I hoped to have a case against **OaOW** based on his investigations but, while not optimally used, there’s some logic behind his choices. He didn’t have a vote down at the end of Days 1 and 2 which may indicate an attempt to avoid leaving a trail to be analyzed. I’m going to vote based on the gap in the color. We’ve had the wounded soldier, the human-like one, even the teddy bear. As no-one else was ineligible for leader, **OaOW** must be the only child here and so must be the missing screamer… Model 1 - Human-sensing Robot (back-up investigator?) - **CIAS** - promoted to Model 5? Model 2 - Wounded Soldier (Roleblocker) - **Chronos** Model 3 - Small Child (???) Model 4 - Teddy Bear (Hider) - **Tilta** Model 5 - Almost Human (Investigator) - **Jimmy** **Vote One and Only Wanderers** ---

I’m OK with this lynch. **vote: OAOW** Back with more this afternoon. ---

I’ll throw down a vote in an hour or so. ---

**vote OneandOnly** Because he shouldn’t still be alive; because (aside from Boozy) he chose four people who had already claimed or soft-claimed vanilla for his investigations (and I find it particularly odd that he chose to investigate **Oredigger** rather than **tiltawhirl** the Night before last); because of the color, although I’m a little worried that the mods could be playing against our expectations on that last count; and because even if he flips Town, at least we’ll have some way to plan for the last Day or two. ---

And because neither I nor anyone else apparently has a solid case for anyone else. ---

Since my box idea won’t work, maybe we should spend the last few hours of the Day discussing what to do if there’s a tomorrow. ---

It all depends on how OaOW flips, doesn’t it? If he turns out to be a scum with extra night-kills, then we’re looking for one more scum, probably. If he turns out to be a vanilla or vanilla-ish scum, then we’re looking for a SK. If he flips Town then we’ve got problems. OaOW as bonus-night-kill scum -\> probably Guiri or Diver OaOW as normal scum -\> Guiri looks like the best place to start OaOW as town -\> an AllWalker/Normal double suicide might be in order; otherwise I’m not sure. ---

☹ @ Pedescribe. Get well soon. I hate being sick! I have some ideas on our best approach if OAOW flips Town, but I’m not going to try to figure it all out at this point. Hopefully it doesn’t happen. ---

Though the past couple days were filled with indecision and confusion, things were much clearer today. OneandOnlyWanderers had to die. His investigations were fraught with holes, and even if he was town, he would confirm others. Win-win! By now the group had gotten so used to the procedure that they could just chuck him in the machine without struggle. And once it had finished, testing revealed that, indeed, OaOW was a killer robot, in the form of a small child to fool people. Well, he wouldn’t be fooling anyone anymore! **OaOW, the Model 3 (Screamer Priest), is dead.** Night 7! Day 8 starts at 11:00 EST on Friday, November 20. \*A priest cannot vote for a person if that vote would hammer (for games with Days that end by threshold). In this game, he simply couldn’t be elected leader.
