"You won't get away with this!" she shouted. "Somebody help me!"

"Darling, there's no one here to help you. You can stop shouting. Actually, don't. I rather kind of like it."

She struggled to free herself as her captor shoved her inside what appeared to be some old egyptian sarcophagus.

It'd be really rather pretty, she thought to herself, under any other circumstances.

The sarcophagus was on a platform above a small pool of water.

Once she was inside, she had the lid shut on her.

She was trapped.

The platform started to lower and soon the sarcophagus was fully submerged under water.

That is where she remained until she died.




Canuck was strapped into a electric chair.

He had no idea where he was, but the chair was connected to a slot machine.

"Ah, you're awake," a voice said. It seemed to be coming from the machine.

"Where am I?" Canuck asked. "Who are you?"

"Well," the voice started. "I'm the person responsible for you being here, and as for where here is, it's the Lucky Lemon Casino."

The voiced laughed.

"Actually, you're in the back of a truck," it continued. "And that sweet chair you're strapped into will deliver to you 50,000 volts of deadly electricity if 3 lemons appear on that slot machine. However, if 3 Liberty Bells appear, you will win your freedom. So, how lucky do you feel?"

The slot machine seemed to turn itself on, and the reels starting spinning.

The first slot landed on a lemon.

Horrors!! One Lemon!!

The second slot landed on a lemon.

Double Horrors!! Two Lemons!!

And if it’s a third…instant and inescapable 50,000 volts!!

Time seemed to slow as the third slot landed on another lemon.



50,000 volts passed through Canuck's body and he was instantly fried.

"Thanks for playing. We hope you enjoy your stay," the voice said.






Canuck has died.

Schrauben has died.

It is now Day 8. With 4 alive, it takes 3 votes to lynch. Plurality is still in effect.
Day will end 24 hours from now or when someone's been lynched before then.

Oh my god Schrauben you suck! Super scummy...

Last mafia HAS to be one of either Timmah or Curtis. Though now I'm wondering about im317 too...I don't blame him for shooting Schrauben, but at the same time I thought he might have refrained from killing, to avoid putting us in this exact situation. Another mislynch and it could be game over.

Wikey, sell me on why Curtis is mafia instead of you or Timmah.

Ok, so if im317 is an SK, and we can assume there is at least one Mafia remaining (probably the GF) then town is screwed. Even if we lynch right today, the lucky survivor kills tomorrow night and its game over.

So let's not dwell on that. If im317 is the SK, there is nothing we can do about it, and it's only a theory anyway. Plus if im317 is the vig, he is the only shot we have at winning (or at least drawing) if we mislynch today.

What we can say for certain is that one of me, Timmah or Curtis are scum.

Given I can rule myself out, its between Timmah and Curtis. Though I wouldn't like to say which one...

Wikey, sell me on why Curtis is mafia instead of you or Timmah.

Don't you mean sell you on why Curtis or Timmah are mafia instead of me?

Wikey @ 9/11/2015 13:34

im317 @ 9/11/2015 13:30 Wikey, sell me on why Curtis is mafia instead of you or Timmah. Don't you mean sell you on why Curtis or Timmah are mafia instead of me?

yeah. i started to just put Curtis but then i decided that i cant afford to dismiss Timmah outright.

Hi at work I'll be on soon

DUMB move lynching Herm!

Those ties fucked us so hard

I am leaving soon, and will be gone for a few hours.

Here are my thoughts before I go:

The key days to look at imo are the following:

- Day 4: Ari Lynch.

The final train:

Ari (8/9) - Timmah, Curtis, im317, Wikey, Nobert, JC, Schrauben, Canuck, Buffy

Timmah initially said he wanted to hear from im317 to confirm that he had killed Chris before lynching Ari, but in the end he placed the first vote on him before im317 showed. Curtis put the second lynch on Ari for 'pressure'.

You could make a case that either of them were taking the opportunity to easily create a bit of distance between themselves and scum Ari. It should be noted that Curtis unlynched after Ari's fake claim though, whilst Timmah called bullshit immediately.

- Day 5 tied vote.

