The Final Day

The council had decreed Node to be the dastardly assassin. They circled around him, creating no room for escape. Node calmly allowed himself to be guided to the guillotine. As the council escorted him to the platform Node reached in his robe.

A knife was pulled out.

Before anyone could react, he slashed the throat of youngminii the King of Liquidia.. As the bodyguards panicked and wept at the loss of their beloved king, Node fled off in the distance. He was victorious.

The Assassin, Node, has won.

Nah I think it was when coag was like "lynch orgo" or w/e because he accused someone who bodyguards wouldn't accuse. It was either bereft or YM, and when bereft died i think that was it.

correct me if im wrong.

it wasn't because orgo accused someone bodyguards wouldn't accuse
it was because in response to meapak's code, he posted "aww, and I had the cipher all ready too" or something like that, indicating that he intended to use the code somehow

one possible method to win was to keep it low, vote as normal, and just before the day ends (like in the few minutes before) all change it to node in the hope that he doesn't notice.

another method would be waiting for node to start an accusation against someone else and then immediately lynching

This is what I was planning but then Bum voted and it was kinda all in at that point.

Awards:

Best Player:
BumAtLarge - Couldn't carry town by himself

Worst Player:
Coagulation - You don't need to post every single thought in your head. Why don't you keep it cool and think about what the town might be doing before you post. I was shocked at how far over your head the towns plan went.

Analysis:
Winning this game is very simple for town. One bodyguard simply has to choose a random non-king player and start posting as though that player were the king. Defending him awkwardly, maybe letting it slip in "code" or by posting behavior that the person is king.

The trick isn't figuring out who the assassin is. Because by the time you do, the assassin can accurately guess who the king is. If the assassin posts bandwagoning player x and suddenly finds himself getting bandwagoned, he knows player x must be the king.

The trick is fooling the assassin into thinking the king is someone it isn't and forcing him to waste his hit.

If Coagulation was king his play would actually be brilliant though.

Node PM'd me day 1 promising not to read the code.

It was no ones fault. It was pretty clear that the reason Node was bandwagoned was attacking youngminii. Town needed to wait longer to fool Node into thinking he was being lynched for something else.
