No argument here, it is a gorgeous NorCal day for mowing the lawn.

Screw the actual meaning of Wine, I might never know how to use it properly. What’s really going to bake my noodle later on, is if I would have voted for babble and Fubbs if Mhaye hadn’t said anything.

That is to say, in general I’m more inclined to think that non-actives are town.  
But as soon as I say this, they would prove to be exceptions, right?  
No vote yet here.

And as I am still alive, and need to vote,

My list of who is left in this town and their claims:

The missing:  
Babale (mason witch)  
fubbleskag

The quiet:  
texcat  
wombat (backup vig)  
gnarlycharlie  
lightfoot (non-vanilla)

The voter:  
meeko

We have killed 3 wolves. Does anyone have a clue how many more are out there? It’s something like 4-3 or 5-2 or 6-1. 4-3 with 6 original wolves seems unlikely to me especially with 3rd party SK and demons, and even more especially if Dizzy’s comment about not being able to kill wolves was true. We might just have 1 left.

I know we probably shouldn’t read anything into **MHaye’s** mod kill comment, but it makes me think that **Fubbleskag** is the last Wolf. Lynch him Today?

\*\* vote Fubbleskag \*\*

If there is no wolf kill Tonight, that might answer that question, too, though.

and your reason is still that i voted for you? at any rate, you don’t seem to be paying attention to the game so you might actually be Town. i’ll withhold a vote, at least for now.

by the number of starting players there may be two wolves left.

I’m ok with a fubbles lynch  
One of the more suspected players on the list remaining

Mainly for participation flaws though

I will (\*should) have some time in the next 2 days to research vote histories to get a better read on the remaining

\*\* vote: fubbles \*\*

[sub]\* it appears I’m not the only player that had life happen at them here recently [/sub]  
I have to admit that I see no significance to the barn post and would appreciate a primer from those that do.

LOL. No significance to the barn post that I know of. That’s why I thought Meeko did it.

We’ve had 3 easy Days of lynches USCDemon, Cookies, and Dizzy. It seems like it’s hard to get back to where my suspicions were before. I really need to re-read, but I about as likely to find the time and energy for a re-read, as I am to win the lottery tonight.

Babale, Wombat, and Lightfoot I’m assuming are town. That leaves Gnarly, Meeko, and fubbs.

**Wombat** , you were voting for Gnarly yesterDay? Did you change your mind about him?

My gut was guessing Gnarly and Meeko, but then they started voting each other. Is it possible that they are both scum and this is a tactic for us to leave one of them alive?

I don’t seem to have anything in my notes about fubbs and would be voting him just on his inactivity. I am certainly OK with lynching him, but think that we might gain more info from lynching into the Gnarly-Meeko scrum.

**vote: Gnarly  
vote: Meeko**

You say my barn post has no significance, yet you vote me anyway.

If I were scum, would I have wasted my barn post like that?

Alas, like the barn post, I am not significant. I am vanilla.

…

And now you see why I am having so much fun doing nothing in this game, even when I am able to contribute “something”.  
One wonders if the activity in posting is correlated to the activity the poster has I terms of their role mechanics.

Conversely, wouldn’t I be making a lot better use of my time, if I only had quality posts?

But, then again, I’m not sure where I am with this and lynch the loud.

Suffice to say I can’t do [post or “say”] in this game because on a power level, I have nothing or offer to it, or interact into it with.

But, again again, it’s simply my job to die, not to play, being vanilla and all.

Tut tut, it looks like rain.

One concern about \*\*Lightfoot \*\*- she implied she was the Doc, and there’s been no counterclaim, but then why didn’t the Wolves kill her last Night?

I’m ok with lynching either of them, too.

\*\*Vote Gnarly

Vote Meeko\*\*

I agree that it is a little disconcerting that Lightfoot has lived through 2 nights after her slip, but until she is counterclaimed I am willing to give her the benefit of doubt.

I screwed the pooch on a vanilla claim- but I have not claimed a power- my Doc comments have been - what-if-ish- in that department  
that said

it is possible that Scum think I’m the Doc and self protecting- leaving me alone

or I am a Doc and self protecting= miss-firing at me

1. I have figured out ( as Scum) how to play so Town that you won’t lynch/vig me because of it=completely untrue  
numbers are getting close by my maths- I’m not Scum- but I can’t prove that

Fubbles is dead weight and we are nearing end game

Meeko’s attitude is disturbing me=[paraphrasing] " I’m vanilla and can’t help- so I shall not do so- as a matter of fact I’ll post something lame on the barn that helps nothing to make a point [/p]  
seriously Meeko- if you get a vanilla role you will continue ( in future games) to ’ zone out’ in the hunt?

Ok… Hold on here. There’s a doc in this game, because someone protected Suburban Night 1. If not **Lightfoot** , them who? **Fubbleskag**?

The night kill makes no sense. Why not try to kill the doc or the vig, who are the two main problems for the remaining wolf/ves?

**Texcat** , I’m surprised you are so accepting of **Lightfoot’s** claim/unclaim.

The simplest explanation for me is that Lightfoot is the doc and that the wolves are not able/willing to kill her for some wolfish reason. Maybe they are trying to throw suspicion on her, maybe they are trying to work around the protect, maybe one of them is Lightfoot’s secret admirer, who knows? If Meeko is one of the wolves, then trying to figure out the wolf motivation for something is going to be pretty futile, at least for me.

If Lightfoot is not the doc, then the real doc is being quiet. I can’t imagine why a doc would be quiet about it this long unless the real doc was the m.i.a. fubbles. Lightfoot could be hedging her bets by not claiming doc, so that when the real doc shows up, she can say that she never really claimed doc, she’s the nurse or garbage collector or some other obscure role.

I wouldn’t be shocked if Lightfoot is scum, but I am not expecting her to be scum. I am giving her the benefit of the doubt for the moment.
