Hinckley Posted August 23, 2011 It is a much quieter night in Moonlight. Not a creature was stirring...except for that ostrich. Down the street a ways, Petr foolishly walks through the gloomy shade of night alone. "God damn it!" Zepher says, "You may as well not waste any more time. We know I'm dying. You've showed my face." There, is that better? "Hardly." an anonymous dark figure complains, "I, Petr, am greatly annoyed by this!" Another dark figure approaches. "Oh shut up already." It says. Bang! And that is the end of Petr (Zepher). It is now the wee hours of the morning, just before dawn. Stanislav wanders the street outside Ivan's deli, disoriented. A dark figure walks up, laughing. Ratatatatatatatatat! And that is the end of Stanislav (Shadows). In the morning, Ivan sees a crowd below his balcony and assumes they are there to hear the results of yesterday's lynch. "I am having the good news, everyone!" Ivan tells them, "Donil (Waterbrick Down) was a member of The Russian Mafia. However, last night we lost Petr (Zepher) who was a member of the Town." "Ivan, I think you should come down here," The Cross-Dressing Construction Man says. Ivan comes down to the street to see a horrifying sight: his brother Stanislav (Shadows) dead on the sidewalk. Stanislav was a member of the Town. "No!!!!!!" Ivan cries. Ivan throws himself on his dear brother's body. "No, please! Not my brother!" Ivan cries. "He was such a good man! OK, so sometimes complete megablocks, but deep down such a good man!" "There must be justice for my family's blood!!" Ivan cries, "Today we must lynch a mobster!" "Lynch?" Agent Veronica asks, "I knew it! I told you countless times, no lynch mobs. But you did it anyway! It's illegal. Do you know how much trouble you can be in with the law? And I'm the law!!!" "Are you saying we use the handcuffs tonight?" Ivan offers. But Agent Veronica storms off, very angry. "Oh no," Ivan sighs, "I have hurt the feelings of young lady by not being honest about forming lynch mob to kill friends and neighbors. Will I never learn?" "Today is the day we take our town back!" Ivan says as everyone gathers around, "Now there is no day ending when voting is complete! We continue to discuss and strategize after conviction is reached! There are helpful ways for town to speak and chance to turn over conviction! No rule about unvoting after conviction is reached and no more death for no voting. That is cruel trick of Full Moon Festival. Now we use our 72 hours to find scummy bags. Still only one unvote, so make extra sure it is being used with the smart brains so we can catch mobsters! You megablocks of mothers have killed my brother and you will pay. I must find way to help town! This is meaning the war!!!" And after that rousing speech, the citizens of Moonlight, once again, begin discussing who among them is likely to be a scummy bag. Day Four has now begun.

WhiteFang Posted August 23, 2011 Stanislav, why must it be you! I am grieving for you and I am glad I took your advise and go for the scummy Donil. I am sure lots of revelations had been revealed or derived based on what happened yesterday. We ought to get rid of those lawless scumbags soon. This is so tragic, losing both Stanislav and Petr.

JimBee Posted August 23, 2011 The feck?! Donil was Mafia?! Oh, how I was completely and stupidly fooled. I'm a complete idiot. :wall: He had me going that entire time. Why oh why was I so stupid? I am sincerely sorry for my idiocy, friends. I know that because of my actions yesterday, I may be the target for today, and so be it. I have nothing to hide, I did trust Donil completely, foolishly. And now Stanislav and Petr are dead. Feck! At least, I must thank those of you who were smart enough to see through Donil's lies and smartly lynch him yesterday. I am glad we are rid of his plague, for I am sure that I would've been manipulated by him further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorneliusMurdock Posted August 23, 2011 So, we lynched the right man last night. At least we have that. We all feel for you, Ivan. It's almost like losing a part yourself, I guess. I shall not mourn my brother Donil. He got what he deserved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickdoctor Posted August 23, 2011 Hooray for lynching a scum! Not so hurray for me voting for Ruxana. Gotta stop relying on Gut Feeling... The feck?! Donil was Mafia?! Oh, how I was completely and stupidly fooled. I'm a complete idiot. :wall: He had me going that entire time. Why oh why was I so stupid? I'm in the same boat as you, but remember, if we are dealing with multiple mafias here (and even in the small chance we're not), we're not idiots unless Ruxana is Town. She looks more trustworthy now, but I don't think she's cleared. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragonator Posted August 23, 2011 God dammit. After all our efforts yesterday to go against the tide and get Donil convicted, the scum still managed to get their revenge and take out Stanislav. This is a terrible blow to our efforts, I will miss his insight. We have a tough day ahead of us everyone, we need to make sure we don't let ourselves slip. If it is true that we are indeed dealing with two Mafias, then we need to be extra vigilant. Does anyone have any new information to share? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy Posted August 23, 2011 Not so hurray for me voting for Ruxana. Gotta stop relying on Gut Feeling... Here we go, letting Ruxana off the hook... But despite these heavy losses - and in Stanislav's case it truly was heavy, since he was our Town Inventor - we have unveiled two more Mafia members thanks to Stan's last minute reveal to me. I can't help but be partially to blame for Stan's death, because I revealed his night action to the other person now confirmed to be Mafia. The other person has been very passive-aggressive, yet because of his silence, he has flown under the radar. The two people in question are Denis (def) and Dmitri (Dragonator). Our Inventor Stanislav pointed them to me saying he is 100% certain of it, and bearing the guilt of not trusting him earlier I must trust him now. Does anyone have any new information to share? Not quite the information you wanted to hear, huh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can understand why he would be suspicious of Denis, but I don't see what I've done to raise his suspicions. I can confirm though that Samuel's claim regarding Stanislav's action is correct, he was indeed our inventor. His loss is a big one for our town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KartoffelViking Posted August 23, 2011 Stanislav was truly the voice of reason, I will miss him. And I'm very happy we took out Donil. I'm now looking forward to hearing what Ruxana may have discovered during the night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quarryman Posted August 23, 2011 Ouch, losing Stanislav hurts, but at least we did get a scum yesterday. However, there is no time for mourning now, we need to keep going. We can mourn our dead once we've taken back the town. The two people in question are Denis (def) and Dmitri (Dragonator). Our Inventor Stanislav pointed them to me saying he is 100% certain of it, and bearing the guilt of not trusting him earlier I must trust him now.

