NJW - oops, I misread the count. For Imp considerations, most of it is the same as Tric's? They have fewer games here, and are a little weird compared to how they normally play, but they've fairly comprehensively explained why they're off right now.

...gonna say, BTW, Crystal was a choice for the part of a.n.other. Finger Of Suspicion in that direction, but still a very wobbly one.

So it goes something like this. The circling crows bicker and snarl, fairly jovial in comparison to some other dark days.

Eventually, they come to a conclusion - the one crow who hasn't bothered to screech is silent, and the silent are well known to be liars, traitors, and scum.

Off with their head.

No such option is available, so the angry flock settle for the next best thing - the pecking sharpness of their bitter beaks.

"Stay still, and it'll be quick", is the promise, sometimes explicit, sometimes implicit. But it is very hard to stay still when you face the end of your life.

Some scream. Some shout. Some try to fight, in futile rage. Others cry.

Starver does none of these.

The sight of all you screeching crows has sent them into a heart attack!

How merciful, if unintentionally.

6 to hammer.

Starver has been executed.

...

The crows peck and flock around their belongings, and discover the harsh, painful truth.

Starver was Town.

The spell is broken. The crows remember they are people. They are not a murder, but they have committed one.

Starver was a Frail Detective.

Quote
Frail Detective (Town)
The burden of knowledge is bone-breaking.
(Auto) Frail: Your body is weak and vulnerable. You cannot be protected from kills.
(Night) Investigate [target]: You piece together clues from your target's surroundings. You learn whether your target attempted to use a kill action this Night.



This tragedy is over, and the people disperse into the night, to catch some rest in their tents, or conduct further plots.

Atone.

Night 1 has started. Night 1 will end 24 hours from now, at 6:30 PM Central time, Monday, December 23rd.

Night 1 may end sooner if all actions are received swiftly.

If you do not wish to act, or cannot act, please send in No Action. It'll help with my bookkeeping.

As a special note, since it looks like Day 2 will cover the 24th and end on the 25th, several rather notable days, I'll be quite happy to extend Day 2 if it's called for.

You all reconvene in the morning, perhaps well-rested, perhaps tired. Who can say?

Well.

Not all of you reconvene.

NJW2000 is found resting against a tree, eyes closed, a bullet in his chest, eyes closed.

There are no weapons among his belongings, nor signs of secret conspiracy. The evidence is clear.

NJW2000 was Town. NJW2000 was a Jack Of All Trades.

Quote
Jack Of All Trades (Town)
Master of chaos, disciple of life.
(1-Shot, Night) Protect [target]: You protect your target using amateur first aid. Your target is protected from up to one kill action.
(1-Shot, Night) Redirect [target1][target2]: You disorient your target using a hallucinogenic. All single-target actions they attempt to use this Night are redirected to your second target.
(1-Shot, Night) Mimic [target1][target2]: You study your target, and copy the effect of a non-lethal single-target action they used tonight onto your second target. (You receive the results of the copy, if any.)

Nothing happened to me last night, and I didn't do anything. My ability is shotted, and I didn't want to waste it with no good targets.

In any case, my reads list for today puts, Max, Hyper, and... Well no one else but most lists come in threes. Those are my townreads. My scumreads are anyone else who was on the Starver bandwagon. As Max started it, and Crystal hammered it, that leaves Imp and Vermillion. The dangers of not having a night action to report rear their head.

Nothing to report.

After I essentially said to Hyper not to worry about this exact scenario, we did go on to see a cop and a doctor killed. All the more reason to play a good day game.

Yesterday there was a sudden movement at EOD onto to Starver, saving VermillionSkies and Imp. Not saying it has to be one of them, but there's a good place to start...

...start when I'm awake. I'm going to bed so will have more to say and do tomorrow.

Wasn't me, but I'm glad you were stopped because that would have been 2 dead town.

I followed NJW.  He was spraying mist and I was told he seemed to be redirecting someone.  I did not kill him and I wasn't told anything else.

I acquired Starver's inspect as a one-shot as my ability.  Not as good as Starver's actual ability, but it was something.

I was able to ascertain that VermilionSkies did NOT perform a kill action last turn.  I can't verify much else, but VermilionSkies wasn't the killer of NJW.

@Fallacy:...yeah, I might be too drunk or not care enough on Christmas, so I'll officially request to extend to December 26.
I'm sure that I'll get distracted and do something else on December 26th, and I probably will be heavily active on Christmas, but at least I'll feel better if the game is extended.

Sure thing.

Day 2 will end at 4:30 PM, Central time, Thursday the 26th, or upon a hammer.

I hammered it? wasn't hammer at 6?
Anyways, Vermillionskies voted Starver after NQT and Euchrejack pushed pressure on them. The vote was also right after Imp's vote. I only voted Starver after realizing that Starver could possibly tie the votes and Imp also voted right Euchrejack put pressure on Vermillion.

Jack, that's called a Universal Backup. Which would mean you're a modified universal backup. Given the abilities shown so far, I'm inclined to disbelieve you entirely. A 1-shot version doesn't make any sense given my ability is a kill.

... Revealing yourself as a backup detective is another thing entirely, since that brings to mind that a backup doctor also exists in this game. Who would have to claim to lend credence to your theory.

Being honest kinda expected Imp to jump in at this point themselves. They've been on, no response here.

Hah..
