Joe's a dick?

I'm not really sure. Most of the discussion was based around my ridiculous role, so it's hard to get a read on people.

No reads at all? D;

Apart from Baz being town I guess...

See, the problem is I can understand people not believing my vanilla claim, because it was a lie and I can see people not believing my real claim because it is ridiculous.

Baz did come up as "good" when I investigated him, so there's that.

What was the exact wording? Obviously I don't want you to break the rules, but Good/Bad, Town/Not Town, just wondering what this wording might have been.

Exact word was "Good", complete with capitalisation.

(( Evidence that the setup has been verified by a previous mod is on the admin board here Let's leave well enough alone. I'm sorry I ever flippantly suggested the possibility that the mod was messing with us. ))

After Orry was put to L-1 by Rod immediately after the 1st claim, Bard immediately changed his vote to baz... Vitek also unvoted after the claim and asked for flavour, which ultimately snowballed into the lynch. I'm not sure if this is significant at the moment, but it might be worth bearing in mind later on.

A note about the name thing:
Baz was actually the first to point out the name problem way back in #309, where he noted that the name of the dead Queen was never revealed. I pointed out the name oddity again about 100 posts later, but it was in a moment of doubt in #405. Primal picked it out and mused on it more openly, leading to Vitek, Rod, Rabbit, Orry and baz volunteering information on names, which effectively sealed Orry's fate. Again, I have no idea how this might fit into the scheme of things, but I think it could be worth mentioning.

I'd like to point out though, that my vote at that time was not on Orryyrro at all, it was on someone else, THEN I switched it to Baz, meaning I never pulled Orryyrro away from L-1. The way that's presented makes it sound like I had voted for Orryyrro, when in fact I hadn't, I was going to check something before trying to make a vote, and Pazzer instead hammered him today.

My recommendation is to start Day 4 in 2 days, not make it 4 days before the actual play starts again like this seems to suggest. Otherwise, and speaking only for myself (although I wouldn't be surprised if others feel like this), you'll probably have to find replacements if we're left to stew.

There was a pleasant town, with a pleasant horizon,
beautiful gardens, arborial seas.
The people, unknowing, who lived alongside
were watched all their lives by benevolent trees.
When danger appeared the people afeared,
thinking only they were the ill-at-ease.
So when evil attacked the leafed and firred,
they died alone -their cries unheard.

Returning to the judgement grounds the next morning the townsfolk were dismayed by the scene before them. The great spreading apple tree who stood in the palace garden - whose fruit had been sweet and sharp, refreshing and warming, and given gladly to any who would have it - stood still, but its branches were scorched and twisted. The leaves had fallen all about, carpeting the dead roots, grey and ashen, the fruit had rotted on the branch. The magnificent tree had died, and with it was taken a sense of safety that they had not acknowledged feeling - the spirit of the tree had been trying to protect them, and had been killed.

There was too much to be done though. The King would be buried alongside those who had died already. There was no time for revenge today, there must be ceremony and respect.
So ring the bells, and sing the dirges,
and suppress your homicidal urges.

TwilightBard has been killed. He was the Enchanted Apple Tree (TOWN DOCTOR.)

And we'll move straight into night three. Night actions to me as soon as you can, I'll try and start day four tonight, or as soon as possible.

Once a young boy, sharp as a pin,
with ruddy round cheeks and a mischievous grin,
sought to uncover an evil plot -
now his grin is still there, though his cheeks are not.

On the fourth day emotion seemed spent. The townspeople discovered the mangled corpse of the young Bazilisek without surprise, and like clockwork machines they wrapped the body and layed it out under the archway.
The only thing that every person there felt was a dreadful anticipation. Evil must recompense.

Bazilisek has been murdered. He was the Wily Stableboy (TOWN TRACKER)

It is now Day IV

Sorry to keep you waiting!

Oh for f...

Do the mafia have a magic role cop or are they just cheating?

Dreadful anticipation is about right... -_-;

Largely irrelevant now, I suppose, but what is a "Gossip"?
