Yes I roll my eyes. I know I'm not the trap killer, and I know I am not scum, so your thing sucks anyway.

Believe me, I don't like that the person claimed to me, How exactly do you want to spin it so I am suspicious because someone claimed to me?

You seem to have a guilty conscience to make the assumptions you're making. What I said was that it was possible that one of you was a duped townie, why do you assume that can't be you, unless you want to admit something?

As for spinning it, I'm not at all. You have to admit that no protector in their right mind would do that, so if it actually happened, it makes them suspicious. It just makes you a little stupid to believe such a thing without any chance of it making sense.

Is that a black cat? *runs in terror*

I tend to ignore baseless accusations that are just trying to nitpick at how much someone chatters or not. I always find it interesting that you furs pick on the smelly garbage bear when there are several other people who don't roll around in the street shouting and talking in circles. You wouldn't focus on our mayor because he's a big handsome lion, yet he has said less than me. No, always picking on poor Booker.  

Not to mention, our Mayor has been away for a third of this crisis (likely off gathering supplies to make the table, when you all eat me! ), whereas you've been here from the start.

I find it amusing that Mindy popped in to try and accuse me of being inactive too, when she has said pretty much nothing else all day. That sort of "reasoning" makes even this uneducated garbage bear cringe.   I could point to Gilda too, who popped in just now to place a vote and not say very much else.

I find it amusing that you clearly didn't pay attention to what I said (probably because you're so fixated on consuming my flesh! ). It had little to do with how much has been said today, but rather how much overall. Maybe go back and read it sometime, and come back to me.

Now, on to Ralphy. As I've previously stated, I've found Raphly's behaviour odd. His odd behaviour has only increased of late, as I can't fathom why God would tell him that someone else is a tree stump, as opposed to telling the tree stump in question. Vote: Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88). It should be noted that Poncho and Bridget both voted for Raphly whilst stating there were no other leads, despite several people being questioned at the time.

I'd also like to add, to everyone who thinks I'm acting weird and aggressive and trying to sidetrack the case against Ralphy:
If I've acted aggressive, I apologize, that was not my intention.
I was not trying to sidetrack anything, but it seemed to me it would be a good idea to look at other options than just running down a set path all day.
I may be a timid mouse, but I'm trying to be less of a timid mouse. I can go back to being a timid mouse if you all prefer that . Or I can tell you the story of Timmy Timid, who never spoke a word, and ... blablabla ....

I commend you for what you did though, re-evaluating the past day's events and looking for anything that could be deemed suspicious. That's good townie behaviour.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I shall eat: mushrooms (delicious).

Oh, and Vote: Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88). He's just seemed suspicious to me for a while now, with the things he's said and how he's acted, particularly his casual, "oh, let's just go with it" attitude to being voted for. It seems one could make more effort to overturn a vote for themselves if they truly are townie. His voting pattern kind of throws me off too, rallying against Casey Cat day 1 and 2, then switching out to jump on the band-wagon, it just seems off to me. The days not over yet though, so I'll review the other candidates as well.

You seem to want it out in the open, whereas I acknowledge there may be good reasons for Pennie to trust Gibson. What I don't understand is why, if it's sensitive information, he does feel the need to declare publicly that he's going to talk to Gibson privately. If he's a Villager, he's only giving the Cultists more information.

Then you misunderstand me. My intentions were the same as yours, to discern why Pennie trusts Gibson over anyone else.

JimButcher, on 01 September 2012 - 09:18 AM, said:

You still haven't answered my question. So I'll ask again: why are you telling Gibson Goat? What is his connection?

I wasn't asking you to explain. Trust me, I've listened, and I've stated my suspicions. And I stand by them.

I haven't told the Goat anything specific. Theres no connection, but Gibson Goat was enquiring for specific answers and I don't have reason to suspect her, so I answered her in private.

Now for cupcakes, I baked all you prospectus votees a cake for you to eat tonight. Vote Pennie. I remember back in the old day, cupcakes were a common thing of the past. Back when I managed the village as Police Chief, Fire Chief, Judge and the Department of Motor Vehicles and Mayor!

It should be noted.
The mouse is twisting my words.
I never meant that.

I meant that since yesterday I said we could learn Ralphy's alignment by convicting Carly (they seemed to be in cahoots), it is no longer possible because Carly's body was swept away. So my vote was based only on how Ralphy has behaved, his odds statements and voting strategy.

I never intended to say there were no other possible suspects, because it's obvious there are. However, I feel the most comfortable sticking to my own suspicions. If Ralphy turns out innocent, then I will probably shift my eyes on Pennie, who I already voted for on Day One.

But this talk is too serious to my liking. Why don't we discuss the history of erotic poetry for a change? I've been gobbling up ancient poems from Lesbos all day, and suddenly I see all the women in this town in a different light. You too, Mindy...

