Well, it could mean you are able to inform town of your role as a jelly-person. As nmillar was rather insistent that he was vanilla town, even post-lynch during twilight. And nobody else has come forward as a jelly-person openly other than you.

A few of the townspeople are getting overzealous. Perhaps driven by madness, perhaps by anger or ignorance, they set upon Benjamin Tellier, the very man who picked out their last -- seemingly correct -- target. He seems awfully calm during the proceedings, patiently telling the crowd of people that they wouldn't kill him, couldn't even.

A wild-eyed Canadian who had been lurking in the town off and on for a few years now, Leon Faucheux, pulls out a revolver and points it at Benjamin's head.

"And just what is stopping me from pulling this trigger right now? What could keep me from killing you at this very moment?! Nothing! You'd better have a better reason for us to spare you than that, old man!"

The older gentleman rises from his seat, not at all afraid of the weapon pointed at his face. His expression is terrible to behold, clearly not at all the man calmly explaining that this was a waste of time mere moments ago.

"What's stopping you? This is MY town! Are you all out of your minds? I am the mayor, and you will stop this idiocy immediately! That is an ORDER!"

There's a tense silence in the room. The genial, mild-mannered mayor looks like an angry deity, and his voice reverberates through the town hall, echoing endlessly. Leon is frozen for a few moments, then slowly puts his gun away. He turns to leave, moving swiftly in the stunned silence while the Mayor is getting his composure back and the crowd is still frozen in shock.

As the rest of the small group of vigilantes filters out of the town hall, they can't for the life of them figure out what was driving them down such a crazy pathway to madness. They had just tried to kill their own mayor. How do you make sense of that?

There was no lynch. It is now night time. You have 72 hours to get your night actions to me.

This game has already been delayed to hell and back, a little more won't kill you. I have sent out exactly one night action so far, and an endless array of distractions has kept me from doing more than keeping track of the rest. PMs will be sent out in the next 6-10 hours (i.e., when I wake up) and I'll open the new day immediately afterwards.

Apologies for the delays, computer trouble and sleeping forever combined to make this take longer than it should have.

The town awakens to yet another day of horror. As they filter out into the streets, the first screams rip through the air. Luke Testa, the town reporter, is found skinned alive in the fountain of the town square. His spine was severed, he was laying face down in the shallow water. He'd drowned, though not before polluting the fountain with his now-coagulating blood. On the edge of the fountain is his skin, folded up neatly.

Nor is this the last shock for the town today. Not long after the town square has been cleaned up and Luke taken to the city morgue, a mile downriver the body of Jamie Heath is found, also drowned. Nearby is a wrecked canoe, a small hole is found bored into it. Some among the town start to talk about moving on, away from this cursed place. Most just talk. Most, but not all. A small caravan of U-Hauls pulls away from the city of Oaken Den before noon.

It is now Day 4. ViolatorX and QuadrAlien are dead. With 10 alive it takes 6 to lynch.

Alright, I don't have any information that confirms what I'm going to speculate, but here it goes.

I'm going to guess that Violator was Luke Testa, and the fact that he's a reporter explains how he got his information, maybe simply having the access to look up something on each person? I don't know

That leaves Quad as Jamie, and the hole in his boat leads me to believe that something human killed him.

Three Roads to Hell - Cult, Mafia, Serial Killer. I have no proof to justify this, but that would explain the lack of a day 1 death, how Luke was killed, and how Jamie died. Maybe a rotating cycle of how they take turns with night actions?

I don't know who the mafia might be (or can even guess how big it is), the cult might be the outsiders, and the Serial Killer is the wild card.

Well, I'm curious about some of the things that have happened, so to start us out.

Vote Andy

First of all is the obligatory "I told you so"!

Second, we are losing humans at an alarming rate.
Interesting how none of the claimed or suspected jellymen are dying in the night.
Third, it is worth noting that Violator was NOT one of those pushing to test my claim or voting for me, but he DID point out that all the jellymen DID vote for me.

Now, in post 839, Baz says he's technically not town.
Then in 854 he claims Town vanilla.
On the basis that I believe the Jellymen are scum & that he's been caught in a lie, Vote Bazilisek

Hmm... I can't help but think you're confusing the alignment 'town' with his admission not being 'of this town' (in the sense of being an alien). In the first post you mention, where he says he's not technically town he goes on to say that he's still town aligned.

Now this doesn't make him necessarily innocent (far from it), but I don't think your reasoning is very sound.
It does seem possible that the jellymen/aliens are masons and have some hidden agenda while still being town.

If I discount those I am certain are town & the Jellymen, we're fast running out of suspects.
Show me someone else suspicious.

No you misunderstand, I'm not saying the jellymen aren't suspicious. I was just saying that Baz didn't contradict himself.

He's still suspicious as hell, as is Vitek.

Ok, this is interesting to note: Luke Testa (ViolatorX presumably) has a severed spine. Pazzer was lynched by having his spine severed by Christopher Spack. Of course it could just be that GhostQlyph has a penchant for spine severing.

I'm pretty sure Jamie Heath must be QuadrAlien, as the Day 3 dawn said QuadrAlien's character was female and Luke is only ever a masculine name.

Oh, and before I forget again: I'm off on holiday for the next 10 days or so. I'll be without regular internet access (or power actually), but bringing my laptop and I'm going to try and get one of those mobile internet dongles. See you all on the 24th (but hopefully sooner).

When I signed up for this game on the 14th of June, it honestly didn't occur to me that it'd still be going 2 months later. =/

Now there's a good spot; who's Christopher Spack; Robbeasy?

Yeah, that's what he claimed when we were wondering what was going on on day 1.

In that case, vote Robbeasy, purely for the severed spine link.

We appear to have a Canadian among us. Clearly this is a bad sign.

Rodzaju, honestly, if I didn't think giving a governor-type role to mafia would be an extremely bastardly thing to do, I'd throw an OMGUS at you for this without any hesitation.

I have two roles. I'm Geverid, the jellyman Emboldener, who happens to inhabit the mortal form of a vanilla townie by the name of Zachary Miller, whom I know literally nothing about except for the name. So yes, I am a town vanilla, yet I am not, because I'm also a bloody alien. So I think saying that "I'm technically not town" is a fairly accurate description.
