    NIGHT 3

    It had been a few very long days and the last one had been no different. Even though no one had died, the fact that they had to vote for the death of another guest who might have been innocent, started to get to some of the current residents of Sesame Peak. Our guitar player wasn't one of them though, or so it seemed, since later that night he picked up his instrument again, playing another one of his favourite tunes:



    Few of the guests up on the mountain could find peace and rest for the night. Everyone was finding himself some means of defence, whether it was a baseball bat, a knife from the kitchen area or just a log from the fire wood supply. They holed up in their rooms and none were out playing cards this night. Only one of them could relax. He had cheated death once already during this week and now he was going to celebrate his 'pardoning' with the wonderful bottle of wine in front of him. It was his last bottle of Château Mouton Rothschild 1928 and he was going to enjoy every last drop of it.

    He had settled into one of the major lounge areas and even had two more glasses prepared, ready to share this exquisite drink, should any of the other guests be in a mood to celebrate Jules' survival of this day's lynch. And soon enough one of the other guests appeared and approached Jules, smiling.

    "I see you are in good spirits. Nothing wrong with that, I guess, since you survived today, even though you had most of the votes."

    "Yes. It seems someone has taken a liking to me. Care for a drink in celebration of my survival?"

    The other guest took the bottle carefully and examined the label. "Wow. Oh most certainly, this is truly an incredible wine and I would be honored to share it with you."

    "So you are a wine connoisseur as well I take it?"

    "Yes, not as well educated as you probably are but I am well able to know a fantastic wine when I see it." He put the bottle down and in the movement he accidentally pushed the glasses off the table, breaking all three of them. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm such a clumsy fellow."

    "Don't worry, it's just the glasses, right? Could you get new ones from the kitchen. I'll clean up this mess in the meantime."

    The other guest nodded and when he returned a few minutes later the shards of glass were all cleaned up, they both sat down on opposite sides of a couch table and Jules poured the wine. They both took their glasses and Jules thought about a toast but the other guest was quicker.

    "To your death."

    Now Jules raised an eyebrow and saw the wicked smile and sharp look on the other's face and set his glass back down as did his drinking companion. Jules shook his head in disbelief. "So you are...?"

    "Yes, I suppose I am."

    "And my wine?"

    "Poisoned. Just one of the glasses of course as I intend to enjoy this wonderful drink while you enjoy your last moments on earth."

    "And why should I not just call the other guests and tell them to get rid of you?"

    "Well, first of all, everyone here knows that you are the great vinedresser and that this is your wine. As soon as you start calling I will call all the louder and I will simply tell them that they were right when voting you today and you just tried to poison me. Second, you think you know so much about wine that you will certainly smell the poison, figuring out which of the glasses is not poisoned and since I will let you choose, you will want to take this chance to get rid of me yourself, be a hero. Thirdly, and this is the most important reason, this is a Château Mouton Rothschild 1928 we are talking about and if you have even the slightest chance to find the correct glass you will not let this go to waste."

    Jules seemed to think about this for a moment before he leaned forward, sniffing at both of the glasses for a few minutes until he sat back down. "None of the glasses smell weird." The other just shrugged, so Jules continued: "I might as well try to figure out what kind of a man you are. Would you put the poison into my glass or into your own? You are most certainly smart and no intelligent man will put the poison into his own glass, so I can definitely not choose the wine in front of me, but on the other hand you might also assume that I reason this way and so I cannot choose the wine in front of you..."

    This went on for a few minutes, until Jules was staring at his opponent, exhausted from arguing with himself while the other just looked at him, strangely amused it seemed. "Look, there!", Jules suddenly pointed to the far end of the room but he only earned laughter from the other guest.

    "This won't work, friend. I've seen the movie too, now make your choice."

    The next morning they discovered Jules Nightbringer on the floor, a glass still in his hand, most of it's content spilled, his face a painful expression. The other glass on the table was empty, no other signs of the killer were found, except for a piece of paper that had been left next the bottle of wine:

    This old man, he played four
    He played knick knack just once more
    With a knick knack paddywhack
    Give a dog a bone
    This old man came rolling home


    Alex, the janitor, soon entered the scene as he had been called by some of the guests and he took Nightbringer's glass, sniffed it and exclaimed: "Potassium Cyanide."

    "How would you know?", one of the guests asked.

    "I drink it for breakfast. Strengthens my immune system. Anyway, this is starting to worry me. Do something right today."

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    Nightbringer was Jules, the Vinedresser. His alignment was town.


    It is now DAY 3!

    Voting closes tomorrow, Monday, 11 P.M. CET / 5 P.M. US Eastern. Votes after the deadline will not be counted, unless there is a tie. If there's a tie the first vote to break it after the deadline decides.

    Since I got nothing else, i'm going to follow CB, on hunch. Vote: Autolycus.

    FYI Diamnond Eye is, in fact, nuetral. Could be a cover role, of course.

    I'm curious why Autocyclus?

    As for finding scum, there's just nothing in the write-up that's giving me any leads. The only scans I am fed are scans that can only detect nuetrals.

    If anyone got any interesting results back from their night actions, feel free to PM or post it.

    I doubt DE has a neutral cover role. Too suspect

    As do I. It leaves too convenient of a place for the mafia to hide because when Auto turns out innocent everyone is going to lynch Captain Blackadder, who is either innocent lynch bait or mafia himself and willing to take one for the team. Therefore I'm going to Vote Captain Blackadder until I get a convincing reason as to why he is voting for Auto

    Pretty much. And if Auto is mafia you can bet our dear Captain will be next on the chopping block anyone, so there's no real need to be vague about this.

    This is the quote that gets me about Blackadder. Thing is, my 2 sources were right, and didn't directly have anything to do with C_H getting lynched, so asking for my sources really irked me.

    Then, after stating several times that he hates the blind justice, he wants us to commit to it here. I am in no way saying autocyclus is not guilty, I would just like for Blackadder to play by his own rules.

    Certainly I was thinking that myself when I wrote the post.

    Anyway my source is myself Autolycus role is called John the Mechanic he is mafia.My role is a jack of all trades I have a one shot investigation plus various other abilities which I will not reveal here. Last night I decided to investigate autolycus i got a mafia result back on him. There is nothing more that I can say really. Trust me or not lynch me first then lynch autolycus when you see I was honest or lynch autolycus and see me killed tonight. Either way it ends with my death.

    Well, seeing as my access to totalwar.org has been playing up a little and I have no intention of being WoGed, I should probably vote now. It seems autolycus is the best option, seeing as CB would know he'll be lynched tomorrow if he's shown to be lying, and there was no real suspicion on autolycus that would cause him to take one for the team. Soon find out, I suppose.

    vote:autolycus

    I think it had less to do with you being saved from lynch and more to do with you admitting to having bodyguard abilities :P

    Fair enough, Blackadder. Thanks for the info.

    I dont know if busdrives could affect investigation results w/o letting you know you got switched, but I am 99% sure thats not what happened. The mafia may not come after you tonight because they both expect us to expect it and also because with your one-shot invesigation drained, you are less of a threat.

    There seem to be a lot of one shot powers involved here. I know of 3, and would be willing to bet the lynch-block was also a one time deal. This could make late game very interesting as we may be out of skillz
