It's time to panic
It's time to flood
It's time to give up now
Cause now is no good

Its a bad situation
With no shortcuts or tricks
There don't have to be reasons
I don't need to be fixed

I've got nothing to fight with
And nowhere to flee
I can't run from the problem
The problem is me

If there's a Townie with a neighbourisation power, might be worth using on Ruguo, Aren or Michi. 

Please welcome CerealKiller to the game in place of Anthony. CK is a friend of mine with limited Werewolf experience but a loooot of experience in Town of Salem. I've given them as much info out of game as I can without compromising the gameand they think they'll be able to pick it up. 

Welcome, Cereal Killer! 

Now die.

time to read 20 some pages but if someone wants to give me a tldr i would greatly appreciate it i'm going to dive in though

This just in! Could Cereal Killer be the actual Serial killer?  Is it time to panic?  And what does Ruguo's hidden message about "The Problem is Me" mean? Are they their own destructor or post restrictor?

More news at 4 from your local station, I've been your wolf guide to all things wolf good, Michi

quote system is weird i cant figure it out
so some quick notes gloriousbob seems hyper fixated on dolby because of a perceived slight i dont know that this is very beneficial to town

it feels like there is an extreme disconnect between the hyper active players and the lower end posters there are several people who i barely noticed while reading through this thread and than a handful of people who are stuck in my head because of how often they popped up

i find it hard to believe that there would be this many post restrictions in a game though maybe the gimmick of this game is related to post restrictions especially since if we believe these restrictions are real people seem to be able to break them and they also seem to be able to take root in the middle of rounds but if i were a town threat in a game were there seemed to be multiple post restrictions would i fake a post restriction as cover for myself

reading through these post restrictions if they are real i would possibly think that the hints here are that ruguo and arenado are lover bound based on their poetry interactions with each other i also took note of the bolded portions they were using in their poetry which kind of hints at a couple possibilities which to me are either that they are lost and in danger because people could misinterpret them as being a threat or because they are in danger of something imminent that is a direct threat to themselves but i dont know what that could be one thought is that laurentus trying to no lynch could be the answer to the threat in some way

another thing i noticed was that it seemed like melehan had their post restriction enabled near the end of the day and that it seems to have been related to something they did because they said something about being wrong and self inflicted i dont remember the exact way it was worded

michi has largely been posting in the style of a reporter and the flavor noted the existence of a reporter named liam could this potentially be michi is the lore around the game important to the game itself and if it is i find it very interesting that neon is in the lore and that abbi uses the prefix neon here and was listed on one of the vote counts she displayed during the game is the host secretly part of the game because shes hinted a few times about secret wincons is there a wincon that might involve her

final thought i find aersoldorf posting about not being able to be active and than posting a whole slew of posts in a short time while continuously expressing a need to go to sleep a bit strange it would be pretty easy i think to fake an activity issue so that you can duck out of thread if you are being pressured and just say hey i told you that i couldnt be very active here

Welcome, Cereal Killer!

Now die.

i honestly think the irony of me substituting with the username i have used since i was 14 as the serial killer role would be one of the most funny things that has ever happened to me

I think either of Ruguo or Aren might have something to do with Leigh

4 hours remain for you to make final night posts or submit night actions.

There's no practical reason to doubt the existence of this many posting restrictions since this has been described to be a bastard game by the mod (and the mod's first game design too no less). In lieu of that, it'd be best to take the content of said posters under review and judge them from that. For instance, Vro seems apt to respond simply with memes that directly answer whatever is being asked when compared to the poem writers that drone on about something with (or without) meaning (take Silver and Arena). The last of these that have no direction, or so it seems, would be Michi. At best I can recall one post where Michi, in reporter/interviewer fashion, asked one question of Glorious Bob that didn't seem like a recap of what was going on already. Course that could be the whole idea behind that posting restriction.

Outside of that, a lynch would have helped with separating people into groups to look at though, as mentioned, I suppose you could look at those that strictly went with the No Lynch since there should be at least one wolf on there (because why not). I don't recall seeing any formal vote counts though so dredging up the names will be a precursor to actually looking into said people.

At best I know you had two groups: No Lynch led by Laur and those wanting to vote ENE out over, presumably, his reading of Aers' post indicating his activity level would be low despite him going on to not be low. Of course you had Bob pushing Dolby, and myself looking at Aers (in agreement with ENE's assessment of Aers).

Just to clarify some things regarding my posts. I said that I would be limited in how much I’d be able to post during this game and yet I’m surprisingly still one of the top posters. What I meant was that I wouldn’t be able to react to things until after I got home from work, so I assumed that would mean that I wouldn’t be overly active for this game because of my new job. I’ve still been able to make a bunch of short reactionary posts after getting home and apparently that’s put me near the top of the posting list. If you look at the last game here you’ll see that I was able to react to things in real time as they happened, that’s not true of this game. That’s entirely what I meant by my claim to not be around as much this time, not that I wouldn’t post much but that I’d be limited regarding when I could post. Any attacks against me based on that argument are absurd and I think that if you take the time to look at when I’ve made my posts this game you’ll come to understand what I meant.

@eastern_new_england - see the announcement I had Mark make regarding season 9 of the MU world championships back home 

The door to the apartment flew open and Leigh ran in startling Emily awake.

"You mi…" before Emily can even get out her thought Leigh jumped on top of her hugging her tight. "Uh…what's gotten into you this isn't like you?"

"I…I saw a dead body…on my way back from the club…" Leigh struggles to get the words out. She's white as a ghost. Emily hugs her back.

"Are you okay Leigh?"

"Yeah it was just…I've never been so scared. It was just laying there in the alley near our apartment. The cops were there. I talked to one of them. I think he said his name was Jacob."

"By our house?" Emily repeated quietly.

"Yeah…"

Emily grabbed the TV remote and quickly cycled to the news channel

On screen a reporter was seen by himself. "Everything is quiet in the city tonight, not much to report. I've seen nothing happen out here." Liam said as the studio hosts smiled.

"Thanks Liam," the hosts said and it cut back to the wide angle in studio.

"I'm not sure the media knows yet I don't think they want the media to know, " Leigh said. "The scene was pretty buttoned down."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elsewhere in the city a police detective is walking down a back alley with a fedora covering their face. He walks past a club and then a bar with a bartender standing outside of it.

"Hello officer," he says nodding as the Detective walks by. The Detective turns to one side as he passes and walks just a little faster. Not saying a word.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In another place outside of London a pop star sits in a boardroom with a bunch of record producers and label executives.

"I just don't understand why I needed to cancel my London shows. Nobody is going to hurt me," she says in Korean.

"Neon the crime rates are really high. And there's a murderer on the loose that the police can't seem to catch. I can't risk the face of our label."

"Please, I'm too big of a target, they won't hurt me. What would they get from hurting a kpop singer? I want to tour London and dedicate the profits to the victims' families." The label head sighed but he knew that fighting Neon when he mind was already made up was a losing battle. He smiled at her and nodded his head.

"That's a fine idea and I know you won't let me hear the end of it if I tell you no. I'll set up media and we will get you into London tomorrow to do press for a restart of the tour."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the office of Detective Jacob Lane a report is placed on his desk by an aide. He flips through the pages. The coroner report has been heavily redacted. Every day it feels more and more like someone in the city is trying to make sure this murder is never solved.

It's impossible to figure out anything from this report.

GloriousBob was killed last night he was REDACTED a member of REDACTED and his role was REDACTED

Day 2 begins now and will continue until 3:30 central on April 3rd or until a majority is reached.
