Okami No Rei: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.
I figured that they just stopped hiding candles because there was no longer any point to doing so.
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.
That sounds almost too good to be true, but I can't see a way this could backfire.
Light Captain Ford TealI also received the warning of great pressure, and a storm. I believe that message was sent to all with a Teal candle lit.
Would that imply that the storm hasn't hit yet? What does that mean?
...feck.
Look, there's problems with me being scum. There's the way I claimed being blocked:
Day 2PPE: Just thought to check my PMs, and I was told that I slept exceptionally deeply last night, enough that an acolyte had to throw water on my face to wake me up. I didn't take any actions (I don't have any to take), but it certainly sounds like a roleblock.
Also, I completely forgot about this until I looked over my PMs again, but back at the beginning of the day I claimed flavor that might indicate I was blocked.
Day 3It just occurred to me that I did not get a PM this morning. This leads me to conclude that I was indeed blocked N1 (or something similar that could cause me to sleep more deeply than normal).
The biggest problem with assuming that all scum abilities are tied to green candles is that it assumes that Otto has the candle hide ability, but his green candle wasn't lit on any of the nights where it was used.
I'm feeling rather discouraged because I have no evidence I can present to prove my case. The numbers are the only evidence you have and there certainly are other plausible explanations for what happened.
For example, perhaps Toaster is scum and no candle was snuffed N1 because he chose to use his ability instead. Once he lost his green candle, he thereafter used his snuff ability every subsequent night. It makes total sense that he would do this to incriminate somebody, and blocks are as common among scum as among town.
Regarding your vote to light Vector's white: There are very strong indications that Vector can't come back. The last thing the high priest said was "what is done cannot be undone", and the fact that Tiruin has an ability that resurrects someone for
one day phase. Don't you think that vote will be wasted?
I don't recognize that candle scent. Has any scent appeared more than once?
Ottofar: Did your ability change? How?
Nerjin, Dariush, Onyxjew, Webadict: Now that your ability has changed, do you think it's safe to claim what it was and how you used it yet?
