And santo…did I miss something about him? Don’t want to get too involved in guessing nightkill reasonings but what went on with him!

Somebody must have realized how awesome I was, and didn’t want to compete against me. 😃

Good luck Town!!

Well, I mean, _both_, obviously.  
[/QUOTE]

Are you playing coy for some reason? Do you have some helpful info or not? We need all the help we can get, man! 😛

Same for you, **Cat** , don’t you get to investigate one of these corpses? Spill the beans if you got 'em!

You too, **Nanook**.

I do, in fact, have helpful info. I am interested in hearing **pedescribe’s** take on his own Night-time activities before I offer mine, but I most certainly will not delay more than one real-life day before I make a full reveal. Fair enough?

I suppose it’s true that the only thing that stays the same is the fact that everything changes. I believe that this is now game 3 where you have proffered a magic bag, story. Not that I am going to hold it against you (as long as you fess up before you have a chance to be killed) but I find it interesting that you of all people would start with this sort of behavior.

Oh and, I am dead in the offboard game and Cecilvania is so slow it might as well not exist, so this game has officially become my #2 priority (up from about #5)!

[teaser ad for my new game]Priority one is the bastard mod game I am developing for the offsite boards. If you want a game that is nothing but silly fun, that will be the game for you. So take a break from the fast paced world of real mafia with a bastard game. Story and Dotchan are working on it with me (Dotchan will be co-bastarding with me story will be pointing and laughing), as are two people who are not dopers but have played in the most recent off site game. It’s a good group and 5 heads are turning out to be much more evil than one, so I hope you can stop by when you have the time. It is looking to start in about a month, and thanks for letting me spam this game![/ teaser ad for my new game]

I have a role but I don’t want to tell you guys, after me and him dancing around the confirming each other.

For the record, I think he’s soft claiming a role thats partially-obvious when looking at the rules.

Right! I forgot all about that. I guess Kold getting killed so quick kinda made the whole thing seem VERY distant.

So story, since I am ok with letting you wait for Pede, but am insanely curious about what you know about the person I found to be scummiest yesterDay…wanna talk about why magic bags are cool with you all of a sudden?

That probably sounds a bit accusitory, that’s not how I meant it, I just am curious as to your thought process in this case. Talk a little mafia theory while we wait, you know?

Yep. If you know that he’s scum already, I’m not sure what you’re expecting to get out of him, but I can wait a day.

Good Morning. I see folks have been busy killing and dying right, left, and center.

Let’s hear what **Cat** and **Nanook** have to say about the Night, and what **pedescribe** has to say in response to **story**. Though if **pede** is being set up, it is understandable if he has nothing to say, but I have no issue with waiting a day to hear the rest of what **story** has to say.

[somewhat oog]My mouthful of a name has now caught up with me here too, I guess with some of the relatively recent board changes. I can’t do vanity searches anymore. I’m “too long” of a query string, it would seem. ☹ I found them useful (in surgically applied moderation) for finding responses to my posts in earlier games. [/oog]

Obviously the power roles can play as they wish, but I suggest that the Seer, should he/or she exist in this game and decide to claim toDay, only return “Town” results for power roles (unless someone came back “Freemason”, so the Freemasons can use their secret handshake on each other), or not claim until he/she has found scum.

And don’t count any of the dead out yet–one of them might have been blessed by the Witchdoctor and will come back to our midst toMorrow.

That’s about it from me for now until either pedescribe posts or storyteller opens his Magic Bag ™.

Cunning plan? I’ll take that as, in essence, an admission of scumhood.

Woo-hoo!
