First of all, Sacred, I've been one of the lead contributers in the thread regarding the previous writeups. Go back and check. I've thoroughly analyzed every write up and put forward my two cents.
You just affirmed yourself on top of my suspect list. Lead contributing?
I agree. We should at least try to apply logic to our decisions.
We should wait to accuse people; at least until we get a clue. I know they could be rigged, but it's better to go off of something than nothing.
Fucking yes. We need to gather more opinions on the matter and wait to see how the story progresses.
Where?
I'm going to completely analyze the entire last paragraph. Keep in mind, I'm not suggesting we vote for anyone yet, nor am I accusing anyone. Do your own research when choosing to vote; this is what I have to put forward:
This could be a misdirect, getting us to think AI was not present when the crime occurred. On the other side, assuming this is not a misdirect, this segment could be here to try to convince us that AI is not affiliated with the killer(s) at all, while he could very well be one.
This was already pointed out by other players, before you.
We should refer back to the claims and statements Golden made before his death.
We can clearly see Golden's suspicions of Gamer in this quote. Gamer may have seen Golder as a threat for suspecting him, and decided he needed to go.
The same Gamer you bandwagoned on and then off of?
I don't even need to underline anything here. It's entirely possible that Purp3L took this to heart and chose to take him out.
This doesn't help much.
We need to look for players who's usernames would imply they have some affiliation with fruit. Atomicapple would probably be the first choice, but who else may possibly have something to do with cherries?
Read below.
The kanji here directly translates to "Sino-Japanese War". The second Sino Japanese War, which is more commonly referred to as World War 2, ended with two atomic bombs being dropped on Japanese soil. This again points to Atomicapple. Although this is a seemingly very big strike against Apple, would a killer really leave behind such a blatant clue? This could very well be a misdirect, but it's for you to decide. I'm on the fence about this one...
The Sino-Japanese War was already being discussed by others. You revealed information we were already bound to discover. No "leading" here.
This may very well be a misdirect. The "Uhh" part doesn't seem very convincing, and I feel like Scarecrow would respond by phrasing his answer in a different way, especially when making a claim about the cause of death. He'd most likely back up his experience in the field of eastern medicine, saying something like "I have many years of practice in blah blah and blah." If I was him, I'd want people to know I knew what I was talking about, rather than responding with "Uhh..."
This was an opinion on an eventually ignored aspect. And we all know now Scarecrow was innocent.
I'd also like to point out what Zed said (in the writeup):
First of all, it's a bit suspicious that Zed left the group to go by himself. Since the story doesn't elaborate more, we don't know if Zed ever reached his proclaimed destination. He could have been out picking cherries...
This was speculation and opinion once again made by you.
---
Don't take these as accusations, it's simply my take on what's been provided for us.
Also, like I've done with Golden in this post, if a player ends up eaten, we should note everything they said and everyone they voted for before being killed.
You're stating the obvious here. We know to do this.
In this post you pushed for AtomicApple to be lynched because the clues pointed to him. And as we all know, he turned up innocent. So this "lead contributing" thing here practically falls entirely.
So back to, Where?!
I still can't get over this line from the writeup. I understand it could just be a plain threat from the wolves saying we're eventually all going to die and never get back, but if this points to anyone it has to be Exilement.
This was after Azure started pointing the finger at Exilement. But you never actually
voted against him. You could easily be trying to sway the public into thinking you're not in cahoots with him by slipping this in. And if you're gonna use this quote as leverage, then I can use the fact that I lead the Exilement lynch as leverage.
So where?!?!
I don't think we can rely on patterns too much. Remember, the wolves are one of us. They're playing with us. They can see everything we say and suggest. (Fucking NSA over here.) The moment we figure out, or at least think we've figured something out, the wolves can just as easily revamp their strategy and style.
Thing is, we have guessed incorrectly on all of the clues, executing innocents for the wrong reasons. We either failed to find the actual clue, or fell bait to the planted clue. In the case of Atomicapple, I'm fairly certain it's the latter.
My question is why are we even considering trying to lynch two people? I can't think of a better way of helping the wolves; hell, we're doing their job if we kill two of our own again.
This is not a valid way to vote, anymore. Didn't you read the post Gyo made a few pages back? He's only accepting the following format:
"I vote for ______ to be lynched."
WHERE ARE YOU CONTRIBUTING IN INVESTIGATIONS?! ALL YOU'RE DOING IS GIVING US ADVICE WE ALREADY KNOW.
You have not thoroughly analyzed all the write-ups like you say. My lynch for you stands. I've done the dirty work for the others. It's up to the rest of you to decide.
