    I am not attempting to throw support behind or throw under the bus Saber, but I can confidently say he at the very first point claimed to be an Avatar of the Merchant to me.

    Day 5
    When you purchase MMORPG currency of any kind from 'gold farmers', the same amount of money gets added to your account in the bank of Hell in the afterlife.
    So unless you are a virtous person that's sure to go to Heaven, you should buy as much virtual currency as possible, because it might allow you to buy yourself out from the punishments in Satan's kingdom.
    Note, credits from EVE online are not accepted in hell for some reason. 

    The Count had ran a good race, but the jig was up. He faced his persicuters with the knowledge that his brothers and sisters would carry on his work, and that God was waiting for him to come home.

    The Madden Curse is a phenomenon where famous players who appear on the cover of the Madden NFL video game series go on to suffer misfortunes in future games. This curse is the result of an unintentional but significant proxy ritual, where the mediocrity of thousands of casual players fuels their future failings and injuries.

    Tanith Wreaver? The stock market guy? Yeah, I heard the story. He fell down the elevator shaft, right? Doors opened and nothing was there? Man, I'm never using an elevator again.

    All weapons grade plutonium became inert on April 1, 2001. The government--ALL governments--know this, they're just scared to admit it because it would mean the breaking the relative peace that MAD gave the world for so long.

    You remember that guy, Service Request? Yeah, the guy always picking people up in the bar down on 4th? Yeah, no one's seen him since he went home with that girl in the habit. I suppose she talked some sense into him, right?

    Every new Dungeons & Dragons edition is triggered by the rise of a new Godwalker of The Geek caused by the death of the previous incumbent. 3.5 was caused by an upstart avatar challenging the then current Godwalker. We're not sure if he succeeded, but either way we know they're dead now.

    Bibliomancers are pretty much invincible in their libraries, right? I guess no one ever thought of just burning the whole place down, huh? I mean, ThriceDamned actually made it out, but ran back in to save more books. That's when the flaming timber got him.

    Enter the Dragon was Bruce Lee's last push to ascend as the avatar of the Warrior, but Jackie Chan hijacked the ritual and stole a major charge instead. If you watch the scene where Jackie gets his neck broken by Bruce (blink and you'll miss it), you can see it happen. 

    There's a city in southwestern Australia that is nestled in a never-ending series of parallel universes. Too much magick worked in one place will send people there--one minute everything's fine, but later things reveal themselves as being more and more off. The only way to get back where you belong is to kill your alternate self. Smartasses call this the "Crisis of Infinite Perths"

    Yeah, don't believe that suicide report on The Crooked Crow. It's a bunch of bullshit. “Shot himself in the face four times?” Yeah, if he had a SMG, maybe. But he was shot with a bolt action rifle. Someone's covering something up.

    The Onion isn't a satire newspaper. It's news from a dimension similar to, but in certain ways drastically different from our own. The reason why they're free is that there's no cross-dimension currency exchange, so they just snag an equal number of our periodicals. Word is they think the Boston Globe is hilarious!

    The Fool was always an odd fellow. Other bibliomancers had scoffed at the spell he was working on. He called it “Seek the Tome of Heart's Desire.” A little flowery, but he felt it was fitting for the Holy Grail of Bibliomancy. It could find the book the caster most desired, even if he didn't own it. Not only that, it showed the caster the easiest way to acquire it. That last tome was the key. It had given him the spark he'd needed to finish the spell. He could find anything from in his sanctum now. For the first time in a long time, he was content.

    Ever seen one of those video-screen poker games? You know, they're roughly the size of a poker table, with a plasma-screen backdrop depicting a dealer, male or female, in some sort of foreign locale? They say these things are motion-capture, recorded video, with a motion sensor installed. They're lying. The souls trapped inside these things come from all-time losers, who know the rules of the game, and bet their own essence on a big payoff.
    Remember, kids. The House always wins.

    Why can't I sleep? Because I'm so excited about our mafia kills.

    Though Maximus has earned a grudge vote for not reaching out at all.

