This Day has seemed forever long, especially when the end result was known nearly from moment one. I’ll be glad when the game speeds up, however it happens.

You’re telling me. I think I had a 2-3 day period this last week where I would have sworn I wasn’t playing in any Mafia games. Hopefully getting back on a weekly schedule will get things really moving :eek:

You’re right that this doesn’t make much difference, but just so you’re aware, unvotes are not strictly necessary to place a new vote:

[QUOTE=The Rules]  
Each player may have only one active vote. By voting for another player, you are implicitly revoking your vote on the previous player.  
[/QUOTE]

So his current vote actually is **Koldanar** , whether he had previously voted No Lynch or not. Just thought you should know for your chart in case it comes up again.

I’m sorry I haven’t been here for the last week or so. Real life called.

I’m casting my vote on what I recall from the last time I was here. I have a pile of email to go through, then I should be back into the the thread.

Duly noted. Thanks for the info.

It was one of those hot summer afternoons that never seemed to end. The gallows was set and ready to go. The prisoner was locked in a cell nearby. Everyone waited for the Day to end and the execution to be carried out. As the appointed hour came, a thunderstorm built up. There were a few spatterings of rain and a few flashes of lightning. But not enough to disperse the crowd. Finally, with a few accusations, the condemned walked up to the platform and was duly hung.  
**pedescribe** is lynched.

And an announcement is made:  
**Darth Sensitive** was a member of the international Cabal!  
So, that conspiracy really does exist.

As villagers headed into the pub for the typical evening fare, a muffled murmur meandered through the multitudes. It seems the storm was not with out victims.  
**CoG888** is charred by lightning.

Oh, man, it’s an _international_ Cabal?!? Fuck, I thought it was just a _local_ Cabal. We are well and truly screwed now!

So in theory we got two cabalist in two Days damn we’re good. Considering the trouble Mind Erasers got me into two weeks ago I think I’ll go light this time I’ll take a Harvest Moon.

_It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it_.

Just so you know, I will not back off unpopular thoughts that I feel are pro town just because of the clamour from the crowd.

Nore should you. Stick to your guns man! Unless your ideas are actually not pro town, then back off. Your call there though, far be it from me to tell you what is anti town (that there was sarcasm for the folks who have played with me before).

Anyway, we caught a cabalist! That is good news. Celebrate a little.

CoG888 getting mod killed kind of blows, but that’s life in the mafia city. At least we will learn his alignment, eventually. And Pede was scum of some flavor, so that’s cool too. All in all I think toDay was a good Day, and what was said and not said was very telling.

Wait a minute. Are you saying your investigation failed and you’re assuming that’s because it was a vampire kill, but it could be some other block, or that you got a result that said “Vampire”? Because my understanding of your role is that you wouldn’t get that result. Please somebody correct me if I’m wrong in my reading.

Cat’s detectoring failed, so by process of elimination it was a Vamp…but we get no name I.D.
