Guess we will only know when / if Thyr drops a vote. Be interesting if we get a new alt tomorrow.
So it looks like the ninja thing was an apostl'eyd thing, no? It's interesting that Serc was a cultist. Who has been more or less agreeing with him, or, on the other hand, who has been distancing themselves from Serc. I am beginning to think that Osseric deserves to be looked into a little more.

@Serc - I do find it odd, and most likely significant. I just don't know how. It is handy for adding to a train, and I can't help but feel it's scummy to use that to roll up a lynch - because we don't know what it means.
@D'riss - not accusations as much as speculation, it was just a thought that I had out of nowhere so I mentioned it. As long as it's not advertised as fact, I see no harm. And who said anything about setting up lynches for later?
@Ano - you're probably right, hadn't thought about it from that angle. If it were a one shot power or somehow limited it would be less unbalancing, but that is just speculation on top of speculation.

Fair enough, bro. But this is why we NEED everyone. Any of us can get blinded by what we think. We really need to bounce ideas off of each other,not turn at each other. In fact it's just as likely that we're all wrong, and scum are lying low, hoping we take each other out. Case in point, last game. DiBs and Tattersail didn't emerge much until later in the game, after townies had built gut suspicions about each other that lasted until almost the end, and blinded them to the real scum.
Maybe we should wait and hear from these silent players like Rashan, Liosan, etc. Who else has been silent today ?
Excellent point, it feels like the same several people have been here all day, and the others are not

I'm still hung up on the idea of Tellan as the sandy haired cultist, which has fallen behind the whole Thyr/spectre convo
Anybody want to comment on it?
At this time we have little prospect for a different lynch, unless everybody shows up at once

Further, while I think it is noteworthy that they are acting in concert, we probably shouldn't take direction from the shades. They would have had us lynch a possible cult-deducer. Let us play our game and them theirs, and if they align, all the better.
I sort of agree. But us being able to see their votes has to mean something. Maybe we don't follow them, but I say we should still take them into account somehow.
it would be unfair if we couldn't see them, votes are always in the open*
*most of the time I reckon

How do we proceed to lynch? Any changes of position with this new evidence to consider...

Everybody seems to have faded away
I don't know if I'll be back before time out, rather than risk it I will vote now
Vote Thyrllan
My reasons are the spectre voting, the search for what happens when we die again and more information, and really I see no chance of a different lynch; the random lynch (as we assume it to be) is no way to go.
I hope others will be around at time out to make the final call. I will attempt to return before then, but this is a precaution

Hello Bargy,
Here are your contributions while I was asleep. I wish I could say there was a whole lot of helpful stuff there, good solid analysis etc, but I would be lying if I did..
No, I'll take a more measured approach rather than a rant.
The main push against Thyr was the dead voting for him. And Serc was the main person pushing the vote. You'll have to excuse me if I think voting for a KNOWN TARGET OF A CULTIST isn't worth some sort of piddly information about the spectre thread. And what did we learn? That he went back to the spectre thread? This may ONLY BE TRUE because he started teh game as a lich. So, if he comes alive again, should we lynch him AGAIN just to see if we can triple kill him?
It's not strange at all that I can come on after the fact (hindsight 20/20) and analyze things this way. Because hindsight has NOTHING to do with it. Who in their right mind votes for someone for whom A KNOWN ENEMY was pushing the lynch?

Some ran headlong into walls. Some crawled along the corner of the halls. Some curled up and shivered uncontrollably.
One and all, the adventurers passed a night of terror. For some it was the frantic terror of flight, for others the despairing kind as the realization that there was no way out sank in. There are, indeed, many kinds of terror.
As the faintest hints of light arose in the ruins, signaling morning above, the adventurers were each struck by a single, uniting kind of terror. An icy claw gripped their spines as a single piercing scream of pain, of horror, of abject violating wrongness wailed throughout the ruins. A single scream, and nothing more.
It is Day 3. 33 hours and 59 minutes remaining
10 Players still alive: Anomandaris, Barghast, D'riss, Emurlahn, Liosan, Osseric, Rashan, Sheltatha Lore, Telas, Tellan
8 votes to lynch.

Some adventurers found each other in the dark and have regathered in the main chamber, where a heated argument is occurring.
"If there's some terrible creature down here, we need to find another way out of here as fast as possible!"
"No! We must not unleash this force upon the city above!"
"I don't care about the city above, but what if we're all now cursed by the fancy clouds, and the only way to beat the curse is to kill them, and if we don't kill the clouds then they'll follow us, and in ten years the clouds will suddenly turn into swarms of capemoths that rip off all our toenails and slash our necks with them! We gotta kill the clouds now before they can get away!"
Everyone stared at this last speaker in confused silence, which was broken by a shout from across the room. The adventurers all turned to see the man in white robes, who was usually so calm, turning all about and flailing his arms about. He regained his focus and the other adventurers shrank back as he flung waves of glowing energy towards the corner and ceiling.
"Togg's teats! What are you doing?" The man turned to the companion who spoke, his dark luminous eyes wide in fear.
"Didn't you see it?! There was a terrible ghost!"
More confused silence, but there wasn't a ghost in sight, so they all turned back to arguing.
"You can't stab a cloud fools! We need to go on a quest to find the noble pink, green and yellow clouds which will destroy these
ones for us!"
And so on...

Someone else must have gotten contacted by a spectre thread person. I'm now curious to see if someone from the spectre thread gets resurrected as the same alignment in which they died. I.E. if Serc were to be resurrected, would he still be a cultist?
