The point is that they look very likely to be on the same faction as Gone 3 the Celt and j65d were, so whatever additional evidence or conclusions you had applies to them too.
Hard to say. Their deaths indicated being something other than what they seemed, and since we know both were undercover of sorts it doesn't mean they all share the exact same 'real' goals. I'm certain the Authorities have their own QT. I'd bet the farmers do as well. It doesn't mean that
all of them share the same PG's/VC's whatever as the rest of their team. It just feels to me going down the route of lynching/killing
all of the authorities is the wrong move.
We had NinjaCow at least claiming that he, j65, Verarde, and mayor did share victory conditions.
Still possible from what I've outlined above.
That's on top of the weirdness NinjaCow resisting zombie conversion, volunteering to die but not sharing more about the Authorities. Plus, looking back at when the thief stole ammo from Zack (few people knew Zack had it) it seems very likely NinjaCow was either purposefully responsible for that or at least leaking the information to Gone 3 the Celt and j65. We have Verarde claiming he needed to be voted a weapon because it's his speciality which is concerning given the hoarding of the others. Plus there are various suspicious posts people had already pointed out about "we're not a faction, and oh, changed my mind, we do have some goals" (in the same way this also went for the Farmers).
This is my theory on their team's construction:
Verarde/mayor/j6/Ninja have the Authorities QT. They're all blue, so that would be the logical thing to think here. Plus, you have j6 and Celt on a separate undercover team, perhaps even a 'mafia' team in the sense this mini-team's PG's/VC's whatever override their 'cover' VC's of Authorities and Survivor respectively. So Ninja posts in the QT where the ammo went after he got it, and then j6 flips that info to Celt, where he goes ahead and steals it. It should have been a red-flag in the Authorities camp when the theft happened, but for whatever reason it never went public.
Basically, I don't think we have a good explanation at all for what we're caught up in here. A fight between the Farmers and Authorities? I don't even know whether to believe that "deed" exists is any better than the "serial killer" the authorities said they were after. The Farmers claim this "deed" is important and all of the Authorities including Verarde/mayor deny they were even aware of it or care, that's odd. I could see both groups having something like that and being bad at misleading the town, but I don't really see the relation to the zombies or progress we've made in that sense. We're still not aware of the evidence or follow up behind that unless you had more details to share.
It could, it might not. My guess is it'd be at City Hall, if anywhere. If it's clear of zombies we could go there and check it out. As for any other info regarding the farmers/authorities connection, it is odd that both sides haven't confirmed they're both looking for it - one to keep it for themselves or whatever (farmers), and the other playing keep-away.
Do you think Verarde and mayor were along with roughly a five person faction? (reasonable guess to me)
Or do you think Gone 3 the Celt and j65 were a lone serial killerish pair abusing the trust or cover of the others? (possible guess but their actions didn't seem to be the kill everyone type. It would be even weirder if those two were the only ones aware of the Farmer's deed or something)
Answered above, but in a nutshell, the second option. No idea what their real VC could have been.
Or do you think they were zombie-involved scum? (a rather poor guess to me, I'm not sure it's exactly necessary for us townies to even eliminate anyone besides Company Agents and zombies when we have good evidence to tie those groups together)
Hard to say. One scan on Celt revealed him being pro-zombie. The same scan on j6 revealed strongly anti-zombie. Possibly something to do with their backstories, though we'll never know until after the game.
It's possible we can't answer any of these things at all, at least not without the parties involved volunteering information honestly, that's ok. It's also on whatever people's own shoulders if they can't defend themselves to the regular townies or can't get any of their factional goals done while we're trying to accomplish the main objective.
Basically, we need more information. I'm in the dark with regards to what camps are doing what, what the zombie team is up to, and who could possibly be Company, and even there I have no idea what their agenda is. Probably something along the lines of covering up the mess and eradicating the survivors, or they're the ones behind turning the world into the zombie apocalypse, or even a combo of the two.
Also, if anyone else wants to chime in, that'd be awesome. I'm open to ideas of who can do what, no matter how outlandish it may seem. We need conversation here, and silence doesn't do much. That means you guys, oh people of the aforementioned third-parties.
