Personally I'm still betting that we end up with a Werewolf serial killer, because everyone knows vampires and werewolves always end up fighting. Trashy teen romance novels say so, after all, and they're never wrong... right?
Suggests player is either not teal or is teal sowing misinfo.
Red points at mafia activity, yellow points at cult activity.
[Drained of Blood] seems to be the nightkill, and Mindless Thrall seems to be the culting.
See above.

[x] Lynch TheMaskedReader
Honestly. I would prefer a nanimani lynch over them, just looking through the thread. Their arguments appear to have more substance than they actually do, which is never a good sign; it's the opposite of the balance town wants to strike, or at least off orthagonal to it. However, I also don't like TMR's posting overly. Particularly their reads list is somewhat useless; not abnormal for day one reads, no, but still not enough to make me want to save them.
As much as I hate doing this, I'm going to claim: I am a tracker. It's not a great power role, honestly, so it's not too big adeal to have to claim, I suppose, but It's somewhat unfortunate. I'm a quiet tracker, as seems to be the usual for SV, and I am a member of the king's Court.
QTesseract claims.
@TheMaskedReader has been lynched and was
Roasted Alive by the Court. They were
Cain, Crown Prince
We learn the crown prince died.
@Yun has been
[Pierced by Holy Magics], they were
Relgar, King of Xalistra
We learn the king died.
Unfortunately, we don't have
any power claims from them, making it less clear what town had and thus what claims are more likely to be faked.
@ComiTurtle has had their
[Heart Stabbed and Throat Slit], they were
Dvalinn, Ambassador of Lavisgran
Similarly for this ambassador character.
I caught a power role last night, but not either one of the killers so not going to out them unless I have to or I get their permission.
I'm the royal advisor, name of Melbor.
QTesseract's name claim.
As the First Princess and the game's watcher, I can say he visited Nictis.
Nani's claim.
Alright, I am going to claim so you vets can sort things out with this information.
I am General Tanabris of the 1st File and I have two powers/abilities or whatever you call them. The first ability to intercept an action meant for my troops (aka lightning rod). The second is a heirloom that is passed down to each General of the 1st File that protects me from vampires and other evil creatures when I am protecting my troops (aka immunity to vampire actions that I redirect to me with my lightning rod).
I used my lightning rod on Nictis last night to protect him from being culted if he wasn't already part of the cult. I thought I visited him, but re-reading the fluff made me realise that I hadn't. I used my lightning rod on him when we were heading back to our rooms and making it so that anyone visiting Nictis would visit me instead. I have checked with Cyricubed and any watching AND tracking actions would be redirected towards me so if QT tracked Nictis and Nami watched Nictis, then they would have both ended up watching me instead from what Cyricubed told me when I inquired further about how my lightning rod power worked.
However, no one visited me last night or at least if they did, I didn't detect them doing so. That is why I know that Nictis wasn't culted during the night because if he had been targeted by that action, it would have been redirected to me so I would have been culted if it wasn't for my second ability protecting from vampires from actions that I redirect to myself. I cannot say what Nictis did last night or if they are already culted, but they did not get culted last night.
My initial theory was that I lightning rod-ed Nictis and QT detected me doing so due to being re-directed. Under that assumption, QT and I being the ones who visited Nictis with QT detecting me with their ability and me figuring out it was QT from their posts in the thread.
Right now, I have no clue what happened so I am lying my cards out on the table to avoid town killing town from me concealing potentially important information.
Oshha's rather dramatic claim.
The same thing I do every night, Pinky.
Also holy shit I got on a plane and come back to this clusterfuck. Gonna need a bit to analyze everything.
Possible low key power claim.
I've told you twice why I don't/didn't have time for that (I'm going home now) and I really don't think putting anyone at -1 is a good idea.
I don't actually trust you atm but I don't see any way I'm not dying (especially as I do not think DG is scum right now, though I obviously still haven't had time to check) so I might as well claim.
I am Natalia, Duchess of Boktor. I'm constantly invited to the court because I rule one of the major duchies. I'm old and my only skill is debating (i.e. I'm vanilla Town).
Absum's claim, later proven town. By death. That means we had at least one actual vanilla, and I would bet on at least two.
@DimensionalGuy has been found with their
[Heart Stabbed and Throat Slit]. They were
Laine, Queen of Xalistra and quite obviously a
Vampire
The Queen was a Vampire.
This is important, as it means our remaining royal claim (and indeed any future ones) are not above suspicion
No, I get that part of your argument? I'm just confused as to why I would kill DG of all people when I got a wagon started on him the previous day, I have been notably suspicious of him, and even after I kill him as SK I note my suspicions of him? What is even the point of doing that, from your perspective?
Also will be interested in your thoughts on me and 1K after you're done with that, since this is looking like it might be a 1v1 today, though it's still early.
My thoughts are complicated. I didn't take proper notes since I was at first observing casually and in my latest pass looking for claims to compile.
Let's see what we have so far.
Grabbing the player list...
1.
