1. This Day has been extremely entertaining.

2. I’ll count up the votes and post a count momentarily.

3. **Mrs. McGinty** will be unable to return to the game on a consistent basis. I am trying to identify the fairest possible solution; I’ll have a decision by no later than the end of the coming Night.

Thanks!

Hmm. So you can kill people at will, block them, track them and block protection on them.

Yeah, you need to die. Tough break.

I appreciate that. If it makes you feel any better, this game has gotten alot more interesting all of the sudden.

However, I will point out again that my Watch ability, if I use it, will be visible to all, and if you keep me on that leash you might be able to force scum to waste a night kill on me.

**vote Tom Scud**

What are you planning on doing with the Book if you are the clear vote leader toward the end of the Day? Our Gravedigger is dead and we don’t know if we have anyone else who can retrieve it from you if it’s buried with you. Or even worse, we don’t know if the remaining Scum can retrieve it from a dead player too. At least we could ensure it goes to a trusted townie for holding if you were to return it to the pedestal Today.

You should have brought it up outright – yesterday when we were busy lynching a townie. You knew who had the Book, and everyone’s been assuming whoever that was could not be town. That is better than a guess, any day.

Put it this way – I don’t think you’re a townie yourself, OAOW. There is a HUGE flaw in your play right there.

There’s also that watching NAF under those circumstances was more likely to catch investigators than anything else (and it did), which makes it at least as scum-friendly a choice as a town-friendly one. Finding out someone’s role is also scum-friendly, though the choice was not, per se.

I agree this is the wisest move for the Day.

I’ll

**vote: OAOW**

to add weight to that (and make sure no one misses it), but I’m not actually sure who should be lynched.

This. Just priceless. Made me laugh out loud and gave away that I was playing and not trying to balance my bank-account 😃

Why would I do that? At this point, if I die, I’m rooting for team anti-Town.

He noted that he was suspicious of Guiri, Telcontar, and OaOW for fishing him about whether he knew something special about the Book.

ETA: nah, don’t feel like adding anything after all.

Can someone refresh my memory here? It was revealed awhile ago that there were two non-scum anti-town elements. What I can’t quite recall (or find) is whether or not the person making that claim was revealed to be scum/anti-town themselves. I believe that the claimant turned out to be scum, but can’t quite be sure.

Link, pointer, something, anyone?

I think we should stay far away for any final voting. If we want Natlaw to come in second then it would be too risky IMO to begin any kind of final voting.  
I see only risk and nothing to gain from that.

Considering this me agreeing with you. Just wanted it out there 🙂
