So since both Inner and Glee were “slain by Demon Lord Phere,” does that maybe suggest that we _should_ be attacking him, if he is the focal point of the attacks against us? ---

And Askthepizzaguy repeatedly said that the game can still be won if all the attacking type stuff is ignored, so obviously it’s not vital to kill the demon (if it’s even possible) ---

I would assume yes you can vote to yourself and yes you can vote on every item. That said, all items to me. I would vote them to Stickler, but he’s dead. ☹ ---

> [@fubbleskag](#): > > it seems to me that, unprompted as it was, a post like this could very well be construed as an attempt to hype up some town-cred for a scum-buddy. Personally I found it decidedly snuggly, but it’s hard not to appreciate flattery – even with ulterior motives. As far as the Night’s actions go… okay, so we know a player tried to take **Visorslash** out, whereas the Demon killed **glee** and **Inner Stickler**. I’d been leaning scum on **glee** for some reason–I guess the protection withouth specific reason given by **BobArrgh** made me doubt him–so now I’m sorry to see him go. Meanwhile, I’ve been determined to give **Inner** the benefit of the doubt, as opposed to my past games, and for once I was correct. Yet again a well-meaning **Inner** is blown to smithereens. Sigh. On the plus side, we seem to have proof that there’s a healer in our midst! I, er, take it **Guiri** _was_ healed by someone else, rather than his own powers, though I guess there’s no way of knowing either way. True or not, it’s a relief that we have someone with that kind of power…or maybe more than one? Well, as I said, it’s reassuring to know that we don’t just have protective powers (which can apparently be brushed passed by Phere) but curative powers, too. All that said, though, I’m very curious to know if anyone will claim to have protected anyone this time around. Sad that our previous Night’s revelations re: who protected whom seems to have scared everyone off from **Inner** and **glee** –and I wonder if it’s a coincidence that Phere went after them, when the previous Night these two who had been protected. Maybe he (the demon) figured out that **Guiri** and **Bob** weren’t planning on repeating their protections, especially since the protecting action is being publicized. Everyone’s clearly now afraid of having our actions revealed! ---

I am decidedly not a 3rd party. I am, however, very curious to know how you know of this win condition - as I’m sure the rest of town is as well. ---
