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.

When Will the Killing End?
By Yggdrasil
The serial killing continues today asstark’sbody 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.

Employee of the Day - stark
By Nom DePlume
Once again, our employee of the day award goes tostark. 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
bertranddied 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.

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 NightfallsWinner of the "if real life was like mafia" thread. :D

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
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

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.
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.
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.

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

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

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.

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
Nightfalldied 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.

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.
