On two occasions i have recieved a role PM with my name. I think I was targeted by the town psycologist one one night I recieved the role PM for special Ed - but the town psycologist role PM revealed on death does not indicate anything to suggest that they would tell the worng role. So either there is some aspect of my role that causes the role PMs to go wonky , or someone is interfering. Don’t know why i recieved a role PM before when I was not targeted by the psycologist. From what Scathach said in the past - he did not say he received his full role PM - just a PM saying he was teh poisioner and his actions had been amended Scathach was also targeted by the known wolf role blocker - so unless it was some suicidal plan to try and clear scath, i think that clears him. Giraffe - did you ever receiev a role PM? What’s Normal Phases claim to town aligned? ---

Admitedly I find Scath targeting of Drain quite odd Scath - did you feel anything last night? ---

> [@Precambrianmollusc](#): > > Scathach was also targeted by the known wolf role blocker - so unless it was some suicidal plan to try and clear scath, i think that clears him. Um, why? Scath claimed to be blocked on the Night that J.D. died, right? If he’s the Town role he claimed, that makes sense. But it could also make sense if he’s a Wolf who wants an extra Townie death, or if he’s not what he claimed – let’s say he’s an actual Poisoner, not a half Poisoner/half Apothecary. Obviously, if he poisons someone every night, the gig is up. It does give him a bit of Townie cred, but it hardly clears him. > [@](#): > > Giraffe - did you ever receiev a role PM? No, I haven’t.

N8 - Septimus targets… N8 - Special ed targets … N8 - Drain bead - well guess we will never know because N8 - Scathhach targets Drain (well drain was killed as well) N8 - Donk … N8 - Silver Jan… N8 - suburba … N8 - Normal Phase… I agree septimus would have been foolish to give the result he did and scum - but it was a high risk situation 0 tehy could have gotton a myslynce on Lilflower which would have helped them whilst possibly keeping up the pretence that EpiSki was town but insane (reverse result) and marginally risking a possible scummy Septimus ---

This comes from way back on Day 5: > [@Normal\_Phase](#): > > I think this role is in the game. There’s what PCM said earlier about the apothecary thing, and I no longer think the message I got last night is likely to be true. > > (It said I was a roleblocker. I did target Idle night two, which matches if he was telling the truth about that. But no one I’ve targeted since has said anything about being blocked today (or earlier), and two people have claimed blocks today who I did not target. So I’m thinking that’s wrong.) **Normal** , did the message you receive include the Roleblocker’s full role and Alignment? If so, what alignment was in the role? ---

If so, what alignment was in the role? Village. My claims to villageriness – my votes against brewha and Blaster Master early on. Beyond that not a whole heck of a lot. Except I didn’t kill Ed. 🙂 I’ve been busy today (kiddo’s first day of school, job interview OMG), but I’ll try to carve out some time tomorrow. Also I targeted scathach last night. ---

Is is possible buftabby’s warm glow redirects scum kills? Because I still don’t understand why scum targeted DrainBead. ---
