Well I think it’s time I unwind everything…
First of all, I have to say that Blackrune’s thought patterns seems to emulate my own so much that I’m having a really hard time suspecting him. He’s like a less idiotic/all over the place/talk too much version of me in that sense… But I think in one way that Blackrune/thesorceress/myself has managed to somehow avoid most suspicion. The way the whole Quixote event unfolded makes me extremely hesitant to suspect Blackrune tho, but I’m kinda having a hard time to figure out why no one is looking at any of our ways… I’m not making any accusation there, but I’m finding this rather creepy.
Now on the topic of creepy, going for “No vote” and then seeing everyone cancel their votes within 30 mins is kinda creepy ehehe…
Okay so I’m going back to Karifean, I don’t have much choice really… There’s several things that I consider … odd to say the least.
The first one is that on the first day the only people who did not vote to kill King are Sapphire, EternalMagician and Quixote… (Blackrune “kinda” voted to kill king…). While it’s not unreasonable to think a witch may lie within the group, I’m having a really hard time grasping Karifean’s reasoning which pointed out to these three being the witches (until we learned about Sapphire/EternalMagician’s situation). It just seems terribly unlikely that “all humans voted to kill King and all witches didn’t vote for it”. That’d be something, granted.
Now his next move on the second day is apparently to “Go after EternalMagician in order to check his own sanity”. Granted I actually think Karifean would be entirely willing to do this as a human but I also think that their quietness made them easy target. I also kinda just left barely opened the door for Quixote after pointing out that Karifean was more suspicious than EternalMagician and then he instantly switched, which pictoshark even noted as being “uncharacteristic”. Of course, most people still alive ended up walking the Quixote path one way or another which actually makes me feel terrible since I was quite honestly trying to leave that possibility opened to bait potential witches (heh).
Well it turned out that Quixote was a human after all.
So I guess I’m not getting it, and not getting him either. It really feels like we (overall) collectively went after easy targets (King, Quixote, EternalMagician and more recently SleepingPliskin) rather than seriously consider… other people. It’s like going after them was the easy path that didn’t raise many conflicts.
Still the one thing I really don’t get is Karifean considering EternalMagician and Quixote suspicious, and even Sapphire for a time. My guess would’ve been that some witches at least played a role in King’s death and it feels like it’s a question we’ve collectively ignored since then.
Similarly, did any witch play a role in Quixote’s death?
If there’s any ground I can think of starting to consider anyone suspicious based on, it’d be these events. Both path does lead to Karifean but it also doesn’t necessarily or exclusively lead to him. It sorta feels like SleepingPliskin makes a good target, in part, for having voted to lynch both if anything… but the same can be said about thesorceress.
Still while I dislike bringing this up, this is the point where I’m at right now :
Do we seriously consider that Karifean, SleepingPliskin and thesorceress, all three of them were played by the witch side and ended up taking part in killing not one but two humans.
I don’t really have a much better ground to base anything on, this is really all I can add right now. If I were to make a wild guess among this group tho, Kari does come out as being more suspicious simply because he seems to have a reputation of someone who wouldn’t fall into contributing so much for the enemy side. I’d really like to hear valid reasons to suspect Quixote in the end, but considering I opened that door based on almost nothing I’m probably not in a good situation to bring it forward. Still, now day 3 begins and after going with the detective thing, Karifean has been slowly pushing us toward being suspicious of the situation with the lovers… The worst is that it’s really not something I’m able to rule out but I’d be extremely worried if we still walked on his path considering the body count he took part in.
Personally even if I had that unknown sanity detective thing I’d probably have investigated doldod on the second night (or perhaps Sapphire). One way or another I’d have been more able to do something with the information than investigating myself.
Still, I have no idea. I can totally see Karifean being actually a human, but when I think about everything, I’m tempted to still go for him.
Due to my earlier statement about who took part in killing a human twice, the other options I’d consider are SleepingPliskin and thesorceress, but in the first case I’m unable to grasp who their allies would be (unless it’s Karifean, in which case, may as well go after Karifean anyway…) and in thesorceress’ case while I still am unable to wash out all suspicion her general behaviour is making me feel like she’s genuinely confused, like the majority of the rest of us. In fact her earlier assumption about EM/Kari/Pliskin being the suspicious people was my own assumption for a time… Also, just like with Pliskin, the main person I could see as being her ally if she’s a witch… is again Karifean…
This is sorta bad after going back to no vote so recently but I’m going back to Karifean there. I’d be more than willing to listen if anyone has anything better to suggest tho.
Vote change : Karifean