Nei-he-heigh! Poor choice of words... <scoffs back some more shrooms>

[CallMePie]

Sorry, that diagnosis took far longer than I expected. And the results were far from accurate.  

I'm going to Vote: Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88).  His defense is nonexistent, and his message to Ernie makes no sense. Penny might be a good lead for tomorrow, though.

I read somewhere that liquid fabric softener neutralizes the chemical that makes our clothes flame-retardant. My clothes may be stiff, but at least I'm retardant!

As I said earlier, our suspicion of Ralphy must not be tied to Carly's Janitoring, whether or not everyone thinks that she was scum. The intention of a janitoring is to confuse the Town into making the wrong decision, and the way things are going right now, that may well have been what happened.
As I watched the day unfurl, several things stuck out to me, including Ralphy's very odd role-claim? The strangest thing about it is that it turned out to be false almost immediately, and that's what's driving my suspicions towards him right now. Furthermore, I wonder why Ernie was the one informed of this. I hold no illusions that Ralphy signaling him out makes them both scum, but the opposite might be true. If Ralphy is Scum, that may mean Erny's town, because the scum would likely target a Townie with such a claim for obvious reasons.
Similarly, I was also surprised by the other rumor of a role-claim. Pennie and Gordon seemed tied to each other from the start, both contesting for the credit of lynching Petey, who turned out town, and both falling silent yesterday to some extent. It's interesting that Casey and Ralphy were linked for both not responding to Lynches focused on them, while all but a select few practically ignored the shared behavior of Pennie and Gordon. Which brings me to the role-claim, or at least, that's what it seems to be. Out of the blue, this happens:

I'll speak to you in the corner.

She's claimed something. Very subtly.  

So Gordon and Pennie behaved similarly, and seemingly 'trusted' each other without having communicated, but now that people have noticed, Pennie comes out somewhat privately about how important she is. As a dog, I generally don't smell fish, but I imagine this is what it smells like. I'm disastrously pressed for time so I’ll Vote: Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88) and talk more later.

Hi there treestump, you're looking both convenient and inconvenient today. Treestumps are inanimate right?

[Hinckley]

Eeep! I think my underpants have burnt up completely! Oh wait, I didn't wear any today.

Mod note: If your vote is set, please feel free to get your Night Action in early. Otherwise, the deadline will be the usual 24 hours from the close of the day. Thank you.

Maybe I'll sleep in the yard with the sprinkler on me all night.

Day Three has come to a close. With 16 votes, Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88) will be lynched.

The sun is setting on a long day for Winter Haven. The happy and adorable citizens are pleased with themselves for discussing suspicions all day and think they made a lot of progress there. However, they stuck with their original and greatest suspicion Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88) and are currently wheeling him to the Village Square in his own wheelbarrow.

Firuz Fox is setting up some sage-burning torches in hopes to ward off evil spirits for the night.

"Hello everyone," he says, noncommittally.

"Why me?" Ralphy Rabbit hollars at the lynch mob, "I told you to forget all that Scummy stuff I said earlier! What's left?"

"Well, you asked us not to kill you," Someone points out.

"Yeah," Someone else agrees. "You told us not to lynch you just because you don't want to be lynched. That's pretty Scummy!"

"I would like a peanut butter sandwich!" another person shouts.

"Well, who here wants to be lynched?" Ralphy Rabbit asks.

The lynch mob keeps their collective mouth shut. They know this is a trick question.

"Nobody, huh?" Ralphy Rabbit asks, "Then shouldn't you all be lynched? If the only reason to lynch me is because I said I don't want to be lynched and none of you want to be lynched..."

"We get it!" yet another someone answers, rolling their eyes.

"Here Ralphy," Firuz hands him a mug. "Have some hot cocoa. It'll comfort and calm you."

"Thank you," Ralphy says, drinking from the mug.

"Um, Ralphy..." Ernie Elephant tries to interrupt but Ralphy has a bit more confidence now.

"Listen all of you," Ralphy shouts. "I'm not Scum. But the only proof I have is that I don't want to be lynched. So just forget everything I've said and just let me live because I want..."

The poison in Ralphy's cup takes effect quickly. He goes rigid and falls into the river.

"My Ralphy! The love of my leeeew gross, he's in the water," Ernie Elephant stays high up on the river bank. "Um...bye sweetie! Love you! Miss you! Ew, look at all that water. Freaky."

"Wow, what were the chances he would fall for the same trick?" someone asks.

"I guess he really wasn't paying attention," Firuz answers.

Ralphy's body floats along the river bank as the citizens of Winter Haven head to Gibson's Tavern to relieve the stress of killing friends...

Day Three is now over. Please get your Night Actions in ASAP. As usual, you have 24 hours to get them to me. Late Night Actions will not be accepted.
