Hi all - trying to get caught up on this week of posts.

First off,

**Vote Prof. Pepperwinkle**

I some people are questioning the Pleonast investigation theory, which I get - but, I think the breadcrumbs are there intentionally, and is a pretty solid clue. Could be wrong, but I was ready to vote Prof before the investigation was brought to light anyway.

Note sure where I stand with the cultist issue…on the one hand, it’s silly to waste a lynch on someone we believe to be town, but on the other, it would settle a lot of questions once we see a death reveal for a cultist - either one of the two claimed ones, or another killed by other means. You’d think that a cultist would get killed by other means at some point, just by chance. If there really are 5 cultists (10% of the starting population of the game roughly), odds are we should have seen one with around 20 deaths so far.

So - assuming Prof turns up Mafia at the end of this Day, and some number of others get kilt by Mafia or others - if we don’t see a cultist reveal among them, it might make sense to lynch one of the claimed cultists just for info.

Aside from that, I hope to have some time this weekend to dig into the posts some more, and try to come up with a scum case.
