I gathered early at the gallows with the rest of the townsfolk. Pa told me I would have no say, but I keenly listened while everyone discussed who would be fitted for the noose. Many voiced concern over holding any lynch at all, to the point that I thought a decision might be made before high noon, and I'd have to spend the rest of the day playing with ant holes in the abandoned lot. That though quickly disappeared as accusations began to fly every which way. By dusk, two small mobs had formed around two individuals; however, it seemed as if no consensus could be made as to which would meet his maker. A decision was made to put the rope around an individual that had been quiet for most of the day until called out for doing such. He tried defending himself, but it was no use. As his footing was removed from below him and his neck snapped as his body dropped, a paper flew out of his jacket revealing his identity.

padib was lynched. He was Town Mason Recruiter

A sense of panic struck the crowd, as they realized they would have to return in the morning with fresh minds to pick at the issue again. I made my way back to my home and warm bed, as did everyone else; everyone else other than someone who was assumedly still silently contemplating as he had done most of the day. The truth was...

TruckOSaurus has died. Alignment and Role will be revealed at the start of Day Two.

You are dead town, shhhh

~* Night One Ends, Day Two Begins *~

I didn't sleep much. Nerves, I guess. After breakfast, I followed Pa back to the center of town where everyone else was discovering one man had never made it home. Checking through his belongings, we realized

TruckOSaurus was Town Vanilla

A head count revealed we were a man short, which was not totally unexpected. It's why we were metting to hold these hangings after all. Before getting started, a small group went to check on the missing man. They returned shortly with the news that

Clyde32 was killed. He was Town Vanilla

Day Two will end Monday at 7PM Eastern.

Reminder: Everyone only has two votes a Day from now on. With 9 people alive, 9 votes are required to hammer a lynch during the first 24 hours, after which 7 votes are needed.

Good morning, everyone. Spurge, I'm still waiting for your answer(s).

As far as the flips go, nothing jumps out at me from seeing TOS and Clyde flip townie. padib being a mason recruiter was certainly an interesting tidbit; it implies a stronger scum presence. That, or the masons were supposed to substitute for an absent cop, or something along those lines. Does anyone want to claim that they were his mason buddy?

I'll be back later with, hopefully, more and better thoughts.

IMO the biggest thing to take away from TOS's death is not why they killed him (though that's certainly important) but the fact that they did it at all. I don't remember the last time we had day-kills. If it's a town day-vigilante, they were pretty stupid IMO. Day killing serial killer maybe? What ideas do you guys have about this?

Doesn't a mason recruiter usually start alone and gathers people? But really, there is only one person in question.

BTW, I do not believe that the second kill was an SK kill (yet)

I guess vig shot trucks and scum killed clyde.

Could there be a day killer? Maybe a day vig?

• I typed this before the flip but screw I’m keeping it
If Clyde was scum I think he would of jumped on the opportunity to lynch, especially with the number of people on board with the lynch. Speaking of the lynch, I still believe Padib responded poorly for being put on the spot for lurking. Prof, Final Fan, and I’s reaction to him was very normal- ie he came off very defensive and scummy like. If any prof or FF turn out scum, good game because you’ve fooled me. I feel like you are behaving like town. And yes, even Prof who I earlier suspected.

My eyes are and still on Blade not for the dagger votes, but because he voted without the same conviction as say Prof and FF. Blade’s pre-clause of voting me if Padib flips town also seems untown like. A town would want to see how day 2 plays out. And the final note on him is that he actually sided with Padib in saying my number crunching was “iffy” and “a way to wipe away suspicion”. But that didn’t stop him from turning around and voting Padib. Usually opinions transition and you see the change in someones thoughts when they have a change of heart on someone. He didn’t even justify his vote. Only that he would vote me if Padib is town. Blade’s last 3 posts were: Where’s Trucks, hatmoza is fishing for a lynch, oops let me just vote Padib anyway AFTER DISAGREEING WITH MY METHOD.

But I want to be careful with my 3 votes today before I even consider his lynch. Plus I still want to find more connections. Again, Darwin is getting nothing but town reads from me. So is SWORD but damn he could be such a better player if he didn’t let his impulses control his words and actions. Maybe he needs a few more games to see things logically and not emotionally.

I got a late town read on trucks, Doctor read more specifically. Someone else saw it and I believe that’s why he was targeted. Scum has at least one seasoned player who sniffed out the doctor.
Which brings me to my scum list. Blade is at the top, Stefl is still there, but I’m adding Spurge.

I agree with FF’s notion that mason may have been a substitute for cop.

What do you know. It actually does look Trucks was day killed. I did not expect that in a Vanilla game.
It's crucial we balance the odds today and successfully lynch scum.
