FWIW I targeted NAf on N6 and recieved notification that my action didnt have any effect, I put this down to Buffs targeting of Naf So Buff could A) Block others actions affecting her target, but not affect the actions of the target. B) Block others actions afecting her target and stop her target carrying out their actions. - This is what our beat cop did right? protected and prevented. Not to say that there isn;t a scum beat cop type role to proetct scum players- mind you they already had a doctor - C) Role block - stop the target carrying out their actions, but not stop others carrying out actions on her target - we have seen one scum roleblocker (lighterfeet) and from normal know that there is a town role blocker. This would be consitent with you seeing someone go to their target then turn around which I recall you saying once. Who did you watch and does that tie up with any of targets SJ has said - or even a probaly lying scum lighterfeet ? Not sure if action blocking also relates to killing prevention, ---

Ok found it - Sangamans role PM when he was lynched (as revealed by GAD on the lynch revealleast someone think I need Mod killing for role PM posting) Sangaman, you are a Doctor. Each night beginning Night One, you select a target. Your target will be protected from night kills during that night. You are a Wolf. You win by achieving parity with the village and eliminating any other threats. So protection against kills form a doctor is different to blocking And my bad on the beat cop - Inner only would have stopped night killing actions of their target and prevented their target from being killed. Inner Stickler, you are a Beat Cop. Each night beginning Night One, you investigate your target to learn their alignment. You also prevent your target from carrying out, or being the victim of, any killing night actions that night. You are a Villager. You win when all threats to Town Village have been eliminated. ---

I understand why I’m getting votes, but if you look at my voting history (and my predecessor’s voting history) I think it shows that I’m village. I guess you want targets from me. I have absolutely no clue what I do, if I did, I’d tell you, nothing really has happened as far as I can tell to the people I target. It reminds me of the game in POG never had a clue what my role was until I was lynched. N0 - mykbot N1 - Mahaloth N2 - Precambrianmollusc N3 - Scathach N4 - Pwnsall N5 - normal phase N6 - Drain Bead N7 - giraffe Last night I got roleblocked, I assume by a villager as the wolf roleblocker is dead. I targetted myself just to see if i could figure out what I do. I have been packing the last two days and am moving tomorrow, there is a decent chance I won’t have internet at the new place yet so I may have to be away (yeah I know, suprise suprise) we’ll see… I am annoyed that I can’t be here to defend myself but I had all the time in the world I guess and I didn’t take it so… ---

Alas Annual Operating Plan time, frankly I’d rather stab my eyes out with blunt pencils, but it is what it is. Can;t make much sense of DK4 effects - but it may warrent lynching Giraffe until we can work it out. Any idea when day ends? ---

> [@Precambrianmollusc](#): > > Can;t make much sense of DK4 effects - but it may warrent lynching Giraffe until we can work it out. I’ve had vague suspicions of the long-necked one for several Days and would be amenable to moving my vote if someone posts a synopsis of the case against him. But I’ve also been suspicious of Scathach, so the sudden focus on giraffe smells a bit fishy. Normal Phase usually provides helpful scum-hunting guidance, but I’m afraid she’s playing for the other team this game. (… enough smudging for now, I think …) ---

So **special ed** targeted himself on Night 7, meaning that he had 2 targets on Night 8. That means that we should have 2 people who will have 2 targets Tonight (unless one of ed’s targets was\*\* Drain Bead\*\*), yet \*nobody \*has announced that they have an extra target Tonight. What gives? ---
