Question: We know that Shadow Facts was scum. But he also claimed to be protected. That means one of two things:

1. The scum decided to gamble, and correctly surmised I was a paranoid doc, or  
b. Someone actually tried to kill Shadow Facts.

If it is b, then who stopped the scum’s kill?

You said you did. Didn’t you protect him and thus block his action?

I thought you confessed to being a Paranoid Doctor…

Also, 1 and B ?

If I I knew you better, I would say this was a joke, but, I dont. So I’m inclined to think something else.

Everyone knows that he was protected-- You protected him. That does not mean that anyone tried to kill him, though, just that if they had, it wouldn’t have worked.

My best guess is that by **pede** block-tecting **Shadow** , pede interfered successfully with the Scum’s night kill, as that was Shadow’s night action.

We know that Shadow is Scum. I Agree here. I follow you.

He Claimed to be protected. I Agree here as well. I follow.

This means one of two things.

And Now, I’m as lost as Waldo among comically drawn ink and paint cartoon characters.

Well, no, it could actually mean a LOT of things. Not just the two things you want us to look at here.

1. How exactly are they gambling?!

b. And how exactly, would Shadow know this? / Why would he claim protection. How in the world do you conclude “someone tried to kill him” ?!

And, I’m not sure if we can rule out that Shadow made the entire thing up.

I’d also like to point out that **USCDiver** and **cardinal\_fang** each have fewer posts than **AllWalker** , despite having an entire Day phase to catch up. This late in the game, lurking is anti-Town and anti-fun.

😕

Are we talking about the night that we had no Night Kill, or the Night that Allwalker died?

Please check my memory on this:

Night 2, there was no night kill.

pedescribe has said on Night 2, he block-tected Shadow.

AllWalker died on Night 3.

BTW, Meeko, you have about 20% of the posts in this thread. Would you like a cookie?

Ok, but seriously, I think my traffic is less than it was in Crimson…

\*\*Lost: Meeko had 370 out of 1533 = 24%

Crimson: Meeko had 579 posts out of 2407 = 24%

I swear this is true. Just having a bit of fun! This is why we love Meeko!

And of course, I can’t not Comment on this… which, throws me over the stats for Crimson. :smack:

You know, perhaps I should go shoot some people or something…  
IN GAME! IN GAME!!

To be fair, **USCDiver** was a sub, coming in the same time you did. So he’s actually had less time in game than **AllWalker** has.

Which leaves **cardinal\_fang** trailing the pack. :o

I’m doing the best I can, but I am finding that when I am online (later in the evenings), there is not a lot of chatter and I find myself digesting the latest updates and forming opinions based on the input of others; my posts tend to be summaries of my thoughts over a day or two.

I’ll try to step it up and add more “fun.”

Aren’t you going to ask me why my post count _is the only one on the list that’s prime_?
