For completeness sake, it’s also possible that you are not a killer at all, and the fact that you ‘visited’ three people who turned up dead is coincidence. ---

You should all keep me around! Actually, you’re partially right (soft of, but not really). I forgot about \*\*brewha \*\*being a Vig. So last Night we should have had 6 deaths: Mod Kill Pizza poison kill brewha Vig kill LightFoot kill Mason kill Scum kill The first two are accounted for. The Masons are not responsible for Texcat or gnarlycharlie, so that leaves Astral, or they were blocked. Lightfoot targeted gnarly, and I was informed that she was redirected on Night2, so I think I would have been informed if she was blocked Night 3. I wasn’t, therefore she is responsible for gnarly’s death. That leaves brewha and the ‘normal’ Scum kill, and only one more dead person, that being TexCat. So I’m guessing that someone on the Scum team was blocked last Night. If not, both of their kills went through and the Mason kill was blocked. In any case, brewha is gone, the Masons are gone, and Pizza is gone, so there should be only 2 deaths Tonight (the Scum kill, and LightFoot). And yes, I’m assuming that LightFoot has not been the ‘designated killer’ for the Wolves the past 3 Nights. ---

**See, here’s my real role:** > [@](#): > > Idle Thoughts, you are a **Traitor**. Each night beginning Night One, you can target one person. That person will then be told the alignment of a real Wolf. You are a Wolf. You win either by achieving parity with the village and eliminating any other threats or by convincing the Townspeople you are a Traitor and them allowing you to be on their side. Seriously now. Or may Mod strike me dead. 100 percent truth or I’ll never play another game of mafia in my life. ---

I wanted to get it out there. \*\* gnarly \*\* is the only one that was shot. I find it curious. So far the only “results of my actions” Is that they are dead the next day. I will now treat me like a killer I suppose. But I imagine we’ll read my obit toMorrow anyway (Unless Scum think I’m helpfull to them given my track record) Why does big stuff happen when I’m at work ---

On Night 0 and 1 targeted myself (stupidly). Night 2, I targeted Ask the Pizza Guy. On Night 3, I targeted fellow scum Episkey. I didn’t get any results on any of the Nights (I was told that I got no apparent result on all of them), and only found out what I was last Night (when the role came as an “other message”----so that means SOMEONE out there targetted me). But all of my targets (other than myself), got messages that real wolves were scum, so my role must be true. Again, no more playing mafia for me if I’m lying. I’m trying to HELP you guys. ---

Regarding my Post 3824, instead of either the Mason or Scum kill having to have been “blocked”, it would be more correct to say that “one of them must have been blocked, or their target must have been protected”. ---

Anyway, therein lies the bastardness with my role… I could say all day that the last wolves are NAF, Pwnsall, Episkey and Septimus and you wouldn’t believe me, but it would fit in with my role. Fat chance it does me, though, because I need to apparently get you all to let me “be on your side”. I have no freaking idea what that means or how it’s supposed to be confirmed, though. Just in the dark over it as anyone would be. I’d understand (and expect) not being believed, though. ---

> [@Suburban\_Plankton](#): > > Only if Ed is allowed to speak on behalf of the entire Town. > > I applaud you on your effort, though. I was thanking ONE person for actually giving me the benefit of the doubt. 😛 But seriously: I have nothing to lose so why would I say: “Okay allow me to be on your side so I can get that wincon AND still kill me toDay if it makes you feel better”? Because that would achieve nothing. ---

> [@special\_ed](#): > > oh, wait! The joke’s on you! You said I was 3rd party!! > > hahaha, you lose. \ I know that. You know that. Do you think anyone else will believe that? So since you’d obviously say you’re Town, I’m hoping it would work (again, I have no idea what “allowing them to be on your side” means or what it would have to entail). So really, no, no joke on anyone. Nobody is going to believe me about you so you’re basically Town to everyone (but me and the scum—but the scum will all take your word anyway as to not give themselves away). No matter. I’ve given you all the scum too. ---
