Was anyone at n-4 or higher? I thought Chaos dropped below 7 votes. I think KK may have hit 7...but really? Using R2's one time on him?

Well, this ought to be interesting.

I think it depends on the vote count when the PM was submitted, not the vote count when the PM is picked up by bb2112.

Not sure where the vote counts were but that suggest R2D2 (and Yoda?). Which suggests that whomever was close to dying was Empire and whomever is the pretender between Chaosraven and Scoop is R2D2 and figured they may as well use their ability if they are going to get the noose themselves tomorrow. If the vote count was 1 away that only implies Yoda or Dooku. I'm split between which of them would be the most likely to vote.

On the plus side, unless I'm missing something the rebels have used up their R2 ability for the game (and this confirms that R2 is in the game, I think).

The Scoop to N-1 Train:

1. Triggercut (Me. I'm Empire. First to jump off the Scoop train.)
2. Unagi (Refuses to vote on CR, considers me to be completely Rebellious, suggests poking silents...no idea which way his wind blows.)
3. Stessier (Silent as the grave until CR builds a following and refuses to vote on him, suggests poking silents)
4. Lassr (Has pinged my Rebeldar as hard as anyone, seems to be joined at the hip with stessier, refuses to vote on CR, suggests me as a target)
5. Kenetickid (First on the CR train. Pings Empire to me.)
6. Chaosraven,
7. Pr0ner (Pings Empire to me for now.)
8. Remus West (Refuses to vote on CR before Scoop's reveal, no idea where he stands ATM, pings misguided Empire to me for now.)
9. Grundbegriff (Has been absent over the last 36 hours or so; originally pinged as a Rebel to me, I lean towards thinking him Empire for now.)
10.coopasonic (Last vote on Scoop, willing and ready to vote on CR. Pings completely Empire to me.)

Voters in the Scoop train who voted for CR:
Triggercut, Kenetickid, coopasonic.

Voters in the Scoop train who flatly refuse to consider CR:
Unagi, stessier, Lassr, Remus West

Voters in the Scoop train or who voted for Scoop later who are in the middle and haven't expressed either way particularly:
1. pr0ner (on Scoop Train, no idea on him.)
2. Semaj (not on scoop train, but voted for him later. no idea which way he's swinging.)
3. Qantaga (seems reluctant to vote on CR, but hasn't expressed the vehemence of others.)
4. Grundbegriff (Pushing hard for tru1cy, but awhile ago. Mild opinion questioning CR though.)

Players who weren't in the Scoop N-1 train but seem willing to vote for him:
1. theohall (Pings empire to me, willing to vote for anyone to get a lynch on day 1; equally willing to vote for Scoop or CR)
2. LordMortis (Strong against Scoop, but willing to place vote wherever--including apparently CR--for a lynch on day 1)
3. El Guapo (Voted for Scoop, voted for CR. Pings Empire).

Players on CR but not on Scoop at all:
1. RMC (No idea right now.)
2. Newcastle (No idea right now.)


Folks who aren't in on this:
Bubbles, tru1cy, Isgrimnur

Your combatants:

Chaosraven, Scoop.

Interesting that triggercut does not list a single player as "pings Rebel". Everyone either "pings Empire" or he has no idea. Being careful not to stir the pot against yourself there triggercut?

If CR is lynched and comes back Empire, your prime suspects:

Scoop, obviously. Must be lynched or killed.

then:

1. Triggercut (but I did *start* the Scoop N-1 train, which CR has forgotten or hopes that you have.)
2. RMC
3. Newcastle

Lesser suspects
1. El Guapo
2. Theohall

Non suspects who voted against him:
1. Kenetickid (was in the Scoop N-1 train)
2. coopasonic (actually put Scoop at N-1 with his vote.)

Today (IRL today, not game today), yes. I meant that Scoop's the only one who has hit n-1 *at all*, when he hit it last week, right? If so, since Scoop didn't hang then, if no one else has hit n-1 that means 100% that R2's ability has been used.

n-2 could be a combo of Dooku and Yoda both voting the same place. I'm not sure if we will have a way to tell the difference between them doing so and R2D2.

bb2112, will we be told the total number of votes?

If Scoop is lynched and comes back Empire:

CR MUST be lynched or killed posthaste.

Then:

The prime suspects:
1. Lassr
2. stessier

Second tier:
3. Unagi
4. Remus West

Minor rebel suspects:

1. Grundbegriff (hasn't been active enough of late to get a read)
2. Qantaga (really don't know)
3. Semaj (really don't know)
4. pr0ner (your guess is as good as mine.)

I'm wondering what the math on letting you both live for how long is. One of you ought to be giving us real information. The risk of the overvoting bothers me though and makes my math poor as I can see this game essentially ending today under the wrong circumstance with the wrong 7 rebels in a faction.

Did you ever get to "n-1" mr I may or may not be back before I get lynched at the deadline?

Apparently the deadline has been reached.

So if KK winds up dead then we have both Yoda and R2 around. That doesn't help too much in terms of our game of "whose emperor is it anyway?", but is helpful.

Also I'd strongly suspect that our R2 and Yoda would be amongst the people actively posting this morning / afternoon. It seems improbable that they'd be confident enough yesterday or the start of the day in a KK train developing to cast their ironclad votes for him. Which would include me as a suspect, but what can you do.

If that is what happened, why do you think they were posting? Why not go invisible and just monitor things until you can pounce?

If it really was R2D2 though, it doesn't make much sense. Neither Chaos nor Scoop were vulnerable very long at all and KK is just a random. Now, admittedly, everyone has a random, but I would think the Rebels would be more responsible this early in the game.

Also, are we all so dense that we really can't figure out who the rebel droid is?

Second, shouldn't R2D2 be unaffected by the gas, being a robot and all? Wouldn't he start with knowledge of who the emperor is?
