Oh great. One of each. That's super helpful.

The Romeo and Juliet of our times lol I just wiped out and fell asleep again. Lost half the afternoon.

Ok then let's have a little rest Story Update – Day 8, Evening Location: West Hollow Caves – Rooted Alcove Status: HP: 26 / 26 | EP: 15 / 16 | Fatigue: Low *Codex Recall Point: Rooted Alcove Active You take a seat near the vine-wrapped altar, letting your breathing slow. The soft pulse of the Codex matches the heartbeat of the earth here—grounded, rhythmic, ancient. Drawing upon your Flow State synergy and the harmony of the Rooted Alcove, you enter a meditative trance. Elemental energy flows inward like a stream reconnecting with its spring. Short Rest Initiated +1 EP recovered (now 15 / 16) Fatigue reduced to Low As your senses return, you hear faint movement again deeper in the tunnels—not hostile, but deliberate. The shrine continues to pulse gently, resonating with your Codex’s Spirit Anchor. Updated Status: HP: 26 / 26 EP: 15 / 16 Fatigue: Low Codex Recall Point: Rooted Alcove (Active) Codex Trait: Spirit Pulse Anchor New Passive Insight: Harmony of Still Earth – While at a Rooted Alcove, EP recovery during rest is increased by 1. What would you like to do next? Check the sealed scroll case and learn Verdant Tether (Earth spell) Investigate the grinding noise deeper in the tunnels Return to Windrest Hollow Attempt to open a secondary passage with Earth/Spirit magic (2 EP cost) Use Soul Veil to sense any lingering presence or emotional echoes in the alcove What shall we do next?

I think we can do a bit more general exploring as it's only afternoon. Not too sure about the full on investigation of the grinding noise though.

I'm so sorry to put this on you and Marsh. It's my first game in over 10 years and when I got the Cop I thought awesome. But then it turned into an absolute nightmare and I really had to work my a55 off. I'm exhausted.

Rest

Just quoting this cos it made me laugh at the time cos I'm 98% sure he did do this.

I have been here for all of them, apart from the 1st one which was at 3am my time. Darthe kindly moved the deadline forward to 1am so I have been staying up till 1am to make sure I was here.

I viewed DPR because he is very experienced at this game. I thought he was Town but I wanted to know if he was just pretending to agree with me about Marsh. I viewed Zander because he started going on about what the cop should and shouldn't be doing and I thought he was working with Dice. He also seemed very keen to claim that actually he'd been the one to spot Ed had made a mistake and that hissed me off. Heavy was all based off first impressions and he was a new player so I figured that if my feelings about him were garbage the other strong Town players would say so. Turns out I was wrong about that. When we got to day 3 I told you that I thought Tig was really suss and I'd be able to resolve Key later. I figured you were Town and you felt something was off about her. When Rand died he was shown to be the Doc. He had you as his number 1 Town. He was from the mummy. The Night 1 scene showed that someone did die but someone did CPR on them and brought them back to life. The character that did the CPR was called Dusty... and sandy/dusty matched with the mummy role. He had you as his number 1 Town and I think that's because he protected you Night 1. Or you would have died Night 1. But I couldn't say that I have actually been reading the scenes and saw that because the Condemner was still out there and I didn't want you to be their target and be taken out. So I knew you were really likely to be Town. You said you had Key as the deep wolf. I told you last night I'd be checking Key so I did.

Here you are lying again Distances from Key.

Lol

Dude, your only defence this game has been that everyone doesn't believe that you're the cop so you must be the Cop. You've tagged along the whole time. Yesterday you even voted Key cos you wanted to show Nyn how much a soul read she was. I think you knew we were likely to be voting Tigs and you thought she could flip Town and didn't want to be on a Town Lynch. That's probably why you decided to pretend you'd been Roleblocked instead of giving reads, cos you might accidentally list the 3rd party as Town.

Also it's lame that you're saying that the characters have any bearing on the roles.

A freaking asteroid coming to kill everyone on earth. He is saving the planet!