Did he tell you anything about why he was 100% certain of these two? When Stanislav is alive, I understands that he is in contact with the real investigator, and I will have to take his word for it even though I was quite sceptical about it at first. But, now I got no reason of not believing in him anymore. I took a gamble and believed in him yesterday and voted for Donil, ultimately we scored a scum.

Rick Posted August 23, 2011 Well, good to see we were right about Donil. Samuel, we (at least I) realize that this doesn't clear Ruxana. It is helpful that you got the names of two potential scum from a now confirmed townie, if you are telling us the truth that is. I, too also endorses the information of what Samuel has just reveal. It's true that Stanislav is our inventor and whatever he had told me earlier, stands! Did he mention Denis and my husband's ( ) names to you as well? Too bad this success is overshadowed by the death of Stanislav and Petr. If Stanislav was indeed an inventor, we have lost yet another important night action. What's also striking is a fourth MO. Note that the gun used last night to kill Petr is not the same gun that 'Padme' used to kill the cannibal Elena (which we've only seen on night 2). Was one mafia family recruiting again last night (as on night 1 perhaps) and does this mean we've only seen the vigilante kill for the first time last night?

No, it does not clear Ruxana, but now I felt we got more important pressing matters to go after. Did he mention Denis and my husband's ( ) names to you as well? Will it helps to improve the situation? Unfortunately, your husband's name was identified. Too bad this success is overshadowed by the death of Stanislav and Petr.

Fugazi Posted August 23, 2011 We're making good progress despite our losses, two scum in as many days is a good score. Still, the appearance of a new murder weapon is worrying. The two people in question are Denis (def) and Dmitri (Dragonator). Our Inventor Stanislav pointed them to me saying he is 100% certain of it, and bearing the guilt of not trusting him earlier I must trust him now. This is possibly vital information Samuel, but an inventor is not an investigator. Please go on, we deserve a better explanation than 'Stanislav told me'.

WhiteFang Posted August 23, 2011 This is possibly vital information Samuel, but an inventor is not an investigator. Please go on, we deserve a better explanation than 'Stanislav told me'. The role of the inventor is a pro-townie role that allows one person each night to "invent" or "build" a random night action ability which will be used to pass down to someone, that was assigned by the inventor to execute the action.

Dragonator Posted August 23, 2011 When Stanislav is alive, I understands that he is in contact with the real investigator, and I will have to take his word for it even though I was quite sceptical about it at first. But, now I got no reason of not believing in him anymore. I took a gamble and believed in him yesterday and voted for Donil, ultimately we scored a scum. Did he also happen to mention that that investigator is me? I guess I may as well be open about it, since people are starting to point fingers and I've lost my only ally to the damn scum. It's a hard decision considering the risks, but we've lost enough power roles already and I would hate for you to make a mistake and vote for me today. Luckily, Stanislav used his inventor action on the first night to give me a vest, so I am fairly confident that the scum can't kill me at night, at least not on the first attempt. doesn't mean they can't try during the day though! I've been collaborating with him this whole time trying to make sense of our situation, and to have Samuel come out and say he sent a message saying he suspects me is very confusing, and certainly unexpected from my end. I am very interested to hear his reasoning, please do elaborate Samuel. If you're interested, my results thus far have been: Night 1: Samuel (town) Night 2: Yan (town) Night 3: Stanislav (town) We decided that I should investigate Stanislav last night despite me already being certain of his alignment because we wanted to make sure I wasn't an insane investigator. It seems I am not, which I am certainly glad about. There was some indication that things would be different during the full moon, but I received the result as per usual and currently don't have any reason not to trust Yan, so I think that my action at least remained unaffected. I've put myself in the firing line now for the scum, and will probably die before the end now, but hopefully it will be of some benefit to my fellow townies.

