    MIDAS isn't constructed yet, firstly, and when it is, I will be testing it without actually using it in games. I refuse to sabotage a game on an experimental analysis device for my own amusement.

    I'll use the old fashioned method, and make a note of what MIDAS says. If MIDAS fails to nail even one mafia, then I won't be using it.


    Ares, either CLAIM the ability to vote while dead, or edit your post, please.

    If you all unvote me, I will not reject the duel. Of course, I won't be rejecting the duel anyway. My life is in Seireikhaan's hands, it's no longer my choice. It's also in your hands, and I won't plead for my life. I am happy with death, as it will eliminate me as a suspect and hopefully lend some credibility to my efforts so far.

    Listen, when you put your Balzac on the line every game the way I do, you're bound to get neutered.

    And you can quote me on that, too.

    sorry one at a time, tempting though, anyway to make this post constructive I will officially announce I was a Cereal Killer with a difference, all players named 'cookie crisp' 'Kellogg's cornflakes' or 'weetabix' die on the next round.

    Yeah, believe me I completely understand. That Balzac quote is quite a mouthful.

    "Now Sasaki, don't even bother with your healing abilities. I have thought long and hard of how you should die and I assure you, the method will make your abilities quite useless."

    The giant began uttering some chants and suddenly, Sasaki Kojiro was transformed into a fish. He began to asphyxiate on his the floor when the giant went and picked him up and dropped him into one of the many barrels of water in his tent. Initially feeling relief, Sasaki Kojiro soon realized he was drowning! As a fish no less!
    He looked hopelessly at the laughing giant before he floated limply to to the top.

    The giant then pulled out a trident and impaled the corpse of Sasaki Kojiro the fish. Taking a bite of his freshly killed victim, the giant chuckled to himself: "Oh Pisuf, you have really outdone yourself tonight!"

    "Hopefully these mortals will be thankful for the favor I have bestowed on them..."
    The healing abilities mentioned only seem to affect whether or not you yourself would live. There is nothing mentioned that would imply anything else. To defeat you Pisuf transformed you into a fish, and submerged you in water, which you suffocated in. Which would imply that by removing your from land and placing you in water you were unable to preserve yourself.


    I'm not saying whether Pisuf or Klefy or neutral or not. I'm saying that your death does not confirm you as working for the settlers. And quite likely if your goddess's goal is to preserve and defend nature, I would imagine your goal would be to hinder their progress.

    I would agree with the idea of Pisuf and Kefy being relatively neutral Gods with their own agendas, but it is impossible to be sure.

    Just something to consider from the write-up. My death, and I believe The Flax's as well, involved a message being left for us to read, before our stabbing. This would suggest the killer was educated, thus one of the 'Good Men'. More importantly the killer seems rather pleased with himself for having killed two (relatively) lowly scribes, lending further weight to the suggestion that he was a 'reader'. The one problem with this idea is that I don't see how they could successfully locate two scribes so quickly, particularly since neither myself nor The Flax appear to given away any obvious clues in thread prior to our deaths.

    Thats all I've got for now. back later.

    I checked again to be sure, I got no message in the writeup of my death. Unlike the "Look behind you." you received. This might mean the killer is educated, but more importantly he defiled the work I was writing by smoking it, and in your case he sniffed your ink. So, probably a general lack of respect for scribes.

    The last point is what people should think about though and I've said it before, right after you were murdered. This is apparently the same killer, judging by the M.O., but how did he manage finding picking both scribed in Night 1 and Night 2? We'll see if another scribe dies tonight (if any others are left.)

    I fear the cause of writing is taking a devastating blow.

    well, no matter what.....if ATPG dies in his duel. I can see Reenk randomly killing someone...(most likely a usurper....) Since, they seem to be winning....and in the rules Reenk said this....

    Edit:...I just had a thought.....if Reenk Randomly kills me.....I will laugh until I die....
