Obviously I’m not going to say who I’m going to protect but yep Normal Phase is solidly confirmed by Stanislaus flipping town. The only reason not to protect would be to let McGinty do it. But that requires trusting her so… I didn’t get an answer if a block would use up a Talisman though. ---

Just to say I am still here, only completely utterly exhausted. I’ll miss you Stanislaus. ☹ ---

Well, it appears that it Stanislaus was killed due to his vote being first. I could see that as a game mechanic. I doubt that there’ll be future impregnation deaths, but there’s really no use speculating until the end of tomorrow. I"m really at a loss who to block tonight. I could block Texcat again and see if there’s still no deaths, but that would do as much tonight as it did last night to prove anything. Well, unless there is a death - in which case we’d know it wasn’t Texcat. I’ve had a hectic weekend and this is the first chance I"ve had to go through the night. I really doubt that there’s anytime to come to a consensus on whom I should block. I"m open to suggestions, but I think the best strategy is to just keep my target to myself and see what happens in the morning. ---

> [@Stanislaus](#): > > If we trust Hal and OAOW, that suggests that Cookies is PFK and McG is scum. Cookies is probably the priority in that case. Stanislaus got half of it right. And we now know without a doubt that he can be trusted. I have no reason not to trust Hal. Right now, I’m thinking that either McGinty or OAOW is scum. I’ll wait to see how the morning pans out before casting my vote, though. ---

I"m open to suggestions, but I think the best strategy is to just keep my target to myself and see what happens in the morning. Until we know for sure (and I don’t know how we’d know this) that there is only one scum remaining, it doesn’t say anything about a player if you block him/her and there is still a death. Now if you blocked a player and there was no death (assuming that we’ve eliminated all the third party killers) then that would be highly suspicious. I’d vote for you keeping your blocking target secret, but I see in your next post, you called out two players as being likely scum! :smack: ---

> [@brewha](#): > > Right now, I’m thinking that either McGinty or OAOW is scum. I’m leaning toward **Wanders** for this post: > [@One\_And\_Only\_Wanderers](#): > > So was that good or bad? Stanislaus is a valuable role to lose ☹ Now, I understand what’s being said here. We lost a powerful, confirmed pro-town player: bad. We also got rid of a PFK: good. So this seems like a sensible thing to ask – “does the loss of the bad outweigh the loss of the good?”. But here’s my problem with the post – over the years I’ve noticed that when scum are against the ropes, as a rule they tend to make pessimistic posts about town’s chances. And let’s face it, unless there’s some wild game mechanic that we don’t know about, this is looking like it’s town’s game to lose. When I read that **Stanislaus** died, my immediate thought was “Damn, that was a strong role we just lost – but hey, we offed a PFK and now have a 100% comfirmed townie in **Normal Phase** …we’ll be fine”. Simply put, I think someone on the better-chance-of-winning side would look at the current situation more optimistically than **OAOW** did there. I think he knows we’re winning, but that _he’s_ losing – thereby bringing out the pessimism. Also, something is pinging at me that **OAOW** is female – if that’s that case, please excuse my pronouns (but not the accusation of scummitude :)). ---

I’ve been back to re-read the claim by **OAOW** and I’m can’t tell from the PM if he can use his powers several times in this game or only once pr. power. I’d be very grateful if someone would point me to where this has already been discussed or if **OAOW** would answer it for me. Also I find it strange that we only seem to have _one_ totally powerless vanille in this game. So for now I’ll stick a vote with the claim I see as most unlikely (which would be the whole point of us having a mass-claim in the first place): **Vote Texcat** ---

**SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF COLOR CREATION** Dear Players: We apologize, but there will be no exciting color for this Dawn. The reason for this is that once again, no one has died in the Night. There are only so many ways one can illustrate this fact in a sarcastically humorous fashion. So there you go. - TDOCC ---

I can state definitively that I was not blocked, not that I expected to be. I used up my White Powder, although probably without any benefit ensuing. ---

I didn’t get an answer to my question, since the way it was phrased, it actually asked two questions. I was given a chance to try again since I wasn’t warned until a couple minutes before daybreak – no answer yet. ---

> [@USCDiver](#): > > What do you mean? I was pointing out the inconsistency in his two back-to-back posts. Inconsistency? Bah! Says I, BAH! Or, perhaps you were trying to get a read on whether or not I planned on blocking one of the two people I mentioned? I did keep my block a secret, thank ya very much. Of course, I couldn’t spell it out before the night actions were resolved. I didn’t block McGinty or OAOW. I’m guessing that one (and maybe both) of them has to be town. And, blocking the wrong one would be anti town. Once again, I blocked TextCat. And, once again, there were no deaths. Coincidence? ---

I got an answer so I can definitely say I wasn’t blocked last Night but I’m keeping who I protected to myself for now until I’m sure revealing it won’t help scum (since it might have been successful). > [@](#): > > Incidentally - if you were blocked, your Talisman would not have been used and you’d have received a message to that effect. In all other cases, your Talisman would be expended. So the big question is: was **MrsMcGinty** ’s action Night Two a block of me or not. ---

> [@USCDiver](#): > > What do you mean? I was pointing out the inconsistency in his two back-to-back posts. He said he wasn’t planning to reveal his target, and also that he suspected either myself or OAOW of being scum. I saw no sign that this meant he intended to block either of us (nor the reverse), so where’s this inconsistency you speak of? I imagine the scum would like very much to see me roleblocked, given the danger posed by my trap-setting power. Likewise, if he’s innocent, a roleblock on OAOW would be helpful to the badguys. If I was being uncharitable, I’d say your comment looked like an attempt to nudge brewha towards blocking one of us. After all, your implication seems clear enough: if he suspects one of us, he should block one of us.
