Isn't sane and insane suppose to result in opposite? If you are insane cop, every mafia will turn out innocent and such. That's what I meant by "got confused between different and opposite". The role may be the same, but results in opposite, which means even by lie detecting and it gets a possitive from "I'm a cop" or "I'm a bus driver", the role could still act as insane.
Really, with this game, I wouldn't know what to expect, you can't really predict what the host is thinking. I think what Rantai said could be possible.

Anyway, I have a statement that I propose to check (just to get this rolling).

My role sends a message to someone else who I'll be able to ask if they got the message to confirm my sanity.
foulcoon
I think that's a possible statement but I'd like it revised. Does your role prevent you from role claiming?

Then again, when I was sensor in a previous I could not role claim and I also could not say that I wasn't allowed to claim. Just let me know.

Perhaps a better statement would be:

"rust45's role allows him to communicate privately with other players."
Rantai
My question is, where does that actually get us?

Good point. I guess all that would do is confirm rust's own state of sanity or insanity and we would have to blindly trust him. Though his description of his role doesn't really make it seem like he would be the killer?

Well it's not quite that. I'm a friendly neighbor that just says hello and tells them I'm town. I can't discuss anything with others. If that's what my role really does, then I can ask the player I talked to if he received my message.

I'll rephrase it:

"My role allows my to send a message to someone that confirms that I am town"

I could see it being possible- maybe whoever he tries to send a message to is actually NK'd. Besides, I'm not sure picking single people and finding out more about their roles is really the best use of the lie detector- even on the best case scenario we only learn about 1/9 of us.
rust45
Well, yes, I was just putting something on the table so maybe we could get ideas. But keep in mind working with multiple people in one lie-checked statement won't be very helpful at all, as if one part of the statement is false, then we don't know what part.
bmin11
rust45's role doesn't seem to be a mafia-like role at all. I don't think it would hurt doing so. By the way, is it possible to screen shot the night action PM?
Rantai
That is basically quoting.

Unless you're talking about something else.
bmin11
k nevermind that was stupid
akrolsmir
So, what the heck are we doing?
bmin11
Is there even a mafia in this game?
akrolsmir
There might not be, given that we don't even get to lynch people. In which case this really is some deceptively titled game.
Rantai
It's not a mind mafia game without the second guessing.

That said, I think it will be -

1 Killer, 8 idiots (townies, yeah :))

Or

1 Killer, 1 sane mafia, 7 idiots.

And of course, by idiot I mean nothing derogatory to anyone.
SYSEN
the killer have a good winning chance here since
1. the Killer will win if the town runs out of medicine.
or all the townies flatted to the ground because killed or cured.......
at least he stay safe within the range to be detected by lie detector
rust45
You know, how would the mafia even know who is their partner(s)? I mean, with misleading roles they could easily kill or give medicine to one of their own.
Rantai
Ok you know what? We're getting no where.

We're almost certain to get a negative response from this, given that only one in nine of us are sane. Unless rust45 lied to us for some reason. Anyways, I agree this isn't going anywhere so Vote Lie Detect: "My role allows my to send a message to someone that confirms that I am town"

There has got to be a more succinct way of putting that.

Good idea, but perhaps the lie detector is construed so that it only reveals a player's view rather than the objective truth, like a real-life lie detector.

For clarification- In real life, if I believed that the sky was pink, and stated this on the lie detector, it would verify that the sky is pink even though objectively it's not.

If this is the case, it might be more prudent to have rust45 make a new post instead of you, because he has definite opinions on the matter while you are uncertain whether he's lying.

But for lack of a better option at this point, unvote, vote: foulcoon's post.

Everyone should just roleclaim and we each take turns using our role?

That would take 9 turns and that experiment can be manipulated by the killer as well.

LadySuburu
The machine churns and churns, and appears to break down... but it seems this time it's still functional and ready for another use.

That was a mod bonus since I wasn't clear and since nobody knows who the killer is yet.

SPOILER
Hint: "My ability targets 1 person." Would be vague enough for the detector. Likewise, "I protected X last night." Figure the rest out on your own.

Also, I should give this game slightly longer on deadlines since you can vote both on a detect and a cure. (Which, if you're not using either vote No Cure or wait till deadline.)

So, two day bonus.
bmin11
Ok so we gotta figure it out from nothing. Roleclaim could be the choice, but I'm not sure if this is going to help, or even just cause confusions :?
akrolsmir
Hint: "My ability targets 1 person." Would be vague enough for the detector. Likewise, "I protected X last night." Figure the rest out on your own.
So our statements are supposed to be vague rather than specific? I thought it was the other way around...

Possible posts to detect on:
"The only non-town faction is the lone killer"- if we can use it to speculate the setup
"rust45's ability will not inconvenience the target"- might be more likely to work, it's more vaguely phrased
"this is a post"- to test the sanity of the lie detector?

Anyways Vote: No Cure so at least we can get that out of the way.
bmin11
How about "the only sane role is the killer". This would confirm if we should try to figure our sanity or not

Although he won't know it, the Killer will win if the town runs out of medicine.
I took this to mean that the killer is confirmed insane, and someone else out there just happens to be sane.

