"Ho boy. Looks like we get a bunch of little fellows to deal with. Rats?! Seriously, that's what the Shaduex are throwing at us? I guess I made the right choice throwing in with the Hinckwells. No matter. I think we ought to all target the small rats and take them out. That way, we will not be attacked by as many when they get to strike. I will attack the White Rat from the front row."

Here I was hoping for a play. Thanks so much for the game Hincks! I had a lot of fun and can't wait until the end. Best of luck everyone.

"Rufindel, perhaps you should patch up my friend Hybros, he seems to be in pain from Rover," says Boomingham, polishing his shield merrily. "As for our next move, I say onward! We hear voices, let's go check them out. Maybe Hybros or Atramor could sneak ahead and check them out? See how many there are. If it's a singular guard we should take him out, so we won't have to deal with him later. If we are seen and they call for back-up, well, wouldn't it be nice if we had already taken care of the back-up?"

"Sorry Doggy, but opponents can not be shown mercy. I respect your loyalty to your masters however. Perhaps if we had met another day..." Boomingham attacks Rover from the front row.

"Hahaha. What'd ya think, that we wanted to throw you to the dogs and run off while you fought with it?"

Gotta love that Butler Sanderson. Thought I'd add to the compliments you're getting left and right.

"Atramor, I'd put your chicken away," whispers Boomingham. He is not afraid of dogs, but he would also not like to hurt it if he can help it. "I agree with my friend Eric. Perhaps the ranger could talk to the dog."

I believe he was trying to cover for my ousting of him. I think he still suspected Ruxana, but he was afraid she was scum so wanted to appear to be trusting her publicly. Aha! Unless she's scum of an opposite mafia. And he'll turn up scum of mafia A, and clear her, who is a member of Mafia B. Oh well, I can't change anything today, and I'm not that opposed to this choice anyway. Donil you should spill. You really should. Pick someone you trust to be town (I advise Samuel personally, but that's just me) and tell them something, or anything, that you can. Even if it's just identifying people without actions.

The reason I placed my vote where I did was simple. Ruxxy has got more locked it votes. I, Petr, make a third locked in vote. I can not change it if I wanted to.

JimBee, haven't complimented it yet, but I absolutely adore your character design. I keep marveling at it and it finally occurred to me that I haven't complimented it to your face yet, so awesome job, he's very cool to look at!

No. I should go first, then Eric, then the Elf. If there are surviving opponents, which, with my weapons and skill there shouldn't be, they attack down the order of combat list. Assuming that there are only two left, I'd much rather have them attack myself and Eric rather than the Cleric. He could heal us, and we can take the damage. As for entrance, you, little man... whatever you are, I'm afraid I never ran into you all those years ago, and now that I'm back I haven't left my castle's ruins except to just now go to Heroica Hall so I have no clear idea what species you are... anyway, point is, you are a Rouge, no? You're meant to be sneaky, right? How's about you go and earn your stripes boy! Lock picking, not breaking, ought to be what you're suggesting, or maybe you can find an entrance that you can get into and open the whole sha-bang from the inside.

Challenge accepted!

Well, just so as not to split it, I'm going to Vote: Ruxana (Roncanator).

Boomingham tired to whisper. What was produced was about a number man's voice level. "No questions here. Would it be inappropriate to wear masks so that the Shadeux's wouldn't recognize us? Just in case we ever want to work for..." he trailed off, remembering the present company. "Is there a complimentary meal before hand?" He then turned to Rufindel. "Glad to see you sir. Lord Boomingham. I was hoping to get saddled with you, I believe that you are the only other person here who could have fought against the Orcs."

For the time being, I will unvote: Stanislav (Shadows). I have to reread everything, but for now someone has told me that I have voted too swiftly. I'm sorry, what!? What is this in reference to... Nice catch Irene. Clearly the day is 72 hours so no one is cut off when a conviction is reached and they are killed for not voting. I will take a bit more time to think, but within the next hour or so I will vote. The vote seem beautifully split currently. Barbara, I got to ask you what the hell you're doing with that vote of your's.

I'm being used by the scum. Oh, wait, now you're accusing me of being scum again after I vote for you... Perhaps it is because of the reasons Petr, who is me, listed. I already suspected him. In fact, I said yesterday I suspected him... publicly. So you can go confirm it yourself. He is my prime suspect currently, why would I not vote for him? Also, things to note, that I'm afraid we are losing in the hustle and bustle of each day. We still have not figured out the full moon festival.

Here here Donil. I listed him as a suspect yesterday, and off my list of suspects from yesterday he is the only one who still stands out to me. Basically for the same reason that you have. Quietly, with minute posts, pushing for votes. Extremely scummy. Vote: Stanislav (Shadows). Now, on to what our dear cross-dressing construction man said... what exactly did he mean? We're not looking in the right places for clues? Where else can we look... did anyone get any interesting messages from heaven last night?

Boomingham nodded happily at the quest board. "Well, that's all in order. I'll see you lot tomorrow, better be ready for some fun!" he exclaimed before downing the rest of his drink and leaving the Hall.

Lord Boomingham followed inside, smiling grandly at the warmth of the great hall. He waved to Eric and Tesni in greeting, winked at the Orc barmaid, and sauntered over to the quest board. "It seems that Heroica Hell will be filled to the brim today," he said jovially to whoever was standing next to him. "Everyone wants to go questing. Do you know how this works out? Do they come and collect us? I'm not worried about not being chosen, they'd be a fool not to pick the great Lord Boomingham, don't you agree? I need something to wake me up, would you ask the bar maid for a flagon of ale for me?"

