Apparently the lack of pizza/Chinese keeps one from realising day hasn't ended yet.


oh FFS

More like the presence of Cuervo and the lack of pizza.

Just get on with it.




there's still an hour and a half left of day.

Now, I wonder, does "independent" mean "town" or the 4th party?

Well boys and girls that seems to be it for day 3.

It is day 4. There are 47 hours and 58 minutes left.

There are 16 alive: (9 to lynch)
Ampelas, Korbas, Korlat, Mockra,, Omtose, Pallid, Silanah, Spite, Tellan, Tennes, Tholen, Tiamatha, Togg, Tulas Shorn, Ultama, Venesara


I'm going to start doling out modkills at the end of the day for people who haven't posted since the weekend.


Day 3 ended at 8 est on Tuesday. But apparently instant nights take two hours so day 4 will end at 10 est. I'll just go ahead and assume another two hour instant night meaning day 5 is still >4 hours from starting.

later all

Unless we get an NK with a faction CF, I'm for voting low posters tomorrow.

A person is rushed to an emergency room, riddled with bullet holes. The doctors try to save him, all the while complaining that someone must have turned the air conditioning up. Every part of him they touch with their metal scalpels and rip spreaders seems to turn a bright red, and he moans in agony each time. Eventually, he passes away.

Ampeals is dead. He was Gust Hubb and was sworn to Winter.

It is day 5. There are 47 hours and 40 minutes left. (We will do a weekend freeze in the middle of the day)

There are 15 alive: (8 to lynch)
Korbas, Korlat, Mockra, Omtose, Pallid, Silanah, Spite, Tellan, Tennes, Tholen, Tiamatha, Togg, Tulas Shorn, Ultama, Venesara

So, the metal scalpels are burning the body, which means he's got Sidhe blood. He was sworn to Winter, so I'm assuming that Gusty was a changeling. Tsk tsk tsk Gusty, that's what you get for joining the evil fairy queens!

Sidhe blood or pure sidhe - a shield or a changeling. Either way that evens up the scales nicely - dead so far are 1 summer, winter, human and independent.

What I find interesting is that the room was hot. Therefore the killer of Gust was clearly summer-aligned and if GH was sidhe must have been either declared changeling or sidhe, or if aligned human either changeling or recruited human.

Im not so sure that is what PS meant by turning the AC up. I take it to mean that the room was cold. Having to do with him being winter aligned. Otherwise I would have expected the phrasing to have been "Someone turned the heat up". I further this argument with the fact that I doubt he was killed by summer with bullets. Im guess the killer was of the shadowy agency. But other than a confirmed fact that the agency has a killer this tells us little.

What I find interesting is that you thought the scene said that the room was hot. I read that scene the same as Tulas. A wounded winter sidhe goes into a room and the temperature drops. Therefore the humans attempting to operate on him think that the air conditioning was turned on.

I think it is quite clear there are clues in them. Perhaps if you played the game rather than sitting on your ass youd have noticed

A police scanner relates an attempted assassination overnight, but it seems that most people sense something and stay inside during the night, hiding.

It gets warmer then cooler then warmer then cooler all night, very weirdly. It leads people to stay inside even more.

Korlat has been lynched.

They were a sweet young lady who seemed to have otherworldly knowledge and some pretty good magical spells. However a horde of Chicago's inhabitants rose up and destroyed her, before she could have a daughter to pass her knowledge on to. It is now lost forever.

Korlat was A Demon Llama and was an independent.

I find it curious that you both think the staff think that someone has turned the AC up but that this doesn't make the room hot.

Try this for a comparison

Someone puts a fuck-off huge great big lump of ice on your desk, another by your feet and one behind your chair. You then complain that the AC is too high.

Silanah, I read it the same way as the other two - the doctors felt too cold (as if the AC was set way up) because their patient was Winter-aligned. No suggestion that Summer was involved there. Although that's not to say that that still might be the case.

On my window ac unit. When I want the room to be colder I turn the AC up. When I want to use less power (I am going to work) I turn the ac down. At my office with our thermostat when I want the temp to be colder I turn it down and when I want it warmer I turn the temp up.


When I read turn the ac up I assume off of my life experiences to be a window unit. Because if there is a thermostat someone would say turn the thermostat down. Now you may have different life experiences and different ways of stating things. But based off of my life experiences and the sentence construct "all the while complaining that someone must have turned the air conditioning up", I see that as the room becoming cold and the ER personal complaining that the room has become very cold. Which would fit to a wounded Winter aspected sidhe coming into a room.

Now you may have different life experiences and I am not discounting yours but I feel very confident about my interpretation of the scene. I also do not see anything in there to indicate summer at all. We know that there have been attacks for the last 3 nights. It looks like a killer who uses bullets has finally found someone that they were able to kill.

Okay, all your AC experiences are clearly different to mine. I consider turning it up to be increasing the temperature. Obdi, what do you consider in terms of AC?

AC makes air colder. Turnig up the AC = making the thing that makes air cold work more = make the air more cold.
I don't see how that indicates Summer. If the Dr's were complaining that it got hot and ASKED for the AC to be turned up, that woud make sense (as the presence of Summer made the air hot, their homeostasis was out of its natural equilibrium and they requested more power to the thing that makes air colder, to restore their temperature homeostasis.
However, the scene indicates their discomfort at the possibility of the Ac being trned up. Suggesting the air got colder, uncomfortably so. Which would indicate Winter. Makes sense as they had a dead Winter Sidhe in the room.

And it's one thing to give a death scene flavour before saying who it was that died via a CF. It's a totally different thing to hint as to who killed the stiff. And mods usually don't do that. Hence me considering you to be wasting your tie overthinking crap
