As the days grew longer and the ice melted, the denizens of Cecil Pond grew more active. Well, most of them did, anyway. **special ed** didn’t grow more active at all, having starved over the winter. Resources are harder to come by lately. As the denizens gathered around his remains, oddities became apparent in his cell structure, as though he was not evolved to survive alone. **special ed, a Communal Organism, is dead** But although the Winter was a harsh one for ed, it was clearly not so for all species. The Scum have reproduced. There is now one Spawn in the Pond. Summer 2 starts now, and will end on Thursday at 1:00 MST. Strategy discussion may resume.

Thanks Drain I must have just gotten confused I was thinking 1 central instead of 1 mountain. Sorry to lose you Ed. I guess Rysto is probably right but I don’t think that hurts us too badly as long as we’ve still got a couple of masons left, who should not come forward unless they are on the lyse block. I was thinking that I don’t know what to make of the Peeker and Scuba wagons from yesterDay with Peeker coming up town I think there’s a good possibility of both being scum motivated. I didn’t see any overt scum actions pushing either wagon but with nothing else standing out I think that’s a good starting place. I don’t have my spreadsheet infront of me but with losing two pondies there is a greater chance of the spawn voting for scum but there is no increase of them screwing up the scum’s night. So their actions are probably not more then 25-30% town. That being said as of right now I don’t see that we’re likely to have two people with more then 75-80% suspicion of being scum so **Vote Spawn** ---

Well, the good news is the rest of you are spared a math-rant. “Communal Organism” could mean lots of things in my estimation. I’m a bit worried about the speculation about it though. I don’t think that significant good can come from public guessing, and speculation seems like a rapid way to give additional information to scum. As for storyteller, I offer my apologies. I’m not yet sure if they are warranted, but if they are, I’m sorry. I get overly hopped up sometimes. I never mean to be insulting, but sometimes I am. I’m sorry for hurting your feelings (if you’re not, you know, lying about your feelings being hurt). ---
