answer, yet anyways...

Turnip Head wrote:I can think of exactly one person who looked like he was trying to appear helpful regarding the puzzles. It's my buddy Made:

Made wrote:A tip that might help for future puzzles: Phrasing is often similar in roles specifically, so looking for patterns might help.

This was after we were already balls deep in the puzzle. This post screams "Look at me trying to help!" more than any posts from the genuine puzzle solvers.

Well I mean this was exactly what I was doing... Didn't have time to catch up at the time, so i tried saying something so I wasn't 100% useless/absent


Because these are fun (and easy):Pretty pink!

Epi: other than a couple small things, I've found him to be the most logical voice in the thread. i don't see myself voting for him.I disagree, I'd say most logical goes to Bea. For me, the aggression i've come to know from Epi is there, but i find myself unable to get where he's coming from a lot of the time.

DH: I think DH and Epi are tunnel vision where each other are concerned. If one of the two is bad I would believe it of DH before Epi, but I don't see it here either.Vice versa for me. In GoC I figured he was bad very early on, but he's playing a very different game here. Just gonna keep watching this one

TH: I have flipped back and forth so often, but it comes down to this... If any of the people who seem to be implying that they are or simply playing like they are Shinigami, TH is the one I most believe could be pulling the wool over our eyes. He is a much more masterful player than this and even though I used to think he was wanting to be lynched, I've come to the point now where I think it was a ploy and am ready to lynch him.The highest poster theory is an interesting one. I don't remember who suggested it, but there might be merit here, and if we need someone to lynch, it's always a place we could go, along with Russ.

Bea: I have not seen anything that stands out as bad from bea to me, but it is true she would kill SVS. I don't know about LC though. I just don't feel confident in a vote for her yet. I've agree with Bea the most by far this game( also she and Ninjabloop are really good at cutting through my bs) so iunno. I'm keeping my eye here because i know she wasn't lynched in Monty Python till people decided to start lynching the most trustworthy people

Made: what is the case for Made? I think I missed this one.Tldr: I show up in thread right before the lynch happens, say something shifty and leave. I'm a short enough read where you can decide if that's true or not on your own

Russ: his absence yet again makes me willing to vote him. It was fishy the first time around and is again now. have we had other silencings so far? Or could this be his role mechanic for some reason?none that i noticed. I'm thinking role, but not sure what it could possibly mean

I need sleep. Night guys.

DharmaHelper wrote:Made I need a hug my brother help me out

you know the faces that the smiles make before they hug kind make me feel a little off

And now it's 2:30 am and I have school tomorrow ... I'll be back before the lynch.

After thought: I can't remember who it is who gets pinged really hard when i post all sarcastic like. This post will probably light them up like a Christmas tree.
something something Smiley Theorem

Ricochet wrote:Between Made and TH I suspect TH more and will vote there. While I would also consider voting for Russ, especially now that he shadow voted, he clearly isn't going anywhere today with just one vote, so I have to choose TH between the two as well. Their behaviour is completely different, yet possibly linked to the same secret priviledges, but I guess we'll see.

Turnip Head wrote:Welp, it's been a lot of fun guys. I had a good run. New playstyle = almost a success, I guess. Not really :P I still think Epi is Kira. Russ also needs more attention because there's clearly something going on there.

Thanks for the game MP! Good luck detectives!
