Ok, that's the decorations up, the tree completely decked out, the extra lights on the desk and ...and...Rick, you're not wearing your hat.
I'm not wearing the Santa hat, it's ridiculous.
But it's great for the ratings.
It's not great for my dignity.
Neither is attaching a sprig of mistletoe to your belt.
...it was the christmas party and I was completely rat-arsed, alright. Give me the hat and don't mention a word of that to anyone, otherwise you'll be spending the next series of Wedlock playing it instead producing it.
Hi, I'm your host, Rick Rothman and welcome to Wedlock in our run up to Christmas. It's time to find out who amongst our contestants will be singing carols and who will be collecting their coppers at the pearly gates.
And I'm hearing that one lucky person has got out of being dressed up like one of Santa's elves and forced to sing "Hark the Herald Angel's Sing". I think we can all agree that death is a small price to pay for that.
So, Linda, the scoreboard if you please.
The scoreboard is shown with the cross, decorated with tinsel across that of moodymitchy, the border around it blue.
Moodymitchy was a member of the blue team.
And there we go, and now for a rousing chorus from our contestants on Wedlock.
Day will end on Fri 23rd Dec at 8pm GMT

Farewell, Moodymitchy. So another single death Night plus a single death with the lynch implies that sinjin probably was telling the truth about her gadget (or perhaps, some other scum has the gadget and shared the information during their strategizing at Night), but it was possible for it to be used on sinjin herself. This goes back into my thoughts on Day 5: If we had that high of a number of scum at the outset, it would sort of imply that they know to whom they're linked, since none of the NKs have taken out scum along with Blue Team. At the very least, it'd make it an extraordinary coincidence that none of them have gone off in the NKs. I'm really hoping that isn't the case. Out of 24 players, we've lost 11 Blue Team and only caught 1 Red Team, plus our unaligned third party. Even our sole Red Team hit with the lynch had been the direct target, not the linked partner. It's always only been Blue Team dying from NK, yet you'd think the scum would have hit somebody linked to one of them by now. So is it luck, knowledge on their part, or an extremely small Red Team? There's also the possibility that sinjin is telling the truth about her gadget but is still scum. In which case the night with only one kill wasn't the result of them going after me, but of them finally taking out someone linked to scum...whom she'd disconnected. Now, we've killed two Red Team and we know that there most likely is a gadget that cuts the connection. I'm glad I made a claim yesterDay since it pushed sinjin to claim as well, giving us valuable information. We can assume that single deaths are the result of the scum having separated themselves from their partners, cutting down their chances of being accidentally killed by their own NKs. With so few players left and a gadget like that in play, we'll have reduced chances of getting scum with the scattershot method. If we lynch a townie by mistake, chances are good sinjin (or whoever really had that gadget) has already disconnected any scum from their partners. It seems likely that we'll have to get the scum themselves or not at all. And with how low our numbers are now, we can't afford to be wrong. I'd caution against kneejerk voting. Let's really discuss this and be careful. I worry we're close to losing.

Did moodymitchy claim something? If not, I'm a little surprised at his death.
(CIAS' comment in the N5 thread about the game is still on intrigues me. Could we have had a 2 scum team and two third parties, one a survivor and one a serial killer? In which case we're still hunting for the serial killer.

You're thinking a serial killer is the cause of the alternating double deaths and single deaths at night? I assume you don't believe my or sinjin's gadgets exist, then. How do you explain her singleton lynch without her gadget existing?

Slow down there, pardner. I was throwing out a possible scenario and I haven't really been keeping track of what nights 1 person has died and what nights have had 2 deaths. But, we lynched a scum, CIAS said the game's not over yet and there was only one death last night. I don't see where gadgets come into this specific scenario at all. (Other than various snipping and protecting gadgets could be affecting NKs but I don't have any information beyond the mod posts for that.)

OK.
I'm not seeing much evidence of a Serial Killer, and I'd be astonished if there isn't at least one Scum player still alive - it would be spectacular gastardity, on a level that I don't think is likely in this game. My win condition is unambiguous: if all Red Team players are dead, I win. A Serial Killer with an exclusive win condition doesn't really fit into this, and most certainly Stickler's proposal - that all the Red Teamers could be dead right now, doesn't. If that were the case, the game would be over, and Blue Teamers would have won.
Special Ed is driving me crazy. He's acknowledging having soft claimed, but also claims to have, I guess, been trying a gambit - he says he was trying to draw a Night kill, which... I don't know. Why? He's also specifically and deliberately giving us as little to work with as possible in terms of analyzing his actions and motives - witness his vote, toward the end of yesterDay, for scathatch. Why? I can fill in potential motivations for the vote, sure. But that's what makes it so infuriating - because a hypothetically Scummy Ed can coast on this forever and ever, relying on us to fill in the blanks that he leaves unfilled, never having to really commit to an argument or an approach, knowing that we will second- and third-guess ourselves about him because it's a "playstyle." Mm. I dunno.

Oh - OOG:
I am going to Disney World! I'm leaving on Friday morning, just before our Dusk, and will not be back until Saturday, December 31. I'll have some, very limited computer time while I'm down there, but my Day 7 participation will be very, very limited.

Despite her constant claims that my reasoning is "weak," I'm actually comfortable with the vote I've had on Lightfoot and haven't seen anything to change my mind as of yet, so.
Vote: Lightfoot

He's contributed very little to the game. And what he has contributed is just vague suspicion of me.
granted, I probably deserve that, but there's been very little else, so why that?

