The Prince cannot be found in any of the common areas.
I..err, think of where the best place the Prince could be right now and look there!

..Or check Horatio's bedroom.

Web:  Why those targets?
Jim because I felt like he was scum the first Night. I switched to Leafsnail the next Night because I was giving Jim a chance (He mentioned something about not being able to action, and I figured why not), and then he did his weird dream thing. I chose Toaster the last Night because I wasn't really sure what was happening in the game, and he seemed like a suitable target, but I'm almost positive Vector made a mistake on who I targeted, so whatever.

How exactly does your flavour reveal your role, webadict?
I guess it seemed like an obvious role for me. Someone who dances would dance with someone at Night. Is that not obvious to you?

Also I find it strange that you merely lost your powers.  Do you understand what I'm getting at?
No? Am I supposed to?

I dunno, man, with that attitude...

Today's going to be short, I see.
lol, I'm so willing to do that, but it wouldn't really be constructive. Alright, alright, you win. I'm a roleblocker. I dance the night away. Night 1, I blocked Jim, N2 Leafsnail, N3 Toaster, but the reply said TheWetSheep, so I don't really know.

Unfortunately, last Night I lost my powers, so now I can't dance.
Web:
 You withheld this information..why now?
Because it wasn't anything necessary to claim. Now seems like a good time to roleclaim.

Tiruin:
Leafsnail..ok this is darn weird. You're a double-voter who...what was your view on ZU especially since he was a protector.

Same goes for Toaster.

My gut told me he was scum.  I didn't have a logic-based target to go with instead, so gut won out.


Okay, six people left.  Logical player counts assume three scum to start.  With one down, that's two, which makes this MYLO.  In other words, mass claim time.

I am Toaster the Rose, and I've claimed my flavor.

As for my role, I can give people roses at night.  This resets a used N-shot at random (essentially, they are motivated because a pretty rose makes them more likely to get *looks at princess amendment* uh... a night of unbridled passion.  I cannot target the same player more than twice.

N1 I gave it to GriffionDay because I thought he was most likely to be town.
N2 I gave it to Web.  I had a fairly town read on him at that point.
N3 I did Web again, mostly because I was rapidly losing the thread of the game and played off the prior thought, which hadn't really changed.
Toaster: Expound on the formatted part.
Next: Town read on Web..how? There's a webadict version of Web, and an Okami No Rei version of Web.
Differentiate the two please.

It's a joke, referring to me avoiding the verb form of a certain four letter word that start with F and rhymes with duck.

Web 1.0 is dead and flipped town.  Web 2.0 is Okami-brand Web, and the one referred to in these statements.  Any detail will require a reread after the very long night, because I've been super busy lately and much of the detail from this game is gone.

So while I was dead I got to hang around dead chat. Good news, everyone, I have their claims! Except Ottofar's, but I don't think he's actually visited dead chat and I doubt he's going to be too forthcoming.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Some things of note from dead chat: TheWetSheep says he was in a chat with Leafsnail and webadict, which isn't a surprise to me since I got a chat with zombie urist midday through D3, and we theorized that Toaster and Lenglon also have a chat. Both him and webadict expressed suspicion of Leafsnail. He also says that in his flavor he was visited by two girls, one who distracted him, one who killed him, and without using weapons.

Griffionday suspects Toaster is lying because during N1 there is no mention of a rose in his flavor, and he reasons that because miscellaneous is higher than kill on the action resolution list, he should have received flavor of receiving the rose.

Also, (as best as I can tell) zombie urist was not aware of being redirected by notquitethere, i.e., in chat, he never mentioned going anywhere N1 besides to Lenglon. So there's either an unclaimed redirector out there who operates mechanically differently from NQT, NQT didn't actually redirect anybody and is either mistaken or lying, Vector screwed up, or wuba's lying.

VOTE COUNT

This isn't classical music!

Jim, where did you go last night?

