Arkham Asylum: 0635 hours
Storyteller woke up with a start. What could be going on here? The sun was up?! Why didn't anyone wake him up? Where was he? What's going on? Then he realized: Arkham. It's never easy to wake up in this place, and it certainly hasn't gotten any easier in the last week or so either.... He recalled the previous Day's lynch, and remembered how Catwoman was usually the first to wake him up, and now they were without her. Oh well, loss was something you get used to in Arkham. Darth Sensitive knocked on the door, and waited for Story to get ready. And then they walked on down to the broken down remnants of the mess hall of Arkham to greet the others. This was already going to be another long Day, as the others were already sitting down and squabbling about what to do. The Asylum was getting to them all. Molefan , Rysto, and Sinjin were squabbling about breakfast, and Blastermaster was trying to make some coffee, but everyone felt on edge. NAF was sleeping in a corner, just trying to catch some shuteye before the main arguments began again.
"Hey, guys.... Where's Hoopyfrood?" asked Darth, and the others looked up and around. "Huh. What d'ya know, Hoopy ain't here," said Rysto. "I didn't see him earlier in his room either."
Sinjin looked around, and then noticed something over by the main doors to the mess hall. It was some broken glass- from Hoopy's Helmet. And there were scuff marks all along the ground leading up to the electric green fence outside.
"Looks like they got him during the night" said NAF, in hushed tones. "Who?" asked Molefan. "You-Know-Who..... Him. Bats!" said NAF, with a hint of fear in his voice, as he turned back to enter the Asylum.
And so begins Day 9 In Arkham Asylum.
Hoopyfrood AKA Mr. Freeze, a Baddie Roleblocker, has been captured by the Do-Gooders.
The Day will end Wednesday around 9pm [Subject to Change depending on Dio].

storyteller, as I'm sure it will surprise none of you to learn, is Town. Shall we lynch BLaM or Darth? I'm leaning towards BLaM.

With 7 alive, I believe it takes 4 to trigger the 24 hour countdown, as per the old Rules of Dio.And of course, no talking for 24 hours will end up stopping the Day period.

I suck, y'all. I've gotten completely disoriented by the change in schedule, and thought the Night ended as usual today at 6:00PM EST. As a result, I protected no one last Night; I was coming on right now to send in my plan for the Night.

storyteller, as I'm sure it will surprise none of you to learn, is Town. Shall we lynch BLaM or Darth? I'm leaning towards BLaM. Oh my, what another convenient investigation. He's been practically confirmed for some time now (ie, basically the whole game), and you decide to investigate him instead of an unconfirmed like sinjin or Darth Sensitive? Let's see, you also investigate Hoopy, who was also at least confirmed to not be Do-Gooder. Oh, and you investigated me which, besides being a lie, not that anyone would have doubted that, since I've been fighting confirmation bias the whole time. In fact, the only result that wasn't completely consistent with scum pulling results out of his ass was the one on DBI. And even that has a few reasonable explanations. Perhaps the scum were trying to find a way to get someone semi-confirmed, and the best way to do that was to get someone to effectively counter-claim the scum detective. How else do we explain his bizarre result on DBI? Why would he give a wrong result on her when he would have known that TDPatriots was lying and known there was still a PFK out there? Why didn't he give the results of someone he was sure of or, hell, give townie results on the fellow scum he thought was likely to live longer or, like you, make up results on safe bets? Perhaps you're actually PFK. Yes, I know what NAF said was that there was only suppose to be one PFK left. But we also have to note that DBI showed up as completely unmalicious, so we have to ask ourselves if she even counts. But seriously, look at the evidence compiled against me. Confirmation bias from zuma's bizarre behavior, and an investigation from Rysto. Look at what Rysto has in his favor, unnecessary pro-Baddie results on Hoopy and storyteller? A claim that he had secret PFK conditions? He found a PFK as did Hawk? This guy is so full of it, even the EFSM doesn't have the tools necessary to measure it.

