I haven't worked out all the details but there's something I wanna put out there right away.

It's possible that padib is our Nuker Ghost and that he's stalling us just to make it to Day 5 and laugh at us while we get blown to pieces. There's several things that bother me about his claim:

- It came at a moment where that was some doubt hanging over him (for low activity and his "This is a WoW game" comments)

- YesterDay I thought the part where we had to wait until Night 3 for his attack to be unleashed felt like someone stalling for time and toDay him saying he'll reveal his info on the morning of Day 5 just adds to that feeling. Day 5 is the Day we all die if the nuker is not found so promising to give us info on the Day we all die, doesn't sit right with me.

- He mentions the he won't be dying from the blast and that he has a seperate win condition. Both things I would expect the nuker to have.

- Something is off with him having two Nights of invulnerability. It doesn't add up to me balance wise. I know he'll say "It's a WoW game" but I still think it's not right.

- Also there was his warning to the Protoss ("One more thing before I run off to tutoring: the protoss will soon be trying everything/anything to try to lynch or kill me. They will soon know what I am talking about. It will be funny to watch them suffer."). To me this reads like a plan to townie from questioning his motive for fear of being branded as a Protoss. The townie move would have been to let people come at him to maybe out a scared Protoss.

 

What do you guys think about this? Has it crossed your minds too? Am I paranoid?


Brilliant.  Simply, fantastic analysis. OK PADIB..........your being stalked by me toDay.

It makes some sense, but remember, he also claims that he was attacked yesterday, with Carl pointing out that such attack is caused by a Ghost.

Some other stuff to add to this, that I think should be noted.

@Carl. I can tell you one thing about yesterday night. Both kills were protoss kills. I know this because I am a very powerful character, and a huge threat to protoss. I will not say anything more because of how you guys incriminated me for my argument that it's a WoW game.

We need some more explanation regarding this post. How do you know both kills were Protoss?

padib, have you ever played Starcraft?

I was the one to recommend the flavor remember?


padib has a grasp on Starcraft, at least he should if he is into the game so much. This surely must mean he has to know that Ghosts have the EMP.

Why didnt you know about the Ghost EMP earlier, padib?

I will answer this because I think letting you know will help.

It is basically the nuke counter for the terrans, against the protoss. It's called Psionic Blast and it litterally wipes out the Protoss defense shield on all Protoss units.

I'm sorry if it upset you that I kept this revealed for so long but understand that with all my abilities choosing what to what not to reveal is a challenge. I realize now though that it's better that this is out in the open that way you guys can plan to attack. Also, if yesterday's EMP couldn't block me while I was unvulnerable, I'm hoping they are all out of EMPs to block me toNight.

Don't worry, you won't have to wait until day 5 to know if my skills worked or not, because I activated the first one last night and will deploy it toNight.


Okay

Are you Kerrigan? The Queen of Blades?

I see no other possibility in a game like this, and for you to know that both Night 1 kills were Protoss.



                            

Oh yeah , I promised to reveal my character on Day 3. It really is logically simple like I said. (I think.)

I'm a SHIELD MARINE!!! =D

Can you tell me how your Night 3 skill will affect the Protoss and the chances of success of that ability? Does it have to be targetted or does it attack at large? Like say all the Protoss lose their shield?

Why would WoW make up an ability called Psionic Blast when there's 2 perfectly good abilities in the game (Science Vessel's EMP Shockwave in SC1 and Ghost's EMP Round in SC2) that do exactly what you said? 

Also, what I don't like about your ability is that there won't be any way for us to verify your skill actually took off the shields from the Protoss.

Alright, so let's get the ball rolling.

First, I was attacked last night, the flavor I received mentionned blades which could point to a Protoss attack since Dark Templar carry a Warp Blade. The good news is that I'm still at full health which means the net result of last Night was that whoever attacked me lost a big chunk of HP. 

So, if I'm understanding padib's account right, he and I were the two targets last Night. Although that EMP doesn't sound like something either Protoss or Zerg would use.

 

Now on to suspects, mine are as follow:

Wonk: Made a move to lynch Nickels instead of Astro on Day One, attempted to derail the Sparks lynch by pushing for a Carl lynch on Day Two.

impertinence: Got a feeling he was Wonk's yes-man during Day Two.

radishhead, Conegamer: A lot of empty participation.

These are the guys I'm going to take a look back on during the Day but I'd like to hear about everyone's suspects and impressions. 

I'm still bothered by Radishhead's advocacy of hurrying up the clock on day one. It is to no-one's advantage that we do so, but the nuker/ghost.

I already had you tagged as non-protoss, though i'm still not leaving out second faction, maybe there is no faction other than the single rogue?



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Heh, looks cute xD

@Trucks. Sorry, I missed the second part. If you want to know if it worked or not, you have to try to attack them. The Psionic Blast is not an ability that is only useful for me. Hence why I realized that I needed to reveal it to you guys.


Well I don't think I can do anything to help during the Night.

I'm just a Shield Marine. Protecting from all but Nuclear bombs.

That's the problem. I can't attack, I only defend myself when attacked. So what good is your ability now?