Sane/Insane = Role Type

Not alignment... unless we need to all agree on that too.

Well now that we know how that things works, I say we push for our next opportunity.

Vote: Keep that drug cabinet locked :P

No drug

Double post because animask is a ninja, I agree with akrolsmir.
akrolsmir
We probably should get our terminology straight so we don't start confusing one another. The OP stated:

It's known that only one of you is sane.
And I assumed that meant only one of our roles is exactly equivalent to what the role PM stated, and everyone else had an actual role different from the stated one. I took the former to mean "sane" and the latter "insane". This differs from the traditional definition (which only applies to cops if I'm reading the wiki correctly), but it'll probably be more appropriate for this game. Unless you want to use "deluded" or something instead to avoid confusion?

So basically I was saying that the killer has no idea that s/he is the killer.

This seems better to me as the killer may actually be considered insane but still know that they are the killer. (Such as a serial killer)

I think that's a majority for No Drug today.

I'm about 90% sure that's going to return a negative result, based on the OP as I mentioned before. If the detector doesn't just break on us instead. But I don't have any better ideas, and at least this could test the sanity of the detector. Plus, I might be wrong. So:

This is what I was wondering about (and why I asked about sanities). I wasn't sure if "sane" in this case was referring to the definition that I thought only applied to cops. :? I assume that in this case "sane" means that they don't know what they actually are, since it would make a lot more sense in this particular game.

I already voted no drug, didn't I? o.o If not, vote no drug :?

Currently, I'm willing to vote for no drug and "The killer is aware that they are the killer" statement. But before voting, I want to hear if Q or foulcoon has a better idea. We still have 37 hours anyway.

even we got 100 hours left...we can't do anything since we have no clue or something suspicious......
unless somebody got crazy and random vote on someone that will make this discussion suddenly heat up

I'm just saying they could come up with different statements or something. Why seal the possibility?

Mod note: When a cure is hammered, the day ends. When No Drug is hammered, the day ends only if the lie detector has been used. If it hasn't, the day will end when it has. At that point you cannot unvote the no drug, however.

The cure was not used D1.

It is now Night 1. Please send all night actions within 24 hours.

In the morning, the corpse of Index-san was found.

Index-san - Roleblocker - Killed Night 1

It is now day 2. With 8 alive, it's 4 to cure and detect.

At the request of players, here's a definition of "Sanity" for this game.

Sanity determines if a player knows his role exactally or not. Same as in the case of an Insane Cop, who believes they are a regular cop. However, in this game your real role may have nothing to do with your 'known' role.
akrolsmir
Do we mass roleclaim, now? Since now everyone probably has a general idea of their actual roles.
Sleep Powder
Oh, it was Night 1 already?

Well, I didn't use my role like requested anyways...

Roleclaim: Bus Driver "supposed role" anyways...

Did the killer use their role last night?

There's no way we can quite be sure about what our roles actually did. And what would we roleclaim exactly?
akrolsmir

rust45 wrote:

You, at least, should have a good idea about what role you have.

It'd be helpful to claim both the role you were PM'd originally, and your current suspicion of your true role based on the result from the night.

(Not roleclaiming for the moment because I want to see if rust's claims matches mine)
pieguyn
I was told I was a cop, but my role didn't seem to do anything.

I might actually be a doctor, or perhaps something else :?

I was told I was a neighbor (as I've stated before) but from the results from last night, I seem to be able to diagnose people by their sanity. As when I used my role. I was told insane. My target was Index though so the info is useless.
pieguyn
Oh also, I targeted foulcoon, but as I said it didn't seem to do anything.

So, it seems that only one of us actually has the role we were told we had (and we also know the killer was not told he was the killer). :? For some reason, I'm inclined to think there's some huge catch that we're missing that will cause a mass roleclaim to fail (I'm sure LadySuburu would take steps to make sure that wouldn't work this time). However, I think at that point it's the best choice we've got.
foulcoon
I was told that I was the Night Vigilante. I targeted animask (sorry bro) but it appears to not have done anything.

FoS: rust

His claim sounds a bit convenient for me, yet I don't really know if we have enough information to start a drug vote for today. Did anyone else target Index-San?

I also wonder if its possible that the killer could target one player and kill another... It seems unlikely though since there would probably need to be a bus driver and animask didn't try his role.

Does anyone think that they could be the sane one?
Sleep Powder
Okay... before I use my role. Does anyone want to volunteer to be targets?

I think the best way to do this is to give out all information that we have received and work together.

Anyone who doesn't cooperate is most likely to think that they are the killer.

In case you think someone is suspicious and is lying (on purpose) we can use the lie detector on them.
rust45

animask wrote:

We've already been told that the lie detector will only work on vague statements.

