Votes flying willy-nilly with no reasons attached to them, people debating whether to lynch a claimed Mason in a game known to have Masons, people attracting suspicion for being the first to vote in a Day… We’ve come a long way. ## Sounds like a game I could handle.

I think we all should take a moment to mourn the severe lack of randomness in this game. **storyteller0910** (**Detective Chief Superintendent (Fictional)**) is dead. **Freudian Slit** (**Greek (Fictional)**) is dead. ---

Oh, I guess we’re not waiting. Well, we have two deaths. Since we don’t have any third parties, that’s probably the Scum and a Vig. **Storyteller** ’s seems to fit the pattern of “strong player killed” we saw last Night, and “second place in the vote total” is a common choice for Vig targets, so I’m guessing that **Freudian** was the Vig-kill. There is one piece of good news in this: Since we know know (or at least strongly suspect) that there’s a Vigilante in the game, that person can, when e thinks it appropriate, claim to confirm emself. ---

Well, Detective Chief Superintendent sure sounds pretty suggestive, doesn’t it; no wonder it doesn’t match his claim. Eesh. Well, I was the only person to have multiple votes on me during the run-up to the lynch who isn’t currently dead, which means that I should probably leave the vote analysis to somebody else. For what it’s worth, I was first in on **OaOW** , followed by **Freudian** , followed by a fairly long silence, and **Rysto** and **Meeko** were first in on **Freudian** , both in response to her vote on the latter. ---

Ah, too late again, and inaccurate to boot. **Oredigger** didn’t say the full name in his vote and I missed it. So for **Wanderers** it was me, then **Oredigger** , then \*\*Freudian, then the gap. ---

I suppose with a character having the profession of “Detective Chief Superintendent” **Story** was hesitant to claim honestly as he’d have been a likely target for a scum night-kill. He was the last (or penultimate?) to claim so I guess when he saw there were no obvious doctors or vigilantes he thought a fake claim was the safest option. Of course, now we’ve no idea if he actually was our detective or not… On preview, what **Jimmy** said: “Eesh”, but in more words. ---

:smack: Apparently I’m not fully awake yet, since I completely failed to notice that **storyteller** ’s death reveal included a “real” Mafia role. I guess I was just thinking of the “roles” as meaningless, and didn’t even bother reading it. Losing a Detective before he had a chance to tell us anything hurts. Of course, now I’m really wondering what, precisely, **storyteller** ’s PM said. Was he really given the name “Baldrick”, or was he Clousseau or some such? Did he have the “role” “servant” in addition to detective? Did he have the random information and then his game powers, or just the game powers? ---

I looked at his first couple of Day Two posts. Nothing stands out. He defended Freudian at one point and then said that another post pinged him. He did develop a case against Mahaloth, but it was completely based on Mahaloth’s Day Two actions.
