I doubt it. Ra's fulfilled all the participation requirements (posted at least once and voted), and even if he hadn't, he would have simply gotten a 5 vote penalty. I think it's more likely that he was killed by the vig/SK. Although it is troubling that we didn't learn his affiliation; the only real way for the scum to successfully use their janitor action (this is, of course, assuming that they even have one) would be to use it on their victim for the night, but it's much more likely that they tried to kill Baby Doll or Riddler than Ra's. Maybe the SK can also mask the identities of his victims? Good catch, Creeper! I think it's quite possible that we've found two more scum today! The question remains, however: Do we lynch Bane or do we lynch Wesker and his little wooden doll? Well, I'm glad that's taken care of! Sorry for doubting you, Baby Doll. In that case, it's a good thing we got rid of her action quickly!

Egg-zactly! No scum would keep their vote on Riddler after he had claimed investigator, so it makes perfect sense that he would want to unvote Riddler at that point. However, that scum would then have a tough decision ahead of him: does he bus his partner and strengthen her bandwagon even more, or does he vote for someone else in an attempt to save her? The former is the safest option, but it does put yet another nail into the coffin of one of his teammates. The latter, on the other hand, makes it possible for her to live to see another Day, but it's with a doubt the riskier option. In his initial vote for Nygma, Bane said: Here he says that he's voting for Riddler so that everyone could 'work together' (and the issue of whether he's guilty or not never comes up), but he later refuses to vote for Catwoman because he's not convinced of her guilt. This is a massive scum tell here. If nothing better presents itself, I think we should seriously consider lynching Bane today. Honestly, the only thing that keeps me from being entirely sure that he's an agent is the fact that Catwoman actually addressed his post and told him to hop on her bandwagon (although that may have been the purpose of her post).

Fair enough; there's nothing wrong with coming to you own conclusions and going against the herd. Still, you have to admit that your vote looked very much like that of a scum trying to save his partner.

At that point, Catwoman had 9 votes while Riddler had 8 (although he did take one more off of Riddler when he voted for Croc). There was still time for change, but the tides were starting turn against Catwoman. However, there is still the possibility that Catwoman asked her associates to bus her when she saw how fast the votes were stacking up.

Baby Doll, could you explain to us all how this revelation is going to work? Are our gracious hosts going to come out of the blue and say it? That's definitely a possibility, especially since our investigator has revealed himself. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the scum went after him last night but were unsuccessful due to a protection. That's true, I've noticed that Bane is usually one to just 'go with the herd', but still, I think it would have been a bit more like him to vote for Catwoman immediately just because everyone else was doing it. He had no reason to vote for Croc. I'm pretty sure Penguin said these are Gordon's agents we're dealing with here, not the Bat's.

Hooray, we got an agent on Day 1! Let's hope we can keep up the good work, everybody! Although, one does have to wonder what Ra's Al Ghul's affiliation was. Maybe the scum used a janitor action on him? I think we'll have a good chance at finding a scum today if we look at those who defended/weren't so keen on voting for Catwoman. Clayface, Mr. Freeze, Hush, and Simon the Pieman did not vote for her at any point in time (Ra's didn't vote for her either, but he's dead, so we can't lynch him), but her bandwagon started pretty late in the day, and I don't recall seeing any of them around during the time we were all voting for her. Out of everyone who voted for Catwoman, I think Bane is the most suspicious. He did unvote Nygma, but he changed his vote to Croc instead of Catwoman. However, Catwoman publicly asked him to jump on her bandwagon, so that complicates things.

"I think that would be best."

Order of action: Leo Xander Thormanil Cinna Ad-Hoh Benji De'kra Tomas "Good idea, Leo. I will attack Lord Ricroar from the front row!"

"We still don't know exactly what those items do, so I'd be careful if I were you. I'm not going to drink my witch's hat brew this battle unless I'm backed into a corner." "In any case, do what you think is best."

Order of action: Leo Xander Thormanil Cinna Ad-Hoh Benji De'kra Tomas "It's too bad the expert spell resistance came into play so early." "I will attack Lord Keveak from the front row!"

"Good idea." Order of action: Cinna Ad-Hoh Leo Xander Thormanil Benji De'kra Tomas

Damn it, why won't you people stop stealing my lines!? Yes, your action is the only reason you're not seal food right now. Let's just hope the scum aren't able to scramble you before you can do anything useful.

Order of action: Leo Xander Thormanil Cinna Ad-Hoh Benji De'kra Tomas "I will attack Lord Keveak from the front row! Ad-Hoh, Cinna; please use your darkness magic against one of the Lords before their ability comes into play!"

"Well, I think we have reached a decision. Let's attack the elves." "Before going into battle, I'd like to apply venom to my staff."

First of all, we have unlimited unvotes. That's already been proven (I've unvoted twice). Second of all, I don't think the scum will try to kill Riddler after a claim like that, because he's most likely going to be a target for most, if not all, criminal protectors. The last thing the scum want is to be unsuccessful with their kill, and the risk of that is too big for them to target Riddler or Doll tonight. Give it a rest, Doll. The only reason we saved him is because he claimed investigator.

"This is a rather important battle, so I think everyone should vote on who we attack. So far, there's two votes for the elves (Thormanil and Leo)."

I concur. This Day 1 has been quite exciting (albeit a bit hectic). My scumdar pretty unreliable every day. However, I agree with you about Catwoman. My vote has to go somewhere, so I think I'll take your suggestion and vote for who I think deserves it. Vote: Catwoman (CallMePieOrDie)

Why did you call it 'very strong' then? Very strong is an investigation result, not a Day 1 bandwagon. That having been said, I no longer feel comfortable voting for Nygma, so I will Unvote: The Riddler (sok117) And you too! All this senseless bandwagoning is driving me insane. If you have to eat one of the apples, you would of course choose the soft and bruised one, but you wouldn't pick it up and say, "Wow, this looks delicious!", would you?

Ah, I see. Sorry for immediately assuming the worst. The more I look at what he says, the more he seems like scum to me. First he says that we shouldn't vote people off because of behavior, and then he jumps on the Riddler bandwagon with no explanation at all. Hush, would you like to explain your scummy behavior?

Where have you been all day, Ra's? What are you implying, Ivy? The fact that I'm open to ideas doesn't make me a sheep.

"You know, I too think that Keveak and the Elves are up to something. If their spies are so good, then why don't they know that the Lion Knights are here on (what seems to be) a farming mission? However, that does not explain the caravans."

OOC: Ah, I see... Of course it won't be a guess, but I'm going to have to think about it for a while. "Good idea, Leo! De'kra, please use your cloak to determine the stats."

You know, I've been pretty suspicious of her as well. She seems ready to go with just about any herd (as Crane said, she followed the Riddler about Wesker and she followed Music Meister about Ra's), which is not a sign of a good criminal. I'm going to keep my vote where it is for now, but I'll definitely think about voting for her later.
