Well, that’s not exactly suprising.

Great commentary from Sach, though.

So, he’s flat out telling us there are more liars? I mean, I am not all that surprised that there are, I am surprised he is telling us.  
It apparently takes 2 Days for something to become a long standing tradition.

Offers grapes and cheese and slowly backs away.

And I will flat out tell you and sach. Modkill any liars. There has never been a mafia game where lying, cheating and dastardly deeds has not been dealt with the, how should we say, most ruthless consequence. C’mon sach let’s get control of these hooligans.

If Day ends regardless of the presence of Og does that mean that Day begins regardless of presence or lack, therof?

Yeah, that’s a great idea. Since he’s not around, I’ll decide all the Night actions.

Everyone but me is dead and I automatically win this game and the next one too.