Well, Blaster, if - and I'm not exactly wagering my house on this or anything - but if you come up Town, then the game is over. Rysto's a liar and Darth Sensitive is a liar and we will lynch them immediately following your own death.
I'm comfortable with my vote.

Rysto's a liar and Darth Sensitive is a liar and we will lynch them immediately following your own death. I'm comfortable with my vote. Those're some pretty bold assumptions. AFAICT, we have no reason to believe that Batman has exhausted his belt o' tricks. You don't know what powers the other Do-Gooder may have that haven't been used. Assuming you can just lynch me and think the game is over is just silly. And really, what is the case against me? I see massive confirmation bias from zuma, and Rysto's BS reading on me. Hell, I've done the best I can to play as transparently as possible. Why do you think I spent so damn long arguing with you about why DBI should die the last several Days? But here, let me put it to you in the form of numbers. You KNOW either me or Rysto is lying. You know that if Rysto is honest, and you lynch me, great. If you lynch him, and your assumptions are right, then we still have a spare lynch and me and Darth are set up, and all is well. OTOH, if Rysto is lying and I'm telling the truth and you lynch me, you just did the scum a favor, you lynch him, and then you still have to find the scum between Darth and Sinjin. But if you lynch him, the scum HAVE to target me, because at this point it's impossible for them to win if I'm left alive, and you get rid of two unconfirmeds with a single lynch. BTW, since I failed to do it in the previous post... Lynch Rysto

Only thing wrong with that, BlaM, is that my own personal opinion that you're a do-gooder actually has very little to do with Rysto, and a lot more to do with my own observations - which pretty much match exactly with what Rysto said not two days before I posted mine, but otherwise have nothing whatsoever to do with them. It's obvious enough that I seem to have approached this problem from a different "angle" than most; but that doesn't make it any less valid.
If I'm wrong, I'm sorry. But my vote is staying firmly on you unless enough townies change theirs to make a majority vote untenable - and right now, that's not happening.

While we wait for the axe to fall:
It would seem that there are two possibilities here, assuming the lynch of BLAM goes through as it should in about an hour.
1. BLAM is a Townie. In this case, we should lynch Rysto and Darth Sensitive, both as substantive liars. I don't see a preference with regard to order.
2. BLAM is a Do-Gooder. In this case, Darth Sensitive is very likely (but not certain) to be the last Do-Gooder. At that point, we will have to collectively decide whether we want to risk Rysto being PFK. The problem is that we have, simply, no way of knowing either way. My inclination would be to lynch Darth and take our chances with Rysto, but some sort of discussion on that subject might be worthwhile come the Morning if, as seems likely, BLAM is a Do-Gooder.

But my vote is staying firmly on you unless enough townies change theirs to make a majority vote untenable - and right now, that's not happening. Fair enough, and you're a special case. You keep making mention about how it's obvious that Darth and I were working together. Quite honestly, I don't see it, or at least, it's not as obvious as you make it out to be. So I'd like you to ellaborate on this point that you're so fond of using to condemn me. Now, before I go farther, I will state plainly that I'm suspicious of him, but for direct evidenced behavior, such as his continued hounding of you and the other Masons Let's say there was some sort of connection between us and let's assume for a moment that Darth is scum. You did make note of him changing his vote with regard to my actions, and that's a valid point if accurate (I'm willing to concede it's valid for the sake of this point because I'm too lazy to go look, and it's). However, I fail to see how one scum's actions of adjusting his behavior to another person necessarily indicts the latter. If anything, it stinks of snuggling to drag me down with him. You also have to consider his other behavior with regard to me. Let's say I'm scum with him, why on Earth would he accuse me of attacking him like he did Yesterday and reitterated Today? The only reason I can imagine why he'd want to do that is to justify putting his vote on me, since the scum KNOW they need to kill me but don't want to waste a Night kill on an unconfirmed at this point. And the other question, which I have not yet received an answer for yet. IF we assume the Rysto is telling the truth, and that I'm confirmed scum, and that there's only one scum left, WHY would he investigate Storyteller and not either Darth or sinjin? Regardless of his result, if he's deemed to be telling the truth, then you'd know for sure which of those two is Batman and that I'm the other Do-Gooder. The most consistent motivation for that behavior is that he's pulling results out of his ass, and doesn't want to give a clue about who between Darth and sinjin is his cohort. Thus, I get lynched, he follows, then he can hope that the wrong one between those two is lynched for a Victory (assuming all Night kills go through). So someone, ANYONE, please tell me how his behavior is remotely consistent with a Detective playing with the town's best interest in mind?