Pandora Posted August 23, 2011 Not Stanislav! I'm going to miss him, in fact we're all going to miss him, especially as he was so reasonable, and evidently useful. Similarly with Petr, even if he wasn't actually all that reasonable. I'm relieved we caught a scum in Donil, though, that helps a little and makes me think back to those people who were just so keen to try to talk us out of voting for him. Samuel, like my lovely Falicia I'd like to hear more about what Stanislav told you before his untimely death; it has already be made clear that his insights are valuable so any further information would be useful, I'm sure. As Raya has pointed out, a new MO has come into play, further increasing my worry over conversions and multiple Mafia families. I'm glad the discussion is well under way as it is clear we have a lot to talk about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahem, please remember that the night action that's "invented" isn't necessarily random. Or did Stanislav tell you that his inventions were random? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
def Posted August 23, 2011 Well, first off, let me apologize to Stanislav. My suspicions were misplaced yesterday. My guess is that, so far, the scum have been lying low and watching town point at each other. Samuel, I don't know what you're talking about, but I havent seen the message Stan sent you. He certainly wasnt "100% sure" since I'm town. That sounds like a hunch he had about me, but I think it has a lot more to do with me voting for him yesterday than anything else. He was pretty sure Petr was scum yesterday, and said as much to the whole town. Petr wasn't scum either, was he, so his hunches arent that reliable. There's been a lot of gut-based strategy in this game so far, and the only success we've had was from hard information. I'm trying to figure out why he trusted you in the midst of this. And yeah, you told me his role. I unvoted him yesterday because of that claim and was waiting to see him confirm it yesterday by giving something to you. If I were scum, that in itself would be a reason for me not to kill him. it would make me look too suspicious to have him die the night you told me. I would wait a night or two. I assume the scum have some sort of blocker that could neutralize him for a night or two and provide a scummy alibi. I don't know, but just killing him is not how i would do it. I was home in bed last night. You can follow me or check me if you like. Or you can vote for me and we'll be down one more townie. How many people did he tell his role to? Any of them could have done it, or simply scum wanting to draw attention to those of us who either voted or accused him yesterday, which is a good scum ploy. There is one mystery to solve today. If Max kille Elene(?) and was Russian Mafia, and Donil killed Yuri, and was Russian Mafia, why did they get two hits that night? Does this mean there's just one big mafia with two hits? That's kind of unusual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Crazy One Posted August 23, 2011 No! Not Stanislav, a true townie. I am glad lynched a mafia member however. This is encouraging news. Too bad this success is overshadowed by the death of Stanislav and Petr. If Stanislav was indeed an inventor, we have lost yet another important night action. What's also striking is a fourth MO.

Was one mafia family recruiting again last night (as on night 1 perhaps) and does this mean we've only seen the vigilante kill for the first time last night? An interesting observation, one which I am leaning towards, yet nothing is certain. Let me ask this. Excuse my ignorance on the matter but if there are multiple Mafia families, how likely are they to be working together, or agaisnt eachother? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peanuts Posted August 23, 2011 I'm ppreety said about Petr. I always assumed he was town, and how many people do you find whose name is the same without an "a"? I'll also mourn Stanislavski, can't say I trusted him, but he was important to our town indeed. This night was a big loos for us. Well, at least we were right about Donil. Or at least those, who actually voted for him. Well done, people. But despite these heavy losses - and in Stanislav's case it truly was heavy, since he was our Town Inventor - we have unveiled two more Mafia members thanks to Stan's last minute reveal to me. I can't help but be partially to blame for Stan's death, because I revealed his night action to the other person now confirmed to be Mafia. The other person has been very passive-aggressive, yet because of his silence, he has flown under the radar. The two people in question are Denis (def) and Dmitri (Dragonator). Our Inventor Stanislav pointed them to me saying he is 100% certain of it, and bearing the guilt of not trusting him earlier I must trust him now. I hope you don't mind giving us more information. You say "in question", but you say 100% certain the same time. Also, I wonder, does it say that one of them is scum or both of them? Not that I don't trust you, but I like to get every information we have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Posted August 23, 2011 I wonder what I'm surprised about during the entire introduction, with my hands being raised and all throughout the entire thing. This is very interesting information that's being tossed about. I was correct in my observations that Petr was just a loud and unstable townie, but at least he was somewhat of an asset. I can't help but feel that my theory was off yesterday, which is disappointing as it fell into line with other clues I had gathered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorneliusMurdock Posted August 23, 2011 That Stanislav was our inventor is sad news indeed. I think we need to know why Stanislav was so certain of Denis and Dimitri, Samuel. If he got results from a night action or whether it was just a feeling he had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
