I'm pretty sure I recall that Irre said that the vig had semi-outed themselves.
Does anyone else recall that?

[Magicziggy]

Irre said this yesterday.

"There is a vig, surely. Two kills on night one, what other explanation is there?

And the vig has kind of hinted at who they are. If they want to make a hit count they could take out higgs tonight. Just sayin'"

[charlou]

I have to admit I'm surprised. Not so much that irre is scum, but that she's dead. I hope this means the end of recruiting? Do you all think that scum = recruiters or are there two factions? I'm kind of think from the flavor that it might be the latter but I'll have to look it up again. After some sleep.

Why the latter? It looks pretty clear to me that irre's the carnivale version of the 'don' and has recruited a scum team.

I agree that the recruitment is probably over though .. of the eight of us, I'm assuming at least five must be town?

[higgs2]

Yes, I remember someone saying that. I didn't know who they meant. If it was irre she was probably full of shit. I figured they were special hunting trying to get the vig to out.

Did anyone get visited by an amorous skillful distraction?

I thought there were some weird religious overtones with a preacher and masons or something. Separate from the "forty milers".

[Magicziggy]

With an Indie (Mantis) I'd say just the cult.

ahh .. will look up the forty miler thing again ...

[Magicziggy]

I'm placing Higgs tentatively back in my town list, alongside Charlou and Callan.

That kind of leaves 4 to choose from with probably 3 scum.

[higgs2]

Mantis wins with scum right? But yeah, maybe it's just the cult. What is a "forty miler" though?

I couldn't find references on the Carnivale wiki ... Here's what oblivion said, though: http://www.rationalia.com/forum/viewtop ... er#p690672

What is a "forty miler"?

Forty Miler - A greenie who is willing to travel, but only short distances from their home base. Also used to describe anyone or anything that is perceived to be fake or phony.

[charlou]

Is that you higgs/Lila?

[Magicziggy]

Charlou, what do you make of Irre asking the vig to take out Higgs?

[higgs2]

Is that you higgs/Lila?

Is what me?

[charlou]

I have no idea, MZ .. it's got me ... what are your thoughts on it?

This is a weird game and I'm suspicious of everyone, but of the four left, Denny is still a firm scum for me .. higgs, UT and Callan I'm uneasy about .. squid and gib seem townish and you ... town, I think.

oblivion on forty milers:

Also used to describe anyone or anything that is perceived to be fake or phony.

IOW, I'm still not convinced by your character claim.
