Mahaloth 11th March 2015 04:19 AM

Who do we have in this game that is female? And who from our regular pool of players is female?

Visorslash 11th March 2015 04:20 AM

Sorry guys, I've finally got internet. Been busy with a few other things, but I'll be round in the next day phase.

As Peeker would say, Bufftabby, Sister Coyote, Texcat, Lightfoot, Dizzymrslizzy, Scathach are innies...

Well, you could start using proper punctuation!

I'm confident Gnarly shares my first name. Again, short of cover roles, this is a strong indicator of towniness, possibly even as good as an investigation for me...

Not so sure about Giraffe or Chaos though, they may have found my hint but have not indicated they know my name yet.

Acknowledging the content of your hint would probably not only give up my own name, but that of possibly 4 others as well. Three letter names and one has already been given. I'll pass.

Swammerdami 11th March 2015 05:37 AM

I'm more suspicious of Mahaloth and Mrs McGinty than of Chaos.

No response? If I'm Night-Killed, figure Scum may have wanted to learn my first name as cover for one of these two.

Wait, why are you confident about gnarly but unsure about me? gnarly has given zero evidence that he knows anything. I told you the first letter and telegraphed your hint back to you.

I'm back to being pretty highly pinged by guiri.

guiri 11th March 2015 07:17 AM

Because I know for 100% that Gnarly shares my first name. I know that your first name has something in common with mine but I have not see any sign that your name is the same as mine - does that make sense?

As for telegraphing my hint, that's what I don't get. From your comment you pointed to the location of the hint, which I'd already given, so unless I've missed something or misunderstood your telegraphing, I don't see that you actually understood my hint as it relates to my name.

guiri 11th March 2015 07:26 AM

Wrong thread....

This is what I posted, underline added:

You later said, underline added:

I understood this as being a reference to the post number (#8), but since I only made a single post in N0, it doesn't require you to get my hint or even have the same first name...

At least you're not wondering if you're dead or alive!

Can you please tell me how you know that? Maybe it's obvious and I missed it, but I haven't seen any evidence from gnarly that he shares your name.

My comment was not in reference to the post number. It also wasn't meant to be obvious. If you don't see it now, good. It's pretty unambiguous once I explain, which means I can't float along pretending I got it when I didn't.

gnarly and Chaos, on the other hand, have given no evidence thus far. I don't want to give away anything else until they give some indication that they know the name too and aren't just faking it.

And that's fine, it indicates that we probably do not have the same name, even though your name has elements in common with mine. We'll see how toNight's investigations play out.

And that's also fine, your reference means nothing to me in relation to my name while Gnarly's indicates that he's understood my reference. Maybe I'll have an ah-ha moment when you explain.

This is Gnarly's post I'm referring to. If you cannot see how he's referring to your name, you must have a different name, which is fine:

Ignore my comment, then. Give me/us some hint that you know what your name is, and that you know how guiri told me what her name is. Ideally without giving the name away, although at this point I'd rather catch scum by forcing you to demonstrate that you don't know your name than continue dancing around this particular maypole.

i'm not sure how i can do that. but for now it will take my death to tear my name from me.

right, rest assured i knew you are a he.


Swammerdami 11th March 2015 08:38 AM

And I've just figured out Guiri's and Gnarly's name!

Thank heavens I'm not Scum. :m:

guiri 11th March 2015 08:39 AM

Yeah, no harm done...

Ok, then I will investigate you in return, unless there's someone who makes sense to thrown in the mix to make this a round robin investigation.

Depends. How many of these letters does your name contain?
I O R T

it would be more efficient for you to look at someone else not claiming a part of your name or not sharing at all

Durr, no I'm just stupid. :facepalm:

FYI, boobs = double d's.

I O R T


Precisely one. Anything else about my name, I'd like to keep in the dark for the moment.

I haven't posted a hint about my name because I think that's a bad idea. What I have done is posted something that's too convoluted to work as a hint, but, when explained, will show that I knew my first name when I posted it. I'm Elvis, see?
