On a sidenote, the 2 Investigators will have gained knowledge by now that will be useful to the townspeople. However, it is in the best interests that the information be public, but the identity of the investigators remain secret. So I suggest that anonymously the 2 investigators reveal the information that they have learned.
One way to do this is to make up a new account (say 'Investigator 1' and 'Investigator 2') and anonymously post their information through these accounts (so no-one knows who the investigator is). If more than two people post messages, then the validity of the claims is of course compromised but I think it's worth a shot nonetheless.
Is this legal? Or perhaps there's another legal way of making the investigators anonymously reveal their information?
this mechanic is broken but for what its worth Kate didn't kill Laura.
Totally not legal. You may post and send messages on the forum from your account, and only your account. So no new accounts. I said this outright last year, but apparently forgot to do so this year. Don't exploit the forums. And get my permission before doing anything clever or exploitative.
You're free to attempt to send anonymous messages off the forum, but there you have no protection against prying eyes or countermeasures. If someone recognizes your handwriting or traces the source of your e-mail, too bad for you. Shenanigans like this might be OK off forum (though check with me), but they are definitely not allowed here.
I'm not deleting the message or revealing it the poster's identity. The damage is done. Take the message for what it's worth.
I can't enumerate every illegal thing you might venture to do. That doesn't mean you should try them. It's a game. Have fun. Compete, but play fair. If you're hesitant about whether something is illegal, ask me.
Also, if you think something is broken, don't show off how clever you are by announcing it publicly. Nobody wants the game broken. Tell me, and if it is broken, I will fix it, and thank you for it.
P.S. While I'm allowing off-forum anonymous messaging for now, if turn this game into a shitstorm of fake identities that is barely recognizable as a game of Mafia, I will disallow that as well.
