Just hypothetically speaking, if my vote had tied affairs would that have still meant Montmorency was lynched (as he was the first to the highest vote count)?

[atheotes]

I believe so.

Yes. A lead change has to take place for someone besides the original leader to be lynched.

Example of vote switches and how they affect the lynchee, in chronological order-

Candidate A = 4 votes (leader)
Simple lead = lynchee

Candidate A = 4 votes (still leader)
Candidate B = 4 votes
Was in the lead, but now tied = lynchee

Candidate A = 4 votes (still leader)
Candidate B = 3 votes
No longer tied but still leader = lynchee

Candidate A = 3 votes (still leader)
Candidate B = 3 votes
Vote removed to create another tie, but was leader before vote switch = lynchee

Candidate B = 4 votes (new leader)
Candidate A = 3 votes
New leader = A is not lynchee anymore

Candidate B = 4 votes (still leader)
Candidate A = 4 votes
Even if return to status quo, new leader is lynchee.

I'm under time constraints, so I'm extending the night phase another day. I encourage everyone to send in actions or at least let me know that they abstain from doing so.

Thanks for your patience, we'll get into a rhythm and get rolling soon. 5-6am is too late for me to be processing orders.

Round will end by midnight today.

[Visor]

What's that in AEST (GMT +10)?

[classical_hero]

His time is GMT-5, so work that out for yourself.

[Obvious WIFOM]I abstain from taking actions tonight, Pizza[/Obvious WIFOM]

[Askthepizzaguy]

I abstain from posting the writeup until I've had a nap. You wouldn't believe the nonsense i went through at work today.

Sleepy time then writeup.

[Arjos]

Sleepy time then writeup.

Just joking ^^

[Askthepizzaguy]

Doing it now, they called me into work early. Sheesh.

Serious this time.

"Lord, protect me from harm and watch over me tonight." said LazyMcCrow.
He stepped cautiously, careful not to make any noises. He was clearly trespassing now, and turning back could be just as dangerous as going forward. But he was compelled to continue his mission...

Closer and closer he crept, until he was just outside the bedroom window. He looked inside to see if a creature was stirring, and he could see nothing. Slowly, he sneaked around to the back door of the house.

He stepped quietly on the porch steps, and slid the crowbar in between the door and the jamb. With a few strong tugs, the back door cracked open.

LazyMcCrow stood silently, waiting for any sign that he had been caught in the act. Slowly he turned, step by step, inch by inch... into the house he went.

He noticed something unusual about this house. There were weapons hung against the wall in every room, some kinds he recognized, some he did not. LazyMcCrow raised the crowbar above his head... he heard something in the next room.

It sounded strange.... almost like a powerful animal devouring a meal. He took another step closer, and the floorboards creaked loudly. Suddenly the animal noises stopped, and LazyMcCrow froze in place.

"....Jarema?" whispered LazyMcCrow.






.....................





The door to the basement tore off its hinges, and a large figure stepped into the dimly lit living room. The figure was breathing heavily, and drooling. It was holding something.... LazyMcCrow took a step backward, trying to step out of sight, but the figure saw him, and began screeching incomprehensibly. The figure charged forward and began beating LazyMcCrow with a large metallic object, knocking the crowbar out of his hands. The figure snarled, and began clawing at the prone LazyMcCrow. Suddenly, LazyMcCrow heard a loud gunshot, and he was sure that he was dead.

But he felt his body, and he was mostly unharmed. The dark figure was standing over him, roaring madly. The gun fired again, smashing furniture and breaking various items. LazyMcCrow didn't think twice and bolted for the nearest window, and kicked the glass as hard as he could, diving through the opening just as he heard terrible noises catching up with him. He ducked as he heard another gunshot, more out of instinct than anything else.

He didn't look back, but if he did, he would have seen a pair of red eyes watching him from inside the darkened structure.

LazyMcCrow survived.

All results should be out, if I missed you please PM me.

[LazyMcCrow]

Well - The 'I'm innocent you know' comment that Jarema made seemed almost SO blatant that I thought he might just be telling the truth.
But my snooping has obviously laid that lie bare.
I don't know who also visited Jarema's house last night, but it is clear I owe you my life - even if you did not manage to kill the beast that is pretending to be Jarema, you saved me and I am grateful.
Let us do what we should have done yesterday and lynch a demon instead of an innocent.

vote: Jarema

[Ishmael]

Are we to infer from this that Jarema is mafia, or am I missing something?

