Sorry, that’s probably damn close to game talk. Who wants a drink? I just found out that the theater department at the school I am going to so I can get my teaching credential is having a mandatory meeting tomorrow at 3:30. Why does this effect me you may ask? Because I am getting certified to be a drama teacher (don’t ask, not my idea I wanted to teach history. New Jersey had other plans) I am technically a theater student not an education student. I find this out today, about 10 minutes ago and now need a babysitter for tomorrow. ---

Yes, you with your ridiculously high salaries and benefits. The anti-intellectualism in our current society makes me sick. I can understand frustration with the educational system, but teachers should not be the target of disdain. ---

> [@special\_ed](#): > > Goodness, don’t be a teacher. We’re the cause of all that is wrong with society. it’s all our fault. Oh, and we caused the recession too. I know. I want in on that action. I know me, I won’t be part of the solution. I figure I might as well be part of the problem. I moved to new jersey and thought to myself, how can I, one of the faceless masses, hurt Governor Christie? Even only a little. Then it hit me, become a teacher in his state! Worse, an arts teacher. That will show him. ---

are all teachers required to be paid the same amount? i assume that’s why there aren’t enough math and science teachers while apparently hard to get teaching jobs in other fields also all the best teachers i had growing up were young, all the older ones sucked and were lazy ---

**NIGHT FIVE RESULTS** A bloodless day is followed by a somewhat bloody night. Zeriel is found slumped over his desk, a stack of old PI novels cluttering the bookshelves behind him. Zeriel is dead. Zeriel, you are a **Detective**. Each night beginning Night One, you investigate a target to learn their full role. You are a **Villager**. You win when all threats to Town Village have been eliminated. “Man, I knew that guy was a detective,” pwnsall said. “I tried to tell you all earlier. And another thing—” Before he can say any more, a car backfires nearby. _ **pwnsall has been shot!** _ pwnsall is dead. pwnsall, you are a **Headhunter**. Each night beginning Night One, you investigate a target to learn the name of their role (but not their alignment). You are a **Villager**. You win when all threats to Town Village have been eliminated. _ **Drain Bead has been cured.** _ **DAY SIX HAS DAWNED.** Night will fall on Friday evening at 5 pm EDT.
