AND DAY EIGHT DAWNED
THE GROUP GATHERED FOR THE DAWN OF DAY EIGHT. THE GENERALIZED ANXIETY THAT HAD HUNG IN THE AIR NOW SEEMED NEARLY OVERWHELMING, AS ALL PRESENT FELT THAT THEY HAD ENTERED THE FINAL STAGES OF THIS BLOODY GAME.
THE MORNING BROUGHT THREE EVENTS OF NOTE:
THEY FOUND THE FIRST BODY IN HIS ROOM, SURROUNDED BY THE SMELL OF VODKA AND RAGE. HIS THROAT HAD BEEN SLICED NEATLY FROM EAR TO EAR, GIVING HIM THE APPEARANCE OF A GHASTLY GRIN BENEATH HIS NEATLY TRIMMED GOATEE.
Hoopy Frood, AKA Mikhail Rasputin, a Pro-Town Mason (Special), has joined his brother in the cold embrace of death (get it, because it's cold in Russia, which is where the Rasputins are... oh, never mind).
BUT THE SECOND BODY THEY FOUND IN THE CORRIDORS, INTERRUPTED IN THE COURSE OF SOME INSIDIOUS ERRAND. TO DESCRIBE HAWKEYEOP AS "TORN TO PIECES," WOULD BE GENEROUS, BUT THEY HAD NO DIFFICULT DISCERNING THE THICK BLUE FUR THAT MADE HIM FAMILIAR, THE MEDALLION THAT MARKED HIM AS A HORSEMAN, OR THE THREE BLACK VIALS, TWO EMPTY, THAT HE HAD USED TO SPREAD THE LEGACY VIRUS.
hawkeyeop, AKA Dark Beast, a Scum Special and the Horseman of Plague, is dead.
FINALLY, SOMETHING FURTHER. WITHOUT ANY FANFARE, INTO THEIR MIDST WALKED A PERSON TERRIBLY FAMILIAR TO ALL OF THEM. HEAD HELD HIGH, DIGGITCAMARA RETURNED TO THE GROUP, AND IF THERE WAS AN EXPLANATION, HE HELD IT IN ABEYANCE FOR THE MOMENT.
Diggitcamara has returned to the game!
-------
Day Eight begins now, and will end on Friday of the coming week at approximately 1:00PM EST. Happy lynching!

Hi everybody! I'm ba-ack!
This seems to be a good news/bad news kinda deal, though. I'm allowed to kill someone at the end of this Day. I will, however, die at the end of it.
So, what I'd like to propose is a secondary vote (in bolded orange), which, at the end of the Day, will determine who will be incinerated.
Who's with me?

DC: Do you have any clue as to why you're back? Well: 1. From the get-go there were many hints as to hidden powers I possessed (full role to be posted later). The actual powers I had were... underwhelming 2. As soon as I knew my role (Jean Grey) I guessed I'd either have immunity to one kill or some kind of resurrection. I even PM'd storyteller, jokingly, though I didn't get a reply 3. When I died the color hinted at a resurrection 4. The actual PM I received told me I was going to be back with increased powers on the morning of Day 8 ;D

