I was thinking the item I gave you was a re-director type object, but obviously you had other thoughts.

Err… if you’re talking to me, the item you gave me was not a redirector object. And I don’t have much to share with the class, other than that I’ll be a better leader this time in terms of day starting and ending.

I still have scummy vibes from Normal Phase, and a bit from Guiri.I’m starting to lean town on Scuddy. tiltawhirl and the two divers are total blanks to me.

My item was a nametag. I could either put a name on it and give it to another person, or pass it along blank. It only had enough goo on it to stick it once.

I put **USCDiver** ’s name on it and gave it to **Boozy**. I thought since it said “Hello, my name is \_\_\_\_\_,” it would perhaps give the recipient information about the person written on it. The other thing I thought was that maybe it would direct any action targeted on **Boozy** at **USCDiver** , but he seems to have ruled that out.

Do with this info what you will.

No, I was referring to **drain bead** ’s item. I think yours is fairly self explanatory

I suppose it’s better to give a vibe of some sort than absolutely nothing after over 30 days in the game. I will work to clear any remaining doubts and continue to help fellow townies find the remaining scum.

@ **Boozy** Is this a sort of trust list? Do you feel all the others ( **AllWalker, Drain, Gryff, OaOW and Digger** ) are Town?

Does anyone have any suggestions on where we go from here? Mass claims? Apparently I’ve already claimed VT. Trust lists? I think I trust **Tom** (although it’s not mutual) and get a town vibe from the remaining bling-blings and a few others. LtL? **Tilta** ’s gone very quiet again and hasn’t voted for a leader in 2 Days. More info from **OaOW**? Maybe it’s time to hear something else about his role.

Anyone got any hot leads on who’s scum? Any reactions to the gifts that were handed out?

For his posts during the **Alka/CIAS** standoff

**Vote Scuba\_Ben**

At least if/when he turns up scum I’ll get bonus points for perseverance!

Glad to be back from the weekend. And oh boy, **Guiri** ’s going after me.

I got suckered by CIAS and am very glad that several people handed clues to me during that.

I find Guiri’s perseverance… annoying. Anything beyond that might reek of OMGUS-ism.

Given my schedule for the next few days, I’m unlikely to be able to play much; I’ll have to squeeze time out on the job. So to share what info I have, as I see no reason for me to sit on anything:

I am a **Citizen** and a **bureaucrat**. As such, I have the special ability to –

– to do absolutely nothing. I am **Vanilla Town.** And yes, I know this is one of the weakest possible role claims.

I have received no items, or indeed any overnight PMs.

**Boozy** , could you explain where you’re getting the scummy vibes on Normal? Do you think she bussed **Chronos**?

I’ve been away from the game for a bit; I’ll try to take a look at my top 4 (Diver, tilt, Gueri, ben) early next week. For now, I’ll

**vote USCDiver**

'cause though none of them has exactly given me a ton of either pro- or anti-town vibes, he’s the closest.

Tom, can you elaborate a little bit on why you’re voting for me? I’d like a chance to refute and evidence you have. If it’s just a gut-feeling, then there isn’t much I can do.

I’m kinda inclined towards tilt, largely because I don’t recall much action from em.

**Vote Tilt** for now.
