She linked it in the OP. I've never seen her do that before.

Well it looks like I'll be lynched tonight.
MZ, I think you were correct early on in the day regarding Higgs.
IE: 3 teams. Irre could not recruit higgs and was somehow led to believe she was scum. If higgs was lynched or vig killed and flipped scum then Irre looked P. good. Unfortunately Irre was killed first.
I think lynching Higgs will tell us a lot about this game setup.
Think about this after I’m gone.
If there are 3 teams the Gib and Squid Would have been a good recruit.

Fucking three teams? If Denny flips town, I reckon 3 town left under a 3 team scenario.
unvote
Still think Charlou was the ideal recruit though.
I'm only on to UT for asking the vig to out.
It's dumb. There's no way the vig would have killed Feck.
A one-shot vig wasting a shot on a complete guess on night 1. Crazy talk.

Re the bolded part ... I would have been if irre could still recruit at that point. The more I think about it, the more the scenario I outlined seems most plausible. We made a pivotal lynch on day one which disarmed irre and helped both town and scum as a result. I think this may have started out as a three team game but is now effectively a two team game.

[Magicziggy]

Still can't make my mind up over this 2 vs 3 thing.

vote charlou

I think she was the ideal recruit.
That's just something for the vig to think about really.
Depends how Denny flips.

xpost with charlou

This I'm not buying at all. Irre was a cult leader. She didn't need Mantis to recruit. Oblivion actually linked the wiki on this.

[Magicziggy]

Plus Mantis wins with scum, not with a third party alignment.
This points to three teams and points to Higgs being scum again.
Fuck, it's doing my head in.

[mononoke]

when is the day ending?

[Magicziggy]

Some directions for the vig...
I have no fucking idea.
Higgs, Charlou or UT depending on whether you fancy 2 teams or 3 teams.
Higgs if you fancy 3, Charlou for 2. UT for either.

And scum, be careful if you want to take me out.
But I think you know that already.

NIGHTFALL!

[oblivion]

You're a little surprised to find DennyB at the Calling Card when you go off hunting for him. You send him on his way, and watch him walk off the lot with a bit of a hitch, tossing a baseball from hand to hand.



DennyB was Jonesy the roustabout and was vanilla carnie.

Night actions are due in 11 hours. If they are all in early, I might start the next day a little early.

[charlou]

ooops didn't notice nightfall and the locked thread.

[oblivion]

This morning, just inside the Mentalist tent, you find UselessTwit, pool of blood, and obligatory 45 caliber bullet.



UselessTwit was Lodz, former vanilla carnie and a cult member.

[higgs2]

Do we have a vig and no scum? Seems like we'd be at parity at this point with 16 players and only 6 left. Have to be at least 3 scum. Unless they were recruited, if they can be. MZ, Charlou, anyone else that will post: wtf is going on do you think? Need to go back and scour UT's posts again.

[Callan]

Looks like 3 town, 3 (recruited) scum and today's lynch as the decider?
As of last night, I was confident of Higgs and MZ as town - and as I strongly suspect them both of being specials and therefore unrecruitable, I'd guess they still are town.
I'm aware that this is a fuck-load of ifs.

This leaves us with Charlou, Gib and Squid...
If I had been irre I'd have recruited UT like a shot, purely for his evil brains.
Gib and Squid would also have looked like excellent recruiting fodder to me - one brand new (and therefore unreadable) and one still being cut a (little) bit of noob slack.
And if I'd been UT and been left in command on irre's demise, I'd have gone for Charlou last night because she can safely be trusted to smooth talk her way out of most forms of trouble.
Of course, UT was expecting to be alive this morning to help out the rest of his team...

I am inclined to vote for Squid as the most likely recruit of the three. I'd be very interested to hear others' thoughts.

[higgs2]

I was thinking gib or squid although Charlou would be good a more or less cleared townie.
