GOD DAMN IT EDSE I SPENT HOURS ON THAT COSTUME!

OK. That's really the last time I choose paper.

MIDNIGHT of the Second Night



Edse ordered another round from the bartender. "I think you've had enough" said the man behind the counter.

"Now you listen, you. I have a cerfitacate for 100 free beers here right here in this my pocket right here. And I'll tell you when I've had a enough free hundred beers. That's this many."

Edse holds up four fingers.

"See? One hundred beers. You will give me another drink until when after I've told you when I've got a free beers."

"I said, I think you've had enough." repeated the bartender, firmly.

"Oh you think? YOU THINK!? I don't pay you to think, I pay you to give me free beer. And you're not paid to think. I'll tell you when I've given you you've had enough to think about. And it's this many." Edse holds up four fingers. "See? One, two, three, think. Time for another drink."

"Sir, we're closing up shop now. You need to see yourself out, or I'll have to have Smiley escort you out."

The barkeep pointed at the man with a big toothy grin in the corner, who was already cracking his knuckles.

"Well I can tell when I'm not around to be appreciated. You don't have to escort me twice. I can take my businesses to from elsewhere this establishment."

Edse stumbled out of the saloon, determined to cash in the remainder of his gift certificate, when he was approached by a gigantic man in a heavy coat.

"Still feeling thirsty, Edse?" said the voice.

"You read my mind. Waiter, I would like to order your most expensive bottle of wine, and put it on this here gift certificate for free booze here."

"Why, certainly. Right this way, sir, let me get you a table." said the enormous man.

Edse followed the man all the way out into the middle of the desert, where there was a nice table set up, complete with fancy forks, knives, and napkins. And some very old wine. There was also a roaring campfire.

"Table for one. Would Monsieur like to relax for a moment while we open up the wine?"

"Yes I think I'll just take a nap here on this table. Don't forget to bring the free drinks."

"Certainly sir. But the drinks are going to be on you this time." The enormous man began pouring the wine all over Edse.

"Hey, it's raining. Now I'm all wet. Waiter, will you help me out of these wet clothes?"

"Certainly sir. Would you mind rubbing this Worcestershire sauce all over yourself?"

"Hey, it's your dress code. As long as I don't have to rent a jacket and tie." replied Edse

"Not at all sir! In fact, may I be so bold as to say, you look absolutely delicious just the way you are."

"Uh.... thanks. Now where's my expensive bottle of wine? I want to get smashed tonight!"

"Whatever you say, sir." The enormous man replied, flashing his toothy grin.

The enormous man smashed the wine bottle upside Edse's head. Shortly thereafter, Edse was rotating over the campfire, cooking rotisserie-style.

BEGIN DAWN PHASE [12am-5:59am] OF THE SECOND NIGHT.

DAWN PHASE ENDS AT SUNRISE[3:00 AM Thursday the 13th of June, EDT].

[Askthepizzaguy]

Reminder: The dead have a vote which they must PM me. Don't forget to vote, dead people.

[LazyMcCrow]

Well - I say we stick to edse's plan to lynch jht today. I think Edse being kebabbed is supposed to make it look like jht is being framed. I think jht is a scum, disguising himself as a framed townie.

[Zack]

vote: jht

[LazyMcCrow]

vote: jht

When the sun comes up?

[Zack]

Bah. This is confusing. I'm not quite sure why we need an entire 48 hours for a phase where nothing happens.

[johnhughthom]

So you forget I'm scum.

[Zack]

I don't do anything during the Night phase, and the r/p/s phase is just a simple one-word PM. 3/4 of this game is spent sitting and twiddling my thumbs.

[Makrell]

killing edse could just be aplay by the mafia to frame jht, even though lazy said so and it is obvious indeed.

Exactly, the scum team has the ability to shorten each phase, but we are dragging them out as you have us all pegged. We are very confident that this will be succesful, and we will win through townie broken thumbs.

[El Barto]

vote: jht

Hold your horses!

We can always engage in discussion in the meantime, but you can sue the spare time to play GM your game and play the other games you've signed up for.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I can always shorten the phase as soon as the votes are PM'ed.

Come on dead people. Do your thing. *poke*

[Double A]

Just occurred to me that I haven't checked this in awhile, and I actually have a good excuse this time.

See, on Saturday, I went swimming, and like a dumbass, I didn't bring any waterproof sunscreen, so made do with my friend's regular spf 30. To spare you all a bunch of gruesome details, sunburn blisters and bacne get exponentially worse together and my back is probably infected with bacteria. I spent about 4 hours of my Monday night in the worst and sharpest pain I've ever been in, but I'm better now. Mostly.

If I'm not dead, I need a replacement.

[Makrell]

dont yoy ussually just recover from these situations, i might bew off but something strikes me as scummy from that post.

ALL the beer in Belgium! How could anyone resist. I don't want the Leffe though.

vote: El Barto and Yay!

Vote:classical_hero

for daring to post above me.

He probably tried to post the update when the forum was down earlier.

Take your time, knees are fragile things.

Vote: Ishmael

Maybe it was reverse psychology?

This is the entirety of Ferret's posts for this game, from start to finish. Look at them. It won't take you long.

What do you notice? He pops in each day with a quick vote with zero rationalization behind it. If you're lucky, he'll pop in a second time with a quick one-liner joke, just to make sure he's perceived as still active.
If he's Town, he's doing a piss poor job of scum hunting.
But if he's scum, he's doing an excellent job of staying under the radar. Until now.

Vote: Ferret

[LazyMcCrow]

You don't mess about do you? :D - but it's not day yet, so no need to add the vote to your attack yet :)

[johnhughthom]

If he's Town, he's doing a piss poor job of scum hunting.

To be fair, that's the default townie position of a lot of players.

[EnderBoy]

Wait what? I'm so confused. This is dawn right? That's where we vote isn't it? I saw another vote above for jht.

[Ferret]

Actually you missed one of my posts...

There have been two day phases, it is impossible to do any meaningful scum hunting this early in the game. Besides, as jht pointed out, no one has done any better.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm trying to think of a way to combine phases, but having the dead vote while the lynch phase is happening would allow them to give out blessings with knowledge of who might die, and that's not fair. Doing it during the murder phase won't work either, for similar reasons.

It might be possible to do this during the rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock phase, and shorten every day down to three phases- but I am worried that it will confuse players in an already unfamiliar game setup. It would radically alter the sequence of events.

This game is a mad science experiment and I'd determined to let it live or fail on its own merits.
