Goddamnit, HW. Your stupid Trollball item framed me! I knew you guys wouldn't be able to figure out that I was forced to speak in riddles, I'm too good at making them. Whatever. *dies*

Does this mean that random string of stuff actually meant something? Can anybody figure out what he meant?
Quoted for your convenience:

EDIT: Could he be talking about an item? We were all "forcefully given" things, although I'm not sure what "the body of a lion and the voice of a tyrant" could be.

So 4 marks were made last night? With only 3 scum, and this:

does it mean that non-scum are handing out marks, too? Or can scum hand out multiple marks per person per night? What qualifies a person as scum in this game? There are several groups of threats, are all of them counted as scum?

And we can't just wait around for information from deaths like some people suggested yesterday.



Like last game, the death reveals nothing, or it reveals something so infrequently that we're all likely to be dead before that happens. The only "reliable" source of information would be abilities. Anybody have some bits of information from last night that they'd be able and willing to share?

Geez, a non-scum who basically had 6 hit points was OHKO'd? That's not good for team non-scum.

I agree.

...which means that marks are probably not the only way to kill someone. His 6 HP didn't seem to mean a thing; he was just outright killed (because I really doubt there's some sort of ability that gives someone 6 marks, when it takes 4 to kill someone normally).

GP may very well be dead tomorrow as well, so we'll be down 2 - whether or not GP is a wolf remains to be seen, though. Either his mark from before is multiplying, or someone (or multiple someones) is/are giving him more. It's most likely him being given more.

I'd say a bit more but I think Different actually summed it up quite well. I'm quizzical about Mektar's voice-of-lion body-of-tyrant message too. It must mean something.
And part of me thinks that Green Lantern cosplay bit means something too, but that sounds a bit too stupid even for me.


Not to cast doubt, but what makes you so certain there's 3 scum?


...that doesn't count.

Where are you getting the number 4 marks from? Unless I'm reading something wrong, weren't there just the two more that GhostPony received?

...Why do people not seem to understand that descriptions of people are things that are representative of themselves. In this case, Green Lantern cosplay is descriptive of somebody...

huh yeah. I must not have noticed he said 4 marks. It is only 2. *blinks*



Well, this is you we're talking about here. You could be saying random things with no particular rhyme or reason to them.

That, and I've never been a fan of over-analyzing game updates, so...

Sorry, my number was off. I accidentally misread Mektar's role card thing and thought that it only took 2 marks to kill him.
2 marks for ghostpony, then 6 more marks to OHKO Mektar makes 8 marks in total in one night, although I don't think that Mektar was given 6 marks separately. There's probably a OHKO ability out there, making 2 marks and someone with a OHKO ability who may or may not be scum.

What's all this about green lantern cosplay?

Characters in H.W.'s logs (so far):

undergrad Art student from Chicago - Mektar (?)
man from Quebec, Gus Pony, Gus - GhostPony750
boy from Jersey, a High School track star - twistedturtwig
man who seemed unfortunately stuck in Green Lantern cosplay - Wailord_2

Ah, right, he did say that. Don't know why I blanked on that.

@CG: Oh.
Well, that was painless. HW is more boring than I thought he was.

So HW know enough stuff about everybody to make them a character? Not sure if that's creepy and I should be scared of him, or if I should applaud him for good researching skills, or if he is only making detailed characters out of people he's know for a long time, and knows well.

Anyway, back on topic, body of a lion and voice of a tyrant... Scar from the Lion King? I really have no idea... I guess it's safe to assume that whatever it was he was asking for was an item, probably from either Dead Space or Dark Horse, since his goal was to destroy items from these games. And since he used the words "forcefully given", we can assume the item does something bad.

This is turning out to be one very interesting game... And I'm terrified.

It's safe to say that Mektar was killed by the Scum. It's hard to tell if they knew anything about his abilities or if they just got lucky and managed to take out someone with 6 HP. My understanding of the rules is that when we vote during the day, that's for a kill, not just a mark on whoever got voted out, otherwise this would take forever. I think the Marks are only in use by some characters' special abilities, and if they accumulate enough then they would die.

So, the questions are who is the scum who killed Mektar, and who hurt GhostPony750. I believe that the Scum know who each other are, so odds are good that whoever hurt GhostPony750 is scum as well (possible that GhostPony is ALSO scum and they're trying to throw things off, but it feels early to try to be that misdirected). It's also reasonable to believe that the same person did NOT do both of those actions, so likely at least two of the scum were active during the night.

GhostPony750, what do you have to say for yourself? Why would someone want you dead? Are you scum? Do you know something about the scum?

Also, I hate to say it, but Mektar only made one in-game post, which was extremely cryptic, and then he got killed by scum. So, maybe if we can figure out who he was pointing the finger at, we can find his killer?

One more tidbit, SanguinaryScientist, James86134, and torchie13125 have not been online since the Night phase started, so they are above suspicion for these two actions.

Nah, that doesn't make any sense. GP almost has enough marks to be dead. Why would the scum put one of their own members at risk like this so early in the game? No, it's my opinion that GP is not scum at all. He may know something about them, but he's not one of them.


Maybe not his killer, but he was trying to tell us something. It may be hinting at a part of someone else's role, an item, or maybe even a win condition. I don't know if it's a lead to his killer, though... Somehow, I doubt this. But I could be wrong.

…Did that not make sense for anyone else?

It's HW. You should expect things to not make sense.
