So far, Z stands out to me the most:
First vote, for a low poster. Good strategy for the assassin. Many stated previously they didn't think the assassin would start a train, and this is a safe vote to make, as many suspect low posters.
Three votes at this point, especially with retractions; is not a fatality. Seems to me like Z is trying to put the bug in people's ears to get rid of SOMEBODY early, to the assassin, wouldn't really matter who that somebody was, and it doesn't seem to matter to Z either.
Paying extremely close attention to the voting... this is what I would do too.
Choosing one person quickly with minimum discussion also gives good odds that it will be a guard who gets it... as evidenced by bkw.
As this is a LOT more reason than I have to suspect anyone else, I vote to lynch ZSandmann. Keep in mind that this is subject to change if something else comes up. I've still got others I'm looking at.
Ogre: I get the new job thing, but it seems he was the first to come up with making lists of 3 people (58). I agree with bkw when he said this would be a way to give the assassin info (62). Ogre stated this might not work in his original post on the subject, but went on to defend the idea later anyway (69). The yelling at the very beginning of the thread didn't help this any.
Mal: still a low poster, even after "waking up". And I'm not sure what to think of this story, as it was noted by others she was lurking earlier.
There's more, but mostly just hunches. Tomorrow's a long day with a short break, so I wanted to get it out there. Hope some of it helps, Z... sorry if I'm wrong. I probably won't be able to check back until 1p or so.
You either don't understand how this round works, or... well no or. This is not Mafia. The assassin is going to ride low and try to get us to give them information. Malbri was doing just that, and in this game we do not want a UD. By the time Malbri showed up they were to far along in the votes to get pulled out. Now by the statements you just made the assassin knows Malbri isn't the King. So therefore, Malbri is either a Guard or the assassin.
With one less person and still needing five votes to lynch today will be harder than yesterday. I suggest we lynch the person that jb has all but told the assassin is not the King.
I vote to lynch Malbri.
