I could have sworn there was one game where I decided that I wanted to play with a high noise, so I was spamming the thread with “BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!” ---

I could have sworn there was one game where I decided that I wanted to play with a high noise, so I was spamming the thread with “BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!” I think so too. But I don’t remember the game anymore. I remember the BLAM BLAM BLAM though. ---

I’m near Fairfax. I remember a small Dopefest a few years back in DC; the only person I remember from that was **Misnomer**. And PM received. Understanding it will wait for Dawn. ---

I’m near Fairfax as well, though never felt inclined to attend a dopefest since I don’t feel particularly attached to the general doper community only smaller subsets. ---

Well at this rate I am going to miss the start of the Day. I don’t really have time to post on weekends much at all so, unless Day starts soon I probably am gone until Monday for the most part (assuming I have survived). ---

**NIGHT ONE RESULTS** The people of Town Village flailed about last night like a puppy in a paper bag. Some stuff happened as a result. One locus of activity was Mahaloth’s neighborhood watering hole. He was targeted multiple times, but once was enough. _ **Mahaloth has been poisoned!** __ **Mahaloth has been shot!** _ Mahaloth is dead. Mahaloth, you are a **Tracker**. Each night beginning Night One, you select a target. You will learn who your target visited during the night. You are a **Wolf**. You win by achieving parity with the village and eliminating any other threats. Two more deaths followed. GuiriEnEspaña is dead. GuiriEnEspaña, you are a **Vigilante**. Each night beginning Night One, you select a target to kill. You are a **Villager**. You win when all threats to Town Village have been eliminated. Silman is dead. Silman, you are a **Journalist**. Each night beginning Night One, you select a target. You will learn if your target’s night action has been changed, redirected, or blocked. You will also overhear any messages sent to your target. Peeks do not count as messages. You are a **Villager**. You win when all threats to Town Village have been eliminated. Perhaps not enough carnage to satisfy the most bloodthirsty among you, but get over it, I say! **DAY TWO HAS DAWNED.** Night will fall on Tuesday at 3 pm EDT. ---

Well, one wolf down is good…but the loss of the Vig is a bummer. Or a Vig, if there’s more than one. Never heard of a Journalist role before, is that common? ---

Also, Dancecat really is a Villager, apparently. Someone must have targeted me in telling me this info (unless everyone got it). It didn’t have anything to do with my Night action since it yielded no result. ---

Sounds like a really strong tracker to me, **idle**. ---
