Can someone enlighten me on the Bounties, please. I assume that if someone kills Tommy, they get 15 gold (from Ben?)

How does Jon's work? I assume someone gets gold by killing him, but how how is there a bounty on his head in the first place?
The only one who can claim bounties is Zell, the Assassin.

If he completes a bounty, the gold goes to him.

Jon had a cursed bounty put on him from the result of some quest he did. The 10 gold is just paid by... Satan? No idea.

@Jon Use it to stop Zell from targeting you tonight.
Well shit... ok then...

It was one of my quests in the necropolis. I met a procession that if I followed them, I would be protected from being targeted at all that night, but next day my name goes on the bounty board.

I hit that two days in a row and tried for a third today lol.

OK well since none of you want to believe that I am the thief after checking LITERALLY every box everyone complains about each game, I accept my fate and will show you all the dumb shit I stole from people. Not being a passenger. Not being evasive. Directly answering all of you. Role claiming! Having things to show for it. Publicly trading with other town people. List goes on and on. And none of y'all reacted or replied to anything I've said today. You all made up your minds already - all good. No worries. We would honestly be winning if we killed an acolyte today. But I am too far back now to try and defy any sort of conviction. I got nothin' but my words. Whatever the swamp lady told Ben is probably true but twisted in a way to make anyone look somewhat guilty or innocent. I think a lot of the quests are that way.

Anyway, here's all the shit I stole every day. I even rolled for better luck on one of my quests which essentially locked me in for getting something every attempt.

I also picked up a mirror shield from someone at one point.

Anywho, that's it. I'm either being completely honest or I'm full of shit. It's up to y'all to decide.

You spelled stabbing wrong.
Just to clarify, I knew that it wasn't spelled right, but wanted it to fit with the song so spelled it wrong for comical effect. I'm not a dumbass, I swear (sorry Local!)

So @Ants! - Because Zell CHOSE not to kill last night, he doesn't get to pick his target tonight because there were available bounties, right?
I read it that if there is any bounty on the board, he has to pick one of them. If there were no bounties 2 nights in a row, he gets to pick his own target.

Since there is a bounty for you up but he just can't act on it, I assume he does not get to target his own person.

Yeah, last night doesn't count because he had at least one bounty he could have acted on. He's allowed to kill whoever if there's no work available two nights in a row.

Night falls. Suspicion rises. And Jon — sweaty-palmed and wide-eyed — crouches behind a rain barrel with a glittery pink vial in hand.


He mutters, "This is so dumb," for the fifth time.


Still, he uncorks the Love Potion. The scent hits him immediately: rose petals, regret, and what might be bubblegum.


He glances around to make sure no one's watching, then leans close and whispers into the bottle:



The name echoes louder than it should. The potion glows briefly — mockingly — and grows warm in his grip, like it heard him.


Jon winces. "God, he's gonna think I like him."


With a deep breath and a final grimace, he downs the potion.


Somewhere out there, Zell, assassin and unbothered brooding murder man, suddenly feels a strange… fondness? No. Not fondness. Just… an inability to stab Jon right now.


Jon sits back, swishing his mouth and muttering:


"Yep. Definitely tastes like desperation and hetero panic."

But for now, at least,
he's safe.
Emotionally confused, but safe.

To be fair, right now it's a numbers game.

We KNOW FR is good.
We KNOW Zell is the Assassin.

That means with two acolytes left, two among you, me, Ben and Jawneh are the baddies.

From MY perspective, I know I'm not a baddie this game. To try and convince the town, I hinted very early on as to my role, outed Zell which an acolyte wouldn't likely do, killed a wight that was about to give the acolytes another kill which they wouldn't do and essentially telegraphed my every move.. It's up to them to believe it or not.

Ben doesn't usually play the way he is when he's bad and like has been said, wouldn't have wasted a kill item on Local if he knew he was dying at the end of the day phase anyway. It also killed the mimic, which is helpful in the long run. He could still be bad, but I'm saying it from my perspective.

I've seen what you've done and Jawneh has been Jawneh. Frankly the fact he's alive on day 4 is enough proof he's bad lol.

So, I'm sorry, it's just the numbers game at this point. Nothing personal.

Apparently canadaguy dropped this stone fragment when he died. I'm told it does nothing, but if anyone else got them we can combine them to let Ants do his story thing.

Had to wait for the perfect moment.

@Ants! I'll use my ruby star talisman now. Since the stone puzzle is incomplete, that means anyone holding a stone fragment dies.

Thank you for the reveal, chaps. GG.

This would be incredibly dumb after being explicitly told that they do nothing and are only for story reasons...

Yeah, that isn't even an item that exists in the rules, so I'm assuming it's more Tommy "sparkle titted warble bird" bullshit or whatever.
