Serial Killer Round 38: The Round We Make Contact (It's All Over!)

@Steke: Ok, so what I've caught from that wall of text is that you have a lot of speculation and cryptic sources, but you honestly believe what you're saying.

Though admitting you've lied to us in the past...that doesn't really help you moving into the future, if you know what I'm saying.

Still:

He is correct. Ynnek's death is the most beneficial move for us as a whole. With him gone, we will have an instant gauge on who is being honest with us about the list. If you haven't already voted, please vote for Ynnek.

Next time, you might want to cut a lot of the speculation out of your post. Just give us a reasoning and an explanation. It's a lot less confusing to the people who haven't been following along. XP

@Link What happened?

 

[Link_to_Future]

@RaN: Nothing happened. I just needed to rework some phrasing. While rereading it seemed like I was more annoyed than I really was.

Problem fixed now though. ^_^

Edit: Also, you guys are bloodthirsty. I like how your first reaction after beating a guy senseless is to murder him in cold blood.

 

[Nouw]

This is getting me hyped up about who the killer is. Not that I usually don't, just more than usual. I'm also surprised that most of us are still alive. I'm not sure why I assumed that the round was nearing its end.

Agreed. Less dancing around the theory and more solid fact.

Having said that, though, I don't think I'll be returning for the next round of SK. The game has become more stressful in recent rounds, this one in particular due to all the confusion and wild guesses that have been openly made. I need to take a break, length indeterminate: confidants have confirmed this.

Honestly, I don't believe Ynnek is the best target for the votes that have yet to be sent in. But that's just me, a lone voice speaking out against the masses. And often my voice is unheard, thus I am behind when others have surged forward...

 

[Link_to_Future]

@CA: Fair enough. This has been a little more action packed than past rounds. Right up my alley though.

If you don't mind me asking, why not Ynnek? And who instead? I'd love to hear your justification.

 

[CounterAttack]

@Link: I don't have a reason why not, nor do I know who would be a better choice. That kind of thing is best left to someone else: I cannot argue my side of a point to save my life, nor do I survive even the most basic of debates unless all of my statements are solid fact, quoted directly from the source.

If Ynnek really is the Spy, though, then perhaps it would be best to let him live so he can ask his third question.

Edit: @Nouw: We're only on the third cycle. After this six people will be dead out of the thirty-one that started.

 

[Link_to_Future]

@CA: Ok, but consider this.

All that confusion that has been spinning around? It's mostly because there are two spy lists floating around. At least one of them is someone blatantly misinforming us.

Ynnek was in the unfortunate position of both being on one of the lists and being one who sent the other list out. If he is the spy, then we know for a fact what list we are working off of. (Though frankly, now the killer knows who is on that list. We will have to execute all of them if Ynnek is the spy. So...good job Steke?)

Basically, you are recommending a wait and see approach. I'm just afraid that if all that will accomplish is further confusing everyone with further misinformation. XP

@Schizzy: *uses chainsaw toothbrush to cut firewood*

I thought you said this thing wasn't gonna work for that? Also, what i meant by that is you missed a lot of wild speculation, a Xanatos Gambit, the uncovering of said gambit, some more wild speculation, and what might be the beginnings of a plan forming.

 

[Fragrance of Mtn Dew]

@theplotthickening Checking back to the last time Ynnek was the spy and he contacted me, he did include the questions he asked. Given that, it does seem odd that he neglected to do so this time. However, Steke original reason for suspicion seemed to be that the list contained mostly regulars so I'd like to point out the possibility that that may have been related to the questions asked.

According to Neo, this round has a record for new players so I'd think asking a question relating to that would be a good way of cutting a good chunk out of that list. Obviously, I don't know the whole story as I've only seen Ynnek's list that was posted in the thread so this is less than perfect speculation. I just thought I'd throw an argument out there for the hell of it since I'm dead.

 

[Schizzy]

@Malyc: Whoop, my bad. Must've left the toothbrush in my shed bathroom.

@Speculation: I'm just gonna go with letting off the two, Ynnek and Steke. That is, until there's time for all three questions to be asked. Then I'll start killing off our supposed spies.

 

[Nouw]

@CA: Aaah I get it now. There are more people than usually present. At least I think that's right >.>. Thanks anyway for the info!

 

[Link_to_Future]

@Fragrance: But check again. There are two names on that list who aren't like the others. Neither staika or Nouw are on the regulars list. That sort of eliminates that line of questioning unless there is some way of phrasing it that I can't think of.

I have considered that this whole thing might just be an elaborate setup to kill Ynnek off. Frankly, killing him is a risk. If you guys don't want to take it, that's fine. However, I'm going to gamble. WITH LIVES! XP

*passes out*

 

[staika]

What the hell is going on? I thought I had it all figured out but it seems I don't. Now I don't know about you guys but I'm just going to believe the spy message that was sent to me with the questions much like I did before this whole shit storm started.

 

[GrimGrimoire]

@[user]Link[/user] Well I guess this is a little beyond the "elaborate scheme" point now. There are two reasons why I woudn't do that:
1. I have no reason for killing him, unless I think it is the best thing to do.
2. This is way to elaborate and confusing for me to engineer over such a matter. If I were to create such a setup, I would simply point finger in public and cry murderer. And then get trouble when I got aske for evidence.

As for going public with Ynnek89's list? I really don't think that would change that much. In fact, the only immidiate effect I see is that the Killer would't kill the other people on it. Thous saving the life of many regular players, or atleast for now.

And the lies? I knew that they wouldn't hold up in the end, and I could at least be honest about trying to manipulate you all.
It didn't work, so there is no real harm done.

Point is:
Vote as you like, but remember if Ynnek89 is the Killer, we win.
If he is the Spy, we win. For there is few names on that list and many rounds to go.
If he is nothing, the lynching for this round is over, and we can progress to our next set of facts, without having lost anything.

 

[Schizzy]

@staika: I know, right? It's like some terribly played out sitcom. Or shitcom.

Whatever...

All this confusion had me checking on my own vitals. Happy to say that I'm still alive and well.

 

[GrimGrimoire]

@[user]staika[/user] I honestly believe in the same message. It made a lot of sense after all.

 

[staika]

@Schizzy: sadly I was here when it started but I was on a plane going to New York City during the brunt of the speculation and I got to new York only to check again and see that everything was too confusing. So I said Fuck it I'll believe what I want to believe

@stek: I really just gave up trying to figure out what was going on and just believe the things that could be proven to me

 

[Fragrance of Mtn Dew]

@Link Yes, but this also isn't their first round either. That list is missing a number of regulars and a few returning players. If Ynnek really is the spy, I think his first question was asking if this was the killer's first round followed by something else.

I think the possibility that excites/would worry me if I were alive the most is that we may have another case of someone aiding the killer. If Ynnek were the killer, than pretending to be the spy doesn't strike me as the smartest move ever since people will catch on eventually like we currently are. However, if Ynnek is in fact aiding the real killer by pretending to be the spy, then he will have confused the voting for a time before being executed. After dying, since he isn't the killer people will start working through his list assuming his information is legit. But when they get to the end of it, they still will not have found the killer. By that time it will probably be too late I would think.

Of course, the truth is almost never as interesting as I want it to be. Feel free to dismiss all this as the ramblings of a dead man.
