<em>Night had once again fallen on the peaceful community of Effingham Heights. The events of the prior night still weighed heavily on some people, but that would not stop most of them from doing what they wanted to do.</em></p><p><em>

<strong>It is Day 3. You have until 2:00pm EDT on Monday, June 3rd (7:00 pm GMT) to make nominations. Your elected officials have decided to enact a rule allowing them to decide who is lynched. Whoever has the most votes at the end of the phase will be lynched. The phase can end early in the event of a unanimous decision.</strong>

[i effin rule]

All PMs should be out. If you expected one and did not receive it, let me know.

[Zergon]

<p>Well, that´s another two townies out, shame to lose them and looks like losing Paws didn´t stop black team from making night kills (assuming here that both groups have one kill each night). </p><p> </p><p>

On plus side, seems like Cappyboy´s dead was seen by someone and potentially the mailman saw something too so interested to hear about night results. </p><p> </p><p>

Also, anyone else feeling bit uneasy about Disguised Destroyer? Doesn´t sound like a townie to me...</p>

[cappyboy]

<p>Oh well. Just as well. If you've seen the news, we had a major incident here in VA Beach yesterday afternoon. Naturally that caused me to completely forget about the game. Good news is neither I or anybody in the Cappy family work in the city government here or were near the municipal complex yesterday. I and mine are all OOC safe. </p><p> </p><p>

Now in game terms, I head off to the graveyard.</p>

[Teh_Showtime]

Definitely saw myself in a writeup

[Too Sweet Spartan]

<p>Maybe it is for the best to have this in the council's hands because I'm going to be in and out today. Regardless, I'll be trying to pop on to respond to answers. </p><p> </p><p>

And I'll be here/active tomorrow to hopefully help find a good direction for us to go towards.</p><p> </p><p>

To the people I asked questions to: Don't just answer them. Ask questions of your own to people you're curious about.</p>

Didn't see this post before my most recent one but yeah, can you ask some questions and try to do some scum hunting too? </p><p> </p><p> If we can keep a lot of conversation circling along it's easier for people to drop SUBTLE hints if they caught someone being scummy. So the more people we have getting asked questions, the better.</p>

[Tha Black Phenom]

<p>I'm at a wedding today so I won't be online much to answer but I'll answer your query in the meantime TSS. I don't a hard scum tell on any of the three but Derek and DJ do concern me nonetheless, I'd certainly FoS them over Destiny at this stage. I don't fully trust Destiny but I feel better about him solely based on how forthcoming and open he has overall been. I wouldn't discount DJ playing a sleeper scum game, and Derek can have his way whether town or scum.</p><p> </p><p>

Once I get back on, I have some more thoughts I will want to share about other players, depending on what they say once they show up this phase.</p>

[FellaLibby]

It appears I've failed to do what I wished to do last night. Which was feed the populace. Shame about the loss of more towns. I fear as though the enemy has the true advantage now.

[Crychon]

<p>Hi everybody. Fewer kills last night was good. No sign of any more animals so it seems like that was all due to Blue.</p><p> </p><p>

Anybody got any leads on anything?</p>

[Derek B]

<p>Hey, I've been trying to do something but it's taking longer than I thought it would. It's stating the obvious that it's good that there are less deaths.... I have a working theory that the deaths from Night 1 were a chain reaction of deaths that kept moving along the chain....</p><p> </p><p>

Obviously BlueStar's killer got away, but the deaths seem to move along to MLT (who targeted BlueStar), to Paws (who I believe targeted MLT), to hellshock (who i believe targeted Paws) and then to Eternal Phoenix (who i presume targeted Hellshock). I think that neatly explains what happened and it could potentially have been a lot worse if the chain had continued on and wiped out everyone with an active ability. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

I'm glad the council voted to control the lynch and give us time to play out the phase. We may have some ability based things to go off yet if the write up is anything to go by but I agree with TSS that we need to ask more questions and be more active in looking for our own leads. I feel like he's got Effingham Heights' best interests in mind so anyone giving feedback to those questions is helpful overall.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm in the midst of a bunch of days at work but I will keep trying to give direction when I can. I feel like I keep passing by this game like a ship in the night. But it's all good, and I'm going to keep trying to do what i can. Will have more time tomorrow to contribute more, but I do have to put some money in the bank or they will lay the smack down on me. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

Seeing as I am on the council and one of three people that can vote, I will throw out my three most sus players. I am wary of Rabbitman, Spartan and Showtime. I am always getting a scum read on showtime, don't like Rabbit not showing up and Spartan seems to be trying to blend in more than normal.

I'm struggling because I don't have a strong role and am still forming reads. And I'm mostly annoyed that Caleb got killed after outting himself and the next thought everyone had was that the mailman should just reveal whatever they found, just felt like scum hunting for another power role. And I'm not even convinced it was scum doing it, just town offering up our only night help. We can't have many power night roles left, we need to be protective of them not throwing them to the wolves.</p><p> </p><p> But if I'm going to say don't go my way, I should offer an alternative: D1 I said I wanted to put my trust in you and Zergon until I felt that it was a bad idea. I've been paying attention to Zergon and it made me feel that my trust was poorly placed.</p><p> </p><p> I'm getting a huge scum read on him. Maybe I'm overly paranoid because I know he is good at playing scum. But he's acting sketchy to me. I feel like he's acting overly innocent.</p><p> </p><p> I'm on my phone but he made a post right after Eargyrt got lynched and we found out there were 2 scum teams. His post came off phony to me like he already definitely knew it.</p>

[Derek B]

<p>Rabbitman's absence worries me and I was going to bring that up in this phase... I don't have any bad vibes on TSS just now, and very little readon showtime at the moment.</p><p> </p><p>

I do have a question I really liked when someone else asked it in another game.....</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>@everyone: If you HAD to kill one other player right now, who would it be?</strong></p><p> </p><p>

For me... I think it would be Destiny. I'm getting bad vibes from him. Feel like he's fishing for a lot of info, not giving up anything in return, and in general seems to be trying too hard to be town... I've read back over some of his posts and while I feel like I might be tunnelling on him, I have a bad vibe. If anyone else has any thoughts there, they would be appreciated.</p><p> </p><p>

I am heading to be very soon though.... might not be around to make it an actual dialogue.</p>
