I've spoken to someone with your power as well, by the way. Looking at numbers, and if what a couple of us are thinkng is right, eight into the number of groups we had would mean there are three people out there with each power.
Which makes it easier to spot a lie, if it's told.

That's what it sounds like at least. We should, in theory, have eight groups with three people in.
Right. Too much left to chance, and if you pick the wrong power to lie about you'll be called out pretty quickly. Does mean a number of us prefer remaining silent, however.

[ imagine if they'd started strong and had these answers. tragic. ]
Maybe it's linked to the ambiguity of what happened. I'm assuming that if Misa didn't kill Eleanor, it would've gone like normal - with the "you have voted incorrectly" message. I just... wonder if what Harrowhark did didn't force Misa to change targets, and maybe whatever's in charge here knows that.
Like.... she killed, but it wasn't her intended target. Then again, I'm not sure how the Oliver Twist power would've had the power to do that so maybe I'm on the wrong path entirely.

I don't think she would have wanted to change her target, no... since she wouldn't have wanted to kill anyone at all, not only Grace.
The only thing I can think of is that maybe she was telling the truth and didn't kill Eleanor, but it still counted it because the only reason she didn't was outside intervention.

I'm not sure it's that clear cut. Harrowhark's power wasn't foolproof, like if someone else had used it. There's a margin for error, and unfortunately we don't know where that margin lies. Both she and I apparently had the same assumptions about it, and we were wrong.
Which would mean someone still did kill her, and is running around just fine. I'm not a fan that we keep falling back on this moral dilemma of "do you judge people for things they might have but didn't do", but this one feels a little different.
Probably why, if all this theorising is correct, it was accepted as a correct answer.

Mm, I think this one is different since it's an action taken place here, and Misa didn't back out on her own. If she got away with it this time, she could have just tried again next week.
Apparently her wish was something she wanted to get at all costs.
