Hey, tobacco leaves are green before they’re dried, cut, and rolled, aren’t they?

My darling bride doesn’t care for steamed vegetables. I have trouble doing cooked-vegetable dishes so I make steamed veggies a lot. Slight logistics issue here.

I have 15 minutes before I go out for the night. I might have 3g on the train into the city, so MAYBE I can check in on the Dawn, but it would really be much more comfortable for me to do at home.

**NIGHT FOUR RESULTS**

Another busy night in Town Village.

By LightFoot’s own admission, she had visited three people in the past who had turned up dead shortly thereafter. This time, the body would be hers.

_ **LightFoot has been shot!** _

LightFoot is dead.

LightFoot, you are a **Mason**. Each night beginning Night One, you search for your fellow mason. Should you be successful, the two of you will be informed. You will then gain 24-hour chat privileges and must choose a target to protect each night. You are a **Villager**. You win when all threats to Town Village have been eliminated.

Weedy was unsurprised when they came for her. Perhaps because the death of Astral Rejection made her own fate clear; perhaps through some uncanny divination.

Weedy is dead.

Weedy, you are a **Mystic**. Each night beginning Night One, you select a target. One of your fellow Mystics will learn your target’s full role, while you will learn the full role of a player targeted by one of your fellow Mystics. You are a **Villager**. You win when all threats to Town Village have been eliminated.

_ **Drain Bead has been poisoned!** _

**DAY FIVE HAS DAWNED.** Night will fall on Monday evening at 8 pm EDT.

That’s surprising.

I visited LightFoot last Night.

Hark! A cryptic message from beyond the grave! 🙂

By the by, my visitation yielded no apparent result so I am guessing I am not responsible for that death.

Also, poisoner huh?

Weedy was too obvious a target. ☹

LightFoot – in my opinion, what did e do to draw attention?

And what’s this with another poisoner? Another back-up role?

I support the idea Yesterday of a mass claim of targets. Who do we trust to make a random order?

AOP @ NAF: Who did you target the previous Night? AOP2: Maybe this doesn’t matter, but unless a killing role says otherwise I wouldn’t trust “no apparent result” quite yet.

Also, does anybody have a master list of claimed roles?

Pwnsall, I targeted you but have reason to believe you received no message. Am I correct?

Well, apparently just about everything I thought I knew was wrong. 😕

Where’s that drawing board?

Following up on Episkey’s post, it’ll be interesting to learn who received what message. Then we can start our Daily discussion of which messages to believe and which to discredit.
