I have no idea what that means, but of doesn't say you're a traitor, so I assume you're a good guy.

I'm in contact with Law, and (obviously) a seer. I (obviously) didn't die last night, but I understand if you don't want me to share this information with him.

If you do, well, hopefully tomorrow we can bag some baddies.

So we actually get the chance to work together for once? Man, it's been a long time coming. I hope this lasts for more than a day.

I attacked Vertroue last night to no avail, so if you have no info on him, Law also agreed I should have hit him. I identified myself to law already and I'm not dead, so I'm assuming he's not evil. Maybe neutral, but I'll never know.

I'm thinking about driving the vote to Vertroue.

As far as attacks go for your info, I hit Gumpy, Exarch, Tehspectre or Warban, whoever didn't take the vote and then Vertroue.

Sabs let me tell him what I wanted since I wasn't going to be around at the end of that day with spectre and warban.

I'm hoping people will consider voting for the guy. My power is that of a kill, but I cannot kill higher entities or whatever, so it's possible Vertroue is beyond my power to kill. I think the vote should solve a lot of problems and I may consider having Law talk about that.

Who do you think I should go blow up tonight? Maybe I'll have some better luck.

[vertroue]

God damnit why is it me???....Anyway I can see his reasoning, also it is nice to know he can't kill me with his kill off. Also it looks like they are going to push Myself, Obbi, and Ahava tonight, I can guard one of us, but only one.

[jdarksun]

Yeah, you're totally ice tonight vert.

I replied:

I'm not familiar with the source material, so I don't know what "higher entities" would be. But if your kill didn't hit Vertroue, and he's an unknown to Law, sounds like the vote is the way to go.

As for who to kill next - I say go with whoever your biggest suspect is. Check with Law, then start scratching people off the list.

Andrew Ryan only has 10 posts. I don't know if that makes him a good target or not, but it's something to be considered. If Sabs is going to remove him from play, it might be redundant to kill him. If not, he's at the top of your list - gotta start somewhere.

Now I get to sit on my laurels until division 10 comes back up. It's an interesting concept for roles, but it certainly makes being special feel less... special.

Ardor replied:

I guess it does allow everyone to have input to something other than the vote at least. That's something.

Do the divisions know each other? I wonder if the bad guys are potentially spread amongst them and are killing those leaders to inactivate the groups. After all, it's a small sacrifice to make when you could remove uncontrolled kills.

I think the rule of thumb for inactive players is they are 95% more likely to be villagers than bad guys, so I'd rather go after the just-active-enough players, so it should help justify the vote. However, if Vertroue is bad, we might actually have something to work with today, especially if he thinks he's going to survive another attack tonight.

I asked Law to note that he lived an attack last night, which should help us drive the bandwagon home. Hopefully he'll wait until later so we can see a vote split first.

[vertroue]

Well then looks like I can stay alive one more night....I can guard myself.

[jdarksun]

Only if they don't vote you off, right?

[vertroue]

I dunno it would suck if I died that way...

[jdarksun]

I'm not sure how that's preventable at this point.

[vertroue]

True...again damnit

[jdarksun]

More interesting things...

You did get my attack request for Vertroue yesterday, right?

Yeah, but like your role PM said your bombs will not be able to kill high levelled people like Captains, only stun them.

That's what I figured, but wanted to make sure my attack did not work.

Otherwise thelawinator's going to eat me.

Thanks man.

tldr; Ardor can't kill "high level" people like Captains.

[darkblade]

I've posted at least twice every day, why would I be on the inactive list?

[vertroue]

Hahaha so the demolition guy can't kill me through regular means eh?

He tried killing you last night.

[vertroue]

I figured as much, other wise why would he would be stating that I am supposedly "evil"

[jdarksun]

This was private between Ardor and TheLawinator. I got BCC'd because neither of us trust Law.

Subject: Gonna try something

I'm going to hit Romantic Undead I think.

It's an interesting setup which may help keep me safer from bad guy attacks, by increasing the chance the village will vote me down.

Bad guys love having great vote targets. If I can slowly create myself to be one, I might not need a guard.

It's a risk, but hey, we gotta do what we have to do.

Also, I sent you my sgugestion but we're losing time with this inactive game, so I made the suggestion anyways to have people tell you what division they are with.

As you know, I'm with no division. If nobody's contacting you, we're out of good guy specials and this game rotates solely around those divisions. You need to make use of them since that's about all we got now.

[jdarksun]

The same goes for this post (from Ardor to Law, BCC me).

Subject: cj Iwakura

He's either not paying attention or he's playing dumb. I thought it was decently obvious that each division is probably adding to those kills and he's assuming vigs have contacted you.

Is it possible that bad guys have no information about the divisions? I'd have to assume with 2 evil lieutenants, they have to know.

Remember, the best thing that we can do with this information is not act overtly on it. If our source of information is exposed, it dries up.
