I am counting the god. Even if it turns out to be neutral I doubt we would have scum god +4 more scum, thats too much of the vote.
In fact doesn't that make today mylo? Noone has been turboed yet, so we can rule it out

If all 3 of them are town, scum just won the game. They spread their votes out to disassociate themselves from each other, and prevented any new candidates from being lynched today. If one of these 3 flip town, we'd likely go for one of the others.
It's not mylo today but it sure feels like it.
Honestly, I think he's a good scum suspect to look at it for future days if we have one. He's been inconsistent, and people who try to gambit like that usually have something to hide. I don't like the fact that he's switched his claim twice now and won't roleclaim again because of something to do with a night kill he's obviously not going to get.
I can't shake the feeling that there's something off about this vote against you and OA, but now we're basically locked in with a choice of one of you three or a no-lynch. Right now Seath has two votes, one of whom I'm pretty sure is either town or a God, the other I'm leaning town on it. It doesn't look like people are jumping on a Seath vote really quickly, which is making me curious.
We should have lynched him on Day 3 too, but look at how many people jumped on his vote there? And then we ended up getting railroaded into voting off LP and a no-lynch.
Sophia I don't doubt that Seath is scum, thats entirely missing the point
Come to think of it, we don't even know for sure that we DO have to remove Peripseros.

We don't know for sure. Peripseros himself could be included even if the wording would be a little weird.
But if we don't then it makes even less sense to test him today.
Replace "that list" with your own list of suspects.
I really really doubt that Royal lied in the victory condition. I doubt it so much, I'm not even going to waste the CPU power to entertain the idea. =P
We're 40 minutes out and we're the only two really discussing this right now. No one else has anything to say? Kyan, you have something you want to say, or did you just want to chime in with the amazingly generic question of "Who do we kill?" and waltz off?
If whoever is lynched today flips town, we definitely need to look at the people who voted carefully. Especially at those who locked in their votes without really bringing big discussion to the table.
Why do you stuff these words into my mouth so harshly. I know my vote. I know the numbers. OA dies when I vote. I wanted to see if there was still something to discuss.
There was not.

That seals it. 5 OA, 2 Splinter, 2 Seath.
I wonder what's more suspicious. GP as the 4th vote on OA, or the two votes on Seath introducing a late 3rd candidate?

Er. We were kind of having a discussion regarding if a Seath lynch was viable idea for now or not. Admittly we were leaning towards it being a bad idea, but maybe you could have provided some insight on that seeing as you ask "Who do we kill?"
But you apparently don't seem to be interested in discussing it and would rather just vote and end it. :\

Actually Kyan voting for OA is iffy too. There was still a chance to swing a vote for Seath or Splinter.

I'm likely voting for Kyan tomorrow, regardless of how OA flips (probably town, hopefully scum).
Of the votes that are most suspicious right now, I'd say Kyan and GP are the biggest two, although taking a look at Dragonz's vote might be a good idea too.
Zipped, could you answer this before the day ends, please?
Why do you stuff these words into my mouth so harshly. Even with the contradictions, it is possible that Seath is P, as long as P has access to the scum team. Perhaps one of the scum members got a dream and that was the way Seath got his word for the kill spell. The possibility that Seath is P cannot be overruled by anything but a test and/or hitting the real P. I am against the test, a no lynch is not a valid alternative.
Like I said, I knew my vote.
Doesn't that make your earlier question rather rhetorical? :\

Update as you will
We were already discussing the situation when you chimed in. Why didn't you just state what you told me earlier instead of doing a rhetorical question then?
If OA is scum, then its also possible I'll die, so here are my thoughts:
All of this assumes OA is scum, since if he's not I'll be alive tomorrow.
Seath is scum, but lynching him is purely a stalling tactic. Consider it in the same way that you would consider a no lynch on mylo.
I trust GP and Zeke enough. Zeke is still possible to be scum but he'd be my 4th choice to lynch and we'd lose before we get that far.
Swamped/Kyan/Dragonz, I still believe there are 2 scum in here, pretty much by process of elimination.
Swamped voted OA early. Call it a gut read, but it looked like a bus to me. She even mentioned how "the votes will be telling" at the time. She wants us to look at the vote because it makes her look townie as fuck. Just my suspicion, with my record from this game I won't blame you for ignoring it.
Dragonz seemed to be looking for an excuse to vote Seath, I don't find her final posts very convincing.
Kyan is probably my pick for the townie in this group.
There is so little to separate these three reads though. I want to see lots of in-fighting in this group tomorrow please. For the one of you thats town you'd be helping us win. For the two of you that are scum its your best way to look townie, which is kind of your job, k? This is your very own thunderdome. Three will enter, one will leave.
Good luck

