Same place it always is, see my sig. Summary: five votes for Omi, two each for Cookies and Zsofia.

And until this moment it never occurred to me that you were keeping that up on an interim basis.

The village gathers together for their evening lynching. The condemned is led up the gallows, and without fuss is hanged.  
**Omi no Kami** is dead.

Or, is he? Despite a face blue from lack of air, with bulging muscles, he bursts the ropes binding him and drops gracefully to the ground.  
**Omi no Kami** is in fact a Scotsman, loyal only to the Town.

And evidence has only now been uncovered: **NAF1138** was an evil Undead. And, **Pollux Oil** , a Cabalist.

Night Eight has begun.

Well, that’s a shame, for a variety of reasons. But it’s really kind of academic, at this point. We’ve got Cookies and we’ve got Zsofia, and one is a Cabalist and one is a Wolf, and if we kill the former before the latter, then we’re golden. So how to decide which is which?

I still find it unlikely the cabal would claim to be a vig, so I lean Zsof as the wolf.

Wait, I don’t think you meant the entire sentence up there.

I’m guessing you meant: “I find it unlikely the Cabal would claim to be a Vig, so I lean Cookies as the wolf.” Yes?

I’m not sure. I guess I understand what you mean, in that claiming Vig would be problematic for the Cabal because they can’t generate kills, but at this point, so what? What do they have to lose? Cookies hasn’t generated any kills _anyway_. She just keeps claim to have been blocked.

Certainly, not me.

Shoot, and I was just so sure.

However, us townies are still in a fairly good spot. With **Naf** being undead we should only be looking at one kill per night. Also, with **DB** being a wolf and **Z** and **cookie** being some flavor of scum, IMHO. Go after the last two and save **DB** for the coup de grace.

Well I’m sorry I didn’t make a better show of talking Town away from hanging me, but for the record I was telling the truth about my secret power. The “suspicious” choice of protection targets was just due to my relative lack of skill as a doctor. 😃

Approaches **ONK** with a sheepish expression. Offers some scotch and a real fancy stethoscope.

Can we still be friends? I promise I won’t try to lynch you again.

At least in this game.

Heh, don’t mention it! _I_ would’ve probably lynched me at this point, and the fact that I claimed scotsman meant that y’all weren’t _really_ trying to murder me. 😃

Is there a reason a noncabalist would claim cabal? I can see the other way around.

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

I guess Scotsman wasn’t the world’s best claim, but it was all I could think of, and then Omi so graciously shot himself in the foot with his town power claim (true, yes, but you have to admit it stank to high heaven.) I could go on with “Oh, but you don’t know, there could be two Scotsmen!” but seriously, why waste our time?

Hmm, is there any chance that\*\* Zsofia\*\* could be the Omega Wolf, and not **DB**? I’m doubting it, but there is a remote possibility that she’s simply trying to scuttle town.