With 9 player left in the game And only 2 votes this late in the Day this does not bode well.
I’m still convinced that SisC is scum and have consistently voted for her lynch.
At this time I think lynching the wrong player could be our undoing. I know I am the wrong player to lynch.
IIRC SisC first started voting me because of something storyteller typed (which I refuted as off base= made no difference though)
As the vote stands now I will Vote: storyteller on the chance that no other voters make it here before EOD
Yes, a bit of self preservation is in this vote. Yes,IF the game progresses before EOD I may change it

I have no idea what is going on.... I need a reread... but wont have time for one ubtil saturday... which is after this Day...
I have a note from myself here that says that I'm suspicious of Storyteller.... but I can't remember why for the life of me.....
Sorry... I'm jut not with it this game... between being on leave and having the tiny all day, the holidays, and being sucked into Skyrim.... I don't have the mindset to figure this out.... I have cleaning to do tomorrow before visitors arrive for Christmas... will attempt a rered when the cleaning is done... if not, then it will be Saturday.... If the game is still on and I am still alive...
Oh ...

Ok, I'm willing to give PWIAG and Caerie a town pass for starting the wagon on Sinjin yesterday. (although I've gotta try this voting from discovered post-its method ) I'm wavering between voting Lightfoot or SisterC at the moment. I'm not loving the complete lack of justification that people are giving for the storyteller vote. He's been away a lot, so it looks like people looking to put a safe vote where it won't be questioned too much. Also, Inner's not knowing whether or not moodymitchy had claimed, or what the cases against people were is coming across like skimming. But then, given the time of year, it may be justifiable.

What the hell is this? If it was scum, wouldn't it make more sense to lie and say it isn't a one time power? Maybe suggest it can be used like a doctor role? He just told us all he can be lynched. If he was scum, wouldn't it make more sense for him to lie and say he was third party because we'd avoid lynching him til the end? And to suggest it can be used like a doctor role. Something discussed on the Scum Board? I don't like how Lightfoot jumped all over this. I thought it was fairly obvious that we were arguing and I was parroting Caerie's words back at her to show that her reasoning could be used for anything. I may be pit bulling this but I still Vote: Sistercoyote @ SisC feel free to OMGUS me ( per yesterDay’s comment) If we are both Town ( which I doubt) hopefully there is a Scum collar attached This is just ...weird.

You still are convinced SisterCoyote is scum, but you're going to vote storyteller because he made a case against you? You state that lynching the wrong player could be our downfall, but still don't vote for the person you think is most likely scum? vote Lightfoot

What... the hell? Three votes out of the blue, nearly at random? On Day 6?
@ed - What a bizarre post and argument. The post I just made about you, toDay, is the first time I've really focused on you at all. I don't know how to refute the idea that I haven't contributed otherwise, except to say that it's a blatantly untrue statement that can be disproved by running a twenty-second post search on my name.
@lightfoot & @paul - I don't know how to respond to your votes, because you haven't explained them in any way.
Actually, this sucks. I'm leaving for the day in about two hours - I'm going to Disney World! - and I won't be back on much until Saturday or Sunday.
So here's the deal:
I'll vote Special Ed because his vote for me is just entirely bullshit from top to bottom.
Then I'll unvote Special Ed and vote Lightfoot because she hasn't made one single vote in this entire game that was backed by any kind of reasoning, up to and including the one on me toDay. I don't know that she's Scum, but I know I' m not.
I'd rather lynch Ed, though. He's using his playstyle as an excuse to say and do things that would get anyone else lynched - post votes with no justification, outright mischaracterize the actions of others, provide minimal content to be judged or assessed - and we've let him get away with it to our detriment.
I will try to check in one last time from the New Jersey Turnpike and see how things have progressed.

Oh, and I have nothing to claim, just in case that becomes relevant.

That was Not the way I read it , so it was not obvious to me. Now that you have given me your perspective, it could have been what happened. At the time of my vote the vote was tied 1-1 Few players had made much of - if any- comments on the Day I didn’t want to be the first player to reach majority. If I had voted sisC then I was setting myself up to reach majority first ( as I expected that atleast one player would make it in for the vote ) I thought it would be obvious ( but as we see above, what is obvious to one is not obvious to another)

OOG: I've ended up having far less time to play since the family arrived than I had anticipated. My apologies.
We have at a minimum one scum left and no more than four, assuming their win con is to be equal with or outnumber town. At nine players left, the game would be over with five scum. So, 1-4.
If we go worst case scenario, four scum is more than enough to push a lynch through with only five townies left and several of us not voting yet. Because of this, I'm very concerned about the speed behind the storyteller votes.
I'd been suspicious of Lightfoot before, but I'd also started eyeing Sister Coyote, so I'm reluctant to vote there.
Argh. I'm going to try to reread everything I can and get a vote in before Day's end, but I'm not happy.

I hope this is not game over
From what I’ve gleaned we have a good chance that the Scum have severed most if not all of their collars, so I most likely will not be taking a red collar out with me.
I can claim to be plain old blue team with no gadgets But it seems that’s not going to make any difference at this point.

I really don't know here. I'm leaning towards storyteller as looking scummier, but the way the votes have gone down just really doesn't sit well with me at all. Hell, if we've got four scum left, they could easily be split between voting for the both of them and they could both be town and we're just merrily being pushed along.
Sigh.
I know it does no good, but I just can't shake the feeling we're being railroaded here.

what makes you think we're at lylo? Cuz there are 9 players and we've only killed 2 scum. So there could be 2 or 3 scum players still out there. If 3, then a mislynch today and a double kill in the night means scum are equal with town Tomorrow and game over.
