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.

Vote: No drug

And I think a better wording regarding the killer would be. "The killer is aware that they are 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:

The killer is aware that they are the killer.

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.
SYSEN
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
bmin11
I'm just saying they could come up with different statements or something. Why seal the possibility?
bmin11
anyway, 7 votes for no drug (hammered), 4 votes for the statement (1 vote to hammer), and a vote for the not-well-worded statement.

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.

Edit: Fixed wording and added one more thing.

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?

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.

Er, Quaraezha hasn't posted at all in the last week, and I want to find out the results of his role in case he's the sane one... could we get a prod?

    Maybe Rantai's not a psychiatrist (ie: rust was never cured) + if Rantai is sane would his/her action affect rust's action for that SAME night?

    In the case of Index, is there a chance that he could have been the sane person in our group?

As for myself:
roleclaim: doctor

akrolsmir

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

- animask --> No action

- 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.
Haneii
Yeah, I read that - Since I basically suspect nearly everyone I'm finding it really hard to come up with a vague question


Forgot to add before:
For those who targeted rust last night I'm disregarding the chance that you could be an enabler and opting for possible liar. Mainly because I think it would be a headache to have enablers in a game with so many roles + since this game uses a lie detector so a liar would be more likely.
bmin11
- Rantai --> rust45 - Cured
This isn't confirmed unless you believe Rantai is the sane one.

Rereading since I think I missed something...

Maybe we should lie detect this:

The sane person is able to cure the insane people.
That way we'll know if it was just a coincidence...

Regardless, I think that even if the risk of "XYZ is the killer" breaking the detector high, the reward is pretty good. Alternatively, we could say "XYZ targeted Index-san", which probably has a better chance of working.

Does LS decide on case-by-case scenario whether a post is ambiguous enough to be detected? I wouldn't think so, there's probably some hidden criteria that would be good to figure out.

List below is to illustrate the PM'd roles as well as current suspicions.
(PM) - Person --> Target - result (other notes)

---

(Psychiatrist)- Rantai --> rust45 - No result (cured?)

(Tracker)- akrolsmir --> rust45 - No result

(Vote Thief)- bmin11 --> rust45 - No result

(Cop - What kind?)- pieguy1372 --> foulcoon - No result

(Night Vig)- foulcoon --> animask - No result

(Friendly Neighbor)- rust45 --> Index-San - "Insane response" (Sanity Cop)

(Bus Driver)- animask --> No action (Could be sane)

(Doctor)- Q/Haneii --> --> No action (Could be sane)

(?) - Index-San --> Dead (Roleblocker)
bmin11
I'm not sure where that would take us to. You could always target someone else during N2.

How about "Killer cannot kill it's target"? This could possibly help us to believe one of the person who targetted rust45 could be the killer.
Rantai

rust45 wrote:

As selfish as it sounds, Vote: That

How I see it is, if it confirms my sanity then I can go around and start curing systematically.

I should mention, if I target the actual killer my role will not cure him/her. So if I, by chance, did target him/her I would get a null result back with no way to tell if I was sane or not. With the lie detector I can at least confirm whether or not I'm a dud.
akrolsmir

rust45 wrote:

Er... if by "cure" you meant "make them sane and have the ability in their role PM" that clearly didn't happen with rust since he received a result whereas his role shouldn't have had one. I still think animask or Haneii is the best bet in terms of being the sane ones.
pieguyn
No, by "cure" I meant making them able to use a night action and thus discover what their true role really was. (As it is it seems like no one can do anything at all. :? )
bmin11
Still not sure since the killer will immediately NK Rantai if we get a positive result from it. It will become a waste and that's what the killer wants I bet
Haneii
Er... if by "cure" you meant "make them sane and have the ability in their role PM" that clearly didn't happen with rust since he received a result whereas his role shouldn't have had one.[/quote]

So Rantai's insane?

That would mean any of the 3 people who targeted rust could have caused his sanity cop action...or rust is the only one - besides the kille/or is the killer (not counting myself and animask atm) - who can perform an action at night (even though it doesn't match his pm role because he's insane).


I don't think I understand specific vs vague criteria for the lie detector. "My ability targets 1 person" or "I protected X last night" seem pretty specific to me.


How about Killer's name contains an "a" for the lie detector

Answer will narrow things down to 4 people and with 3 vials + more days to use the lie detector we'll have a really good chance of finding the killer :)
akrolsmir
Moreover the chances of getting a positive result aren't very high to begin with so either way it seems like a waste of a detection.

I still want to try "XYZ is the killer/ targeted ABC" just to see if it'll work.
bmin11
also, it doesn't necessarily mean Rantai was the one who cured it. It could be anyone of people who targetted rust45.

Binary searching ftw.

I wouldn't mind trying this because it's extremely beneficial should it work (either true or false), even if the chance of it working isn't high either- I think LS wanted us to use it to try to catch people lying.

Well, isn't it more vague than straight-up "A is the killer"?

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.
Hm... extrapolating based on this, "A targeted X last night" is more vague than "A protected X last night", and "A, B, or C targeted X last night" is even vaguer, so we could say something like "Player A, B, C, or D targeted Index-san last night" where none of those are rust. Or am I just completely off my rocker?
Rantai
I like that a lot better actually.
foulcoon
At this point I'm willing to go along with the majority as I'm stumped as far as lie detector posts go. I sort of liked the letter idea, but we don't know if that will work for sure. Nor do we know if akro's idea will work. Perhaps saying "Someone other than rust45 targeted Index-San on Night 1" would work?
bmin11
Someone other than rust45 targeted Index-San on Night 1

It's a lie detector guys - you need rust to state something like "I did not kill Index"
Haneii
Oh well too late, hammered (if bmin can double vote)

meh

Zzzzzz
rust45
I don't think you get the concept of this lie detector. You did look through the topic right, did you see what we used it on in day 1? The lie detector isn't meant to be used to tell if someone is lying or not. It's to find out facts.
rust45
Oh yeah, Vote: What they were voting
Haneii
The lie detector isn't meant to detect lies? *mind blown*

Also, why did you vote rust? Why???!!! *rage*
rust45
I voted because I'm pretty sure I'm not the killer and I probably wouldn't be able to change their opinion on what to vote for.
Haneii
You ignored my request + voted for something just because everyone else is voting for it (you don't have another reason since you know what the lie detector will answer)?

Fos: Rust (oh how I want to force a vial down your throat right now ^_^)
Haneii
Lol can't sleep :p

If the lie detector breaks down because of that statement can we begin to use the detector to make the game more like a traditional mafia game. ie: we vote for someone to say "I did not perform an action on X" where X would be one of our dead. Basically giving us the same info a lynch would but without killing anyone

If the lie detector doesn't break, then it'll probably work with the letter statement.
Rantai

Let's force it down anyway and observe it's effects.

Hi rust.

On a serious note: That method would probably be way too slow (single person statements), unless we get lucky.
bmin11
It would work since we are only getting a single death per day. After eliminating some branches of possibility, I think it could be a good method.
