If we're right about Quin this will have been a top 3 all time mafia phase for me.

If Quin is the rogue, we won't actually find out until later tonight right?

If that's how G-Man wants to play it. Slow-rolling and teasing.

Back and working on the post. Sorry again for the delay.

G-man's got me doing ISOs in Romance of the Three Kingdoms just to pass the time.

Posted: **Fri Sep 09, 2016 3:00 pm**

At the very least, this suspense period is increasing my resolve that neither Sloonei or MM is a serial killer.

Posted: **Fri Sep 09, 2016 3:01 pm**

Sorry. Got pulled into a meeting about our company vehicles. Post coming shortly.

NO FOREIGNERS ALLOWED

The sun had already set over an hour ago but the Inner Circle sat by Tiffany Trump’s bedside, making their decision. Donald, exhausted as he was from his journey to Mexico and a rally in Phoenix, could not pass up the photo-op of him sitting by his ailing daughter’s bedside. Was it cynical? Sure, but it also projected his softer side.

As Tiffany lay motionless in her coma, Donald fought off Melania’s objections. It had been a close and laborious vote.

“Donald,” she fumed, her Slovenian accent biting hard into the antiseptic hospital room air, “this is ridiculous. Don’t shut me out. I have been nothing but loyal to you.”

“I’m sorry, my dear,” Donald consoled, “but this is how democracy works. You got the most votes so you have to go.”

“How are you so sure this is even necessary?” Melania asked.

“Because I know things. I know things and I know people. Great people. Believe me. I’m a businessman and I have great business sense. That business sense is telling me that something fishy is still going on here. If you’re clean, you’ll be back in the Inner Circle once this is all over.”

“Donald,” she pouted, “you are making a mistake.”

“Sweetie, sometimes you have to make mistakes to obtain success.” He sat up in his chair and pointed to the other four people in the room with him. “Hey, that’s pretty good. One of you write that down. We’ll put it in a speech.”

“Donald!” Melania huffed.

“Don’t Donald me, honey. Just go met Barron in the limo. He knows what to do.”

Melania put on a happy face so not to feed the tabloid journalists lurking and looking for any reason to continue their rumors of chaos inside the campaign. Donald watched her as she walked out.

“I hate to see her leave but boy do I love to watch her go!” Donald laughed. He sat down in a chair and let out a heavy sigh. “What a day. Mexico- my God what a mess! No wonder they never win any Olympic medals. All their best runners, jumpers, and swimmers are already over here!”

He looked around for smiles and laughs but received none. “Tough crowd,” he murmured. “Tough crowd.”

-------------------------------------------

Quin 2.0 has been removed from the Inner Circle. He was MELANIA TRUMP, Donald Trump's wife and a vanilla civvie.

It is now Night 4. If at all possible, I'd like to receive your night PMs by noon (EST) once more to get us back on track.

Posted: **Fri Sep 09, 2016 3:17 pm**

Wait for it

Posted: **Fri Sep 09, 2016 3:42 pm**

Well I hope that's another tease.

Posted: **Fri Sep 09, 2016 3:44 pm**

G-Man's looking for PM's, this must be real.

If I had to vote for someone right now, it would be Sloonei.

Posted: **Fri Sep 09, 2016 3:54 pm**

Also Jay, you are a doofus.

Posted: **Fri Sep 09, 2016 3:57 pm**

I won't be sure it's not Quin until G-Man reiterates it.

If it isn't him, I'll reassess everything again. I don't trust any of you bastards.

Posted: **Fri Sep 09, 2016 4:17 pm**

Sloonei, you seemed desperate to evade the lynch on a probable LyLo-eve. Would you agree with that assessment?

My phone just offered to autocomplete "Sloon" into "Sloonbeard".

I could stand to look at Golden more closely.

He thought you were the best case when he left. He wasn't here for the Quin development, no idea what he'd think of it.

I found it very surprising to wake up to, but entirely explicable once I read back.

I can give no genuine reaction to how I would have voted because I saw the reveal first.

IN THE DOGHOUSE

Donald Trump sat watching his daughter Tiffany as she slept. Her peaceful face was the yin to Donald’s stern-faced yang. He was deep in thought when his phone rang.

“That was fast, son,” he said into his phone. “What’s the word?”

“Mom is Mom,” Barron answered him. “No surprise there, really.”

“Is she still taking it badly?”

“Oh she is very mad at you. It’s been all ‘neumen this’ and ‘prekleta cepec that.’ It’s pretty bad.”

“Mmm. I love it when she talks dirty in Slovenian. Very hot.”

“I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear that. Any idea how you’re going to smooth this over?”

“Two words. Hear me and learn them well: make-up sex.”

“Gah, dad!” Barron said. “I don’t need to hear that!”

“I tell you- the most powerful orgasms a woman will ever have is through make-up sex. Believe me.”

