Wrong, if you ask EPP's question and it comes back as a yes you still can't discount the fact that Bhaw could have been wearing the bow tie. The question needs to be phrased for even rooms.

Do we have to come to a majority on the questions, or is it whatever question has the most votes at the end of the day? Because we have to accuse someone this day phase as well.

As the games progresses, it will be interesting to see if we can spot the reds steering the questions in certain directions.

If we ask about the even rooms and get a no we eliminate 10 people leaving 9, but if we get a yes then we eliminate 9 people leaving 10. We get basically the same answer either way.
Again, we find out after the kill. So we can get it down to a possible 8 if we vote off an odd room and ask if the bow tie was worn by a guest in an even numbered room.

Why only eliminate 9 people when you can eliminate 8?

I see...so you are supporting my variation on the question.

Even though I asked the original question I have to agree with THG's logic.

I just have a hard time believing they would add that tidbit of information if it was just his. He was clutching it for a reason.

Yes. By doing so and voting off an odd room number we can eliminate the 10 even's leaving only 8 odds. If the even's are cleared that gives us the smallest pool of remaining possibilites.

scrap NAN's question

EPP's question

Either way, I don't know that it really gives us that much to go on, what with there being more than 1 red.

Do we get the answer to the question before we vote?

Why are you people voting for EPP's question? EPP's question only eliminates 9 people. Why not eliminate 10?

It doesn't eliminate anyone. This is still a Warz game. It has variations, yes, but it's naive to think that there's only one red.

Yeah there is likely more than 1 red. So what are you saying we shouldn't do everything we can to eliminate that Red ASAP?

so then would it make sense to accuse an even or an odd numbered person?

No, I'm saying acting like that question is going to clear half of the people doesn't work. We have to be careful we don't spend so much time trying to find someone who had a bowtie that we forget there are other reds out there trying to avoid suspicion. That's all.