[LazyMcCrow]

No - not mafia per se - you know - just some slavering demonic beast.
Of course mafia! I thought the wagon on Montmorency was fishy and I had either Jarema or Double A to pick from as waggoning scum. Looks like I got lucky. I do not have any powers, but thought I would try to sneak a peek at Jarema and if it hadn't been for some kind of solider/hunter I wouldn't be talking to you now.

[Ishmael]

Sorry, I have this habit of stating/questioning the obvious sometimes . Well, unless Jarema comes up with a very good excuse, I suppose I should vote for him.

vote: Jarema

[White_eyes:D]

No - not mafia per se - you know - just some slavering demonic beast.
Of course mafia!

I had a good laugh at this.

Pizzaguy hates absolute scans, your going to need more to convince me that Jarema is scum.(can't discount it though)

I mean if you look at the write-up, it seems to be telling it from LazyMcCrow's perspective. All I see is that LazyMcCrow is a little crazy.

[Ishmael]

But it does seem like a mechanic with suitable balancing - presumably, judging by the write-up, if you visit mafia and don't have somebody protecting you then you'll die.

EDIT: And White Eyes, I'm very disappointed that you didn't make a 'Crazy McCrow' pun.

[White_eyes:D]

What strikes me as odd, is that we have no idea what the "Darklings" do.*Uses finger quotes*

I keep rereading it and while LazyMcCrow strikes me as a little crazy, I can't deny that Jarema is scum. Could there be some kind of possession mechanic going on?

[Captain Blackadder]

Personally speaking I think it would be best to vote for Jarema at this point but do not pile on enough that it can't be reversed if he comes up with something very good.

Vote: Jarema

[LazyMcCrow]

I didn't 'Scan' anything - As I said, I don't have any powers. Was I the only person to 'visit' someone else last night? If all you see is that I'm a little crazy - fine - let's lynch Jarema and if he doesn't turn in to a red-eyed drooling servant of Satan when we slip the noose over his neck, then I'll take an appropriate treatment of leeches.

[Captain Blackadder]

I visited someone and got nothing from my one.

[atheotes]

If Jarema were scum, why wasn't he out killing. Also, Interesting to note is that there were no kills last night...

Before speculating further, i would like to hear what Jarema has to say.

[edse]

Vote: Jarema I would say that we should be careful visiting each other at night if it triggers the demons.

[LazyMcCrow]

Vote: Jarema I would say that we should be careful visiting each other at night if it triggers the demons.

But Capt. Blackadder said he visited someone and nothing happened there, so that kind of renders your caution moot. I think Atheotes has a point though: If Jarema is scum then why wasn't he out killing? Well let's hear what he has to say.

[Captain Blackadder]

The only thing that I could think of was similar to Auto's game that with some players visiting them may result in you converting to the scum. There will be something where visiting certain players results in bad stuff happening. It is simply a question of pro's and cons if Jarema flips scum then it has being worth it if not then we shall have to see what happens.

[classical_hero]

vote:Jarema on lack of any other good result.

[Jarema]

I would tell you all that I konw (of course, I do not think everyone would believe me...). It does not sound very good for me. Maybe after my death town will use it
1. I wasn't in my house. I mean, I went to visit Chaotix. Description is vague, but it seems to indicate that I was not sure where I went. I do not know if you can meet someone in his own house if he went out? (does all night visits happen simultaneously?)
2. I am a gunsmith. Maybe this is why there is so much weapons in my house. MAYBE even I saved you when I returned home...
3. Anyway, I have no info about anything happening at my house. I have 3 hpothesis about it:
a) I was out and this is why I do not know anything. It just happened, that a beast and two others visited me at night
b) I am a beast, but I do not know about it. Some kind of werewolf who thinks he is normal townie...
c) some ability, similar to bus driver, switched some results

EDIT: there is also a notion, that even mere presence of darkling can drive people mad. Maybe it has something to do with it?

[Jarema]

I will vote: Chaotix because my visit at his place either didnt success or something strange happened there
