No, they're not all dead. There are a few people who I am totally sure are not the traitor, but I don't know if I really want to be sharing this info. For one, the real traitor may try to kill these people because they're cleared, and secondly, I want to give you all as much of a reason as possible to keep me around, and holding on to my cards is the best way for me to do that. If y'all will unvote me, then I'd be perfectly happy to share more. But it's going to take some real unvotes.

Seeing a new quest on the quest board, Tomas walks over and signs his name for Quest 24: Hunt for the Draugr.

I agree, and I realize now just how out of line I was in my attack on Kiel last night. While I'm not fond of the tactic of trash talking, it's certainly more appropriate than lashing out at someone and using their past mistakes as weapons against them. Once again, I'm truly very sorry. We're all part of the problem. Everyone makes mistakes. What's important is that we're all friends here and we can all forgive each other for those mistakes. I completely forgive you for any mistakes you've made, and I really hope that you'll continue to play in mafia games here, because I do really enjoy playing with you. What I said last night I said in the heat of the moment and I certainly didn't mean it. In the end, it's your decision, but I urge you to stay, because you really bring something special to these games and we'll miss you a lot. Please don't leave, Kiel. Mafia games just won't be the same without you.

There is no team for me anymore. I'm independent. I'm choosing to side with the town because I have a greater chance of surviving if I side with the larger team. This info is basically the last card I have left! If I give it up, what's to say you won't all lynch me? If you agree not to lynch me, then you will receive my info. If you go ahead and vote me off, then I'll leave you to deal with the traitor while you're all still in the dark. I need to survive, Hugh. That's how I win now. By surviving. How about this, at the beginning of Day 8, I will tell you everything I know, including who I investigate tonight. Deal? And by that above I meant that I will spill my info in public.

I'm very sorry to hear about this, Hinckley. I hope you're doing okay. Chris Owen will be around and ready to sniff more blood whenever you're ready, but there's certainly no rush.

Sorry, but I'm not telling anyone anything until I have a guarantee that I'm not going to be voted off. Just because I'm willing to side with the town doesn't mean that I'm not still independent. Like I said, at the beginning of Day 8, I will spill everything I know to William.

Didn't you listen? I'm not a cultist anymore. He/she has become the new Cultist Herbalist. I'm the Independent High Priest.

So this is it, huh? I admire Good and Hard's bravery, but it's really unnecessary. Voting for me won't really blow one of you up. That would only happen if I was the bomb. But I'm not the bomb. I've been lying to you people this whole game. Sowwy. As a matter of fact, I am a member of the Cult of IMHOTEP. Or, more accurately, I was a member of the Cult of IMHOTEP. My role was the Power-hungry Herbalist. Once per night, I had the ability to kill one player by injecting them with a serum and shoving them into the statue. In addition, I could only win if I became the High Priest, which is the Godfather equivalent of this game. The High Priest is a role that passively makes all actions that target it 'unsuccessful'. When I became the High Priest, I would become the Independent High Priest, and I would only need to survive to win. Mustafa was the original High Priest, and I tried as hard as I could to get Nicholas to let me be the High Priest when Mustafa died, but he needed the role for himself. Now that Nicholas is dead and I'm the High Priest, I'm no longer scum. At the beginning of the game, we were informed that there is a 'townie' Traitor we could recruit to our ranks (we only had 5, me, Nicholas, Betty, Mustafa, and Melaena). The High Priest role has a night action in which he can investigate one player to see if they're the traitor, and if they are, passively recruit them. Unfortunately, since our original High Priest died so early, we were never able to find that traitor. God has informed me that the traitor was given my syringe at the end of Day 6, and is now a full member of the Cult of IMHOTEP. The investigative role on the High Priest remains, but I no longer have the ability to recruit the traitor. I have no idea whether the traitor was informed at the beginning of the game about his/her traitorous alignment, but I doubt it, because he/she would have probably tried to be scummy to catch our attention, and most of the people who caught our attention have been investigated and are not the traitor. So, why should you leave me alive? I'm an independent now, after all, and you have no use for non-campies. Well, I have some very important info that only the scum would have. Like, for example, the amount of virgins the cultists need to kill to win. I'd be more than happy to spill some of this info to one of the town leaders at the start of the next game day, given you don't lynch me. I also still have that investigative action on the High Priest role that could be useful.

