[cat]

So it's 3 votes for cat now, with mine now 4, but now I feel incredibly bad for voting her (and I still think that at best, it's a coin toss between her and VW) which only shows that I'm too much of a wuss for this game :/

Since town wins anyway, I guess we could refrain from voting a potential scapegoat today, let the Psychic get another scan and at worst lynch someone tomorrow to the same effect. Unless it was just roleplay (a very good one, btw )and cat in OOC doesn't mind getting herself lynched.

Yeah. Nothing happened to it, because Josiah still hasn't said anything and we still have two days to change our votes if he does.

Well, I still think my VampireWombat theory is fairly solid

I kinda suspected tzachs for a while too because he had come up with that "let's wait for a PM from dayowlron" thing which then Stupot attempted to use, so I thought that maybe they had staged this.
But then I thought tzachs' idea was rather innocent, so I thought Josiah or VW more likely.

It doesn't, really. I was merely curious. I'm sorry if I annoyed you with that comment, I didn't intend to :/

Myself. In the end it doesn't matter who gets lynched, as long as the Psychic gets another scan.

Yup. And I wonder who will cat decide to vote for if Josiah says she should be lynched.

I... dunno, I kinda believe you because I'd expect a murderer to accuse me back instead to try and get a guest lynched. But being sleepy sounds like a convenient excuse to cover any bold trick attempt, so I would like to hear what others think before I consider changing my vote.

What do you think we should do, anyway?

[VampireWombat]

Poor Mr. Mandle, at the very peak of his professional career... and what do WE do now? A hope, Professor? What makes you say that? Do you really think we can have any hope, stranded on this desolate island with someone killing us off one by one...?

OOC: Despite what the daft douchebag architect I'm roleplaying might think, with the Psychic still alive no matter what happens now the town has already won, so the Party Host may as well reveal themselves.
My gut feeling says it is VampireWombat, because he tried to quietly cast his vote for Josiah yesterday which I see as an attempt to disperse the votes against Stupot, and he did not vote for anyone at start until he saw that Stupot already had three votes. But I may be persuaded to change my vote if someone can see a better candidate.

Unless, of course, Mandle was right and Josiah is the murderer, but if this is the case then I expect Mandle to PM the rest of us with the confirmation that the murderer has been identified (if he does, I'll sure have to both change my vote and apologise to you, VW ).

(PS. tzachs posted the moment before me with pretty much the same thoughts - that we win this way or another and that the Psychic/Mandle should announce if they had found the murderer, but I'll keep my post in its original form anyway.)

Wow. This is awesome. If this is indeed AGS, then you should totally make a small game using this engine and grab your free best coding award in the 2018 ceremony

From the top of my head:
* Is there an option to give poison/blind/silence resistance or immunity to enemies? Or just the elemental resistance?
* Are there area attacks as well, or just single target? (I'd assume higher spell tiers are area attacks - that dragon summon sure looked as if it would have obliterated them all )
* Is 'defend' a random action by enemies, or are there any conditions when they do it?
* Is there any mechanics for player equipment yet that would influence the player stats?
* Do the enemies have the same magic/skill pool as the player characters do, or is it possible to have different sets?
* If they use a shared pool, can you attribute specific skills/spells to specific enemies, or is being able or unable to cast magic the only way to affect their ability pool?
* Have you considered any mechanics to build up resources/energy before a stronger ability becomes usable?

Slasher, sorry I didn't manage to report a couple more bugs yesterday before you re-posted the link:

Spoiler

In quest 1, it is possible to get stuck by going to the far right of the recycling machine screen. I can get you a screenshot if it helps.
In quest 3, the TV job ad has no mouseover description.

If you have fixed these already then please ignore

Sorry for the OT, but I couldn't resist. Is deko-pin some sort of junk food abbreviated in a typical Japanese way that just wasn't a thing a few years ago when I was living there?

Well, if there is one thing you ALL have succeeded in at the same time is making me feel very guillible :/

I think tzachs referred to the bit where you said "Remember back to when the Psychic told me who the Nurse was...", because unless both me and tzachs missed something, you said no such thing. But I don't think it proves your guilt (or innocence) in any way because it could have been a random BS to either get Stupot to contradict himself, or lure the other murderer out to try and lynch you by pointing out this lie.

But tzachs has made an excellent point about us being 3-2 tomorrow in worst case, so I'm going to go ahead with that.

Wait, why would you want to lynch Josiah today? I agree that Mandle's argumentation against him is convincing but it's still just an educated guess by now. We could, of course, lynch Josiah today to test this theory but we also have at least one more scan, so if we know for certain who one of the murderers is, I can't think of any good reason why we should risk lynching someone who might be an innocent guest.

Mr. Josiah, I trust you understand that I cannot join you on your search because I am simply not fit for such dangerous escapades, but if you do find a way to escape this accursed place you should take me with you, and I shall reward you handsomely. In fact, here is a cheque for a sum you should find satisfactory, let me sign it for you. I will have you informed that my solicitor is instructed to check on my well-being whenever such a considerable amount leaves my bank account, but I do trust that you are not of an evil intent. Do we have an agreement?

W-wait a minute... Party Host? How can anyone in such a shabby garment be hosting anything? Not that the place looks any better... Oh, wait... it cannot mean that... you wanted to.... oh, no. HELP!

OOC: It did cross my mind that the other murderer might want to hold off with their vote to see how things turn out, because changing an already cast vote in the last minute just to tip the balance would be suspicious (e.g. if there were 4 votes for Stupot, 3 votes for Mandle and someone changed from Stupot to Mandle in the last moment). That's why I thought VampireWombat might be the murderer, but then he voted.

Then I thought it unlikely for the murderers to believe they would convince anyone to lynch Mandle so why wait, and then... holy cow. The above posts were made.

[Stupot]

Oh dear.... first Miss Riaise, now Mr. Owl?
W-wait... Miss Riaise, an opera singer and Mr. Owl, a person of a lowly profession who sets up the stage for opera singers? That's it! The killer has a grudge against the opera people, so there will be no more killings surely! We must all be safe now!

Professor Wombat, you would surely agree with the deductive reasoning I just did? Please tell me you would...

***
OOC: What tzachs said makes sense to me too. It's indeed obvious that dayowlron must know who the psychic (if Mandle is telling the truth) or most likely the other murderer (if Mandle is lying) is. Mandle said that himself (i.e., that he revealed the psychic's identity to dayowlron) and as I said the day before, I would rather expect Mandle, if he really was a murderer, to keep the nurse alive to make them waste more protections.

Before I saw tzach's message I was going to say I was interested to hear what Stupot has to say for himself, but now I'm even more interested to hear from dayowlron of whether or not there was a "second" psychic contacting him.

So for now I am going to vote to lynch Stupot, but I may change my vote in the (frankly speaking, unlikely) event that someone does contact dayowlron.

Spoiler

I second that. Where is that chewing gum you are talking about???

Spoiler

The boy is chewing it. If you give him the smiley face magnet, he will stick the gum to it. After finishing the game, I replayed it to see if there is any hint at all that the boy is chewing the gum, but I couldn't find anything.

You guys have just made me play Dark Seed.

Ok, great! These are the items other players complained about as well so the rest should hopefully fine. Thanks a million for the extra feedback.

I understood it as a roleplaying hint from Sinitrena to our characters that there are two murderers, so that we can continue roleplaying if we wished to without having to use OOC knowledge of the game rules. But then we kinda stopped roleplaying.
