Damn!

Sorry Lakai!

Well, that confirms septimus’ claim… And we lost the Investiagtive Journalist too…

Of course the D1 lynch happened. How did you think **Lakai** , the vote leader, died?

Losing the Investigative Journalist sucks, of course, but this is why we have an understudy. Unless we lose the Cop or the Seer tonight (knock wood, I hope not!), the Understudy should probably pick up the Investigative Journalist role.

The simplest interpretation of that set of kills is that the Mafia killed **Normal** , and the Wolf Outrider killed **septimus** , who apparently was actually self-protecting (I was kind of hoping that he wouldn’t, just to fake out the Outrider). Apparently the Wolves didn’t share **septimus** ’ assessment that he wasn’t worth killing, because he didn’t interfere with him.

Alternately, of course, it’s possible that **septimus** wasn’t self-protecting, and one of those deaths was from a third party. We’ll know more by Dusk 2, I guess (when it’d be obvious if we again have a second non-lynch death).

I’m asking because I don’t see a lynch result anywhere. What am I missing? Obviously _something_ since y’all are acting like I’m wackadoodle for asking.

The lynch result is “Lakai is dead. He was a Vanilla Townie.”

The Poet’s Corner:

Deathly verse interpreted.

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.

Lakai is dead. He was a Vanilla Townie.

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.

Normal Phase is dead. She was the Investigative Journalist.

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

Is that any clearer?

Ok, so I just checked outside of Tapatalk. Lakai’s name/result straight up did not show for me on Tapatalk, but does from my browser. So I’m not dumb, Tapatalk is.

Really? That’s weird. Did the other deaths show up?

Yeah, everything else did. That’s why I was so confused. It didn’t show up in the color or in the recap at the end. The other deaths didn’t show up in the color, just the recap. I even took screenshots to make sure I wasn’t having flashbacks.

(I guess none of the deaths show up precisely in the color, I was reading too much into Pepperwinkle’s post above. He merely interpolated the info we were given.)

Ok, so Lakai got lynched (sorry I gave you a hard time for so long). Septimus got targeted because of his EMTiness. Why did Normal Phase get targeted? Too jabbery? She was the biggest poster…but was she on to something?
