Day 5
An old man with a staff pleaded his case;
he had done so much good! That shan't be erased.
Alas all his pleas seemed to fall on deaf ears,
This was one less all the rest had to fear.

Jackofhearts2005 has been lynched! He was St. Nicholas (Mafia).

Night 5 begins now. For obvious reasons, we're taking a little break. I plan to pick back up Tuesday. Merry Christmas, everybody!

Night 5

A figure crept sneakily through the cold air,
He smiled to himself; the walls were quite bare.
He slunk to the kitchen and passed by the sink,
Then opened the fridge and grabbed a cold drink.
Elsewhere the train whistled; man in red right beside,
Unknown to him he’d taken his last ride.
Again three white horses knocked him to the ground,
Sadly this time he would be staying down.

JaggedJimmyJay is dead! He was Santa Claus (Town).

Day 6 begins now. You have 36 hours.

Vote Darkstone
Who did you target last night?

Myself and Quebbs.

was thinking he might be an anti-town neutral.

Have I mentioned how much I dislike the "you didn't really target me!" defense that Darkstone keeps using?

What made you decide he was worth targeting? What is the strategic benefit? Why did you not target the vulnerable cop who just got killed?

Killing Joke, why aren't you shooting? Who would you kill if you had to take one of us out?

Afrcngy, who did you double?

I mean, I was certain that KJ was going to kill me last night so I did a switch-a-roo with a neutral that may-or-may not be town friendly.

Admittedly, targeting the cop probably woulda been a better idea.

Both Darkstone and KJ have somewhat verified roleclaims, but neither has done much to impact the game in a meaningful way with their abilities. I believe the only kill KJ has claimed as his own was DestructoBoy (correct me if I'm wrong). I forget all the details of that night.

Darkstone's claim is even more dubious, and we've only rarely seen evidence of his claimed actions resolving over the night, and his supposed targets have been questionable more often than not.

This write-up does validate Darkstone's claim to have targeted Quebbster along with himself. That sneakily creeping figure would appear to be Quebbster, and I target Darkstone hoping that we'd get some clues about his alignment if he was dragged into the write-up. The problem is that this does nothing to confirm his alignment and I still think his choice of targets is suspicious. His excuse effectively is that he forgot it's important to protect the cop.

But I agree with Darkstone in that I expecting Killing Joke to target him last night. So, KJ, why did you not do that? I've effectively already asked you this, but this question is more specific.

Darkstone, who do you think is the last mafia?

I believe part of being an effective vigilante is knowing when NOT to kill. I can't imagine we have more than one mafia left and I didn't want to risk two townie deaths in one evening.

You've been not killing all game long. I agree that a vigilante needs to be careful, but you've either exhibited some very extreme caution, or you're lying.
What are all of your reads on all the remaining players?

I'm a rather skittish vig... I was also concerned that DS would bus drive me into someone else. We won't have that issue during the day phase. I'm also slightly concerned at the fact that we haven't heard from Afrcngy at all yesterday and so far today.
