It's a simple thing, but if I told you it would probably undermine Puddor's abilities.

Knowing when to call, raise or fold is all a part of the game. And I think this is when risking it all isn't worth the payoff.

My evidence was just updated. My client isn't protected from night kills. Whoever I pick can't be affected by other night abilities, but can be killed.

So I don't think it's worth risking our detective at this stage of the game, because there's a strong chance mafia would attempt a night kill anyway. I mean, I would, if I was mafia.

Being straight with my abilities here is fine, because I don't intend on revealing my client anyway.

Any mafia would take any free chance to get rid of a g-man breathing down their necks. That's why I resisted the plan from the outset. Good thing we didn't jump.

Yes, there was a reason I was hesitant to voice the plan anyway. Too many potential shortcomings. Anyway, I've reverted to my original client choice. By the next day phase, I'll know their identity.

I understand completely. It was simple courtesy that governed my choice not to tell.

I'm tired, cold, sneezy, and this is the perfect footnote to end the day on. So that's enough for today.

And that's hammer!




While there has been a great deal of deliberation today, particularly on the finer aspects of the legal system, it seems that we cannot arrive at a verdict just yet. Which is well: I would have been quite surprised had we done so. The system works!

Court is adjourned for now. We will resume in 24 hours on 11:00 PM Sunday, EST
PM me your night actions before that time.

Ilan14 has been killed Night 1! He was the Detective.


Day 2 will last 72 hours and will conclude on 11:00 PM Wednesday, EST.

I can't help but recall that YellowMagic was the only one interested in what Ilan had to say. Yet, when Ilan accidentally roleclaimed, YM didn't have a thing to say about it. I had hoped I was the only one who had noticed, but I'm not naive enough to think that YM didn't notice.

Wait, Ilan role-claimed? Where was that?!

A couple pages ago, he came out of absolute silence exclusively to ask Puddor if she could guarantee his safety. I told him in police chat that what he had done was essentially the same as a naked woman running on a stadium green with a banner saying "I'm the detective!" but the damage had been done. I knew if town noticed, there'd be an indicator of it, but if mafia noticed, they'd keep quiet.

Actually, I myself suspected Ilan may be the detective after you came to his defense of his bandwagon jumping. Something in that exchange made me think he may have been your man, and I was right I guess.

I don't think YM's suspicious. I'm not at my computer so I can't check the results of other things just yet, but there's my two cents.

After all, we were all talking about using Puddor's power to protect him.
Okay, so looking back, I can't see where he role claimed. His manner of speaking, in retrospect, was indicative of possibly having an investigative role - he kept alluding to his investigative options being limited on day one - but I took that to mean that there just wasn't enough information around to be making sound judgements, not that he had a role in particular.


At least we still have officers to be promoted to Detectives, right? ..I hope so.

In any case, it seems that mafia opted for a night kill instead of a turning. Kind of silly of them, honestly. Unless Ilan was killed by our vigilante in which case, really silly of Vigilante-san. GG man.

Oh that? I just wrote that off as him being concerned about Detective not being protected. He didn't say "I/My", he said 'the detective' so yeah, it wasn't as much of a call-out though others probably saw more into it than I did.

Again, retrospectively, it is rather telling but at the time it just seemed like a concerned citizen bringing up a point. Still, as detective he should have left it to someone else to ask that, or asked you in private. >.<;

Well, if I were mafia I would've killed Ilan. There was enough said for the chance of him being detective being too high. So, I'm not exactly surprised.

Plus I think everybody forgot that I have investigative powers as well, so killing Ilan is a strong move. Which was mildly amusing.

Yes, there was that, too, but Ilan had been pressing over the psychlock jokes, and YM seemed to be taking him a little seriously. YM fell absolutely silent about Ilan after I defended him, and he didn't say a word about Ilan's accidental role claim. I don't know. I still didn't expect it. But the inescapable fact is, YM is the only one that took an interest in Ilan, and now Ilan's dead. YM still might very well be town, but there's something in that.

Your defending him might also have been seen as a deciding factor - prosecution defending the detective and all. >.<

YM is a solid lead for now, but we still have to hear back from other players before we push. Like I said yesterday, we want to make absolutely sure we hit scum with each lynch, especially since they can increase their numbers. The more townies we hit, the more likely we are to screw ourselves over completely.
