**NIGHT TWO RESULTS** The people of Town Village have survived another tumultuous night. Well…most of them. Once again, there were hotspots of activity. Multiple people caught up to Dancecat while she was tolerating a Mets game in a local donut shop. “But…wait a second,” she said. “I’m actually a villager this time!” “We know,” they replied. _ **Dancecat has been shot!** _ Dancecat is dead. Dancecat, you are a **Town Crier**. Each night beginning Night One, you will disclose your true alignment to your target. You are a **Villager**. You win when all threats to Town Village have been eliminated. Elsewhere, someone found Guiri’s gun and decided to put it to use. They felt that the guy who had been loitering around on the street corner was obviously shifty. Unfortunately, they didn’t see his uniform until it was too late. _ **Inner Stickler has been shot!** _ Inner Stickler is dead. Inner Stickler, you are a **Beat Cop**. Each night beginning Night One, you investigate your target to learn their alignment. You also prevent your target from carrying out, or being the victim of, any killing night actions that night. You are a **Villager**. You win when all threats to Town Village have been eliminated. Finally, peekercpa was a prominent town citizen who had always attracted a lot of attention. Last night he attracted the wrong kind. peekercpa is dead. peekercpa, you are a **Lightning Rod**. Each night beginning Night One, you select a target. All night actions aimed at your target will be redirected to you. You are a **Villager**. You win when all threats to Town Village have been eliminated. _ **brewha has been poisoned!** _ **DAY THREE HAS DAWNED.** Night will fall on Saturday at 12 pm EDT. ---

Well that’s a hell of a start to the Day. And as good as I felt about being right about BlaM I feel bad about being wrong about Inner. Grump. Also I got effin weird results on my Night action again last Night that are totally inexplicable. ---

Damn, the bloodshed is high. I didn’t get any message toDay (like I did yesterDay about Dancecat). Okay, so I’m pretty much of the mind that the **Inner Stickler** train yesterday (which built even faster than the **Blaster Master** one did) could have been scum trying to save one of their own. Sure, **Blaster** ’s could have had scum bussing on him to gain some Town cred (and I have no doubt there’s at least one who were on that train as well–maybe even more)…but I also have no doubt there had to be scum on the **Inner Stickler** train, especially there at the end (not counting **Blaster Master** , who was just trying to save his own skin). So let’s take a look at who was in the last half to vote: Scathach [2451], Silver Jan [2460], brewha [2466], lilflower [2469] (who unvoted), Blaster Master [2486]. **Blaster Master** was scum, so he’s out, and **lilflower** unvoted in order to stop a tie from happening. While this doesn’t clear her totally, it is a more pro-Town move, IMO. That leaves **Jan, Scathach** and **Brewha**. **Jan** is the person I’d have voted for, if anyone, in that huge mash yesterday…just to get some info on the situation (reasons given multiple times yesterDay), but now that it’s a new Day, there might be new information coming to light, so I’m willing to sit on it for now. **Scathach** and **Brewha** , though, I’m willing to bet there’s a scum among them. And since\*\* BREWHA\*\* doesn’t seem to have very long to live now that he’s been poisoned: **Vote Brewha.** Other players I’m still suspicious of (either a little or a lot): **Scuba Ben, PCM** ---

voting brewha when he’s poisoned is silly everyone who switched/voted inner stickler late should get a very very hard look ---

> [@pwnsall](#): > > voting brewha when he’s poisoned is silly > > everyone who switched/voted inner stickler late should get a very very hard look These two statements are contradictory. **Brewha** was one of the late switcher/voters for Inner Stickler, so voting for him would be a possibility that applied to your own logic. Therefore that’s why I’m voting for him (not just because he’s poisoned) ---

Well, shit. I can almost guarantee that the run on **Inner** late in the Day contained at least one Scum in the voting. Also, it appears that **Inner** ’s results were not transmitted to others. I’m also going to move **Scuba** into the soft-cleared pile. I’ve seen **BlaM** bus as Scum before (and been the victim of said bussing, actually) but I don’t feel that’s the case here. I don’t see **BlaM** doing that AND making the risky play he did regarding his vote for **Jan**. ---

The Night results are… unpleasant. I had a thought this morning that there would be a truthful equivalent to Blaster Master’s role of Propagandist. It’s good to find out that I was correct – but it’s bad to find out by virtue of Dancecat getting Killed. Were there any breadcrumbs from Inner Yesterday about eir N1 investigation? Also, I want to suggest a plan with respect to my Night action, and I’d like feedback. 1. I report ONE of my targets. 2. That player reports any Night messages they received. 3. Other people report any Night messages they received about my target. 4. Everybody reports any similar messages they received about themselves or other people. 5. I report my other target, and see if they appear in the list from step 4, and in regards to what message. This should strongly indicate what my Night action is. And for the record, I received no Night messages and no indication as to the result of my action. Finally, I will be AFK from Friday 5 PM EDT through Dusk. ---
