• Please respect the 50 posts per day postcap, it will be released one hour before EoD.
• Please use the Vote: Taffy format. As usual, :00 posts/votes are good, :01 posts/votes bad.
• Tied votes will be decided at random.
• Starting D2 you will be able to end the day early with a majority vote, but not before every living player has posted.
• Please do not post at night or after dying unless you have a power that explicitly says you can.
• Please do not quote or screenshot from discord or other forms of host communication. Paraphrasing is fine.

• If your circumstances have changed and you cannot play, please tell me before game start and I will try to find a sub for you.

• Please be respectful of your fellow players. Remember to attack arguments, not people.

[Totally not Taffy]

Dear Readers,

It is with great joy that I present to you my humble collection of hagiographies of some of our lesser-known (though certainly not lesser!) saints and martyrs. Together we shall explore the exciting lives of these exalted defenders of the faith and their often woeful yet immer inspiring demise.

My sincerest thanks go to Professor Doctor Emeritus Chaton, whose depth of knowledge on the subject was invaluable in tracking down and verifying some of the more obscure stories I am proud to include here, and without whose feedback my work could not boast half its academic merit. Of course none of it had been possible without the relentless support of my husband, whose cooking kept me going through the darkest hours of my research. Finally, all my love to my cat Arwen, forever ready to pur in my lap and walk on my keyboard to provide the necessary breaks.

Without further ado, let's get started!

wolf?

[EnderWiggin]

wolf?

Coyote!

[Murska]

Uh huh. Are we getting into gameplay now?

I don't believe in 'I was just pretending to be a wolf as bait'. And then what, wolves will vote for you because you're acting suspicious? But also townies will vote for you because you're acting suspicious?

[dyachei]

i don’t think arctic was intentionally trying to bait people (doubt that’s what jan meant either)

more so that arctic kept making posts one after another that he recognized were all terrible whereas if he was a wolf he might take more care to not come off that way

maybe a dumb read though, ymmv

[Logic]

I'm gonna vote Vanta and see where the cards lie.
This is Texas hold-em, Vanta. What's in your pocket?

[Totally not Taffy]

I'm gonna vote: Vanta and see where the cards lie.

ftfy

I search for votes with ctrl F "vote:" so if you leave the colon off you'll end up getting Caped

[Visor]

Thrilling push friend

Sometimes boring gets the job done.

Besides, it's the one I'm most confident in.

[nebjiamn]

?Vote: GH

[nebjiamn]

Think dyas posting has been better as they’ve had time to engage more with the game but I do still have a nagging feeling they just hit their stride and had a tough time starting

I have another thought there re: Arctic and their read on him but I will wait to articulate that til i get home and can read a bit more and also write a bit more on it if needed

Why do you think they are a wolf?

[Logic]

Why do you think they are a wolf?

Very lackluster presence, and when here, seems content to go with the flow to a degree I do not find towny. Present reaction to my miniscule pressure leads me to believe that I am right.

[Vanta Black]

Lol

Thrilling push friend

to be fair I'm probably the LHF here.

[Vanta Black]

Between keeping the players straight in my head and trying to figure out how to get a votecount (ack, math? really?) I'm pretty much at sea here. To mix a metaphor.

Based on the last votecount I think I like the composition on Syn the best and would probably sheep that vote if I voted right now.

I have seen Ender's scum game and it's pretty scary. Have a lot of respect for his town game, too. But which is it? Research required. Kinda leaning town though atm.

[Murska]

Hello. Just woke up for eod. Yes I'm European.

I'm a town PR, protective.

[Arctic]

[GeneralHankerchief]

reread both Gemma and Syn

opinion didn't really change on either, lol

[GeneralHankerchief]

btw if there's a PR with the ability to clear people, please do so w/r/t me tonight, I feel like I'm careening towards being the d3 no matter what happens here and I'd like to avoid that if possible
