Catch-up Flavor:
He’s yellow… he’s metallic… and he has saved earth more times than most calculators can count. He is a Transformer… but THIS time his ever-ready battery has run out. Bumblebee’s sad face is as sad as it can be. What little he speaks often sounds like a Brazilian Computer program crashing, but from now on the Bumblebee has no buzz. Ezio is no longer functioning. He was Bumblebee, a vanilla townie.

Woodrow Dolaryde was rich. By some accounts, he owned this town. But owning wasn’t enough. Even if Woodrow flew a spaceship that could do the Kessel run in under12 parsecs, it wouldn’t have been enough. Mostly because he was old. And old people are next to worthless. Woodrow watched his lifeblood ooze out between his age-spotted fingers. He would have cried if he thought it would have helped. But it wasn’t. Jeff Kuta has keeled over. He was Woodrow Dolaryde, a cowboy townie.

At least Russell Casse wasn’t drunk. Whatever mysterious means he used to stay alive after flying his fighter into the alien HQ in the LAST movie, this time, he couldn’t quite make it. He drove straight, alright. But not fast enough. JUST before he reached the soft alien underbelly of the monstrosity hovering over Washington DC, a pigeon flew into the intake manifold of his jet. And it exploded. Along with Russell. Snowy801 has exploded. He was Russell Casse, a boring earthling.

Are we just not going to have an EoD? Is no one going to show up for when rdrivera is lynched?

I'm here.

And I read your case. I mean, I also townread Balduran and Vash (and you) so I get the process of elimination part - though I'm pretty sure rdrivera is scum.

As far as your "reaction test", I stand by my belief that your idea of intentionally mislynching was moronic, so I'm not sure why you found that reaction scummy. Why we would ever intentionally mislynch is beyond me.

But whatever, rivera will flip in half an hour and hopefully we'll get a game end message.

This is going to lylo. I think you all should consider Prado's case and also do your own reads. Prado is the only one trying to solve the game. Whoever are the other two towns should do the same. At this point scum have 66% chance to win as he just need one of the two towns to choose badly.
Sorry for not been able to avoid this myslynch and good luck fellow townies.

Mikaela Banes was cute. While not a Brazilian, her dark hair and soft voice made most Brazilians want to spend time with her. But she had made the poor choice of getting in the way of a war. And so she perished. Earth didn’t trust her. Maybe she was too pretty. Maybe they were jealous of her popularity. But whatever the reason, she was dead. She died alone. Hardly anyone came to watch Mikaela die.

Rivera2005 is dead. He was Mikaela Banes, a vanilla Earthling.

It is now night. You may post.

Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
20 Jun 17 UTC
I feel like its got to be Vash. Because I don't see a world where Bald bussed lawyer D1, and Prado as hooker doesn't make sense considering his D1 wagon. But I'll reread tonight. These 24hrs are huge.

I'm going to drive home and eat dinner, but I'll be on this evening, and as much as possible tomorrow.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))

Why would you vote to end night? Don't you want to use the time to get info and post reads in case you die?

Info like what?
TrPrado (461 D)
20 Jun 17 UTC
Tom:

On D2, Vash kept trying to push Balki (stalker) at EoD instead of ghug (vanilla). Why do you think that is?
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
20 Jun 17 UTC
Info that might help solve the game. Info gleaned from rereading or asking questions. Ending makes it seem like either he knows he will survive the night, or he just doesn't really care.

On the surface that looks pretty towny. I'll reread though.

Oi, that's unfortunate. Well I'll be heading to California Thursday, but I'll try to have to rereading/reads in by the end of Wednesday and check in to make my case (should I survive the night) on the final day phase.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
21 Jun 17 UTC
Bald - Why did you vote rdrivera so easily last phase? You didn't ask him many questions or raise much in terms of concern. Earlier in the game you defended him pretty adamantly - and he was at least a slight townread of yours throughout. I remember when I went after him earlier (sorry rd) that you were one of the folks defending him.

Did your read of him change to lead you to vote for him?
Balduran (119 D)
21 Jun 17 UTC
Yes and no. My read of him did go down, but my voting him is more a result of the removal of all my hard scumreads. He progressed from slight town to null and, as I developed strong townreads, slightly scum by contrast. It helped that TrPrado wrote a case that I found very convincing for RD's scuminess.
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
21 Jun 17 UTC
I suggest you reread. TrPrado actively defended rdrivera.

Is the voter fraud investigation a distraction?
Is it Republican Data mining? Beating a dead horse? Or all of the above. It feels like its designed to help Republicans gain shitloads of unsolicited free information about voters. Why else would they need such data? Why not trust the states - many of which are Red states to uphold fair elections.

New player - submitting support orders
Hi. Could someone please explain the syntax for submitting a support order? It shows up as: Army at X support move to Y from Z.
So, X is the supporting army. But is Y the Army that is being supported or the territory that they are attacking?
Thanks!

GB 3 Game Tournament
Being in the middle of a pretty long, drawn-out game, I feel the need to flex some tactical muscle. I'd like to propose a 3 game, semi-anon, 24 hour phase, WTA series. Preference is for a high reliability (<80%) and moderate to high GR. 25 to 50 point buy-in. Once we get the 7, games will be created and PW messaged out.

1) Hamilton Brian RR 98%, general GR position of 177

Magic Money Trees
The UK's totally bankrupt Prime Minister, Theresa May, told nurses they couldn't have a pay rise because "there isn't a magic money tree".

But this week there was £1.5 billion of magic money to give to some extreme-right Northern Irish homophobes with strong connections to terrorism.