Welcome to the game; you are Jean Grey Vital Statistics REAL NAME: Jean Grey ALIGNMENT: Town GENERIC: Limited Immunity YOU LOOK LIKE THIS: samsmarvelloussite.com/Jean_Grey.jpg YOU WIN WITH THE TOWN WHEN: All scum have been eliminated, and there is no chance of a solo win for any third-party element, whether you are alive or not. Background In the great pantheon of mutants great and small, you once ranked among - or perhaps atop - the list of the most powerful. You were a telepath, the rival of Charles Xavier or any other, and your command of your powers was unquestioned. The same could not always be said of your control over them. Although you fell solidly on the side of the metaphorical angels through years with the X-men, you struggled with the ramifications of unbridled power. Then you, regrettably, died, which while it would have stopped most mutants was no match for your power (nor for the cosmic entity that possessed and amplified you). You have, from time to time, come within a few heartbeats of... well, you know... ending all existence. Which would almost certainly have been bad. Well, enough is enough. Knowing that few forces in heaven or earth could possibly constrain you, you have decided to turn to one that can: yourself. You have erected bindings, of immeasurable power, locking in your own power for all time. As a side benefit, no one can get in either: no one will be poking about, fiddling about, or taking control of your mind so long as your barriers are in place. Before you did this, however, you made a command decision. You know your old friend Wolverine is among this group; you have always been able to sense his presence. You don't know the nature of his disguise, nor his alignment, but you do know that he is very dangerous when he feels threatened. You have decided to place a psychic block on him, preventing him from doing violence to another. As long as you are alive and holding his leash, he will be unable to kill. Absent that leash... well, who knows? So. As a result of your voluntary restriction of your own power, you will be less helpful to your friends and comrades than you once had been. But you are still a brilliant woman, and have many years of experience with the mutants among whom you find yourself; you will endure. And if there's a voice, a tiny voice, a voice that sounds like yours but isn't, niggling, itching, whispering, tapping patiently at the barriers you've painstakingly erected? Ignore it. You don't need it. Yet. Good luck! Powers 1. You are completely immune to any sort of telepathic abilities. Exciting, huh?

A little analysis:
I've divided those living into a few groups according to certainty about their towniness. While I am pretty sure I'm town, I've opted not to color me blue as I can't really prove it to the rest of you guys.. Now that we've found all four horsemen, NAF lists are useless.
Uncertain pool: Almost Human - Gambit chucara - Shadowcat (Watcher) FCOD - Longshot Mhaye - Wolverine
The Pollux Oil group: bufftabby - Multiple Man peekercpa - Archangel (Town miller) Pollux Oil - Toad (Investigator)
The confirmed group: CatInASuit - Sebastian Shaw (Scum Strongman) diggitcamara - Jean Grey (Town Special) misterblockey - Magik (Mason)
The Pollux Oil group naturally depends on the truthfulness of PO, who might still be third party. Assuming that PO is town, we need to find out more about the people in the first pile.
I have a nagging feeling that something bad'll happen when we lynch CiaS - so perhaps it would be a good choice for DC to take with him to the grave..
Finally, does anyone have an opinion on whether those in the first group should fully claim? I'm in the group, but have already claimed, so I won't offer any opinions.
And even more finally, do we think there is a Mr. Sinister out there? And do we think there are more third parties we want to find before ending the game? I really have no idea right now, but I have a feeling that Mr. Sinister is still hiding somewhere..

I agree with you up to a point but I think you should include in your list of possible Sinisters PO and DC though I think it's unlikely to be either of them we can't know for certain. Diggit Camera says he'll die toDay anyway so I think it's worth leaving him for now. Pollux Oil seems town and his information's been accurate as far as we know so I'm not keen on getting rid of him. Same goes for Chucara. MHaye, I think is the one who took out Hawk judging from Diggit's role pm so that looks pretty town to me. I seem to be painting myself into a corner here but I think the most likely Sinisters are myself or FCOD. As I know I'm not him then I'd vote for FCOD if it came to the crunch but I haven't really seen anything much that stands out particularly. Right now though we've got one definite scum still here. CIAS is still very much alive and doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon. I see your point about him maybe doing something bad if we lynch him but I don't think we should keep him about too long. I'd be for DC taking him out too. And yes I think there's a Sinister out there - my role pm pretty much confirmed it as did NAF's. I will post the rest of my pm if everyone wants but once I do it'll be pretty useless so I'm holding back for the time being.

Well, that was good.
Peeker, I'm gonna need your help...
We know the source of the Legacy virus now, and we know that two people have been infected. I can't remember who it was that obviously died from being sick, but I remember it was someone. Now I've been infected. If someone else would like to claim they have also been infected, we know either they or I am lying.
Anyway, I think 100% that DC should take CIaS down with him toDay. I have a very bad feeling about what a CIaS lynch would do so DC killing him would be a great way to bypass any such risk.
I'm going to wait to hear from Pollux before placing a vote.

