Oh good. Rulings. Yeah, the mock vote idea will work. As I stated in the rules, you are supposed to bold your vote so if it isn't bolded or in this case, is in italics then it won't count.
As for the dupe account, part of me wants to send kudos out to however came up with that one. That was a clever idea and really screwed over oohhboy. I find it wierd that oohhboy himself never said anything about those messages not coming from him.
Still, dupes are against the rules. Perhaps we can all remember back to one game where someone created an account called The Mole and tried to name off some remaining mafia members so that their mafia would be the only one left.
I'll ask a mod to look into it and see what happens from that. I will say that in this case, the dupe didn't exactly give away anyone's identity. They just took one person and framed them so I'm not sure I'm going to exact a heavy punishment. Like I said, oohhboy really didn't do much to defend himself and it was Shift Key who brought the evidence forward. It wasn't like everyone was sent this message. You choose to believe what you saw.
I guess this is a good lesson to be careful who you are talking to. PM's seem to be having a greater effect this game and causing more error. As well, there seems to be a fake Khushrenada account out there also so be aware of that too.
