Yeah I did miss a post; there’s a response to MHaye’s vote on Astral floating around out in the ether of Night One somewhere.

I may have missed a couple references to MHaye in this time frame, and there are a few afterwards and prior to my vote today, though much of the time was taken up arguing about Astral and/or futzing around due to exhaustion the first couple of days of this game day.

Thanks…I needed some reading material.

I exchanged a number or PMs with **ToeJam**. He made a couple of statements regarding other players, but nothing that he indicated at the time was an Investigation Result.

I will explain fully later, but I’d rather wait until after the Day’s results are official.

At this point I think I’d like to see the PMs themselves, if necessary edited for sensitive information. If you’ve had substantive conversations with him, why did you say nothing about him all day? Or am I being the one with amnesia now?

No, I checked – besides the “to be fair” on one point of MHaye’s, you didn’t talk about ToeJam at all.

I actually drove home trying to get to a Computer to see if I could post more after my phone died.  
Ah well.  
\*Vae Victis \*.

Fun Game, **Pizza** , not my usual style, but it was interesting none the less.  
(You owe me a personal “Thank you” btw but not for anything that has to do with this game).

I’ll shut up now and wait for the sunset…  
🆒

Since the Day is over, I can talk a little bit more easily about how my zombie status works, since a few people are curious about it.

I do indeed have a kind of posting restriction, that I must stay “in character” as a zombie, especially during the Day. Also, I must attack someone every Day, or I will die permanently. There’s no restriction on who that attack must target, except that it must be “human.”

I still have the same win condition, to eliminate all threats to the town. I kept my same class (soldier) and morality (good). I’d rather not reveal my alignment because I think it will make it easier for other people to attack me, but that has also not changed. I also kept my previous items.

I haven’t received any new directives, and I honestly have no idea what will happen when the results of my Day attack are revealed. I’m guessing it’s going to be a regular attack just like everyone else’s.

Finally, at Night my character’s “zombie” personality is not as dominant, which I have taken to mean I am less restricted by the zombie posting requirements. I don’t know how or why I was zombified, I just got a PM that I was called back to battle.

Well crap. I didn’t send in any orders to attack anyone. This is what I get for living in Australia. ☹

I’ll answer all of your questions once the Day’s results are final.