Kiel, what I said was incredibly out of line and I'm am very, very, very sorry. Despite my better judgement, I let my emotions get the best of me. Please don't leave mafia. You are a very important part of the community, a really awesome team player, and most importantly to me, a very good friend. I'm very sorry that I said such hurtful things to you. I lost sight of the difference between in-game trash talk and real personal insults. If anyone should be leaving mafia, it's me. I'm also very sorry to our hosts, Rufus and Pandora, for making this game Day not fun for so many people by being downright nasty to KielDaMan and for bringing up such metagame-y topics in-thread. You two have done truly an amazing job on this game, and it's been both hilarious and fun. Mean-spirited insults like what I said have no place in a game, and such a great game at that. I hope we can all get past this and be friendly again, but I completely understand if we can't. What I said was much worse than most arguments I've seen in mafia games. Not only that, but it was also incredibly hypocritical. All too often do I see myself going down the road of insults when somebody is on the chopping block (like Sandy on Day 2 of this game - sorry again for that, Sandy). But yes, once again, I am very, very sorry for the hurtful things I said, KielDaMan. I hope you can forgive me.

William, that's a great idea! I'm not being sarcastic, I think this is actually the answer to our problem. If you're all absolutely sure about the decision that you want to make, then I'll vote for myself first. If I have to die to show you that the cultist(s) is hiding amongst the 'cleared', then so be it. There's no need for another person to have to go down with me. William, just give the word, and I will vote for myself first. However, doing so would make it easy for that last scum to swoop in and vote for me as well. Think about your decision first, but if you really want me to, then I will. Oh no! Did you just call me a Tammo-face!? Oh dear, I'm so emotionally unstable right now because of your incredibly sophisticated insults! You're just too clever and witty! Oh my, and what insults they are! The way you call me things that don't even make sense is so wonderful! I think trashbag's my favorite. That should be my title after this game. Trashbag. Quite frankly, my name works much better for an insult than what you've turned it into. All the innuendos in this game are hilarious. Pandufus has done a stellar job. (Again, not being sarcastic, this game is epic) You'd like that, wouldn't you? THERE IS NO DEFENSE FOR ME TO MAKE! How many times do I need to say that before you truly understand it!? He had a defense. His defense was 'they have a triple block!'. It was far-fetched defense, but it was something. I don't have ANY defense I can make. All I can do is say the truth, that I am INNOCENT! If there was a defense for me to make, then I would be making it and repeating it a dozen times! Yes, I have been cursing an awful lot. Very sorry if anyone was offended by that. I'm really annoyed that you all think I'm scum, and I've been blowing off steam. Blowing off steam does not automatically equal scum. It is human nature to get angry in situations like this. And you know, I have been trying very hard to not offend anyone. I have been rereading all my statements before I post them (except for the one I directed at you) to make sure that there's nothing in there that could really hurt someone's feelings in there. That is because I am a kind and considerate person, unlike you. It's no coincidence that you end up throwing out insults (that don't even make sense ) at people in almost every game you play in. I'm sure you and a few others remember Stupid Siegmund? Or The Riddler who is so dumb that he is really dumb (what the hell does that even mean? )? And now poor Sheila Suxsdumb. It's also no coincidence that these people are/were the subjects of a vote when you insulted them. You feed your ego by kicking people when they're down. You are a mean spirited person, Gordon, and I hate playing mafia games with you. You know why it took me so long to contact anybody in Gotham? It's because the only confirmed person was you, and I didn't want to have anything to do with you. And before you start to mock me, no, this is not me being 'fragile' and 'defensive' and 'inexperienced'. If you want to keep insulting me, then please do! I honestly couldn't care less, and I have pretty thick skin. Your 'insults' are laughable anyways. Thank you, Toulouse. I did my best to help the town as much as possible, even after Mehmet's unfortunate passing. No, Nicholas knew I was the bomb around Day 3 or 4 (can't remember exactly). That explains why I wasn't killed. I wish we could do that, but there's still another cultist around, and I know it's not me. While Gordon is bumbling utter nonsense most of the time, he is right that I should try my best to 'take one for the team'. If William specifically says that I should after I have said that I'm okay with doing so, I will vote for myself and then the rest of you can hop on my wagon and then you'll see that a cultist is hiding amongst the 'cleared'.

