CJ investigated me and found me innocent.
The person Meph gave his life protecting couldn't be scum.. otherwise loyal Meph wouldn't have been protecting that person. But we don't know who it is, and why Meph was protecting him/her.

Anyone who is voting for revenge based n the last game is likely to be evil and want me out of the game.

They know I'm innocent, as will be proved when I'm killed. Remember these words and look back at this thread to see who voted for me if and when I'm found to be innocent on death.

As for voting 95Theses, I like the idea of sweet sweet revenge... hmm
Wait up.. depending on the answer 95theses has for me, he might be innocent.

Well, apparently the person he was protected was that Duke's son character (I can't remember his name - I only saw about 40 minutes of Dune last night). I'm not sure what his special power would be but it's likely he has one, otherwise I don't see a point in assigning a protector character.

Apparently not - "Mephistophiles was Jamis, a Fremen of Sietch Tabr who was assigned by Stilgar to protect Paul Atreides."

So it seems Meph was assigned to protect Paul Atreides (one of the good guys, and who, if we're going on the novel, may have special powers).
A doctor protected the bad guy's hit. So that doctor would know one person who's innocent/independent. Given 2 independents are already out, how many more might there be.
Seems very unlikely the doctor happened to protect the scum's first victim, doesn't it?? I wonder if we're missing something.
CJ investigated me and found me innocent.
Yup. Although I did ask Oblivion "...are there any scum who appear as town to me and vice versa (like the PI appearing "guilty" in the Mafia game, for example)" His response indicated there might be, so you're not entirely off the hook Virphen, but the chances of me investigating one of the innocents who appear guilty first up are quite low.

rezling was Counter Hasimir Fenring, and was an independent serial killer who came to Arraikis in the service of Emperor Shaddam IV to weaken both sides of this conflict.

Mephistophiles was Jamis, a Fremen of Sietch Tabr who was assigned by Stilgar to protect Paul Atreides. He was loyal to the Atreides and to Stilgar. He gave his life in that protection last night.

rezling tried to kill Paul and Mephistophiles sacrificed himself and killed rezling in the process. Nobody was killed by Harkkoden last night. So the victim was likely protected, I would say. Unless the Harkkoden team is just asleep at the wheel.

How did Rezling go straight for Paul though? Seems like a lucky guess to pick one player out of twenty and hit a probable major character.

I was wondering that. I mean if I was given an Indie task that meant I won by picking off one person I wouldn't go trying to pick a random on the first night.

It's improbable but not impossible. Is there any other possible explanation? Maybe the serial killer knows who the players are? It's possible rezling tried to kill Paul and didn't understand his bodyguard's role.

So either...
- Harkkonen team was alseep and didn't whack anyone, or...
- Their victim had protection, or...
- Their victim may have been either Rezling or Mephistophlies. (Not sure about the order of events... I saw it somewhere in a thread - need to check)

Is that a fair summary?

I suspect him too. Very quick to accuse me too but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt after saying he would expose his role if needed.
It could be a bluff.

Hold your fire on 95theses for a minute. I'm seeking clarification from oblivion
