I need to put my vote back in the hat: **vote ushimi** For the same reasons as last time. A scum player acting to save a player is cleearly suspicious. ---

> [@These are my own pants](#): > > I need to put my vote back in the hat: > > **vote ushimi** > > For the same reasons as last time. A scum player acting to save a player is cleearly suspicious. I’m assuming you’re talking about the end of Day 1 here. It’s true that a scum player acting to save a player is clearly suspicious. But do we know \*\*Pleonast \*\*was acting to ‘save **ushi** ’? It could be that \*\*ushi \*\*is Town, and he was throwing his vote on the second-place candidate to add to the suspicion there, knowing that a Townie was going to get lynched in either case. In any case, it looks like we’ll know soon. Whatever happens, I hope that Tomorrow has a better ‘flow’ to it than Today. This game has become ‘bogged down’, and that’s taking away much of the fun of it. ---

That is true, but at the end of the day unless you have absolutely damning evidence against someone you’ve just got to go with the player about whom you have the most suspicions. ---

Quoth **Storyteller** : > [@](#): > > 1. @Whoever Asked (I think it was Chronos): I claimed because I felt it was time to claim. I was hoping to see more claims toDay. I was hoping that claims would narrow the lynch pool and increase our chances of hitting Scum. More to the point, I also claimed because I knew I would draw a substantial number of votes toDay from the moment Pleonast flipped, and thought it would be better to have a claim on the table pre-emptively rather than wait until zero hour. It is true that I was under little pressure, but I knew I was going to be. Does this mean that you’re now acknowledging that your actions _did_ look Scummy? If you knew you’d be getting heat from them, why did you have to ask “Why is this Scummy?” so much? Meanwhile, now that I’ve got a full night’s sleep behind me and a clear head: **storyteller** really isn’t looking too great to me right now, but he _did_ claim a power role, and potentially a verifiable one (well, maybe, depending on what his other three powers are). It seems prudent to give him another Day, in which to potentially verify his powers, or for a potential real inventor-type to counter-claim him. If **Red** is right and this is a retread of Harry Potter, then we should have exactly one such role. So I’m leaving my vote on **ushi**. ---

Hmm. Well, I feel like both ushi and story are likely town. However, based on the possibility of a protection vote by pleonast, it pushes me to think that story is more likely town than ushi. More so I think that scum is enjoying the vote choices today. **unvote Suburban Plankton** **vote ushimi** ---

\*\*The loud speaker did not crackle, but did make a little click. “Ushimi, then? OK. Picking on the new guy, I guess? Not exactly what most people would call heroic, but then again, we(I mean I) have gathered you here to kill each other, so it’s hard to be judgmental. If you want Ushimi dead, then we’re(I mean I’m) good with it. It doesn’t matter, really.” Ushimi just sat there, mumbling. Most stuff about other people being morons and pricks and so forth. Fairly typical stuff from him. Nothing new. Something weird happened. Microphone stand rose from the ground, fully wired and ready to go. A spotlight fell upon Ushimi, who stepped into it. He took the microphone and did the following: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/MEAdv0Vgk7w/hqdefault.jpg "Justice League - The Death of Batman") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEAdv0Vgk7w) Then he quietly laid down and died. “Be honest. That was worse than any preceding death, right?” **Ushimi was Batman from the Comics. He was a member of the Excellent Indivisible Unity of Good Characters. He had no special powers; he was Vanilla Town.** It is now Night. Night ends on Saturday at Noon Eastern. \*\* ---
