Oof. Didn't really do much this time around. Still, I bid good luck to the rest of the town.

If I'm lucky, I'll be with the Dark Order.
Due to my own luck, I'll end up as a lackey for Miro.

And human caravan has sloth bears for trade. Takes a year to become adults, about the same size as beak dogs. Unlike other bears, can't be trained for war or hunting. 2x value compared to common meats and parts. Traded them since I'm giving away so much anyway. Might need to train another butcher to keep up with all the animal products I'm producing lately.

Animals I'm breeding, or have a breeding pair so far.
Giant peregrine falcons. Breeding. One of the two egg-laying animals I'm breeding so far. Tamed/trained birds no longer fly, so for most part breeding them for meat and parts. Nothing really special about them, exists as feed for my dwarves.
Beak dogs. Breeding. Second egg laying animals I'm using for breeding. Got them tame; they were what my military got when pillaging a goblin fort. Just a tiny bit smaller than the giant falcons, but meat and parts are twice the value, plus they lay more eggs than the falcons. Falcons max amount is 5, beak dogs is 10. Like the falcons, mostly use them for meat and parts. Goblins use them as mounts or attack animals during sieges, but for some reason dwarves can't train them for war. Still, might be able to use them in a pinch.
Giant jaguars. Caught from the wild like the falcons. Two females and one male. Not egg laying, so females gotta get pregnant and they birth less than egg layers. Biggest animals I got in the fort, and they can be trained for war or hunting. Due to that, breeding the wild ones which are trained, and when the cubs are born eventually they can be tamed. 3 years before the cubs become adults. Once the tame cubs are adults, the wild acquired ones will meet with the butcher, as tame ones will give birth to tame cubs. Jaguars are aggressive, even without war training they'll attack hostiles to the fort. One tore a troll apart. While the jaguar was wounded quite badly, being able to rip apart a troll makes them a good fit to have a squad of them.
Giant anaconda. Caught in wild. Despite being a snake, they give live birth. Largest snake in-game... though oddly even the giant falcon is bigger than them. I can breed them, but not worth the effort. Again, not egg-laying, so it doesn't produce enough young. And the young as born as adults, so unless I get tame ones from caravans breeding many young will be a constant source of work for my animal trainer. Not as big as the giant falcon, so setting them up to be bred won't give as much. To top it off, for them to reach full size takes 10-20 years... and their lifespan is 10-20 years, so they'll really only be big near the end of their life span.
Tigers. Got a breeding pair from elven caravans. Tigers look cooler than jaguars, but I got giant jaguars. More or less the same as the giant jaguars; high value, trainable for war and hunting... but not giant. Breeding them to act as a smaller force to my giant jaguars might prove decent, or at the very least butchering the extra tigers I breed will spice up the meat, leather, and bone carving industry. Still unsure.
Alligators. Elf caravan. It's a big alligator. Their meat and parts sell three times more than common meat - same as the giant jaguar and regular sized tiger. Can't be war trained... but they can be aggressive enough to serve as defense. Unlike the tiger and jaguar, they can give birth to far more than them. Minimum 10 eggs, max 30. They become adults at 1 year, so it's very easy to set up for breeding.
...just mentioning this now, but citizens and animals can be gay or asexual. You gotta hope for the fact that both male and female are heterosexual if you want them to breed. Sometimes you have to hope that if you only have one of each gender they breed or they'll just sit around.
Saltwater crocodile. Elf caravan again... though I embarked on an area that's supposed to have them and maybe even giant ones. Bigger and meaner than alligators. Buffer than the gators. What makes me hesitant to use the alligators. About one and a half larger than alligators once they're adults. Alligator females produce 10-30 eggs, saltwater crocs produce 20 to freaking 70. However, alligator becomes adult and big at 1 year, crocs need 3. In general, breeding both is viable, but I think I'll need 1 or 2 more trainers.
Cats. Brought by migrants. Eh. Cats help vermin down which can make dwarves happy. As cats are, they're tamed but can't be anything more than that. Let the ones breed and cull if it gets too much before more dwarves decide to be adopted by the cats.
Sheep. One migrant brought a male, another brought a female. Only source of fort-made wool. Carnivorous animals are easier to keep, as herbivores require a pasture above ground to survive. Just a small source of meat, wool, and milk to be made into cheese.
Giant lizards. Caught. Not that big, and live birthers. Butcher immediately.
Giant monarch butterfly. Quite big, but with a lifespan of 1 year and not an egg layer. Butcher immediately.
Hippos. Caravan. Big even if they're not giant. Unlike the real world, they're not as aggressive. Can't be trained for war, five years for young to become adults.
Not giant leopards. Why do I need them? I got giant ones!
Rabbit. Once had a breeding pair, brought by migrants. Once during a werehorse attack, a single rabbit fought amazingly long enough against the werebeast to give time before the militia tore apart the invader. Gave it a golden coffin to rest on for its service.

