A Bridge Zhou Far - Three Stars Rising [Concluded]

[naut]

How come Beskar was picked off from the rest of you then?

It seems like taka was attacked and Beskar died as the only person keeping an eye on him.

Lol x 100. My orders were sent, on time and correct. I think it is due to the way Double A worded his PM:

protect: taka with mentioned.

He used mentioned as reference to the PM receivers, instead of stating their names.

But, then again a protection group works with 3 members, anymore is back-up, so perhaps the killer bypasses protection? A bomb can't reall be protected against can it? My guess is the random.org gods picked Beskar to die.

And we should vote Sigurd. Gut says so, so it must be done.

vote: Sigurd

I REALLY don't think Subo would take my orders that literal. I mean... really? Who would? You'd have to be a robot to take them that literal.

[johnhughthom]

The rules state you need to specifically mention each person in the group Double A.

[Subotan]

My sister listens to this, which is the only reason why I know this song. Also the glitter freaks me out.

[miotas]

So... Wideyedwander is Japanese?

[Double A]

I can't even think of a reply to that.

[landlubber]

vote: shlin28.
I don't see any reason for him to vote for the officers. Seems like he's almost acting scummy on purpose.

[seireikhaan]

Vote: Sigurd Taka approves of it, and that's the best lead I've got at the moment.

[autolycus]

It is possible that either the Imperialists or the Capitalists have taken casualties due to the crazy man's wrongful actions. While shlin28's repeated targeting of the leadership is irritating, the fact is we have not served our comrades all that well. I am curious about this alleged mention of explosives in connection with comrade johnhughthom.
Vote:johnhughthom

[Romanic]

What's up with the votes for comrade Sigurd? He hasn't voted on Day 2 and Day 3.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

In fact his last post was June 17.

He does not strike me as a big suspect.

@taka: Why a "super big fos" ?

@khaan: Your best lead. Would you care to elaborate?

[Pinman]

taka noted that he isn't sure he can elaborate.

[johnhughthom]

Perhaps reading the write ups more closely will sate your curiosity, I threw petrol bombs. Very different from the device that killed taka and Beskar.

[Pinman]

If you explain the reference to revenge i`ll remove my vote.

Either:

- An explanation in the context of the writeup, pointing out something I missed or
- an explanation as to how such revenge plays into your backstory

Tbh, I`m wondering if you arent the hairy serial killer - and not only because of the reference to bombs.

If you look at the post where Winston was killed, you see that the killer is looking to revenge himself on a hairy man. Then, we see that you are worried about revenge.

Finally, last night, we see a hairy SK.

Explain.

[Sigurd]

Super big fos: sigurd
fos: a.this, Jolt and maybe renata

Not sure how much the dead can say so I will leave it at that

Vote: Sigurd Taka approves of it, and that's the best lead I've got at the moment.

I believe taka brought this on himself.

What taka is refering to is probably my correspondance with him last round regarding the group both of us was assigned to by our Chairman.
GH put me in a group with taka, Jolt and ArpeggiateTHIS in the first round. In communications with GH, I learned that he would try to keep original groups together to form cliques and I took it upon myself to continue my correspondence with them.

I noticed something taka mentioned in the thread and asked him about it. Jolt and ArpeggiateTHIS can confirm as they were both CC'ed in the same PM.
taka first responded with reproach (PM#1) and then excused himself (PM#2) that he would probably not be able to participate due to RL and then claimed he was already busy doing GH's bidding on other fronts (PM#3)

GH said he would contact us if he needed us, but I have been left picking my nose the last two nights.
The thing I asked taka about was quite obvious for all to read, and I am sure others noticed it too. If not, I at least pointed it out to Jolt and ArpeggiateTHIS. AT and taka at least showed the curtisy of replying.
All of them read my PM (ref. PM tracking).

I both confirm and agree with what Sigurd is saying.

That mention in the report of our fallen comrade seems very suspicious to me.

