Dawn breaks. Everyone is milling around. The crowd is much smaller than it was.Guest 1: The screams! How many of us are missing? Guest 2: My god. Three! There are three people gone! Fred: You're right! I heard the screams, too, and there are three people missing. Guest 1: They said, "I can't take it! It's too horrible!" That's what I heard. Guest 2: They sounded almost crazed. Desperate to escape... something. Velma: The screams were coming from the library! Daphne: And the ballroom! I know I heard something from the ballroom. They split into two groups. The first group goes to the Ballroom and find evidence that Romanic was there and left in a hurry, leaving behind a dog clicker and some Scooby Snacks.The second group goes to the Library. There is a suit of armor lying across the doorway. Inside, they find one of the paintings has been thrown across the room and a person-shaped hole is in the paneling where the painting used to be, as if someone burst through the wall into the room. A feather duster lies in the middle of the floor.*** Romanic, AKA Keith Barkley, AKA Town Dog Trainer, scampered from the Hotel in terror.Inner Stickler, AKA Prudence the Maid, AKA Town Searcher, has fled the Library, screaming in horror.Storyteller, AKA Charles Smiley, AKA Library Painting, AKA Scum Watcher, bolted from the Library lest he slip into madness.*** Day 2 will end Friday, April 15 at 3 pm EDT

Poop ... even going down a scum doesn't make up for going down 2 Townies.

Poop ... even going down a scum doesn't make up for going down 2 Townies. you're kidding, right? This is very good news. Since we typically expect 1 dead Town every Night, we got that and a 1:1 trade without even using a Day! very good news indeed.

Heck of a lot better than going down two townies *without* going down one scum.
vote: Suburban Plankton[/color]
The quick instinct worked well on FCOD yesterday; to my SP-related comments from yesterday I'll add Storyteller's sort-of defense as directed toward him (a bit WIFOM-y, granted) and his first reaction to FCOD's claim as contrasted to how he handled the claim *after* people had come in trashing it left and right.
Finally, assuming that was you, Septimus, his vague claim is settled in my mind and I'm no longer interested in lynching him today.

Septimus -- extremely vague claim of something not worth being killed over that needed a witness. Unless I'm losing my mind or someone *else* did something directed at me last night, I've just served as that witness.

Sorry. I guess I'm not thinking too well at the moment. I didn't get much sleep last night because I have a stupid song running through my head. I've got Petula Clark's "Downtown" playing over and over and over. This is one of the worst earworms I've ever had.
I guess getting a scum power role is pretty good.

Septimus -- extremely vague claim of something not worth being killed over that needed a witness. Unless I'm losing my mind or someone *else* did something directed at me last night, I've just served as that witness. What did you witness? Septimus should be the one to decide whether to claim it, I think. But his self-description of it is accurate, in my mind, even the "more likely town than scum" part. I think. Will sleep on it.

okay. just woke up to this. 3 last night, huh? i'm preparing to go to work so i can't stay long. however so far there are a couple topics i want to discuss.:
1. the interesting roles in this game - some are obviously unique to this game. also, seems we have at least two more vigs.
2. the role of scooby snacks

I know that Inner Stickler is a strong player, yet I see only one post from him that comments explicitly on the game: Why do people keep saying this? I don't think there's any evidence for it. Not so much Ed as Mentalguy but he's saying stuff that rings true to me that I'm having a hard time believing scum could guess at. And Ed's tied into Mentalguy's claim. That's all I'm going to say about it for now. I didn't think much about this when Inner Stickler posted it, but I now understand why what I said rang true to him. We had the exact same role (well, I haven't seen his PM, but I am a maid and can search for stuff, such as Daphne), except my name is Bambi. also, seems we have at least two more vigs. more? I assume he means in addition to Archangel, who was a one-shot vig. He does seem to be ignoring the possibility of other causes of death, though.

Given the possibility of town aligned killing roles still remaining, I would suggest that if there is only one remaining mason, that they should claim, so that the scum will be forced to night kill them rather than having a vig accidentally do it. It might not be a bad idea even if there are two masons remaining, though I would like to hear comment from others about that.

I think it's because: Point 1 I suppose I can't really argue with. Point 2 assumes that Scum will never defend Town, which you know is not the case. Point 3 sounds like you needed a third point for your list, and Opal was busy... If I've misunderstood you, please correct me.

Charlie, there are a whole host of reasons why there could have been multiple deaths last night besides another Vig or two. Several that come to mind are:
1. A Scum Strongman, who has an extra kill. Depending on the game setup, the Strongman might not be in control of his target. For example, a Strongman might have a restriction that he can only kill if a particular set of circumstances are met.
2. A Serial Killer (3rd-party kind of person).
3. Ask Opal.

I have so much trouble scum-hunting, I've decided to just hunt for Townies instead. Even that seemed difficult, but with the Lynched FCOD flipping Scum, I think I've found some Townies.
The first four votes on FCOD were archangel, septimus, LightFoot, and renata, and I assume all four of us are Town. (I include Day 1 votes. LightFoot voted FCOD early both Days.) Obviously I'm only 100% certain of the Towniness of archangel and myself but, also obviously, I explicitly invite LightFoot and renata to accept membership in our own group of semi-confirmed pseudo-masons, or "Archangel's choir", whatever we want to call ourselves.
(It's true that neither renata nor I had a vote on FCOD for most of Day 2, but we encouraged suspicion of FCOD. As for myself, my Towniness seems increasingly obvious, and any further scum smudges against me will be taken as themselves scum-tells. ;D )
There are others who joined the FCOD bandwagon early enough to be probable Townies, and I encourage them to embrace the pseudo-masons.

I don't know what Snacks are for, or how many the players have, or even if it's good or bad to have them. I'll guess that It may not be particularly anti-Town to give Snacks to septimus. special ed has been flaunting his gifts of Snacks, demonstrating receipt of at least ten Snacks from the Moderator if my count is correct. Only four other players have proven that they had as much as a single Snack. (The rules made me think everyone would get at least one Snack. Did anyone ask Julie about that?) I don't know why players are so reluctant to pass them around (give them to me if you don't know any other Townies ), or even reveal how many they have. One of the players asked me what the questions about Snacks were for. If you were to blurt out "I got 3 Snacks on the morning in question", would it help Scum much? Maybe (though they already know you're Town ). Even a cryptic comment might have some use, eventually. renata finally admitted that she had an even number of Snacks (possibly zero?) added to her account on Morning 2, but most players have volunteered no information at all. As I've said, the Snacks I've given out were mostly just naive gestures of presumed Towny affinity. I see (sadly) this was vindicated in the cases of Inner Stickler and Romanic. @ Special Ed - I'd like to hear what you think Snacks are for, and how you choose recipients. And, speaking of Special Ed: Here's a current player list with claims so far.... 2. Mr. Special Ed, Daphne, Kidnap VictimYou use color blue, but did you actually claim Town? Or just hope we'd assume that Daphne is so sweet and innocent she must be a good girl? You did write "Scum can control my vote" and never answered how they would "control" your vote. I wonder if there's another message board somewhere where you're chortling "perhaps I might have written 'strongly influence'". ;D

Why do you think this? as i mentioned in my earlier post. three people were gone after Night 2. so it seems that there may be at least two more vigs, the first one being archangel. i realize now that there are other roles that can also do that. by the way, here's a recipe for you: African Violet Cocktail15ml / 0.5 fl oz white creme de cacao 15ml / 0.5 fl oz blue curacao 15ml / 0.5 fl oz whiskey
