Well, Henry, it seems like they're playing games now. Do you want to play? Yeah, me neither. And I must say, I've never seen a hair brush play a game before. How do you keep yourself busy when I'm not around? Huh, who would have guessed? Nah, don't mind me, I'll get by on my own while you hit on that comb. I heard there's a new paper on an alternate interpretation of the perfect hairstyle, which has caused quite a stir. despite the fact that my hair still is perfect by all scientific standards, it can't hurt to keep yourself informed. Anyway, leave a tie on the doorknob if you need your privacy. So, does anyone here want some tips on how to improve his hair? I see a lot of people who'd need them...and a few lost causes.

Hello everyone, I'm Rosie Fettucini, and here with me is Henry the Hair Brush. So, I think I'm ready to start playing. How about you, Henry? Why, thanks, Henry. I'd commend your hairstyle as well, but you don't have one. Yes, I spent quite some time preparing my hair for this occasion, but I think it's worth it. No chance. Top-ranking thrixologists have proven that Rock music is detrimental to gorgeous hair. And my hair is gorgeous. Haha, thanks, Henry. You may not actually be a studied thrixologist, but compliments are always welcome.

1. Definitely the Centurion. 2. Yes. 3. Yes. 4. I played Eurodina, Silver City, and some other games in between. Don't even check in my profile, it's terribly outdated 5. Simplicity? Anything but Simplicity

Thanks for the feed-back. I was rather cautious with the blocks in the beginning, mainly going for people who had claimed vanilla as to not obstruct any town roles. In the end I went a bit more for people I thought were scum, though Yeah, I blame the mason for losing the game (just kidding) I really had fun playing this game, and I definitely would sign up for another game of you. I also agree with the others that the LDD sets worked well

Well, it was a damn good game, and congratulations to teh scum team for a well-deserved victory. Yeah, I was the blocker, and I guess I shouldn't have mentioned it towards Piratedave. But seriously, we had a mason, an investigator, a vigilante, a blocker and a doctor? How did we manage to lose this?

The days comes close to an end, and to me this is the best case we have. I won't vote for our Serial Killer, for the reasons mentioned above. Tony makes a good point about Damien. It's a shame Damien can't defend himself, but in my opinion it's better than lynching Boris. I vote: Damien Long (Dannylonglegs)

Well, he has been killing one of the people Sheridan was suspicious of, assuming Sheridan isn't scum. Either way, there's 13 of us alive. If we lynch Boris and the scum kill one of us, 11. The question is, how many scum members are still alive? I'll go out on a limb and say that Molly and Michael probably weren't both scum. Most people seem to believe Michael was, but I don't. Many seem to think Molly was not, and I just don't have a good read on her, but it's well possible. So, if we are lucky and Michael actually was scum, it'll be 6 vs. 5. If not, 5 vs. 6. Are you willing to take the risk?

Okay...this is quite a turn of events. For now, I'll unvote: Boris Wheeler (TheBoyWonder). Why? I don't know if we can afford to not lynch scum at this point. I'd rather explore all alternatives before lynching the Serial Killer. So, if we really have a mason, that should narrow your list of suspects down considerably, shouldn't it? I'm not going to ask you to reveal the names of every mason member there is, of course, but can you at least tell us how many of you still are alive? Can you recruit infinitely?

I've voted for Boris yesterday, and I'm going to stick with my vote. About Molly, I didn't have a good read on her. Slightly townie perhaps, but not too much. Well, tomorrow we'll learn. Vote: Boris Wheeler (TheBoyWonder)

If you assume too much, you may end up trusting the wrong people... But at least we can conclude that they are neither the killer nor the role cop, both of which are actions the scum definitely have.

What reason do the scum have to not janitor him? The more info we have, the better, and there was some uncertaincy about his allegiance. At least I still don't think he was scum... Does anyone wonder why Liz was killed? She was not the most townies of townies, and she wasn't very vocal either. Did the scum know she had an action, or did they just kill her because they were sure she wasn't protected? Also, no poison kill. I can't imagine why an SK would not use their action, but that doesn't tell us a lot. Maybe he was blocked or protected. Maybe one of us will drop dead later today. Maybe he was Michael. My main suspect is still Boris. I don't trust Tristan and his Role Cop. I think Sheridan, Kane and Abigail are town. So, what do you think? Who are your suspects, who do you trust? What's your opinion about Tristan and the Role Cop? I can't wait to learn what they found out tonight. Apparently they're still alive, so I hope they have been doing something useful tonight.

Sorry for your loss, Tammo. As everyone said, take your time.

