WTF just happened here? Well done Cookie voters! I had just about marked her as town after the Stanislaus flip. I am just a little surprised that Cookies rolled over so easily. Does it make anyone else nervous? **vote: Cookies** ---

Shit guys. I really thought that I was getting the hang of this crap. I was mentally composing a rebuttal to Diggitā€™s post wherein I would defend Cookies, and then she just goes ahead and reveals. She was absolutely not on my scum radar. **Vote Cookies** We can discuss the validity and implications of the info dump tomorrow. Tonight, we feast on wolf! Thatā€™s what we do after we hang them, right? ---

To respond to the questions asked and anticipated I wager Scum didnā€™t target me so Town would lynch me today- as a matter of fact I was looking to see who would initiate such an action ā€“ \*\* cookies \*\* yesterday had the gist of it- Iā€™ve unintentionally outed myself as a non-vanilla role and reacted in a manner that isnā€™t helping the situation With 3 deaths last Night Scum probably tried to do something else to me ā€“ if they could ( block/track/watch/re-direct/ pee in my cheerios) You all know the drill- Iā€™ve as much as said I donā€™t have any ā€˜resultsā€™ and since they donā€™t know what I \* can \* do they just blocked me or re-directed me- if they even cared as much as some of you do. One more miss lynch and a non vanilla to boot- Scum heaven- since their NKills seem to net mainly Redshirts \*\* suburban \*\* If you had gaffed like I did ā€“ would you have said something else ā€“ or shut up? I chose the former- probably a bad idea= but I did it already- Adding \*\* cookies \*\* was rather supportive of the possibility of my statements above And has since flipped to voting me Another easy out? Votes and unvotes to follow - although I had hoped that there would be more pushing the issue before I posted this \* ---

Wowā€¦when I left work this afternoon it was a Slow News Dayā€¦I really didnā€™t expect to have so much to read after I got home. and having read it, Iā€™m still not sure if I have things straightā€¦ Apparently \*\*Cookies \*\*is a Wolf (nice catch, **Diggit**!); I get that. But whatā€™s up with \*\*Dizzymrslizzy \*\*and **LightFoot**? It seems that \*\*Cookies \*\*would have us believe that \*\*Dizzy \*\*is the SK based on her being blocked on Night 3. But I interpret her ā€œGood luck with LightFootā€ statement as indicating that \*\*LightFoot \*\*is ā€˜our problemā€™, meaning she canā€™t be killed by the wolfā€™s (sic), making \*her \*the SK. And of course we all need to remember that thereā€™s no reason for us to believe a word of anything that \*\*Cookies \*\*tells us. Since Iā€™m already voting for **LightFoot** , Iā€™ll leave that vote there. And since sheā€™s confessed to being a Wolf. **vote ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies** I need to take another look at **Dizzymrslizzy**. And finally, Iā€™d urge you all to consider voting for \*\*USCDiver \*\* because heā€™s been cavorting with Demons. More on that in my next Post. ---