    In any event, there will be a network call later on tonight. Before then, I want some help. I've narrowed down the list of SK suspects, but I'm not sure who it is. If you guts want to do some analysis and vote, we'll vig whoever is winning before the network call.

    The suspects are:

    Bedlam
    Mill
    Erich Zahn

    Your help is appreciated!

    Also I played in Xanth where I was the serial killer. The village got down to one mafia and decided it was time to turn on me. It ended up with a mafia win because he was way more powerful then everyone thought.

    What Im saying is that sniffing around for the serial killer is good, but maybe should wait till all the mafias are gone. Barking up the wrong tree this late in the game is going to cost the village dearly.

    Yo yo yo I am not mafia unless I received a second PM that I am completely unaware of...

    Once again I have a guard and an action seer please tell me what to do with my first and only charge because I am terrible at these things.

    Thanks In Advance,
    Zahn.

    He's accusing you of being a possible SK, not a member of the mafia.

    That said, nothing in the vote pattern really stands out Saber except the fact Eric posted yesterday but didn't vote, but that doesn't really mean much

    Not much out of the three of them, Bedlam in particular, but that's been his MO since he returned from Phalla vacation.

    The one thing I'll say about EZ is that he has made several spontaneous references to the serial killer.

    At one point, if memory serves, he said that it was great that The Freak (a shapeshifting character from the lore who's listed under the "rocks falls, everybody dies" section of Unknown Armies tvtropes entry) was on our side. Or something like that. I'm on my phone so I can't dredge it up, but I'm sure it's back there somewhere.

    What I'm saying is that if I had a hunch vote to throw on any of them, it'd be EZ.

    On the rare occasion I've been a SK, I've gotten a bit obsessed with talking about serial killers.

    Of course, I'm not that good at Phalla.

    Those were liiiiiiiies. Liiies intended to add bullshit mystery to the mix and pretend that I am part of a secret faction dedicated to stopping the SK.

    I am not a member of Mak Attax. Mac Attax does not exist. The Freak is not going to contaminate the fast food supply with it's flesh. I am a liar, that was a lie. Here's another lie:

    EPICK REVEAL:
    I am Lee Harvey Oswald, Cliomancer and Godwalker of the Scapegoat. My objective is to be blamed for the demise of a faction.

    Unlike mafia, it's awfully difficult to sniff out a SK using vote records because generally speaking they don't give a shit who goes to the vote.

    Of the three candidates I'm most suspicious of Bedlam, but I don't feel particularly strongly about any of them. Zahn is just doing what Zahn does, Mill is being quiet but no more so than usual (and talking to "Scotty", which is odd but par for the course for this sort of game). Bedlam seems to be making the most concerted effort to stay under the radar, which seems the most logical course for a SK (unless you're infidel).

    Voting for Macallan. Has been very very quiet, and has been right in the middle of the winning bandwagon every day except for day four.

    That day, he was the only one who voted for MrTlicious.
    That was also the day we voted out OminousLozenge.

    The next day, when we voted out Langly, he was safely back in with the pack.
    He's also a new player, and my thinking is that he voted for someone -- anyone -- other than OminousLozenge on day four, and the next day was instructed to vote for Langly so as not to further blow his cover. He voted late, and he voted with no real explanation.

    Hm. Just remembered that MrT also died red. Well, it doesn't change my reasoning that much. He still wasn't voting for the vote-leading mafia.

    No worries Sir Fab.

    So, here's a funny story about last night. I've got 6 people claiming to be Masterless men, when I'm pretty sure there's only 5 total. Two MM are dead already, so there should only be three left in the game. I was fairly sure on one of them and had him not submit an order. Everyone else was given a different name to target. Two of those targets are dead today. Premium also claimed Masterless Man (thanks SK!)

    So did SirFab

    I really hate the start of December when I'm at my parent's house. God I wish they had replaced all their old crappy light strands with LEDs. Granted those seem to have issues but usually they break in a way that kind of says "this strand is shot." Instead of leaving to you wonder if have a single dead bulb on a perfectly good strand. ><

    So cool network call. SirFab.
