So, Dracula was targeted during the night by the Red King. That's a curious development.

Assuming you're telling the truth, Knights should definitely cleanse your taint tonight. Good news about the Erlking being dead though, one less scum!

 

It's Lindquist.

Get your role right.

If it even is your true role, that is.

What? How did you deduce that?

But I guess a fakeclaim like that would be pretty easy to prove wrong. If the Erlking hasn't tainted anyone today either, then 99% he was Evan Tide.

Vote worst day 1 ever: Evan Tide

 

Derp, I totally forgot that Schro's role block was the product of the taint, not Madeline's role block. That means that it's possible the Red King was role blocked, not Dracula being targeted, though it's still possible that Dracula was targeted by the Red King.

 

This, plus he could have targeted a night-protected scum or (less likely) the Merlin.

 

Yeah, you're right. I just automatically went to Dracula since I expected a Red King kill and he was the first to come to mind about surviving one. Either way though, it's most likely scum targeting scum, so that brings an interesting twist to it all.

Also, Smile's post made me look back to go through the rules again, hence why I jumped towards Dracula being targeted immediately...

 

Alright, if we want to be through:

1)He was roleblocked.
2)He targeted night-protected scum/town.
3)His target was swapped by the Merlin's power with night-protected scum/town.
4)His target was protected by Forthill.
5)His target was Dracula and he's been brought back to life.
6)His target was Susan and now she's a vampire.

Smile, a couple of questions: is Susan's transformation public by any chance? Can susan use her whoring power after she's been turned?

 

If Susan dies at night by the Red/White/Black Court, she will appear to everyone else like anyone with night immunity that is not killed. Nothing will show up.

She can still use her whoring powers as well.

 

None taken, Jon.
I'm not fake claiming, though. I was the first to bring up the possibility of the Erlking's death day 2 for a reason, I already knew he was dead but didn't want to make it obvious.

 

You could be Lartessa, instead.

You got the result of Morty's check on night 1 (he's obviously the target any Lartessa worth a damn would copy), which is Evan as the Erlking (that much must be true). You figure that the real Mortimer wouldn't want to roleclaim so soon, not even to counter your bullshit, so you try to convince us you're town and useful, so that the Knights purify you (the taint in this scenario is true) and possibly Forthill wastes his protection on you.

You also claim to have survived a night kill last night. Tessariel has one night kill immunity. Plus, Forthill can only act once every other night. I doubt he didn't use his power on night 1, although it's possible. Even then, why would he use it on you? You were already roleblocked and possibly ready to die? Why would the Red King target you?

Lastly, you were among those who defended Sacrifice, now a known Denarian.

This would be proven if someone counterclaimed Mortimer but I'm not sure it's a great idea. Plus, I might have overlooked something that can shoot this theory in the head.

Does it make sense?

*proven should be more or less proven.

 

Not exactly true. Forthill can use his power nightly except he cannot use it more than twice in a row. So it can go (Power, Power, Break, Power, Power)

 

Right, I got that wrong. Still, it doesn't make much sense for him to protect Schrodinger when he was already roleblocked. What stupid Red King would have ever targeted him?

 

If I was Lartessa, why would I have gotten a coin?

 

That's a lie? I don't know, but again, why would the Denarians offer their coin to you? Pretty much the same reasoning for the Red King applies to them as well.

I must have missed something HUGE you said or did if Forthill, the Red King and the Denarians all targeted you on night 2, and this is after Lara targeted you on night 1.

---------- Post automerged at 05:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 AM ----------

Why the hell would you have all this scum attention?

 

I'm not good enough at this game to look for anything like that or any reasoning behind it. All I know is that I'm Mortimer, I got Lara-tainted night one, denarian-tainted night two, and saved from death night two.
Your reasoning seems solid, though. I can't find any way to dispute it. I either get cleansed tonight, or I die. That's all I can say, and hope I get cleansed.

---------- Post automerged at 23:23 ---------- Previous post was at 23:23 ----------

I have no idea.
Why would I pretend to have it?

 

So, interesting developments.

on Schrodinger: I think both scenarios are fairly likely. For the record, Forthill's ability can be used "no more than two nights in a row," so even if he used it on Night 1, he could use it again on Night 2. So he at least had the ability to protect someone guaranteed. The question remains though - why protect (or target) Schrodinger? Unless he gets purified, he's going to die the next night, so there's little point in either until he's lived through that. Moreover, why would the Denarians target him?, for the same reasons as above. In all likelihood, it would turn out to be a waste of a coin.

On the other hand, he could have been targeted by the Reds and the Denarians in anticipation that the Knights would clear him of his seduction, and it was just lucky chance that Forthill chose to protect him. And I do agree that it seems like an unlikely set of events to just make up. It does seem that he's at least telling the truth about the Erlking, since no one has stepped forward to say they've been tainted by the Hunt.

Big_Z and Stojil: are your speculations about the Red King's target based on the idea that Schrodinger is lying? Because the only other possible kill last night was the Mavra kill, and I doubt that she'd use her one bullet this early, and on Schrodinger of all people. Unless you think he's lying about being attacked at all?

 

I thought of a possible scenario but I'm not sure if everything checks.

Merlin swaps Schro with target x. Forthill protects target x but now gets swapped to Schro. Red King and Denarian both intended to hit target x, now get swapped to Schro. Red King's kill is protected via Forthill but the Denarian taint goes through.

That does seem like one convoluted sequence to occur however...

 

Damn, ninja'd by...everyone.

I think you meant Purified. Unless you're actually a Denarian and just slipped up? Cleansing is what the Knights do to Denarians and Fae.

 

@Big Z

Not possible, I think. The Merlin's power acts before both.

 

and ninja'd again. Fuck, I'm bad at this auto-merging stuff.