Oh, it's a team win game? I'm so sorry, I was too busy trying to turn myself into a human landmine to take out a scum with me to notice. Thank you very much for reminding me though. You're ever so helpful. I think it's both hilarious and infuriating that you're accusing me of not taking one for the team when that's what I was trying to do this entire game! You just can't pass up an opportunity to parade around and feel self-righteous, can you? Maybe I should just stop talking and not give you an excuse to put yourself on another ego trip. Grease Face, has it ever occurred to you that the scum might be able to win if we get a wrong lynch? We have no idea how many virgins they need to kill to win, so we should definitely not be careless with our votes. In particular, we should not be voting off someone when there is no case against them! You all seem to think that just because everyone else is 'cleared', I am automatically scum. However, that does not change the fact that I AM NOT SCUM! I wish there was a Day Cop so they could investigate me and show you all that I'm not scum! We're on an internet forum, Gordon. I don't think such a thing as 'sincerity' can really be emphasized here. If this were in person, you would hear the sincerity in my voice. I am so sincere that my perfectly nice day has been completely ruined by this and I've spent the whole day grumbling to myself because you're killing me without any evidence! I'm not 'panicking' and 'desperate'. I'm upset and pissed off, and I have every right to be so. How would you feel if you got accused out of the blue for almost no reason? Don't lie to yourself, Gordon. You would be pissed. THERE ARE NO POINTS TO MAKE, GORDON!!! :wall: That's the most infuriating thing about this. THERE IS NO CASE AGAINST ME! There's nothing I can say that will make you not vote for me! Who knows? Maybe you'll be able to win without me and Good and Hard, and maybe the cultists need to kill all the virgins to win. If that's the case, then kill me. This has been an awesome game, and I've had fun. But if you're not absolutely sure of the cultists' win condition, then you shouldn't be hasty with your votes! And I'm not threatening you. I'm laying out the facts. You all say, "Kill Sheila, kill Sheila, kill Sheila even though there's no evidence!", and I say "What the hell, guys? If you kill me, I end up killing one of you. It's my role, dipshits." Believe me, if I could just not use the bomb action, then believe me, I would definitely not use it. The last thing I want is for more innocents to have to die. Gordon is just enjoying this way too much. He just can't wait to see two more innocents die while he gets to escape another day and feed more virgins to Imhotep. If anyone's the cultist, it's him. He's been tripping my scumdar every day this game. He better have been double or triple checked, because this guy is almost definitely scum.

That is a good point. If all actions that targeted Nicholas failed, then you're right, he probably was the 'confusion causing' scum role this game. If that's true, then I have no megablocking clue as to who the scum is, and how he/she got on the 'cleared' list. Once again, I AM NOT SCUM! Voting me off will not help you in any way! You're welcome. I figured lemmings would be a better analogy, because sheep don't vote off the megablocking bomb. Oops, lemmings don't do that either? Sorry, I meant to say that sheep don't commit mass suicide. Easy to get those mixed up. And when life gives you lemmings, don't make lemming-aid. Make life take the lemmings back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemmings - what am I supposed to do with these!? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Sheila Suxsumb lemmings! It's not self-deprecation, it's the truth. I'm okay at these games, but I'm certainly not good enough to pull something like this off yet. Plus, I've never played scum. Don't you think that would show in my behavior? If I was scum, then I would have probably given myself away with a stupid slip-up. Thank you for saying I'm getting consistently better though. I like to think I am. Good. If I must die, then I would really rather not take a virgin down with me. At least it's only Good and Hard. If you really want to make my death worthwhile, then get the most suspicious person from your 'cleared' list to vote for me first. If she/he's scum, then she/he won't want to, and he/she will be obvious. Or if he/she does vote for me first, then I can rid the camp of another cultist before I die. This doesn't change the fact that I am seriously pissed off right now, and it doesn't change the fact that I am going to continue to fight to keep myself alive. Like I said before, it would be irresponsible of me as an innocent to let you all waste a day on me, because I AM INNOCENT!

