I guess I can stop now. Because if it works, you’ll have gotten it before me (like you, though, I don’t figure it WILL work. But it was worth a shot). ---

I know a lot of things. Some of them are probably unknown to the rest of you, yes. For one, I’m pretty sure that storyteller does not want 625 PMs about who wants to take the book from whom. It’s interesting that both Drain and you thought it was worth a shot. ---

It is clear that whoever has the book currently is someone to be distrusted, whether that’s **NAF** or the person who stole it from him. If **NAF** doesn’t get lynched, he needs to get investigated toNight, for certain. Chances are someone investigated him last Night, and he likely came up Scum. If he comes up Scum again, something’s fishy. ---

I’m not fully trusting NAF(or anyone), but I can’t see why there could not be a game mechanic that would allow the book to be taken. Are you privy to any information about the book that the rest of us don’t have? Holy shit, this thread blew up in the last couple of hours. I haven’t read (nor will I have time to this evening) the posts from the one I’m quoting to this one, but will first thing in the morning. First of all (OK so I did skim it) I do not have the book. Secondly, I’m privvy to nothing. I can’t see how the book would be at all usable if it could be taken randomly or at any given time. Like I said, maybe if it were used against the head deadite. Maybe if it were used against any deadite for that matter. But, NAF was supposed to use it against himself. If someone actually has the power to take the book whenever they want, why have it on the desk in the first place? Why not just have that guy start with it? I just can’t see an in game scenario where it would make sense. Why not? I guess Im’ just not that imaginative, I don’t know. Can you propose something that would logically make NAF’s stolen book claim make sense? I’ll be back in the morning. ---

> [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > I no longer think NAF is as scummy or suspicious as I did before since he doesn’t have the book anymore. > Oh, sure, he could have actually passed it on to another scum, if he’s scum himself…but my entire suspicion on him was mostly only because he insisted on keeping the book. Putting it back on the pedestal (my preferred choice), passing it on, or losing it to someone else is keeping it in motion, at least. > > Do anyone want to admit to having the book? I’m betting not. I don’t. And if everyone ingame says they don’t have it, either scum does and doesn’t want to admit it or it’s in some kind of game limbo right now known only to Storyteller. I don’t think the fact that NAF now claims that he doesn’t have the book makes him any less suspicious. He could well be lying about not having it. Especially since no one else claims to have it. And he still wanted to hang onto to it, no matter what. It seems it is clearly in the hands of scum. > [@NAF1138](#): > > Sadly this is the point in the game where I would really be hoping that story or MHaye would post something longish and analytical so I could get a fresh perspective on things.

But can I put in a plea for town not to get totally wrapped up in what is going on with the book and to actually start looking at votes cast and deaths played and people’s reactions to all of that. > > I am going to still try to make some cases toDay, but I need a break. Why do I find it suspicious when people say OK, it’s fine to lynch me? It really just goes against my grain. ---

[quote=“TexCat, post:1252, topic:555493”] I don’t think the fact that NAF now claims that he doesn’t have the book makes him any less suspicious. He could well be lying about not having it. [quote] True…but again, him saying he doesn’t have it = he could be lying, he could not be. Him saying he has it = I tend to believe him since…why would someone lie about that? So since my suspicions of him were based on something I saw as factual (Him having the book)…I have lost a major part of them due to it now being something that could be either or and thus, a null tell. ---

> [@Drain\_Bead](#): > > I disagree with his play yesterDay and recognize that it is potentially Scum-motivated. . I am afraid you are going to have to point that one out to me. I don’t remember you making any kind of case against me. I remember a few being made, one of them was actually not that bad, the others were sort of weak crap. Which one was yours? > [@drainbead](#): > > If NAF doesn’t get lynched, he needs to get investigated toNight, for certain. Chances are someone investigated him last Night, and he likely came up Scum. If he comes up Scum again, something’s fishy. So you want an investigator to waste a second investigation on me? That’s foolish. Better a vig take me out toNight. That would honestly be the play that was in town’s best interest. I am sort of a waste of a lynch. > [@texcat](#): > > Why do I find it suspicious when people say OK, it’s fine to lynch me? It really just goes against my grain. I don’t know, why? Particularly when they have been playing with the stated intention of dying early in the game since the start of the game. Weird. ---

NETA: so those quotes don’t seem totally contradictory. I am ok with being lynched. I get it. If the shoe was on the other foot I would want to lynch me too. But it isn’t the best play for town. Town’s best play is to have a vig (and I am sure there is one) kill me. I have played totally transparently and you will at least be able to trust the little that I was able to get out into the game once I am dead. A lynch of someone else will make for a more productive Day though. ---

I also intend to fight bullshit like DB’s post against me to my last breath. Find a quality reason to lynch me toDay and state your case when you vote. ---

I think unless someone claims to have taken the book, we can assume it’s in the hands of someone who is not being completely honest with us. That’s either **NAF1138** , Scum or Third Party. One advantage to that is that any investigation done Tonight would be much more likely to be valid. I don’t have the book. I can only see one instance where everyone saying this is helpful because presumably, the person who has the book would say this too if s/he wants to keep it hidden. That one instance is if we have a truth detective.
