Give him credit for trying. 😉

I don’t think a “bomb” role is likely in a game aimed at introducing new players to our particular entertainment. It might cause someone killed out early to lose interest and not come back. So I’m not worried about getting killed in a revenge strike.

Well. This isn’t a very difficult decision.

**Lynch Justin Credible**

I think we have to assume **MHaye** is right about the testerizer, or at least act to confirm. If we’ve got it solved it immediately becomes a weapon. Plus nothing about **Justin’s** reactions, either before or after he was tested, suggests that he hasn’t been caught out. I’m pretty comfortable with that considering the way he’s flinging blame around at the moment.

NETclarify:

“Plus nothing about Justin’s reactions, either before or after he was tested, suggests that he hasn’t been caught out.”

What I mean is I don’t see any behavior on his part that doesn’t suggest he’s a wolf whose time has come, and he knows it.

Also that would be the craziest list of saves in the history of mafia :-P. You save the LEAST suspicious player, not two of the most.

Though if two doctors came out they could protect each other, which would just be annoying.

Or maybe the Farmers got a cop, the Ranchers got a doctor, and Zeriel is really a wolf? I say we lynch him just to be sure.

\*\*unvote Justin Credible

vote Zeriel\*\*

Can a doctor in any mafia game you’ve played protect themselves from the lynch?

I dunno, I’ve never played one before. I’ll guess no, since it protects against night kills. Like the ones you do. At night.

At the start of every night, I choose one person. If the wolves try to kill that player, the kill is blocked.

It’s something that did cross my mind, actually. Thankfully that doesn’t appear to be the issue.

Aw, that’s too bad, especially since she’s a wolf. Right, Mahaloth?

Uh huh. That seems like a fair division of power roles, I think not. Though I’m glad to see you fight back a little.

So when do we find out if Justin was a farmer or rancher wolf? 🙂