Okay, voting has started now. Before William gets all the lemmings ready to seal my fate the votes start stacking up on me, please take in to consideration what I've been saying! For the thousandth time, I have no idea who the last cultist(s) is/are, but I do know that it's not me! By lynching me, you are killing two innocents. (If you really are going to lynch me, then I hope you have the common sense not to waste a virgin) Yes, by the 'process of elimination', I am the best target for lynching. However, that does not change the fact that I am innocent! I have no idea why the hell everyone else is cleared, because I am innocent! There must be at least one cultist left, but I KNOW FOR A FACT that I am not it! Sure, I have no way to prove myself. I have not been proven by a night action, and I have no vital evidence that would prove me town. But that doesn't mean I'm not town! Have you all so soon forgotten poor Hans!? He had no way to prove himself either, but he was innocent (despite what he claimed )! When Mehmet wakes up in the heavens and reads this, he's going to be pissed that you guys are being so blind. I AM NOT SCUM! I don't know who is, but I know it's not me! It's not me! I'm not saying that I'm town because Mehmet trusted me and that he's never wrong. I'm saying that I'm town because I've been working for and with the town since Day 1! I have been active, and helpful, and insightful, not to mention that I've basically been planning this whole game to turn myself into a landmine to kill a scum! Besides, do you all honestly think I could trick Mehmet!? Two of the games I've been in were cut abruptly short for me, and I ended up megablocking the town over in two out of the remaining three games Oh, that's right! Thank you for pointing that out, Good and Hard. If Mehmet didn't give you any indication that I was innocent, then you only would have known my alignment if you had told the truth. You are probably not a cultist (not being sarcastic here, this is the truth). You don't get out much, do you? Admiral Ron was the bomb who worked with both in Werewolf, and Penguin was the bomb who worked with both in Bloodbrick I. Besides, I've never heard of a cloak that deflects night actions before! That must mean it's not real!

I love all the hidden FABULAND 'figs!

Thanks for summarizing. No, I am not the last cultist, and I am not a cultist at all. I am an innocent! The fact that I'm not cleared does not automatically make me scum! In the past, scum have had a very strong ability to cause confusion. Why should that be any different now? One of those people who is 'cleared' is a cultist (maybe even two if the cultists started out with six). How? I have no idea. Maybe a Godfather who comes up virgin, maybe someone faking results, I don't know. Like I said before, all I know is that I am an innocent. With that many results and that many people, it's very likely that a scum was able to slip into William or Mehmet's 'trusted' group undetected. Take a closer look at all your results! If something doesn't add up, then look into it! I am an innocent, and lynching me is equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot. I know that it's my word against tons of results, but you have to believe me! I don't 'have it stacked up' against me. There is no case against me! If I was scum, then claiming bomb would be perfect because it would allow me to, as you say, make everyone too scared to vote for me or to kill me at night. But I'm not stupid! If I really was scum, then I would understand how suspicious claiming bomb would look for me since it really is a perfect claim for a scum to make. Like I said before, a claim that covers a scum's trail would be a horrible idea for claiming if I really was scum. The reverse psychology of it makes it an awful claim.

But there is no case against me! Your entire case consists of 'Oh, well Sheila isn't cleared, so she must be scum'. That's all there is to it. Despite what the logic says, I am innocent. I AM INNOCENT! Why can't you people see that!? If you really thought the bomb is such an unbelievable claim, then why didn't you check me out last night or the night before or something? I think whoever's orchestrating this, whether it be William or Gordon or Good and Hard or somebody else, purposely left me uninvestigated so that I would be lynched during the day and passively take out another townie/virgin. Well, that plan is not going to work! I know for a fact that my death will needlessly waste another townie's life, and I'm not going to let it happen! Something just occurred to me. The scum will not vote for me first, right? And if they try reverse psychology, then I'll end up blowing them up, right? So my lynch might be a good opportunity to test people. It's okay, Johnny. I hope I don't end up having to bring you down with me. It's not a threat. It's just the truth. If I get lynched today, then I will passively kill whoever votes for me first. Obviously, this all relies on me being innocent, but I AM innocent. I know that it's my word against William's, but please, you have to believe me! I have been nothing but helpful this whole time. I have been working for the greatest good of the town, and you repay me for that by killing me with no evidence against me! And that's not even the worst part! You'll end up killing another townie by lynching me! Disbelieve it all you want, that doesn't change the fact that it is TRUE! I know voting hasn't opened yet, but I know that once voting opens, it will be a landslide vote against me, and we'll have no chance. I need to defend myself while there's still time so that I will be able to save myself and the unlucky townie/virgin who has to vote for my first. And yes, I am angry. Very angry. I'm not just going to sit around and say 'Oh, okay, the logic says I'm scum, so I must be scum!' and lie down to die even when I know I'm innocent! Maybe I'm taking this game too seriously, but we've already caught four cultists. We could very well catch the last one today or tonight or tomorrow! I won't let you all shoot yourselves in the foot when we're so close! That said, there's a very good chance that I'm going to be pretty snappy to anyone who argues the 'case' against me, so please don't be offended by what I say. Please don't. I'd like to think we're all friends here, and I'd hate to hurt anyone's feelings, so I'll try to be less angry in the rest of my defense today. Thank you.

