The way things have gone, it appears that a third party would probably have come up guilty as well, since we've only seen actions from Town, Hacker, and Troll.
Window Squeegee was the first to jump on sedron's NL bandwagon, and the only other post was the recent "well we can't do anything now." which seems a bit odd to me.
Difficult to say. We apparently don't need a majority to lynch in this game, so it would have made some sense for a troll to vote an inno there.
Very true.
Yeah, those two aren't being very helfpul. Hard to say whether that means they're a disinterested blue or what though. I just checked, they both posted during the last game (Koba was a tracker and Elgadika was a blue, for the record)
So there's reason to be suspicious of Koba. Elga not so much, but still.
I'm the vigilante mentioned in Hoeloe's post there. A Moderator, to be exact.
As much detail as you gave, I feel like maybe? I can trust you here.
I voted for Vergalon thinking that we could get some information to drop in a doomed-to-fail vote (things didn't go as planned), and I've been voicing my suspicion of bkamakaze ever since.
Any more clarification on your suspicion? As you said, you also voted for Vergalon there.
The Vergalon vote was picking a random user that I didn't expect enough people to vote for, in hopes that it would end like the first day's voting (and without knowing about the "no majority needed" rule). bk jumped on to vote for Vergalon even though there was a vote for Fluffi (though I haven't considered that both Fluffi and Vergalon were regular Users with no powers, suggesting my suspicions were probably unfounded. I know nobody else seemed all too worried about him). Everything else, then, just contributed to my suspicion probably via confirmation bias.


and now for an update to my nightpost
-Pholtos confirmed innocent
-Window Squeegee seems odd but justified.
-Kobabeach's silence is suspicious.
-Elgadika's silence, not so much
-bkamakaze was probably suspicious to me because confirmation bias.
-Falky claimed Mod
-I'm a regular User, let's just put that out there now.

I'm thinking either Window or Koba for a vote, but I'll wait for more discussion.

in my mind it was a 50/50 choice
either go for fluffi with wilhart, or go for vergalon with calamari
we needed a lynch that turn, and we had no information on the identity of the other team

i can understand the suspicion, i may have been a tad too eager to get things rolling
and my votes so far havent been too useful :/

so yeah, i dont blame you for suspecting me, yo

Vote Summary
  • KobaBeach 3
"We're running out of time." Hoeloe addressed the rapidly dwindling crowd. "I don't think we're going to last much longer, we've lost too many people."
"We may as well try though," began Whimsical Calamari, and detailed his analysis of the remaining members.
"We have to vote for someone, so I'm going for KobaBeach," said Falky. Several of the few surviving members agreed.
"So it's decided," said Hoeloe, "it's KobaBeach's turn today." And swung the hammer.

KobaBeach was banned. They were a Troll, an offending user behind some of the attacks!

So the trolls had lost another member, but it was a hollow victory at the price of so many innocents.

The troll approached its target in rage. They would take out the traitor. Window Squeegee would suffer the price of siding with the Hackers.
They pushed open the door, and Window Squeegee stared into the face of hell itself:

Image

"U TR8R! ULL DEI NOWWWWW!"

Window Squeegee screamed, and was still.

Window Squeegee was trolled. They were a Hacker, an offending user behind some of the attacks! Originally, they were a Troll, an offending user behind some of the attacks!

The hackers hade their descent. They knew they were close to total annihilation, and began the final stages of their assault. They began setting up the blockade, waiting for their target.

...And Falky soon came into view. The Hackers watched as the error message appeared:

"ERROR: INCORRECT PASSWORD"

And Falky was disintegrated.

Falky was hacked. They were the Moderator, a respectable user who could, once in the game, ban any member.

The sun rose bloody that morning. Defeat seemed inevitable for the Talkhaus. This would be their final stand...

The game will most likely end tomorrow.

So either Hoeloe is giving misinformation and one of the two Scum factions is now eradicated, or the Talkhaus is dead and just waiting to see whether the Hackers or the Trolls want to take home the victory.

Asked em recently about this exact subject.

Basically was told that an end game is reached if either the hackers and/or trolls remain or both are completely gone that's game over.

So what, if there's 50% scum the game still runs? Or is it still the half-wins thing?

Okay, okay, I'm here. Don't know what to tell you apart from summarising and hypothesising, so:

There's four people left (Calamari, bk, pholtos, myself). Judging by Hoeloe's post (and considering the game's, y'know, still going), there's at least one each left of trolls, hackers, and town, plus one more on one of these sides. The only way I can see town having a reasonable chance of winning is if there's two townsfolk and one each of the scum groups, and lynchings go perfectly. If it's 2 trolls-1 hacker-1 town or 1 troll-2 hackers-1 town, then town's chance of winning is absolutely tiny - they'd have to do something like lynching one of the groups with two remaining members, then hoping the remaining hacker takes out the remaining troll and/or vice-versa. If there's only one town left then it's in both the trolls' and hackers' best interests to get rid of the last townsfolk, assuming they share victory.

I'm disappointed, but I understand why I appear suspicious.

(also, it appears to be a rule that i'm always lynched when i'm vanilla town. funny that)

That said, I'm sorry to do this myself but I'm going to have to vote on my own hunch. The last two were right, I'm hoping this one is too. VOTE: bkamakaze

Vote Summary
  • Whimsical Calamari 3
  • bkamakaze 1
"So this is it." Hoeloe spoke to the few remaining Talkhausers. "We're down to our last few members. I hope we can be rid of all these trolls and hackers once and for all."
"Well, we might as well do it," said pholtos. "I'm going to vote for Whimsical Calamari."
"I can see why I'm suspicious, but I'm going to vote for bkamakaze." Calamari responded.
"I think pholtos is right, I'm voting for Calamari, too." said Elgadika.
"And me." said bkamakaze.
"Is that it then? I hope you're right..." Hoeloe swung the hammer, and the last hope for the Talkhaus died with Whimsical Calamari.

Whimsical Calamari was banned. They were a User, a regular Talkhauser with no special abilities.

Talkhaus has no available innocent users. Talkhaus blacked out.

Hoeloe turned to face the remaining users. It was clear now that none of them were on the side of the Talkhaus any more.
"So it has come to this..." Hoeloe muttered, readying the hammer. The remaining members leapt at the same time, and Hoeloe raised the hammer in a hopeless display of defence...

The Talkhaus sank into the pit of the internet. All good users left or were banned, and it was left, festering for eternity, as a hive of the most wicked users of the internet.

GAME OVER! Undesirables win!
