I am proposing that if he is cult leader, he recruits this his resurrections. And so if he is cult leader, since he resurrected Suzaku, we will see an increase in the cult count at the start of Day 4. It wouldn't prove he is cult leader, but it would be a significant clue. In the meantime, there is also Wam as a potential cult leader, and whether there is an increase in the cult numbers or not tomorrow, we will not have a clue about his alignment. Therefore, by eliminating Wam, we are increasing our chances of hitting the cult leader because a) if we eliminate him and he is the cult leader, the number will likely be 0 tomorrow and b) if he is not the cult leader, the number will likely be 2 tomorrow (indicating somi). So by eliminating somi, we are essentially wasting the investigative power of the cult count.

Wam elim isn't happening unless you can get Laser on board. The numbers are against it.

As an analogy, say you have 7 cards facing down, each a unique digit from 1 to 7. Your task is to guess each card but you can only incorrectly guess 3 times. Additionally, let's say that if you guess any card but the rightmost card, you will then be told whether the rightmost card is even or odd. So what would be your strategy? You would guess any card but the rightmost card first because doing so gives you information that would otherwise be wasted. Somi here is the rightmost card.

I'm pretty sure Laser is only following you and will switch if you do.

(He also likely will be online by the deadline.)

We don't even know if LaserGuy is watching the thread.

I feel more strongly that somitomi is non-town, but will switch if Laser switches.

Thou hast arrived

Unvote. From the rules, deadline isn't the clock. It's whenver Madge is on to call it.

The countdown has passed, but I believe we can still talk and vote if there is no hammer? If we aren't going wam, I do think it's better to just flip me.

Seven. Unvote. If you are eliminated today, I'm going to tunnel somitomi into oblivion tomorrow, not Wam.

And if we eliminated somi won't you just tunnel me? My flip will at least hopefully help you see that wam's push was a scum push.

I don't do that type of read and you know it.

What I mean is the game is tainted by the idea that I'm scum. My flip will open the door to new routes.

Unofficial Votals:

Seven (3) - somitomi, Wam, Seven
somitomi (4) – bessie, LaserGuy, moody

Not voting: Suzaku, The Snide Sniper

With 8 players alive, it takes 5 to eliminate.

@Moody

@moody, it looks like it is up to you.

Interesting.

I am sorely tempted to switch and elim you 7en, both because of the flip info and the SK thing. You pulling a Vytron OTOH...

Hell with it. If LaserGuy thinks I'm a weenie for doing it, so be it.

Vote: Seven

Tomorrow's tunnel is somitomi. If I deviate from this it is because he's the cult leader and he recruited me.

Sigh

Vote: somitomi

It is Night.

Votals:
Seven (3) - Wam Moody, somitomi
Somitomi (4) - bessie, laserguy, Seven

Not voting: Suzaku, The Snide Sniper

Somi has been eliminated by majority vote.

Dawn is in about 2 days, 6 hours from the time of this post.

Note future day/night cycles will be much shorter.

The Pizzazz Posse Facebook Group has 169 members.

Somitomi was eliminated by the Town vote yesterday. They may be resurrected, so their role will not be revealed.

Bessie was killed overnight. She may not be resurrected. She was Cryonicist, independent Antisocial Survivor.

The Antisocial Survivor has died and has lost.

It is now dawn on Day 4. Dusk starts in about 3 days.

6 players alive, 4 to eliminate.

There is 1 member currently in the cult.

Thanks wam/moody

Vote: moody

Also Madge I literally bawled at that la Sergei convo

I'm going to count this as correct for my streak reading of bessie based on 1 post

pedit: I was about to double vote moody but I will hold off since moody would be at L-1 already.
