But there’s no sense crying  
over every mistake.  
You just keep on trying  
till you run out of cake.  
And the science gets done.  
And you make a neat gun  
for the people who are  
still alive.

Well, no use discussing it now. Let’s just get hammered and see who’s alive in the Morn.

The villagers woke up and once again collected at the center of town. But where was Freudian Slit?

The question was soon answered when Freudian Slit came plummeting out of the sky at terminal velocity. (Emphasis on the terminal.) As she slammed into the ground, her parachute that was malfunctioning finally shot out and blanketed the rest of the villagers. After sorting themselves out they saw taped to the parachute another playing card. Upon flipping it over it read:

**Freudian Slit - - Mafia Goon**

Day 5 begins now and will end 3 P.M. Tuesday CDT.

Well that was unexpected, a scum NK’d. So we do appear to have another VIG or a SK in play - and somehow the scum failed to kill. Or quite possibly, all the scum are dead, and its just an SK in play against town. So where does that leave us?

I’m inclined to trust **Zeriel** for initially catching Mahaloth’s [slip](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11555344&postcount=354) and in re-reading **Freudian** was very quick to defend **Mahaloth**. Given **Mahaloth** was quick to jump on the Day 1 **Diggit** bandwagon, and rather slow to jump off, I’d believe that **Diggit** isn’t scum.

So that leads me back to **Zsofia**

You jumped on the Darth lynch-the-lurker bandwagon led by Mahaloth and Freudian, and rather negative about the suggested [role claim](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11565293&postcount=440). Then [next dat](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11578543&postcount=533) you say lynch the lurker is bad, and urge any cops to claim, and FS is [quick to agree](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11578721&postcount=535).

Then there is:

You are implying the card flips themselves are false - and thus Mahaloth and FS aren’t scum…and by extension, everyone who has flipped town is?

But what really pings me is the apparent total lack of surprise that a scum is dead from a NK, and that there is no scum NK:

Oh, come ON. The role reveals are bullshit and you know it. Don’t try and pull a **ColdPhoenix** where you pretend to have your head stuck in the sand about the setup.

Well, I’m still around. Still, right now I’d like to see a head count: who saw/didn’t see the game breaking post?

Saw it, not entirely crediting it as an “actual” mistake, but then again, I’m suspicious enough of gastardry as it is.

I agree. Since a firm majority of us saw it, I’ll start:

My name is **DiggitCamara**. And I’m a psychopath.

The last post was, of course, the start of the first meeting of “Psychopath’s Anonymous”.

Well, it seems like the end is essentially random from this point on - an extended WIFOM, right?

At any rate, **vote BillMC** , 'cause it ain’t fair.

In a way, yes. But I’d like to know how the Night Kills are determined. I would hazard a guess that the Nighttime “Kill” actions are, rather, a sort of Nighttime “Lynch” determined by votes.

Of those I tried to kill, only two died. (2nd and 4th Night). Do you have a list of people you tried to “kill”?
