IT WAS NOT A RESTFUL NIGHT
IN THE AFTERMATH OF THEIR HURRIED LYNCH OF THE REAPER, THERE WAS MUCH FORCED JOLLITY. SOME SHARED STORIES - AND SOME SHARED STORIES THAT FRANKLY PUT UATU OFF HIS LUNCH, BECAUSE POOP IS NEVER SEXY - WHILE OTHERS SIMPLY WAITED, PATIENTLY, FOR THE DAWN.
THE MORNING FOUND THEM DOWN, AGAIN, BY ONE. HE LAY, TORN APART AS THE REST OF THEM HAD BEEN THAT DIED AT NIGHT, ADMID A SEA OF STOLEN NOTEBOOKS, JOURNALS, COMPUTER FILES, AND PERSONAL BELONGINGS. IN HIS HAND WAS THE DIARY OF THE LATE SEBASTIAN SHAW. A BRIGHT RED EXCLAMATION POINT HAD BEEN DRAWN ON ONE OF THE PAGES BY THE DECEASED, BUT THE JOURNAL WAS WRITTEN IN A DENSE CODE, AND SADLY, THE ONLY MUTANT CAPABLE OF DECIPHERING THAT CODE WAS THE ONE WHOSE BLOOD NOW POOLED AROUND IT.
Greedy Smurf, AKA Cypher, a Pro-Town Investigator, died with his last words still unsaid.
IN A NOW-FAMILIAR DEVELOPMENT, THE ONE WHO CALLED HIMSELF NANOOK PRESENTED HIMSELF WITH SKIN THE COLOR OF AN OLD RASPBERRY.
Nanook is now purple!
------
DAY FIVE BEGINS HERE. IT WILL END AT 12:00PM EST ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, UNLESS A LYNCH OCCURS BEFORE THEN. WITH 16 ALIVE, THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS WITH NINE VOTES.

Well, at least part of Nanook's claim has passed muster. Last night, I redirected his power onto CatInA. My logic was that his action was actually a Night action, and he had been lying to us about when the zombies are anointed, if you will. Since there are no new zombies in site, we can be relatively sure that Nanook's zombie raising isn't a Night action.

Actually it is a Night Action. But I haven't raised any since Night 1.
Tonight though? Oh yes.

Wait, what?
You said you could only raise somebody if you voted for them that Day and they died that Night, didn't you?
Also, what's Tonight?

I think that, judging from the number of kills each Night so far, it seems as if there is no serial killer running amok. IIRC the only Dawn where we've seen more than one kill is when we lost a scummy bastard, which I'm assuming was Zeriel's handiwork. Not really important I guess, but an observation nonetheless.
(And I'd also like to observe that whatever piece of shit stole my prescription sunglasses out of my backpack at work last night can go die in a pit of fiery lava please. They can't even use the shit, so I'm sure they're sitting in a trashcan now. Motherfuckers. Sorry, just discovered the theft and I am oh-so-pissed.)

Wait, what? You said you could only raise somebody if you voted for them that Day and they died that Night, didn't you? Also, what's Tonight? That is how my power was originally worded. It was always a Night Action. So by the original wording the only person I could raise was that Day's lynch, and only if I voted for them. It was clarified to work on anyone I had a vote on at the end of the Day. I voted for Greedy Yesterday, so I can raise him Tonight. And yes, my power only works on people that share my world view, which is other townies, no pfks or scum.

So based on the Zeriel reveal, I think it's a reasonable assumption that FCOD and Rugger were blocked by him on nights 1 and 2.
The color in your PM's from the attacks fits with the description of the character. (I.e. Reaper used a scythe and you guys were hit by a sharp object.)

Regardless, I fucked up. It's been a couple days since I submitted the action (I submitted it as soon as the Day was over). I actually redirected his power on to Zeriel.

I voted for Greedy Yesterday, so I can raise him Tonight. What do your zombies do, exactly? I don't recall you sharing that info. You say you can raise him Tonight. Does that mean you have to submit a name via PM every Night?

I learned nothing useful tonight. Noone targetet Hoopy other than me, and he performed no night action. I've updated the lists in my signature with the latest votes and deaths.

An idea: Can we please get some votes in earlier this time.. I know that I also voted for Zeriel, but I don't think these last minute votes is really a good idea.

