**Scathach** , I think you are totally giving yourself away as scum by making a tie here for no good reason. ---

> [@Scathach](#): > > Just gonna point out that even if you are town and telling the truth, I’m still not any sort of power role. I’m vanilla town. Well, to be honest, I have to acknowledge that this is a possibility. I’m aware enough (unlike my Evil Twin counterpart) to know that my block on you might not have been what stopped the second kill on N3. Could’ve been the SK tried to take out **septimus** who self-protected. Or maybe we’ve had it backwards the whole time and **Guiri** ’s death was due to the SK, and the blocked entity who didn’t perform the second kill was the Scum team, attempting to go after **septimus** or the alleged Town Hider **fubbles**. (Oh wait, no, it couldn’t have been **fubbles** ; if someone tried to kill him, the person whom he hid behind woudl’ve been killed.) If my block on you wasn’t what cancelled out the second kill, you could certainly be vanilla _something_. That’s why I was hoping to get one more Night and Day to block and report my findings. ---

Lols, bad town maybe, but not scum. Honestly, I don’t know which one to back, so I’d prefer to see a chance of either of them being lynched, given that at least that way there’s a 50% chance of lynching scum tonight. ---

Huh. Well, cancel my last post. **Scathach** is purposely creating a tie because she prefers a random coin toss? That’s B.S. right there. Okay, if I’m lynched (as it’s almost certain I will be) this is definitely useful info for Town. You’ll have uncovered two scum team members in a fell swoop. At least my death won’t be in vain. “_Earn… this…!_” ---

My eyes cannot roll enough. Can I just suggest that if we do have a Vig that they kill me tonight so we don’t waste all of tomorrow? ---

If **Jan** flips town, I will throw my hands up in the air at the bizarrely overstuffed Town power-role contingent. Two roleblockers, a doctor, a Hider, a bodyguard, and a cop? Is this remotely possible? ---

Hopefully I’ll perform my block and there’ll be no 2nd kill again, so that’ll help prove my innocence. ---

Final Vote Count: Silver Jan (4): Mental Guy, choie, Svejk, Hirka T’Bawa choie (3): Mahaloth, Septimus, Silver Jan fubbleskag (1): Special Ed Special Ed (1): Scathach Mahaloth (1): fubbleskag As the townspeople converged upon Silver Jan, she fled into her room. They followed. It had been barricaded shut, but the combined force of even half an angry mob has been known to erode stone. What was inside was…offensive to the eye. There were hearts, everywhere, hanging from the ceiling and attached to the walls and patterned on the floor. Signs that said “Together forever” and “I will hold you” and “Nothing can come between us now” festooned the closet door. And there, behind the nightstand–was that an ax? It is! Oh dear… **Silver Jan, the Jealous Ex-Girlfriend (Scum Roleblocker), is dead.** While the township was up in the bedroom area, though, they decided to check on PCM’s room. Unfortunately, this one seemed to be sealed much more tightly than Jan’s. On the door were a bunch of notices to keep out and not enter. Most troubling, there was a thick layer of dust at the threshold. Whoever occupied this room hadn’t left it for some time! I wonder where he’s off to? (PCM will be modkilled if he doesn’t show up by the end of Night 4) It is now an extended Night 4, during which I exhort you all to have a merry Christmas. Day 5 starts at 10:00 AM MST on Tuesday, December 27th. ---