It was relevant only if he mentioned anything but that word.
How many votes are left?
I thought there were four? 2+3 = 5...
Or are we saying we lynch. I hate no lynch days.
If I survive another night I'll have a theory on the fourth scum member and Seath.
If I die? I say go after my list+Seath.
Thanks. Wanted to make sure you said that before the day ends, in case you die.
There's currently five votes on OA, two on Seath, and two on Splinter. Nine out of 12 votes total I believe.
Because I wanted to bring up the situation we were in. That was in my mind so I wanted to talk about that. The situation seemed rather important to me and it was something that had not been brought up yet.
#1838 "If Seath is a god and we can't lynch him today, who do we lynch tomorrow?"
#1840 "What are we at now, 2 Splinter, 4 OA, 1 Seath?"
#1846 Dragonz votes Seath
#1847 your post.
Not brought up? The hell are you talking about? You literally chimed mere minutes after all these posts...

YAAAAAAAAWN. The numbers, do you know them. When dragonz voted, no additional candidate could obtain majority. THAT was the hell I was talking about.
Seven votes cast, x has 4, five votes remain. New candidates are possible.
Eight votes cast, x has 4, four votes remain. New candidates are not possible.
Happy?
No, I'm not. It was literally the focus of the discussion. Which goes back to my original point that all you did was state the obvious and ask a rhetorical question while avoiding adding any actual discussion in.

For once I agree with you, Dragonz ended the conversation for the day. I did put the nail in the coffin though.

So that's how death felt like. Painful. Scorching. Thought-numbing. Maybe not all death felt like this. Those who were found dead in the morning glided to the other side in their sleep not even knowing they were dead until their soul awoke. Those two who were drowned surely didn't feel the burning lick of the flames that caused OceanicAir's skin to transform into an ugly mess of bubbles. Those who were eaten by the all-knowing spider maybe even learned everything there was to learn or ever will be to learn about the world and all the other worlds there were or were not instead of unimaginable pain filling the entirety of their mind. Those lucky few.
Burning in the holy flames of the eternal fire in Komena's temple wasn't a particular fast death either. OceanicAir's screams full of pain so intense their listeners couldn't fully grasp it, his vaporizing tears and sweat, witnesses of a heat noone ever should have to endure and the almost mockingly joyful crackle of the fire as it slowly but steadily consumed him were heard for almost 20 minutes before at first the screams, then the hiss of vaporizing liquid and finally the unusual loud sounds of the fire slowly silenced, faded away, abandoned this world, maybe following the soul that just got released into the afterworld. Or just gone forever. Who could say for sure?
OceanicAir has been lynched

Welcome!
The others always look down on you for not having some shiny special ability. But you have the power! You can vote! Did you ever think about how awesome that is? The simple people (like you) can influence what happens on the great scale! How can they still laugh at you? You kind of invented Democracy after all, right?
You are an Ordinary Villager.
You are aligned with the Followers of Komena (That's Town).
You win when all Followers of Peripseros are dead.

CHAPTER V
"Oh Peripseros, Bringer of Decay, Patron of Despair and Embodiment of the All Swallowing Sea, hear our prayers! Hear our chants! Enlighten us with your presence!" The words' echoed from the smooth surface of the cave's walls, desperately searching their way to the surface but finding only bleak stone which violently pushed them back into the large room, damning them to another one or two reflections before they finally vanished. But while the words, muddled and blurred by their own echo, still had some structure, the sounds that were to follow as the figures in the cave started moving their bodies in old dances and now producing more undefinable sounds than words just swelled into one loud muttering noise.
The hard shadows of their sometimes silk-like sometimes jerking bodies cast by the four torches lit in the middle of the room danced around the caves, creating absurd and at first glance seemingly impossible patterns on the walls, always moving, always changing, never stopping. After almost 10 minutes of relentless dancing and trance-inducing chanting they gathered again around the middle of the cave where a human, still alive but barely breathing, had its arms bound around a wooden pole, its eyes wide open in an expression of pure terror.
Today's dictates are Foresight and Indecisiveness.
During the first half of this day phase, or until majority is reached (whichever comes first), players may send me a PM with the command "Bet: <Player>". All players that correctly bet on the lynched player will receive a secret reward (The rewards vary depending on your alignment)
At the beginning of this day phase votes equal to the number of players alive will be cast at random. The majority this day phase is increased by the highest number of votes on a single person.
