After the issues last year, I will go over the rules again:
Contestants posts in darkcyan their selection.
They can post up to one plus the number of hours that have past since this post (rounding down to the hour). Posting can be done over the course of the day so keep checking back in to add to your list.
The post must start with a different letter than any of their previous entrees and must go alphabetically. Skipping letters is allowed but they can't go back to skipped letters later in the day. To get the maximum of 20 cities they can skip up to six times.
They cannot duplicate any answer that another player has given. Only the first post for a city counts.
This years category is Fictional Cities. Any city, preferably from a well known source, counts. Cities in general so towns, metropolises villages all would be valid, but not whole kingdoms, states or countries. For any controversial or lesser known options, please give your source.
This game was available to the Dead as well. So I fired off this:
I'm going to assume "The" in city names isn't important for alphabetization purposes. I'm also going to assume it's irrelevant whether the location's been destroyed.

I find that difficult to believe, considering that my prize was not even remotely close to bringing someone back to life.
And yet, here I am. Again, we were playing a separate game among the Dead in my case - wasn't competing with you. We had an opportunity to come back to life on Saturday as well, which I'm assuming JPants accomplished.
Just to lay all the cards on the table, several members of the (Heart)Less have been identified.
At this point, regardless of your alignment, your best option is to vote against the Less.
The power struggles of the Town itself don't mean anything to me, I'll work with anyone who's a real person and not a Shadow Monster.
Every Less voted out is a member of your faction not voted out.
If there is someone who used to be in your faction who is now a member of the Less, they are not a member of your faction any more.
In conclusion: A vote for 38thDoe is a vote not to be exsanguinated by monsters.
Yeah I don't know about any of this, but I can tell you that I received a message that someone attempted to convert me last night but it failed. Why it failed I have no idea, but could that be what is making Sir Fab sad? Vigs don't normally convert people.

Honestly, the most fun part of the list (apart from trying to pick a Malazan Book of the Fallen city that both fit a hole and was a relevant part of any of the novels - I got to look over a lot of maps there) was collaborating my wife and then systematically eliminating any towns from the Pokemon series, because Obi was also dead and we got no points for overlap.
I'm pretty sure you can do the entire alphabet just from Pokemon towns, but was trying to avoid repeat-sourcing except in the case of Moorcock (my bar-none fave); the D&D double-dip I at least managed to cross settings for.

So your argument is that someone tried to convert you last night and even though you don’t know who it is, it could possibly be me even though I correctly called no kill last night.
I mean I’m convinced but I worry that the rest of the player base won’t be.
Yeah of the two arguments at the moment, I believe 38thDoe less.
Sir Fab hasn't given us anything yet to doubt him. He's obviously not confirmed, but at the very least the "vig appearing" kill stopped when he said it would.

Well could have been someone else I guess. Just kind of random that I have a campaign for my death on the same night as failed conversion. I’m not village I am a survival neutral and I do not have a kill. So please look elsewhere for whatever else is going on in this game.

Well, is *is* self confessed not-village. Whether that means he counts as hostile...eh. Seems like a different flavor of neutral?
Here's what I'm thinking we've got going on: 4 factions and a bunch of neutrals.
Village are against the Mafia, and the (key)Masters are vs the (heart)Less. 2 different opposing battles.
The question now is, was 38th being a lying bad guy with his comments about conversion or was that just an "outted bad guy ploy"? Would make sense that a Less couldn't be converted by the Mafia (or Village). With so many neutrals a conversion also makes a kind of sense. Hmmmm.

Wait, is there a mafia?
Edit: Also the OP implied there could be conversions. I mentioned that on like, Day 1 or something.
Neutral is close enough I guess. But voting JaysonFour anyway because A. we know Sir Fab has offed village before (presumably an accident, but still) and B. it's always fun to kick the wagon and see who it panics into voting..

Emphasis mine. Dunno if if Phoenix-D is discredited or not, but that's accurate.
... I'm alive.
I too won a game and was granted life.
And yet, here I am. Again, we were playing a separate game among the Dead in my case - wasn't competing with you. We had an opportunity to come back to life on Saturday as well, which I'm assuming JPants accomplished.
It's a relatively low-kill game I thought, though. It'll never endddd! :P

Guessed who would win between Egos and Locus, as well as the final letter without going over.

Negative. Same name role, faction as when I died.

I appreciate the vote of confidence!
Don't really have strong feelings about who to vote for. I guess there's not much harm in seeing if Sir Fab is right, 38thDoe