Taking a risk. I'll be the fourth one.
Vote: Zack Morris I always liked Slater more, in the end.
Yes, I used my role on him, but results in night 1 came out as a blank. I'll say this much. Two out of the three of the ones who voted before feel more suspicious. Ideally, should look into them now, but if Zack gets lynched and depending on the results, they should come forward later to defend themselves I feel.

About 20 bucks, a little less than that, and only if it's a good buffet. Less than 10 for myself if not a buffet.
Also ate one of the cheapest Michelin star meals before, which was soy chicken.

And it's over. Very bittersweet. The weeks going forward have definitely lessened the bitter, but still a bit of a bummer nonetheless.
Extra bitter is yesterday with Nijisanji's Lulu also retiring. Unfortunately, she retired because of apparently constant cases of stalking and harassment and such.

Got my second dose few days ago.
Was lucky. As I am a PWD, like the seniors I more or less got prioritized in line, and time I spent on vaccination area was barely an hour long including the wait period.
On the other hand, sibling wasn't as lucky. It was a different area that we're not familiar with, so I volunteered to accompany sibling and wait for them. To balance out the ease of me getting the vaccine, I ended up waiting close to six hours in the heat.

A few more goblin attacks. So far, less invaders than they were before.
Second and third militia is getting better, though a few times when executing the prisoners some of them got injured. No parts lopped off at least, and to be fair to the militia while the prisoners were stripped of all armor and weapons I released them 50 at a time against 12. Some of them were trolls and had big tusks that could do some damage.

Well, unsure how to insert my way into this convo right now...
Used my role, and it came out as a blank, as I've said. And I used my role on Zack Morris. On the other hand, no one was killed last night.

So much resources, to the point where I'm just giving away so much free stuff to caravans.
Food pretty much accumulates at this point. Considering that I'm breeding a number of creatures and those give birth to several children, meat is often on the menu. You got the meat, various organs, fat which can be made into tallow. Tallow can be used for cooking, but it's also used to make soap which is needed for hospitals and avoiding infections. Citizens sometimes bathe, and using soap makes them happy.
As they are, food is low value, but with a kitchen and a cook, food items can be combined together which increases their value. Lots of value with the highest levels of cooking skill. Even with three cooks, meat production is going faster than the dwarves could cook.
There's also leather. Butchered animals produce one piece of skin which is made into leather. Not a whole lot as even giant creatures would produce only one skin which turns into one leather, so for most part I just use the leather into making human-sized clothing, while dwarves and elves get to wear cloth made from plant fibers.
Speaking of plants, all farming is pretty much shut down. Some plants and fruits can be eaten as is, or brewed, or used to make plant fiber cloth. Also papermaking. So much plants that I don't need to farm more for a good long while. Don't need to brew either... essentially the farmers are doing something else while the farm fields just sit their without any plants. Still far too many plant fiber crops. Clothier is still making clothes nonstop and there's still too much plant fiber. Several bins of unused plant cloth is still waiting to be made into clothing.
Fish is also in abundance. Single dwarf fishes, and brings in a big amount each year. As is, caught fish can only be eaten if cooked alongside other ingredients. With a dwarf tasked to clean fish, they can be eaten as is without cooking. Some fish creatures, like mussels, also produce shells that can be used. A dwarf with bone carving can craft shells into little trinkets to sell. Low value stuff, but it all adds up in the end. And mussels are the main fish caught, and there's nearly a thousand shells to be made into trinkets.
Also, animals also produce bones when butchered. Sometimes hooves, and horns, and if animal is big enough ivory/teeth. All stuff that a bone carver can make into crafts.
At this point, there's no need to sell off weapons for trade. All the steel can be made into stuff for the fort instead of using them for trade.

