Also, there are seven of us left, so it takes four votes to hammer. Joker's at L-1.

I guess I'll go with the consenses and
Vote: Joker
Sorry I don't contribute more I do pay attention I just don't know what to say I am a bit rusty at playing forum mafia games. I'm a bit afraid to voice my opinion on others as I'm afraid people would jump on me if I accuse them you know what I mean.

I don't feel that Joker is scum. Voting for him just seems like a "let's get the day over with" route. I'm sorry.

Well, let's hope this doesn't go bad for me. I already messed up by pushing for Lodi to get replaced. Vote: JokerIf you recall, I did have that whack theory on day one. Time to see if my thought pays off.

Final Counting of the VotesJoker(5 nominations-@irontyger, Jonathan Michaels, Skull0mancer , Big Bad Brad, @dante ) jagilki(1 nomination-Joker)Having received 5 ballots, Joker has been eliminated.---------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 April 1888Following the grisly discovery of what the papers are dubbing the "Pinchin Street Torso," another frantic meeting of the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee has gone underway. A thunderous din roars throughout the room, making it difficult to make out what anyone is saying. Finally, a lone voice shouts above all others "WE MUST COME TO ORDER!" The crowd finally settles down and this unknown man assumes charge of the proceedings. "Now," he says, "Does anyone have any substantial leads that may lead us to discovering the identity of the Ripper?" "Let's ask Catherine Tabram! She walks Pinchin Street looking for a good time! Surely she knows what happened!" a random person shouts. "I know nothing!" retorts Catherine, "I was...I was alone last night! Business hasn't really been good lately." "Lies!" shouts her faceless accuser, "I've seen you threaten men who refuse payment for your much maligned services. I think you've gone mad. Let's get her!" Having learned absolutely nothing from their last fit of mob mentality, the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee takes it upon themselves to string up and hang Catherine Tabram, a poor innocent woman. The Ripper has eluded the town once again. Dead: Joker - Catherine Tabram, Vanilla TownieIt is now NIGHT PHASE. There is to be no posting in the thread until Wednesday, November 28 at 5 PM Pacific time.

6 April 1888
It is nearing midnight and a lone woman is walking down Hanbury Street. Despite the headlines about the one they dub "The Ripper," this young woman still must try and make ends meet by selling herself to any takers. She sees a lone figure standing by a lamppost, muttering to no one in particular. The woman approaches trepidatiously.
"Excuse me, hon. Looking for some company tonight?" she asks.
"How much?" the shade replies.
"Ten shillings for an encounter of your choice."
"I'm afraid I can't afford that much. Any chance you can go any lower?"
"Well, I suppose I could cut my rate in half just this once."
The shadowy figure produces a butcher's blade. "How about I simply cut YOU IN HALF?"
The poor woman shrieks loudly, catching the attention of a man about 100 yards away. The man cries out, "You there! Stop this instant!"
The man rushes the figure, blade held high by the evil one. The good Samaritan tackles the assailant and a scuffle ensues. A cry of pain and splash of blood and the cur takes flight. The woman, frightened she may be, advances upon her savior and kneels next to him.
"Thank heavens you were here. Oh my, you're bleeding, sir! I'll fetch help at once."
"No matter," the man replies. "'Tis but a scratch. I'll be ok."
The rest of the night proves uneventful as Whitechapel awakes to the start of a brand new day...It is now Day 4. Deadline is Friday, the 7th of December at 4 PM PST.
Still alive:
jagilki @irontyger Big Bad Brad Skull0mancer @dante Jonathan Michaels
With 6 alive it will require 4 nominations to constitute an elimination.

Big Bad BradWhere do you suggest we initiate our investigation on this most crucial day? Here is my read of each player left Still alive: jagilki - Not sure Black Tyger Squadron - I do believe you are the doctor since you revealed that yesterday that put a bullseye on your back so I can see Mafia trying to take you out. The Brad - I'm town skull0mancer - I'm believing he is town as well he made some good posts and Gus wanted him lynched day 2 so my money is on him being town. Old School Daime - I do believe him town as Gus targeted him pretty hard day 1. jonaThaN michAels Is Hiring - Not sure So all in all my gut is telling me either Jonathan or Jagilki is mafia. I think one is town and one is scum. That's just my two cents.

