I expected chaos and madness when I logged back in. I don’t know if I’m disappointed or relieved that it’s so quiet.

It’s Sunday morning. Several people have said they would be absent at EoD. With Lakai having such a big lead, I’m gonna guess the first Sunset won’t be that well attended. The next Dawn, on the other hand, should be as we all want to know what happened in the Night.

Will we find out other things at Sunset, though? There are day actions to be revealed, aren’t there?

At this rate of participation the only way town is winning this game is if scum kills each other off (or are among those getting modkilled). Good job everybody.

Almost 1200 posts, but…

Currently over half of all Day1 posts have come from 10 posters, one of whom is a mod.

It might be important!

If you are lynched and telling the truth, I don’t see why you could not get back in the game to replace a non-player. Of course it is up to the mods, but you could perhaps be \*\*Winston Smith \*\*or **Daphne Black**.

I’m honestly not a big fan of letting dead players sub back in. My co mods might out vote me, but if you want a sub for the missing players I would recommend looking outside the game. I have contacted a bunch of people, but I’m happy to have you guys help.

I haven’t voted yet.

The main reason is that I fouled up last week and let the game get too far away from me. My bad. As a result there is a large chunk in the middle that I haven’t yet read. I did take the time to look up Septimus’s claim, because I was very suspicious of him after the first 250 posts. Mostly this was because he placed the third vote on Colby, and then backed out of it.

The third-vote tell is largely useless once people have gotten used to it (and it’s by no means certain). However, it seems to have slipped off the collective radar, so it’s functional again.

Without the claim I’d probably be voting for him now, but it’s worth seeing if results of actions Today or in the future support or refute the claim.

I won’t get the whole missing block read in the 50 minutes or so remaining in the Day. So I’m ging to vote now for one of the leaders, then examine the other leaders to see if there;'s a better case.

**Vote Lakai**

Just as a note: I agree thoroughly with what Chronos said a while back about lynching a Serial Killer early to slow down the rate of attrition. In this game, a SK allowed to run free for four killcycles will typically kill three Townies to one anti-Town player. (I believe I mentioned this in N0, with examples.)

In that case, screw it!

\*\*unvote Chronos \*\*

\*\*Vote ToeJam \*\*

I think the top three contender cases all have merit, but at least \*\*Lakai \*\*is playing. I can buy into the poor beaten up \*\*Colby \*\*argument too. But the \*\*ToeJam \*\*disappearance is scummy and should not be rewarded.

I fear this might become a big problem, along with modkills and possible lack of subs.
