[QUOTE=Hawkeyeop] Now that the scum’s plot to down the message board has failed, back to work. I don’t think you being scum is as unlikely as you say. You could easily of taken traits from a fellow scum and then revealed them first. [/quote] Except that, no scum share those traits. > [@](#): > > Furthermore, both the remaining scum have had only 1 trait revealed, so you only would needed to be lucky once, not three times. That’s an outright lie! The first killer killed twice. The second killer killed twice. The third killer killed three times, including once after **Hazel** was lynched(which means that the third killer must still be alive). The fourth killer killed once. **Vote sachertorte** I’m willing to switch to **Hawkeyeop**. I see no point in lynching **faithfool** if she’s going to be mod-killed anyway, and as I believe that she’s Town a vote for her will end the game if I’m right. ---

[QUOTE=Rysto] Except that, no scum share those traits. [/QUOTE] No scum revealed those traits. There is a difference. [QUOTE=Rysto] That’s an outright lie! The first killer killed twice. The second killer killed twice. The third killer killed three times, including once after **Hazel** was lynched(which means that the third killer must still be alive). The fourth killer killed once. [/QUOTE] Am I misremembering? I thought the last two killers only revealed once. The person who revealed the Pleo trait revealed other traits? Regardless, I don’t believe Faith is scum, so you could be the most recent killer. ---

I’m not switching my vote. If she doesn’t show up, she gets mod-killed. If she does show up, we have a chance at lynching scum. There’s no reason to lynch **faithfool** toDay. ---

[/QUOTE] She won’t get modkilled until after the day ends (I’m assuming). So we will lose with a no lynch before she would be modkilled. If we lynch her, we at least have a mathematical chance. ---

That doesn’t make any sense. The Town doesn’t lose until another townie is night-killed. ---

NAF, can you clarify? If **faithfool** is scum and is mod-killed, does the Town lose anyway? If yes, then I’ll change my vote to **faith** ---

Rambling… I’ve been trying to get in off and on. Stupidly, my friend said yesterday that he’d read I had another day. Anyway, from what I’ve briefly read, I’d vote Pleo, if for no other reason than not making any sense. But whoever can respond to me quickest to let me know what I should do since I obviously haven’t been able to read much further along. I’m so sorry for my real life shit getting in the way. I’ll attempt to remain around a bit. ---

I told you so, **Hawkeyeop**. **faith** , I am voting for **sachertorte**. He’s barely participated, and he’s a very good player who has said a couple things that seem very off(he’s said that he doesn’t trust the private dossier traits, for instance, and then gone and formed a theory based on the private dossier traits). It’s your call. Vote and I’ll probably follow you. ---

There is an extension. I don’t know how long yet. But it will be a minimum of 60 minutes. I will post again soon. I just need to figure out how long the board was down.
