I wasn't aware that anybody I voted first for died. That's an awesome statistic.
Oh, yep, its not 100% of course but it's at least 4 in 5, probably 9 in 10 but I assume I've forgotten a few. I was tracking it with a bit of precision way back, but while it did help me find a scummer a few times, better than random, it wasn't worth the effort, so I can't give exact figures anymore. Kind of a Kiss of Death thing though, pretty neat, you and I both had more than 20 vote #1 kills at the time and this was before my last game modding I think, DK had a perfect kill conversion on Vote #2 for that matter, a couple people had perfect or near perfect vote to lynch ratios, someone had a very high hammer ratio. We're still a bit short of 100 lynches I think but about 250 kills, NK or lynch, so definitely some interesting patterns, the attrition rate on this game is so high there'd have to be I suppose, noboy has survived more than 2 out of 3 games, 1 in 3 is pretty good. Gher's been L-1 and survived I think 4 times now, stuff like that. I think I have the most raw kills and kills by heavy influence (early vote, one of the DFs, etc) but the total NKs performed personally is real close, vigs and SKs and all rack up some monstrous kill counts and a lot of times when I'm town I don't know who carried off the NKs, Yuna's killed a lot of people, so has Kronin, Kronin definitely has the most NKs in one game which is pretty impressive considering he was neither vig nor SK at the time, and I believe you still lead the field on most times NK'd.
4) Not too related, but FT's Author question was non-obvious, almost makes me wonder if he's out for revenge on Homer or something.
A very funny thought, but no, I was simply trying to find a question that would be valuable but not too obviously revealing, and this is one that I came up. I feel that most of us would likely answer no, so it would help narrow the possibilities on anybody who did answer yes.
Yeah, I didn't figure it was likely too sinister, it didn't initially stand out to me too much but someone noted the question shortly after you claimed so I roled around scenarios for it, the lead candidate, or at least the most amusing one, was a firefighter/arsonist thing with Homer as either. "Die Homer!" is simply to humorous an option not to be taken seriously, because its totally something I'd do.
5) The claim itself, it is not like FT to reveal info on day 1 about himself except under pressure, except for the Miller Claim in Gher's game which presumably didn't encourage future reveals. Why claim as Odysseus? Was it just because Beet had claimed to know him shortly before that? I can't see him just revealing that without a motive
This is true, but remember that at this point we were already asking for everyone to reveal things through the questions. I already considered the identity claim not to be especially revealing (except for a few exceptions, say Hippocrates) and certainly not in my case, which means it was little difference to me whether I'd be answering a question or identityclaiming. Since I perceived that we might be going for another round of question answering, with possibilities of more after that, I decided to exempt myself from having to do so by providing you with all the character identification I had, so that you could find the answers at your leisure. So it's either laziness or efficiency, depending on what perspective you want to adopt. Remember also that I wanted everyone to identityclaim, and I thought doing so first might create momentum for others to follow suit. Obviously that didn't happen.
Yep, I can't point too many fingers, I was really tempted to go with that plan and nearly suggested it beforehand, of course I rejected doing so because it might be anti-town - officially - mostly I just thought asking questions piecemeal gave us something to do and setup a nice potential minefield, I assumed anyone who was too blatant, Hippocrates, Oracle of Delphi, Bjorn the Tracker of Evil Men, Zogfrey He Who Watches at Night, etc would lie if necessary. I won't say if I'm roled or not, but I do not believe my character would give anyone a clue as to my rolepower or lack thereof. Antigone definitely fits miller but hardly shouts it, I'd have thought Hector would be roled, and honestly my own NKs on stuff like this tend to yield paydirt at just better than random odds, I figure that's either par for the course or better than average so I don't worry about it much.
6) Isn't it odd that FT-Odysseus, who with the exception of his wife usually had very bad times from women, seems more suspicious of the person who claims an era before his as opposed to the person who outright claims to have interacted with him?
Good point, but remember that I'm more focused on the lynching of Bergioyn yesterDay than Darth_Katie's character. I agree with beetnemesis' suspicions, but I don't know that it would necessarily inidcate mafia. I do however feel that lynching Bergioyn when he should have been modkilled deprived the town of a lynch, which is harmful to the town. And Darth_Katie argued in favour of the lynch but didn't vote herself, which couples the antitown intent with a possible scum desire not to be remembered as being on the lynching record of a townie.
That's probably mostly my fault, I figured by day 10 of inactivity that Kronin was probably waiting to decide come night fall or even dawn, ya know, dump a dead NK'd townie into the inactive guy's body as a sub if possible, if not modkill him then, and I don't like pushing for them cause I don't like doing them as a mod either. The alternate option was Scott, and I generally avoid killing newer players unless the evidence is pretty solid (or opportunity if you remember Hopper, I actually felt pretty bad about that but it was just too hard to pass) , and I really wanted the day over with. See above, 'Kiss of Death', though its probably worth noting that both of us tend to have more scummers on our wagons when we do that, probably because its so much easier to justify the vote later. I don't really have a scummer vibe off any of the 3 of you, but I don't get a townie one either, and I'm tempted to include Fox on my FOS list now just because reviewing kill counts has reminded me that an awful lot of the time someone expresses a 'townie vibe' about someone early in the game it's a scummer talking about a townie
Anyway, you've pretty much answered all my questions, as mentioned I didn't particularly figure the answers would have much of an effect on your prob-town/scum chart, an RC might produce something but there's nothing like the evidence to justifying demanding one and barring that there's just not a lot you can say to clear or indict yourself at this time. At this point I basically just want to hear who beet and DK are, not sure that will help us much but it seems inevitable so no point wasting time.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
