So Nanook knows Sach is Town. I wonder if it's from a past investigation or if it's because Sach is the 3rd Witch?

My current thoughts: If nphase isn't back by the next Night, I think we should proxy her power, turn her into a vamp, and try a kill on the person we most suspect as being the 3rd witch. I doubt they'll have the 3rd witch protected since they figure nobody knows who it is...and while that's true, we do have some good guesses. We might get lucky..and if so, then there's only Nanook left and he wouldn't be able to protect himself, as far as I can tell (one witch doesn't have protection power, right?).
I strongly think the last witch is BillMc. We already had him narrowed down as a good possibility and a post he made toDay just solidified it in my head. The one where he posts his thoughts and the list. His first sentence says:
He's trying to pass the buck onto someone else. Basically, it's like denying that he, himself, is the third witch. To me, this speaks volumes. Because if I were a witch, I'd be doing this exact thing (making statements that talk about myself in the third person POV and saying things like "Whoever the 3rd Witch is, they should keep quiet". In this quote, he actually takes it one step further and tries to imply Sach might be it). I don't think Sach is it. I think BillMc is it and he's trying to subtly, cleverly, get any suspicions that he's it off of him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------- So yeah...tonight, I think--whether nphase is here or not--the best course of action is to have her change to vamp and try to kill BillMc. Of course, I'm willing to listen to other ideas and thoughts, however.

PLEONAST....Isn't Stan still allowed to partake in daily strategic disscussion and thoughts even being dead? Or am I wrong?

Yep, he's allowed, and I think he did so earlier. Continued input is actually one of the strengths of the Cabal, if players make use of it.

Sorry Idle, I am allowed, I've just been AFK. I'm back home for my mum's 60th which was accompanied by an engagement announcement from my brother, so it's been a bit crazy. But in a good way.
So, I definitely agree that nphase should use her power toNight. BillMC is probably a good target - I'd put it between him and mitchymoody. But in fact I'm now a lot less worried about the third witch and a lot more worried about Undead. However, I don't have any read on that, so we might as well go for Bill - best case he's the Necromancer, next best he's Vamp or Witch, worst he's Wolf, Detective or Freemason.

FCOD brings up a really huge point: There has been only 2 kills all this time (at Night).. It's making me wonder if we're blocking the third kill (and that MisterBlockey is a vamp)...although one of the Nights wouldn't account for it since we blocked Special Ed (although that might have accounted for only two kills happening on THAT Night....we could have blocked Ed, who was chosen for doing the kill for the wolves and the two deaths we saw on Day Two were Vamp kills......and since then, we've been successfully blocking MBs vamp kill)
We hadn't thought of that...

Put simply, it COULD be like this: Night one we block Ed. Ed's kill for the wolves fail and only two die that Night. Night two we block Blockey ( ). Possible vamp Blockey's kill fails and only two die that Night Night three we block Blockey. Possible vamp Blockey's kill fails and only two die that Night. It's possbile...although it would mean we've successfully blocked a kill every Night so far and I'm not sure I'm that big headed to believe we're that good. Still, something to think about. Maybe we should think about (too) not blocking Blockey and seeing if three deaths show up the next Day. We ALSO might be able to use this in a HUGE RISK move if need be. If we suspect Blockey is a vamp....nphase might be able to pull a Nanook, claim detective, and that she investigated a body and found Blockey killed them. By the way, thanks, Nanook, for giving us that great Cabal idea just now!

Mental Guy claimed the wolves (Inner Stickler) killed MHaye night one.
Guys, I'm really sorry but I think there's no way I can finish this game. My grandmother died; the funeral is Friday. On top of that my newborn nephew is critically ill, and we somehow have to give my husband's family support as well. I can't do this also, I just can't. Maybe in a week or two, but that doesn't help you now. I'm very, very sorry. I wish Pleo did subs and in fact consider this to be me begging for an exception just this once, but I'll understand if he can't/won't.
Again, very sorry. I agree with stanislaus' reasoning on Bill being the third witch, for what it's worth.

My condolences to you and your family, nphase.
And, yes, I will not substitute you. I am allowing your teammates to activate your secret power as they see fit, so the penalty to your team is lessened. You're not the only one minimally participating, so it's not like you stand out that way.
It's up to you how you want to handle it (or not) in the public game thread. Once the game is over, this forum will be open, so everyone will know you didn't flake out, but left for necessity.

I could claim Cabal toward the end of the Day tomorrow, when it's too late to lynch me. Effect would probably be to get me NKed sooner or later, instead of lynched. I could take down whoever you guys wanted me to along the way, though it probably still wouldn't be enough. I'd try to give the impression I'm the last and am throwing in the towel for game-related as well as personal reasons -- it's about all I could handle.
Or if you prefer I'll just stay silent. Up to you. I'm really sorry about this.

nphase, I'm really sorry about your bad news.
This is the time to be with your family. Stop worrying about the game. Certainly, don't try to keep playing with your final post. Just tell everyone you've had some bad news, and you won't be playing any more. Do it at the time most convenient for you - not when you think it'll work for us. The game is over for you and it doesn't matter. And really, you don't need to apologise to us!

I'm trying to get you guys to tell me whether I should claim Cabal or say nothing, because I can't even handle that much of a decision.

OK - say nothing.
1) It's what you'd do if you were town. 2) It helps if people keep looking for the last Cabalist, because they're not going to look at Idle. 3) Why give away info for free?

Saying nothing is fine....you may last longer than you think if you stay mum, but like stan says, go be with your family right now and leave the worries of the game behind. I'll hope everything turns out much better and so sorry for your loss.
