Nope, it was really vague - but does (not directly quoting) "lose control of body" sound like being recruited?

@NotStan I assume Radish is talking about the same thing that made you say you thought we had a cult?

In Halo there's a faction of enemies called the flood. They take over human bodies, their leader is called gravemind

Indeed, but you said my role didn't make sense. Not that my character didn't make sense.

unvote: Nacho

It is clear this isn't going to be as easy as the previous days.

So you don't believe my claim?

Our enemy is someone with ability to possess. I am a conspiracy theorist, and because I always wear my helmet, or a tin foil hat then I cannot be possessed. Pretty much a vanilla townie that cannot be possessed. One of the scum had exactly the same sub role. I don't like linkz silence in the slightest, so I think if anyone we should go after him unless he made any definitive claims or contributions that I missed?

"Just as the point man motioned to go over the top and see what they were facing, a crack in the clouds shock the earth and a bolt of lightning blazed down from the sky, striking a man on the edge of the group. His armour absorbed most of the energy, but screaming he stood up and flung out his arm, the charge flying off and just missing another man. Needless to say all eyes were now on him, all previous actions forgotten in shock."

This could explain why I got no result from Nacho, because all night actions failed. It also explains the lack of a night kill. What I don't understand though is radish receiving a message that he was possessed, maybe the action failed because of Spurge?

Btw Yoshiya, did you something like "no result/nothing happened" when you used your action on Nacho.

I think there's a Gravemind player out here, and to me it's between Supermario and Linkz. Supermario has at least name claimed so I want to hear what Linkz thinks of him being Cortana. Cortana could be a safeclaim for Gravemind, or it could be Linkz is the one who is really the recruiter.

"Just as the point man motioned to go over the top and see what they were facing, a crack in the clouds shock the earth and a bolt of lightning blazed down from the sky, striking a man on the edge of the group. His armour absorbed most of the energy, but screaming he stood up and flung out his arm, the charge flying off and just missing another man. Needless to say all eyes were now on him, all previous actions forgotten in shock."

Spurge did say that he targeted Nacho, correct? Also he said that if he hit town,  he would die. Both players survived, as the flavor pretty much confrims. I don't think Lighting Rod can target a player though. Spurge, do you have an X shot power?

I think that a massclaim from the remaining players should be in order. I am Commander Miranda Keyes, Vanilla Town. If you haven't claimed and you read this, claim in your next post.

I think that Yoshiya, ABC, Spurge, NotStan, and Radish are almost all definitively not-cult leader, meaning that my choice is pretty much inbetween Linkz and Mario. I lean Mario. Linkz has been an instrument in getting Prof and HappyD killed, which isn't impossible to do as third party, but it seems unlikely to me that third party would be so adamant in killing all of the mafia. Mario, on the other hand, has softclaimed Cortana... and that's about it. I don't quite remember any strong pushes he's made, any interesting moves that he's made... only that he's softclaimed Cortana. The line "all of this doesn't matter and neither does my role" seems suspicious to me and I didn't like it at all; it's a deflection away from his role, which tells me he doesn't have his fakeclaim down pat quite yet.

So,
Vote: Supermario

The flavor from last night also suggests that Spurge's lightning rod power works a lot more like a global roleblock as opposed to anything else. An action that kills the player if they are scum and kills the user if they are town is something more like guilty vig. But if all actions were redirected onto spurge (mafia, kill) then it makes sense that no kill occurred. What doesn't make sense is that Radish was still recruited last night.
