Why didn't you kill on the first two nights?

I thought I should save it till the end so that no one really 'thought' of a serial killer. Just Goblin vs. Dwarf. Suddenly introducing a new kill and being able to frame Ichigo would throw the scent off of me.

Otherwise let's say that I did kill two per Night 1 and Night 2, people would have a thought that there is some lone killer operating by himself-probably someone like Mimi, you or Pann may've been able to figure out that it was a Serial Killer (due to the autopsy), and then everyone would be more circumspect than I would've liked.

My idea was to let the Goblins and Dwarfs knock themselves out, and then spring the trap at the end.

You could have used one kill per night...

Still it wouldn't have changed the fact that the 'autopsy' would have been there.

Especially if I'd have killed a Dwarf and a Goblin (as I did with Mimi and Paladin) more than once, people may've been able to figure out that the Serial Killer was operating on his/her own. So anyone could've fit that role.

Why would the autopsy imply anything was amiss, though? Goblins were killing themselves and other goblins, dwarves were killing dwarves, who'd know what it meant if there were some people killed by daggers or falling rocks? For that matter, why would the knowledge of there being a serial killer make anyone more likely to lynch you in particular?

In any case, though, you almost won.

Well it was general paranoia, and added to the fact that I knew that you, Pann, and Mimi were eventually going to die. If there was a dagger and a spear killing both of you, it may've looked suspicious, and I'm sure that in the moment, one of you'd be able to figure out it was a serial killer.

Knowing that then, would have changed people's viewpoints into being more circumspect-possibly into not believing the false evidence I had brought up.

Just going for two NKs in the end, and prolonging it (as I thought there was a dwarven majority and all the Goblins knew each other) would have assured me a dwarven victory. The Beer twist and the fact that Arakorn posted before I even got back was what deterred me from winning.
