"My vagina says that Rucks needs to die. ~EL James" ~Oscar Wilde

"You didn't get the hint Poe? Neither did I, but I was high." ~Oscar Wilde

"I will believe anything I read in the Spinning Paper." ~Oscar Wilde

OOC: EL James, only Spinning Paper gets to drop scum reads with no explanation and expect to be taken seriously. I realize that your post restriction requires you to write in cheesy pornographic prose, but could you drop some serious OOC for a little bit? I still have no idea what is bothering you about Rucks.

What are the reasons that Shaft might not have gotten fruit? There's no reason that Hogan should have been roleblocked. We all knew he was a fruit vendor. Possibilities:

1) Hogan is scum and didn't send any fruit last night (assuming that he can either kill OR send fruit).
2) Shaft is lying to make us paranoid about Hogan.
3) Shaft is a Nexus and somebody else got fruit.
4) There's another roleblocker who targetted a Nexus and got redirected to Hogan.

I've been on a roll of lynching scum only :-p I'll trust what I read in the papers, though I was waiting to see if anyone else would claim bus drive or claim to have received the fruit. If Hogan was blocked he would know - as Wilde was told he was blocked if I remember correctly. If anyone touched me (ooc: though mod said I wouldn't know about being bus driven...odd) I would know. Hogan didn't touch me. And apparently scum can only choose one action, so if a bus driver is present, Rosa Parks said we going UP FRONT!

"Hookers and blow is what Oscar Wilde does!" ~OscarWilde

OOC: I have an informative role, so I have to be told something. Since Hogan just does the fruit he just sends it and hopes it arrives. He wouldn't be told if he was roleblocked.

I read this and get a bit frustrated. I hand to the man my ISO, as the gentlemen who keeps staring at me calls it, to OscarWilde but not without giving him a little wink of my own. "I've said a lot about it already. Perhaps you'd like a peek?" I state before sitting down with a seductive smile. As Mr. Danielewski gives me more pains about what I've done and haven't done, I roll my eyes over more. I can't seem to please the man and I don't feel like trying much more. Our time together wasn't very fulfilling at any rate.

I can now confirm no bus drive affected me. Danielewski, are you disbelieving God is scum purely due to role? If I were to guess 3 scum for each gang, a 1-time neighborizer ain't bad to net some kind of fellowship with a random player. Meanwhile, the strongman, jackass of all trades or whoever can perform the first few kills based on their kit.
Lovecraft, would roleblockers still be able to action if they were ONLY affected by a killing blow?

Not too wise for Wilde to confirm his targets, as we can only guess that's how Marion was found out

ooc: Scum are likely 3-3. Balance + Hulk Hogan failing to fruit someone right after we nab Snicket (note that we already have 2 dead roleblockers too; seems pretty straightforward to me!). If Oscar Wilde is faking any results, he's going to get caught.

If it's 3-3 and scum can't use a power role and kill, by the way, I have confirmation that Hulk Hogan is not orange, as I received a kumquat Night 4, after Empking and DGB were dead.

Hello.

VOTE: Hulk Hogan or something.

I still don't like Wilde but he doesn't seem to be the play today.

Also, I will likely claim tomorrow.

I fully believe what we are looking at is a 4:4:16 setup, and it seems that we are looking at two scumteams, yet what happened to all the nightkills?

N1: 2 kills
N2: 1 kill
N3: no kills
N4: 1 kill
N5: 2 kills

I also know UT-mod usually goes with the "one action per night" rule, so let's assume so.

Okay, what the hell? I need to outright claim because there is some FUNKY SHIT going on around here. Yes, I know, I'm not in character, bite me.

I'm an
inventor
. I had three items to give out:
N1: I gave God a bottle of iodine, which gives him a 1-shot poison.
N2: Nothing.
N3: I gave ??? a bulletproof vest, which I got
mod confirmation
would stop a kill on the same night that it was given out. Not claiming who it was quite yet. If the vest has been used up, then my target can claim it.
N4: I gave Danielewski a megaphone which acts as a doublevote.

Now, here is my issue: Danielewski only shows up as ONE VOTE in the votecounts for both D5 and D6. Meaning either we had a mod error, or the item doesn't work like I thought and he has to activate it. Similarly, I see no "poison" flavor, and my understanding of poison is that the person poisoned dies at the end of the following day, and we have not yet had an extra death upon lynch. This makes me quite nervous.

@God:
Have you used your poison yet? Did you receive the poison?
@Danielewski:
Explain how the doublevote works. Also, did you receive the doublevote?

You're looking at the VCs wrong. The numbers are how many votes someone had, and I didn't vote on D5. In fact, it can be shown that I did get the doublevote here:
Mark Z Danielewski wrote:As it is, I have no interest in rushing the Day, but there are several things I dislike about Snicket's claim, and would be voting there if he wasn't at L-2 already.
The item lasted for a Day, and never saw use since I didn't vote that Day. The mod made it clear it was only for D5.

As for your Vial of Death, don't be overly nervous.

If it's 4-4 why would Hogan have sent the kill when mafia knows that we're watching for fruit? For that matter, why would Hogan claim to send it to somebody who is still alive if he killed somebody? That's paving the way for a 1v1 with a good chance that he'd lose.