I know you don't take notes or look back and stuff, but this is kinda silly. I posted my (nearly) full role PM back a Day or two. The only part I left out was a weakness that could potentially lead to my death. However, since I know you hate reading back ( ), I am not required to raise anyone. Whoever I raise can send me a one shot, short message. For Tonight, I'm hoping that I survive and am not blocked, allowing me to raise Smurf, who will hopefully have some investigation results to pass along. Of course, by saying that I have a giant target on my back for blocking and/or killing. I guess we'll have to see what happens.

I can confirm that I neither performed a night action last night nor was targeted by any that I was made aware of. Speaking of, for those of you needing confirmations of anything, feel free to use your masons as you see fit. We are confirmed and expendable (like I said, we have powers, but they're not that great compared to the fact we are confirmed, so accidental deaths are worth the risk if town can get info from them). In fact, this brings up a point for Nanook. It was something I thought of yesterDay but I was under the impression that you could only raise people who died in the previous cycle. I didn't realize it was a long term thing. I have an idea on how we might be able to help get you confirmed, but I'm going to run it past blockey on the mason board first.

While we're at it, can you please humor me a bit more and answer the first part of my post? What do these zombies do? Because if it's not totally cool, I plan on redirecting you Tonight.

I didn't realize it was a long term thing. I have an idea on how we might be able to help get you confirmed, but I'm going to run it past blockey on the mason board first. If nothing else, please agree right now (you two masons) on a word that the other can confirm if one of you should die and Nanook can raise you. This way, the death of a mason will leave us with two confirmed people still, and it will be the first word of whatever you send to Nanook. - Leaving you with a good four more words. ---------------------------------- I've been pondering if the sudden vote rush again zeriel was the work of scum, but I can't really pick anything out that seems scummy. The votes were: chucara, FlyingDeadCowofGOB, Esq., mhaye, Santo Rugger, Hoopy Frood, bufftabby chucara: I know I'm town for obvious reasons. FCOD: His vote was in too early to be considered part of the stampede mhaye: This is where it starts feeling suspiscious. Santo Rugger: Could be a suspiscious vote, but given his claim and actions (no one has counterclaimed him being the purple spreader), I'm inclined to believe him. Hoopy: He's a mason bufftabby: Could be scum making sure the lynch goes to Zeriel. This beckons the question: Is DC scum and was this a last minute save? Somehow it doesn't feel like it. DC hasn't exactly been the most active voice here, so it's hard to read anything from him. And voting for a nearly-confirmed mason is a pretty strange move. Any opinions?

Well, now this is interesting. I received this from storyteller regarding my redirection. I have underlined a part of it.
That SEEMS to imply one of two things. Either Santo is lying about his power, and it's a redirector and blocker of some variant or there's another roleblocker out and about in addition to zeriel. Option one doesn't make a lot of sense, obviously, though I suppose it's not completely impossible. So that leaves option 2, a second roleblocker. The last one was town, which tells us precisely nothing about the alignment of the second one, if there is one. Anyone want to fess up to blocking me last Night?

I generally agree with your evaluation, though I'd point out even if Santo is truthful about being a redirector, it doesn't necessarily mean he is town. His feelings seemed genuine though. The vote that jumped out to me was Mhaye. Mhaye is generally a very thoughtful player, but he jumped on that train very quickly.

The only problem is that if scum kill us both one night after the other, by the time he raises the first mason, the other one won't be able to confirm. Also, scum could kill the one he doesn't vote for, and then it won't matter. The confirmation still won't happen. However, there is another way, which is why I'm running it by blockey first to see if there's any glaring problems with it.

This fits with what peeker told us before. He was blocked one night and stuck in his room, IIRC. The door was unopenable as well (different from Zerial's block text). We also know that their is an order to how actions take place. Apparently Rugger's power trumps our other blocker's.

Why do you say that hoopy? Say which? The trump part? I admit that was a bad choice of wording as was just about to correct that. (Trump implies "more powerful than" which wasn't my intent.) What I mean is that Rugger will be evaluated before the blocker. I believe it was Kat who mentioned that actions are resolved in a particular order. However, I believe Rugger is blockable by the other blocker since he was already blocked once this game by someone else.

And anyone notice how the code field still left justifies things?

I'm still quite worried that you're just making the message part up. It's just too easy to use that to try to test you while you amass your little army of zombies. I'm willing to hear others' opinions on the subject, though, before I go all Maverick on us.

Sounds to me like you didn't try to do anything last Night. I'm not a blocker in any way. How could I be both a blocker and a redirector? That doesn't even make sense. As far as option two, the "all you wanted to do in the first damn place" makes it look like UATU was just spicing up the first part of your message (assuming that was your real message, of course).
