Strategy, huh? I like it, I like it!!! [ his eyes are bright, an ecstatic grin lighting up his features. ] Far too many people just pick at a whim rather than truly consider their options.
It's too bad you don't know who actually killed Shiv, because they might even forgive you for taking them out.

Strategy is key, isn't it? There's little control in choosing a target at random.
[ It's not as if he takes any joy in killing. There's a rush, yes, but it's an act of utility more than anything.
Never mind that, though. Forgive him for taking them out...? The gears in his mind are turning. ]
You make it sound as though they're remorseful. Don't tell me it was another accident.

If the killer was feeling guilty, don't you think they would have confessed before they let Siffrin bite it?

Not necessarily. Guilt isn't an indicator of self-sacrifice. Better to live with your guilt than not live at all, I'd say.
[ True enough that Shiv's true killer might be the best target... but hell if Hickey has any clue who that might be. And anyway: ]
Even if the group was thankful for me catching the right culprit, I doubt they'd sacrifice another just to spare me.

How long do you expect this game to last? I half suspect your aim is to kill off everyone who isn't willing to murder for you.

[ but he won't say more because wish granter/wishee confidentiality!
he is laughing though. ]
There are very few people who won't commit murder period. It's all about incentive. But never fear, that's not my aim!