My inclination would be to lynch Darth and take our chances with Rysto, but some sort of discussion on that subject might be worthwhile come the Morning if, as seems likely, BLAM is a Do-Gooder. Oh, for the love of God! Why do people keep saying I'm a likely Do-Gooder, and not actually, you know, putting forth a case? Examine Rysto's motivation for his investigations. Examine his claim about not having a PFK condition. Doesn't ANY of that seem specious to anyone else? And what have I got against me? zuma's bizarre behavior? Snuggling from Darth? Hell, you even said yourself yesterday, storyteller, that my bringing the point up about DBI makes NO SENSE if I'm scum. You know why? BECAUSE I'M NOT SCUM!

You also have to consider his other behavior with regard to me. Let's say I'm scum with him, why on Earth would he accuse me of attacking him like he did Yesterday and reitterated Today? That's the easiest thing in the world to explain. Assuming that you're scum with him, as you suggest here, you would both have known going into that Night that you were the most likely target for Rysto to investigate. You also had to know there was a chance Rysto would survive that Night. Once he got a read on you, you were dead meat. Darth was, as they say, chucking you under the train in the hopes of earning himself some kind of cred. Because if Darth or sinjin is the remaining scum, then he or she (respectively) is likely to be Batman, and therefore likely to give a "Town" result. Rysto, and others, were worried about the possibility that I was not scum, but PFK. If Batman is a Godfather-type, then Rysto's power is useless as detecting scum, but still use ful at detecting PFK. Rysto had not unreasonable motivation for suspecting me of being the latter (my power, unlike most of the others we've seen, comes with no caveat or limitation), and his investigation of me reads as completely explicable in light of that. Nope. See above. As above.

Darth was, as they say, chucking you under the train in the hopes of earning himself some kind of cred. That doesn't make any sense at all. He could just as easily have agreed with the prevailing wisdom that Rysto was targetted, and voted for me with everyone else. IOW, throwing me under the bus is completely unnecessary, as I was already there. Either this is a poorly thought out move by the scum (which I could never rightfully agree with) OR there's more going on here. Both of those scenarios preclude me from being scum along with Darth. I don't buy this scenario either, and I think this is even stretching for you. Bane was a Baddie, it just doesn't make sense for you to be a PFK. As for the Godfather type, that is a possibility that he'd show up as town, so that is a fair point; HOWEVER, there is absolutely no evidence that supports that either Darth or sinjin are not also PFKs. Carrying the fact that Batman MAY possibly still be investigatable AND that either of them carries a higher probability of being PFK than you, it STILL doesn't make sense for him to investigate you. You're REALLY letting your confirmation bias carry you through here.

Yeah, don't even address my points. I imagine because you don't have good reasons? Do you really expect to win hearts and minds like this? I have plenty of good reasons; if you're really interested in my reasoning as regards the endgame, you can read any of the 420 posts I've made to date. But I'm certainly not going to waste half the afternoon reiterating them; who, precisely, would I be trying to convince? You? I think you're a Do-Gooder. Everyone else is already voting for you, so making the argument against you - again - is unlikely to be a good use of time.
