Hi, friends. It's turns out that I'm not quite inactive.

I was in that fabled land beyond cellphone reception for the last 72 hours or so, hence my lack of participation. I had anticipated that a full-duration night would leave me 'missing' for a relatively negligible ~20 hours, so I didn't bother to alert Tevish of my absence.

I have since kind of read through the thread, so I will say that Darkstar insisting I'm scum without really addressing the fact that I hammered Rag is pretty questionable. Especially given the whole "If Rag is town, sky is scum" thing. That's a pretty pointless distinction to make if you think I'm still scum anyway.

Note that, contrary to whomever's account above, I was never per se in actual danger – with CL banished to the land beyond time, the maximum number of votes on me was 3. I had plenty of time to hammer Rag to protect myself if it came down to that.

I also agree that there is very clearly a lie somewhere in the Darkstar-Exlight entanglement, and we all know which faction has stronger motivations to lie. Jay has correctly observed that Darkstar is the more threatening possible scum; I would add to this that scum-Exlight ought not to want to 50/50 if he's the last Void (barring some unforeseen ability).

Also, I'm Hope. I taste like vanilla.

I am not insisting that you are scum (anymore).

Well that just makes me want to lynch skystone some more. But I'm going to stick to hedging bets for now.

We probably don't want an endgame of Dark/Ex/Skystone in any event.

Not that we'd let one of them make it that far in any reality.

Unless it was an extremely messed up one.

Can we just hammer Ex and finish the game finally?! This is getting annoying.

Vote: Dark

My unofficial vote count is as follows:

Dark: JD, KoD, Naga
Ex: Dark

So it doesn't look like we're quite there yet to finish the game.

You don't intend to muster a defense of yourself? That seems unwise.

No one here is interested in a defense.

But it's obvious that my doctor claim is genuine.

Yes, the six town players all want to lose. Excellent insight.

Vote: Darkstar

apparently

This is very funny in hindsight

Vote Count

Ex (1): Dark
Dark (4): JD, KoD, Naga, Sky.

This represents a majority.

A decision was reached quickly, and the one with the use-name of Dark was cast into Nowhere, gone for the time being but their words sure to be remembered.

Dark has been Banished to Nowhere

It Is Now Night

Night ends 9/4/21 at 12am Pacific, or when all roles are in.

It seems that no good deed goes unpunished: KoD (Honest) has been Banished to Nowhere, indicating that the darkness yet remains in the manse. Sure enough, One Void-Aligned Aspect Remains.

It Is Now Day

Deadline is 9/6/21 at 1am

KoD flipped as expected, and Dark was indeed the doctor.

Vote: Ex

Skystone is last void confirmed.

That doesn't solve our dilemma though. Dark protected me, and Ex said that they blocked Dark. Ex lying seems pretty simple about that, or something else is going on.

You still haven't said what your role is too.

I am War.

Also Ex is going to revisit his claim today. Add details he didn't mention earlier. It should clear everything up.

*sigh* now I'm going to have to reread the thread because I don't trust you anymore, especially since this is the second time you deflected from answering my question. I know you're War, but I don't know what War does. And why would you know Ex is going to "revisit" his claim?

None of this makes any sense.

why was dark hammered when we still had time to discuss dhfkkgnrbtnn

I blocked Naga so that confirms they're Town
