The Horroterrors are basically the Great Old Ones. Their morality extends far beyond our understanding or something like that. In Homestuck its left slightly ambiguous as to whether or not they are out to help the protagonists reach a common goal or just using them for a different end.

Sorry Thad!

So, what does no kill mean? You think it was the scum hoping that we kill most of ourselves off, if they give us no readable clues by killing someone?

Aldurin · 08-01-2011, 04:09 PM

No kill probably means that either someone that can prevent deaths was successful, or the mafia might have decided it was a bad idea to kill anyone at the time.

I'm betting on the death prevention since we did see Smarty's lynching get derailed.

Yeah, but what's weird is that we saw his get decidedly derailed, versus this time, we just wake up and find nothing happened.

That's because night actions are not public, so if the mafia were to say "lol lets kill this guy" and the doctormacillit person was like "NOPE" then we wouldn't hear.

I wonder what's up with last night. We've been given no clues to work with here. On the other hand, free lynch today. Let's not waste it.

It seems like for this game we have the most basic of mafia games. X number of mafias, and townies with a doctor and maybe a police officer for investigations. Means only one death, possible prevention, and again maybe a person that knows for sure who is who. No vigilante for some other kills, no serial killer for craziness, and I doubt the mafians have any special powers besides killing someone. So thats what I think.

Also, the Strong bit is a flavor text thing. One of the trolls in Homestruck was really strong and kept breaking bows that he tried to use, so its that, nothing more to it.

Welp, lets start this debate hard

##Vote: Sifright

Basically, very little posting, voted on easy town targets for lynch, and really no bias on what he thinks I am going with this. I'm casting suspicion on P-sleazy as well, main reason is that if he was truly saying he wanted to protect newbs, he would have realized that Thadius's actions were more the result of the way he posts and acts in general rather than him trying to hide anything in particular, and would've defend appropriately. Feels more like he was trying to sound like a good guy and not make you think bad of him the more I think about it.

rpgdemon · 08-01-2011, 10:32 PM

I'm gonna ##vote: P-Sleazy, since he is still my largest suspect for the reasons I outlined before.

Professor Smarmiarty · 08-02-2011, 03:08 AM

I think our best course of action is to vote for someone who is not very active, mainly because we don't have any leads at the moment besides hunches and active members give you more clues to work with than non-active ones so as the game goes on the mafia becomes more obvious among the active members. They also keepdebate going which is helpful.
Low-active members can impair lynches too and it is a fairly good mafia tactic to just lay low and cruise while the townies kill themselves.
I'm not convinced on any of the other subject yet so unless someone can convince me I'm going to go through and look at everyone's posting record. Might take me a little bit though.

As a heads up, I have spotty internet right now, so I won't be able to do as much in depth analyzing of people/posts as I did before, since I'm doing most stuff via phone, or via leeching wifi from a library.

If I vanish-ish, that's why.
