Swords in the Moon [Concluded]

The combined list of kills from the first two nights is very random. It seems so random that the randomness itself must be intentional, probably from random.org. There's still nothing decent to work with yet, due to game size and the early phase. I recommend spreading out pressure on many people.

[edit]Also, ATPG is still listed as alive, which I believe is an error.

Maybe a scratch can make the things simplier?

One because all three dead players are mafia regulers in gameroom (Split is new, Khazaar is recently from TWC) and Lord Winter. All of them are not really a populer kill target in night one, suggesting that either the mafia gang is just picking random targets or trying to give the non regulers some chance to get active on mafia.

I may do just that, I'm opposed to killing new commers on earlier rounds. Plus killing Khazaar naturally points at TWC players including my self.

I think theres a good chance of mafia being in those four.

Anyways, for those who are making assumptions that lynching ATPG is the only way to silence him. Thats a big mistake. If ATPG turns out to be innocent, we will have to swim through 10 post of ATPG per page! Not that I have any problems with that.

There is too much obvious honour in this man, which makes me wonder if this is not just a mask to hide his true intentions. This makes him suspicious.

Andres' write-ups are not clueless, but there is little to go on. Nevertheless, I believe I am noting some small pattern regarding the killers:

Vigi-Sam Killer

I see parallels between the killings of Lord Winter and 'kkhaan. Both of these appear to be sword killings as of a Samurai in vigilante mode. Both targets are known players with several GR mafias under their belts. Also, both targets often lessen their participation following death.

I could be wrong and this could be a bad-guy doing the killing, but I believe this is one killer and he or she is killing experienced players of known skill but those who do NOT normally feature as early round lightning rods.

Butcher

Khazar's particularly gory death on N1 strikes me as the work of a SK. Both Samurai and Ninja were capable of lots of violence and beheadings were common, but hacking the taget to ribbons is excessive and betokens instability. No such killing occurred on N2.

Ninja

We have more than one of these, but I am not sure that they all were up to speed on day one. I get the suggestion of some being late with their orders and late to the game -- as I was -- so it might be wothwhile to query those who were inactive at first but active now. I fit that profile, so have at me if you wish. ALL of their targets have been relative newcomers or those with very low profiles (save for The Spartan, returning after a long absence). I am not sure it's as random as Tincow suggests -- just prudent targeting early while the big names and frequent posters lynch each other in the early rounds (as we all know happens pretty often).

Thoughts?

One is for sure: at least one or two of the Ninjas are experienced players. The others can be relatively new.

I also think that one of the traitors is a seasoned player.

On the other hand, I would not recommend killing all the experienced people since it won't solve the problem (not all of the assassins are experienced).

Edit: I think there is something like voting and consulting in the ranks of Ninjas. After all they kill 3 and they are 4 people.
