Again a day with lots of discussion and no progress towards a Pope. However, the accusations progress all the better and in the end Cardinal Up finds himself the target of an investigation. All his private belongings aren't private anymore but are searched and analyzed. And again, what the other Cardinals find shocks them. No Reformer shenanigans or even any heretic literature. But the secret plans that Up recorded on his phone (because he was too lazy to write) are shocking. It turns out, the only reason he wanted to become Pope is for the chance to slack off and do nothing without anyone being able to critizise him. Actually, checking his record of how he did his job reveals, that he never did anything. Always someone else wrote his articles and he paid for it out of the fortune of his parents. All in all, Cardinal Up is the very embodiment of Sloth and the only plan he has for his Popedom is, to relieve the Pope of all tasks and duties. He just wants to have a good, relaxed time. It is completely out of the question to make him Pope, since a Pope has to travel the world, bless people and show presence. Off with him to the sidelines, where he can relax to his heart's content!


Final Vote Counts:

ELECTION:
trent was in the lead at 4 votes, which is half the number of votes currently required to become Pope.


INVESTIGATION:
mchack 1 - joppo 333
Trent 1 - yogs 369
Yogs 4 - Trent 373, mchack 379, buck 382, catv 388, pooka 418
Cat 1 - Flocke 336

Everyone was voting
Yogs is investigated and was a regular Catholic Cardinal - and is from now on not Electable and may not vote or elect anymore. But may - and is expected to - continue to participate in the game.


All Elections are reset to self-electing
All Votes are reset to zero,

Uh huh.

We are at 4/3. Short of the whole scumteam falling into a coma and getting modkilled, nothing is gonna prevent a flawless reformer win. Since my opinions didn’t change, I put my vote back where it was.

Investigate Catventurer

Except that at LYLO you have to work with everyone else.

And if you're wrong with this vote, the three scum pile on and the game ends.

I would unvote and have everyone talk things over first.

Why didnt you like, tell us or something.

This is a joke by the way. My apologies for taking your nonchalance as scummy.



So what are we thinking here. I dont mean to sound like a broken record, but do we want to take a serious look at Cat? and at this point trent by association?

Granted flock jumping right on Cat does not give me the warm and fuzzies of that being the right direction.

DAY THREE FINAL VOTECOUNT
mchack 1 - joppo 333
Trent 1 - yogs 369
Yogs 4 - Trent 373, mchack 379, buck 382, catv 388, pooka 418
Cat 1 - Flocke 336

DAY THREE POPE ELECTION VOTES
Trent North 4 - mchack 269, cat 306, bucktooth 316 and self
mchack East 1 - Flocke 336




Cat, mchack, and bucktooth voted for all three townie yeets.

All three voted to elect trent as pope.

All three, I think, are targeting Flocke next.

So between those three and trent, the most likely situation is that somebody is a deluded Townie and the other three are mafia.

I believe joppo, flocke, and pooka are all Town.

The worst thing about this summary is that in the end it will make me a delusional townie.

I do agree that if Trent and or Cat is a reformer the other is a package deal.

I've been sick for almost the entire duration of the game and mostly left to try to figure things out on my own while being accused of not participating enough and offending people. If I get to L-1, I'm going to be very tempted to self-vote.
