I just suspected it would help with the rooms check due to mentioning the ivy was "velcro-like"

I was more concerned about the room check than my athletics.

Makes sense!

starlalilymoon

I've been assuming that the Craft score is a measure of your intelligence or intuition when it comes to intricate things, tinker-y things.

Oh! Yeah my Craft is a bit high, but I guess Monet's is higher than mine. I wanted to get the ivy to craft something to help us get quicker out of the room.

Xasy

Earlier I mentioned how many times I've incriminated myself today and I said I wasn't acting out of self-preservation, and it's true that I was not during the events in question.

But I have and will continue to act in self-preservation, so long as it does not compromise the group as a whole.

SkullJoke

Unless "Theft" is Stealth against Craft, Nami's story is dependent on her losing a roll of her high Stealth against a much weaker stat of Monets. Which seems… unlikely.

Unless anyone has more compelling reasoning or evidence, I have my prime suspect.

Additionally, her lack of commitment to lynching beyond Queen, despite all evidence pointing to her or Monet, feels like an attempt to lay low and not rock the boat.

Vote Lynch: Nami

starlalilymoon

And still I repeat it again, I think if we have to lynch anyone, it be Queen. We do know for sure they tried to kill, and I'm sure he might come after me… since I revealed that I have low athletics, and I rather not die x.x

Then I propose to use our night actions on people we suspect during the night to figure out the real killer.

Questions for everyone but Batman:

What is the likelihood that Bat-boy lied about his report on Hannyabal? Do you think it's possible that he did the kill last night?

I would suggest reviewing the posts today before you give your answer.

I mean, I rather play it safe and get someone that is actually guilty of attempted murder. I really can't figure out who the killer is, I really thought it be Queen. But now I'm just lost. That's all.

SkullJoke

Btw, Queen, you're on thin ice (if you feel okay to play even, hope everything goes well with your cat) .

We don't want to go through the effort of trying to find the killer and lynching them, just for you to be doing this tonight:

Now that you mention it, "walking around in circles" really doesn't fit a watch action like it does a follow action.

Also the mention of Buggy roasting Hannybal is kind of interesting. In my messages about failing to following Nami, Buggy said things along the lines of "It's okay. You tried your best." and "It's really difficult to follow someone in the dark"

(These are paraphrased by the way)

It said I concluded he was a moron.

Iwould like to point out that earlier today Nami used the same "new player that doesn't understand what's going on" shtick to lie about not performing a night action.

Kirbycide

I'm going to sleep on all of this and see if my brain sorts anything out in my dreams. I think it's pretty safe to assume that no one will be getting lynched without my vote… I hope.

Xasy

In retrospect, I think I gave Batman a pass a bit too easily. Although I suspect Nami more.

Saying you saw someone walking in circles is kind of bold claim to make though. Especially as the second post of the day and with no idea of what anyone else's reports would look like.

Well, I decided to look through the posts, and this is what I noticed.

I wonder what all happened in the night. I can personally vouch for one person whom I chose to follow in the night. This person apparently spent three hours walking in a circle.

Batman mentioned this, but then wouldn't tell who it was till after Hannybal said this:

It's worth noting that I didn't walk in circles either (I think). But the Perception-based night action I attempted was unsuccessful so it could have been reasonable flavor.

Plus, Hannybal would have gotten possibly a similar message about what exactly he did, but he said he didn't.

You're on to something here Bon Clay, and it is a fullproof plan too. This is making me suspect Batman now. Hmmmm.

Sleep well and don't let the bedbugs bite! ^^

Now, if we account for all the people who did something "sneaky" last night (i.e. used their Stealth ability), we've got:

Queen, attempted murder. Watched by me, and read by Hannya-boy.

Batman, followed Hannya-boy. Read by Snowy-girl.

Nami, allegedly attempted theft. Read by Bat-boy, but she could have been trying something else… like murder.

Monet, allegedly attempted following. Read by no one. Very unusual. I don't know what to think.

Hannyabal, allegedly attempted following/watching. Read by no one. Not surprising if he actually was just watching, but very unusual if he was trying to follow. I don't know what to think.

