There is no way in hell EP makes these two posts if you’re the second mason

I’m voting icon
Everyone claim who they’re shooting out of icon/Gandalf with their no strand vote to make sure we’re splitting well
Honestly I’m not sure we need to because icon is basically conf!scum but just to be safe

You can check out the pt after the game yourself. It's all right there.
Our strategy was to both be alive D2. Hard distancing so scum didn't catch on, and pocketing a player each to misdirect scum.
i'm just happy i got here in time before you lost this game to opportunistic scum
a win is a win to me
Lol okay, as if we were ever ending day before you posted

Then according to your logic this shouldn’t have been an issue as town!you could have just shot gandalf for the win
Keep conf!scumming yourself, this is fun

The sirens blared Night 2 descended.
They were the toughest gang in all the Purge. They knew that the only way any of them died was caused from within - they were betrayed by their own, and there was probably still one left.
Menalque climbed up on a pile of the dead and shouted, "It's Icon! Kill him in the face! Terminate his existence with a literally humungous level of prejudice!"
Icon tried to run, but they chased him down.
Icon was caught...but he had one last, desperate move to make. He reached into his coat pocket, pulled out his wallet, flashed it open and waved it. "It's not me. I'm a card-carrying mason. It's Gandalf! Kill the traitor!" He shoved the wallet back in his coat before anyone could get a good look. ROugh hands reached out and grabbed Gandalf, holding him in place.
Egduf, Hectic and Tet turned their guns on Gandalf and fired. "That should do it." But, Menalque went and searched the dying body. Gandalf had a genuine mason card on him. Menalque held it up for all to see. Egduf, Hectic and Tet realized they had killed the wrong man. "Meh, what the fuck. It's Purge night anyway," they said, shrugging their shoulders.
Oversoul nodded his head and said, "Yeah, what the fuck. It's Purge night," and bashed in Tet's brains for no apparent reason.
Iconeum's bluff had bought a little time, but it wasn't enough. TiphaineDeath raised his gun. "Wait. He's mine," Menalque said. "Just wound him." TD shot Icon in the knee, taking him to the ground beside Gandalf. Gandalf had almost bled out, but with his last breath he said, "You ain't no fucking Mason," and shot Iconeum in the nuts - the traditional punishment for fakeclaiming mason.
Menalque stood above Icon, gloating. "I've been waiting for this a long time, you scumfuck." He aimed at Icon's face and fired...but not before Icon got off a shot as well. Menalque fell, dying beside Icon and Gandalf, and for some reason Tet.
The sirens sounded again. Purge night was over.
Iconeum - Mafia Strongman
;
Gandalf - Town Mason; Menalque - Town Citizen; and Tet - Town Citizen
;
were purged Night 2.
TiphaineDeath, Egduf, Hectic, and Oversoul - all own Citizens
- survived and won The Purge 2, along with the rest of the town!
The New Founding Fathers thank you for participating in The Purge, and hope you can make it to The Purge 3!

I mentioned that outside communication was reported. Here's what happened.
Menalque contacted me, saying he had received a game-related PM from Gandalf. I immediately closed the thread to determine what happened. It took some back and forth, but eventually I determined that:
Gandalf is new on the site and not familiar with the forum design. He hit the "PM" button on post 1084 by Menalque. That created a PM to Menalque, quoting Menalque's own post. Gandalf then got confused and sent it. So, Menalque received the following PM from Gandalf:
To me this appeared to be an honest mistake that caused no damage to the game. However, when town makes a mistake I think it's only fair to consult with the mafia. So, I sent the above information to the scum team and asked if they were OK with resuming game as normal with no action taken. They quickly agreed to this.
Special thanks to the scum team for graciously accepting this as a mistake and letting game proceed.
Note that at that point, only Iconeum was left and the town win strategy applied. BUT, that strategy depended on the existence of at least one mason to sit out - otherwise everyone dies and scum win. So, scum could have lobbied for Gandalf (the mason) as the offender to be modkilled. They were aware of this, but didn't push it. You'll see in the mafia thread that Iconeum specifically said he didn't want to try to use this issue to get a cheap win.
I don't follow the Scummies, but if there's one for ethical play, these guys should be nominated for it.

Other Notes
- My apologies to the scum team, as it turned out that with 1 scum and at least 1 mason left, the setup is broken. I believe we have fixes in the dead thread, but other sugestions are welcome, as I'd like to run this game again in thee future.
- There was other sloppy play aside from the PM issue. Everyone should review the site rules. Newcomers to the site especially, but it wouldn't hurt if the veterans did a refresher as well. https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6470
And of course always read the specific rules for the game you're in.