Also foulcoon, if I had any sort of thought that I was the killer, I wouldn't had said I had targeted Index. If I am the killer, than why would I be told the sanity of my victim? It wouldn't really make much sense at all.
bmin11
Told to be a vote theif. I have targeted rust45 N1 and haven't recieved any notification. Also reading rust45's post, I don't think he is aware of the vote theif neither, so I'm guessing I'm insane as well.
foulcoon
I understand. I just thought it was weird that you targetted Index-San. Reading Index's last posts gave me the impression that you might feel the need to kill him.

I guess I'll remove that FoS from rust.

Did anyone other than animask here choose not to use their role?
Rantai
I was told that I am a psychiatrist. I 'cured' rust45 last night.

I am not sure if it worked or not (received nothing), I think only rust could tell me that.
rust45
As far as I can tell, nothing happened to me, the only PM I received last night seemed to have to do with my own action.
Rantai
Alrighty, clearly my role is null too.
Rantai
Assuming everyone is not a lying scumbag, <3

What we've got so far is:

- Rantai --> rust45 - No result

- pieguy1372 --> foulcoon - No result

- rust45 --> Index-San (dead) - "Insane response"

- bmin11 --> rust45 - No result

- foulcoon --> animask - No result

- animask --> No action

- Index-San --> Dead

Nothing from - Quaraezha and akrolsmir

Think pieguy could actually be some kind of amnesiac cop with rust45 being the enabler? (assuming I got the names right)
akrolsmir
Alright, rust45's statement affirms that I'm insane. I was told I could track someone and chose rust, but I never found out who he was trying to target.

On that note, is there anyone here who thinks they are sane? We know one of us is (and not the killer)...
Rantai
I'm willing to bet it was either animask or Q (who is sane).
Rantai
Double posting!

"The sane player has used a night action"

Think that's vague enough to be used?

OH damn. What if the only sane player is vanilla?
akrolsmir
It's reasonable that it's animask, given that I can't think of any other utility for a role with 2 targets. Rust, could you target him next round and tell us his sanity? Given that you seem to be a cop that can determine people's sanities, and if he is sane we can conclude that everyone else isn't.

We could also use the lie detector to this effect today, but I'd like to hear Q weigh in first in case he's the sane one.
akrolsmir
Random observation: Ladysuburu's emphasis, considering the OP, seems to be "outside the box" thinking. So what if the fundamental premise that the killer is a role consistently assigned to one of us is incorrect? I can think of some ways this might be true:

1. None of us are the killer and it's just LS messing with us. (somewhat unlikely given that the results of the lie detector day 1)

2. Every round, one of us randomly becomes the "killer" in addition our normal abilities. This may have happened to rust45 during the previous night, thus leading him to inadvertently kill his target in addition to his investigation. (This would match the results of the lie detector.)

3. One of us actually has the ability of assigning someone else to target the killing. I came up with this just based on the fact that rust45's investigation target died, and many of us targeted rust45 without an apparent result. In other words, someone has the ability of killing the target of their target. Candidates for this would be bmin, Rantai and me (and maybe Q). This would also match the results of the lie detector.

Anyone think that any of these theories is plausible?
Rantai
1. Doubt it.

2. I am not going to put it past LS to do that to us. Plausible I guess.

3. I think it's a little too stretched. Especially considering if the killer targeted someone who doesn't have an ability/passive ability.
Rantai
Then again only Q could possibly have this 'passive role'. Or someone is lying to us.
bmin11
There shoudn't be a reason to hide if the role is passive or active.

Notice how rust45 was the only one whose role did anything? Maybe once you're "cured" you're capable of actually doing something during the night round, even though it's not what you were originally told. It might be a coincidence (since we don't even know if Rantai is sane), but still, this seems odd. :o
Sleep Powder
I keep thinking rust is the killer... or a "serial killer".

I think either rust45 or I am the killer. (ooo, worst gambit ever)

Is the sane character the killer? I'm confused... (probably because I'm posting 20 minutes after waking up)

Unfortunately not, judging by the lie detector result yesterday. So determining the sane person out of the group does nothing but give us one person who is not the killer of the remaining 8.

Haneii wrote:

rust's confirmed insane in the sense that his actual role does not match his PM'd role. (He was told he'd be a friendly neighbor in the role PM iirc). It appears that his actual role is to act as a "sanity" cop of sorts, and I would endeavor that his results in this area are accurate, just because knowing sanity has very limited utility anyways so LS probably wouldn't bother to mess with it on top of what she's already done.
bmin11
I don't even know if my role suppose to be notified anyway. So...

Unless something comes up that proves otherwise, for now I'll assume Rantai's sane :)

- pieguy1372 --> foulcoon - No result

- Q/Haneii --> --> No action

- Index-San --> Dead
Haneii
Someone knows they killed last night but is now lying about it since they know we''ll drug them. Good thing we have a lie detector.

Fos: Everyone except Rantai

- rust is at the bottom of my list

- akrolsmir is at the top (Why wait before you told us your action? To see if his claim matches yours? But you're known/pm role doesn't "do" anything to it's target (ie: info gathering role). Regardless of what rust would end up saying you should have known that you're insane because you were never told who rust was targeting.)

If you plan on using it on specific statements, it won't work, we found out in D1 that it would cause it to break down and become unusable.