I died and went to dead chat. That's literally all that happened. I just got a PM stating I was (currently) dead and given the link to dead chat.

Then I woke up as the avatar of the Goddess of Order, filled with a sense of purpose to preserve, maintain, and enforce order. Beginning with this situation, that has long since spiraled completely out of control. According to my flavor, this will only happen when the elements in this group primarily responsible for causing this chaos are eliminated.

I've got a list of topics I can dream about at night, but now I know what their effects are, and it's the standard array of JoaT one-shots. The special bonus of being a waking deity that uses dreams to accomplish the effects of these powers is that they are unblockable.

My gut told me he was scum.  I didn't have a logic-based target to go with instead, so gut won out.

Isn't it convenient that you just so happened to have a gut feeling on a potent town role.

Jim, where did you go last night?

I'll tell you all about it.

After webadict claims.
...why after webadict?
Also, now since he claimed--why did you withhold it in the first place?
Did you know what would happen if your followers get KO'd--like what just happened D3 end?
Why were you in that kitchen?

Because he was the only person whose claim I didn't have yet.

Because I wanted to see if I could catch people in lies with the additional claims from people in dead chat. Because nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition to be counterclaimed by dead people.

Nope.

Probably because I was hungry after dying/dreaming and coming back to life.

webadict, Leafsnail, TheWetSheep wants to know whether you lost your powers on his death. I'll be more general and ask what happened to you because of his death.

Whatnow? Who were they? I see plural.

Also..also..ALSO!

Toaster
Your gut should have a reason. What is your assumption back then?
..And really. No logic?
Since that time? Like, D3?!

Interesting.
I didn't visit anyone or..did anything past the last nights. However, on the distraction--did TWS expound on anything? Like, specifics in flavor?
Also I really love that formatting.
. . .I don't necessarily kill attackers, by the way. There's a synonym for that but my english is so warped around Histology that I'm fuzzy about it-PFP.

"Um, Tiruin? I... I think now would be a good time for you to drop your facade. I... I've kinda suspected that you lied to us all about what you can do, ever since you said it. I didn't want to say anything about it until now though, because if I'm right, you are actually as defenseless as the rest of us, but that you have a very important talent that we sorely need right now."
"You see, I think you're our missing inspector."
"Considering what Lady Sheep was able to do, I thought that the special ability to make sure that inspects would work was quite noteworthy. It... I didn't make sense to me, from my sense of balance, of order in society, that someone amoung us would have an ability like that and yet the only person capable of benefiting from it wouldn't be directly aligned with us. Her other skills seemed like they would benefit more than one of us, so I thought that the inspection boosting one would apply to more than one of us as well."
"Then, when you were telling us about yourself, I noticed a couple very important things. First, that what you described yourself as being capable of was a very... protective... claim, and yet it didn't have the drawbacks such a role normally has, that of hurting the innocent along with the guilty. also, when you were speaking of yourself, of your experiences, it seemed to me that you would likely have become wise to the world, and skilled at understanding both the light and the darkness in people's hearts. That matches up quite well with the skills of an inspector."
"But now, why am I saying this? I'm saying it because I believe that we are at MYLO, and that a mistake here, in this critical time, could cost us all. I think that the time has come for you to admit to us what you are really able to do, and to tell us who amoung us is truly innocent. Lady Jim has said that her new skillset includes the ability to protect someone as a 1-shot, and toaster has said that she can reset one-shots over and over again. Do not be afraid anymore, and tell us what you've learned over these last several days. please?"

Tiruin: I think you have an inspect, and lied earlier to protect yourself. It is now MYLO, claim.

