Using the death scenes as evidence for anything is not a good idea. The only thing you should take out of them is who died, and what their role is. Once we start analyzing the mod's posts is when misinformation starts getting spread. There is a possibility that someone has a role where, if investigated, kills the investigator. I forgot what it is called at the moment. So I recognize your possibility that Terra died by using her role, but that is a conclusion we should come to ourselves, and NOT by what was posted by Bahamut.

Ingus could have very well been Irvine's night 1 kill. We KNOW that it wasn't the mafia's kill, or he would have become mafia instead of dying. Under that scenario, Terra investigated the wrong person and died, the mafia killed Irvine, and Irvine killed Cyan. I would say either scenario is likely at this point. There are also other possibilities. I'm just trying to provide input here.

Your scenario still has far more holes then mine.
Why would Irvine be called Killer if he could only kill someone if Lulu died. Better yet, how would the lovers win? By surviving with the town? Of course not, then the loves would be pro-town. Scum kills every night. If there is a Trigger Happy Vigilante, how could there only be 1 death on the first night?

Well I did say it was just a guess. I don't want to get into an Ingus with you because that won't help anything.

There is the Over Eager Vigilante who has to kill every night. I think that's what she meant.

It is possible though that Terra was killed by tracking the wrong person (a Paranoid Gun Owner perhaps?) or it could very well be that there are 3 killing factions in the game. Though now it would become only 2 since Irvine is dead. We'll know for certain tomorrow if 2 people die in ways that suggest 2 killers.

However I'm beginning to look at Barret. Edgar's case has been right on so far I believe towards Barret and his posting styles. I'll see if I can't add to this a bit more later. My eyes are burning from reading so many posts in the last 20 minutes.

He voted for Edge just to "get this over with". It looked like a vote to get some things started but everything was already under way by then. Just a little weird to me.

Obviously, the big thing so far was the dispute between Ingus and Edgar and the way it sort of died down unnaturally. I'm sure that's going to come up in the next couple days if not later this day.

I want to bring something up, too. I think we need to make sure everyone's votes are made. I know Psychotic and qwertyxsora said that everyone has to vote but that doesn't mean that the day's not going to end when someone gets the amount of votes needed to lynch tacked to them. Having a person lynched before everybody gets some idea as to what everyone else is thinking could make it hard to determine who's what in the later days. Dogpiling on people in the past has made it harder to draw a line between those who voted for the unlucky person to get lynched.

Like I said, I was going to be super busy. Looks pretty crappy when I don't go by my own advice, though. I guess a ton of people didn't vote or were inactive yesterday, too. I'm still sticking to my picks, though. It looks like everyone has forgotten about everything I brought up early on.

Vivi is still numero uno. I understand if it was complete inactivity but he hasn't come to put any kind of input in or anything. Not saying that I did much more but at least I have some logic to go on.

The Ingus/Edgar thing is still in my head. In my way of thinking, when two people blatantly go out and have their own little spat, I tend to think one of them is mafia. Maybe that doesn't apply anymore, though. Edgar's been pretty cool and smoothed over a lot of it since he was replaced or people started sharing his account. And in the same sense, reading over yesterday's posts, now I've got a Ramza/Fran thing going on in my head.

##Vote: Vivi

I'm simply looking at the voting patterns. If there's one thing I've learned over the years playing this game, votes give away everything. This is especially true in such a game where people have lots of time to consider their answers and can blantantly lie without anyone picking it up (in "real-life" Mafia games I tend to be something of a human lie detector making things easier). While we don't know if the Redded people were Mafia per say, I would say their concurrent demises, one at the hands of townspeople and the other through another means, suggests they were on the same bandwagon since it wouldn't make sense for anyone but non-Mafia members to target Irvine in the night directly following it unless it's some purposeful ruse to take people off the scent.

In the first round Fran, Quina and Lulu all voted for the person lynched. In round two they all voted for the same person again. This to me suggests that they're working together. I imagine Irvine decided to vote for Ingus because everyone was jumping on him and it was an opportunity to make sure an innocent died. They couldn't all change their votes however because that's just too suspicious. Now that Lulu is dead that leaves Fran and Quina. Of the two Fran is the one that's "doing the most damage" as it were.

OOC:	As an out-loud musing, I get the feeling that this game is too filled with special roles. While I can imagine the thinking behind it, it makes a game too complicated, especially if there are several different groups with their own agenda because it gives the townies a disadvantage

He preaches that he can’t watch such speed voting. Then votes immediately in round 2 and 3. We found Lulu off contradictions, could we be on a potential mafian member with them again? Maybe, that’s why your on the top of my list.

God your quote was a mess. Anyways, one of the reasons why I lie low and don't get involved in the mass disputes is because it's a sure-fire way to get people thinking your Mafia. I give my reasons and rebuttals to anyone who accuses me and lay low the rest of the time. Petty squabbles and over-analysing just isn't my style. I voted as quick as I did so my analysis could be right next to the voting scores so people didn't have to track back to check them (I'm assuming many would just say "o he's lying" and ignore me). I also suspect you so much it's unreal. If I had a concrete reason to vote for you right now I would, but at the moment your incessant double talk makes it nye on impossible to follow what you're saying/doing.

Well, let me start by saying I’m a replacement. Additionally, I have no regard of what the person before me has done…or not done as it seems. But, I intend to carry out my duty now and be active. Again, please do not blame me for lagging. Whoever was my role before me was inactive and as result, did not vote. After careful analysis of the voting patterns aforementioned I’ve deduced some plausible suspicions you may want to focus on. But take note that some of my statistics are probably wrong due to the fact that I skimmed through all the tallies. This is just an easier way for people to decipher patterns or what have you without having to go through the whole thread like I did. I’ll most likely be posting these each day with updated information.

Furthermore, I posted these statistics because I want people to start coming up with an analysis for them. I’m sure someone can detect a pattern here. I can not because I still have to read all these posts, so my analysis will have to be postponed for now. Hopefully in that time we can come up with a sufficient scum to be lynched.
