At this point, I’d ask you for 2 things because I’m at work and unable to do any extensive searching. 1. Can you summarize the points that Normal made with which you agree? 2. Can you show me where you mentioned Normal’s case while making your own case against Telcontar? ---

Telcontar’s entire argument sounds like the kind of one I’ve seen him collaborate on with scum in other games. Since they have Day-talking in this game, I think he has worked up a case he can present as reasonable against NAF. This is your case against Telcontar. It brings up further questions. 1. You mention that NAF picked up on the things that you had. Did you mean Normal? 2. Are we to completely disregard the “sounds like the kind of one I’ve seen him collaborate on with scum in other games” part? 3. What are the exact things that you picked up on? You didn’t mention any ---

Mahaloth clearly meant me, as NAF hadn’t made a case, and I had. Not to toot my own horn, or anything, but … I thought of pointing it out when Mahaloth starting drawing attention, but I didn’t want to push my incredibly obvious towniness too hard, lest the scum think I’m just trying to draw a night kill and don’t actually attack me. Or maybe it was lest they think I’m trying too hard to psych them out of attacking me, and actually send me to my lonely grave. Nobody should read the above paragraph. I need lunch. ---

I’ve been debating as to whether or not to do this, seeing as I generally hate unprovoked claims, but I figure this may explain A WHOLE FUCKING LOT, so here we go. I’ll put everything behind spoilers, because it gets long. I’m also not putting the original formatting back in, because I’m lazy. [spoiler]Welcome to the game; you are the Librarian ALIGNMENT: Town GENERIC: Vanilla WIN CONDITION: All Scum and malicious third-parties (if any) have been vanquished. BACKGROUND: You’ve been here before. Blood soaks the stones of the streets, the dead rise from their graves, and only one can stand against the vampires - er, demons. And amidst the chaos, a lone librarian, using only his crack research skills and disarming British accent, serves as mentor, advisor, and sage. You’ve battled your demons (tall and scaly, not alcoholic), saved the world a few times, and now you are taking a well earned vacation. You are not getting involved in yet another apocalypse. Absolutely, no way, not this time. No more impossible choices, witches, werewolves, or skinny blondes dying and coming back from the dead over and over and over. You are strictly providing a little bit of brain power, nothing else. Of course, you do know of one spell. You haven’t done the reading well enough to know exactly what it does, though, and frankly, you have no business interfering in that way. Those days are over. POWERS: 1. At the moment, you have no special powers, abilities, or information. However, your sharp analytical skills are likely to come in very handy. Each Night, you will identify (via PM to the moderator) one player that you believe to be non-Town. You may choose the same player on more than one Night. Please note that this ability is not an active power and can not be blocked or in any other way affected by the power(s) of other players. If, your designated suspect is lynched on the Day following your designation of him/her as your primary suspect, with your vote among the lynching votes, and if (s)he is non-Town, you will gain sufficient confidence in your own competence to attempt the single spell to which you have access.[/spoiler] So the first Night I picked **Chip** , who promptly turned up dead. Last Night I picked **Telcontar** , figuring it looked like **Idle** ’s case against him might pick up steam. My Schroedinger’s Power Role kicked in at that point, as I knew I was voting for a Deadite, and was just hoping the Day would end without some Town-aligned Daykill Vig ruining it for me, but being unable to say anything out of the fear that there was a Scum-Aligned Daykiller who could screw it all up. So hey, now I have a spell. Awesome, amirite? Here’s what Story sent me just now: [spoiler] You have succeeded in identifying a Demon, and casting a vote in support of the death of same. You may attempt to cast your spell, if you wish. Unfortunately, you don’t know what it will do. You know only that it is certain to be pro-Town, and that it will not result in your death or in the death of any pro-Town player. Please let me know if you wish to cast your spell toNight. If you choose not to do so, you may cast it on any future Night.[/spoiler] Nothing is EVER EASY, is it? ---

What do I know? Or she could be dead in the morning. Story has told us that all actions go through unless specifically blocked (or something to that effect. It was more convoluted when he said it, but that’s really what it boils down to). DB has said that she has an unequivocally pro town power that she can use once, and she has now told scum about it. This puts something of a target on her back. ---

Damn, hit submit accidentally. Anyway. This all goes to say that, if she doesn’t use it toNight there is a good chance she will never get to use it, and there is no reason she shouldn’t use it as story has told her that it is safe for town. Who she uses it on is tricky, but it almost doesn’t matter. ---

Giles? Is that you? Yes it would make sense that a librarian would have some powers over a book. What doesn’t make sense is why you’d come forward with it now. You’re in no danger of lynch, but since your spell is completely pro-town, you’ve probably put a bullseye on your back for the deadites. I don’t know if your spell will work if you get killed tonight, but it seems an unnecessary risk. I’m all for you casting the spell, but I don’t know why you didn’t do it and explain the results tomoRrow. Am I missing something? On preview… yeah what NAF said. ---

Seems to me that this is a perfect call to make. Assuming **Drain** is on the level and she casts her spell, here’s what we (scum included) know: 1. Something pro-town will happen tonight. 2. Tomorrow, **Drain** will be an expendable vanilla townie. Now the scum get to play a guessing game as to what the pro-town thing will be – if it turns out to be info that **Drain** will receive, then she’ll be a wise scum target. If it’s…well, pretty much anything else, then they wasted a nightkill on a vanilla that might’ve been used to hit a town power role. Hell with it…let 'em sweat the results.
