    classical_hero was not a Serial Killer.

    He was a town-aligned power role.

    Additionally, a mechanic unknown to all but myself - classical_hero was not the only player able to vote after death.

    In fact - ALL players had this power. Even people who were not in the game could drop in spontaneously and make a valid vote. I was the only user on this site not allowed to vote in this game.

    This was payback for ATPG's ability to influence the vote without other people knowing he was playing - in fact, everybody was a player, and if they figured it out via induction, they could turn his trick back on him.

    I mentioned something similar that in one of threads about an idea I would like to see. Awesome to see someone actually doing something like that.

    Thanks for the game Pizzaguy and Chaotix. I didn't think majority would be reached so early in this day phase, not that it mattered in the end.

    Thanks Chaotix for hosting, and Pizza for messing again with our minds. Interesting concept. To bad it ended so soon, I was just starting to get into it.

    So does that mean a majority could have been reached without anyone actually in the game posting?

    Certainly some interesting mechanics here, which I'd like to see used in future games. Thanks for hosting guys.

    The torture of the toys has come to an end, for now.

    My head melted. At least it could have done, quite explicitly in the text, if the game had carried on. Thanks for hosting Pizzaguy. I'll try to be more savvy in the next one.

    That's correct - the "majority" was based on the number of living players in the list, but could be caused by anyone.

    Although I deemed the actual chances of anybody but classical_hero making use of this ability pretty low.

    And the chances of people not even in the game, even lower.

    There's a small hint in classical's role PM, but I didn't tell him - this was more of a secret ability to be unlocked if the town chanced upon it by a random dead townie voting as a joke and then causing a lynch with it.

    El Barto was found dead in the morning.
    In my game it was a stylistic choice -humility and manhood over everything else, if you get my meaning.

The harsh, dangerous tone helps set the mood.

    Thanks to all for playing- sorry I chose to end it early, those of you who wanted to fight on: There are other game hosts waiting and unfortunately due to the number of people left and how far away you were from guessing me, it would have taken too long for the payoff.

    You did well, there was no way I'd survive to the final round and vote you guys dead. As such, tipping the king over is the choice I made not just for myself but those waiting to host a game.
    Gory writeups are fun! Not the haha kind of fun, mor elike the hoho kind of fun, but there's no accounting for my eclectic tastes.

    Noble choice from you, my good host! Now onwards to the next game!

    Subtlety is not a thing I understand all that well. Interesting concept. Shame I used the Fire power too early.
