If we go with the thought that there is one wolf left If we get one today- we should be golden If we don’t- the last wolf will take out a Town player in the Night And that leaves 1/1 so game over You, \*\* Meeko \*\* were tied for the lynch A known ( now) wolf unvoted you \* to prevent a tie \* A wolf made an un vote that could have saved you= ergo= suspect Would you care to fully claim? Same question to \*\* fubbles \*\* ---

Here is my claim. It will become instantly apparent why I didn’t want to. (How can I prove that this is my one and only role?) But, it does match my play and participation (or lack therein) for this game. [QUOTE=storyteller0910] **Welcome to the game; you are a Peasant Redshirt.** Your IMDB credit for this one will read “baker” or “tavern keeper” or “ drunken man,” but your _real_ job in this film is to mill around behind the named characters, to periodically ad lib background dialogue – “oh no, it’s the Mayor’s severed arm!,” or “she’s a witch, burn her!,” or “my, this stew is amazing, considering it was made from the Mayor’s severed arm!” – and, in all likelihood, to die. For that is the fate that awaits every crusty, scabby peasant like yourself, at least in a B-horror movie like this one: in pieces, in flames, in water, inevitably… someone or something is going to get you. But even the lowliest extra can earn a little extra screen time, with the right performance. Keep your head down, keep your hand in, and when you hear a sound outside your window, stay right where you are and keep an axe nearby. You never know how things might work out. 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: Juggling, accents, driver’s license, good with children, experienced background actor. All valuable weapons in the battle against men and women who transform into murderous wolves under the moonlight. Good luck. [/QUOTE] ---

A vanilla townie is hard pressed right now. A Meeko is hard pressed right now.😃 Well at least we are on the same page now. I still think someone is playing fast and loose right now. There is a PIS somewhere, active. Not that I can find it. ---

Not that I can find it. I honestly have no idea what the hell you are saying. and I’m not the only one - it’s been commented on several times throughout the game that your posts have been complete nonsense, and as a result everyone has been inclined to just give you a pass as being a confused townie. if I’m ever scum, I’m going to try using this tactic and see if it works for me. > [@Meeko](#): > > Fubbs, what say you of lightfoot, in general, this game? the simple fact that you’ve claimed vanilla town is enough to convince me that **lightfoot** ’s claim is legit and that yours cannot be. I was on the fence about the ‘accidental power role claim’ as it could have just easily been a mistake made by scum as town, but the claim is doctor, you have not counter claimed, none of the dead flipped doctor, and there’s no way I believe that a) there was no real doctor and b) the last scum happened to soft and then hard claim a non-existent doctor role. **babale** ’s confirmed, **lightfoot** ’s claim isn’t countered, which is as good as confirmed, so that makes you the last remaining scum by process of elimination. **vote meeko** ---

Fubbs is still trying to make a case against me, and he hasn’t claimed. ---

After we hang you out to dry, I am going to ask you how you managed to channel Pleonast so well in this post. You are after me so hard here, and you’ve added nothing to your own defense, it’s amazing you are still in this game. I would explain further but I think we can both agree there would be no point. ---

I find it interesting Fubbs, that you are this aggressive, when you’ve never been this way against me before. Tell me Fubbs, what’s different for you this game, to have a need to come after me this much? Oh, you’re scum? Got it. ---

My play has been hindered severely because I have had no clue what is going on. Vanilla townies would know this. Scum would have to ask vanilla for their perspective on it. I’ve shown you the former, you are now asking the latter. **Please explain the second part.** I am vanilla. I have no reason to counter claim. Do you? Or are you slipping right now? Oh, and were you going to post a role? You know the one, where you tell us you are scum. ---

> [@LightFoot](#): > > This looks suspect for you Meeko I would assume the vote change was orchestrated to give an otherwise 50/50 coin flip of a day an advantage to the scum. Fubbs is throwing everything at the wall to get something to stick here. ---

Lightfoot : if you want to review my posts and Fubbs posts per this game, go ahead. Consider the vote record. Or go with your gut. Gut, or efforts we put forth in this game, such as they are, I think they will lead you to the same. It’s obvious to me now what has been obvious to Fubbs on night zero. We won’t be changing our votes. ---

**Fubbs** You are basing the rest of the game based on my claim. And then, you indirectly claim the same exact role. Why am I skeptical here? ---

A quandary I have \*\* Meeko \*\* isn’t certain that I’m the Doc \*\* fubbles \*\* seems to be Meeko could be a frustrated Townie that doesn’t know who to believe ( I was not an effective Doc) Fubbles - Town that believes there is a Doc in this game? Or a wolf that knows that they tried to kill me and failed? \*\* babale \*\* increases my frustration since they won’t be voting- or participating for that matter - on the big board babale should not get a point in the win column IF Town pulls this off \* \*\* Meeko \*\* a wolf claiming you as Town is not a glowing review ( as you well know) but Gut it is \*\* Vote fubbles \*\* ---

If I lose this ( and it is mine to lose at this point) the participation of some players \* is to blame Come morning if I am the last Town standing I will consider it a personal win \*\* I do wonder why some of the dead red shirts were not subbed in for the Awol players \* ---
