Oh, I don’t mean that in a bad way – just from my perspective, Inner and I are on opposing teams, so your lumping us together is intriguing and amusing. And, as I said, I completely understand your statement.

But I think we should totally lynch Inner toMorrow and then you can decide what to do about me, okay?

😃

Gotcha. I thought you were referring to Winston and Sister.

So. It being almost the end of the Day, I will mention that I am the town Coroner. Investigated fubbles night one (he told the truth), no result on maha night 2.

Would I be correct in assuming, then that when you get no result, the target was vanilla?

Think he got no result since maha wasn’t dead.

Presumably he got result because Mahaloth wasn’t dead.

Sorry guys no color today. I’m running late for a dinner meeting as is.

Pleonast AKA The Corinthian is dead. He was a member of the Consolidated Alliance of Raftdwelling Slumlords. Also, he was poisoned.

Hirka T’Bawa AKA Captain Yossarian is dead. He was a member of the Consolidated Alliance of Raftdwelling Slumlords.

With 16 alive the Hammer is set to 10. Day will end in 5 days, at 7pm ET.

What Hirka and Astral said.

Could be a while before Dawn, as Red hasn’t even sent me a confirm PM for my night action; I suspect he’s hella busy.

**Vote pedescribe**

His last post was on the 2nd which is troubling and the only person he bothered to look at all was Pleonast, who we now know is town.

**Vote Inner Stickler**

For the reasons I gave last time I voted him and last Night; something feels profoundly off about his play this game, and if I could be more specific than I have been I would be. But I think Stanislaus’ case on him still holds.

Inner – are you really suggesting Pede should have precognitively known that Pleo was Town?

Well, since I think he’s scum, yes.

I am worrying about the mechanism for poisoning, but nothing in my Role PM led me to believe such a thing existed, there is no evidence from previous days that it was used so I don’t know if it’s a one time thing, a PFK power, a scum bonus or a trigger. So, while I’m worrying, I don’t see much point in me talking about it. Anyone who does know or have suspicions is more than welcome to share them, as far as I’m concerned.
