    The tourists decided to kill Typhus733 the next day. Considering the amount of people dieing per day it didn’t seem all that necessary, but at this point the daily stoning was a tradition. And, just like tradition, they stoned the wrong guy. Typhus733 was just another unlucky tourist, and he would be missed.

    The exciting part of the day occurred in the afternoon. Everyone was just kind of sitting around when TehSpectre said, “how about we spice things up around here? Hey, Life3!” Life3 had about two seconds to turn to face TehSpectre before his head exploded, revealing him to be a Gnome. Although the tourists were happy to see another Gnome die, the exploding head still caused quite a commotion and gave one stab-happy vigilante the opportunity to run DevoutlyApathetic through with his sword.

    DevoutlyApathetic’s disguise-o-tron, sensing that its user was about to die, turned itself off, revealing him to be a Gnome. DevoutlyApathetic knew that his time was up, but he wasn’t about to die without taking anyone else down with him. As the tourists began to notice the profusely bleeding Gnome standing amongst them, DevoutlyApathetic took out the detonator for the loads of explosives strapped to his chest and blew himself up, taking Hylianbunny and Anaximander with him.

    As people ran away from the explosion, precisionk started crying out in pain. His entire body was being consumed with evil green flames. As his charred corpse collapsed to the ground, his disguise-o-tron turned itself off, revealing him to be a cherub.


    THE DEAD
    Typhus733 – Human
    Life3 – Gnome
    DevoutlyApathetic – Gnome
    Hylianbunny – Human
    Anaximander – Human
    Precisionk – Cherub

    So my wild suspicions after the narration include: cj iwakura and OtakuD00D

    Why? Because they just don't look right.

    Following this logic, they might just be gnomish casino criminals - and I don't mean like those guys from Ocean's Eleven - they're more like dirty carnie casino gnomes who perform dark deeds in the middle of the night. That's right - dirty carnie casino-robbing, murdering gnomes: CJ Iwakura and OtatkuD00D. You heard it here first.

    2 gnomes left and one cultist. We might just have some luck yet. Unfortunately, we did not know about PK, but last night did clear another name or two for us to work with.

    We're coming to get you cultist, we aren't finished just yet.

    The way Gnasty phrases that, I've got a feeling either Hylianbunny or Anaximander was our vigilante. If so, rest in peace, having finally killed someone who wasn't one of us.

    Check the roster out. There's a four person gap between Serpent and Grimmy - That's the biggest gap in the roster so far. One of the people in there HAS to be a special. In this case, most likely a Gnome or another Cultist.

    There is at least two other areas where there is just as many people who showed up as human or still a live. So why that particular one and why me? You voted for me yesterday too, if you just want me dead say so, but this is a pretty crap reason to try and get a bandwagon on someone late in the game.

    If you're looking for "gaps" in the roster, there are 3, if you include dead humans too.

    5 person gap between 2 non-humans
    ...
    2. Typhus733 - Human, died round 4
    3. Celebrim
    4. Threelemmings
    5. Inquisitor - Human, resigned round 1
    6. Kilnaga - Human, died of inactivity round 3
    ...

    6 person gap between 2 specials

    12. Mazlo
    13. Serpent - Human, died round 2 [xMagnetx]
    14. cj iwakura
    15. Saburbia
    16. Cantide
    17. Infidel
    ...

    8 person gap at the end
    ...
    41. visiblehowl
    42. FunkyWaltDogg - Human, died round 1
    43. Tabasco
    44. Frosteey - Human, died round 3
    45. Ardor
    46. Anaximander - Human, died round 4
    47. Lignisse
    48. Plutonium - Human, died round 2


    By your argument, the third "gap" is the largest and is more likely to contain a special (hopefully gnome or cultists) although this theory relies on the RNG being fairly even.

    EDIT: Beaten by Saburbia, well this gives the specifics at least.

    We've got 20 people left and it looks like 6 kills per day. I'm not entirely sure how many inactives will go away in tonight's narration, but it means we are looking at 2-3 days left to find 2 gnomes and a cultist.

    I personally these folks are probably active enough to not die with inactivity, which means we should assume we are losing humans tonight for not participating.

    Tehspectre's got a nice amount of luck going with his targets too, makes me wonder if he's got any additional abilities he's not telling us about. Since my records show one missing magnet, I'm wondering if he happens to have it.

    Eh, I had a feeling the bandwagon was coming.

    I'm no cultist or gnome, that's for sure. Dwarf. Kill me if you want, but you're really wasting it.

    Oh, and my justification is just a feeling. Lignisse seems to be staying out of the loop. Could be wrong, but I don't have much else to go by.

    So he can make really poor votes all game and you guys retract your votes on him when he claims to be a special that we've already seen before (but for Cultists instead of Gnomes)? Man, if I'm a baddie I know how to win now ;p

    !OtakuD00D, defend why you made that statement about the roster or prepare to die

    He's the only person I've had real suspicion against the entire game. But thats all it is.... suspicion.

    My biggest concern is that we make sure we don't hand the cultist a victory, the gnomes aren't doing so hot right now as it is. Just because I'm not voting for CJ doesn't mean he will live the night either, we've just got a few things to discuss about his claim.

    Then don't let the cultist convince you he is a dwarf :P

    I mean, odds are CJ probably isn't the cultist. I don't suspect him of being anything other then a barely active player at the moment... as his vote on TS the other day could be attributed. I'm just saying even though people are inactive I just find it funny (like haha funny, not ironic funny) that two people accuse CJ of being evil, then CJ says hey guys im not evil, and then you guys retract.

    Because cj is right. Sometimes you have to vote for someone just because they seem "off" to you. Even if nobody else feels that way (knock on wood).

    I would like to !vote for OtakuD00D due to his extremely tenuous grasp on statistics.

    Listen, "gaps" have no effect on gnomishness. Assuming Gnasty randomly distributed roles, then ANY 4- or 3- or X-person group is equally likely to contain a gnome as any other group. If I randomly choose 4 people who are alive, they are just as likely to have a gnome as your "gap".

    I dunno, I wish TehSpectre had voted for someone. Apparently he's got some kind of network going; I think it's pretty clear he's not on the gnomes' side. Until the inactives are culled (which includes me if I don't get my ass in gear) I think it'd be better to vote for whoever TehSpectre votes for, if only so that we're sure not to hit someone in the network.

    I'm going to get some lunch and think on it.

    So Threelemmings, digger dude, minigunwielder, and visiblehowl look like good targets to me. I know they've been listed as inactives, but I'd rather cover the bases and losing them alongside of getting other kills may cost us a day. Besides, it's possible they may post enough to stay alive today, so we've decided to play it safe.

I also don't know if a low post count this game says "trying to hide" or "actually spent time with their Mother on Mother's Day weekend." :) ...or, you know, Phalla Phatigue.

    How does killing inactives gain us a day if they are just going to die tonight anyway?
