Psst… There were no names before the edit, either. I actually edited to fix a typo, and then couldn’t resist making up an edit reason. Hence the “NOT!” And that’s all I have to say about that. ---

This has to be one of the quietest Mafia Nights I have seen. The town looks really shellshocked at the moment. So **Blaster Master** , what happens next… ---

I think they must have hit the Priest. Not good for town. Either that or make a recruit attempt. In which case I hope they wasted it. 🙂 ---

Here is how I see the current population of the town. 5 Cult : Prophet, 4 Cultists (inc. 1 Avatar) 4 Non-believers : Alchemist, Psycho, 1 non-believer, Martyr 9 Town: Priest, Disciple, Apprentice, 2 Monks, 4 vanilla town Will, this be difficult for the town, yes, but not impossible. It looks as though they believe **Hockey Monkey** ’s claim of being Alchemist, but I cannot believe no-one has even looked the idea of the Appentice coming forward as a really bad idea and, in fact, what could be a really big scum tell. I would put aside the possiblity of recruitment until at least the next night, when one of the possibilites will disappear, ie: whether the Psychopath kills or not. ---

[QUOTE=Blaster Master] Nevermind. ☹ [/QUOTE] Don’t worry about it. I actually prefer this thread to be kept spoiler free for those of us trying guess what’s going on. It’s like just like listening to a long radio mystery play. It also allows those who want to sub in a chance to mention it without gaining too much info and of course prevents accidents like M3 from occuring. Not too mention my hopeless theories on the town. You will probably get several requests for PM’s asking what was so interesting, followed by several comments on this thread about how amusing it was. 😃 ---

Oh well, another interesting day is passing. One thing has stood out. If the recruitment did take place last night and the cultists wanted to pick someone for definite, then the obvious target would be **Hockey Monkey**. Suprising how most people still consider her town. I am slightly concerned that the town is not pushing as hard as it might do and that a few players are either keeping a low profile or not posting. I get the feeling that a lot of the work done today was done by the Cultists. Add \*\*USCDiver \*\* to my possible list of Cultists. **Hockey Monkey, sachertorte, Queuing, USCDiver, zuma** being my current suspect list. (Alright Kat, I know its horribly wrong, but I can guess 🙂 ) I have a feeling that **Pygmy Rugger** is a town power role, but is backed into a corner from his/her posts and will probably be dunked unless someone can come up with a better idea. ---

I can’t believe how quiet the game has gotten. I may have to break out the pom-poms again. 😉 ---
