NAF was supposed to be using my and lilflower’s powers last night, but there was no doubling of the shooting. Unless something’s going on that I don’t understand the shooter should not be him (or either of us).

I’m responsible for Lightfoot’s death, alas. Why she didn’t say she was a Mason, I’ll never know. ☹

I feel sick, safe, and got a message that Ed is Town.

Was not expecting to get poisoned. If you are capable of healing it, please do so toNight.

I will withhold my other target until I hear what that person has to say.

I received one today. I believe I was redirected, which would make my theory of yesterday that Gnarlys message was rebounded to me when he died. Its also why I dont believe pwnsall received it.

According to my notes, in #1812 Weedy claimed a message that TexCat was Town/Mason. I don’t have any other entries for messages e received.

In 3631, I claimed a message about Weedy, now known to be accurate.

AOP @ Episkey: What message did you receive?

and @ Drain Bead: Welcome back, how’s the trial going? Thanks for the message info.

I got a message about myself. It’s plausible based on what I know, but I want to wait for a few people to check in before revealing.

Also…how are you responsible? I thought you were a reflector?

Ok, I am still awake and at the moment I think I can soft clear Scuba Ben. It might have been my fault! Sorry ☹

Crap, another poisoner?

I got no apparent result again, just waiting to see what SP has to say.

That’s what she’s saying, that she reflected LF back on herself. But LF doesn’t appear to have been the shooter.

More from my notes on messages:

- #2980, PizzaGuy got a message that NAF is a Wolf.
- #3721, Idle (outed as Scum, I believe in that post) claims an investigation on NAF as Town.

AOP @ Episkey: That’s consistent with PizzaGuy’s message. But we know from N1’s messages that there may be an Insane / Paranoid / Lying Bastard message source.

Wait, why doesn’t it appear she was the shooter?

Good evening Jan!

Why do you think you can soft-clear me? Every bit of info helps.

And what do you think might have been your fault and why?

I thought she was a Mason and she denied it, just don’t kill off the other one ☹

I am 100% sure I’m insane now for every single reason I’ve stated thus far in addition to getting a false message of myself. Pwnsall should be able to confirm he received no message, and someone should be able to claim they targeted me and be realized as redirector.

OK, That might make sense, or maybe not I’m not sure.

When \*\*gnarly \*\*and \*\*Tex \*\*found each other, they gained a Mason Night kill. But if they never found **LightFoot** , then she wouldn’t have been part of the Masonry yet, so she wouldn’t have inherited the Kill after they were killed. But everybody she targeted (or was redirected to) wound up dead. That’s too much of a conincidence, isn’t it?

Read the write-up, SP; her mason power is described as a protection.
