Sorry to delay response -- I was on telephone.
Two comments: Trepa's PM's seem longer than this, with some color.
With only one Power, you may want to leave the s off Powers. I'll search to see what I did for my claim.

Oops. I see that in Fubbles claim, with a single Power, his read: "Power: 1. ..." Mine was the odd claim "Special Power ... [no '1.']" Anyway, you might want to add a little color, something like "But there are scum out there trying to trick and trap your hero."

If you're looking for suggestions, here's: ---------------------
Role PM (mafia) The Girlfriend (Town Roleblocker)
You are enamored with our young hero, but there are others seeking his affection who are secretly trying to trick and trap him. You want to help him overcome these evil scum. By disarming any potential threats to him, you hope to prove your love, and live a long and happy life together.
Power: 1. You have the ability, each Night to stop another player from using their night action.

Trepa lives on Mountain Time; he should be more explicit.

Fun playing with you, Silver Jan! Better Luck next time! Ed, we're both so high on the suspicion list, we may want to go for early resignation.

Never resign!!! There is always another game, I will be rooting for you two, don't let me down by resigning, please!

protect yourself, septimus
my preferences for our kill
Mental Guy - best kill choice? Å vejk - good kill choice, but he trusts us Hirka - good kill choice Choie - under lynch pressure Mahaloth - under lynch pressure Fubbleskag - under lynch pressure FluidDruid - under lynch pressure Scathach - under lynch pressure PCM - likely to be mod killed
did I forget anyone?

resign? When you're relatively trusted and I'm good for another Day maybe 2 perhaps?
No, we fight on.

Fight on it is. I'm probably going down soon, so please get cred for helping to Lynch me.
Mental and Hirka both seem excellent Kill choices. BTW, who's the Vig?
Wish we can think of a way to get an extra Kill via some prove-Power trick.

Just read the thread: Hirka: "While you need to claim early enough for people to see, like septimus did [yes, I believe his claim 100% now])," ... maybe we should keep Hirka around.

It's possible that PCM is the Vig.
I'm still of the mindset that it's a Serial Killer. And my guess would be Mental Guy or Mahaloth.
So let's
kill: Mental Guy[/color]
sorry, Mental, you need to attract some suspicion of you want to live

I agree to the Targetings. Is Fubbles going to be Lynched toMorrow? Assuming he's heavy favorite to be Lynched, how does this sound as a plan: I defend Fubbles strongly, hoping to get Town cred when he flips Town. arguing (1) Scum would be unlikely to concoct such a strange role as Hider. (2) Since Fubbles is almost immune to NK if he hides behind Scum (or behind anyone unlikely to be NK'ed) he's an especially valuable Townie to keep around. I intend to keep mum about whom I protected, but say I strongly believe choie and she is on the short list of people whom I choose among. Meanwhile, Ed, please offer suggestion for whom I should find Scummy. The anti-Septimus people are certainly right about one thing: I'm not helping to make Scum cases. That's because I'm so straightforward that no one seems Scummy to me except Ed and I.

Well, at this point, I think yous should be trusting Choie. None of what follows is for the game thread. I might use it, but I think it would only draw attention to yourself. And we don't need that.
Though I still think it quite likely she's lying. A Town roleblocker? Why? We have a group kill that's unblockable.
But if she really were a SK, she'd have to come up with something to counter Silver's claim that she was a killer. But why not claim Vig? The approach she took meant she'd only survive if Silver was, in fact, Scum.
It might benefit if you list out who you find suspicious. be sure to include me somewhere in the middle of the list. Make sure you state that I'm untrustworthy no matter what. (That is, if you've played enough games with me to know that. Have you played with me much when I was lying tricksy Scum? Like Dr Seuss?)
As to fubbles, don't defend him strongly, but a dismissal of the case with your reasoning might be OK....if you have someone else in mind.
If you want to be seen as Scum hunting, go through the cases against some players and add your comments. Maybe look at mahaloth, fluid, scathach, anyone we've got listed as under lynch pressure in reply 42. I don't want to put words in your mouth so look at the cases, or even ask people to summarize cases for you. Maybe include the request with a truthful comment about how busy RL gets over the holidays.

Here's my planned post. If I don't here from you soon I'll post it.
* * * * * *
It's good to feel missed. :cool:
I have been reading the thread, but not posting because, as I tried to explain earlier, Night-time discussion is likely to help Scum. For example, it's very possible that less important than whom you block, choie, is that Scum doesn't know whom you're blocking. Scum probably have to designate one of themselves as Killer each Night; there's probably at least two Scum left so they will be delighted to find out which one could perform last Night's Kill without fear of being blocked.
Similarly, I'm not going to say whom I protected last Night, beyond admitting that it was one of the two Power roles I trust: you or me. It's important that we keep Scum guessing. (To answer another of your questions -- why neither of us were NK'ed -- it's probably because Scum didn't want to waste their NK on someone likely to be protected.)
ToDay's vote looks easy, since fluiddruid had become one of my prime suspects for several reasons. (And her posted PM looks suspicious to me: I'd assumed that the "(pure young maiden/handsome young fellow)" would be customized for female/male. Perhaps one of the true Vanillas can confirm whether the PM is proper or not.)
Despite the three Deaths last Night, there appears to be only one deliberate Kill, and Mental Guy seems a likelier Scum target than SK or Vig target. Either my Protection worked, or choie blocked the SK/Vig, or PCM was the SK/Vig, or (unlikely?) Scum and SK both targeted Mental Guy. I'm just guessing, but that Trepa is keeping PCM's alignment secret makes me suspect he was 3rd Party, i.e. probably SK.
My current reads on the remaining Players: I'm almost certain choie is Town; the counter-claim would clearly be an almost unbelievable ploy otherwise. I continue to think Svejk is Town. If not, he should get the MVP and Rookie-of-the-Year award for his play in this game. I was leaning strongly Town on both Mental Guy and fubbleskag, but this hardly matters now. I had a slight Town read on Hirka, but am promoting him to probable Town. If he's lying it's a very cunning lie.
I was still suspicious of Mahaloth, but, with the Detective report, will treat him as "cleared" for now. This leaves two Players on whom I'm neutral: special ed, and Scathach. Among my three top Scum picks, PCM is dead, Mahaloth is soft-cleared, so my vote is easy:
Vote fluiddruid
Some players seem convinced that one of Scathach and Svejk is Scum. I'm not sure this is true, but if we are to Lynch one of the two, I would strongly recommend Scathach.
