> [@One\_And\_Only\_Wanderers](#): > > Mrs. McGinty targeted Normal Phase last Night, and took an action that can be described as aggressive. This is true, but rather misleading. I targeted Normal Phase, and the action would have been aggressive had it been triggered. However, the aggression would not have been directed at Normal Phase. My full role PM: [QUOTE=storyteller0910] Welcome to the game; you are the **Original Recipe Ash** **ALIGNMENT:** Town **GENERIC:** Special **WIN CONDITION:** All Scum and malicious third-parties (if any) have been vanquished. **BACKGROUND:** You have heard it said that Superman wears Chuck Norris underpants. That may well be true. But if you look closer, you’ll find that all those tiny Chuck Norrises decorating the Man of Steel’s stylish boxer-briefs are wearing little underoos of their own, and on those underoos are pictures of a guy with two thumbs, and _that_ guy is _you._ You are Ash, the original recipe, and back in your day you faced down a Demon Apocalypse much like this one using only a Remington 12-gauge shotgun, a chainsaw, and some badly-written quips. Your kid was in the last movie, but this time around they need something more. They need a real hero. They need the guy who once, on a dark night many years ago, uttered the nigh-on Shakespearan words, “This is my boomstick.” Now, some time has passed. You have replaced the hand the Demons took from you lo those many years ago with a fine robot prosthetic, and you haven’t shotgunned anyone’s head off in… well, it’s been at least a week. You have a bit less hair on your head and a few more wrinkles on your face. But your supply of _awesome_ is as unlimited as ever. We’d wish you luck, but let’s face it: Ash doesn’t need Luck; _Luck_ needs _Ash._ And maybe that sentence makes no sense, but who cares? You’re the guy with the gun. **POWERS:** 1. You have brought with you a single 12-gauge shotgun and a total of three shells. You may use this weapon in one of three ways, by either Day or Night, as you see fit: [ul]1A - To protect yourself or another by firing a warning shot at anyone who approaches your target. This will also prevent your target from being acted on by any other power. Will use one shell, even if no one actually targets your target. 1B - To set a trap. Choose a target (not yourself), and you can blow anyone who kills your target straight to hell. Won’t help the initial victim, though. Requires two shells - remember, this is a horror movie, so nothing you shoot dies on the first hit - but no shells are expended if the power is not triggered. 1C - To point it at someone and fire, typically causing them to cease respiratory and circulatory activity. Requires two shells - see above - which are expended even if your kill is blocked or protected against.[/ul] [/QUOTE] I used up one shell trying to protect Idle on Night 2, when he was killed by his own ability. On the other nights, I set traps on Oy!, special ed, Normal Phase, and Normal Phase again last night. (Thus, I still have two shells remaining.) ---

I suppose the question at this point is who gets a taste of the boomstick before you guys lynch me. I’ll have intermittent access until Friday, after which I’ll be offline until Monday at the earliest. ---

Wonder if Ed’s strongman extra kill could have been Day or Night. It seems like a lot of things in the game protect against potential daykills. I know Oy’s flower protects for an entire Day/Night cycle. ---

Day or night actions, McGinty? Use your last two shells and blow Cookies back to the hell from which she came! Does scum ever have a day power? How about PFKs? Would McGinty proving her shotgunning ability confirm her as pro town? Or just anti everyone else? If cookies is gonna swing today anyway, McGinty’s shotgun could effectively deprive the scum of another night to kill, and we could choose a new lynch victim. ---

Just a wild thought… Perhaps Mrs. McG could use her shotgun to kill Cookies during the day today? That would confirm Mrs. McG’s role, if not her alignment. It would leave us free to lynch someone else toDay. But if Mrs. McG is telling the truth, we might do better to save her shells for a trap. Also our investigators seem to be doing so well at night, we might be better off not having 2 deaths before dusk. ---

I investigated McGinty last night. I didn’t receive anything from story at Dawn. I asked him if there was any news. He didn’t get back to me. Either he’s missed my messages, or I screwed up the request, or I’ve been blocked. I’m pretty sure I didn’t screw up the request, because in one message I nominated Hal and McG for my Day/Night investigations, and I got a result on Hal. story, is there anything you want to share with me? ---

I like the idea of taking out cookie in stead of ending the Day early. We seem to be doing fine and an “extra” lynch might be all we need right now. ---

I’m almost disappointed Cookies didn’t try to fight it. I could think of at least two ways I could have been wrong. Mrs McGinty, you planted a trap on Special Ed? I’m ashamed of you, grandma. ---

Here’s the thing. If **Cookies** turns up third party, I’d say that **McGinty** is confirmed, because the Scum already lost their strongman, and **Mahaloth** has been pretty much mason-confirmed. If **Cookies** turns up Scum, **McGinty** could still be a third party. So using the last two shells toDay may not have the benefit of confirming **McGinty**. I think that taking **Cookies** out toDay is probably the best move for Town, but it may not end up confirming **McGinty’s** alignment. ---

Well, here’s a thought. I woke up this morning convinced that there are a total of seven Scum in this game, not six. My reasoning? Evil Dead 1 was a 24 player game. It had six Scum (one a Strongman) and two SKs. This game was quite specifically a 30 player game. We’ve been told, and have no reason at this point to disbelieve that there were two hostile 3rd Parties. Town has a _lot_ of Powers. So I’m inclined to believe there is a seventh Scum (one has been a Strongman) to balance Town’s numbers and Powers. Then again, **story** might have considered the Necronomicon’s considerably greater powers this time around to be balance enough. ---

I agree that McGinty should off Cookies. But before that, I gotta ask: What does your robot hand do?
