23 hours, roundabouts. Or 11 hours, if we had all but one people hammering at a time. I’m not sure if we did; that’s why I unhammered. ---

I went back and checked, and now I’m not actually sure when day ends. The X-1 formula is for votes on a single target. A 12 hour countdown starts after half the players have voted to hammer, which happened a while ago. I think Mahaloth there thought he was sliding in under the tag and trying to save sinjin. ---

So… it ends soon, maybe? I’d suggest everyone vote for sinjin before story shows up, since this is clear scum collusion going on. ---

Am I the only one finding this terribly exciting? It’s like a race against time with LyLo looming over us. I’ve done all I can to lynch sinjin, so I can just sit back and see what shakes out. ---

> [@septimus](#): > > My candidate’s not in the lead, but the game is at snail’s pace. > > **Vote: hammer.** Okay, I had some time and looked it up. This was the hammer that “ends” the day. The day ends 12 hours after this post, or 12am tonight (central time). The hammer rules are pretty straightforward, not sure why I was so confused by them. So, it’s not actually a race. That’s a little less exhilarating. 😃 ---

Could be. I had ruled Mahaloth out as a likely scum target based on how interested scum were in lynching him earlier. This makes him an ideal recruitment target this late in the game. I’m just guessing anyway, and if I’m right, it doesn’t really matter… town wins! ---

The fourth hammer vote occurred just before noon today (it requires more than half of the living players to vote for hammer for a hammer to occur). Thus Day ends officially at midnight tonight. Since I won’t be awake at midnight, I’ll end it by 11PM if all actions have been received or tomorrow morning if not. ---

… is everybody just cool with the tie? Septimus, of my three voters you’re the one I suspect to be town. What are your thoughts on Mahaloth and sinjin? ---

I am not scum. Look hard at Astral and Darth Tomorrow. Darth voted me and voted hammer and never returned. Astral has been taunting us with being at Lynch or Lose all day when that is most certainly not the case. Even after she proved that it was extremely unlikely that we at that point she is still talking about it.:mad: If any one was recruited it was her. ---

1). I am a he. 1. explain your certainty that we are not at LyLo. I explained my reasoning; where’s yours? ---

We’re not at LyLo. Wasn’t it quite recently that Story lamented Scum barely had a chance. Astral is still my top Scum candidate. Yes, he’s exuding Towniness but … A big part of the case against Sinjin is the strange claim about Daphne’s Day 3 Investigation. No Town-Sinjin explanation has been offered for that, but AFAICT _there is no Scum motive to concoct such a complicated role (and err on one particular)._ We have only 1 minute left??? ---

Yep, day should be over. Looks like it came down to a tie. Full disclosure: I cannot be lynched or killed today, due to my power useage. I’m a one-time doctor, and I can protect myself and one other player. With any luck, sinjin will die in the tiebreaker. If not, nothing will happen, lynchwise. I’ve also attempted to guess at who scum will target, and have protected accordingly. Fingers crossed I guessed right! ---

Septimus, if you’re still around, how does Mahaloth’s inexplicable and contextless sudden vote for me affect your judgement of my scummyness? Also, there are 6 remaining players, right? And likely 2 scum after the possible recruitment from Story? Today: assume a mislynch (3-2), night kill (2-2). That’s a scum win in most games I’ve played. How exactly are you guys so positive we’re not at LyLo? It’s actually true we aren’t, because I’ve saved myself, but those aren’t usual circumstances and neither of you knew that at the time. There must be something I don’t see, since you’re both so positive. ---

Story implied that he hadn’t received all actions and wasn’t sure when the Day ended. But your disclosure, **Astral** , implies that you know differently, that you know the Scum Kill has already been submitted. My suspicion of you just increased significantly. ---
