As most of the people in the strange little town slept, the structures levitated, shook and moved, until they crossed 2 time zones.

Anyway:

Morning breaks. The dead are tallied:

**amrussell, Ordinary Wife (Vanilla Town)**  
**peekercpa, the Field Medic (Doc-in-Training/Backup Doc)**

Day. Leader is chosen at 11:23 EST tomorrow, October 16.

Well, there’s one piece of good news in there: It looks like our extra killer is probably a Vigilante, not a Serial Killer, since I would have expected that an SK would want to kill one of the (semi-) confirmed Townies. E’s still hurting Town, but at least e’s not trying to.

Speaking of (semi-)confirmed Townies, I think that there’s a pretty strong argument now for **Gryff** being Town, between demonstrating some of his powers, and the whole berynium thing.

**Is Gryff eligible to be Leader toDay?**

On the assumption that the answer is yes,

**Elect Gryff**

Is this also further evidence that \*\*texcat’s \*\*death on Night 1 was the result of a botched recruitment?

**Elect Alka Seltzer**

**Elect Alka Seltzer** who I think is slightly less confirmed than Gryph, but also has been more consistently active & thus seems more likely to be able to end the day at a good time.

Waiting on Drain Bead’s report.

</div>

Only two kills. Since chances are that **peeker** self protected but was roleblocked, and that there aren’t anymore protective roles, then there probably wasn’t a blocked kill last Night. Also, I agree with **Chronos** ’s guess that the extra kills come from a (most likely compulsary) Vig.

Ah, I forgot about roleblockers. Maybe there is an SK but s/he was blocked.

Anyway, as much as I hate the idea of a Tax Collector running things, I can’t argue that **Alka** is both active and likely Town.  
**Elect Alka** , on the condition the mods don’t start the clock when I vote. 🙂

Forgot about that.

Neither Gryff nor OaOW are allowed to be elected, and Gryff has one phantom lynch vote on him as well.