Quite simply, before we vote, we need to ask two things of the two candidates. Why could Yuri not block you Ruxana, and what on earth were you doing to Yuri if not killing him Donil. It sure as hell wasn't protecting him.

Oh please. You bore me. What exactly are you suggesting? That I am scum, and that I had my other scum vote for me, and then we prayed that not enough townies would vote our way to save me, and then our plan was that the next day I suggest that they're not scum. What a ridiculous scheme. This has merit, and I over-looked it, I'll admit it. Oh, and yes, i'm the clever clever scum that is publicly announcing that I have connections with those dying, sometimes even before their deaths. Try to use your head. Did I have to publish that Eugene and I were talking? No. I could have quietly have swept that under the rug. The same goes for Yuri. If he told me something that implied he had an action, WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD I PUBLICLY LINK IT TO ME. I think you're largely over-exaggerating how badly the scum would want to be in my "cleared" book. I doubt highly that they'd give up killing me just to have me, someone the town clearly did not trust, say he trusted them. Also, please don't be stupid. I had 10 votes when Falicia and Denis voted, 11 when Timur voted, eleven again when Yuri unvoted me, and hell, I think more than that when Petra and Patrick unvoted me. Would a scum really do that? Would they UNVOTE me at that point?! I am, however, afraid of falling into the "Jesus Trap" and becoming too confident in my way of thinking. Mull it over, I've put it out there to consider. I will try to keep an open mind and listen to what you all have to say. I ask you to do likewise.

Which is why I said in my original post that this is only useful to those who trust me to be town. Who knows, maybe I'll be poisoned around lunch time and you'll all get a break and be able to start cracking. It's all if you think I'm some dumb scum who's quite literally throwing themselves at the gallows, or some dumb town member doing the same. I, Petr, would be happy to die to show my town the path. I am still rather hoping to be poisoned, it would give you a lovely list of 13 and a fighting chance.

Ah, but you see friend, they were not desperate. Not in the least It would have been EASY to send me over the edge, and if I had turned up town, would any of you have pointed fingers at the voters, claiming them to be scum? No. no, not at all. So there was no conceivable reason for the scum to not vote me. And if I wasn't voted off, then there was no harm in voting me, as there was enough of a bandwagon that the voters wouldn't be scrutinized. You say they wouldn't vote for me so as to conceal themselves. It would, in this case, be just as easy for them to conceal themselves in a bandwagon vote. As for the smaller scum families theory, well, why believe something that hasn't been confirmed in any shape or form yet? As for my thirteen suspects, those are the people who are not on my cleared list. You must certainly agree that with a townie so close to death, the scum would not unvote him, nor would they place a vote for someone else when they could have easily voted for me instead. We needed two more votes, if there are six scum, or even more perhaps, they wouldn't have any trouble getting enough votes for me. My list of suspects are those who voted for me, or did not have the opportunity to vote at the end of the day. Do all my points seem valid? Boiled down, those who in the last moment unvoted me, or did not vote for me but Barbara instead, simply would not have done so if scum. It just doesn't make sense for them to do that. Seriously no sense. So everyone who did not take those actions are still viable scum. Make sense?

Now that is a theory that I, Petr, like. Well, I do not like what it could mean for us, but it makes sense. On the other hand, until we start to catch mafia, I'd hate to think that, and with five dead already, it seems if there were two mafias we might have found at least one by now. But thank you for actually thinking. I do not know if I've suggested it yet, or just thought it, but honestly I can not figure out why the deaths are happening as they are. I can't figure out who is on who's side. Is it possible that there is no vigilante? No, that is not a good thought process. I can't tell who to assign to what, and am so not going to boggle my mind with these thoughts. I think Roxana is what we should be looking towards. Some people may say that Yuri being killed could frame her, but I don't think that's the case. I think that Yuri found her out, and the mafia figured she was already found out, so why not kill Yuri, who had some sort of action, and then it would look like Roxana was being framed, and thus take suspicion off of me. Also, though no one else can know this for certain, I beg everyone to listen to me. I had this thought in the night, and shared it with some allies in the case that I died. Here is my thought: The vote came down to the wire yesterday, and the final votes of the day were flying fast. The people who saved me are cleared in my book, it would have been so so easy for the scum to push me over the edge, and while those trying to get me convicted aren't necessarily scum, I have no idea why the scum would work so hard to try to save a townie when they could have simply pleaded bandwagon. It honestly does not make sense for the scum to not vote me if they had the chance to vote. Which actually gives me a list... Bear with me for a moment. Suppose for a second that I am town (which I am, but sadly you can only suppose). I was close enough to a conviction for it to make sense for the scum to try to vote me off. So let's look at the votes. Sandy, Peanuts, Brickdoctor, Captain Tamamono, Fugazi, def, badboytje, Waterbrick Down, Pandora, and iamded all could have voted me but didn't, or unvoted me, or voted Barbara. Think about it. IT HONESTLY MAKES NO SENSE FOR THE SCUM TO NOT KILL ME AT THAT POINT. No one would have pointed fingers, would they? That leaves us with CallMePieOrDie, JimButcher, Quarryman, Shadows, Bob the Construction Man, Dragonator, The Crazy One, CorneliusMurdock, Roncanator, WhiteFang, Masked Builder, KartoffelViking, and Rick as suspects. And yes, for a list this long, I gave everyone in the town a nick name! So that leaves us with a list of thirteen likely candidates. One of whom has an unexplained night action.

Who said the weapons were switched? There were two kills yesterday. It looks like there may be three today, I'm predicting the poison will still be in play. I think the pistol is someone new, probably still scum.
