My power changed last night. I am no longer immune to vote manipulation. Given the flavor at day start, I doubt I'm the only one.

Well, first things first.

I feel all the candles for heat again, searching for anomalies.

Well, balls to this.

On the plus side, last night was fruitful. I received information regarding today's Storm, but before I say anything more, I'd like the responsible party (who knows who he is) to explain for those assembled what we're looking at. If you don't, I will gladly expose your evasion, and you can reap the benefits of an irrevocable snuff vote. 'Kay? :3

Also, would you like to share the flavor behind your loss of vote-manipulation immunity, Ford? I'm terribly curious.

Unsurprisingly, I did nothing and received no messages in the night. Given that my God is Telmorin and he is the mightiest of the gods, could we possibly Light notquitethere's Green candle today? Also, should we keep snuffing Ottofar? What do people think? Further, I'm eager to hear what you have to reveal Solifuge, so I hope whomever it is doesn't wait too long to get back to you.

How about we snuff Ottofar again and light my green so I can block his buddy Ford?

Wait.  If we're theorizing Ottofar is scum, then how can we explain two candle changes in the night?  He was busy being unconscious.

No, actually, it just went on to detail my new ability. I had to PM Meph back to ask if I lost my old ability, since my PM was unclear about that.

It was a very flavor-light PM. Except for changing the first word from "you" to "I", I gave you the flavor portion completely verbatim.

What'dya mean BAH? Yer still in the game!

Ottofar is with you, Vector is not.
So either its flavor wording or...Uh. I'll just do this :S

*Tiruin moves over towards Vector's disk, looks her in the eye before moving a hand over her white candle, feeling for the sense of heat. The law of thermodynamics echoes in her mind...

Also...I've received word from ye Divine about how things work. Note ahead, I'm asking Meph how it works...

Ayup. Mine changed.



Also...I really think the HP is going into some medical trouble--here's me thinking he may be brought to the healer's area soon because...blood from eyes :/

How about we snuff Ottofar again and light my green so I can block his buddy Ford?

Wait.  If we're theorizing Ottofar is scum, then how can we explain two candle changes in the night?  He was busy being unconscious.
This is what I'm thinking. Meph never directly said that Vector is out of the area though...I guess.

could we possibly Light notquitethere's Green candle today?
Why? Also, unsurprisingly? Whats so unsurprising about your statement in the post there?

Why only Ford?

Anyway, detailing mine (other than claim its full use...) I awokened in the middle of the night. I felt that my power is different...and that's it :/

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he's probably not going anywhere until this whole thing is over. The whole "being suspended in midair by the power of the gods" kind of prevents him from being moved, as Solifuge's experiment proved much earlier on.

*Tiruin moves over towards Vector's disk, looks her in the eye before moving a hand over her white candle, feeling for the sense of heat. The law of thermodynamics echoes in her mind...
Vector isn't actually here.

How about we snuff Ottofar again and light my green so I can block his buddy Ford?

Why didn't you raise that point yesterday? It was equally valid then.

Perhaps the scum's ability to affect candles is independent of their numbers. Two changes with one action would be the equivalent of a lynch in this game, making it equal to a standard mafiakill in any other game.

That or Ottofar is a third party. Either someone was screwing with Vector's results, Vector was lying scum (and her white being snuffed was part of a gambit performed at the wrong time), scum outed one of their own (by accident, I would assume), or they screwed with Ottofar and were as surprised as anyone else by Vector's results.

...Right. Kissing the High Priest solves the idea of him being immobile...Poor guy, having to stay here while we go back to sleep...

...Wait, I'll just reveal my power now, as I guess holding anything back is just detrimental at this point.

Block me or whatever, but I'm bringing Vector back....well, y'know, results are tomorrow. Day-action go.

Before everyone gets focused on how two candle changes prove anything with Otto gone, I'd like to point out that there were two candle changes with Otto gone yesterday.  The thing that's interesting here is that scum did not hide a candle.  They've shown three actions (two candle changes and a hide) on every night that all scum have been active, and two actions (either one candle change and a hide, or two candle changes with no hide) on the nights that Otto or Captain Ford have been out of commission.

My power changed last night.  I no longer have the inspection (Tiruin came up Town last night, by the way), but I now have the ability, with careful vote distribution, to allow us to break the balance.
If you want your own Teal lit, vote to light it, and it will be done at day end.  The rest of us need to Light Toaster's Green, and Snuff Ottofar White.

I also received the warning of great pressure, and a storm.  I believe that message was sent to all with a Teal candle lit.
