There are 9 votes for Lock (Lock, Liosan, Grasp, Barghast, Demelain, Cast, Jalan, Ultama, Meanas).
The day has ended, it is now night (day actions still to be resolved).
Lock is ineligible for election this day/night cycle as the result of an ability used on him.
No-one voted for another player than Lock, there is no replacement Mayor.
Tomorrow's Judge will have 3 lynches at their disposal.
You know I had a horrible feeling we should have a vote on someone else but I'd committed and didn't dare jeopardise the election by bringing it up before we were safe. I figured we had enough time left before Day ended to make sure a vote went elsewhere and it wouldn't be an issue, my bad.
There were two effects in force - Day was curtailed and Lock was made ineligible for election. They may have both been from the same ability or they may be separate abilities. Just because they happened together does not mean they were caused by the same thing.

I have resolved day.
Kadagar Fant is dead. It was a Longhorn (Aces) at the Outlaw's Refuge.
It is now night (well, actually movement phase 1). And you guys will have to wait until the morning for me to resolve that hot mess....
Now this is interesting. The Longhorn died in Day so was not the result of a NA against it. It was summoned today (as it is a K series summoning) and presumably sacrificed by its summoner. My speculation therefore runs along the line of thinking the Cattle Thief caused at least one of the observed effects. Something for those in the South and the Corporate Cult to think long and hard on, given that they in partucular want him dead. We have his known location, again Outlaw's Refuge. Perhaps Longhorn are hard to steer
1 and so he has three options; abandoning any other Longhorn summoned at site and hide
2, travelling via Mud Street in the Night phase, or stay put at Outlaw's through the first movement phase and moving to Mud Street in the second, or stay at Outlaw's through to Day with any other summoned cattle. To anyone that wants you, Cattle Thief, you're swimming in a very small barrel with the only action identifiable around an event that has annoyed a few people being yours. However, the Cattle Thief is described as a limited healer, not to say they don't have a power ability hidden away though. Nothing personal Cattle Thief, just speculating out loud.
Given how Day was curtailed, may I say on thread how annoyed I am - not as annoyed as I would have been had my convo been paid for by me - that was a good number of hours cut short. I'm sure everyone else with one is thinking much the same. Thank you for the convo Denul, it was appreciated. Now given someone has spent on me, I feel the urge to spend on one with someone else, I did offer earlier in the day a convo but no-one took me up on it. Given we're in Night, if you want one say so and I'll do a random draw for the winner.
Judge is now a big power position. 3 lynches will not be nice to cope with in a single go and is going to present one hell of an issue tracing back who has VC objectives potentially served by CFs if/when we get them. I'm inclined towards thinking that the next lynchees need to be the same pair - pin down if it was potentially genuine (self?) defence of them or not - and someone else. I'm not sold on this yet, because I'm aware of how I'm annoyed at Day ending when I thought we were in the clear. I'm inclined to say if we get no lynch tomorrow every faction needs to actively work towards no elections in the future.
More thoughts later, possibly. Certainly more once we have Day start details.
