Posting about puppies, kittens, or any other cute baby animal without including a link to pictures of said cuteness is a Scum tell.

My apologies. I tried to link to a picture of puppies, but it was quite broken.

Maybe we should leave the whole subject alone, lest we get horribly distracted with it all.

I still want to see the puppies, don’t forget the NSFW tag.

I’m feeling fine. I have a decent hangover prevention technique.

Drink a quart of water and take some ibuprofen. Then when you wake up to pee in the middle of the night, do it again.

Of course, they doesn’t help on the nights when i pass out before I can do that.

Besides, I wasn’t that drunk. I didn’t even spell anything wrong 🙂

I like that they always put last weeks show on first. That way if I miss it, I only have to wait a week.

Tried a couple of times to send this; so frustrating. I’ll process night actions as soon as I can and open up Day Four either later tonight or first thing tomorrow morning. I appreciate your forbearance.

5 wolves left? out of 23.

Astral voted for Episkey yesterday, on a thin pretext. I wonder if he had an investigation result on him.

Against Episkey:

1. cop voting him for not much reason
2. claimed cop in the thread and isn’t dead yet.
3. Scum could have cops as well.

For Episkey:

1. would it be too obvious to kill the person voting you? - WIFOM
2. one of the few (not the only) who reviewed the wagons on BlaM and IS.
3. claimed cop.
4. If scum had investigated Astral before and knew he was a mystic, that would be a good reason to kill him and any suspicion on villager Episkey is just a bonus. Was Astral a scum kill?  
Need to go and reread Astral’s posts.

Fellow Mystics, huh? That tells me there’s at least one more out there, probably more than one. I guess it’s too much to be asking that they’re all Town.

I think I may have learned something about my role last Night, and if so, it may be important in finding Scum. **ed** , did you target me last Night?
