The way I was able to kill Ryoko when she had the gun was a combination of two factors. The wave machine apparently knocked the wind out of her. Yes, she actually was in the vents. All that stuff I was saying about Justin being a potential culprit weren't too far off the mark (except that the waves flooding the vents didn't kill her, just knocked her out into the same area as me and Justin). I closed the distance while talking her down, reminding her that if she shot me she would be the obvious culprit in that case. While she was struggling with the fatsuit she was carrying and the choice between shooting me or talking it out, I stabbed her in the heart immediately.
And I don't regret it for a second. Why? There's another major clue everyone is overlooking here. I repeatedly threatened to kill the Spider-Man for lying to me about the gun. In public. Loudly. MANY TIMES. I'm surprised this never came up during the trial. The fact that I could get away with it was just icing on the cake.
Also, on the night that I went and took a knife from the kitchen, I took two knives. One I could hide on my person (the one I stabbed Ryoko with) and one that was a normal knife which I'd leave in my room to establish a clean-knife having alibi for myself in the event of future murders and so that I could create confusion about how many knives were missing. Which, if you'll notice, I repeatedly took the opportunity to do throughout the trial!

Also, I so wanted to murder Spiral. Half the reason I flipped out D2, really.

Oh, and for the next game any tool of the host to directly interfere has to be removed.(This means the lion) It had an absurd amount of interference this game.
From: Dark_Spiral | #454 Hey Scept, I was the guy that made your father commit suicide.
That's why. I knew you were once you started talking about being a reporter, but it was too late then. It's so sad, I wanted to use my cool powers.

And yes the lion was pretty annoying. Doesn't it also bring up questions of intent pretty seriously?

I had to explicitly command my lion to attack for it to count, except in one very specific case I was going to take advantage of if anybody else went to floor 2 with me and he wasn't fed
From: KanzarisKelshen | Posted: 3/22/2012 8:43:50 PM | #460 Question now that the game is done: Did the watches actually have an effect? Still curious about that.
Yes, they were meant to give despair points, something that never came into play due to almost nobody trusting anybody >_>
Also I'm sad that we couldn't pull off our amazing plan last night. You see, Biscuit and I originally had the intention to go to the second floor to actually kidnap Regaro, stuff him in our bathtub, draw the curtain and then just act like he was dead to draw strikes from everyone.

Lol no. No part of this game was unfair. If anyone has a right to complain it's me - I wasn't even informed of my abilities and their drawbacks! But seriously guys, don't be sore losers.
And about that, IMO you should definitely buff the trust/despair system if you're gonna use it next time. It was way too risky.

No, the lion made solving a case more difficult by destroying evidence. Ran up to the second staircase and nearly killed you if not for Ryoko. So yeah, the game should be between the players, not something like a lion.

There's no reason to trust if there's no legit payoff. Trust has to give you something up-front to make it worthwhile - the gamble has to have an immediate return, a further return if you trusted someone who was clean, and a devastating loss if you trusted a bastard. But that's just my inner designer talking.

I had incentive to go up there even if I died, you know
(That being that I'd get to directly control the lion)
So now that this is all over and done with, who dropped the bullet? Sure as hell wasn't me, I even tried to remove them to get rid of them and Haguile said they wouldn't come out~

Oh, so Monobear left us a red herring? No wonder things didn't fit.
You guys laughed, but me picking up the canister of mixed nuts was in fact coincidental because I had absolutely no idea that cyanide had a slight almond scent to it. In fact, most of what I said was actually truthful except the fake PM and picking up the jar of cyanide during the second night and maybe something else

When you tried to remove the bullets, you dropped one from the other side of the bullet. I put a few clues in your next pms about you dropping it, but you never noticed it >_>

I'm just going to drop it completely, I don't think it adds too much to the game. And I don't think I'm gonna run this again, really. It was a lot of work and every other day I had a different person complaining about it. Which is fine if it's just a problem somebody had with the rules(like I think you had).
But when people keep complaining about the same thing over and over again about the same damn thing it just gets annoying and it isn't worth running the game anymore.
Eh, I might run it in the future, but no way I'm keeping it 16 players. That's insane. 8 players or so would work better.
Yeah I had a feeling you were starting to get tired of all the work involved in running the game. It became evident as the result PMs I was getting back were getting less and less specific, etc.

Also if you're going to do anything, bring MML back.
It wasn't a lie when I said I prefer solving mysteries to killing people. Unfortunately for Ryoko, I just had to reinforce the idea that lying to me is literally a death sentence in this game.
