> [@Chronos](#): > > The Town all gathered in the saloon, as was their wont, but things were different this time. Tenser, somehow, like everyone knew that someone had to die. In the corner, a pianoman was going through a repertoire of such timeless classics as “snfaulkner is a dirty rotten Scum”, “but maybe Mahaloth is his partner”, “but seriously, snfaulkner”, and “OK, anybody but me”. So busy was he with his piano-playing that he didn’t even notice the rest of the town gathering behind him with a noose. > > Stranger on a Train, a Townie, is dead It’s a fitting epitaph. Good play, even if I did get garroted by my fellow townies. Stranger ---

So even though Night posts don’t count towards the participation-tracking count, they can still be used in an “anything you say can and will be used against you” fashion in the following Day, correct? Or is what we talk about here during the Night off the record? ---

THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DID, PEOPLE. We have until 4 pm Saturday (Eastern) to bullshit. I will try to post some factual analysis of what went on Day 1. Focused on voting behavior. I don’t think it’s wise to talk about whom we should’ve voted for too much since the scum team gets to read what we say, but maybe that’s wrong? Talk me out of that position if you think I’m wrong. Stranger: sorry you died. I think your death has the potential to tell us something about alliances. Faulkner: I’m so, so sorry about your dog. I had to put down a cat in January and it still hurts when I think about him. Take care of yourself and the others in your family. Making the choice to euthanize is excruciating, and you might be second-guessing that decision. But the second-guessing is a good sign that you tried your best to make the right decision. Feel good about that, when you can, eventually. And take time to grieve for her. Poor girl. I’m literally shedding tears for her. ---

Since two players are stone-cold killers, I wouldn’t say anything that I didn’t want a stone-cold killer to hear. Conversely, if you’re mafia, don’t talk without your lawyer present. ---

> [@snoe](#): > > Since two players are stone-cold killers, I wouldn’t say anything that I didn’t want a stone-cold killer to hear. Conversely, if you’re mafia, don’t talk without your lawyer present. I should have pointed out that 8 players are part of a trigger-happy lynch mob. Scratch that, 7 players. Soon to be 6. Look back at what happened at the end there. I haven’t yet – but I think there’s a really good chance that something went wrong. Again, I’ll try to do something objective about the voting behavior we’ve all had. But unless someone talks me out of it, I’ll avoid analysis until night ends. ---

I lost a dog back in May. She crawled into a thatch in the back yard and died there. That’s where I buried her. I still visit her grave. Here;s to your dog, snfaulkner. * * * Back in town, I’m dismayed that not enough agreed with me to make **Hi Neighbor** swing from the streetlamps, so I’ve still got my eye on him.
