Tawarochir What kind of question would you least like to answer?
I don't really have a preference from question to question. How about you?
One that asked me to explain why I voted someone at the time that I did.
flabortI'd like to register my objection to you using the past tense to refer to a question further down the post, first of all.
In any case, your question to TDS seems to be useful only in determining whether he has any starting bias in the game, since there's virtually nothing to work off at the moment other than NQT's bout of WIFOM. Your reasons for asking it could be many, since it depends both on your alignment and how you're intending to play this game.
Your question to FoU is to determine whether anyone is trying to use voodoo you, I guess? Its purpose could be similar to the one to TDS' but to determine if there's any prejudice towards you specifically rather than in general.
Your question to me is designed to test whether I'm a rogue AI, since its self referential nature would trap me in an infinite loop if I were one. To be honest I don't see much point in it other than opening a dialogue, though.
0)Well, I had been referring to all three questions as one entity, whereas you referred to them as separate entities. However, very clever answers; particularly to the one to yourself. More of a "Why did I ask three people to answer questions that I asked other people"?
1) Objection noted. I did write his question first, but the names are sorted by the way they appear in the OP. I may try in the future to keep my posts temporally correct for you, if I don't forget.
2) I do admit I like my questions about starting bias. I was also hoping for TDS to give the answer he gave, though I can't remember what information I would have gained from him giving that answer. I think it was more of a "but what if he DOESN'T pick that answer" line of thought.
3) I can't object to anything about your answer about my question to FoU, nor can I confirm it, but I can say it's close?
4) I wasn't thinking of rogue AIs, no. I'm pretty sure you're not an AI; whether you're rogue or not is the actually important matter, but the question had nothing to do with that. Opening a dialog was a primary purpose, yes.
TheDarkStar Same question that I gave Tiruin.
NQT, in case he actually has two daykills.
Everyone: What do you think about Jack's and NQT's claims?
So... I admitted above in this post that I don't remember why I asked you and Tiruin that question in particular... but I think that's a trustworthy answer. Is there any reason that you can think of that I should trust the answer?
I think NQT's claims are probably bogus, but a pretty good deterrent. See also my reply to him in this post below. I can't ignore it since the claims are so big.
I think Jack's claim is soft enough that I can't tell what action he has, but I do have some guesses in a post above. Small enough to ignore for now.

Why the fishing so early? I call your claiming fishing because I almost told you about my role in response to some of those claims.
Wow. I think that's maybe more of an indication of your readiness to spill the beans that my propensity to solicit bean spillage. D1, no one has information and we're just jumping at shadows. I thought I'd give people something to chew on.
Like falacy pointed out and you admitted, this is certainly five whole servings of WIFOM. I'm wondering why you did it
I did it to give people a warning about potential dangers, something to talk about, and something I could use to judge reactions. Your apprehensiveness to vote me is partially based on a fear of being day killed. Why would a town player have this fear?
Notquitethere If your role had a form of units that you can gain through the game, what unit would you most like out of the following list: Dollars, Shakerags, photographs, data samples, mana points, minions, shadow clones.
Photographs sounds the most interesting. This can't help you scum hunt and we're already in conversation so it's hardly breaking the ice, so I'm left with the impression that you're just going through the motions here.
1) OK, maybe it takes some willpower to keep the beans unspilt; or maybe one of our roles interacts with the other's in some way, depending on which of your claims are true. Oh d*** it, there I go, leaving the bean lid open a little. Let's cap that back up...
Is there a reason people don't usually claim day one, and admit to lying in their first post on day one? Would you count wine as something solid enough to chew on? Is there a reason townies don't usually use WIFOM as a weapon, or lie? Don't you think that some shadows have more substance than others later in the day?
2) How many of those are actual potential dangers and how many are red herrings? I can't argue about it being something to talk about, because you can tell I'm talking about it right now. As for judging my reaction:
A towny would fear being lynched because they know it's a mislynch. A towny would fear being killed at all because it would make the wincondition of someone else, typically the mafia, more fulfilled, which would in turn make the towny's wincondition harder to fulfill. It also makes a towny's wincon harder to fulfill if they can't participate in hunting the scum anymore. I'd like to avoid being lynched right away before I can do anything meaningful, and I'd like to avoid attracting a daykill for the same reason.
Of all your abilities claimed, though, that one seems least likely, so I may wind up voting you later. For now I'm just going to
Finger of Suspicion NQT.
3) Good catch. Yes, we already were in conversation when I asked that, and yes the ice is broke. I can say that going through the motions was a primary motivation of asking you a question, since I felt like asking one to everyone on the list. I do say that there was a little ice left and that helped clear it away, and I can't say anything further on the subject now, but you made a good catch.
Everyone: Who is most suspicious right now? (I'd say NQT, but the other players might have different opinions.)
would everyone mind saying "I am town", just in case there's a truthteller here?
Right now? Not including myself (A state that I'd like to avoid no matter what alignment I play), and not including NQT? Hmm, that's a tough one. If NQT were allowed, of course, that would be my pick right now, but since I probably have to pick someone who isn't NQT, I'd choose... *groan* Jack A T. His response to NQT's response to his claim is baffling; who wouldn't come to that conclusion after reading JackClaim2; especially the person being threatened? Yes, I headed there too, thinking he was claiming a kill, when I read that claim. And claiming to mimic NQT was suspicious too.
I am town.
