i could understand it if your activity levels dropped. but never give up! town miay have destroyed themsleves if you had lurked it out, which IS a completely fair scum tactic.In post 1227, Fern wrote:I was busy and I didn't see myself winning.In post 1224, mozamis wrote:why concede you were playing well?In post 1217, Fern wrote:I think I realized once I got the doc that I shot myself in the food.

Evil acts out in pairs and attacks thrice until an army is grown from the ashes and the sand that the flames leave behind. The village is burning and the flames require dousing if my garden is to continue to flourish.
My loyalty lies not with the village but rather with the garden, with the flowers that bloom, with the grass that grows. I realise that now. This world would bloom with my garden if those who do not appreciate the smell of roses were vanquished. Evil does not care about beauty and as such would be best ridden from the earth. And to the village idiots that stamp on my flowers and give me reason to believe they are weeds: I feel no remorse. But there is still one thing I am left to wonder, are the evil and the weeds one and the same? Of course, weeds are inherently evil but are the evil inherently weeds? I must conclude that both are not welcome.
I concede that I also have fear amongst my wonder. Like, say, what would happen to my garden if I were to become nothing but dust? There is no way for me to pass on the rose. The gardener is a guardian of the garden. So, it is settled then. I cannot die; to do so would be condemning the flowers to burn. It was obvious that moz was evil, and I pushed him hard. To the town of whom I am not aligned I have done a good deed, a contribution, and to that I am proud. But then I recalled that getting such an action right would be asking for the evil doers to retaliate against me. moz was not fooling anyone with his pretence that he was the doctor. He claimed a name, and we are not named. So I used the opportunity to play a fool, to devalue myself. To pretend that I had believed the claim in the end. I pray only that my efforts were enough to throw them off the scent. By pretending not to understand the meaning of a claimed name I emit the impression that I have no greater role than to participate.
With 1 evil down I must pluck a weed. After being bipolar over my choice throughout the day, during this night only 1 name springs to mind. Joey. He seemed to take pride in associating himself with the now confirmed evil. As the world came crashing down for moz, Joey's silence screamed volume. Joey had emphasised the importance of getting the votes sorted for the end of the day yet he was not around to do so? If his previous activity is anything to go by, he should have been more than capable to make comment at the time of the claim. I've always seen a light in Joey's eye that seems to suggest he has no appreciation of nature. Tonight, that light goes out and flowers will be grown in his place as I choose to pluck the weed that is Joey_.
N3:mutantdevle wrote:The scent of my flowers has all but lead the town astray into haplessly wrong theories of 2 works of evil. It would appear that I am the only one who saw the Joey-Moz connection and this makes me feel a fool, one I have not made pretence to be. I have never been good at judging character which makes me anxious as the flames move in closer and the sky turns to black.
The death of Joey was the work of yours truly; this means the death of trust itself can only be the work of evil. Presently, I am the only village folk that can hunt by association. Who would want rid of dear old Albert? My analysis of his opinions yield no result. Johan was the only real suspect but has since been watered beyond what was necessary. Could Dunkerdoodles have had influence in the dissolution of trust? His claim would suggest not. But why dissolve? This method of death is rather specific. Is this the way in which he died or the way in which he was killed? If this is a method of death then could trust be one of those rights made of pure phantasmal bonds and hence dissolved?
My thoughts tonight are that of uncertainty. All those who have spoken appear to articulate the truth and I cannot deduct foul play behind their claims. I have nagging doubts about Hopkirk's play and distrust his motive to help the town. It is as though he is a weed choking a flower from beneath the soil and out of sight of the guardian. However, this view is nothing more than the inner feeling you get when you think it's about to rain despite the clear sky; it doesn't always rain. The opinions of the town also lead me to believe that perhaps I am too quick to assume that Dunkerdoodles can track those who wander at night? If my presumption is correct then that makes him a threat to my nightly gardening and a valuable asset in trimming weeds.
So with role claims confusing my indication of who I can trust, I instead choose to experiment. A theory was discussed during the day but presently holds little water. But even the smallest quantities of water can douse a flame if used correctly. This theory was if Moz's screams were because of what he was or were they to do with how he was killed? Who on his wagon could cause him to turn to dust? If this theory is true then there is one thing for certain, those responsible for Moz's transformation did not help to kill Raya. There are 2 individuals who match this description: Ibuki and CytheVoyager. I do not trust myself to decide between the 2. So instead, I took to the stated opinions of the town over which one is preferable to be ridden. It seems the town has inadvertently voted Ibuki Meowda and they shall be the weed I pluck tonight.
Now let's not forget the precious gift that has been bestowed on me by Bins. I think it would be most wise to use this precious tool at the earliest convenience and I am going to do so, especially given the circumstances. For earlier today we were told that the very person who gave me such a beneficial gift was guilty of something. I do not believe this to be true for even a single second. But could these results be that of insanity? The proceedings of this night shall give an answer but would drealmerz accurately relay this information, does he already know the answer? There is nothing to stop him from lying about his sanity if he had evil intent. Should the evil doers permit drealmerz to live through this night then I would want to know to whom he is aligned. To find out where drealmerz7's intent lies I am required to investigate him with the help of a tool.

The Daisys are dancing, the Alliums are singing and the Buttercups are whistling; such a perfect harmony. All the while they are at the most risk of being starved. A doctor claim draws attention, attention that I hope is not too hostile. My garden needs watering and if the liquid that fills the can is that of blood then so be it; I just pray that it is not my own.
6 of us remain. The truth of Drealmerz has been gifted to me by Bins so he is of no threat. I, of course, am of no threat to myself. A simple cookie gift is too of no threat. But Fern, Dunker and Hopkirk are all willing to trample flowers to reach their own victories. I am almost certain that Fern is the last of the evil and his sight into my play makes him the biggest threat. However, his evil intent is obvious to many and he would make a fine lynch for the day ahead. To further this, UCV's recent demise can only have fuelled his rage towards Hopkirk and thus I predict that this is to be the evil's target for the night. If evil does see me as the biggest threat, then my last resort be that Hopkirk gains the impression that, should he protect me and I protect him, we would become invulnerable. Or better yet, may I harness the protection of the poppies in preventing my own fatality within the night. Regardless, I am placing faith in that Hopkirk dies tonight.
If I am to survive the night, then the biggest threat would be the results of Dunker. If he is to see me target someone who dies then my illusion that a failed protection yields no visit would be shattered in mere moments and my lies will be busted. The flowers would shrivel up and lay dormant as all hope of growth is poisoned. But Dunker is also most useful. The obvious targets to watch are the protectives who are at most risk. If I am to die tonight, then I would hope that my killer is caught as I would much prefer evil vanquished than the town to burn. But ideally, I'd hope that Dunker could watch on as Fern takes the life of Hopkirk and solidify the lynch of tomorrow.
For the blossoming of my garden to be inevitable, I require 2 of those who are town to die tonight and for evil to be eradicated tomorrow. I cannot die and I cannot be caught. There is little I can do to prevent my death but to prevent being caught is well within my power. To avoid Dunker's detection I must trim either drealmerz or the Ghostly Penguin. Killing drealmerz would give me town cred in that I have confirmed him as town, but if his township is already agreed then leaving him alive would have us both confirmed town making a Fern lynch far easier. However, as I am not fully trusted, nor is my town confirmation on drealmerz. To keep him alive would be helpful in wagoning another. So it is settled, the weed that should be cut down tonight will be Ghostly Penguin. Now they have a reason for their silence.
