night five - killers

[guestcontrol]

special guests night five 28 players remaining. There's no way to mark the passage of time after lights out, but it isn't long before the lightbulb in your bedroom flickers back to life, and your door unlocks. Make your way into the park; the door will unlock for you, and the path you need to take lights up with a dim red glow. When you reach the foot of the treehouse, a ladder has been dropped for you. Climb up and come inside. The interior of the treehouse has been made comfortable for you. There's an old map of the park on the wall, as well as the mounted and stuffed heads of cartoon animal costumes on the wall. The decor seems like something of a parody of an upscale hunting lodge, and you're welcome to sit by the fire and enjoy snacks from back home, or relax in one of the outdoor hammocks. Enjoy yourself as you decide who to kill. After all, you're in on a little secret - none of this is real, and it's all part of a fun little game from which everyone, winners and losers alike, will wake up. current character statuses rulebook profiles All night votes will be due October 4 by 7 PM EST.

a logistics note

[cheats]

It occurs to me that there may be a smarter way to approach this, by the way.

[ Even though they've pretty much decided, Ciel thinks that especially with their "true" target tonight, there's a chance he could be protected, so... ]

With how the medical team works, they're more likely to pick someone quite in danger, correct? And tonight, that could be K, though I still doubt they would take the risk with leaving Missile unprotected for a night. So just from a tactical standpoint, wouldn't it be wiser for us to technically choose Kaoru, since we know they're paired? If I understand the rules correctly, this would mean that if K was protected for some reason, we could still wake up Kaoru and at least have one for the night instead of no one like we would if we had picked K. If they're not protected, it would hardly matter, but just in case.

[eventhandler]

This is a logical strategy. K is...popular, to say the least. It would be probable that he would be protected at least once, during this game...

[cheats]

He's going to lose his popularity if he keeps deciding that random people are worth less than others, but—

[ He grumbles, shaking his head ]

With any luck, we can at least slow that process.

[eventhandler]

At the moment, I don't...really think many people have noticed. But we should take care of him earlier rather than later...

[cheats]

No, they haven't, which is incredible, considering he decided that Levi deserved to die just for being a moron.

[ He shrugs ]

My goodness, with his harsh attitude, he may as well be the mystery bomber.

[eventhandler]

Then again, Gundam pointed at one person and we all ended up voting for him...clearly, the whole lot of them are just...not in their right minds, to say the least.

Do you think the bomber is one of us? Truly?

[cheats]

At least Gundam recanted, in my opinion. K hardly seemed to care. He was willing to have anyone killed for the sake of blocking a conversion.

[ Which Ciel could understand if he was in the normal guests' shoes, but since he knows it's not that bad, it comes off as especially cruel. ]

But I don't know, honestly. It's possible, but the more our pool narrows, the more unlikely I find it. It would require a special level of ruthlessness, wouldn't it? It's not a quality I see in people here, exactly.

Oh, Ibuki will change her vote, then!

[cheats]

Hopefully it won't matter at all, but just in case... If we target someone who we know who they're paired with, we should likely pick the less obvious one.
