    ... As tempting as that sounds, I'm pushing that plan to the back burner. I wanna win a Phalla because I contributed, damn it!
    Heh, tempting.

    Night of Day 1

    Amid the mass confusion of the trial announcements, the village is overwhelmed. Accusations of demon worship, sexual deviancy, and animal sacrifice are leveled at many people. However, the overwhelming voice indicates Edward Bridges (INeedNoSalt), the local blacksmith, has been cavorting after dark. Due to the overwhelming testimony, the Magistrate is forced to find him guilty of witchcraft, sorcery, and blaphemy against The Lord, Our Father.

    Edward Bridges is tied to a chair and held under Ell pond until he drowns. He is found innocent posthumaneously, as witchcraft did not save him. His death is his badge of innocence. The Magistrate offers his condolences to his widow.

    That night, the body of Mary Frye (Dunadan019) is found on outside of her barn. She has been dismembered and marked with pentagrams and moon sigils.

    It's said that Samuel Backstreet, who lives on the next farm, was seen fleeing from the scene of her grizzly murder. The whispers even speak of blood on his hands and an evil gleam in his eye.

    THE DEAD

    Edward Bridges, Blacksmith (INeedNoSalt) Found innocent of witchcraft after trial by drowning
    Mary Frye, Farmwife (Dunadan019) Killed by the coven

    The next day of trials may now begin

    On the bright side, Egos is Samuel Bradstreet, due to him asking for Anne earlier.

    So, !Egos

    Wouldn't you be Samuel Bradstreet, Cap?

    You called the kill on Duna and the narration said the Coven got to him/her before you.

    A) I'm an easy target because I named myself.

    B) There are witches involved. AKA magic

    C)The OP has everyone's name, so its easy to find who someone is. So easy Shusnik would have to be a crappy host if it was as simple as pick a name match to player.

    and Hippie I'm Samuel.

    I'm pretty sure the host isn't going to flat out tell us the names of the mafia. I'm also pretty sure there are abilities that let you influence the narration.

    And there is only one Anne. Anne Bradstreet.
    Which makes her husband is Samuel Bradstreet.

    Just a thought, the coven kill might be them manipulating someone into being a killer.

    I don't know how much we can trust the narration not to be full of hijinks.

    Later that night, the blacksmith returns. He is carried on the wings of angels, proof that the LORD and SAVIOUR have accepted him into heaven. He wears golden jewelry and flowing white robes.

    He speaks to the congregation...

    Well, I see what yall are saying, and it's a serious possibility that the narration is screwed up.

    Of course, it could be accurate. So, I dunno. Who do yall think we should vote for?

    Hopefully Cap can call a kill tonight that won't be intercepted by mafia, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Egos is damned by the narration, and while it could be narrative manipulation, or as someone suggested the coven controls someone to do there kill for them, the lake is one way to find out for sure. Then again, narration naming a killer is fairly common, it is perhaps everyone who was so loose with their identify attempting to find their spouse who was in error.

    I think he's saying that the names were supposed to be more secret. And his point makes sense, but it's a bit too late for people to start worrying about the safety of your name. About half the village is outed, and chances are that the other half is known to their significant other (aside from the three widows/children/spinsters).

    Considering its an alternate win condition and a number of players followed suit.. I would say he was foolish if he didn't think of it.

    Not to mention there is no chance of a cover name if someone did a rolecall....

    Yah, most everyone being paired off with a spouse, but not told their player name, told me that your character name was really important and should be protected. When a large number of people started shouting for their spouse, by name no less, I was leery because they were throwing away their identity. If you didn't presume this Egos, and are a Mafia who gets caught day 2 because of a narraton reveal, thats rough luck, but I think its the best lead we have right now. Nothing personal if you got caught by the game not working the way you assumed it would, I think we've all been there at least once.

    I didn't presume anything, I pursued an avenue given to me within the confines of the rules. Im arguing for you to have a brain and think that there wouldnt be 25 names in the OP that can be linked to 25 players (and that its so easy you can just read the narration). No room for alternate names to be given to a village lead should they call for it. And you think the narration is reliable.

    It was my understanding the role calls were considered poor form, so I don't believe the host needs to accomodate something that is generally agreed upon as undesireable. I have no problem believing that all 25 names are revealed in the op, and that there are only 25 names out there. Most phallas place a high premium upon obsfucating ones own identity. If you feel otherwise, than we can agree to disagree, but by my reasoning and interpretation of the rules, you are the best lead we have right now. Cheers.

    There would be no reason for me to call for my wife if I was bad.. but think what you like.

    There is only mention of one person being responsible for Dunadan in the narration and capfalcon called a kill. If he thinks I'd be so stupid as to present who I am while being a baddie. I'm stupid enough to think he may have thought he would have appeared as a villager during his little possession.

    That's the silliest bunch of silly that ever sillied.

    We have tol give cap another night to prove himself. Unless you're theorizing that we either don't have a vig or have an inactive one (since there wasn't a vig kill last night). it seems just as reasonable that he did in fact correctly call his kill and just managed to hit the same target as the mafia did.
