Secret Assassin: Round 9

[jcryer]

As the sun sets, eleven of the twelve remaining shinobi hang back as a lone figure keeps on walking down the path. Looking over his shoulder, Whatasnipe turns to ask if the others are coming, however the words die in his throat. The other eleven shinobi have their weapons drawn and prepare to attack. Whatasnipe makes a valiant (yet futile) attempt to reason with his fellow shinobi, however to no avail. Whatasnipe is dead.

The eleven remaining shinobi check through his belongings, to check that there are no more explosives. However, the bag is empty, and the guilt of what the remaining shinobi have done rests heavy on their shoulders. Whatasnipe was not an assassin, and was in fact a shinobi.

Drasholav was going to fetch some water in the morning, when he tripped and fell into an extremely deep canyon, and laid there in agony for over an hour while the others tried to get to him. Once the group found him, they carried him back to the camp site and tried to stitch up his wounds. However, as he was recovering, he suddenly started seizing, and immediately died. (Why the hell do I let newbies into the Secret Assassin games? No offense Drasholav, but this happens every time.) FYI, Drasholav was also a Shinobi.

It is now the night phase. Assassins, PM me your next kill. ANBU, PM me to find out about a player - OH WAIT NO, YOU GUYS HAVE SCREWED THAT UP TOO.

May God have mercy on your souls.

fucking zama

[Zama]

fucking zama

What? xD You suggested that Whatasnipe was the assassin

[NinjaMirage]

It almost doesn't mater now we are screwed.
I can tell you who there going to kill next.. Mars knows too... Everyone if you were the assassin how would you kill this turn... Would it be the person you know everyone knows is not a assassin. Mars is going to die and we will have
9 players left and 1/3 of them will be assassins
We need better odds the 33% of Mars is out and you don't count me that leaves a 1-4 to a 3-4 chance if we focuse only on older players.
But it's up to you guys.

[waly206]

I'm not going to point fingers yet

[Mars]

Okay.
jcryer called me today and said "you guys are screwed" after telling me I had not voted and that whatasnipe was a shinobi.
Does this mean we haven't guessed any leads?

json voted for whatasnipe once with no reasoning, was that because he knew that he was a shinobi?
Shivraj hasn't given reasons to vote except to defend the older members such as himself from being accused as an assassin.

Sanji also raised suspicion as he made a pm messaging everyone as a "shinobi group" maybe trying to assure us he's a shinobi.

The latter seems like the strongest theory and therefore I vote Sanji.

[Crono]

jcryer just kicked Drasholav for being inactive, correct?
However, if we scroll through we can see Shiv and json weren't active either.
In fact, json has only posted once. Which was voting for a shinobi to be killed off (coincidently).
He did not have reasoning and that has been his only activity on the thread.

This kind of helps me believe Mars' theory though I'll follow his lead with Sanji for now as that is also probable.

[json243]

Nah i just voted cause i haven't been paying attention and was kinda under the influence of memes so..... @Mars

[Manuster]

We know Mars and cmsurfer are shinobi.
I know I am shinobi.

Everyone that suspected Whatasnipe is suspect. That would be:

Ken
Me
Zama
Json
Shiv
Sanji
and Crono voted 2 days in a row

Waly206 didn't vote him.

Following up on Mars' point, Sanji voted against Shivraj.  Meaning that it is likely that if one of them is an assassin, the other is not.

I do not personally believe Sanji to be the assassin but I will trust Mars and vote for him nevertheless.

[Mars]

With this, if sanji is not the assassin shiv must be for sure.

[Sanji]

well if your going to vote me i will accept my dead.

but just to you to know i am a shinobi.

i am just going to vote waly206 somehow i feel he is the assassin.
i hope all fellow,and he be the assassin.

[Shivraj]

I don't like to post without any reason to do so, and so far, I haven't picked out any peculiar leads, thus, not having any reason to post filler content like blah blah blah that doesn't contribute anything to the general findings.

"Shivraj hasn't given reasons to vote except to defend the older members such as himself from being accused as an assassin." I do like to defend myself, yes. My way of looking out for any suspicious behaviour isn't leading me to anything, thus I guess I'll indulge in your ways of finding out people.

Also, I've never said that it cannot be an older member, just that it is stupid to use that as the only excuse for voting for anyone.

Now for your logic, I'm pretty sure an assassin would try to be more active on the thread, as to hide in plain sight, thus that makes Json look innocent, but then again it could be that he was nervous, didn't know how to word his statements so as to not make him look suspicious, rookie mistake? Or is he actually innocent? Who knows.

I do, however, agree with your reasoning about Sanji, that made me suspicious as well, I just didn't think much of it, perhaps because I wouldn't think of that as enough reason to think of someone as an assassin, everyone is trying to convince people they're the shinobi, so as to improve the chances of them winning.

That is the biggest lead we have so far though, so I guess we'll be better off following that.

[NinjaMirage]

Well I still like sanji but I don't agree with your logic that shivraj has to be if sanji is not. That conlustion is based on the fact that. Sanji picked a random person as his first guess... It doesn't make any sence. I'm not saying shivraj cant be the assassin but I think Json is a more likely older player if sanji is not a assassin. He voted whatasnip with out any explanation then suddenly stops being active!!! That's  suspicious to me. But the day phase is up next so pic who you think. I'm going with sanji this round.

[Sanji]

good jop assassins.
and like JC said
May God have mercy on your souls Shinobis.

[jcryer]

Deep at night, after the shocking events of the previous day, a cry was heard. It roused the shinobi, and they found Mars writhing in agony on the floor, bleeding out from multiple kunai wounds in his chest. He died soon after, as there was nothing the remaining shinobi could do to help, and could only relieve the pain and ease his passing.

It is now the day phase. Vote on who you wish to kill off.

@json243 and @waly206 - if you do not vote this round you WILL be killed off.
