I’d guess that strategy can resume as soon as we know who was night-killed. ---

Something had changed in the air and in the minds of the Alliance of Light. It was difficult to sense what, but everyone agreed they could feel it. Something powerful was……absent. It was if a presence they had all know for sometime and had grown accustomed too was now gone….just gone. It was the presence of Galadriel. They found her quickly, still lying in her bed. They were, as always, struck by her beauty. She was a slender elf-woman, clad in simple white whose gentle voice had always been soft, sad, and true. And now that voice was silent forever, her advice and power gone from the Alliance of Light. Pleonast is dead. Pleonast was Galadriel, a member of the Alliance of Light. She was known to have the power of telepathy, which she often used to stop people from taking actions she deemed unwise. \* It is now Day Four. Day Four ends Thursday at 3:30 PM. Note the new time, as I am back to school again(I teach) and need a little extra time to get things done. \*She was a role-blocker. ---

Well, that changes a few things then. \*\*Vote Peeker. \*\* **WHAT THE HELL ?** Fishing, at night no less, so that someone had to speak up, and stick their neck all the way out? Show me town motivation here, cause I am not seeing it. ---

I wonder which gambit was more futile, Ed’s or Pleonast’s ---

i am not quoting you **meeko**'cause i don’t want to spam the thread. but late in the Day yesterDay **nat** came out with a kind of half ass detec claim. she mentioned that she had another investigation but the results of that would be kind of inconclusive. now if she is in fact a town dick then i was merely trying to suggest that her sharing that information would not be considered strategy and would probably be best getting it out on the table. because i kind of figured scum would target a claimed investigator type. and i thought that getting that information out might be helpful to town. i hate no strategy Nights. and i was merely trying to clarify with the mod whether recitations of facts would be considered strategy. the fact that she is still alive is fascinating, however. and because i said i would: **vote hoopy**.
