Yes it uses the term Pro-town and "upstanding citizen" (I hope I don't get in trouble for quoting those two words)

Final Vote Count:

4 - bertrand (Foolster41, Commodore Amazing, Thok, Nightfall)
Not Voting (3): stark, bloojay, bertrand

After some discussion the town quickly turn to face bertrand. "Let's lynch him" someone suggests. Three others quickly agree and he is quickly hung. A search of his cubicle reveals many books. Apparently, he was a studious intern, although it remains to be seen whether he was truly working for the MDT, or part of a conspiracy to undermine it.

After an unusually long night (sorry guys), the morning paper finally arrives at your door:
Morning Daily Times - Your Daily Source for News in the Morning

Day 4


Front Page:

When Will the Killing End?

By Yggdrasil

The serial killing continues today as
stark’s
body was found outside the offices of MDT. He was stabbed to death. Unfotunately, police have been unable to find a murder weapon or identify any suspects.

Stark was an intern with the MDT. Despite his exemplary work, he had not yet received enough training to step in for any of the murdered employees.

Local:

Employee of the Day - stark

By Nom DePlume

Once again, our employee of the day award goes to
stark
. Despite not having any special skills to make any contributions to the MDT, he has always been exemplary at being an intern. The death of this two-time Employee of the Day is a tragedy.

Obituaries:

bertrand

by Dr. Grim

bertrand
died yesterday from a fatal lynching. He is survived by his father, russell. bertrand had an interest in journalism early in his life and afer high school, began an internship at a local newspaper. His ambition helped him quickly make his way to becoming an editor of the paper. However, that was not enough for bertrand. For he was a member of the Daily Morning Times, the #2 selling newspaper in San Angeles. Not one to be second, he joined a conspiracy to eliminate the DMT’s competition: the #1 selling Morning Daily Times. The police have confirmed that bertrand was indeed involved in the murders, but do not have any further leads at this time.

Weather:

By Sonny Raincloud

Expect warm temperatures with lots of sun. Highs in the upper 80s.
It is now DAY 4. With 5 alive, it will take
3
votes to lynch.

I think it's pretty safe to say now that my role works. since bertrand was scum, I think my plan of killing all who were not remaining in the eployrr of the day article is a good one. Though I have to admit I'm confused by the lack of a contraction today as well.

Today's article says "serial killing" Maybe the SK can't edit the paper?
vote: nightfall
Only bloojay and nightfall have not been cleared by the employee of the day article. And I tend to beleive Bloojay's claim over Nightfalls

I don't think we have any evidence of a SK.

I'm leaning towards going with Foolster here. What do ya got, Nightfall?

Foolster, this is lynch or loose what are you doing?
CA, I dont have anything, sorry. It comes down to what you guys are thinking today.

But before people quickly pick me off, let me just point out that
1. Foolster votes in a lynch or loose because he
tends
to believe bloojays claim over mine.
2. I dont know if these means much for my case, but bloojay seemed to have gained credibility because there weren't any edits in the paper one day? aparantly there weren't any yesterday either. I thought this was a one time thing acording to him?
3. Foolster, ever think that
maybe
just maybe, my name was to actualy apear in your article today, but it was edited by scum to provoke you to do just this?

Just to add since I didn't see it before, Foolster, you point out in the same post that you vote me that your confused about there not being a contraction and yet you still vote? why is that?

EDIT:
Sorry guys, just realized it wasn't lynch or loose. I thought I'd come back to make sure its clear I realized that. The thought carried over a little from another game that Im playing.

However if we do have a SK still as foolster mentiond I may not have been that far off with my comment.

You do have a point nightfall. Perhaps bloojay is lying. I'd like to maybe hear more from him before we proceed.
unvote
Though I do think Nightfall is at least slightly more likely to be scum than bloojay, since an editor is exactly a role I'd expect to show up in this game. A paper quallity guy just doesn't ring true with me.

I don't know what other kind of information can come out that can convince me.
You probibly should have chosen to not use your abillity, nightfall (if you could. I can't remember if you said it was a choice). Then you could prove you're not lying.

I say we lynch nightfall and then if we don't win, we kill Bloojay. Worst case senerio is we're down to 3T-1S and we kill him tommarrow.

I'm not particularly happy Nightfall's most recent posts. He already had a sketchy role claim coming into today, and now he starts posting as if he knows how many scum are left.

I'm happy to
vote nightfall
for the moment.
I replaced into Chess Mafia for 6 months, and all I got was a win and this lousy sig.

THe heck with it. I'm tired of slow games. There's nothing the mafia can do. we've won. Even if bloojay is somehow our scum we can always lynch him tomarrow.

We have no evidence for a serial killer in this game.

I'll

Final Vote Count:

3 - Nightfall (Thok, Foolster41,Commodore Amazing)

Not voting (2): Nightfall, bloojay

In another fairly quick decision, the town decides to lynch nightfall. Afterstringing him up and disposing of the body, you check his cubicle to look for any clues as to his true identity. In his cubicle you find various printing supplies, indicating that he was some type of writer. However, you cannot find any information to say whether or not he was a legitimate member of the MDT staff. For that information, you'll have to wait for a more thorough investigation of the matter.

Nightfall (Writer/???) lynched day 4


It is now NIGHT 5. Please send night choices by

You wake up and surprisingly aren't alarmed by the front page of the newspaper. Sometimes no news is good news:
Morning Daily Times - Your Daily Source for News in the Morning

Day 5


Front Page:

A Break in the Killing

By Yggdrasil

After four consecutive days of murders, the staff of the MDT have finally been spared of tragedy. To the surprise of everyone, all four remaining members of the MDT staff showed up at work this morning alive and well. While some believe the murderers may have been deterred by the successfull lynches of late, the police caution that other conspirators may still remain and the staff should remain cautious.

Local:

Employee of the Day - Commodore Amazing

By Nom DePlume

Once again,
Commodore Amazing
, a reporter for the MDT receives the honor of being the Employee of the Day. His interviewing skills have been especially useful during this crisis since he has been interviewing staff members at night in order to gather information to help the MDT. For his dedication in protecting the MDT’s future, we award Commodore Amazing the Employee of the Day award.

Obituaries:

Nightfall

by Dr. Grim

Nightfall
died yesterday from mob violence. He is survived by his sister, Dayrise. Nightfall was an aspiring journalist who graduated from the prestigious journalism department of the Southern University of California. However, his initial aspirations were foiled when his job application was rejected by the Morning Daily Times because of rumors that he had falsified many of the stories he wrote in his college newspaper. Police have confirmed that Nightfall was indeed involved in the murders, but do not have any further leads at this time.

Weather:

By Sonny Raincloud

A heatwave hits San Angeles today, with temperatures in the high 90s.
It is now DAY 5. With 4 alive, it will take
3
votes to lynch.

We already have all of the claims right?

CA=Investigative reporter
Thok=Investigative reporter
Foolster=Nom De Plume
Bloojay=editor

Should we also out our night choices CA?

I think bloojay is the last scum, his absence from scum would explain the no kill last night.
