Day Eight begins just like all the other Days. You answer calls of nature, clean up in your various ways, and stagger out to get breakfast. The buffet table is there, loaded with the usual stuff. The Halloween decorations are still up, their masks ad strange signs a bit mocking, given that more than half of you are still alive.
It takes a little while for you all to notice the absence. Maybe it was the extra festivities last Night, or maybe you don't notice the absence because the missing one is normally so unobtrusive. Only when the table is being cleared does anyone realise that the quiet Indian gentleman who is so painfully shy around women is not there at all.
You decide to hunt for him. After all, people have been dying (albeit slowly) so it's possible that someone has killed Doctor Koothrappil. He isn't in his room, however – although his bed looks unrumpled, as if he hasn't slept in it. Puzzled, you search the other bedrooms, but there is no sign of him.
It takes about an hour to find him, or rather his remains. His body is in a closet where cleaning supplies are kept, secured upright by liberal applications of duct tape. More such tape has covered his mouth, explaining why it was that none of you heard his screams while his killer managed the evisceration. You jump to the conclusion that the murder weapon was a machete, aided by the very bloody example of said weapon lying by the corpse's feet.
Shaken (but not stirred – after all, this was a party where MURDERING PEOPLE IN THEIR SLEEP was supposed to be commonplace) you make your way back to the main lounge, pour stiff drinks and look at each other, wondering who disembowelled the good Dr. Koothrappil
Dr. Rajesh Ramayan Koothrappil, Town-aligned Vigilante is dead.
Day 8 begins now, and will last until 8pm EDT on Wednesday 3rd November.

Batman, what happened with your investigation?

Post by Inner Stickler on Oct 31, 2010 20:49:19 GMT -5
Shall we discuss a possible lynch list? My thought is: Today: paulwhoisameeko Tomorrow: Iskaral Pust The Day after Tomorrow: Death of Rats The Day after the Day after Tomorrow: Elizabeth Bathory
Unless, of course an investigation of elizabeth yields scum and then she gets moved forward appropriately. And if she is town, then she can be dropped entirely. Suggestions? Additions? Eliminations?

Like I said, it isn't rational, but you can fathom the pleasure of lynching two threats to town at the same time, can't you? Or rather, I think you could fathom it if it if you weren't such a threat yourself.

I investigated Story - but I was redirected to Meeko.
There is no pro-town reason for anyone to stop me investigating Story. And no reason why a scum redirector would redirect me onto another scum. So I am now convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that Story is the redirector, and is PFK.
Oh yeah - "You learn that PaulwhoisaMeeko is a Scum Scotsman."
Another dull day
Vote: Meeko
Vote: introduce a hammer to end the end

Given Meeko/Paul is awol, it confirms there is another scum putting in the kill order. So my money is totally on Elizabeth.
So we are at: 8(9)-2(3)-3 (town(9 kills for 8 town), scum(3lynches to kill 2 of them), pfk)
Nphase will have tagged 6 people by now. We do not know her exact wincon. Given that SisC stopped yesterdays lynch, she must think there is still a chance that the PFK's can win. Indeed, given the mods didn't automatically shorten the Days, it would seem to suggest that it is not a foregone conclusion that Town will win.
Tagging all living players is a virtually impossible wincon, so it must be something else - may just a case of having tagged more players (dead or alive) than the number of town alive.
If that is the case, then it could be 8(9)-2(3)-3(6)
D8: Lynch Paul (ie no lynch) 8-2(3)-3(6) N8: Scum kill town, Normal tags 7-2(3)-3(7) and that could possibly be a PFK win We can't risk this, and we can't rely on Scum to kill Normal either.
Unvote: Meeko/Paul
Vote: NPhase/Iskaral
Which then plays out at:
D9: Lynch Elizabeth or Story depending on an investigation of Story (7-1-2) or (7-2-1) D10: Lynch Elizabeth or Story (6-1-1) D11: Lynch SisC (5-1-0) D12: Lynch Paul (4-1-0) D13: Lynch Paul again (another month till it's over....urghhhhhhhhhhhh) (3-0-0)
If Story is actually Town, then we win on Day12

Pointless to keep talking to you about this, corpsified rodent, because all I was saying was that I would like to be able to lynch in pairs to get through the backlog, but I am fully aware and cognizant of the fact that it is a 50/50 chance of lynching no one, and I'm fully aware that you're quite low on the priority list.

Unless the rat knows the win conditions of other PFKs, which is not a detail I'm aware of unless I missed it, why would her stopping the lynch infer anything about Iskaral's win condition?

I don't believe SisC is being totally truthful about what she knows about the other PFK's; and I don't believe Normal is being truthful about her specific wincon as a mad bomber. There is no good scum reason for a scum redirector to have redirected me to Meeko/Paul. So it had to be a PFK action. It could not have been SisC or Normal. Yet SisC states that Normal is the only other PFK - she must be lying. SisC defended Story early on - hence why I thought he was PFK then, and I am convinced he is PFK now and the redirector. At this moment in time, the remaining Scum are in no danger of winning. However, we do not know Normal's exact wincon -- therefore the PFK's *may* be closer to their wincon that the Scum. As such, I am much happier with removing an unknown wincon from the game.

Also, lynching Meeko today does not reduce the non-town voters as he will survive it.

Stopping that seems more important than lynching scum at the moment. Vote Iskaral PustVote End Day
