here's the problem - why only those pairings? why is the Jim-set excluded? why is the Day-set excluded? if the colors had meanings, then why don't those meaning apply universally? where were the hints to limit them to those specific sets and not to the others?
what about Tiruin? how does she fit in the picture? what do the colors mean to her?
The three pairings all involve obviously coloured players, and form a neat triangle (red-white, white-black, black-red), and each player in those pairs fits the thematic associations of their colour perfectly. None of the other players have obvious colours, which implies that they are not related to the colour puzzle.
The meanings of colours do apply universally. White consistently means purity, red consistently means passion/sex and black consistently means death/age. It's just that not every player needs to have a colour.
Tiruin's puzzle was related to Griffionday, not mafia finding, probably. It's not like the moderator promised every single player would have a colour.
Your theory is incomplete, and you're having to stretch to make it even include the three sets you're trying to make it include. where's the "red" from the ottofar/web 1 set? how is NQT "black"?
There is no red in the ottofar/web pair, and there doesn't need to be one. NQT being black was a throwaway suggestion and I'm not sure about it anymore (NQT might just exist so that the players can infer the existence of a lily, in case the mafia decides to falseclaim) but black = age and NQT is old as hell.
why does the "white" swan have "black" hairpins?
Probably because she used to share hairpins with her sister. I don't see how this point attacks my theory at all.
Please, please tell me you're faking this. look, the decoy flavor does not have a consistent pattern, that is the sign that it is a decoy in the first place! yes it is inconsistent! yes, it is a decoy! THESE TWO FACTS ARE DIRECTLY RELATED. Did or did you not notice that giant red herring speel that was given to Tiruin earlier? did you notice the repeated emphasis on it being crimson? What does irrelevant information being correlated with the color red have to do with the puzzle?
Ok, so you're saying it's a deliberate attempt by the mod to trick us.
The red herring thing was presumably given out because Tiruin was repeatedly investigating things that were irrelevant. However, notice how sexual in nature that flavour was, what with the jamming of herring into mouths. So it's relevant to the puzzle because Vector was trying to reinforce the red = passion/sex link, while also telling Tiruin that her current line of inquiry would go nowhere.
If you figured it out during the night, then under what solution was I not already marked as your target for today? Your post said that you didn't think I was scum until during the day.
I didn't know you were scum until during the day when I fully worked out how the puzzle worked. Before then I merely had a suspicion.
oh, and here's a fun little question for you. - why do you keep assuming in your defense regarding the sheep-kill that you and web knew that you'd be weakened from doing so? Jim became stronger in isolation, Toaster and I were unharmed by the death of NQT, and if you look at web's role PM, there were only signs that web actively wanted the musician dead, despite the fact that web was weakened by the death of sheep. So what is that all about anyway?
I stated in the thread, before N3, that I would probably be weakened if the musician died. So I clearly knew, and if webadict was my partner I easily could tell him that. My role PM specifically mentions music and how it strengthened me so it's wholly irrelevant to those other cases.
why do you and web supposedly have such different views of the musician (sheep) and yet toaster and I view NQT the exact same, and jim's followers both revered and protected him. why is your flavor-claim inconsitant with both set's flavor?
So I have a fundamentally different motivation to webadict, which means I'm more likely to be on his team...? This is a poor argument - we're thematically opposed in the same way as the swan pairing and your pairing, our views towards another person is irrelevant.
