Ok I was ISO'ing DS and spotted that he mentions cult before ABR posts his census results on the thread. Granted it was with reference to how ort recruitment could have been cult or mafia.
I thought this might be a good time to test out who else mention "cult" before ABR's post. I have a tell (it is an offshot of Jeep's "every player wants to subconsciously tell you their role") wherein the first few players to mention the SK or cult in a thread are most probably the SK or cult. (Unless they have a role connected to it like psychologist).
I went back to each page and did crtl-f to see who mentions the word "cult"
CryMeARiver -(22)
Mina (34) - in response to CMAR's comment. Uses 'recruit' too
Parama (405)
DarkStalker (561) - Talks about how ort could be a cult recruit
Fate (573)
Nikanor (845) - in response to Parama calling him cult (misses out SK here?)
ABR states that there is a cult in the game @ 965
I would expect the cult leader to be in one of the category to have mentioned cult before ABR did. Therefore you have your cult leader in (CMAR, Mina, Parama, DS, Fate, Nikanor).
Post ABR's reveals one would expect cult mentions to go up. Number of mentions post that:
Iece - 14
DS - 10
MO - 9
Fate - 5
ooba - 5
Nikanor - 4
Parama - 3
Plum - 3 (A few on how cult\mafia are a threat to town while she isnt)
Katy - 3
Chrono - 2 (in response to people calling his revivor ability cult)
TNM - 2
Dram - 1 (Why limbo is not cult)
SB - 1
Albatross - 1
I am ignoring ABR\Tar\DTM cult mentions
DS is the cult leader
1. Abnormal number of cult mentions
2. I think this line is pretty telling : "Asuming ABR is telling the truth we do have a cult but given that spyreX claimed endless and didn't seem to be acting cultish
I rather doubt all endless are cult.
" - this is a slip.
Oh and probable role:
Cthulhu - Great old ones. If you think Kinetic wouldn't put the cult leader in GOO, ever heard of a double bluff?
I know cult hunting is Mafia 101 but w\e.
