    This yells scum to me.

    Follow this line of thoughts:
    -Nictel is scum-
    -He's killed Winston.
    -He doesn't read through the update properly.
    -But when he sees an accusation against me, he jumps the chance to dry it off on me.

    Please, lynch Nictel asap. Either before or after getting rid of me.

    EDIT: Heck he didn't even bother looking at the busdriver switch... What the?

    Didn't you see the enormous wall of text? I'm not going to read all that.

    Only two things are important, who was killed and who could have done it. All that text just blinds us from the truth!

    Your interpretation of "clearly" is far different from mine. (Also, your vote formatting is wrong. /helpful ) I get the following from today's write-up:

    -- Mr Stinky-bubbles has a new disciple.
    -- Andres/Gasmask (who is rather more than just a guy in a funky costume) killed ATPG
    -- ATPG was bodyguard for Adastreia?
    -- someone who said he was from Lovell acted as a bus-driver to switch Adastreia and Winston, in the process protecting Adastreia from that point-toothed guy
    -- "Diamante" (Diamondeye?) is having something nasty happen to him, maybe

    Heck with it. Diamondeye probably does have to die, but in the meantime
    vote: Nictel for scummy skimming. There's nothing in there that indicates CFC.

    What does Country Fried Chicken got to do with anything?

    Though more seriously, the Diamento character seems to be fine for now (quote:" He had escaped the nightmare...but for how long?"), it could be related to CDF's "seeing the light" ability he discussed last round. It could mean there are cultists here still, possibility trying to spread the word of Cthulhu.

    There was an interesting comment from ATPG last round which suggested siding with the cultists was the only way for the town to win (but ultimately lose). The name of the game is afterall "The Creeping Darkness" and being honest, while Andres seems to be some mad-man who is a godfather who took over the town, he doesn't strike as being a "Creeping Darkness" like ACIN, CDF, etc seem to suggest with their roles.

    I would go out on a limb and say Andres isn't the true bad-guy facing the town, but infact, it is "The Creeping Darkness" which the Cthulhu Cult seem to ring bells with. Maybe in an ultimate twist, Andres could even be our saviour of sorts, as afterall, he is a doctor and he is currently doing research and he obviously picked this place. Perhaps he took over the town to try to stop the Creeping Darkness from being released? Afterall, you have to remember, this is an YLC game, not "run of the mill gotta' stomp them".

    Obviously there has to be more people here with information. You have these psychics, what is their connection? Do they see the Creeping Darkness coming? Are they able to read the intentions? Why are these opposed to Andres in a more lore-based way? Then there is Andres, Andres, what is your true and ultimate goal in all of this? Are you simply taking over the town for power, or is that just something you had to do, to stop the Creeping Darkness or even support it? What is this research you recieved from CDF and what work are you doing? As for the Cultists and the Old One, what is your true aim and goal in this?

    There are many untold answers, and possibly even more untold questions.


    For now, I will Vote: Nictel due to his susipicious post.

    I haven't read lovecraft, but all I know is, cthulhu = bad mojo, and your role name brought up a lot of cthulhu related stuff.

    but beskar is probably innocent because he is just wwwaaayyyy too off to be a power role.
    I am not way off. I want to feel important.

    But more seriously, are you allowed to talk to us, CDF? (indicates the rules)

    Google is your friend Beskar.

    Also, you guys really need to read the writeups more closely.... honestly.

    Weeeellllll....... I doubt it. I am pretty much the only person in the game who DOESN'T get a role as a ghost. Its a big let down really..... Makes me betraying you all to Andres just a bit sweeter.....




    But YLC, thanks for a awesome game I loved being Yog-Sothoth.

    IDK, I think the Diamante/Diamondeye is too obvious. Not sure I buy it.

    So the fact that Sigurd was "Sigurd Sigurdsson", ATPG was something with four names that sported A, T, P and G as capital letters and Winston Hughes was Winstos Hughes or something like that, combined with the fact that I am so sure of the name that I am voting to kill myself for the good of the town is not enough hint for you?

    I wonder who Adrasteia could be then... a role-name in their own right, or alternative name for atheotes (begins with an A and is Greek)

    No Beskar, I don't need to take over the town. I merely need to take out one person: Psychic 0.

    Since nobody of the power roles, except CDF (who, unfortunately, got lynched) wishes to cooperate with me, I'm kinda forced to use what I have.

    If the pro town power roles wish to combine their forces with me, then my pm box is open.

    Help me finding Psychic 0 and I'm happy.

    Alternatively, I could just keep killing until I have Psychic 0. I don't care either way; I am neutral and a-moral.

    I just need Psychic 0's skin for my research.

    I am considering that Adrasteia might be DBL A considering her name was shortened "Ada". But Atheotes might fit better on second thought.

    Anyway, it seems the consensus that I am not an imminent danger. Unvote: Diamondeye; Vote Nictel

    Alright, so assuming this is correct, Andres is not the biggest badguy out there and obviously not the Creeping Darkness.

    There was the thing where Andres saved Adastriea from doom from a big beast creature, who ran away from Gas Mask and they seemed hostile to eachother. This indicates that Andres faction and the Darkness faction are not allies, but infact enemies.

    Also, what faction is Psychic 0? Is he a town, or is he a purple? What is Psychic 0's goal in all of this? to simply survive? To defeat Andres? Would the town even handing Psychic 0 over to Andres actually be in our benefit?

    Though I am guessing Psychic 0 can contact and talk to the Ghost Council. The Ghost Council seems able to use abilities. A thing to note is "When good, non-mafia players die.." that means Ghosts could ultimately be on our side, though it did suggest that some ghosts "are not who they might be".

    Ultimately, the town is lacking quite a bit of vital information. Who are the Psychics and this Mysterious Psychic 0 ? Who is the Old One, is it Cthulhu? What are these creatures, who is the man in the white suit who has a face of thousand horrors?

    If any of the following could private message me and provide me with information which I can share on your behalf, I would be grateful.

    I am considering that Adrasteia might be DBL A considering her name was shortened "Ada". But Atheotes might fit better on second thought.
    Actually, Double A does seem like a good choice as well. Could either Double A or Atheotes confirm or deny this?

    I had Adastriea protected last night by switching her with Winston Hughes.

    I knew Winston was just a townie and Adastreia has an important role. Ada is capable of investigating dead bodies to determine their roles and allegiance. I discovered that not so long ago and I thought she was worthy of being protected.

    The man in the white suit seems to be our mutual enemy, dear townies. I want the name of a Psychic today or I won't keep helping you against him. If he would be the first to give me Psychic 0, then I wouldn't mind to take out a pro-town power investigator and to decide that he's my ally instead of our mutual enemy.

    Your call. But it's do ut des.

    But doesn't YLC give that information on death anyway? (Such as he revealed the purple people)

    Though if Psychic 0 did warn ATPG about the danger to Ada, it would mean that Ada could be a powerful role. Could Ada please contact me in private to tell me more about themselves? With townies dying over you and Andres knows who you are, I can't betray you. I want to know what is special about you.
