I’m sure you at least correctly guessed that I’m a girl, right? ☹

Thanks. I wasn’t sure if the idea that I was going for would quite get across. Too bad we won’t see either of them proclaiming their innocence in 24 point font.

Oh well, and so it comes down to the final day.

This must seem so awfully familiar to **Cookies**.

I just finished skimming through the Forbidden Thread, mostly focusing on discussions of my role (I’m self-centered like that). A couple of humorous (to me) posts were made by **CatinaSuit** before his entrance into the game. He came into the Game convinced I was a Cultists (when did you change your mind? or did you?). He also made a post listing who he thought were the Cultists:

“Cultist Guesses: Hockey Monkey, Queuing, Sachertorte, USCDiver”

Haha, maybe 1 for 4 if **Queuing** ends up as the Prophet.

And **Fretful Porpentine** , why were you 100% sure I was the Apprentice for Nights 4, 5, 6? was it the Day 1 Oracle/Apprentice strategy brouhaha? Thanks for the Protection though, I remember that I slept well those nights.

Are you kidding me.

How do you think they are going to win the Firefly game. See who I reckon is Scum and then leave them alone as trusted townies.

As usual, I was totally spot on in getting it completely mixed up.

Then again, it appears to be the standard. The scummiest looking players are usually townies.

Yeah. I’ve been trying to recalibrate my definition of what “scummy” is; I think I did OK with that recalibrated definition in the Asylum Lane game, but as a byproduct I wound up drawing more suspicion than ever. Very odd.

I’m not willing to guess who the actual Prophet is, but I find **Kyrie** ’s argument to be more persuasive than **Queuing** ’s. Let’s hope **Cookies** chooses correctly.

I’ve gotten the go-ahead from SkipMagic to start my Mafia game-thread once this one ends. Post in that thread (once it exists) if your interested, I’ll be doing a random draw of those interested to fill the spots (so it’s _not_ first-come, first-served).

Do I still get a spot? 🙂

FTR, you may want to give this game about a bit of a cool down for final commentary and stuff, not to mention that the NAF/Kat Firefly game just got underway too.

Aaaaaand she voted for Queuing. Part 2 of my prediction comes true. I pray that I’m wrong about Kyrie Eleison, but I really don’t think I am.