Myself, dear sir, Doctors can't protect themselves. Who did you really protect last night?

Don't...don't link me to that awful place. Please. I have nothing but bad memories of my time on Mafiascum. Based on my personal Mafia experience (40-ish games or so?), self-healing Doctors are exceptionally rare -- and for good reason. If you're a Town Doctor and you can protect yourself, then why on Earth would you ever protect someone else? What motivation would you possibly have to extend that protection to another player? You're Town. You know you're Town, but if you protect someone else, then you're protecting someone that you only think is Town. Why protect someone that you think is Town when you can protect someone that you know is Town instead? And since you're protecting yourself, that means you're no longer a Doctor; you're functionally a Bulletproof Townie since you have kill immunity every night. You are no longer the role that you were assigned. From a game design standpoint, a self-healing Doctor is just a really, really bad idea unless they're given some kind of role-related incentive to protect other people. I'm assuming you possess no such incentive or else you would have mentioned it by now. Additionally, everything I said in this post still holds true. The only reason I backed off is because you claimed Doctor and I felt guilty that my inquisitiveness was going to result in the death of our Doctor on Night 3. But, well, here you are, and you're saying that you protected yourself, and I can't help but be skeptical about that. Plus, if you really are Scum, this is a fantastic fake-claim since it explains why the Mafia team isn't ganking you immediately. Nobody died? Well, it's probably because the self-protecting Doctor protected himself, of course. Scum-Tyger could have easily submitted a no-kill last night to substantiate this theory and make the act more convincing. The modkill on lodirulz already put Town down by one, so a no-kill in this scenario wouldn't be a huge sacrifice to make. Like, you see where I'm coming from, don't you? Do you understand why I'm skeptical? Let me ask you this, then. You said that you protected Bear Meat on Night 1 and me on Night 2, correct? Why did you choose to protect those two targets? If you're Town, why didn't you just protect yourself from the beginning, knowing that you'd be protecting confirmed Town (in your eyes)? Why did you feel that we were better targets?

We likely only have one or two game days remaining, so I think now might actually be a good time to mass-claim. If nothing else, it will help us in figuring out whether Tyger's claim is legit or not. Maybe there's some other role out there that could have blocked the Night 3 kill? We don't know yet. The Brad claimed to be Vanilla. Black Tyger Squadron claimed to be a Doctor who protected Bear Meat on Night 1, me on Night 2, and himself on Night 3. I am also Vanilla. Daime, Johnathan, jagilki, whatcha got for us?

I'm not going to say what role I have. All I'll say, and it's 100% true. I could only use my power once. I used it and nothing came of it in the thread or to me through PM.
I'm not mafia. I'm town. Now I have no special ability.
Right now I'm torn. While there are cases of Docs who can protect themselves, I just don't like it. Also, and this is something that can be up to game moderator preference on how much the write up reflects the night actions, but that didn't read like one protecting themselves. Reads more like a Bodyguard or some such.
Although I hope I'm wrong, because if that's the case, the bodyguard usually dies later right?

If my Doctor claim is a ruse, my action to lynch the blackguard Gus Richlen would be madness. That is, it would be topsy-turvy, as if we trapised through the Looking-Glass. Godfather would elude Town through his cunning shroud, thwarting the Constable in his Rounds and I would make a more effective sacrifice to Gentlemen Gallows. Our actions would be better reversed.

All I know for sure is that I’m sadly vanilla.
I honestly don’t know what to make of this whole Tyger doctor business.
It could well be that Tyger is crafting an elaborate ruse.
It could also be that Skull is going way out on a limb to try and frame him.
But it’s also very likely neither one of those things is true.
It’s even possible that they’re both true and this is an even more elaborate plan between two mafia members plotting to sacrifice one to protect the other and oh no I’ve gone cross eyed.
Brad, Diane, we need you guys, what’s your read on them, and the rest of us for that matter.
