The overseer with the music box ground away at the gears on his device. Most people had a primal dislike of the tool. That was the intention, really. The specific notes, when played in that order, had the ability to disable special abilities. He continued turning the crank as he walked, using the box as an extra form of protection in the darkening streets. Suddenly the handcrank jerked to a stop. Blasted thing was jammed! As he pulled the handle out to get to work he heard the murmurs and footsteps getting closer to him. He turned around and brandished the brass handle he held in his hand. "Get back, all of you! I command it!" With his music gone, the angry mob decided to make a new song using his screams.
The city is falling apart. You wouldn't know it from the way the rich folk carry on, though. Whether they are just unaffected or are simply trying to keep a brave face remains to be seen. The party was in full swing tonight but the hostess was nowhere to be found. People helped themselves to the extravagant buffet and the various alcoholic beverages offered by the passing waitresses. From the second floor came the sound of two hard thuds and then a scream as a body flew over the handrail and down towards the first floor. The piano broke her fall as well as her neck. Good riddance, though the butler. Lucky she landed where she did, too. Blood was ever so tedious to get out of a rug.
On the other side of town things were much different. There were no parties. There was no music or lavish assortment of food or drink. People were forced to eat the very animals that they so feared. One unlucky individual was heating a skinned rat over a hastily made fire in a trash can. The man was wrapped in a shabby cloak full of holes and covered in dirt and... other substances that smelled even less pleasant. Life was good, though. Another night of food meant another day of life! He let loose a hacking cough into his fist and looked down. More blood. If only he could afford some elixir things would get better. He heard a stone skitter off of the roof of a nearby building. "Hm? What was that?" he said as he looked around for the source of the sound. There were a few quiet footsteps from somewhere that sounded like a body was trying to force itself to come to a stop. There was a silent -click- as the crossbow bolt was loosed from the corner of the rooftop. The man in the streets was hit right next to his heart. As he fell he let out a great moan. People came from nearby buildings and streets to see what the noise was. 'Are you ok?' said another person before breaking down into a coughing fit. "I... I... I want you to-" he said before coughing a thick spray of blood over the face of the man checking on him. The crossbow bolt may not have been perfectly accurate, but it did the job just the same. Another member of the crowd came close. 'E's got blood comin' from 'is eyes, he do! E's a weeper!' The crowd became agitated very quickly. 'E coughed blood on this one! E's gonna become a weeper too! Let's get 'im!' The mob, fearing the plague more than anything else, descended upon the unfortunate man. After he too was dead, both bodies were burned to prevent them from passing on the plague to anyone else.
THE DEAD
Stever777 - Overseer w/ Music Box-Killed
Enlightenedbum - Lady Boyle-Killed

Oh man, great results tonight. Okay, now we just need to move this momentum forward.
So it looks like TheEnder is trying to lead the charge against jdark. I'm thinking, if we kill TheEnder tonight the village may oust jdark and then we ride that to victory. We do have other options though. It looks like our roleblock on jdark actually went through, so can someone clarify mechanics for me - if a villager is guard, will a roleblock go through? If not, then I think we may have a chance to ice jdark and move ride that wave to victory too. At that point our primary concern will be the SK, who I have like zero leads on.

My guess is that one of the following happened yesterday to our roleblock.
1. bum busdrove jdark, so if we placed a roleblock on him, it ended up on someone else.
2. Xemus was roleblocked.
I'm hoping that with both bum and stever gone, that means our kills will arrive where we want them and that we can keep jdark from killing anyone.
The moment another guard pops up in the dead list, is probably the night we'll want to remove jdark. I'm pretty sure the village has another guard floating around, so I'd rather just keep the roleblock going for now.
I'm wondering if we should remove grimmy tonight. He was overly defensive, which makes me think he is either village special or the murderous old maid. With only three of us left, we need to control all the kills and I want the SK gone; especially, if said role has multiple kills per night or some nights (not sure if we're getting double taps, SK is hitting guards or if the double kill isn't every night). Either way, I'm pretty sure the village isn't going to vote out grimmy unless someone claims that he is an SK.
We just need a second target. We can rule out jdark and Gandalf claimed vote manip, so he probably isn't worth killing tonight. If we have to take a shot in the dark, I guess Sir Fab strikes my fancy.
Killing mi-go and OL is tempting but that might get people to really pay attention to Xemus. They've pushed really hard for his death, at this point, I'm hoping that will go against them and get at least one of them voted out.
I think one of the things going for us, is that at this point the village will have zero incentive to work with the SK. We know that the role has more than one kill. It's possible the SK may or may not be immune to certain kills and I'm willing to bet jdark is entertaining this idea as well. So it's going to be safer to just remove the SK instead of making the person the village's bitch. Not to mention, two kills landing on villagers could speed things quickly to a mafia victory.

I'm not super concerned about mi-go or Kaplar. I'd like to see either one hang themselves. So I'm going to suggest The Ender, if only because his chattiness is suspect.

Well I'm pretty sure the village is going to string ender up if they don't get directed to kill someone else.
I wish I was more familiar with the lore because I would have a better time ascertaining what roles we have removed. I'm thinking there is a chance that Rysk was either a guard or some sort of seer.

You know what, jdark's kill went through fine. It was mine that got pinched. That means two things 1) a either my kill was busdriver or 2) I was roleblocked. If its the later then the village is on to me, but since no one is up in arm's to murder me, I'm fairly certain that Stever777 was the roleblock. In the lore the music box drains mana, disorients magic users nearby, and can damage them if close enough. He wasn't on good terms with jdark, so its possible he didn't inform them he of his role and that he was targetting me. There may still be a network call on me later tonight, but for now let's just move forward with assuming the village is unawares.

Okay, this actually suggests that I wasn't roleblocked, rather my attack was busdriven. We may be okay then. We're still a kill short so that means a vig somewhere got roleblocked.

Wasn't jdark claiming the tallboy kills? Cause I don't see one for last night. He may be an alternate night vig, though.

While TheEnder brings up a good point about REG Rysk being a Tallboy and being already dead, the question he doesn't seem to know/want to ask is why didn't REG Rysk call bullshit on jdark on day 2 for claiming his kill?

I've choosen TheEnder for our mafia kill and SirFabulous for my vig. SirFabulous has been strangely quiet through this whole game, so I suspect that he is a special trying to lay low. Killing TheEnder hopefully will sow some dissent among the village.

Ohh. That is a bold move, Xemus. It looks like it might play out, though. Fingers crossed.

If jdark gets taken out by the vote, as it appears he will right now, and turns out to be a villager then the village is going to turn on TheEnder hardcore. In this case, I think we should take a little pressure off Xemus and have Mi-go Hunter removed. So right now we've got Mi-go Hunter and SirFabulous up to get assassinated tonight.

TheEnder is claiming Vote Manipulator? Let's see how this plays out. He might just be enough to push his own wagon to a jdark victory, then we kill him tomorrow to remove any more shennanigans he could cause with that.

Yeah, if jdark dies tonight, I'm ok with letting ender live to eat the vote tomorrow. I was thinking we'd need to cleaning up the remaining vote manips tomorrow anyways. Also if jdark dies tonight, we'll need Xemus to do something else.
Can Xemus use any of the powers from deceased mafia or is he stuck as roleblock now?
