As the sun rises the large screen in the central room also lights up with a great fanfare, prodding all of the contestants out of bed with a delightful musical fanfare, and a remarkably good rendition of a famous wake-up call.
Bleary eyes turn towards the screen.
The entire house shakes with a whirring clanking noise. The floor opens, producing a metal chamber with small glass windows. Inside Eleanor is pounding trying to force her way out.
With that the screen turns off and the ambient noises die down with a disappointed whir.
It is now Day 3. Eleanor has been jailed and is unable to speak, vote, or be voted for. Day 3 will end at 8pm eastern this Friday (1st October).

Alright, if Eleanor's jailing is going to last all Day, that really sucks.
First two scenarios that came to mind:
1) Scum power, used to keep the doc at bay so their kill could (theoretically) go unimpeded. But damn, that's one tough power for scum to hold, so if that's the case, I would hope it has very limited uses.
2) It's possible Eleanor had a limited-use "protect everybody!" power, and getting herself jailed for a Day is the consequence of such. Could help explain why, despite two claimed vigs, plus the assumed scum kill, there were still no deaths.

another boring night to be following by another boring day -- let me guess, they are trying to drag the game out to halloween.
well i got zero results -- no results, no message saying i was blocked - zip back from the mods
makes me wonder whether I actually have a power - or whether my "power" is just a costume
indeed, with no deaths, could all our night killers (or folk with night powers) have no power at all?
or did marcel bullshit and have another emp?
oh and Vote: mhaye for using marquee

Realizing that I have no "real" power, in the same way you conclude you have no "real power" sucks more for me. It counterfeits EMP more than a Dick or variant of dick less than full force standard.

Also, could the Evidence today of a Jailing be Proof against the argument that I EMP'd again? Can you the Jail mechanic happen, if I EMP'd? Hopefully you guys understand me here, and how I mean this. I'm asking the question as best I can, and I can see how it's perhaps not direct. :Pulls up his pants, and stretches out imaginary suspenders -- Then waves a Finger, mouthing the word NO : I am NOT Steve Urkel.

Then again, how was someone jailed?

I hate marquee. And what? I mean it's great that we didn't lose any town to scum last night, but part of playing is finding out who is who upon death and then being able to better evaluate their statements during the game in light of their reveal. No death = no information for us and another pretty much Day One scenario. Great.

Now something happening to Eleanor pretty much negates another EMP, since someones action went through. But as Columbo said was it a scum action or was it some mechanism that happened because of something Eleanor herself (or another townie) did?

I second Batman. I go further than batman. I fully connected the "Reason" for my post restriction to the power of my Single EMP. [Everyone and their brother says its too powerful a power to be more than one shot. Again, they are correct.] I don't follow you fully--how are you connecting your post restriction to your power? There should be no connection whatsoever between anyone's costumes and their roles. Technically, if the jailing were a result of a moderator action or a game mechanic (ie, not caused by a player), then yes, the jailing could probably happen despite another EMP. I don't think that's the case though. So, three potential kills and two investigations all failed. That's really odd. For the record, I blocked Death of Rats last Night, not any of the claimed cops or vigs. (Death of Rats was chosen based on a completely random hunch. I've gotten lucky with such hunches in the past,* so I figured I'd keep it up) *except Ragnarok. Where's the "I fail completely and utterly" smiley?

Sorry; when I say "random hunch," I honestly mean that it's not based on anything concrete (or even semi-concrete). It's more or less genuinely random ("more or less" as in, well, I don't use any random generator or anything, but I didn't put much thought into it aside from wanting to see what happens by targetting an unclaimed player). All I know is that it really works now and then (the SSMB2 game is a great example--I was the town hitman, but my kills only worked if they would otherwise have been blocked or prevented. Night 2, I went with a random hunch, and ended up blowing away the scum doc.)

ok, i'll go out on a limb. three times blockey talks about "murder in your sleep" in the sign up thread. what if this is a fuck job and there is no murder in your sleep? i mean if it is just a single lynch per Day this game could stretch on FOREVER.
and i hate no lynches but would that potentially be the smart play seeing that nothing, apparantly, is happening at Night. at least based on our claimants.

Even if there are no non-lynch kills in this game (which I doubt, and which really wouldn't be mafia anymore, and which would kinda suck) how would not lynching get us anywhere? I mean, I hate to use phrases like "complete waste of time" but I do have better things to do with my life than try to make some sort of sense out of all of us standing around and picking our collective noses.

Well well well...I had a feeling this was going to happen, but I had hoped I was just being paranoid...
I'm sure it won't surprise anyone when I tell you I received no reply of any sort from the Mods in regard to my attempted kill last night.
Other than that, I got nothin' at the moment.

Rorschach's Journal Day 3
Spent a restless night. Kept looking over my shoulder, feeling someone tracking my moves. In the end, it was just shadows. This game has my skin tingling, my nerves on fire. I could feel electricity in the air. Something was happening, but when the sun rose there was a stillness. Nothing. I thought, this can't be right. Nothing like this happens in Mafia. There is always something.
Elinor in jail. Was it trumped up by Scum? Did she stumble on their location, or see one of them last Night? Not possible for a Doctor to see. But it bears looking into. She did something to cause her harm. Will have to ask her about it toMorrow.
Others reporting they were incapacitated during the Night. Maybe this game doesn't allow Night actions until the third Night, or later. Maybe only Day actions are allowed. Ehh.
Another mass block? The Mime stated it was a one-time power, now he's finished. Is he lying? Has someone found a way to manipulate that into another mass block that Night? Doesn't seem possible. Only explanation is another player has similar ability and used it last Night. But why? So many questions, and no answers.

Well, a few things occur to me.
If a mass block happened last night, then eleanor was jailed via a game mechanic. Either she somehow violated her role pm or possibly something she said Yesterday tripped said mechanic.
If Eleanor was jailed via a player's power, then a mass block could not have happened last Night.
I am fervently opposed to a No-Lynch. The lack of NK's the past two days has had the effect of elongating one Day/Night Cycle into twice as long a period, i.e. our lynch on Day 2 was functionally equivalent to the scum's night kill. I am totally ok with having the scum NK be decided by a group of people who are mostly town.
If there is no scum, then I have better things to do with my time than participate in some modly joke.