The final trains:

Jayadamo (2/6) - Herm, Schrauben, Jayadamo, Wikey, Canuck
Curtis (2/6) - Herm, Dylan

Two now confirmed townies lynching Curtis. Two townies lynching confirmed townie Jay, accidentally tying the vote. All three who unlynched Jay are also all confirmed town. It appears there was no effort to save Curtis this day if he is indeed scum. It's hard to read much into that. If he is scum, they might well have decided it wasn't worth the risk trying to save him, or he warned them off.

Timmah wasn't anyhere near this lynch, though I believe he had voiced suspicions of Curtis a few times.

- Day 6 Redster lynch:

Redster (6/6) - Wikey, Timmah, im317, Schrauben, Herm, Curtis

This is probably the most interesting lynch of all. For starters, Timmah was the second to join Redster's train, no hesitance. Given there were several other targets been bandied about and Redster wasn't exactly the clear choice, this makes Timmah look town.

Curtis hammered Redster at a point when the lynch was essentially irreversible. Curtis has claimed to have been unavailable for these periods of the day, which is why his votes tend to come later.

- Yesterday's Herm lynch

Curtis was a staunch defender of Herm, which makes him look good. Timmah did not buy his claim, which is understandable, but given what Herm flipped you can't help but question his motivations. Mafia would want the town BP dead asap. But in fairness to Timmah he has been calling out Herm almost the entire game.

----------------------------------------------

I'm undecided on the two...

As for myself, well for starters I started the lynch on Redster, and was calling him out before that day. I have also tried to steer us away from several bad lynches and generally been a voice of reason (I hope). I also was the first to bring up the mass claim idea yesterday. Timmah and Curtis followed with their claims only after mine.

Since the last scum member is probably going to pull out all the stops to avoid getting lynched, i'll defend myself against any accusations they make in advance, since I may not be around to do so myself. I protested JC's choice of target when he decided to shoot Henry. I have already spoken about this, but once again, I just wanted JC to use the gun wisely, and was pleasantly surprised that he chose correctly. Henry seemed like a random choice, given how its almost impossible to get a read on him.

I also tied the vote accidentally on Day 5, inadvertently preventing Curtis' lynch. This was an honest mistake which we as a whole have already made once already.

Well guys, I gotta go. We need to wait for everybody to have their say before we make a decision. There's no advantage in rushing this day.

Curtis @ 9/11/2015 12:44

Hi at work I'll be on soon DUMB move lynching Herm!

I agree, we definitely should've lynched you

Day 4: Ari Lynch.

The final train:

Ari (8/9) - Timmah, Curtis, im317, Wikey, Nobert, JC, Schrauben, Canuck, Buffy

Timmah initially said he wanted to hear from im317 to confirm that he had killed Chris before lynching Ari, but in the end he placed the first vote on him before im317 showed. Curtis put the second lynch on Ari for 'pressure'.

You could make a case that either of them were taking the opportunity to easily create a bit of distance between themselves and scum Ari. It should be noted that Curtis unlynched after Ari's fake claim though, whilst Timmah called bullshit immediately.


Are you serious??!?!!? go back and actually read the day. I spent the entire day screaming from the top of my lungs that we needed to lynch Ari because he was blocked. I did the exact same thing the day before with rose.

im leaning heavily towards Curtis right now. it will be interesting to see what he has to say.

my predictions:

curtis is mafia
wikey is some sort of third party

Here is the way I see this:

Timmah - could be 3rd party (I am not), but very very little chance of mafia - pushed hard for Ari's lynch and had no qualms at all lynching Redster after posting a big writeup of the votes to date for each player.

Wikey - couild be 3rd party (perhaps?), but very little chance of mafia - was more or less the swing vote that finally got the Ari lynch rolling and was the first vote on Redster;

im317 - could be 3rd party (would be interesting if he's really SK), but very little chance of being mafia - was first 3 on both mafia lynches - 2nd on Ari and the first person to come to my way of thinking on why he should go, after 6 hours of bs that day, and 3rd on Redster

Curtis - is likely mafia - voted Ari early "for pressure", but had no issue unlynching later and never got back on (if you're looking for a "distancing" lynch vote, this one is it), and last person to lynch Redster after it was a foregone conclusion - the excuse for each was "I wasn't on!", which I proved to be false yesterday.

The good news is that there are not 2 mafia members left or they'd have won. The bad news is that if im317 is a serial killer, then the town has already lost either way.