Huh? Are you saying that the host decides wheter or not he wants the killed person to execute their night action? My best guess would be that there's some simple explanation for the inconsistency. I don't know, really. I think Kenneth may be saying the truth when he insists that he is not the poisoner, so I don't feel comfortable voting for him. It seems Michael is going to die, but I actually believe he's another Esther rather than real scum. There's only one person I really think I can voet for in good conscience, and that's Boris. I never particularly trusted him, his behavior has always been odd and he tried to bandwagon our investigator. Vote: Boris Wheeler (TheBoyWonder) I hope you are doing the right thing when you lynch Michael (at least it doesn't look like he's getting off the hook anymore), but frankly, I highly doubt it.

There's something I'd like to remind everyone of as well: Jessica thought that her spilling her wine on the second day was because some had tried to poison her and failed. From our private conversation I know that she even suspected there was a posioner before we saw Zachary killed; if someone actually tried to posion her, that would kind of render Tristan's theory that Kenneth has to be the posioner moot. I just think that's something that should be taken into consideration.

I'm on the fence here. On the one hand, everything Tristan said may be an elaborated lie, but I'm inclined to believe he is actually telling the truth. On the other hand, while I don't think a vigilante, a role cop and an investigator are too much, I'm fairly sure the scum have a role cop as well (otherwise, why murder Jessica?). Could it be that the role cop who claimed to him actually is the scum role cop? After all, the posioner, no matter what side they are on or who they really are, killed two people who were primary suspects, acting as a de facto vigilante. I'm not sure I want them to go right now. I'd like to ask Kenneth to confirm or deny his role, and if he is an serial killer, if he can win with the town and if he is willing to do so.

Abigail has contacted me privately, and from what she said, I'm getting a townread on her. I guess my list was flawed (as is well possible) but at least I managed to get a read on her and that's also worth something. For now, I'll unvote: Abigail nelson (Adam) I'm not sure who'll get my final vote for the day, but I'm not convinced by the case against Michael. My next suspect would be Boris, but Sheridan has raised good points about Tristan as well. I think I'll vote for one of them, once finally Tristan speaks up.

Yeah, I see that I should have provided a bit more explanation. Let's just start with my analysis of people on the list: Kane: Despite him being is on most of them, I think he is town. He voted for Jessica just before the scum killed her. No scum in their right mind would try and start a lynch on the investigator. Apart from that, he seems to be genuinely trying to help. Prudence: Hasn't been the most active, but certainly has given some input. She's not entirely flown under the radar, which is why I voted for Abigail over her; however, going the middle road is typical scum play and while she actually made several accusations and helped with all the bandwagons in the past, as we all know the people who were lynched were all town (not trying to blame her for lynching town, that's everyone's fault, just saying). Basically, what distiguishes her from other people who took the middle road is that she is on my list. Abigail: Hasn't been helping a lot. Most of her contributions were speculation about roles and the set-up, and on the beginning of the second day she openly speculated about the vigilante (even though she thought it was a scum kill, like most of us). Liz: Not much on Day One; she contributed a lot more on the second and the third day, but nothing overwhelming. She was slightly more helpful than Abigail, though. Carletta: You added nothing to the town. Nothing whatsoever. Kenneth: That one's a bit tricky, since you can't be held responsible for what you said (or didn't say) a long time ago (that is, two days ago). You were a bit more helpful lately, but nothing that convinces me you aren't scum. Clay: Some early accusations against Esther, Zack and Michael; he didn't say a lot, but when he said something, it was actually helpful. I'm leaning on him being town and Boris being scum, but I'm not sure. It's notably that he voted for Esther even when we still thought she had an action. Damien: I've been slightly suspicious of him, but I've come to believe that he's town. Fun fact: Jessica was going to investigate him the night she died. Tony: Very few contributions, making it very hard to get a read on him. No idea, could be either. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt because the only group he is in on my list is with Kane, who I think is town. But yeah, that's not much, really. Boris: He also voted for Jessica, just like Kane, but maybe he thought he could bandwagon her. And then he quickly unvoted, perhaps because his buddies told him that was a stupid idea. It's a clear mistake for scum, but it's a mistake I can see him make. I think he is scum. Honorable mention; Michael: He has been acting wird, and has not helped the town a lot with his ramblings, but I'm afraid he might be another Esther. Confused town, maybe. Not sure. Out of all the people not on my list, he is the most suspicious. With that said, my list is based on which combination of six people is improbable to be scum. One flaw would be if there are not, in fact, six people in the scum team. I'll just assume six because that's a natural number considering the amount of people in this town. Where could I err? I think, the person who is most likely to wrongfully be included in the scum team I think is most likely (Prudence, Abigail, Liz, Carletta, Kenneth, Clay/Boris) is Kenneth. The person who is most likely to not be included is Michael, due to the fact that he has almost been bandwagonned before. I'll keep my vote on Abigail, for now. To me, she's the most suspcious here. By the way, Jessioca was suspicious of Boris before she died, but because he switched his vote from Connie to Beatrice while pretending to be policy voting. Because of that, she said she came to think Connie was scum and Beatrice town the night before she died, but as we all know now, that's not true. Just in case anyone cares to know.