Let's make a Waygate! Story Update – Day 8, Late Afternoon Location: West Hollow Caves – Rooted Alcove Status: HP: 26 / 26 | EP: 14 / 16 | Fatigue: Moderate *Codex Sync: Local Anchor Point Established You draw the Codex from your side, focusing on the ambient Spirit energy that pulses subtly through the Rooted Alcove. The natural glyphs etched into the walls begin to resonate with your presence. You whisper a Weave of Spirit and Earth—Veil of Equilibrium subtly reinforcing your intent—as you pulse your energy outward. Codex Ritual – Anchor Point Set You now have a Codex Recall Point: Rooted Alcove (West Hollow) You may now teleport here from any major Spirit Node or after resting at a safe location (1/day limit). A soft echo imprints itself into the Codex, and a faint sigil glows beneath the altar. The shrine is now marked as a Waypoint, though returning here will still require caution if enemies remain active nearby. You stand, energy slightly drained but Codex humming with stability. Codex Trait Gained: Spirit Pulse Anchor Allows anchoring to shrines or ancient altars for remote recall. May only anchor at one location at a time. Current Objectives (Optional/Active): Investigate the grinding sound beyond the alcove (Possible Verdant Construct) Return to Windrest Hollow (report, sell, rest, or pursue new quests) Explore deeper tunnels toward the Verdant Hollow’s rumored entrance What would you like to do next? Check the sealed scroll case and learn Verdant Tether Investigate the grinding noise – prepare for combat or stealth Return to Windrest Hollow and report your findings Rest briefly to regain 1 EP and reduce fatigue Attempt to open a second passage using Earth or Spirit magic (2 EP cost) Let me know what you'd like to do

Yeah sorry I didn't want to lose all that by going into my PM cos I knew it's Bruce Willis from Armageddon but couldn't remember the actual character name.

This is when I knew that Dice was mafia cos he tried to say I was wrong about Ed making a mistake and I realised he'd actually been trying to stop the Ed Lynch all along. My character is Harry S Stamper from Armageddon.

Funny how you think character names are important And eventually, when he had little choice And hey... look what Ed's character actually was. ed2funy - Terminator - Arnold Schwarzenegger - Terminator - Mafia 1x Strongman lemme go get my character name for you though. Is in my PM and I don't know if quotes all get deleted if you go into PMs.

I need to drink my coffee now but I will be back.

I wasn't gonna waste a view on you. Especially after what you tried to pull during the Ed Lynch. Everyone was saying that you'd likely be the GF anyways so I figured why bother.

Yeah I didn't have chance to react to Dice claim straight away cos it happened at 3am. Probably just as well as i might have insta reacted to it and been outed. At the time I thought he was probably Mafia but he might have been Town. He'd already made it very clear that anyone CCing him would get lynched so I went along with his claim. Rand kept pushing me about that, during Night, and I didn't want to be pressured so I told him to shut up and threatened to shoot him lol. The next day I explained I just wanted to stay alive. This is why I didn't claim when I got my red peak on Tigs.

Morning. Sorry I didn't get to bed till 2am and it's Saturday so I didn't need to get up early. Ok Key was the Roleblocker. That means Dice is the GF. Night 1: I viewed DPR because I hoped he might be Town but he easily agreed with my reasons for voting Marsh 1 and I was worried that he'd done that on purpose and would say, yeah well Ithi said. I got result town. I was glad about that, and when he didn't try and deflect anything on to me I figured he was town. Night 2 I viewed Zander, cos he was going on and on about when the real cop should or shouldn't claim what they would need to do, to be believed. So I figured he was also trying to make sure I wouldn't be believed. He also was trying to say I should be the Lynch the next day. I got result town. So I relaxed a bit about him and was able to laugh along with him again. Night 3 I viewed Tigs cos I didn't want another Heavy situation. I got result not-town so I thought she was mafia. Dice was still saying I would be auto Lynched. DPR was saying it was OK and I definitely would not be but I didn't want to take the chance because there were still 2 mafia left. That meant the could still NK me and get rid of the cop. Sure Dice would get lynched the next day but they'd still have 1 player in play and I wouldn't have been able to confirm that Key was mafia. Thats why I just put Tigs at the top of my list as super suss and pushed for her to be Lynched. Turns out the not-town result was actually 3rd party and there had been a lot of discussion about whether we needed to be worried about 3rd party yet because of maths. I unvoted and waited for DPR to confirm. Sorry I didn't trust your advice, Marsh, but the only person I would have listened to at that point was DPR. He said go and I re-voted Tigs. I need to get a coffee and breakfast now but I will be back.

Right I'm off to bed. Lynch Key or Lynch Dice. Makes no difference to me. Nanight.

I do remember it saying something about fast travel previously. I guess it wouldn't hurt to save it.

Obviously I would also be extremely willing to vote Dice.