I agree! What a great episode! More hospital ponies, the interior of Rainbow's house, Daring Do, and lots of 'squee'!

Have you already forgotten that I end up killing the first person on my bandwagon? Yes, I am useless. However, you shouldn't lynch me, because it will end up killing not one, but two townies today. If we're going to end up losing tonight, then I'm sorry to say this, but we're going to end up losing tonight anyway. Killing me won't help you one bit, because I AM NOT A CULTIST! If you think the cultists only need one more virgin, then you need to actually go after that last cultist (or cultists), because I am not it. Don't try to be clever, Johnny. Of course the scum wouldn't kill me if I was scum. But I'm not scum. I AM NOT SCUM! I don't know for sure what will happen if I get investigated. A lot of weird crap has happened this game. I do know, however, that I am an innocent! The last cultist(s) must be hiding amongst the people who are 'cleared', because I am not a cultist! You are wasting your time and shooting yourselves in the foot by lynching me!!! No shit it's supposed to cause fear! You should be afraid. If you lynch me, the first person on my bandwagon will die as well. How many times do I have to say that before you finally understand it!? Well, since you don't believe my claim, then why don't you vote for me first. After all, the fact that you don't believe it in automatically means that it won't work on you.

Sure, I understand, all things point to me. The logic says I'm scum, right? But that doesn't change the fact that I'M NOT SCUM! I don't know what the hell is going on here, but I am NOT a cultist! I am an innocent, and damn it, I'm not going to let you people doom both me and whoever draws the shortest straw and has to vote for me. It is the duty of a good innocent to not let the camp megabluck itself over, and that is exactly what you will be doing if you vote for me. I will NOT go down without a fight because that would be half-assed and irresponsible of me as an innocent. I am not a cultist!

Lots of Breaking Benjamin lately. Hopeless, Until the End, Dance with the Devil, Diary of Jane, and tons more. I'm just teasing. It's my favorite as well. I went through a couple of days where I listened to the song non-stop on a loop for hours.

Well, secret's out now. I'm the bomb. It doesn't matter now, since Nicholas already knew, and there as no way the scum would go for me once they knew what I am. Mehmet and I made every effort to get myself blown up, but unfortunately, the scum never took the bait, and I never got a chance to send a cultist to hell. I don't really know what to say. You're suggesting that the campies lynch me out of desperation. There is no evidence against me, and I've been nothing but helpful. If you were worried about me, then why didn't you have Bluto investigate me? I don't blow up just anybody who targets me at night, you know. I was cherrinated by someone and investigated by Good and Hard in the same night, and they're both still alive right now. If you had investigated me, then you would have seen that I'm innocent, and we wouldn't be having this conversation right now. Besides, if I was scum, why would I claim bomb? That's almost as bad as claiming miller. It's a role that completely covers a scum's trail, and thus something a scum wouldn't want to claim because it would draw a suspicious eye. Plus, it would look bad if I was trying my best to turn myself into a human landmine and then I didn't get blown up. As for who the last scum is/are, I have no megablocking clue. I, like many others, have been left in the dark this game. However, one of the people you 'cleared' may in fact be the godfather. Or maybe it's Good and Hard, and he's been making up BS for his results. I don't know. All I know is that it's NOT ME. Normally I would just say, "Okay William, you think you're so smart? Go ahead, lynch me. You'll see that I'm innocent in the morning. I'm not a virgin, so my death doesn't mean shit.", but no, that is not an option now. In case you've all forgotten, I blow up the first person on my bandwagon. So unless you can trick the scum into voting for me first, then we're going to end up losing not one but two innocents today. Maybe even a virgin, if one of them is stupid enough to go for me. The last cultist or cultists know that I'm not scum, and will not vote for me today because they know the danger to themselves. Today they get to sit back with a tub of popcorn and watch two innocents (and maybe a virgin) die needlessly.

Love it! It looks like Rainbow learns to really immerse herself in the story. I can't wait until tomorrow morning!
