Except, you're not pushing him or asking him anything; you haven't interacted with him at all in a long time. If it's "close," why aren't you pushing him and your other suspect(s) to see which one(s) are scum? If you're "not sure" that you're "satisfied" with his answer, why aren't you making sure or calling him out on it?

Furthermore, who is it close to? I haven't seen you accuse anyone else, at least in a long while, and yet now you've got someone who's close to your only stated suspicion all game? Who?
My other suspect is jc, but everyone seems to suspect him.

I don't really know where to go with bd's answer.

Billybob I realize I made a mistake about what you said before, talking about night actions is somewhat okay. Your not really going to get alot of info on them besides who that person would target if they were X. Sure it can lead to mroe discussion on why they would pick who, but its not a good source of finding information.

... Actually, no. Never let me say something about someone's posts without a citation again, because rereading this, I find it still doesn't answer the question I actually wanted answered!

Bdthemag: Why the hell do you keep answering the "night actions r turrible" part of my question when I was pretty much satisfied with that the first time and ignoring the "wait, my questions were WIFOM?" part that started the whole argument?

@billybobfred: is your current vote on bd still pressure, or is it a lynching vote?
I very nearly missed your question again! Line breaks and [b]bold[/b] names! Especially line breaks!

I'm not sure at what point a pressure vote over something that consistently doesn't get answered becomes a lynch vote.

Silas looks from the piece of wood in his hand, to the rusty hinge on the door of his cell, and back again. Guess that's as good a sign of divine prophecy as any, he thinks.

"Hey! Guard types? Since you all seem to have forgotten my existence, I'm just gonna leave, if that's all right."

>In the highly likely event that there is no response, break out of the cell.

You missed my question, billybob.
So I did. Oops.

@billybobfred: You seem to be focusing on Bd recently, what are you going to do now since he has explained the WIFOM situation?
I dunno. He's gotten real lurky lately, but then again, so has everyone.

billybobfred, why are you sitting on your BD vote? Do you think he's scum? Why or why not?
I'm still not sure if I'm satisfied with his answer. It's an improvement over his previous answers in that it actually addressed the thing I was asking, but it's a really shitty "oops that did not mean what i thought it meant" type of answer. I guess two people using a word differently can lead to long, pointless, circular arguments, but I explained real early how I was using the word, and if he thought it meant something else, that was his opportunity to bring it up.

If I had to pick a Number One Scum Suspect™, yeah, it'd probably be him. But it's close.

Days pass, and you begin to think your promised audience has been forgotten. Actually, when they stop bringing you food, you begin to think your very existence has been forgotten! You're not really sure what to do about that, but in the meantime:

"No Mystic Blue Gem, huh? I'll never understand why it doesn't tell it to me straight..." Silas won't bother resisting arrest, since this seems to be an intended part of whatever his guardian angel has planned.

You begin considering the situation. It's almost certain that your guardian angel intended you to be arrested. What, then was meant to come of that? A few possibilities come to mind:
  • You are thrown in a dungeon. Perhaps there will be something important in the cell? On the other hand, that seems like the kind of thing they'd try to avoid.
  • You are taken to see the King. That seems far-fetched even given the situation! Yet it would certainly have a grave impact on the nation.
  • You are immediately executed. Technically possible, but what good would come of it?
  • ... Actually, that's all you can think of.
In the end, you come up with only one viable course of action.

The hospital, if I remember correctly, is right next to the soapmaking shop.

Assuming the thing hasn't been disassembled for buggy uselessness, that is.

See, I usually keep tallow for soap.

Some of it, at least. If I find the fort is overflowing with one type of tallow, I'll let that kind be cooked.

>Silas's guardian angel: Explain things to those on the outside of the fourth wall.

Is it time for this, then? All right.

Firstly, the Mystic Blue Gem of Aknor does not, in fact, reside within this Kingdom's treasury. In fact, I didn't even bother checking whether it existed anywhere!

I told Silas, "To fulfill your destiny, enter the royal castle and seek the Mystic Blue Gem of Aknor". Clever individuals will notice that this does not require Silas to find it, or even that such a discovery be possible. This is not the first time I have given Silas such a command, so he is not ignorant of this possibility.

And for reference, Silas and I have already had a discussion on his destiny. He asked "Does it benefit humanity as a whole, or failing that, this kingdom (but not at the cost of another kingdom), or failing that, my family (but not at the cost of another family), or failing that, myself (but not at the cost of another person)". I said "yes". (He had reason to suspect some sort of dishonesty; it seems there are quite a few "demon children" out there for whom the answer would be "no")

Knowing that, it is almost certain that Silas believes his little infiltration will leave the kingdom better off than it was before, though it is just as certain that he doesn't know how.

This is what Silas knows and what he wishes to explain. This time, at least.

>Silas: Now explain it for the people on the inside of the fourth wall. Well, just the one, really, but you'll probably repeat it later.

(I figured my mysteriousness would backfire sooner or later. Kinda expected it to be sooner.)

So few questions for you : What makes good scum ? What do you think about kilakan ?
Far as I can tell, being sneaky and undetected (i.e. looking like town) would be the Number One Desired Trait™, but beyond that I don't really know what makes good scum.

Kilakan... well, he just subbed in, so I don't have a whole lot on him. He replaced scriver, who was passive as all hell (though there were apparently real-world issues involved there?), and the first thing he did was push the hell out of jc. And... that also appears to be the only thing. He seemed to be satisfied with jc's responses when he dropped it, but hasn't done much since then. He did say he was busy, but... More than anything, right now kilakan is confusing. Confusing is bad.

He's got 26 hours, though. (assuming i haven't fucked up with time zones again) (also assuming we don't choose to move the day end again)

Uh. Silas stares at the steward for a few seconds.

>Quick, win him over with your disarming cuteness!

Silas is pretty darn sure that won't work! The existence of the disarming cuteness is debatable, but the steward sees a sinister hooded figure sneaking around where he doesn't belong, and disarming cuteness will be brushed off as just another tactic.

>Then... explain yourself, I guess?

Oh boy. There's a lot to explain. Where to start?

>Well, your guardian angel sent you in here, probably knowing this would happen. The advice has been tricksy and mysterious before, but never outright bad, so think about why this might be desirable and go from there.
