So much to catch up on.
Why are people voting Lock? I'm not defending, I just can't track down the reason on thread.

Tyrant Steve
You are the ruler of a small village in a peaceful prosperous kingdom. Your father was a kind and good ruler but alas you are not. For decades your people have not had to worry about anything so they are ripe to be exploited by your evil ways. You have put together 3 citizens that are your own personal bodyguards. These are your Shields and by your own decree they remained hooded and hidden from each other and the local population. Your job is to enjoy life to the fullest. Your role and alt are known to all players at the beginning of the game
You alone know the identity of your protectors.
You cannot be lynched if even 1 loyal shield remains alive.
You can kill one player at night if you have cast at least one vote during the day.
You can at any time afflict one player with either silence or Rhyme Time. (Player must speak in Rhyme). This can be as short or as long as you want but no longer than one game day. You cannot afflict the same player on two successive times nor successive game days. Why you ask? Because you are evil and get a perverse pleasure out of tormenting your people.
Yes that looks just the same to me. Both of the roles I got that actually did anything had changes to them to make them fit in the game. I would actually like to try to lynch Fener just to see if he even has shields.
Why wouldn't he have shields? I'm not saying it can't happen, Rek is evil, but she stated he had 3, so I'd say he has 1 to 3 shields, depending on how successful his recruiting was. Maybe Amon could only recruit every other night. So nights 1,3, and 5 he recruits. He has his 3 shields to spawn on day 6. The arrival of the mothership was announced to arrive in two days on day 4, so I don't think any of the NKs had anything to do with that.
Why would he? That seems extremely powerful for this game. I'm being paranoid and worried that his faction is just claiming everyone they don't like must be his 'shields' so we lynch them and clear out the other scum faction.
Honestly at this point I would guess (guess mind you) that there were 8-9 people on each town faction and the scum factions started with 2-3 each with very powerful and/or recruiting roles. And we still have the mother fucking SK lurking about, we haven't hit them once...GIVE ME 9 VIGS A NIGHT PATH-SHAPER, DAMN YOU.
I want to hear why Sorrit thinks Ampelas and Demelain are the shields for Fener before I vote anywhere, and I want to talk, at the very least, about investigating the lowposters. Maybe I have a hard-on for Trake, but 16 posts and has been alive since the beginning of the game? Really?

Vote Lock
Going with Lock because I think he was Korlat. Korlat was a scum necromancer, which had a recruit mechanism in the old game. Of course there's nothing for sure to say she didn't start town, because Pran Chole is a sneaky son of a bitch, but at least I believe it to be a 3rd and final alt, so we get rid of someone.
I suppose this is possible, though I do not see the reason for thinking Lock was Korlat, but I think you're right that Korlat is on their last alt, and it would be ideal to take out a player that formally had a powerful role like necromancy -- if it is anything like Amon turning into the Tyrant, we should be careful.

Didn't ps come on and state that the tyrant was immune to na's and guards while the shields are alive? Why would she do hat if ere we're no shields? Let me go see if I can drag up the post.
Not correcting Tulas here. There are almost definitely shields. Especially since we know that Amon had enough time to get at least 2 recruits before landing in the Fener alt. It would be nice to get a shield one of these days.

Um. Well. I just googled "Sylar" and saw that he is a serial killer on the show Heroes. Disclaimer: I have not watched the show Heroes, and I have not played a Mafia game involving the role of "Sylar." I searched him on the thread and only found the one game where there were a bunch of different types of Sylar's? And a post mentioning that being Sylar was on par with being like.. pretty powerful... and not in such a good towny way? I honestly do not know if being Sylar means anything, I only know what I saw on the Heroes wiki, and I saw the words "serial killer."
So I'm probably painting a huge target on my back, and I would love to continue trying to find scum, but I'm equally concerned about the SK, and I guess I'm ignorant enough to be posting this (and I see people dying during both day AND night and/or repeatedly getting silenced, so I'd rather not have that happen before divulging the one thing I do know), but Tulas Shorn is Sylar.
Oh, and hello TS.
OTHERWISE, I still stick by thinking Fener does have shields, I suspect Amp/Togg/someone else may be them, especially with Amp's idea that ~Fener-doesn't-have-any-shields~
Anyways. I must go to bed now. :\
This is interesting, but what has been said by others since the post suggests that Sylar can be a town role, despite his character on the show. That said, I thought it was suspicious that Tulas completely ignored the post at the time, instead posting these:

Is there anyone on our known scum list that was alive when fender spawned?
Tulas Shorn, on 05 April 2013 - 07:13 AM, said:
So unless fener knew what alts were spawning, any of our known scum couldn't be shields.
Edit: stupid auto correct fender-> fener
Not sure if Tulas failed to notice the reveal, or perhaps he thought it was not worth replying to. In either case, I can see Tulas pushing on Fener to distract from that Liosan post, possibly because he is the SK.

So why do you think Amp and Demelain?
I've seen you railing at Sorrit, but I'm still curious why people think Demelain is a shield?
AND WHY IS EVERYONE IGNORING LOWPOSTINGASS TRAKE?
Not so much as ignoring, as no real info on him. Why take a shot on a low poster, when we have 4 or 5 known scum? I also would be more inclined to finishing someone's last alt off, instead of taking out someone's first.
Even though we have yet to hit the SK, we have yet to hit any of Steves shields, you want to take out people we know aren't either of those?
I reiterate, why do you think Ampelas and Demelain are steves shields?
Yeah, if we are looking for shields, it is no surprise that we set aside the scum list for a second or two. The issue is whether or not we consider scum more of a threat than the shields guarding tyrant, or more of a threat than the SK that has been hanging around. I feel like scum and the SK would have more dangerous night actions, more likely to kill that is. But then, Fener's shields were recruited, so who can say what kind of skills they brought with them. Rough decisions.

So tired, the words are swimming on the page...
I think it's fairly unbelievable that with all the reveals on thread, all that we know about re-spawned alts and the several people rambling on about whether there are actually shields in the game or not, the best BH can suggest is a low poster hunt. Really?
I think we're best to keep picking off the scum we know, before taking random stabs in the dark. So with that
Vote Lock
Is this vote for Lock because of Barghast's suspicion? I'll have to go back through the thread, I definitely missed a reveal or some shit.

So there are roughtly 11+ hours remaining. I'm down with a Lock, Togg or Anomandaris vote but Trake is the same team as Amon. I don't know if it's because of a recruitment or he was on the team from the start but I'm pretty sure that Fener is the reincarnation of Amon and Amon was on the Meyern team so I would like to try and ferret out someone who might be one of the Shields of the Tyrannt.
I'm not quite convinced that Amp and Dem are shields. The information has come from an untested source. Though it looks like a few people would like to test the theory.
Do we know for sure that Trake is on Amon's team? If so then we likely have a shield target right there. I mean, the shields are hiding among those few who were not revealed as scum as of yet. Trake fits the bill in so far as we know he is not one of the revealed scum, he keeps his head down, and if Pran Chole's info is correct, then Trake is also on the Tyrant's team (Amon's team)
