Hello Hello again!

No deadline until at least a day past the turn of the year. Go out and do (IRL) things!
Lilia2010-12-31 21:07:12
I keep meaning to post, but I don't want to be the one to start it up again. Oh well, here goes. Solanis was intending to go after Phoebus next, so I think we should be looking at her. Also, is there anyone who happens to know who AllergictoSabres hung out with last night? That would tell who the last Death Eater is, so I guess no one knows, or they would have said something by now.
Ssaliss2011-01-02 18:46:30
I'm back in full force again. How about the rest of you?
Ileein2011-01-02 18:55:36
I am also back.
Diamondais2011-01-02 18:59:16
I just got back today!
Unknown2011-01-02 19:19:34
Yeah hi.
Mirami2011-01-02 21:18:24
Hi. Feel free to resume your usual debate over who gets tossed of the Astronomy Tower next!
Gleip2011-01-02 21:43:54
My vote is staying where it is. You other guys can start commenting cause I ain't seeing anything better at the moment, unless someone has something hugely tainting to throw at Phoebus whom is my second on the suspect list.

I think Gleip voted for me as well? At least someone else did.
Diamondais2011-01-02 22:26:53
Oh, I was under the impression that there was more, guess I was thinking of another day. laugh.gif Right, I remember today is the day that Feyrll made the big post that poked at Ssalis and Phoebus.
Gleip2011-01-02 23:57:11
Yup. I've a vote on Ssaliss.
Ssaliss2011-01-03 00:24:59
Been reading through the entire thread again, and did notice a few odd things:

  1. Solanis aiming at both Trinit and Caerulo, and both turned out scum. He also said Phoebus was next on his list.
    • My problems with this is that one: It doesn't seem as if he actually knew who the rest of the Death Eaters were. Caerulo was rather easy to spot, after all. If he knew who the others were, I would hope that he had said that. Or, it could be that was his way of saying that.
  2. Everyone Feyrll has been voting for has ended up dead. On day 1, she voted for Vendetta, he ended up lynched. On day 2, she voted for Jack, who was nightkilled on night 2. On day 3, she voted for Caerulo, who ended up lynched.
    • Could just be a coincidence, of course, but it looks odd to me.
    • If we extrapolate from my thoughts about Solanis and make the assumption that she's a Death Eater (no, I'm not saying she is; this is purely a "what if" situation), it might mean that she didn't actually know who the rest of the Death Eaters were. Considering all their communications apparently went through Trinit, we have no way of knowing what he told the rest of them.
    • She also made the odd remark about how we could've used Rika right after she died, as well as her post which only brought up half the story (at least in my case, I don't know what the rest of you think).
    • One of her posts during the Trinit/Solanis discussion also struck me as odd; she said "SO REALLY FAST, DECIDE WHO TO BACK", while she herself voted for Jack because he was inactive. Huh?

Which means that I have two people I'm suspicious of... Either Phoebus, who has admittedly been acting a bit odd, and was going to be targetted by the inside man, or Feyrll, who also have had her (very) odd moments.

That being said, my vote will fall upon Feyrll. Her comment of "defensive of Trinit as not just innocent but possibly the doctor role" is just flat-out a lie; I was correcting her claiming he was a roleblocker, and the following argument was about his claim, not my thoughts about it. Also, "supportive of Gleip at inconvenient times"? The only time I was supportive of Gleip was this day, and even now I don't trust him implicitly (heck, I voted for him on day 2). I voted for Vendetta during day 1 because I found his actions odd, not because Gleip voted for him. (Nor do I see me being supportive of Gleip as any kind of scummy behavior, but that's another issue entirely).

So, in closing: Vote: Feyrll
Ileein2011-01-03 16:55:52
Having re-read the arguments (phew), I might be willing to vote for Ssaliss, but I'd like a response to the above from Feyrll first, considering she's the one bringing most of the accusations against him at this point.
Ssaliss2011-01-03 17:31:13
I'm rather interested in hearing her response as well. Plus, she still hasn't mentioned why she found me "wishy-washy", which was apparently part of her reason to vote for me.
Ssaliss2011-01-04 03:19:27
I had an odd thought just as I went to bed, and went back at the NK posts... Here they are, quoted (and slightly cropped for your viewing pleasure, removing roles, DE-counts and the Irish):

=====The Daily Prophet: Morning Edition====================
It is with a heavy heart that we report today that our own beloved Rika has been found dead. Suspicions of He Who Must Not Be Named's involvement have been rumoured, although per official policy the Auror's office has neither confirmed or denied the rumour. However, confidential sources within the Ministry indicate that the Dark Lord was involved.

====THE DAILY PROPHET: MORNING EDITION==================
Breaking news this morning-- the Ministry of Magic reports that last night, the Death Eaters made an attack on Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge while he was sleeping at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and Wizardry. The Ministry assures us that the Minister is alive and well, although the Aurors' office refused to comment on the matter before this paper went to be enchanted, citing an ongoing investigation.

The Dark Lord is Slain! Rejoice! Celebrate! Spread the news!

In more depressing news, a dude named Jack is dead.

Good Riddance.

There's a giant swamp in the corridors, and a surprisingly large number of people aren't wearing their usual robes...

The dark mark hangs high over the castle, above Solanis' body.


Something I noticed was that night 0, there were "rumors and indications of the Dark Lord being involved". Nothing more substantial than that, no mark or anything.
At night 1, we have a confirmed attempt by the Death Eaters trying to kill Fudge. No beating around the bush there.
Night 2, "a dude named Jack is dead. Good riddance." No mentions of a mark or Death Eaters.
Night 3, we actually see the first Mark, when Solanis was killed. That's a pretty clear sign of Death Eaters.

Which means that on odd nights, we have confirmed Death Eater kills or attempts. On even nights, there are indications and rumors at best. This made me remember another post made by Lilia (which after a while was dismissed, but now I'm not so sure anymore):

QUOTE (Lilia @ Dec 16 2010, 11:50 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
That's weird, I was told night 0 was even. Or maybe I misunderstood what I was told.

And a few posts later:

QUOTE (Lilia @ Dec 17 2010, 10:57 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I don't have a power that can only be used on certain nights. I must have misinterpreted what I was told.

At the time, Solanis was crusading against Trinit, so that might be why it's been overlooked. Also, among the three DE that has been killed (or two, if you don't count Snape), Trinit was the only one with a nightkill. Snape had no powers at all from what I could gather, and Gibbon could turn day into night once. Still, someone died during night 2 and 3 after Trinit was lynched. Could be a sign that the DE can only collectively kill someone during odd nights and our mystery group can kill during even nights? If so, Lilia is looking mighty suspicious...

And yes, I hesitate posting this, since it might be seen as an attempt at misleading further. But I felt it might be a crucial piece of the puzzle, and since I'm off to bed, I didn't want to wait until morning in case I got ninja-lynched. Take it for what it is (or what you think it is). Most of the post is just quotes from other posts anyway.
