and you are right Newcastle, it is a slow game, which makes it much harder to find anything to analyze. Right now I have that one post of BB that bothered me.

Lassr, the post was meant to stir the pot. That is why it was kind of vague. But it also was meant to point a finger at some the older, more wylie contingent of players. I consider myself and RMC to be newer additions to the game. So when I say older players, I am more focused on the rest of you. I also don't think NC would have exhibited that kill pattern. Which now leaves a smaller pool. You are my top suspect. Followed closely
by CR and Stess.

anyone else fascinated by Q's posts? I am. And i have an idea of maybe why he was killed...actually i have two divergent either/or theory on why he was killed. I wonder if anyone else sees it, or I am just hanging w/ Rev hempus again!

I have a theory on why he was picked, but hope I'm incorrect. I think that either Q was Othello, or that at least the badguys thought he was.
His first vote on stessier is why my vote's on stess right now.

what makes you think that? Any clues that he dropped that'd make you think that? reason am asking is he dropped that big ass quote at the beginging...then theohall corrected him and saying wrong novel (am paraphrasing). Was actually gonna ask if anyone saw anything in those quotes or if their source is of any significance.
Q also pointed toward holman as well i believe.
Anyone run the numbers if the traitor has crossed over to team evil? 8 left right.....i think we'd be close to 1 miss then right? if the traitor has crossed over? 3 team evil...5 good...we miss...we lose....
if no conversion - then 2 evil, 6 good...and we have till tomorrow...or else we lose.
So i'd almost think we really need to put on our thinking caps...or else we're dangerously close to losing.

Could it just be a quote for atmosphere or is he dropping a hint? These days I find it rare if someone is dropping hints that means anything and is not a diversion of some sort.

Well yes, I do know that. I also know that BB and Chaos did not really push for his lynch at all. Or st least did not seem to.
<shrug> It might be nothing, but usually there is more 'ribbing' between the three.

As far as I can tell, the only thing it does it put you safely in the middle of an ill conceived vote.
Why is everyone ignoring Holman? Think back to your first game. Didn't you ask way more questions than he has? Didn't you post way more just trying to figure things out??

I've been suspicious of your motives before, stessier, and your "look, guys, kill Holman" stuff makes me more and more intrigued.
I'm sorry, but if I'm on a team of wiley veteran badguys, stessier is far up the list as someone worth taking down early in a game.
He's still here.
I'm going to need some real convincing here that my vote is misplaced.

so what i found interestnig about Q's post is that he basically points a finger at 3 people: lassr, holman & stessier.
1. he "humorously" mentions Lassr in context of zombies and lassr is eating
2. He points at holman as well - and wonders if he is playing naively or plw's "fetch me a rope"
3. He also spends some quality attacking Stessier as having jumped on a bandwagon that could apply to stessier.
those I think are the meaty posts of his and i think what could have led him in trouble.
Now to the second phase of this. - Say he was othello - could he have scanned one of those peopel? Would you have? If evil suspected that he was Othello - and were nervous when he pointed a finger at one of those three and they decided to kill him because of that?
Next permutation -
Say he is not evil - but managed to point a finger at an evil person within this context, and evil thought it best to take him out because of such. Could that be a cause for his death?
Next step -
-Say none of the above is true, and the main reason they took out Qantaga was that he made a good target. Say 1. he didnt really point at any of them? 2. It would throw the rest of the group off the tracks and would go after one of the three....in essence laying a false trail for peopel to follow.
Just various options to think about Q is all. LL wasnt around really long enough to really figure out why he was killed. though I will say it was pretty damn mean...taking out a guy after coming back frmo a lengthy hiatus.

What does that matter? Are we going to suddenly try harder now?
I think it crazy to worry about a conversion until we have found an Evil guy. Until then, we're just shooting in the dark with nothing to judge anyway.

as you well notice i just edited the post above - it was for easier to read purposes, just 2 posts above.
I had mistakenly placed Othello in quotes...thereby gargantuating the quote. I felt it was a simple thing to do which wouldnt ruffle any no edit feathers.

why? because of trains taking too soon. People are more sober in their decissions, when they realize the game could be over. Yeah - i'd worry about it and its in the back of my mind. not that we're on any rush here or anythign...just be wary of trains is all.

He and triggercut both seemed to want stessier offed yesterday also for some reason. Are they in cahoots and let us off Remus West, because he is an easy first day target due to relatively recent events? Or is this completely off the wall?
I don't know. Seems to me many are following this advice: Listen to many, speak to a few.

well theres several ways to look at it...
if you are a good guy normal villager...its ok to get lynched earlier...in fact its pretty preferable outside of a evil one...so at times you kind of have to bite the bullet and realize that in order for the good guy team...some good guys are going to die.
-if you are a good guy special - you want to try to survive. If you are a scanner (ie othello in this game) you want to reveal your scans sooner rather than later. Ie around day 2-4 depending on the size of the game and your general belief of your survivability.
- if you are a scanner...even if you have scanned 2 good guys...thats also a very good thing, and especially if they are still alive, since that narrows the pool down significantly of what we have to look through.
if you are on team evil...you got to try your damndest to survive. But sometimes