@starlalilymoon:

It is max - 5 ^^

I just realized something really strange and had to come back to post about it.

With a Perception of 5, shouldn't Nami have gotten a "strange" read on someone who used Stealth last night?

I'm getting very suspicious of you, Miss Cat-burglar.

starlalilymoon

With a Perception of 5, shouldn't Nami have gotten a "strange" read on someone who used Stealth last night?

Well, I gotten the part about Queen being strange, hence why I started to suspect him when others got a reading similar to mine. Didn't feel like it was important to mention since you had your watch report and Hannybal having a strange reading on Queen as well.

Xasy

After some consideration, I would like to make a case for lynching Queen today.

We already know Queen attempted to kill last night.
Based on what Queen said when he showed up today, he didn't fully understand the mechanics of the game and still attempted a kill.
Queen also seemed indifferent to being lynched. He may just attempt a kill again tonight for the hell of it, without caring about being caught.
However, if Nami or myself is the killer, we would not be able to act again tonight due to the amount of suspicion directed at us.

And I know that this will be interpreted as trying to draw attention away from myself, but keep in mind that I'm saying all this while suspicion is moving towards Nami. I believe this course of action could stop another person from dying tonight. And you

And you can still always lynch me tomorrow*

Kirbycide

spin spin spin

Time to think hasn't given me any more sort of clarity about who the murderer is… but my gut tells me that it wasn't Nami-chan. If I'm right, then that means we have at least three players among us who are more concerned about their own desires than the survival of the group. Two murderers and one shameless thief.

Un, Deux, Trois... I spin~!

At the very least, I'm somewhat hopeful that Dark Knight-chan, Hannya-boy, and I might be able to survive the night and put our heads together to figure out who to vote off tomorrow. Truth be told, I'm also a little frustrated that Nami-chan has consistently been either lying or withholding information for... nebulous reasons. And so... with a heavy heart... I must do the unthinkable.

Vote: Lynch Nami

This is also a reasonable course of action. If the wagon shifts to either you or Queen, I'd be willing to shift with it.

Buggy: Climbing~ Climbing~ la~ la~ la~ Hannyalbal: Would you shut up already! That song is going to stay in my head!
Buggy: What is that? You are telling a pirate to not sing!? Listen you moron, pirates all love to sing, that's what makes us pirates.
Monet: Leave him Hannyabal, his hands must be killing him, he is obviously singing to distract himself
Buggy: … Buggy: … Buggy: … Buggy: Climbing~ Climbing~ la~ la~ la~

Finally, we reached a flat little ledge that seemed like a good resting place. It was about halfway to the top, so another day of climb awaited us.

Buggy: Good, we have all reached at this–-

No one was listening. Of course they weren't, there wasn't really anything "good" about any of this. Trapped in a cave; tired, starved, and on top of that, people killing other people. This was a matter of survival, and no one was willing to trust their life to someone else, not when there were people with so little regard of it. Buggy saw helplessly as the very humanity that defined them, left his companions. Soon, even the harsh death threats that were so freely being thrown about, weren't enough to sate them, and the talks turned violent. A little push here, a small shove there; and as one would expect, but no one could foresee, Nami was pushed from the ledge down in the chasm, no doubt to her death.

It was of course sudden, but when is it not?

[HIDE]Nami is dead. You weren't able to retrieve anything from her body.[/HIDE]

Buggy: Well, what's done is done. It's sad really, but we need to survive. Let this be the end of this discussion. It's now night, any actions you want to perform should be done in your individual threads. See you in 24 hours!

Morning has arrived finally… We couldn't hear the birds chirping, but we could still feel it. We couldn't smell the fresh morning air, but somehow, you were still entranced by it. Maybe our memories were playing tricks on us, but we knew, this was a beautiful morning. Too bad that most of us woke up feeling more tired than when we went to sleep. But, no rest for the weary… there was still a day's climb to be completed.

