Well, crap. And my FOS was on her, too, even if I didn’t vote that way. _puts a stuffed teddy bear on the grave_ **tirial** , save me a seat and order a margarita for me, please. I’m on my way. RL calls; I’ll be back later this afternoon.d ---

[QUOTE=tirial] Citizen. Great. Wonderful. \ And she’d rather die than post info, analysis or contribute to the town? WTF? \ I’m getting drunk. Anyone want to join me? [/QUOTE] I am right behind you. Barkeep, a shot of Wild Turkey and keep ‘em commin’! ---

Consider your margarita ordered SnakesCatLady! I’d want something stronger myself though. \ You know, with all the mafia, masons and monsters around this area, we need something keep them all in line. A force so dreadful they’d be scared to show their faces in the neighbourhood…hmmm. I know! Anyone up for forming a Housing Association? ---

Well, that could have gone better. I was really hoping **percypercy** was scum, since that would have opened up the game a little. Bartender, shot of whiskey please. And leave the bottle. ---

I repeat – Damn. Well, there’s a table in the back with my name on it. I’ll be back there pounding brews and trying to work out the chemical formula for _Scum-B-Gone_ spray on a bar napkin. ---

Well, it isn’t exactly surprising that we killed off a citizen. I’m just glad we didn’t off one of our power players. Wait, no strategy talk. OK, I can wait till Wednesday. Gonna be a loooong night. ---

[QUOTE=Millit the Frail] As far as other suspicious players, I’m inclined to believe **percypercy** when she says she won’t post unless she has something to say. It’s not necessarily helpful, but I’m not reading anything more into it. [/QUOTE] Ah, but vindication isn’t really all that comforting when our numbers are shrinking by two already. (Two, including whomever the Mafia decides to off tonight, of course.) Hope to see you in the morning, pals, and let’s start analyzing what we have to work with early on. I’ll just have water, please…I need to think clearly and keep my reflexes sharp!! ---

Look on the bright side, **tirial**. At least we still have one psychic cat ( **SnakesCatLady** ’s)… Sorry, **percypercy** , but that sudden swing of votes at the end of last day was… unexpected. A tequila for me, barkeep. Hell… leave the bottle and add one of mezcal. ---

Ah, I should mention- I’m going out of town (for an interview! Yay me!) this Thursday night. Any posts I make will have to be done over my phone for most of the weekend, so if I seem to make only a few short posts with lots of misspellings, you know why. ---

I was starting to get a bad feeling about **percypercy** when she didn’t get a chance to defend herself; OTOH, I’m not sure we had a a better target with the way the \*\*Lightnin’ \*\* wagon quickly fell away. We’ll one for you tomorrow. FTR, I’m going to be VERY busy this week and next (semester coming to an end) and out of town this weekend. So don’t be surprised if my post count drops off. I’ll still try to contribute at least once daily (except for this weekend, when I’ll have no access). ---

Can we take this opportunity to get a rules clarification? If the sun comes up in the morning and we’re all here for breakfast, will we know why no one was killed? Whether the doc or night watchman interfered? Or will it just remain a mystery until the after-game epilogue? ---

That is, we won’t know if it was the night watchman, the doctor, a conversion, or no murder–though I can’t see the last one ever happening.