So, voting is finally open. I'll go with what I said before, and vote: Abigail Nelson (Adam)

Oops...

Well, I didn't count every small accusation, of course, but generally scum try to keep as far from each other as possible. And they don't want to shift the spotlight over to their teammates. We haven't lynched any scum members so far, and most of the bandwagons were against people who were lynched later on (or died), so I see no reason why scum should raise serious points against a team member. I disregarded anything like "I'm suspicious of x, y and z" if it wasn't followed up by a decent explanation. Also, nobody else I know about knew of her role. Except for the scum, I guess, because why would they have killed her otherwise? She was suspected by some. Also, the scum couldn't pull what you described of unless they knew that the investigator is dead, and that nobody else was in contact with them, which they can't. I wouldn't even have mentioned that we lost our investigator, but I'm afraid that we are awfully close to losing (one more wrong lynch, one more bad poison kill, one more scum kill and it's probably 7 vs. 6). And, unfortunately, there's nobody who was successfully investigated, excpet for me, but I can't prove that of course. Kimberly was investigated on the night she was killed, and than we lost our investigator yesterday. Because I believe in my theory and because she hasn't been particularly helpful anyway I'll vote: Abigail Nelson (Adam) I'm willing to switch to Liz or Prudence, since they're in most groups I deem probable as well, if someone thinks they are more scummy.

Yes, I think that would be the best course of action. No idea who they are, but since they have killed our suspects, I don't want them revealed to the scum. Anyway, I've spent a bit of time thinking about everything, and I have tried to find out who is most likely to be in the same scum group. I assumed that there are six scum members, because that seems to be the usual number. With 15 people (excluding me) left alive, and six of them scum, there are 5005 possible combinations, and I eliminated all the ones I think are unlikely (due to people not working together, accusing each other etc.) and now there are five combinations of six people left that I think are likely. These are: - Kane - Carletta - Kenneth - Prudence - Liz - Abigail - Kane - Damien - Prudence - Abigail - Kenneth and either Carletta or Tony - Prudence - Abigail - Carletta - Liz - Kenneth and either Clay or Boris Prudence, Kenneth and Abigail are in all of them. I'm not sure if I'm accurate regarding Kenneth, he was very quiet on the first two days (before he changed comepletely), which distorts the results. Also, I don't think Kane actually is scum, because he voted yesterday for Jessica, who was scumkilled last night. By the way, you may wonder why the scum killed Jessica? She was the investigator. My best guess is that they role-copped and then killed her. So, voting for your victim right before you kill them is not the smartest scum move (unless there's a bandwagon going on), which leads me to believe it was not a scum move at all. I'm not sure about Boris, though, who also voted for her, because he didn't start it and left it immediately, as if he was called back by his buddies. Hence I think the most likely combinations are the last two ones.

We're not in a good situation. We have lost a lot of townies and what's worse is, that we don't have anyone who can be trusted. I've got a few suspects (to some extent, everyone's a suspect), but most of them only because they haven't added much into the discussion. That applies to a suprising lot of people here, which makes the whole scum-finding a lot harder...

Why so impatient? I've seen entire games...of life...without much help from any power roles. Going for people for their behavior is the standard way of finding scum, with power roles only being supplementary.

Are you mixing up Boris with Michael or am I missing something there? I agree that it's strange how quick Boris is to unvote with few reason to do so, though.

Okay, Zachary's dead. That's one suspect less. Can't wait to learn what side he was on, I hope it will be revealed tomorrow. A poisoner seems to be the most likely explanation for his sudden demise, but I could be wrong, of course. I don't think he was killed by the scum; a vigilante would have good reason to poison Zachary, but it could be an independent who is trying to work with the town. Why announce you have a suspect when you are not going to reveal them? And why only via PM and not in public? Gotta say, I'm not convinced. You haven't been particularly helpful, and with Zachary gone, you are firmly on top of my suspicion list. I'll vote: Connie (Clanure)
