    Celtic do sound suspicious due to his post, but I must say that instead of drawing a hasty conclusion of who the killer is we should probably wait until we got more evidence, thus I don't vote for anyone now.

    Abstain

    Ok. I'm going to start the lurker killer bandwagon...

    Vote:Carlo Marx

    Unless anyone has some evidence of some sort.

    (QUERY: we can change our votes right? as long as its not after a majority has been reached?)

    Abstaining may actually be the best cause of action (though it may seem counter intuitive). Lets take a look;

    Assuming we started with 2 assassins, we are now down to 5 vs 2.

    If we vote now and hit an innocent, it will be 3 vs 2 by sunrise. If we get to 3 vs 2, we need 2 correct lynchs in a row to win (2/15 chance assuming a purely random lynch). If we vote, we do have a 2/7 chance of being 4 vs 1 up though, were we would need 2 mislynches to lose (7/15 chance of us winning).

    So if we collectively cast a random vote now, we have a 8/35 chance of winning.

    However, If we abstain today, tommorrow it will be 4 vs 2.

    2/3 chance of immediate lose due to a mislynch.
    1/3 chance of going to 3 vs 1 (1/4 chance of winning from there).

    So that would give a 1/12 chance of winning.

    8/35>1/12. So we should cast a random vote to maximise chance of victory (assuming my logic is right).

    hmm..it seems i'm still hunted..No worries. Got used to it after some years ;)

    I sure hope your logic is right, although it does sound logic...does that make sense?
    I agree with you guys, a game full of lurkers...rather not :) (with all due respect boys).
    ATM i'm just to lazy to find out those lurkers. Gonna take a nice meal before I vote (read: have to vote another day)

    Yep, you can change your vote as much as you like but when everyone has put an official one in (remember, it must be Vote:person, I won't count things like 'I'm going to kill the lurker' as a proper vote) then the last one you made will be the one that counts.

    So we have votes or abstain from 4 players, still waiting on:

    Gexmofia
    The Hunted
    Carlo Marx

    2 are lurkers so I am going to PM both of them and see if they will come back, if not they just won't get a vote this round.

    So far, 2 votes for Carlo Marx has him in the lead to be executed.

    Yeah lets get it going! I messaged the 'lurkers' just after my last post, this time tomorrow I am taking the votes as they are and contacting the assassins to pick another target. The game must go on.

    As it stands, Carlo Marx is going to be executed.

    So Carlo is going to be executed. Poor guy, but lets hope that he is the killer. :)

    I'm happy with that as a majority, and Carlo hasn't even posted since the game started anyway.

    As the sun lowers in the west, the guards march into Carlo Marx's room and grab him. He looks around and yells in surprise, claiming innocence. The guards gag him and march him out to the court yard where he is hanged as more guards search his room. After his body has stopped twitching, several approached and searched his body. No evidence of anything sinister is found, and an equally clean canvase is found in his room.


    *Night has fallen*

    I now await a message as to who is being assassinated tonight before a new day starts.

    Just a small update, I am waiting for the assassin(s) to give me a target and have had contact via PM. At this stage, I am flying out to Melbourne tonight as part of my uni project so I will be unable to update this now until at least friday night my time (+9.5 GMT) but given how tired I will be by then, saturday is more likely. Thanks for your patience.

    As the sun rises and activity in the castle begins to increase, the living nobles breath a sigh of relief and glance around the dining hall wondering who is missing. A quick head count reveals that everyone is present and the mood visibly brightens. Festivities begin and breakfast is served, however soon after the meal is started kroxigor01 begins coughing heavily, and blood is seen all over his hands. It is immediately obvious that the meal has been poisoned as he quickly sucumbs to fever and the others know he will not survive the morning. Bowls are pushed aside as a sour taste in everyone's mouth leaves their appetites thoroughly destroyed. 'Bloody hell, I thought this was over' mutters one of the guards.

    kroxigor01 has been murdered!

    It is now day time, and you may discuss and decide who might be guilty.

    Red are assassinated, green is executed by the people.

    :depressed:

    Oh well. I guess I had too big a mouth (and maybe I was on the mark in my accusations...).