Tiruin: I think you have an inspect, and lied earlier to protect yourself. It is now MYLO, claim.
1. I don't have an inspect.
2. I cannot directly claim.
3. Either Jim and/or Web has already found out my role.
4. I am not lying-I cannot lie.
5. I really did nothing these past days. Last night, I visited the White Swan's grave, and saw the Prince and Horatio..
6. ..Why do you think I've an inspect?
7. How was me describing myself being a...very protective claim? It does have such drawbacks, but it is in misinterpretation that said drawbacks appear-I can't kill, but may survive any attack on my person. Ever.
8. What drawbacks were you seeing or talking about?
9. Who I believe is truly innocent:
> Jin. Pretty weird role, but pretty awesome to say bluntly. The note that she..was 'dead'-ish for a whole night (or..just at dusk?) gives note there.

Then those I believe are innocent-ish:
> You. You inspect people by creepily stalking them. :S Lillies are scary, but you've..somehow found people doing x and y and z, so it matches up--what nudges my innocence-ity is on how specific those followings were. You did mention that I was one of your choices-what made you not follow me?
> Leafsnail. I'm hovering on this decision as the only thing that puts him in the innocent category was Vector's note. The note on a conventional rule. The rule being mafia outnumbering town-asked by TWS, if I'm not mistaken-would be called 'rolefishing'. I mean, his answers have been flippy, and his usage of a double vote..irks me really on the wrong side as well as his reasoning behind most of them.

So I'm ruling out you dudes in order of suspiciosity.

Tiruin looks at you and sighs. "This'll be a long story. I had no fear from before, nor did I have any fear-it is just..that I cannot claim. I really, really really really really cannot.

"Really."


This is what happened last night - I am unsure if anyone targeted me, but I had no indication of anyone doing such (also, it seems that you can take night actions despite you having a passive ability--visiting the grave was my bolded action :P)

So anyway, the two seemed to be in..silent repose. Not looking at each other, or anything-just staring onwards shoulder to shoulder. (I hid in the rose-bushes nearby. It was a cool evening with a nice crescent moon out.)

Cue me going all happy and being happy at the Prince and Horatio and having an inner-squee along with lotsa question questions around, that I just sat there and looked on.

It was darn beautiful. I analyzed quite..everything on them. From how their poise was, down to their breathing-it was tranquil, and peaceful. Something reminding me of how kingdoms were ruled--by a steady and wondrous hand.

But then stuff happened. As they were both dressed in black-I couldn't tell who did what-they spoke.
One of them (or it was like a one says, other replies..unsure) said to come inside, and then said to go to sleep.

So..it ends with me watching them head off, and then me paying my respects to the Swan's grave with my own song..which I really love how Vector wrote. It was silly, and has no connection to anything.

"...So that's it, I guess."

Jim: Did you examine the kitchen before this day start?

"I... I had thought you had claimed to be talented at self-defense. In fact so talented that anyone who attacked you would almost certainly be disabled themselves, leading to a summary execution. And yet, you claimed to not have the most common drawback to such a skill, the weakness of being unable to tell friend from foe. usually someone like that attacks everyone who visits them unexpectedly in the night, not just those who truely deserve it. I thought that such a claim made no sense from the perspective of someone with such skills. I mean, wouldn't you want those of foul intent to reveal themselves by attacking you? why would you warn them off? I then started working from the assumption that what you had claimed was a lie, and thought that the most likely reason you'd say that would be because you don't actually have any such protection, and yet you valued your own life highly.  By claiming that you are an expert in self-defense, you would never need to demonstrate such skills, right? So, looking back and not finding the inspector I feel we are missing, I assumed that the missing inspector was actually you."

Tiruin: I thought you had claimed Paranoid Gun Owner, a role that normally attacks everyone who visits them including doctors and cops. you then said that you didn't have that drawback. Claiming that protects yourself from being targeted for kills, making you likely to live to the final days. I thought you did that because you are our missing inspector. apparently you aren't.

And yes, talented in self-defense that I'm able to survive attacks. I am not warning anyone off. The reason I goaded before was in order to draw them to attack me.

I can survive nightkills against me, is what I'm saying.

But yeah, the abilities seem muchly..specific, huh. Because from memory, everyone else has claimed everything but inspecting.