“Stop talking about it! Do you want me to be scarred for life or something?”

“Ooh, I’ll bet she’ll wear her leather…”

“Dad, no! Just… no!” Barron shouted as he hung up the phone.

Donald didn’t care about cutting Barron’s report short. His train of thought was fully occupied with something else now.

-------------------------------------

Quin 2.0 really was MELANIA TRUMP.

And seriously, getting those PMs to me by noon (EST) would be yuuuge.

Have you changed your mind?

Maybe. At the moment the two people I am most wary of are you and Golden.

Posted: **Fri Sep 09, 2016 7:21 pm**

INH, regardless of your actual level of suspicion, do you consider Golden 2.0 to be a player who should be scrutinized fully and as an at least possible serial killer?

Posted: **Fri Sep 09, 2016 7:53 pm**

I'm sorry Quin.

Another vanilla civ, go figure.

Call it intuition, but I get the feeling you know what my answer is gonna be.

I believe all players should be scrutinized fully, and considered in all possible roles.

This extends to Golden possibly being a serial killer, yes.

Posted: **Fri Sep 09, 2016 10:37 pm**

Unfortunately I don't have time to try to work this out during the night phase. In the event that I am not present in the day phase, I would just recommend everyone keep an open mind. Preconceived reads without meaningful basis in evidence (as I believe any serial killer reads are going to be) can be dangerous and make manipulation easier. Challenge everyone else thoroughly before you make your final choice.

Posted: **Sat Sep 10, 2016 11:57 am**

Maybe if nobody votes tomorrow, G-Man will end the day phase in a no lynch.

THE DOCTOR IS OUT

Donald Trump woke up with a start. He rolled over, the luxury hotel sheets caressing his aging body. He frowned as the empty place where his wife normally slept reminded him of the previous meeting of his Inner Circle.

After showering and dressing for his morning flight to Ohio, he picked up the phone to order breakfast. It was dead. Furious at the poor maintenance of his luxury suite, he called the hotel lobby on his cell phone. Nobody picked up.

"Jesus," he muttered. "It's like I have to do everything by myself. Not good. Not good."

He left his room, only to be greeted by a dark hallway.

"Did everyone go on strike or something?"

He walked over to the elevators and pushed the down button. No response. Was he surprised? No, not the way the morning started.

A bright light turning on down the hallway took him by surprise. Someone was holding a flashlight but he couldn't tell who was holding it. Assuming it was a member of the hotel staff, he gave them a piece of his mind.

"What the hell is going on around here? You call this luxury? Everything worked fine down in Mexico. This place is falling apart just like the rest of this country."

No response from the person with the flashlight.

"Hello? I'm talking to you. Do you understand English?"

Again, no response. Angry, Donald marched toward the person and yelled at the top of his voice. The commotion started to rouse the other suite occupants.

"Do you know who I am? I'm Donald fucking Trump you moron! You either serve me well or you don't exist to me. Right now your service is really in the shitter. Maybe if you pull your head out of your ass and take care of your customers these kinds of things won't happen."

As Trump got closer, the flashlight holder's face became no clearer despite the intensity of the light. It wasn't until he was no more than six feet away that Donald realized the person was wearing a black ski mask.

"What the hell?" Donald asked, confused out of his mind. When the mysterious person took a step toward him, instinct kicked in and he took a step back. "What do you want? Money? I've got lots of money. Believe me."

But the masked person did not want any of Donald J. Trump's money. Raising the flashlight above their head like a luminous hammer made it quite clear to Donald what this person wanted. Donald continued to back up, calling out for help.

His attacker's gait overcame Donald's as a door opened nearby. The flashlight came down in a forceful arc.

"Donald, no!" a voice cried out. The flashlight connected with flesh and bone as more doors opened. The attacker took off running, his mission accomplished.

Or was it?

People emerged from their rooms shocked to see Donald Trump sprawled out on the floor. Frantic calls to 911 were made as Secret Service agents spilled into the hallway. They had lapsed in their protection of a presidential candidate and there would be hell to pay for them.

But to everyone's relief, Donald sat up and looked around. Bewildered, he checked himself out. There was blood on his tailored suit but he was not bleeding anywhere. His heart sank as he saw a body laying next to him on the floor, blood trickling out from the head.

It was evident now that he was right. No one could deny that someone was out to kill him. He would rub this in the face of the media who called him paranoid or a danger to his own people. He would use this in his campaign rallies to show that outside forces were afraid and hateful enough to try to assassinate him. Yes, it would be spectacular.

But first he would mourn the loss of a brilliant surgeon and supporter.

---------------------------

Sloonei has been killed. He was BEN CARSON, a Trump sycophant and a vanilla civvie.

It is now Day 5.
You have 48 hours to remove someone from the inner circle.
