I have my thoughts about what happened but I'd like Ksen to give his input.

[Feck]

Did Ksen have an item ?

I'm pretty sure the reveal paints Ksen as Town, probably Vanilla. It must be a mod-kill on Irre, because it defies logic that if he had some sort of anti-lynch spell or potion it wouldn't be one of his lynchers (Barnett or me) who would get offed instead.

RC you make the assumption that there are scum on the Mantis BW ..Why ?

To hide in the numbers may be or to start the bw. Initially I thought there would have been 2 scum in the bw but since Ob was Nk'd I think there is only one. Ok a lot of talk about me being fixated on Mantis bw. I feel that voting patterns are the biggest clue in trying to identify scum. That is the only tangible thing that I can work on. Trying to judge a player's alignment by gauging their response to questions is not something I'm good at.

The working assumption that there is a certain number of scum on a main BW would be pretty typical. However, in this particular case I think what I said in the post with color-coded vote counts should have made you update your reasoning somehow. Also, by your estimates there were 1 scum among 4 unknowns on the mantis BW, and 3 scum among a total of 11 unknowns from a townie POV. So your estimate of the proportion of scum in group you suggested we focus on wasn't even higher than the baseline.

Yes I know, I did think about that. There were 12 players alive at the start of day2. Once we came to know that Ob was SK, I revised my estimate on the number of scum to 3. 1 in 4 on the Mantis bw and 2 in 7 elsewhere (excluding me). There isn't much difference. Also, its not merely a case of throwing darts. I felt we could get more info on the ppl who voted Mantis.
It may seem that I'm fixated on Mantis bw, but I'm actually not. It's just that all the questions directed on me were about this.

I'm not sure how that paints Ksen as town. I think he just managed to dodge a lynch with a necessary mid kill in it's place. I'm still suspicious of for all the reasons previously posted.

[BarnettNewman]

That should read mod kill.

[Feck]

Why does Irre being killed make Ksen innocent ?

It's a flavour thing in Zigmen's reveal.

There is some turmoil around the local temples this morning. Some folks are demanding to know if the gods played a part in the mishap that occurred at yesterday's lynch.

The gods are too insulted to answer.



Not that all of you would have heard the gods' response, anyway . . .

Somebody tried to block me last night. Flavour wise it looks like a scum block - I was frightened by some thing.

Guys, I am Rincewind the Wizzard. I was basically a jester trying to get lynched. By default if I got lynched my lynch would go to another townie unless I typed a message out provided to me by Zigmen and then I would take the lynch and get a win.

so I was trying to get myself lynched so I could take it and get my win condition. But since yesterday ended up as a tie I didn't have the opportunity or at least I didn't think I had the opportunity. Sorry Irre!!! I was prepared to take my lynch!

I'm still town though.

By the stink of death?

[Athene]

Yup that was the thing.

[Athene]

What was the message you had to type out?