I'm hoping Pollux picked one from the uncertain pile, so we can atleast narrow the selection a bit. FCOD was pinging me slightly earlier, and I had a slight suspiscious of Mhaye as well. Almost human has been a no-tell for me almost all game.
From those not in the limelight, what are your opinions on a mass claim? And finally, how many third parties do we think are out there?

Before I forget:
vote CatInASuit
Just thought of something.. Are we really certain that DC is still town? Or this some clever ruse to get town to mislynch by not selecting CiaS? To me, it seems off, knowing that story doesn't like recruiting.. Then he probably doesn't like alignment changes on revival either.

Sorry for the triple post, but just a quick question to our remaining Mason, misterblockey:
Can you confirm or deny that the demise of hawkeyeop had anything to do with Hoopys death? He mentioned something about your powers being triggered by which of you was killed first?

Well, if I remember it correctly, storyteller disliked the option of recruitment because it meant that after working for a long time in favor of one team, that work would by itself make that player lose. Making someone work for the opposite side after having been killed by them, would be worse, IMHO.

Woot woot. DC if still town takes out CIAS. There has got to be a godfather type and/or a third party left. Where would that kind of player be living? Under the radar. Let's see what PO comes up with. After that we string someone who is middle of the road and is just not quite vocal enough for my likings.
Any fucking chance that my PMs get answered
Ain't working through the normal channels, so what the hey.

hawkeyeop's death may well have had something to do with Hoopy's death, I'm not sure. If it did then we'd misinterpreted the role pm he was given, but it does fit.
I definitely think that DC should take out CatInASuit so Vote CatInASuit
Hoopy's death does mean that my extra power is quite active though.

Unfortunately, once again I investigated a guy that turned up dead in the morning. I'm not really liking this trend. I'm also in agreement that Diggit should take out CatinaSuit. There's no telling what kind of nasty surprise Cat might have if we lynch him. Vote CatinaSuitMHaye, I think is the one who took out Hawk judging from Diggit's role pm so that looks pretty town to me. Be careful, this is a trap I and others fell into in the Gastard game with bufftabby. She did in two scumbags in broad daylight, so people were checking her in the townie column when she was really third-party playing town. If Mhaye did take out Hawkeye, he's pretty much not scum but that doesn't guarantee 100% he's town.

The two people who died toNight: 1. hawkeyeop--reckoned to be scum, by just about everybody 2. Hoopy Frood--self-outed mason (not questioned by... just everybody) Why are you investigating known quantities?

Another thought:
1. Our redirector "purpled" Pollux Oil before his demise 2. Our redirector mostly, if not always, redirected other people's actions on to themselves 3. Sometimes, however, he redirected an action onto himself 4. Having redirected someone's supposed investigative action, he might very well have directed it at himself 5. Our redirector died... But he left evidence as to whose action he redirected!
I could easily see our scum faction being defined this way:
1. One scum Player may kill each Night 2. However, any additional powers are forfeited for that Night 3. During the Night our redirector died I died as well (Viral infection), but it seems that our redirector was the actual target of that Night's killing
Thus, our friend, the possible scum Investigator, has been killing instead of investigating for a couple of Nights now (because the other roles: blocker and "poisoner" were critical for their success). He has no results for his investigations, understandably so because he's the only available hand to kill town.
Any flaws in my logic?

Diggit, I have had some thoughts along the same lines. It seems strange that Pollux continues to be un-targetted at Night. Sure, the scum could be trying to create some WiFoM by not killing him, but I've been having some uncertainties about PO since about Day 6. Perhaps he has no new results because the real investigator for his team has already been killed.
Forgive me for not wanting to hunt for your original role claim, chucara, but when you target someone to Watch, you only find out who targetted them, but not who your target targets, is that correct?
