Night 1 ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/JD2nV9Ql.png) There's something beautiful to the art of the spy, the art of the saboteur. After all, who would dare plot against his own country? Even the loudest malcontents are, at their heart, simply malcontents. They are not leaders, they are not impelled by a desire to destroy their mother country. No, the way a spy turns his mark is more subtle than the suggestion of gunpowder bombs or setting fires to homes. He does not shove a gun into a man's arms and tell him to kill. The first step is always to get the mark to commit a little sin. Something small, something that wouldn't be the end of him if it were found out. It could even be as innocuous as a meal out together at a posh restaurant, or a business deal between firms. Slowly, the spy develops leverage. A meeting becomes a favor, a favor a crime, and a crime something more. Each sin itself small is used to blackmail, used to coerce a bigger sin out-- and eventually, the spy owns the man's soul, for he knows secrets that would ruin him. And then, only then, the spy hands the man the gunpowder or dynamite, the tool by which the final act shall be committed. Eventually, it is only a small step to sabotage a water line, it is nothing at all to light a house fire, it is meaningless to copy official documents. And so the spy builds a network of marks, owning each of them and taking from them everything. They are not malcontents as you'd know them-- respectable people, jobs with the Government, that sort-- and they serve capably. Well, until one of them finds out too much. Even a saboteur makes a misstep once in a while. The poison pill he has concealed on his person kills him before his nationality is revealed. His papers-- forgeries. Who was this man of mystery who plotted against the Crown? For what country did he work? jaybrundage the Foreign Saboteur Network has been lynched! It is now Night 1. You may not post. Send all night actions to Blazinghand. Once the Day 2 post goes up, you may post again. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/e4jLjNxl.jpg) Day 2 Sadly, despite the best work of the British agents, they couldn't locate the spy's network of ungrateful rebels in time. Though the saboteur was dead, a House of Parliament was destroyed by fire and gunpowder, left a smouldering wreck and a testament to the impotence of the Police. Many died and a crucial blow was struck against England that day-- for though they might ever quarrel and quibble, the Parliament does undertake the actual work of governing, and they are crucial in their support of the Crown. They died in the line of duty, as any good Englishman might. DoctorHelvetica the House of Parliament has died in a fire! Welcome to Day 2. This Day ends instantly when a majority is reached to lynch. After a majority is reached, no-one may post until the beginning of the next day. With 7 alive it takes 4 to lynch. | ||

as soon as the day post comes up I am going to ask for a full claim. We are at 7-1 and will be at 6-1 after the day post. If there is only one more blue claim and it is HoP we have two confirmed town and a pool of five to look into for scum. If there are two blue claims either doc/cop or HoP/HoP we lynch into the blues and auto win. Because of DrH's early game claim scum knows we have no useful power roles so having them out in the open doesn't hurt us. This post by Vivax feels like a bus to me, he is taking credit for a lynch which he had not voted until the hammer when it was clear we were going to hammer jay anyway and he is calling me scum bussing my buddy when anyone who knows my meta (which Vivax does) knows I am obvious town here. At this point I'd call Hapa, Artanis, DrH, Thrawn and myself confirmed town. In order of most likely the last scum is Vivax>CC=Dan unless of course the claims come out funny. So things to do today 1) all blues claim 2) lynch Vivax barring something weird in the claims Scum needs three mislynches to win, those three have to be the two town out of cc/vivax/dan and one of the obvious townies in me/thrawn/hapa/drh/artanis to get that lynch the scum needs to push the me/thrawn lynch hard today to get out of having us be even more obvious townies later in the game. He'll have to put himself out in the open to do this and will therefore die a horrible death. We need to lynch into Vivax/dan/cc in whatever order (my preference being Vivax first) and we will win. So, I ask either for scum to concede or for our slow push to victory to being with a vivax lynch. | ||

imo scum can only be one of them, and that list is (roughly) in order of likeliness | ||

Anyway, couple of things: 1) Yay for scum lynch! However, rushing lynches like that is still terribad. Don't do it. We could have gotten so much more information about scum #2 from day 1 and we rushed to hammer instead. 2) I don't think the votes matter very much given how bad Jay looked throughout the day. People I want to hear from today: Vivax - still feels like an aggressive townie, but that was an in-the-moment read rather than an objective look at his filter. Artanis - didn't do very much. Mr.CC - ditto. | ||
