Yes, the whole “1” in Rysto’s PM is not a big deal as far as I see it.

Does anyone else find it weird that AllWalker’s PM does not end with the phrase:

**You are Town.**

I know different wording was allowed for different PMs, but I thought pretty much all town PMs have ended with that phrase.

On the topic of Allwalker:

\*\*If He is Sinner Bulletproof, shouldn’t he have told us on Day 1?

We still have the clause that, the last to vote for someone who is lynched becomes sinfected, right?

Shouldn’t we have gotten him to be the last vote for the day, PERIOD?!  
\*\*

So, obviously, it would have been helpful, if we could have know this on the first day, and we could have brought Allwalker into our thoughts more (That is, we could have KNOWN to talk TO allwalker, while in public.)

This is what I meant to say, when I was asking about why it wasn’t mentioned.

I Was thinking about it, and I Was like, damn, thats what I meant to say.

No. No. No.

Why should I have claimed on Day 1? Are you serious?

And, you might have read that post where Ped talked really big, and mentioned that we ostracize? Not execute?

Yep. Every power role should have claimed Day 1. :roll:

That we had a Sinner Bulletproof among us?

YES.

Or are you saying, that it was Pro-town of you, to KNOWINGLY let town get sinfected?

**That guy over there is going to get sinfected. Damn, I wish I could do something, Nope, guess not, we’re boned.**

Okay. For one thing, that is stupid. I could have broadcast the results of my first investigation. Why didn’t I? Because, well, look at what happened to **paul 1**

Second point, I let sinfection happen? So what am I, Sinner or Blackheart?

Get back to me when you have a consistent theory.

I think he meant that _at that time_, we had the chance of sinfecting someone who voted last for execution, and you should have told us that you should vote last for any execution in the future.

Wait, are you Breadcrumbing in reverse here? 😕😕😕

How about you are Scum? Is that a good theory? At least it is consistent.

**Vote AllWalker**

We were never in a position where execution was a proper course of action. Given the nature of the voting, I held the position that O was far better alternative to E most of the time, regardless of the sinfection factor. If we wound up in a situation where an E was even plausible, I would have considered claiming.

And again, I say that unnecessary claiming gets people killed. Or lynched. So yes, real scummy of me to keep an at-that-time irrelevant power a secret.

Good grief.

I actually agree with you on that point, AllWalker. I was merely clarifying Meeko’s post, or at least trying to anyway.

What the hell are you talking about? No, never mind, you don’t have a clue.

**Meeko** , a point you seem to have missed. Your voting is based on the tiniest little bullshit. Typical, though - I was too fucking “nice” to you and you can’t seem to shake the idea that I am Scum.

And yes, your theory is consistent, with your whole gameplay up to this point. Justify your opinions, would you? How can anyone defend a charge like that - breadcrumbing in reverse. Please.

Whatever - I can’t convince you. My story is too consistent, my gameplay to helpful, and for some reason you see this as one giant Scum tell. I’m done trying to convince you.

For anyone who votes for **Rysto** , if you could do me a favour - mention another player you want me to investigate once I’m ostracized. It wont mean shit if there are 4 BH out there, but hey, at least I tried.

I’ll be back later toDay - RL beckons. In the meantime, peace together a story which makes sense.

And **Mahaloth** - yeah, I know, that was directed at Meeko. Thanks for the clarification

Allwalker, let me do this again.

1. You edited the PM that had your Role. Scum would do this.
2. You did not tell us that you could essentially stop Sinners in their tracks. This is something Anti-Town would do. Anti Town == Scum.

And, you were tried to manufacture Town Cred. Yet, now we see that, _apparently_, you already had a town cred goldmine you wasted.

This is all I know, personally you have acted scummy on more than one occasion.

Do I have lingering questions about you? Perhaps as many lingering questions, as you have points you are TRYING to make regarding how “town” you actually are.

So. This is what I know. I know that you HAVE acted scummy. I also know that I do not have any vigilante power.

As I once was, so I remain, voting for you.

Untill I have reasons to un-vote, my vote is still for you.

I thought Rysto claimed. [I looked back, and I did overlook where you claimed the first time, Rysto, my bad.]

Mahaloth, given that list, as you have it, who would you vote for?

I should have said :

\*\*Do you really want me to answer that? \*\*

Ok, I will. I would say that you are Scum.

I think some people are making this more complicated than it needs to be…surprise, surprise.

1. We know we can trust **Meeko**.

2. **Meeko** says that he was protected on Nights 2 and 4.

3. There is no obvious way that anyone else could know (2) other than the Doctor.

4. \*\*Rysto \*\*knows (2)

5. Ergo, \*\*Rysto \*\*is probably the Doctor.

6. AllWalker says \*\*Rysto \*\*is scum.

7. A **llWalker** is probably lying…and therefore…a witch!!! Um, Blackheart, rather.

Sure, as **AllWalker is desperately trying to tell us, there are other theoretical scenarios that might explain all of the above. Maybe Rysto is some kind of Blackheart anti-Sin Doc, maybe Meeko** is a scum mason in secret cahoots with **Rysto** , maybe, well, whatever. But the logic outlined above seems to be the simplest and most obvious explanation for what we have seen.

As against this, **AllWalker** has not demonstrated that he has any verifiable information that every Blackheart wouldn’t have at the beginning of the game. Indeed, his claimed power conveniently doesn’t include the ability to tell whether players have converted to Sin since the game started, since he couldn’t know that.

</div>

WRT other players: **Mahaloth’s** inability to see the rather simple logic outlined above looks highly suspicious to me.

ANNND…if **peeker** _isn’t_ a Blackheart, then why wouldn’t **AllWalker** have identified _him_ as one, rather than taking the risk of fingering someone who hadn’t claimed yet, and might have a verifiable Town role to claim??? I think we have found a veritable scum gold mine here!

Town might just pull this one out yet. Woot friggin’ woot!

A)No Comment

B)JUST got back from singing the papers on a 2007 Shadow Spirit 750

C)  
You are an Ordinary Puritan. You believe in God, good works, and righteousness. You do not abide any impurity or sin and are seeking out to remove all evil from the town. Unfortunately, you do not know who is pure and who is not.

You are Town.