@ComiTurtle has had their
[Heart Stabbed and Throat Slit] Night 1, they were
Dvalinn, Ambassador of Lavisgran, a member of the Court
Unknown role. At a guess, a second vanilla.
2.
@Nictis
No claim.
3.
@QTesseract
Claims
Royal Advisor Melbor, Tracker.
4.
@Happerry
No claim.
5.
@TheMaskedReader has been lynched and was
Roasted Alive by the Court Day 1. They were
Cain, Crown Prince, a member of the Court
Unknown role. Likely power role based on royalty, but could have been a vanilla, day end didn't reference known skills or whatever.
6.
@Nanimani
Claims First Princess, hasn't offered a name. Interestingly, a first princess could be taken to imply that there's a second. Note as per the Queen that royalty absolutely could be scum.
7.
@Dovah
No claim. Honestly reviewing during the night I had a strong suspicion of them that I realized was baseless, which was a fun bit of confusion. I will neither confirm nor deny the reason until I see need to claim.
8.
@Broken Base
No claim.
9.
@Absum has been lynched and was
Roasted Alive by the Court Day 2. They were
Natalia, Duchess of Boktor, a member of the Court
Claimed Vanilla, town death implies claim was honest.
10.
@Terrabrand
Me. Very important power role and/or vanilla and/or paranoid gun owner, let's go scum. But in seriousnesss I haven't settled whether I should claim or not so obviously I'm leaving this at 'no claim' for now.
11.
@DimensionalGuy has had their
[Heart Stabbed and Throat Slit] Night 2, They were
Laine, Queen of Xalistra, a Vampire
The Queen. Marked as a Vampire. This implies royalty isn't automatically town.
12.
@Yun has been
[Pierced by Holy Magics] Night 1, they were
Relgar, King of Xalistra, a member of the Court
The King. Strongly suspect power role of unknown nature, but no claim to judge it by.
13.
@Oshha
Claims
General Tanabris of the First File. Lightning Rod that blocks cult. Barring expectation of Watching, this is the safest, if not neccesarily best, cult target. I was
strongly reading them as scum, honestly, but that idea was thrown by 'there's strong evidence they were town at least until night 2'. We'd basically need, what, QT and Nani in on it? Not likely.
14.
@1KBestK
No claim.
Things to note; we have 9 alive, three of the living have claimed power roles. This leaves me knowing four of the living, assuming claims are honest.
Problems:
We have no claim from any of Broken Base, Nictis, 1k, Dovah, Happery, or myself.
Oshha is the only claim we can mostly trust, and we have no evidence he is still town- there's too much corroborating it.
Nanimani almost certainly has the power they claim,
but I strongly suspect they might be some kind of... radical vampire hunter or something out to kill their mother. More on that later.
QTesseract, as pointed out, could simply be claiming the results his cultees deliver to fake tracker. He's done more with less. I'd... have to double check the days to check if that's plausible given the lightning rod kerfluffle.
Even if he was town, could be culted.
And, critically, any given claim could be true and they still be scum- not only is this probably a cult game, but serial killers have often been allowed some form of multi night action and if part of a group they could have taken the action specified while their teammate killed.
With only one scum dead, we have likely between 2 (two man maf or surviving SK and unlucky original cultist if two man cult who never culted) and 4 (2 man maf and a culting+ original cultist surviving or serial killer and 2 cultings) scum left.
Even with 2 scum, we have 7 town alive, and myslynching means losing likely 2+ town before next cycle. With four scum, we could be in lylo or at least mylo already.
This means we may be at the stage of a mass claim. I'm unsure.
My unrefined gut reads;
Nictis: Lean Scum. He was in the big kerfluffle that at best proved he hadn't been culted and could leave him as maf/sk or original cult member.
Dovah: Null. I had lean town read before I noticed a thing but that thing was false but my review pushed him back to null, as I wasn't entirely sure why I'd been town reading him.
Terrabrand: Me. I would fully understand demanding I claim since, you know. you've got shit on me from swarmingu dropping and things are getting tight, but of course I would claim town.
Oshha: I honestly keep scum reading his first two days but he's got the closest to an airtight case in terms of powers.
QTesseract: Null read. Good enough to appear town even as scum, no mechanical info to strongly suggest he is town nor responsibility for scum death.
Happerry: Moderate scum. I keep not finding any evidence they're town, they keep slipping under my notice, I keep forgetting them, and don't have other evidence in their favor.
Nanimani: Moderate town. I can see a fluff case for 'prophetic abilities caused them to notice mother is a vampire' or some such making them go crazy SK, but I'm not
reading them as an SK by play so it seems... less likely.
1KBestK: Mostly null. Lean Not Teal, for reasons.
Broken Base: I was gutreading the start of day as suspect but honestly I don't have a strong read here.
I... kinda feel like the BB/1K conflict might be town/town.
Having put out my gut reads...
[X] Null
[X] Lynch Happerry
My strongest negative read certainly seems to demand at least forcing a claim barring further info coming out.
