Murder By The Book - Ender's Game

I was planning to stay mostly silent today after it became clear that roleplaying was anathema. I even had a medium-size fear-filled tirade from Alice, but having refrained from posting that, I found myself without many words, though not without suspicions.

Regarding Slorange's claim, I'm tempted to agree with truegreen's analysis that his actions, along with the coincidental(?*) confluence of a Janitoring/Commuting(?) have caused us to enter Day 2 without any more substantial information that we entered with. However:

Truegreen is a self-professed beginner at this game. While this is edging into the evil and swampy depths of metagaming, which we should never do, obviously the truthful green one is a very fast learner - or - they have been instructed and given a script to read from by the undercover Undercover, placing suspicion on...okay, I just realized how little sense that makes. Yet it's a point to look at, how a beginner is suddenly a statement surgeon. I'm suspicious of truegreen, and conversely, leaning town for Slor.

Let's move on. Schazer, may I please ask you about the alleged connection in between Mirdini and Slorange? You stated that your thoughts into the mafia mindset led to two suspects who 'would' put forward a scum course of action consistent with what we know (again, very little). Having just pulled free, we wade right back into metagaming. I won't disagree with your assessment, though. Since we're so obviously supposed to focus on Slorange, why don't we look into Mirdini?

With regard to behavior regarding Granola and you, Schazer:

(still reading...god. so much text.)

I understand the incentive to lynch lurking peeps, as this is an argument that has been driven deep into the ground. Congratulations. It has worked. Here I am, completely not-roleplaying and hence not being a fucking idiot, apparently. And in our current information-starved state, I'd rather lynch a lurker and get more information out of them, rather than lynch an active player and have one less vote. On that particular debate, I'm siding with Schaz except for the support for a Granolalynch (Granolynch sounded far too much like a no lynch). I'd rather kill someone who isn't here and then get more information than risk mislynching AND losing an active player. But my suspicion stands, mostly centered around his view of Garu as entertainment value. Now that Danielle Steel has stopped posting her copious boatload of volumes, where does that value go now? Can I get your opinion on that, Nola?

Gnauga still seems questionable. Feels as if they're trying to hitch on to Slor to stave off suspicion. That vote doesn't feel nice either, even if it is due to lurking**. But their defense of Slorange has been strong, if a bit sudden, so I would lean more town in his case.

/me sets herself on fire.

Two hours woo! Preparing for all the ninjas.

* or not, as Slor claims that janitoring is rarely a separate action to the kill itself, in which case according to his interpretation the Janitor said 'I'll janitor tonight' and the nexus went wheeeeeeee cyber dies and gets janitored

**though a genuine wagon attempt can be passed off as a prodvote, especially given the precedent set by Slor.