Buggy: Eyes on the prize now, just a day's work and we will reach the top! Be ca-
Buggy was cut short by horrifying scream. Someone lost their grip and fell to the bottom of the chasm…

[HIDE]Queen is dead. You weren't able to retrieve anything from their body.[/HIDE]

Quick question to the head convict: does the color of people's names have a purpose? I notice that Queen was in red, Nami was in bold and red, and Usopp was in normal font.

Yes it has a purpose. It reflects the severity of their guilt when they died.

Can… can this mean that we... we made the right choice yesterday?! I could barely sleep last night over the thought of betraying fair Nami-chan. That and the sound of my own stomach rumbling.

spin spin spin

Well, what’s done is done. And, somehow, even Queen ended up falling… supposedly because of the strenuous climb.

It seems that either no one tried to murder last night... or that their attempt(s) were unsuccessful.

What do the rest of you think about sharing what we did last night?

SkullJoke

A cyborg was found tonight. I expected as much.

Queen was an attempted murderer. I didn't kill him. But that doesn't mean I had to save him.

Someone probably wanted a safer climb. Or safer nights. With the guilt color reveal, we know that Usopp has been avenged. RIP, Long nose, I regret not spending more time checking out your awesome (if plagiarized) utility belt.

Did anyone notice someone acting strangely this morning?

Intriguing, Snowy-girl. In fact, I did notice someone acting strangely.

Usopp is dead. There was nothing of interest by his body.

Nami is dead. You weren't able to retrieve anything from her body.

Buggy-boy already confirmed this, Miss Harpy.

Xasy

Ah, in that case. I guess Nami did do it.

I attempted to steal the gem from Hannybal, but failed. Particularly of note, Buggy mentioned that because I failed I "kept my grace." I assume this means that unlike attempted murder, attempted theft does not increase one's "guilt."

I was hoping to be told that stealing was not possible and given another chance to pick an action. In the event that I did succeed, I planned to return the gem during the day.

Kirbycide

Miss Harpy. Can you explain why, based on your night action, you were at first convinced that Nami-chan was innocent?

Xasy

Miss Harpy. Can you explain why, based on your night action, you were at first convinced that Nami-chan was innocent?

After your pointed out that Batman was not necessarily innocent, I realized that we may had made a mistake regarding "strange" behavior.

The other two individuals found to be suspicious yesterday were Queen (an attempted murderer) and Name (an alleged attempted thief). I began to wonder if following others really did trigger people seeing strange behavior, or if it was only actions that were malicious in nature. After confirming that stealing was possible, my suspicion immediately went back to Batman.

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

I knew I would be fighting an uphill battle once again if this was the case. Given that I was the only one to see Batman acting strangely.

Although I hope that in llight of Nami's guilt, my actions yesterday have shown my dedication to uncovering the facts.

I have bolded a section of Buggy-boy's introduction today that seems noteworthy.

Bat-boy. Did you manage to find anything in those caves that Nami-chan mentioned yesterday? The second set of caves that she mentioned.

Jabberwok

I attempted to steal the gem from Hannybal, but failed. Particularly of note, Buggy mentioned that because I failed I "kept my grace." I assume this means that unlike attempted murder, attempted theft does not increase one's "guilt."

Nyahahaha! Can't steal what I no longer have!

I've discreetly placed them gem on one of us! Because it glows, it effectively decreases that person's Stealth by one. I'm not sure if this is always applied or just for the purposes of Watching someone.

I also Watched someone last night. I'm pretty sure they were also watching someone else but I'm not 100% certain.

What's bad about sleeping??

I spent the night peacefully asleep. Thought it might be beneficial to not suffer from exhaustion a second night in a row. Of course, I believe I left myself wide open to attacks too though. Luckily nobody disturbed me, and while I didn't get a stat boost, I also didn't lose anything.

If you had said that you tried to follow someone last night, then I would have second guessed my vote against you.

But the only two other players who have gotten strange reads have already been confirmed to be guilty.

Perhaps you did only sleep last night, but you also had a strange read against you yesterday, which indicates that you tried to kill someone on the first night. Your guilt remains, and that is probably why I got the strange read on you this morning.
