NETA: Shadow, has my game improved Today as compared to Yesterday? Regardless of your suspicion of me.

I don’t remember promising an analysis of **cardinal fang**. Do you have me confused with someone else? Or can you tell me where I said I would do that?

Checking in. Unless I have missed something, **Imaginary Fiend** has not shown up, _even to cast a vote to save himself_. Is this correct?

Should we vote IF as psuedo-replacement?

I think it was late Yesterday. If I survive Dusk, I’ll look for it.

NETA: I concur with Meeko. **Replace Imaginary Fiend for inactivity** if he survives Dusk.

OK, well I guess it’s up to me to break the fucking tie.

I will **unvote Scuba Ben**

and

**Vote Imaginary Fiend**

I don’t really have any reason to suspect **Fiend** more than Chronos, but he’s not around and not playing, and I’d rather kill a lurker than an active participant. Plus maybe it will shed some light on the end of Day One.

Bah.

\*\*Previously on Lost:

The Survivors….stood there silently, actually. They had decided to avoid all discussion and pretend nothing was going on. After all, no one had died during the Night. Maybe there are no Others and everything is fine.

Eventually, however, the Survivors realized they should kill someone….just to be safe. So, votes began to quietly come in.

“I think it’s Chronos,” whispered one person.

“Yeah…or Imaginary Fiend,” whispered another.

“I dunno,” muttered most people to themselves.

In the end, it was too close to call. Suddenly, however, the Survivors swarmed Imaginary Fiend and proceeded to cut her throat, even though it seemed they weren’t so sure themselves.

But who was Imaginary Fiend really?

And now on Lost:

You have lynched Imaginary Fiend, who was Nikki Fernandez, an ordinary Survivor.

It is now Night. Day Four will begin at Noon Eastern on Friday, July 3.\*\*

Why is it, that, as I feel I am getting a better grasp on this game\*, things get worse for town?

\*Actually, I think it is more that you guys are finally understanding me.

I think I’m there with you, Shadow. I knew that we would have last minute votes again. I talked myself into voting for IF, due to lurking. I didn’t want to screw things up, ao I knew I was frozen. Offering that I was frozen, would help other people know what move to make. For better or for worse.

Sheesh, I’m beginning to wonder if anyone at all has ever voted for a Scum this game. All that drama at the end of Day 1 was Town-vs.-Town, and on Day 2, and on Day 3 (though admittedly I’m the only one who knows that). Whatever it is the Scum are doing, they’re being very good at avoiding notice.

I think we all did, Shadow.

FOS storyteller for starting the pursuit of IF; FOS ShadowFacts for breaking the tie, and FOS myself for picking up the trombone and joining the bandwagon.

So. Back to night again.

Do we now invite open conversation on WTF happened with the non NK last night?

NETA: perhaps that should have been “entertain” and not “invite”. But I think it still works.

FWIW, I know that all the drama on me was also Town-vs-Town.

You know you’re Town, but can’t prove it; I know I’m Town, but can’t prove it. Shall we team up and go hunt Scum?
