at least
three confirmed murderers. Add in the three rescusitation claims, subtract out for the ritual, and we could be looking at five -- 3+ of which could win in as few as four days, 2+ of which could win in as few as 6. Those who did successfully kill last night are a bigger threat than those who didn't. So, to stop 3+ murderers:
1. First, murdering requires a stalk and a murder on
successive nights
. We can ensure that someone can do neither by assigning them to rob two graves. Anyone who murdered last night cannot murder tonight...so I am going to say that we should *not* rob all four graves tonight.Instead, I propose that animorpherv01 robs two of the graves, if (and only if) someone with forensic tools will be able to test him for blood. According to his story, he should be clean of blood; if he tried to kill Hayker, he will be bloody. Easy test. (Ellibereth is not eligible for this test as her story has her being bloody regardless). Plan falls down if we don't have any forensic kits, however. I would encourage others with forensic kits to spot check people -- if the murderers are being cautious and laundering, it takes 50% longer for them to win. If they're not being cautious, they may actually get caught.
Then, we would then have four bodies tomorrow (2 unrobbed from today + at least one night kill tonight + tomorrow's lynch) which we could use to force two suspected murderers to rob, which could cost them up to two nights (one for the wasted stalk, one for the robbing graves).
2. Anyone who's murdered last night has at minimum two insanity. Town should have a maximum of 1 insanity (if they were saved), with the possible exception of town-animorpherv, who would have 2. Anyone with occult books can use them on anyone except for animorph and Ellibereth (claimed 2 insanity), or CSL/Phate/Hayker (claimed 1 insanity). If you get back a "more insane" result, you have scum.
Now, as to people who I suspect to be murderers, I still suspect Ellibereth, but Ellibereth is not a good lynch for today (but should be made to rob graves tomorrow). I mostly suspect Drench and dramonic -- both went murderer in SA 1, and I don't doubt that they would be inclined to do so again. Sajin dying really, really, really makes me suspicious of dramonic. The only thing that throws a wrench in murderer-Drench is the quite-new defense of CSL.
Ellibereth: Ellibereth's entire reaction at the beginning of the day seems...wrong. All caps, "IF THEY'RE TOWN", etc (in #1102 - #1104). It all seems so...forced. Especially considering the obvious possibilities:
1) Cult-CSL would almost certainly get res'ed.
2) Town-CSL may or may not get res'ed, but in this case, you're killing town. Useless town, but still town.
It is easy to block a kill that you know is going to happen, so Ellibereth's constant repeating of "I'm going to kill CSL tonight" from d1 is just incredibly self-defeating if her goal is, in fact, to kill CSL. That's why I don't buy it.
Animorph: Should, as I state up above, rob two graves tonight, as long as someone can use forensic tools on him to verify a non-bloody status.
Phate: Claiming to be the target of the ritual (as opposed to the ritual or a murder) is kind of scummy; similar to saying "Bob is the SK" in a mafia/SK game. Interestingly enough, Hayker does the exact opposite of this, claiming to have been murdered. A small thing, but interesting.
Things I would like:
1) Some semioldguy postings.
2) Hayker/CSL/Phate resuscitators to claim I simply find it incomprehensible that the three murder victims are the three resuscitators.
3) Someone with a forensics kit (who is not animorph) to claim, so they can check animorph tonight.
4) A Drench or dramonic lynch today. Animorph is a bad lynch, as he can be checked. Ellibereth isn't a terrible lynch, but I'd prefer to simply make her rob two graves tomorrow night for the time being.
5) Random forensic kit/occult book checks tonight.
