[Rabbitman]

Yeah that fits thematically and with the idea that he was a joat.

[Destiny]

Interesting admission from bak42 that he was the one that killed Rev, it's changed my opinion on a few people.

[Rabbitman]

<p>If there's still another resurrector, is bhk a priority now that hes likely a joat and used his investigating thing?</p><p> </p><p>

Basically dead cop = bad, dead joat = maybe wait to save the actual cop.</p>

[moon_lit_tears]

<p>Hmmm...the more I think about it, the Bard May have been a joat. </p><p> </p><p>

5e literally has a Bard skill called Jack of all trades. In most RPGs they are support types.</p>

[Rabbitman]

All theoretical but if leion was not an issue, do people suspect someone enough and with enough solid reasoning that we could convince people to vote for them, before the day ends?

Even Thog is part of the Guild. Are they more important to the story than others? Does it make a difference? I'm assuming the "Guild" can't talk outside the thread seeing as Thog killed the bard, so I'm leaning towards it not meaning much.</p><p> </p><p> I wonder how meta all this is and if the "scum" team is the dungeon master and he just has a supply of demons and monsters to throw at us.

[Destiny]

It's good to see ongoing discussion. This is the sort of activity which will drive the town forward whilst we wait for Leion. Unfortunately I don't know much about this sort of genre but am doing my best to keep up with the theories.

[Rabbitman]

<p>Michgcs I can relate because I was convinced deadceleb was 'hiding in the shadows and posting fluff' scum and yet he turned out to be a power townie. If he hadn't died last night and we didn't see leion as cult, Id be all over DC today. So that's my big lead gone.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

1. Destiny-Post leader, making things happen.</p><p>

3. Leion-Very likely cultist but at least should post and try something.</p><p>

4. Zergon-Really having a good game, analysing things and trying hard.</p><p>

5. Michgcs-Not a reason to dount this ressurection yet.</p><p>

6. Eternal Phoenix-Drunk or a theif. Good enough for now.</p><p>

7. Tha Black Phenom</p><p>

8. Emark</p><p>

10. bak42-Trust the claim for now. </p><p>

11. hellshock70</p><p>

13. Eliphas</p><p>

14. Too Sweet Spartan</p><p>

15. moon_lit_tears </p><p>

17. Rabbitman-achoo</p><p> </p><p>

Going to read back and fill in the gaps.</p>

[michgcs]

<p>Let's give this a try...</p><p>

1. Destiny-post leader, making things happen. but TBH don't know why everyone's assuming he's town LOL</p><p>

3. Leion-ooh child, things aren't gonna get easier</p><p>

4. Zergon-really having a good game, but again he's a big ol' question mark</p><p>

5. Michgcs-true blue</p><p>

6. Eternal Phoenix-drunk or thief or drunk thief</p><p>

7. Tha Black Phenom - oh look, another question mark</p><p>

8. Emark - ah... question mark. </p><p>

10. bak42- who is this bak42 you speak of? I know only of Thog, Son of Kronk, First of His Name, Killer of Bards and Wielder of Axes</p><p>

11. hellshock70 - question mark</p><p>

13. Eliphas - question mark</p><p>

14. Too Sweet Spartan - more like Too SCUMMY Spartan</p><p>

15. moon_lit_tears - helps that she's got background with D&D but also a question mark. NOT a thief or looking for a thief or a dragon.</p><p>

17. Rabbitman-bless you</p>

[michgcs]

(Did I just type that whole thing up to make another Thog joke? Why yes, yes I did. Goes to show just how bored I am at work right now.)

[Destiny]

After all the bus drivers in recent games as of late do you think there could also be a bus driver in a game of this size?

[michgcs]

<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Destiny" data-cite="Destiny" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46764" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>After all the bus drivers in recent games as of late do you think there could also be a bus driver in a game of this size?</div></blockquote><p> I'd say maybe a one-shot if ever, but not a dedicated one (I hope).</p>

[Destiny]

Yep, that's what I was thinking. It's possible if there are many limited JOATs in the game as was suggested earlier.

[Rabbitman]

<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46764" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>7. Tha Black Phenom-Not too many posts but seems okay.<p> 8. Emark-Fluffy. I've seen fluffier but still needs to do more.</p><p> 11. hellshock70-Seems to be into the game and trying. That counts for something.</p><p> 13. Eliphas-Not been the most intuitive but not been hiding either.</p><p> 14. Too Sweet Spartan-Like with Emark, with slightly less fluff.</p><p> 15. moon_lit_tears-Kinda like hellshock.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I'd look into emark or Spartan and then Eliphas. Someone has to be scum after all. <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

[Destiny]

They don't seem like too bad options. Rabbitman did you receive a PM after the night phase that you didn't expect to receive?

[michgcs]

<p>With (unofficially?) three votes on Leion, I'm thinking of holding off until he checks in. </p><p> </p><p>

Right now, I trust Thog the most, TBH.</p>

[Destiny]

Leion is usually around more than this but to be honest even if he doesn't show up I think we should lynch him anyway or we'll be waiting for him again the next phase.
