Having felt a tickle in her sweet tooth,
maggiebloome decided to step out of her home to go to Mrs. Crabtree's Bed, Breakfast, and Aquarium for a late night snack. The old woman was always up at odd hours of the evening, she never seemed to go to sleep in fact, and it was with much delight that
maggiebloome later made her way home, an ice cream cone in her hand.
"Mmmmm, chocolate!" she said to herself, taking her first lick of cold, chocolatey goodness.
Suddenly, a dark shape dropped from above to land in front of her, startling her.
"Who are you?" she asked, her heart in her throat.
A gravely voice replied from the darkness, "I'm Batman."

In the morning the villagers would find her in a puddle, melted ice cream near her face and a crushed cone still held in her dead hand. No other bodies were found that morning. The rain is so bad that it drives everyone inside the Innsmouth Masons Lodge in order to stay dry.

roles still unknown/unclaimed:

VOTE STARRYSHADOW
Vigilante is now going for: Stride. Sorry, you're next on the list.
urbanwolfie: Did you use your potion last night? If so, on whom - and if you did, you should poison someone tonight. Chelleann77: Protecting me tonight is probably the best bet, guaranteeing that I get a kill tomorrow night as well before the cultist can get me.
What this means:
4 known good.
Today: We lynch Starryshadow, I kill Stride, doctor poisons... Reyl, because he's next on the list. Bodyguard protects me, meaning most likely either Doctor or Bodyguard dies to the cultists.
Tomorrow: We lynch one person and I kill one. The Cultist then kills me because duh.
The Day After Tomorrow:
Survivors:
Doctor OR Bodyguard
Thrill-Killer
Snoopy
2 villagers
3-2, "known goods" lynch a villager. That night, Doctor/Bodyguarddies.
The Day After The Day After Tomorrow:
Snoopy and the Thrill-Killer lynch the last unknown.
So, *assuming* we miss the cultist at every step of the way, it's mathematically impossible for the villagers to lose this one unless they actively start working against their own interests.
*Power slides away as the bass solo begins*
Same goes for
Of course, you can lynch or murder whoever you like.
We no longer have a private investigator to help us figure this out. We have self-proclaimed specials, which leaves us lowly plain villagers to fend for ourselves.
We are 1 for 2 now with our lynchings. One had a robe, one did not. And the robe was, quite frankly, freaking spooky. The robes are definitely the key!
I hereby suggest that we investigate the home of
In addition, Reyl has shifty eyes and smiles wayyyy too much to be up to anything good.
*gets off soapbox*
What time zone are you in?
(Yes, yes, you very well might not be available by the time you see this question)
thrillkiller, vigilante, and doctor should ALL announce targets to avoid overlap kills tonight.
vigilante theweaselking has announced stride as a target
thrillkiller sylvan has made no posts yet
doctor urbanwolfie has made no posts yet
bodyguard chelleann77 should protect vigilante theweaselking tonight
12 alive, 5 known good, 1 cultist
lynch someone at random, 1/7 chance we get the cultist
bodyguard announces protection of vigilante
cultist kills bodyguard or doctor
doctor poisons, 1/6 chance we get the cultist
(can he poison if he's targeted? assume yes)
vigilante kills, 1/5 chance we get the cultist
(may require doctor/vigilante coordination)
Vote
vote abstain
If you abstain, you've got a 50/50 chance.
I think voting for starryshadows may be a mistake. I'm going to let my vote stay however, because I think it would be a bad idea to turn it around now.
The first vote for starryshadows was a (misspelled) vote from Flowen, who IS NOT AN OUTED SPECIAL.
No cultist is ever going to start the vote for themselves. Therefore following unknown people is a bad, bad idea.
My question for theweaselking is, did you see Flowen's vote when you posted yours? Or was that done independently?
ONLY OUTED SPECIALS should lead votes. Outed specials should NOT follow the lead of an unknown villager.
From here on out, ANYONE who votes BEFORE an outed special votes is going to go on my suspicion list immediately.
Sylvan cast around nervously at all the villagers, eyes twitching. Clearly he was deciding whom to take with him.
VOTE Starryshadows
Any coherent thoughts on who the body gaured should protect? You should give me an option cause I'm not a fan of taking orders and I do like to make up my own mind. Pick your best two and tell me why.
