I don’t think I’ll share that with my wife; she’s a little nervous about eight. > > My brother was nearly ten pounds when he was born; they did a C-section there, too. FWIW a third trimester ultrasound can be off +/- 2 lbs. Most of the time they over exaggerate the weigh. My DS was supposed to be 8-9 lbs, and came out a perfect 6 11. Please tell her not to worry (although I know it’s hard, I cried on the way to the hospital for both of my kids) ---

Oh yeah…I was thinking that story started the Night last night, so “tomorrow at 2PM” would be today (Friday), but I see now that was just earlier this morning. Don’t mind me…carry on… ---

Yeah Nice Job leading that Suburban. It was the right call to get rid of the book, and thankfully the zombies too. I just hope we can keep on the path tomorrow with Cookies. ---

Aw guys, you’re gonna make me blush…and there isn’t even an ‘embarrassed’ smiley on this board… I wish I could say that it was my leet Mafia skillz!!!1!, but really I made a lucky (albeit somewhat educated) guess. The rest was just obstinance, and that come easy 🙂 ---

> [@storyteller0910](#): > > **USCDiver** , a Peasant Redshirt, though by no means a simple one, has been lynched. He was a third-party player. i don’t want to be a wet blanket but if **USCDiver** was third party, he wasn’t the SK. lynching him didn’t forward town’s wincon. of course i applaud **Plankton** ’s play. it was the right thing to do. my point is, there probably is an SK still out there (if the wolves were being truthful). > [@Suburban\_Plankton](#): > > Our son was 10.5 pounds, and 2 weeks _late_…and due to his size they wound up needing to do a c-section…but everything turned out just fine, and almost 15 years later we haven’t had to kill him yet (though we did have a few tense moments last semester). > > Best wishes to all the **storytellers**! i have bad news for you, **Burby**. the kid’s not yours. there has never been 10-pound plankton. you’ve been duped. 😃 ---

Just a reminder. > [@storyteller0910](#): > > If it’s OK, I’d like to end it tomorrow at 2:00PM, unless there are further baby-related delays. In order to help avoid this, everyone with night actions please copy **MHaye** on all action-related PMs; if I am unavailable this will allow him to end the Night appropriately and on time if I cannot. Night officially ends at 7:00pm[sup]1[/sup] today (2/3). As underlined above, copy me into any action PMs you send Storyteller. If you don’t send them to me, I can’t take them into account if I have to post Dawn. Speaking of which, I’m going to assume I have to post Dawn unless Storyteller makes his presence known. The Dawn post may be a little late while I write Dawn colour, but no more than about 8:00pm.[sup]1[/sup] [sup]1[/sup]All times GMT. ---

Dawn will be up soon. No further actions will be accepted, but I do have to eat. Please remember that I am not Storyteller, and cannot imitate his style; so you’ll have to make do with my own. ---

**Dawn of Day Six.** Dawn broke over the Town. There had been no rain today; however the ground was still pretty wet from the storms that had raged over the last few Days. The sky was grey, the sun hidden by a heavy overcast, which meant that little warmth filtered though to the Town, and the breeze had a biting chill to it. Inside the Tavern was a group of people who sat looking at the body that had been laid on the trestle table. The body’s once-handsome face had been marred by a crushing blow, surely immediately fatal. “We’ll miss him.” said Dizzymrslizzy. “He put our feet on the right course.” **DiggitCamara, The Third Witch, a Town Mason, has been brutally slain.** Johnny Bravo glanced outside, where another body lay where it had fallen, the shape a distorted mix of human and wolf caught in the middle of a change, the face still recognisable despite the fangs and the lethal chest wound, delivered with some sort of knife. Meeko caught the movement and growled. “Indeed he did,” she said. “And there lie the fruits.” **DarkCookies, A Werewolf Goon, has been killed.** “Let’s lay poor Diggit to rest,” said LightFoot. “At least he won’t be animating like those others did.” They rose, picked up the table and used it as a bier to carry the body to its last resting place. As they did, they passed under the barn, which bore one new inscription. Wombat is dead or she is the SK - Luv, **Cookie’s**. Returning to the Tavern, they prepared for another Day of debate. * * * Day Six begins now, and will end at 2:00pm EST on Thursday March 7[sup]th[/sup]. ---

I’m neither dead, nor the SK. I’m the backup vig. If the barn message was written by the wolves, and they tried to kill me, then someone must have protected me. ---

You seem like an unlikely protection target, Wombat. But then again, Diggit did seem like a good protection target and he’s dead this morning. Did you kill Cookies? Perhaps you can share the deaths you are responsible for? ---

> [@TexCat](#): > > You seem like an unlikely protection target, Wombat. But then again, Diggit did seem like a good protection target and he’s dead this morning. Did you kill Cookies? Perhaps you can share the deaths you are responsible for? Here is my original PM - > [@](#): > > * * * > > Welcome to the game; you are the Grave Robber. > > You’re not a weirdo. It’s an unspecified era before the invention of the Xbox; a man needs a hobby. Yours just happens to be digging up the dead, then collecting and cataloguing their most precious possessions in a shrine-like secret room under your kitchen. I ask you: is that the pastime of a weirdo? > > Others may look askance at the way you spend your time, but you’re as much a part of this Town as they, and while you can you’ll contribute to its defense in your own unique way. Good luck! > > 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: > Once per game, you may target any dead Town power role and take on that player’s powers. Once you choose to adopt a player’s powers, you are locked into their role for the remainder of the game. So I dug up \*\*Pleo’s \*\*grave and took over his role on Night 2. I wasn’t given Pleo’s original PM (although I asked if I was entitled to it), but I did receive this additional information: > [@](#): > > You definitely don’t get a role PM. But I do owe you a description of your newly adopted powers, as follows: > > You are a Vigilante, and as you assume this role, you are a Compulsory one at that. Each Night, you must target a player of your choice and kill them until they are dead. This power may not work on the Alpha Wolf, though it will work on the Serial Killer unless you are blocked or (s)he is protected. > > You are driven to help your village via indiscriminate slaughter, but this may not always be so. Once the Serial Killer is dead by any means and you have yourself killed at least one non-Town player of any stripe, your Nightly kills go from compulsory to optional. My kills: N2: **RyJae** N3: **Choie** N4: **Mahaloth** N5: **Cookies** Note that I am a compulsory vig until the SK is dead. ---
