Before you can even properly begin to drink you are intereupted by another one of those damn visions. This one, predictably, is from MHaye.

> [@MHaye](#):
>
> "The Silent Pigs have led the loyal associates by their collective noses in this lynching. The only reason I can think of is that they dislike being called Silent Pigs.
> 
> "I charge all loyal associates to refer to Disgruntled Associates as Silent Pigs and only Silent Pigs, unto the end of the game.
> 
> Or I’ll sic my mate Chuck on you from beyond the grave."

Short for a vision, but it cuts to the point. You look around to see what others think. Will the name “Silent Pigs” really catch on? Only time will tell. You resume your drinking.

Hey guys, the Day should start in about 2.5 hours. Unfortunatly it doesn’t look like I am going to be home to start the Day. Rather then starting the Day early I am going to opt for starting it late. If Mtgman comes along and sees that the Day still needs to start before I make it back, he might start the Day.

Otherwise the Day won’t start till this evening.

Sorry all.

The previous Day had been so stressfull that there was very little socializing going on that Night. After recieving the post death message from MHaye almost everyone wanted to just crawl into their beds and go to sleep. There was some talk about fireing up the frogurt machine that the monks had, rather surprisingly, installed in the kitchen area of the compound. But no one was really that interested in a frozen dessert.

Few people managed to sleep that night, and as dawn broke it seemed as if the whole group were already up wandering the grounds. Eventually everyone made their way to the main courtyard near the entance to find out if another body had been hung their in warning. But the carved archway was empty. With a communal sigh of releif the town began to get back to the buisness of sorting out just how to get out of this horrific situation safely.

Someone, suggested that maybe everyone would thing better if the group went down to the hot springs and took a dip. And so the group walked its way down the winding footpath to the natural pools, the mood seemed to lighten and the group began to chatter. People begin to talk about how beautiful the grounds are, and how truely majestic the vistas are and the subject of MHaye’s horrific and unjustified murder and the hand of the “team” didn’t come up once. Maybe things would be alright after all.

And then you see it. At the edge of the springs proped up on the diving rock. It looks like Cookies was sitting there working away on her laptop. But something was wrong. Were her legs supposed to be able to bend in that direction? And there seemed to be a piece of yellow legal paper attatched to her chest. A scream rang out as the truth slowly dawns on you. You run up the rocks to examine her body and find that she has been posed there, again clearly moved from the place where she was killed. The note on her chest reads “All work and no play makes Cookies a dull sheep”. Clearly the silent pigs were…less than creative.

ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies - Associate

has been murdered.

Another of your ranks has been killed, and not a single member of Disgruntled Associates LLP has been found. There are now 16 of you left. You have 7 days before Night 3 starts, but you all have Christmas off. So the Day will end exactly 8 days from the time of this post. Monday December 31st at 3: 20 Pacific time.

With 16 alive it will take 9 votes to start the countdown and just 10 votes to end the Day instantly.

Go Team!

Hey, we’re back early - cool! (Except for Cookies ☹ )I didn’t expect to be playing again until tomorrow (which is probably why it’s quiet in here).

Anyway, here is the list of people who voted for **MHaye** :  
10 - MHaye - (OAOW, zuma, brewha, Dio, Hawkeyeop, Kat, Cookies, Pleonast, HockeyMonkey, Freudian Slit)

Sadly, I don’t think we can really glean much information from that, except I am sure there are at least a couple of scum in there. Of course, there are also plenty of Associates in there, too, so we can’t jump to any conclusions. But I think it will be useful to remember down the line.

And now that we’ve got the dossiers out in the open, hopefully we can waste less time on them and get more early voting. The late voting of Day One was harmful in two ways: first, there was not enough time for \*\*MHaye \*\*to defend himself and try to change anyone’s mind. Second, the late time gave good cover, e.g. “well, \*\*MHaye \*\*already has 8 votes and we need to lynch _somebody_, so vote.” Hard to argue with that, because then you’ll get accused of wanting a no lynch. So let’s try to get the votes in early and often!

With that in mind, **vote brewha** for reasons enumerated yesterDay.