So, originally I decided to post this once I got home today because participation had slacked off quite a bit, and we were well more than halfway through the Day with no clear sense of direction. Since then, the pace has picked up just a bit. But Iā€™ve decided to go ahead with this anyway, because we seem to suddenly have a bunch of pieces on the table, and I have at least one more in my pocket. I am The Demon Hunter. My original Role PM. [QUOTE=storyteller0910] **Welcome to the game; you are the Demon Hunter.** Since your youth, you have trained day and night with only one goal in mind: to join the Ancient Order of the Red Mask ā€“ the demon hunters of legend. You are in peak physical condition, strong and resilient. You are a gifted practitioner of twelve different martial arts. The sword, the spear, and the bow are not weapons ā€“ they are extensions of your arms. You have spent years building up an immunity to Iocane powder. You are perfectly equipped to battle any demon that comes your way. So if any demons show up, youā€™ll be in great shape. At the moment, itā€™s all about the werewolves, so youā€™ve got nothing. WIN CONDITION: You are Town. You win when all Scum are dead, if and only if no third party win condition triggers before or simultaneously with yours. SPECIAL ABILITIES: You are a well-trained Demon Hunter. Oh - abilities relevant to the current situation? Uhā€¦ maybe croquet? [/QUOTE] At dawn of Day 2 I received the now-infamous ā€œmysterious PMā€, which I relayed to the Town: [QUOTE=storyteller0910] Last night, though you slept soundly, you woke with an uneasy feeling. You have the sense that somehow, you evaded a terrible fate. You also have the feeling that you will not get so lucky again. [/QUOTE] All remained a mystery to me until Dawn of Day 4, when I received another PM from **story** : [QUOTE=storyteller0910] Something has changed - you can sense it. A Demon has come to this Town, and someone among the villagers is consorting with it. Specifically, as of this morning someoneā€™s alignment has changed from Town to Third Party. Fortunately, as a fully accredited Demon Hunter, you have the capacity to do something about it. There are four elements to your role, all of which unlock now: 1. You would have had a one-shot immunity to Night killsā€¦ but that one triggered back on Night One, so thatā€™s no longer available to you. 2. Should anyone else change alignment, you will learn about it. 3. You have the sense that **askthepizzaguy** has some connection to the Demon; if you wish, you may destroy him permanently by Night using a Night action. 4. Alternately, you may investigate any player (by Night) to determine whether they have had any truck with a Demon. This power is infallible. [/QUOTE] Here, first of all, is the key to what happened on Night 1. Someone tried to kill me, and my one-time immunityā€¦which I wasnā€™t aware of at the timeā€¦kicked in to save me. Now letā€™s fast-forward to last Night. I had two options: I could permanently destroy **Pizza** , or I could try to catch someone cavorting with Demons. I decided on the latter option. As I said in my PM to story: [QUOTE=Suburban Plankton] So, the obvious thing to do here would be to kill/destroy/obliterate Askthepizzaguy. But that just seems \*too \*easyā€¦and not all that much funā€¦ So I think Iā€™ll leave him be for Tonight at least. Instead I will **Investigate USCDiver** [/QUOTE] Why did I decide to investigate **USCDiver**? I was looking for someone who seemed ā€˜Townieā€™ for the first 3 Days of the game, and not so much on Day 4. And as I said when I voted for him, I didnā€™t like Diverā€™s ā€œI donā€™t care who dies as long as it isnā€™t meā€ vote yesterDay. Andfor once my instincts were correct: [QUOTE=storyteller0910] USCDiver smells of demon. He probably tastes of demon. He might well have rolled around in demon and then taken a bath using demon bubble bath, then covered himself with Axe brand body spray (now with demon scent!). Nice shooting there, Tex. [/QUOTE] As far as the Barn message goes, I tried to be as clear as possible within the 10-word restriction. Someone turned from Town to Third Party (possibly **USCDiver** , possibly **LightFoot** , or **Dizzy** , or someone else, since Iā€™m pretty sure we had a Third Party at the beginning of the game to reanimate **Pizza** ). And \*\*Askthepizzaguy \*\*is ā€œinvolvedā€. Not ā€œresponsibleā€, but ā€œinvolvedā€. I have no further information along those lines. I was rather hoping that a discussion might ensue along the lines of ā€œwhat should we do with \*\*Pizza \*\*now?ā€ā€¦but I guess it didnā€™t occur to anyone else that he can be ā€˜eliminatedā€™. Iā€™m still not sure if thatā€™s the proper course of action or not. Part of me thinks: Iā€™m a ā€˜Demon Hunterā€™, not a ā€˜Zombie Killerā€™, so itā€™s probably not ā€˜my jobā€™ to deal with the Undead. But that presupposed that itā€™s 'Someone Elseā€™s jobā€¦and until Someone Else steps forward to claim responsibility, I guess it falls on me if it needs to be done. Soā€¦thatā€™s whatā€™s up with meā€¦anyone else want to share? ---

I love how I call you out, you roll over and die **Cookies** and you attempt to throw me under the bus YET AGAIN. Guess what, itā€™s not going to work. You have no information here at all. Letā€™s see thereā€™s multiple reasons why there was only 2 kills on N3. Doctors correctly protected. Wolves hit the SK. Wolves/SK/Vig hit the same target. A redirector changed a kill Are just four possibilities off the top of my head. And since when does ā€œI blocked a playerā€ equal that that player was out doing something that could be blocked? ---

