    Damn you! My terrible secret has been revealed!

    P.S. That's why I specified that he couldn't control nature. :lol:

    P.P.S. Whoops. Okay. So upon further review, originally I didn't specify that. I did now though. Retroactive-like. Anyone got a problem with that?

I think I'm going to have to reread your post again.
    I thought that was strange too, especially since I had already done that same call out for specials based on his request, and since he was already in contact with the guardian and vigilante. What he told me was that he was trying to see if there were maybe some extra specials, as unlikely as that is in a game this size.

    After voting closes I pm him and tell him my target, and he hooks me up with thorgot (who claims to be the seer) and the guardian.

    Then the narration comes, and Eaglelaser dies in a very seer-ish way (more on that later). The guardian and I both become wary of thorgot due to this, and agree to swap PMs.
    This is really odd, why the hell would Thorgot want to lie about this sort of thing? Was he eager to be part of an alliance so that he would be protected from the vote as well as have the guardian on hand if he believed the baddies were out to get him? The final idea could be instead of him being in a 3rd rogue group, could he have possibly been a party that could choose to join either one of the bad guy groups, or the good guys? If so, he may have been gathering information on you and your little group of innocents so that he could betray you later on, this works well with the idea that he wanted all of the specials to come out of hiding to him, so he would know who needed to be eliminated the quickest. It is all very interesting.

    1) Eaglelaser was the seer. This I'm almost positive of, as the mystic having visions (ie, seering) fits in perfectly with the theme of assassins and bodyguards doing the work for me and the guardian respectively. In addition, note that the rogues have assassins as well, again fitting the theme.
    This is pretty obvious. Eaglelaser was the seer. I don't think there could be more than one seer in the game when it was this small.

    3) There are several indications that there are more than one groups of rogues. Eaglelaser's mystic tells him:

    “It is strange, milord. I’m having trouble with the vision. Normally I see red hostility or the bright light of benevolence, but this man has neither. All I can see is the tainted yellow of greed and avarice; far from virtues, to be sure, but hardly dangerous.”
    This is what I based my Thorgot idea on, as I assumed Eaglelaser was seering him due to his weird call on the specials to PM him. He had no special powers per-se, but he wasn't totally innocent and could possibly go evil if he saw fit.

    Again, a reference to a seperate group.
    I think you are correct in your thoughts. Opposition being the innocent councilors while the competition being another group vying for power.

    2) The narration didn't have any hint of thorgot being a traitor. I can't really counter this one much, except to say that it could well be a part of being invisible.
    Remember my theory, he may not have been a traitor....yet.

    So, now that I've raped your eyes with text: Am I missing something? I wouldn't be at all surprised if I had, so rip my theory apart if you can, please.
    What about Larry in all of this? He was the one who set you up with Thorgot in the first place, could thorgot have made him his ally and used this to his advantage? Larry is the only loose end that isn't tied up in your post.

    Great stuff though, I <3 the long and detailed posts. ^^

    I am a failure. Maybe it was by chance that the seer had seer'd him? Well, I still like me theory, as far-fetched as it may be.

    I'm pretty sure Laser was the seer, but I can't be sure. It wouldn't surprise me if their where two groups, but I can't really tell with the evidence at hand.

    As for Thorgot's call for specials to contact him:
    thorgot wrote:
    Since we don't know all the rules, there may be one or two more specials out there. I'm going to post in the thread requesting that "all specials contact me."
    So yeah, we didn't miss out on anything there.

    Why would he have expected the specials to contact him, out of curiosity? I mean, it makes him look suspicious, and it does nothing to convince specials to actually risk revealing themselves just to contact him. Nothing about thorgot makes sense to me... I think I'm going to have to reread your post again.

    Honestly, I don't know why. I didn't worry much about it because at that point I'd already decided to kill him. That, plus 1) I doubted (and still do) that there are any more villager specials, and 2) If there were any, I doubted they would contact him anyway. I agree with your confusion though.

    Visible has stated outright that there are secret roles:
    I'll tell you guys most of the roles. There are a couple I want to keep secret, though.

    That doesn't necessarily mean thor got was one of them, though.

    Lemme try this again; ahem:

    I believe that Thorgot was a special....that wasn't really. I think he was working for one of the rogue groups, or possibly could join a rogue group after a certain amount of days. This would require him (if he was smart) to find out who the seer,vigilante,guardian, and the other assorted specials there were in the game. (Hence his last minute and strange post about the specials contacting him.) He was so worried about getting this information, he lied about what role he played in order to get "in" to the innocent alliance and gain some info on who everyone was.

    I think he was going to betray the innocents at some point and join up with the strongest faction. Think of him as a mercenary if you will. That is just my theory.

    You'd think if he wanted to get in with the rogues, he would have just PM'd Squashua or AcidSerra on the first day, before things went down.

    Maybe he did. Hard to say, at this point.

    Also, we didn't really know that Squash and AS were rogues until the narration. I mean, things looked funny, for sure -- but funny enough that Thorgot would risk contacting a potentially innocent person and offering to be a double agent? Maybe not.

    Yeah, it seems a little far fetched. If the rogues and he were smart, they'd have had plenty of opportunities to get in contact without resorting to something so blatantly reckless.

    Well, I'm heading out in about half an hour, and I may not be back before the voting closes, so I'm going to put in a !vote for Precisionk. He's too unpredictable in every game to get a real read on, and in this one he's straight up useless.

    I think it's pretty clear precisionk is going to die tonight, but regardless, I !vote for precisionk.

    As others have said numerous times, he is completely unpredictable. At worst, we remove a completely usesless innocent who clearly had no intention of participating and contributing. We also remove the suspicion people will always have, wondering whether or not he is a rogue hiding behind a veil of lunacy.