I can also confirm all Sigurd has said. I did not reply simply because the PM had nothing/little addressed to me. My only reference there was that of all of us, I was the only one who CC'd the orders (And too late as well, if you didn't notice.) Then you went on to ask taka about something being watched. Since there was nothing to me to reply to, and I am busy with exams as usual, I didn't reply to anything.

Likewise Sigurd, I have sat on my butt the last two nights.

[Jolt]

Vote: Abstain

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

Likewise Sigurd, I have sat on my butt the last two nights.

Indeed, so have I. Last night I even posted a request for orders, but nothing happened. Perhaps we should choose our own defence target? I'm open to discussion.

[wideyedwanderer]

Vote: schlin, for as Secura and landlubber have pointed out, he has repeatedly voted for officers, and has yet to explain his reasoning.

As for people voting for me because of the unhappy coincidence that Subotan used the term Wide Eyed in his write up, this is a misguided effort. If I were mafia, why would Subotan deliberately reveal me? Kind of defeats the point of the game.

EDIT: ^ YLC got to it before me.

[Beskar]

Lol x 100. My orders were sent, on time and correct. I think it is due to the way Double A worded his PM:

A shame he didn't die instead then.

[Double A]

So Subo, were my orders valid or not?

Cause if they were, I don't know WHAT went wrong, maybe the killer is super awesome. If they weren't, either the killer is good, or there's an infiltrator in the group. There could have been two if mine were good, but that's highly unlikely.

[Romanic]

I agree with Psychonaut, the attack on Beskar/taka means that the killer is able to kill through protection, and also kill one of the guardians on the way. This ability must have a limited number of uses otherwise it would be too powerful (and would also render comrade protection pointless).

If we agree with the above, then it means the killer knew that Beskar would be protected. I don't see him wasting his ability unless he was sure to go through protection and get two kills from it.

I heard whispers that Beskar was not a vanilla townie, and that's reason enough to attack him. This info circulating around, plus GH telling a lot of people who would be protected means that Beskar was a very nice target to someone able to kill 2 while going through protection.

So far I'm not happy with the GH administration, it seems that information is circulating around too much. It's time to limit the chit-chat to a need-to-know basis.

[johnhughthom]

taka was attacked, Beskar was part of the protection group.

[Chaotix]

Should've had me protecting taka again, like I did the night before.

I would've done the job right!

....now we're both dead. Sucks. I wanted to lead the communists to victory.

EDIT: Also, lol to dumb ACIN who must've roleblocked me for wanting to be his assistant.

[a completely inoffensive name]

EDIT: Also, lol to dumb ACIN who must've roleblocked me for wanting to be his assistant.

I didn't role block you for wanting to be my assistant. It wasn't my choice to role block you to begin with. All I did this night was attempt to investigate you, to make sure you were not KMT or Japanese so I could hire you as my deputy I could trust. You dying pisses me off. I'm going to suggest we do this like a real Communist leader. I'm going to make a list of people who are arguing back and forth over who is the leak etc... and I'm going to suggest killing you all.

[Romanic]

taka was attacked, Beskar was part of the protection group.

Meh. Then Beskar wasn't the target, so my theory about the killer knowing he was more than vanilla is void.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

This most recent attack confirms that the Japanese are active and killing (Chaotix).

The Solokiller (bearded) blew up both taka and Beskar -- suggesting a powerful attack ability. It cannot be assumed yet, however, that this solokiller is anti communism. (probably the way to bet, but a touch early)

Interesting votes so far. jht and sig coming under fire. Hmmmm....

Okay, even *I* wasn't aware of Beskar being anything aside from townie. Him being not vanilla is news to me. I guess this leads into my second point - that since the first night, I've been keeping people I'm in communication with to a small number. I'm not ATPG people, I'm trying to figure out this whole "run a network" thing on the fly while still staying true to my beliefs about them. Right now it doesn't seem to be working, but I think we *are* making progress.

[Pinman]

I just noticed that the person who killed Winston claims that he even shaved off his facial hair - a reference to last night's SK?

Furthermore, I'm going to Vote: johnhughthom simply because I'm intrigued by the line in the second night's writeup which references vengeance.
Vengence for what?
