Its a good thing you have experience then. You may win this game using it.

People like me probably aren't gonna get culted unless theres a guarantee that I have something they want. Why? Because I talk to much. I also go to the border of death way too often in most of the games.

You're correct. It is about survivability. In fact, you want as few killers out there as possible, or hopefully stir the pot a little if no one is incriminating each other. That way you won't get random killed. And if there's less killers, there's a lesser chance of you being killed.

Knowing how Cult ticks in that fashion and knowing its about survivability, I believe, no, I know, you're the one who just said they wouldn't change their vote from Demetrius until further notice because you want to slow the killing. Gee. Aren't we being a little obvious?

Heh, I was about to say...

Tophat and Ugainus are the two most likely people to have been culted. They've kept fairly low profiles most of the game.

Ugainus wasn't Cult. He was a townie upon death and we all got to see his body. Tophat I can't say, but since you're willing to say Ugainus was likely cult I'm willing to chalk this up as you trying to cover up the numbers.

Fair.

Yeeep. But we're not that far in right now, and its not like the Cult Leader chose to Cultify himself, did he?

You make it sound like you're part of a mafia now too.

Hahahaha! Funny man. I've got a cool quote for you, it sums up my feelings on the matter.
