    It seems like they're still alive... So I'm guessing they're either going to recover (unlikely) or just spend the day phase melting.

    Isn't it better to vote for one of them if the might die this evening?

    atheotes watched Chaotix in horror, and then began panicking. It seemed his own skin was also transforming, until the eruptions covered his entire body. He howled in agony, and pleaded to be put to a swift and merciful death.
    vote: atheotes Chaotix is probably a greater loss

    Why would you do that? Shouldn't you vote for somebody who could potentially be scum? Otherwise, it's just equivalent to an abstain vote (cue Montmorency extolling the virtues of abstinence ).

    So you know for certain who is scum? If we can't find a scum it's better to vote for someone that might die of "natural" causes rather than a random townie.

    It is possible the Darkling's evil powers are varied, but still no direct 'night kill'. Whether Jarema was 'set up' or indeed was himself one of these foul beasts to begin with, we need fear him no more - but if the affliction suffered now by Atheotes and Chaotix is caused by Darklings, that suggests that two Darklings are still present in the village and we should probably assume that the afflicted are innocent. If however, this evil that has fallen upon us acts like a plague, then Atheotes and Chaotix are indeed a danger to us all - but I do not believe in this second theory. I believe the Darkling - or Darklings that remain have cursed Chaotix and Atheotes with this affliction in the hope that we shall waste time lynching them.

    After reviewing the events since the Pastor told us of this Darkling threat, It is my opinion that White Eyes :D has said much, but done little more than obfusticate and sow confusion. He propounds the theory of the 'disease' -p a throey to which I do not subscribe - and his vote on Chaotix - when Jarema was the obvious choice for the lynch - smacks to me of an attempt to protect his fellow demon. Look at Chaotix now! He lies on the floor of Gods house - alongside Atheotes with his face melting.

    We do not know if they shall survive - but it seems fooilsh to me to waste time putting them out of their misery instead of seeking out the one - or ones who did this to them.

    I do not like to vote to kill a member of this community without cast iron proof, but we have no choice, lest more of us suffer the fate of Chaotix and Atheotes.

    So I vote: White_Eyes :D

    I still don't think lynching Jarema was a good idea, I don't think it was that easy to investigate by visiting and it was a ATPG type trap. I am rarely wrong about these things...but who knows until its over.

    Your trying hard to control the lynch and that is giving me scum vibes.

    I am making no attempt to 'control' the vote. I am simply attempting to get people to explain themselves.

    Err...

    Apparently I woke up today and found out I'm in constant agony. It's exactly what it seems like in the write-up. I assume the same is going for atheotes...

    No mention of who might have visited me. As I said, I visited no one.


    I have no idea what to do about this. I might die. Or I might become possessed. Or it might be a false alarm designed to scare you all into voting for me. It might very well be a good idea to get rid of atheotes and I. But if you do, remember that the guy who's doing this is still out there, and he's the one we have to catch.

    One thing is for sure: the Darkling caused it, and he forfeited his night kill to do it. I bet atheotes visited me last night, and that's why he caught the disease too. It's likely that since I asked people to visit me, the Darkling thought he could afflict a bunch of people with it.

    Vote: edse

    Troll logic. Killing innocents since they're going to die gets us nowhere, in the same way that killing nobody gets us nowhere. The lynch is a tool to be used, and it's the only one we have.

    I'm starting to believe less and less that Jarema was guilty.

    I distrust the visiting mechanic. It seems to be a trap in my eyes.

    In any case I am curious as to what happens after this day in regards to chaotix and atheotes. Especially if one is lynched.

    Well we were told that it may trigger events, but on the whole would be uneventful

    I think that the only result of such a lynching would be that the Darklings would have been successful in their ruse. The effects of their affliction may only last a day. They may be real or imagined, but I am getting the impression that the Darklings powers are illusory and very much suited to getting real villagers to turn on one another.

    "Darkling?"

    "A terrifying demon capable of making itself look just like an ordinary human being. They prey on the weak and the innocent, tormenting their victims and causing them to suffer unimaginably, before finally ending their lives. Sometimes, the victims go mad just from the presence of these beings."
    EDIT: Having just bolded that text it totally contradicts what I was guessing at above: Maybe Chaotix and Atheotes are in fact just dead men walking. However it does reinforce my belief that a lynch vote for either is a wasted vote

    Ninja'd indeed - but I don't believe you are guilty. You also need to revote as you've edited.
