You may choose a player to protect and a player to investigate.

If we come up with a scum again, let's not be so quick to throw it out there. We could have gotten some useful information from who and what Ed interacted with before he was named Scum. Everything he said after that was basically useless.
Except maybe the bit about Sach. I wouldn't mind investigating him.

Fair enough.
I have no opinions, other than an aversion to being protected.
Day Two was more fun and less stressful than Day One, but I still don't think Mafia is the game for me in the long run.

It struck me as odd that Stanislaus claimed to have known Special Ed was Wolf before I announced it, so that's a poster to keep an eye on, but I don't know that it says anything about his alignment.
Sigh, there I go being ambivalent again.

I'm 90% sure the bit about sach was misdirection, but we can keep him in mind as a candidate for being investigated.

Miscellaneous:
I noticed (after discussion of squink's post of "free") that I also wrote "free" (also in quotes) in Day 1 - #353. I was not trying to send any message then, but point it out now in case there's some way that message can lead to harm (or good?).
Pleonast's Day 2 clarification about attempted Vampire kill was in response to PM from me. (No reason I can think of why this fact would be of interest to you, but I may as well reveal all my secrets!)
sachertorte is on my list also as possible scum / useful to investigate. Another on my list is duvsie. She's lurking: only three posts in the whole game, but all three seem suspicious. I hope you two will mention your scum/town guesses as well.

Day Two was more fun and less stressful than Day One, but I still don't think Mafia is the game for me in the long run. It'll be more fun once you get used to all the ins and outs. And Conspiracy games tend to be a little bit more complicated than the typical game. You're doing fine so far.

In case anyone is not keeping up with Night Two
Mental Guy said "I am not sure if this is the best thing to do or not, but I am going to do it. I am a detective. Inner Stickler killed MHaye. "

That informtion means that if we come up with a Wolf or Cabal reading for someone, we do not reveal our results. Especially if we come up with a Wolf result. I don't want to give them anymore information than is strictly necessary. If we reveal our result they'll have that person do the kill to neuter the detectives for at least one Night.
On the bright side, the Wolves at least probably won't be aiming for us tonight, making it more likely we make it through.
On another note, the fact that all three of us survived last Night means it unlikely that the Cabal got the same secret power they had previously(the one shot unstoppable kill). They would have used it on one of us last Night if they had. That's a good thing. Unfortunately, it also makes it far more likely that they have a recruitment of some sort to balance the low numbers.

Should we assume Mental Guy's claim is almost certainly truthful? But in that case, why didn't he wait until just a few minutes before Dawn so Wolves wouldn't have time to agree to Night-kill him? (Answering my own question ... was it to make sure we Witches didn't waste an investigation on either Mental or Inner ?) On the bright side, the Wolves at least probably won't be aiming for us tonight, making it more likely we make it through. Are you suggesting we protect Mental Guy instead of Nanook ?

Are you suggesting we protect Mental Guy instead of Nanook ? Just kidding. (Are there any Town power roles we'd consider protecting instead of one of ourselves?)

My guess is that Mental Guy was too excited by having information to keep it to himself, rather than being concerned about us witches not wasting an investigation.
Yes, arguably, he should have waited until just before the new day starts to post the information. This way, he's much more of a target.
I don't know if there would ever be a time where we'd decide that protecting a particular Town power role (as played by a particular player) was a better idea than protecting one of us.
I do know that during the first Conspiracy, Idle Thoughts and (I think) sachertorte spent a lot of time bickering in game, Idle Thoughts was a WitchDoctor, and so he was protecting sachertorte, while claiming to protect himself and publicly being skeptical of sachertorte (who was the coroner and a very important role in that game).
But as long as the Cabal is running around loose so far as we know, we need all the powers we can get . . .

The only time it would really be wise to protect someone other than ourselves is if the Cabal were all dead and the person we were thinking of protecting is important to whatever faction was still alive. Maybe the Vicar if there was only undead left, or the last Detective if there were only Wolves left. There's no reason to protect Mental Guy over us, since there's 2 more Detectives still out there, and the Cabal is still a threat.

Night ends tomorrow. Any disagreement on protecting me and investigating Sach?

Protecting Nanook and investigating Sachertorte works for me.

Protect NanookInvestigate Sachertorte@ Pleonast: Can I grant a voting proxy to my fellow Witches? It would give a safety-net if my Internet failed just before Dawn. (Going out to Internet cafe would not be an option as Dawn breaks at 2 A.M. in my timezone. )

Okay, you'll protect Nanook and investigate sachertorte.
There's no need for a proxy; there simply needs to be no disagreement. Saying nothing is implicit consent.