> [@Dizzymrslizzy](#): > > Suburban? What is a Demon? And what do they do in the game? Are they who is bringing people back to life? > > Is a Demon someone we should be lynching? You know everything I know. I donā€™t know if the Demon is a player, or if itā€™s a non-player mechanic. My PM said ā€œA Demon has come to this Townā€, but Iā€™m not sure how literally thatā€™s meant to be taken. All I know for certain is that \*\*USCDiver \*\*has been associating with it, and Iā€™m quite sure from the way my PMs were worded that thatā€™s a Very Bad Thing. There seem to be a few things going on here: Someone (or multiple someones) can raise players from the dead. Someone can recruit Town players to become Third-Party. \*\*Askthepizzaguy \*\*is in some way involved, though I am pretty certain that Pizza only pawn in game of life. I think itā€™s obvious that all these things are related, but I donā€™t know how. I can use my Night action to permanently remove \*\*Pizza \*\*from the game. I don;t know if I should do that or not. Will that prevent the Demon, and/or his followers, from recruiting more Townies? Or is \*\*Pizzaā€™s \*\*continued existence (such as it is) necessary for someone else to end the threat? All I \*\*\*know \*\*\*is : Someone or something is capable of recruiting Townies. they have recruited one so far, and have the potential to recruit more. \*\*USCDiver \*\*has had dealings with a Demon. I donā€™t _ **know** _ that this is a bad thing, but I think my PMs make it pretty darn clear. I am the Demon _Hunter_, but I donā€™t seem to be a Demon _Killer_ā€¦unless \*\*Pizza \*\*is the Demon, and I donā€™t think the evidence we have, scant as it may be, suggests that. Iā€™m hoping that there is someone else out there who has a complementary role to mine, who can shed more light on the subject. ---

Well, my guess would be that sheā€™s trying to get us to WIFOM. Like I said in my post explaining my vote for her, **wombat** is kinda exhonerated in my mind (I canā€™t see a Wolf multi-voting for three and using two of those votes for their compadres.

And as I said when I voted for him, I didnā€™t like Diverā€™s ā€œI donā€™t care who dies as long as it isnā€™t meā€ vote yesterDay. > > Andfor once my instincts were correct: > As far as the Barn message goes, I tried to be as clear as possible within the 10-word restriction. Someone turned from Town to Third Party (possibly **USCDiver** , possibly **LightFoot** , or **Dizzy** , or someone else, since Iā€™m pretty sure we had a Third Party at the beginning of the game to reanimate **Pizza** ). And \*\*Askthepizzaguy \*\*is ā€œinvolvedā€. Not ā€œresponsibleā€, but ā€œinvolvedā€. I have no further information along those lines. > > I was rather hoping that a discussion might ensue along the lines of ā€œwhat should we do with \*\*Pizza \*\*now?ā€ā€¦but I guess it didnā€™t occur to anyone else that he can be ā€˜eliminatedā€™. Iā€™m still not sure if thatā€™s the proper course of action or not. Part of me thinks: Iā€™m a ā€˜Demon Hunterā€™, not a ā€˜Zombie Killerā€™, so itā€™s probably not ā€˜my jobā€™ to deal with the Undead. But that presupposed that itā€™s 'Someone Elseā€™s jobā€¦and until Someone Else steps forward to claim responsibility, I guess it falls on me if it needs to be done. > > Soā€¦thatā€™s whatā€™s up with meā€¦anyone else want to share? > [@Johnny\_Bravo](#): > > OK, asking these questions after \*\*Suburbanā€™s \*\* massive data dump feels like a redirect to me. > > Do you think Suburban is still hiding information from us? It looks like he copied/pasted every piece of correspondence heā€™s had with Storyteller. well, good thing you asked, **Johnny**. His PM in particular reeks of editing. Hasnā€™t **storyteller** set up this game like a movie set/Evil Dead town? **Suburban** ā€™s PM is pretty much devoid of the movie elements and I donā€™t think **story** would miss out on that part. See, **choie**? Thatā€™s the way you ferret out information from the color! ---

> [@DiggitCamara](#): > > Anyhow, that was until you posted your ā€œdefenseā€. And the sentence I quoted stands out for me. Because no one said ā€œI blocked a playerā€. Seems like you slipped there, **Dizzy** , but Iā€™ll be damned if I know what that slip could reveal about you. What slip? **Cookies** accused me of being blocked on N3. So in essence she was saying that she or one of her teammates blocked me. I was saying it was irrelevant, because being blocked doesnā€™t prove that I did anything.
