As I understand it, the brigging takes effect immediately. Darth Sensitive may have goofed.
Fortunately, this doesn’t affect the situation too much, unless Darth Sensitive and ColdPhoenix are both Mutineers. In which case, there will likely be a false report of ColdPhoenix as Loyal.
Still, we need Sensitive in the brig to make the whole plan work.
Are you serious?

Double checking…
The arrest orders take place immediately.
The exam may be ordered at any time; the result is available just after Dusk.
** Throw Darth in the Brig ** which should take effect immediately as far as I understand.
Just in case we get very very lucky:
Examine ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies
But I doubt that will succeed. Now waiting for the action update…

With the arrest the new crew listing is
It looks like the Day-cycle is pretty much set.
For discussion over the next two hours: Did Darth Sensitive truly goof at the rules? Or was that a Scum tell?
(And it’s entirely possible that e made a mistake on the rules and is also a Mutineer.)
I don’t know what to make of it, but I’m glad he’s in the brig at least. There’s wine spilled all over the table now.
First of all, it should have been clear to Darth that Brigging takes effect immediately. Second, even if it wasn’t clear, he should have asked for clarification before acting. Third, when he did act, he wasn’t acting according to “conventional wisdom” in investigating ColdPhoenix, since the plan everyone else agreed to was to investigate Cookies. If Hal comes up Scum and there’s still a Night-kill, then I’ll trust Darth, but be extremely upset at him for messing up a perfectly good plan. In any other circumstance, though, I’m now absolutely certain that he’s Scum, and if Hal comes up innocent, we won’t have any way of knowing whether Cookies or ColdPhoenix is the last Scum.
I’m trying to think of a way we can both Brig and Lynch someone toMorrow. I can promote Cookies out of Security, putting either myself or Scuba (depending on who survives) in that position toMorrow, but that’s not quite enough. I was planning that I could start off voting for ColdPhoenix, and unvote him iff he issues an arrest warrant for himself, but that wouldn’t work, because as soon as he’s arrested, it would become impossible to lynch Cookies.
On thinking about this some more, the XO won’t have any power toMorrow, since toMorrow will be the last Day anything matters. And I trust myself and Scuba_Ben more than Cookies, so I’d rather have one of us in the Security seat, since it’s conceivable that Security might still be able to do something. Therefore,
Promote Cookies
Now, then. What I’m thinking is that toMorrow, if Hal is innocent and there’s still a Night-kill, I’ll ask ColdPhoenix to put out a warrant on himself, and Cookies to vote for herself. If either doesn’t cooperate, I’ll vote for that person. Then, at the last minute, if everyone’s still in compliance, I’ll make a post executing the arrest order and voting for Cookies. That will leave me, a confirmed Town, as the sole remaining player outside the Brig, which is effectively a Town win condition. Of course, if Scuba is alive instead of me, he could do the same thing.
This is vulnerable to Cookies, if she’s Scum, unvoting herself at the last minute, but I think I have better odds of beating that than I do of picking between the two of them.
Man, I hope Hal is Scum.
That’s better than any plan I’d have, Chronos. If I’m Alive Tomorrow, I’ll do as you suggest.
Sounds good to me.
Less than one hour remaining.

Both, would be my guess. I think it was a goof made by scum.
Cue disappointment in 24 minutes.
Only in the sense that it’s possible to accidentally make the right move, if that. It was a move that hurt Town, but of course, that’s exactly what Scum wants to do. He even got the right timing on it: He couldn’t have done it after the order was executed, but if he had done it before the warrant was issued, we could have switched to lynching him and arresting someone else instead.

After much planning and plotting, the crew reaches a firm consensus and out the lock goes the Loyal crew-member Hal Briston. You can just barely discern his lips mouthing “I told you so…”.
The ship’s computer reassesses the situation and orders, with the result:01. ColdPhoenix – Captain
02. Chronos – Executive Officer
03. ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies – Chief of Security
04. Scuba_Ben – Crew-member
05. Darth Sensitive – BrigWith insufficient crew, some posts go empty.
Night Three will end on Monday, August 24 at noon PT (3pm ET).
If only I had told more. Ah well…back into hiatus until I’m sure I can fully participate.
Go crew!
And now… Darth Sensitive’s report.
We’ll do our best to avenge you, Hal.
Wrong, wrong, wrong!
This is correct:
Man, I knew we couldn’t trust the ship’s computer!