I do feel like I should come out and say what exactly my role is. So far, you've been the one who's really pressing me to come out and say it.
Like, as much as you can be an asset to town, you're still one person. You could be mafia. I'd rather not say how my role works unless there's a bit more than one person asking for it.

Apologies for not talking. Had to accompany someone to their vaccination, and I really underestimated how long it took. Close to six hours in the car, on a rather hot day, when I hoped I had a day ahead of me relaxing.
Anyways, night phase, and I drew a blank. I can cast a ball of fire (not a big one), or make things sparkle or just spark a tiny bit, but I ain't no miracle worker. As far as I can tell, no one tried to mess with what I did, but doesn't mean that who I aimed for is in the clear.
Aside from that, I have to bemusedly note that Zack Morris did almost the same thing I did on a previous life. Host didn't notice vote, and Zack had to point it out to make it clear he was participating...

Out of spite, Produceman for voting me... but I'm above such things. Even though I'm totally not above such things. *kof*
I'd say the ones hanging back the most, I suppose without a clear reason for it would be suspect. I'm on the spotlight, so if I were to guess some of the mafia members would be content to hang out and hope that I dig a hole for me to fall in, though at the same time there may be one of the more vocal ones being mafia putting pressure on me.
Unfortunately, we're really running out of time, and honestly I do have to go to bed soon as 6 hours from now at the least I gotta head out with parent to get our second dose of vaccine.
Silly as it sounds, but considering the theme, I'll settle for rolling the dice roller I found on google. Rolled a d8 dice, 9 of us but putting me in would be silly since otherwise I'd vote for myself... based on page 1 on the sign ups list... rolled a 6. Skipping me, that comes out as Produceman.
Vote: Produceman
Frankly, I don't think that it would be him, since he got to be mafia last game. But the dice is the dice. If it were him, my reasoning would be his constant pressure on me, him defending you, and maybe his fluff posts being a bit too self depreciative of himself to make him look harmless.

Yet another goblin invasion force.
Good thing that on the previous attack I made sure to halt pretty much all production to have citizens haul the cages back and make several of them temporary mechanics to reload the cages.
The enemy screen is getting a bit full. Gotta thin out the herd with my militia.

So I kinda forgot to do a noble's request to make a damn buckler and for some reason the blame was put upon the very captain of the guard. Whoops.
In any case, embarked on the area of the fort for the possibility of giant saltwater crocodiles. So far none has arrived in the biome, but got a consolation prize. Elves finally did something nice and got me two non-giant saltwater crocs. They ain't giant, so not as effective as security, but still a saltwater croc that can breed. A female can lay up to 20-70 eggs, and saltwater crocs can be trained for war. Giant or normal sized. Takes three years for a croc to reach adult age to be trained, so bit of an investment, but through egg amount they're pretty much the best if you want lots of animals.
Feeling like I invest 6 years for two generations of tame crocs. War train them, and unleash them on a small room along with all the goblin, troll, and beak dog prisoners I got so far. Naked prisoners with no weapons, but the crocs are naked as well. Let them fight. Either the invaders overcome and I kill them, or the crocs get names for their feats and I keep some of them for breeding. As nature intended.
