whew.
I’m still quite happy with my vote on Visorslash. I just went through the sign up thread and his tone changed from mild ribbing (saying our forum is ugly), to talking about how he’s going to kill everyone, right when the first and second third sets of PMs got sent out. Maybe it’s too obvious, but it just seems very odd to me. I get the impression that he’s the kind of guy that would get a kick out of hinting that he’s scum in the beginning, after he first gets his role and is caught up in the excitement. Also, I know I’m Town, and I got my PM very late…
For reference, I’m talking about his posts around the 148 (ribbing) to around 270 (threats). Also, I acted very similar to him in my last mafia game, and I was scum, so I suppose that’s why I zeroed in on it so much.
Oh, and I’m male, by the way.
I think Mosier had voted for Visorslash, but I don’t know if it was formatted right
It wasn’t, according to the Demon Lord.
For those confused by alignments and so on, this implies that the Demon Lord is Lawful Evil. 
Well, THAT certainly clears up any confusion I might have had.
Last call for last-minute shenanigans.
You made me laugh
My work here is done! 
I did indeed mean to cast a legitimate vote for VS, but screwed it up with formatting. I won’t make that mistake again.
I kept quiet for the past two days for two reasons, one being that I was out of town and didn’t have casual computer access. The other is that it seems like the people who suspect me seem to take “I’m not scum” arguments as proof that I am indeed scum. I tried posting early, which was evidence of scummery, and I tried laying low, which is further evidence of scummery. Trying to figure out the psychology of this game takes a lot of time and effort, which I have, but also experience, which I don’t have.
The argument against VisorSlash that I found persuasive, which has been (a bit suspiciously IMO) since redacted, is that his posts to that point had served only to add chaos, confusion, and emotion into the game, which serves scummy purposes more than the town. Suburban Plankton made that argument himself, but now claims it didn’t actually happen. Baffling.
Sorry, I was out of town for the weekend at a bed and breakfast and thought I would have internet access, but I didn’t. I also wasn’t expecting my Astral vote to legitimately make me the vote leader when all was said and done, but it is what it is, I guess.
Good luck, town. Take it down.

*It is the year 10,432…
It is the **sixth day **of the sixth month. The sun is beginning to set.
Godsmack- The Enemy
*Hey Mister, backstabbin’ son of a bitch
You’re livin’ in a world that’ll soon be dyin’
And I know everybody knows you try to be like me
But even at your best as a man, you couldn’t equal half of me
I am realizing that everybody’s lost their simple ways
And now that it’s here, I see it all so clearly
I’ve come face to face with the enemy, the enemy
You, you’re another shit talkin’ punk to me
You’re a living inspiration for what I never wanna be
And I see you’ve been blinded by what you believe
And now back up and sit down, shut up and act like you need to be
I am realizing that everybody’s lost their simple ways
And now that it’s here, I see it all so clearly
I’ve come face to face with the enemy, the enemy
Come to me, come to me
The enemy come to me, come to me
So predicting you’re the reason why I lie
Simple decision took me too much time to fly
Oh, checkmate
I am realizing that everybody’s lost their simple ways
And now that it’s here, I see it all so clearly
I’ve come face to face with the enemy, the enemy
Come to me

The group is unsure what to make of this massive, hulking beast. But without thinking twice, they can sense that it is hostile, and they charge to meet the Demon Lord on the field of battle.
“You are fools, if you think you are prepared to face me as you are. You’re not even close to a threat to my power…”
**
Nevertheless, they tried to attack. But the Demon Lord was so monstrous, so powerful, and towered over them so, that they were mostly frozen with FEAR.
A few brave souls decided to attack. One of their weapons makes contact.
Lord Phere takes 80hp damage.
The great Demon Lord barely flinches. The blow doesn’t even faze the massive beast, but another plucky Adventurer approaches, and takes another swing.
*Lord Phere takes 80hp damage.
***"HA HA HA HA HAAAA…
I SUMMON FOUL BEASTS FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL, TO PLAY WITH YOU FOOLISH ONES!!!
[SIZE=5]HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!"***[/SIZE]
*
The ground began to shake violently, and from beneath the earth came a horde of demonic creatures, an **entire army of hellish fighters.
**
The Demon Lord Phere just stood back and laughed, as the Adventurers set to work defending themselves against this violent mob.
In the melee, some of the Adventurers were wounded. But in the confusion, they could not tell who was attacking whom… in fact, **most of the damage was self-inflicted. **
Was it by design? Or was it accidental?
Nevertheless…
*Lightfoot takes 25hp damage.
“Hey! Cut it out!” *Shrieks Lightfoot.
“I’ll protect you, Visorslash!” shouts someone else. **
***Inner Stickler takes 75hp damage.**
“I’ll protect you, BobArrgh!” shouts another.
*Glee takes 13hp damage.
*
*“I’ll protect you, Visorslash!” *shouts Inner Stickler. *“Woah! What the hell is that?” *he says, diving out of the path of danger. A **magical orb **hits Visorslash directly in the chest.
Visorslash takes 100hp damage.
**
“Yes, pathetic weaklings, yes… taste but a TINY FRACTION of my extraordinary POWER!!!”
**
***ToeJam takes 50hp damage.
"I’ll protect you, Inner Stickler!**" shouts someone else.“Yowza! Maybe I shouldn’t have done that!”
GuiriEnEspana takes 50hp damage.
*
“Now, I will finish you off… come closer, that I might annihilate you!”
*
*Faced with the overpowering might of the Demon Lord, and weary from dispatching his summoned army of violent creatures, the Adventurer group orders a full retreat.
But before they do, they ask **one **to stay behind and distract the Demon Lord, that they might escape.
“You stay behind, Gadarene!” they shouted.
*
“No, I’d rather stay with you guys if that’s all right…” *he said, hesitantly.
“You can’t seem to decide, so I’ll decide for you! BWAHAHAA!!! THIS ONE, THIS ONE MUST DIE!!!”
*“EEEEEK!!!” *Shouted Mosier. *“Why do they always pick on the new guy!?!”
[SIZE=7]CRUNCH
Mosier, not Gadarene, was slain by the Demon Lord.
The rest of them escaped.
The Aftermath:
Upon inspection of his remains, they noticed that **Mosier **seemed to be dressed like an ordinary Soldier, and there was nothing sinister about him. Reluctantly, they were forced to conclude that a Good Adventurer was sent to his untimely demise.
