Sorry for the endless posts...
Is serial killer a role or an alignment? I mean, are you randomly rolled town, but then allocated Serial Killer as a sort of power by Uberfish?
If so, then Uber could have consciously linked serial killer to a character he felt fitting.
Like GlaDOS?
Does Pindi's behaviour fit serial killer? My gut says it could.
What's the win condition for a serial killer?

Serial Killer would be a seperate alignment by definition. A village shooter like that would be a vigilante.
Serial Killers win if they're the only one left alive.

So if we have a serial killer (and I'm agreeing here that Gaspar felt more like a random kill than a vigilante shot), then it would have been randomly allocated?

A serial killer should have been randomly assigned, yeah.

there's no reason at this point to assume we have a SK. a day vig and night vig would make perfect sense if there are 6 scum (21 is probably 5 and a half, so 6 scum = stronger village). this is toned down a bit as well, since Meiz had to reveal himself to use his ability. the night vig probably has restrictions as well. (every other night, or just 2 shots... maybe even 1-shot).
a SK with 5 scum could work too, (as the one that killed gaspar, a day killing SK is just insane), but we really should focus on hunting scum, and worry about that when we have a lot more clues (for instance, 2 kills tonight).

While we can't assume SK, I do think its probable given the number of people. I do not think we should be hunting for SK though. I think we should be hunting for scum in general.

I agree, I was just wondering how much credence to give Pindicator's target post, and trying to work out if he might have an ulterior motive for sowing chaos with double votes and the like. But from what you guys have said, it's statistically pretty unlikely, so I'll put it out of my mind for now.
PS: Pindicator, I'm not saying that your post was bugnuts crazy or anything, I just didn't find myself in agreement. I'm sorry for any implication that GlaDOS might be anything other than a fully rational and benevolent intelligence. *runs and hides*

I find the contradiction between your paragraphs to be rather interesting. First you say there's no reason to believe a SK is out there. But then you say maybe there IS a SK?
Sounds to me like you know there's a SK, but you want to keep people from thinking about the possibility.

I see no contradiction. he's saying first, that there's no reason to assume that we have a serial killer. In the second, he says that it's possible, bu that regardless it's secondary to scum hunting. Just because there's no reason to assume that there's an SK, doesn't mean that it's not possible, just that we really shouldn't be worrying about that right now.

Don't be intentionally dense, Azza. There was no contradiction. I said there could or could not be - but who cares. Like Lewwyn said, we should just be hunting scum. Its dumb to even talk about it right now when it does us no good and we'll have a bunch more info on day 4 to figure that puzzle out anyway.
