**Scuba\_Ben** , have you told us who you targeted, on any Night? I’m trying to put together a picture of “who did what to whom, when”, and I have several question marks next to your name that I wish were filled in with names. I’m not asking you for a claim now, because I think we have enough information at this point to get us through until Dawn, but if you did name your targets at some point already I’d appreciate it if you’d repeat yourself. On a similar vein, do we have confirmation that **Drain Bead’s** power was doubled last Night by way of \*\*Ed’s \*\*visit? ---

I am putting credence in the logic that indicates you are the power booster. I am not trusting the outed Scum on anything. But you do have to admit, Ed, that third parties are a possibility. Idle has said the following since e got outed: - Idle is Scum/Traitor. - The other Scum are NAF, Episkey, Pwnsall, and septimus. - Ed is a third party. I will accept Idle as winning with Town should all three of those statements be confirmed as complete and correct, along with everything else e’s said since e got caught. If we have a remaining investigator (sideways glance at the possible Mystic) examining Ed could be useful. ---

I said on D2 that I had targeted **gnarlycharlie** on N1. I’ll have to check my notes for post numbers. I have not named my other targets. ---

Which I mistakenly marked down under ‘septimus’ (the next name in alphabetical order). I certainly hope I haven’t made too many of the same sort of mistake. This game is hard enough to follow without me misleading myself. ---

> [@Suburban\_Plankton](#): > > bufftabby, I can’t tell if you are referring to yourself in the 3rd-person here, or if you are quoting someone else and botched the coding. Are you saying you targeted yourself on Night 2? Yes, I am again saying that I targeted myself Night 2, and felt a warm glow. > [@special\_ed](#): > > With bufftabby mum, I’m left to assume that I didn’t actually have my power on N2. Which leads me to believe that peeker did not have his power on N!, and lilflower and Normal Phase might be powerless toNight. Not completely mum, I said I targeted myself Night 2 and was informed of the warm glow. That’s all I know about Night 2. **Idle** is clearly scum at this point, and I don’t put any value in what he says. It could be mostly true, it could be mostly false. It doesn’t really matter, because there’s no way to discern the difference (save when his claims are contradictory, of course). Meh to everything he has to say at this point. Something about **lilflower** ’s game reminds me of her as scum, though I can’t articulate why, exactly. **vote lilflower** This obviously doesn’t affect the lynch, but what would? I know I haven’t contributed much since I went back to work, but things should ease up for me after this first week of school (where I work) ends. I figure as long as I’m least I’m voting and targeting and answering questions, I’m not completely useless. ---

> [@DonkTimesFour](#): > > we should get a 2nd wagon going in case of shenanigans What, you mean like somehow I’m NOT the one hanging toDay? :rolleyes: Seriously, you really think there’s any chance of that happening? So why, then, are you caring about getting a second bandwagon going? If I didn’t know you were already Town, I’d say you were scum.\* \*And If I were still thought to be Town, I’d make the case you were scum for this post. ---

Course, then we’d have a time paradox going on, because one could say if I were still thought to be Town, there’d be no reason you’d ever make that sort of post. I think I hurt my own brain… ---

> [@LightFoot](#): > > It was not on your list? > > What did I do this time? > computer time fail must log off Ed is a third party. Probably malicious since there are obviously malicious third-parties in this game (otherwise why would the Town PM read “and any other threats against Town”?). I’d say he was trying to set you up for a reason to vote against you later. Vote Ed off, people! It’s for your own good! ---
