Also, the “mafia” cop said someone was innocent. Bad move. We can guaranteed hit a scumbag now. ---

Drain, Don’t waste your breathe on this. Jan did not target Charlie. She is not confirmed as a cop of any variety. ---

\*\*Everyone \*\*please examine **TexCat, DanceCat, Silver Jan, and Blaster.** One of these four is guilty. We can still save this round, help me figure out which one it is. ---

Let’s say the oracle thing is happening and that it IS with those five roles…that would mean that **Weedy** ’s result is most likely from the sane oracle, whereas **Silver Jan** ’s could be from the insane one or the paranoid one. I know I’m Town, so mine isn’t scummy, that divides up \*\*Giraffe \*\*and **Scuba** ’s reads from the naive OR paranoid OR insane (depending on which one Jan’s got and which one mine isn’t) and my read between the naive OR paranoid OR insane one (depending on which one **Jan** got and which one the non-scummy **Giraffe** or **Scuba** got) I sure hope that all made sense because it BARELY made sense to me and I’m the one who wrote it. It could all be redundant, though, if it’s not the case. ---

**unvote all** **vote: texCat** for now. I don’t trust the mason claim, and lynching TexCat will yield useful information both on the other 3 (all likely innocent if she’s guilty) and her claimed mason partner (50% chance they’re guilty if she is) All aboard the TexCat wagon!

Idle, I didn’t think that you targeted Jan. Did you? If not, your result, regardless of your affiliation has nothing to do with your result and could be true or false? Just as I assume that Jan’s result does not have to do with her affiliation. ---

> [@Askthepizzaguy](#): > > \*\*Everyone \*\*please examine **TexCat, DanceCat, Silver Jan, and Blaster.** > > One of these four is guilty. We can still save this round, help me figure out which one it is. Well, I think we can cross **Texcat** off that list, as she’s claimed Mason and **Weedy** (if **Weedy** is to be believed) got the message he was a Mason last night. Since **Texcat** couldn’t have known Weedy got that (if **Texcat** is to be believed)…I’d say that pretty much shows that **Texcat** is a mason. And (again, IF we’re going by the five oracle’s assumption), we can probably deduce that **Jan** is telling the truth. **Jan** ’s read was either from the Insane or Paranoid cop, since a wolf cop would probably lie about their fellow scum’s results and say they were Town, not wolf. So the fact that she’s giving a result of wolf would mean she could be crossed off. ---

So what happened to the results from the Night actions of Jan, Weedy, et al? Or did all if you also get a PM with another result? (I’m not asking anyone to claim what they did or what result they got.) ---

Sorry for cutting that off. Posting from iPad, lost cursor, couldn’t get it back. So. Charlie is Scum: –Jan and Scuba are Town. Tex is Scum. Charlie is Town: –Tex is Town. We don’t know, but suspect Jan and Scuba. Again, I think we get more info from a Jan lynch, and it’s clear that we have either lying or untrustworthy info from her or Tex/Charlie. Killing her will tell us which that is, while killing Charlie won’t necessarily do so. **unvote gnarlycharlie vote Silver Jan** I’m drunk and open to suggestion, though. ---

Sorry, I keep thinking Texcat is male and I’m mixing pronouns :smack: The above SHOULD read: Well, I think we can cross Texcat off that list, as she’s claimed Mason and Weedy (if Weedy is to be believed) got the message **she** was a Mason last night. Since Texcat couldn’t have known Weedy got that (if Texcat is to be believed)…I’d say that pretty much shows that Texcat is a mason. ---
