I agree. But he would have also had to consider the chances of it backfiring as well.

... honestly, Fukuda probably was the main reason people were less suspicious of Fukuda. His accusation made people more defensive than they probably would have been otherwise.

[aubins]

It's risky, but so is murdering someone for extra indulgence points. If you do that you're already firmly in the "risky business" zone.

Wonder why he was so quick to be accusatory. [ not that, y'know. yuri has any clue how his mind works, especially after what came out at trial. ] I can see why people were suspicious of him for that, but it was still something of a leap.

the second fukuda was meant to be ming yi rip

[dotcom]

He's always been odd. When he announced that Grell was Jack the Ripper, the way he talked about it was creepy.

[ fukuda is going to die tomorrow but sasazuka will talk shit. ]

People probably thought he was trying too hard to pin the blame on someone else. Or maybe they just didn't like him, so thought he was a safer person to vote out.

fukuda everywhere

[aubins]

Odd, sure. Odd doesn't equate to "definitely killed someone here" though. Although who knows, maybe he'll admit something tomorrow, if he did kill someone last week.

... We're running out of people to blame, you know. That's just going to make our voting even messiers, assuming half of us vote at all.

[ he's not stupid enough to think that people aren't bending over backwards to avoiding voting for the people they like. ]

[dotcom]

Well, at the very least it took out someone who we know has a chance of murdering. It's not ideal, but I have no shame in saying I'd rather get rid of a serial killer than someone who actually hasn't killed at all.

[ like, you can come up with reasons as to why someone might have to kill. it is extremely fuckin hard to come up with a valid reason for a serial killer whose reasoning seems to be "well i liked it when i got a hole in my head" ]

But you're right. And I don't think we can really count on the idea of absolutely everyone abstaining, when the killers can vote as well.

[aubins]

I don't disagree with that, but assuming guilt based on things a person has done back home makes for murky waters. [ ... ] That being said, better now than after someone shows up with a hole in their head one week.

[ it might've been medb given that fight mid-trial and honestly? very funny that we're cucking ara again. ]

Oh, the killers will definitely vote. There's no reason not to, for them.

[dotcom]

Mm, I think it's less assuming that they're guilty here because of what they did before, and deciding who you're personally willing to vote off. Everyone will have different reasons for who they choose if we don't have someone who's a clear suspect. I can't blame someone if their choice is based off of who's more obviously like to have no problems with killing.

[ hk was obvious. fukuda is obvious. grell also was obvious, but she died first. ]

[aubins]

Yet, as our numbers drop that line of thinking is going to get murkier. The less of us there are, the better we have to do, otherwise our votes are going to be an unmitigated disaster.

...

If two or more people get the same number votes, I have to wonder what will happen.

[dotcom]

Well, they'd all go to execution, but... I'd wonder what that execution would even look like?

Would it be them going against each other, or just multiple different ones at once?

[aubins]

-- We also came across this possibility last week, but what happens if the person voted for survives the execution?

It's possible. And then there's always a chance they'd seek revenge depending on who they assumed voted for them, depending on the sort of person they are.

[ case in point: it'll be really awkward if Fukuda survives today, wow! ]

[dotcom]

Yeah. I think if Endorsi won the first time, no one would have really blamed her, especially since she and Beauregard both agreed to fight for it. On the other hand, the robot wouldn't have left the room alive.

[ although he wouldn't be surprised if hk would have managed to take other people out first. that was a very strong murderbot. ]

I don't know what to expect for Fukuda.

[aubins]

It's a 50/50. He doesn't deserve to be in there for this incident, but I wonder if being voted for like that might make him ... I don't know. Willing to retaliate?

[ ...


and then there are concerns about who he'd retaliate against. ]

[dotcom]

... it would probably depend on who it is.

I think the person he'd be most willing to attack is probably Medb though.

[aubins]

Because of what happened with Douman?

[ ... ]

It'd be obvious, if he did survive and she showed up dead. The same if he turned up dead -- Medb isn't stupid. [ but ara LOVES dying. ]

[dotcom]

Well, the two of them hated each other before then. It's why it was so stupid of him to grab her-- he knew the reaction would be poor.

[aubins]

Just fanning the flames, huh? I wonder if he even thought of that, he comes across as quite... socially dense at times?

[dotcom]

He didn't know how to read a room.

[aubins]

To say the least.

[dotcom]

... but I guess that won't be an issue anymore.

[aubins]

No. Probably not now. [ hm. ] Turns out that was the least of his issues, really.

[dotcom]

[ he has so many issues. ]

Let's talk about something other than the deranged serial killer.

[aubins]

We could talk more about how terrible we are solving these cases, if that's what you really want.

[dotcom]

... no.

Pretty tired about that one too.

[aubins]

How does solving cases actually work where you're from, anyway? Please tell me you get more than nine hours to investigate, theorise, narrow down your suspects and accuse someone.

[dotcom]

Well, there are some things that have time limits, but in general we usually have more than nine hours, yeah.

This is nothing like a normal case.
