CORRECTION [see post 776](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19916562&postcount=776) that was my vote post. the formatting was wrong so I redressed it without extra notes ( there was an exchange with the Mod about it even)

I said above that my suspicion of Colby was deeper now. Frustration is a null tell to me. However, as I observed, there was an element of distraction, and that is what made my suspicions increase.

The comment on frustration applies to Lakai as well. But rather than fight like a Townie (say, analysing a number of players in the knowledge that, after he is lynched, we can look over his analyses and know that he was being honest in his opinions) he’s fluffing. His last post linked to a Johnny Cash video.

As for Roosh aka ToeJam, his disappearance could have been attributed to his job, I’d be surprised if all of it was due to an emergency.

I’m going to leave my vote where it is.

This is the most honest sounding/least scummy post I’ve read from you yet and at least you are now playing.

**Unvote Lakai**

**Vote Toejam**  
I’m barely awake, I hope I made the right decision.

[bold]Vote Lakai[/bold]

I am town and not 3rd Party.

Still FOSing the ‘ran away from the bandwagon’ septimus voters.

Moving day at work and I’m covered in last night’s drag show glitter.

If my count is right, it’s 16 for Lakai and 14 for ToeJam. And a flurry of last minute activities!

I dislike the Toejam train because it seems to be mostly based on N0 things, which is technically not part of the game. Officially the game did not start until Today. I realize that people were discussing the game at that point, and depending on when they had their role PM, but it’s more a principle matter than anything else. Sort of like the anti-mass claim people. As such, and since I can understand getting frustrated with votes for things that feel like outside of the game reasons, I will switch votes.

**Unvote Colby**

**Vote Lakai**

Unvote Angelofthenorth

Vote ToeJam

I don’t want to die guys.

By my count this won’t help, but it’s worth a shot.

That’s all she wrote guys. Give us a few and we will wrap this up. Until then kindly stop posting.

\*\*How the lynch stole town lives  
by Dr. NAF  
All the townies in Doperville liked vote counts a lot  
But the mods, who counted votes for the lynch mob  
–Did Not

The mod’s HATED vote counts and the whole voting season  
Though don’t ask me why no one quite knows the reason.

Perhaps it was because their shoes were too tight  
Or because NAF’s dusty mind never typed them quite right

But whatever the reason, tight shoes or brain dust  
The votes they did count, because vote counts are a must.

But lynching is not all the end of Day action.  
ToDay Normal Phase was also killed by a faction  
Or townie who thought she really should die.  
When the mods found this out they all started to cry.

Death color to write? NAF insisted on rhyme!  
But there is too much to do when will we have the time?

Story rolled up his sleeves and started to work  
Then a death order came in for Septimus “jerks! “  
Story screamed. Will the requests never end?  
More actions came in, but we can’t share them friend.

(breaking in)  
–NAF… this is kind of dumb. Just tell the people who died and what their role/alignment was ok?  
\*\*  
\*\*Lakai is dead. He was a Vanilla Townie.

Normal Phase is dead. She was the Investigative Journalist.

Finally, Septimus is dead. He was the EMT.\*\*

**It is now Night. Night will end at 3 PM EST on Tuesday, January 17. All Night actions are due by that time.**

[Here is a countdown to that time.](https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/retirement?iso=20170117T15&p0=77&msg=Start+of+Day+2&font=cursive)

Pfui! Three dead? What were the odds?
