“Can’t I go back to the hospital?” James Cole asked, scratching the side of his head. “I want to walk around outside! In the sun! Where have you sent me?”

Old Joe frowned, keeping his oddly protective vigil around James Cole. He was, as his name suggested, a much older man than James, but they shared the same facial structure, same confident baldness.

It was almost as if they were the same person, but aged by 20 years.

An onlooker twirled their oroborous ring nervously, seeming intrigued by the way these two interacted.

“It’s alright, James. We’re safe.” Joe said, his voice lacking in all emotion. He scanned the room, blunderbuss in hand. “We’re going to catch the bastards responsible for this!”

It was quite sudden, then, when a zebra wandered into the room, as though from nowhere. James started screaming. “It’s them! The army of the twelve monkeys!”

“That appears to be an undomesticated equine,” said a calm man with an odd, raised golden tattoo on his forehead.

“SHUT UP!” Joe said, firing his blunderbuss into the ceiling.

For once, the partygoers listened. Hundreds of eyes were on them.

“Now, I’ve seen how evil organisations operate. I used to work for the mob. My friend—this sniveling idiot—just ignore him, okay?”

A lioness appeared, right next to James. James grabbed his head. “(215) 569-9999! (215) 569-9999! (215) 569-9999! (215) 569-9999!” He started repeating the number, compulsively.

It wasn’t entirely clear whether James was really a time traveler who belonged at the party, or if he was just delusional.

BANG! BANG!

Two shots from the blunderbuss took care of the lioness and the zebra, but caught in the shot was James himself.

Old Joe cried out in alarm. “NO! I can’t—”

He started fading from existence, in an apparent time paradox.

The people who hadn’t been somehow disabled by the mysterious, invisible enemy looked around nervously.

What was going on?

Could it be stopped?

Fred was killed in the night. He was James Cole, Sibling Mason one-shot Loud Watcher, aligned with Town.

Thea died from heartbreak. He was Old Joe, Sibling Mason one-shot Loud Tracker, aligned with Town.

It is now Day 6.

3 players alive, 2 to vote off.

Adum, what are the odds we have a strongman in the game?

Man, I don't know wtf is going on this game. My setup read was predicated on Fredd and Thea being indies and since they weren't I'm just not sure and trying to reassess.

Which reminds me, who and when did you roleblock?

Posted: **Fri Dec 06, 2024 3:23 pm**

Mak last night hence the question!

What was your rationale given our plan?

But, I don't think continuous, it wouldn't match either having a doctor or a BP. I guess given that Thea was town, his speculation of shared one shot faction effects was a legitimate theory rather than being self-serving so I'll have to consider it.

Posted: **Fri Dec 06, 2024 3:40 pm**

Plus, Mak has a proven role.

Alright awesome very glad we are not in crazy pants setup land

Fred and thea thank you for your service o7

Adum and wam Ill hear you final statements as to why it isn't you. Need to finish my full re-read still but yeah interested to hear yalls final pitches before I make my decision. I had another wedding Im attending tomorrow so Im not going to be very present over the next 48 hours but during my travel back sunday I plan to get my deep dive done. Thankfully madge is merciful and deadline is jist long enough to get home in time for the final decision

Regardless of how this goes I gotta say mad respect to everyone in this game its been a banger, im nervous af because the stakes are high here but this was truly a game for the history books. Props to the last scum for grinding this out

Posted: **Fri Dec 06, 2024 4:04 pm**

Also at this point yall both need to full claim and publish a full list of every night action youve taken this game, and any and all results received, with brief rationale for each action please

This feels more like town shooting itself in the foot then awesome tbh.

Question, who'd you target last night?

And I have full claimed, got nothing.

If I had stopped the kill makes end game easy! I was also still banking on town Fred Thea.

Mak is very I'm the solid town it's my call to make ! Which is fakeable. So mak why isnt it you?

I think all my actions are public will put together an easy to read summary though along with rr reading.

That's a valid rationale and consistent with your prior statements.

The other thought process that would make sense here is that you wanted to pocket the information, no execute again (which was in my flowchart) and then bring it out after scum killed if they killed Thea/Fredd.

Pretty much every single slipped townlot has townread me so either im the fucking greatest powerwolf to ever do it (Im not btw my scum game is significantly worse than my town game) and snowed the entire game or Im just town. Ive also been on both scum wagons and not a late joiner at that

Adum I took no action last night, neither of yall have claimed anything that could have been useful to double to help solve here and I didnt want to risk enabling a scum role to double up on something that couldve lost the game for town here. As I said at EOD yesterday I adopted a maximally conservative approach once I realized forcing scum to sort the masons was +EV

Posted: **Fri Dec 06, 2024 4:53 pm**

Im not sure why you think town shot itself it the foot, now knowing that thea and fred were lifelinked masons, we made the right move as yesterday if we had miselimed one of that pair we would have already lost, so the choice would have been between you and Wam anyway butbjust with two extra votes which took alpha strike out of the question

Not yesterDay. You're right it was the right move, but I take full responsibility for my misread.

The Santy yeet was where I think town shot itself in the foot.

Posted: **Fri Dec 06, 2024 4:58 pm**

Every single flipped* townslot

Posted: **Fri Dec 06, 2024 5:03 pm**

Wam should also know ive been 100% truthful about my role as he was the benefactor of my N2 target

Posted: **Fri Dec 06, 2024 5:06 pm**

And fine Ill admit the santy yeet wasnt great

Slot can powerwolf tho and I felt much more confident sorting you and wam in a final 3 than santy so it was a paranoia prophylactic

You're not wrong but they were a doctor/bodyguard so we could've been more efficient about it then yeeted them at the end if they were still alive. Plus the quick yeet engineered by town cause they felt like they were under too much suspicion for role reasons.
