You're town because you explicitly asked Sal if he was town and got suspicious on the vanilla variant iirc?

Ya fair. We (apparently) can't vote anyone today. I misspoke when I said "Vanilla Town" but to be fair a one word PM that says Town with no other abilities could be inferred as vanilla town.

Yes.

It means he was probably fishing for the individual word as a response which means he had strong reason to believe that town had got a single word.

A scum player could infer that reasonably but it was too fast imo.

well, it was stated explicitly by MMM at one point, that he'd give you a one word PM, town or scum. But I didn't expect everyone to actually pay close attention to that, especially with all the cool puzzle things around to distract people.

I really think we should be focusing at this point at looking at the image that we have yet to solve. I've posted my thoughts earlier.

I just went over the picture again at like 400% zoom. The only thing that I even came close to seeing was the below which I'm not even sure if it is anything at all but wahey posting it anyway.

His hoarding of roles and attempt to dole them out is very Nat 20, and in the abstract, that obviously means scum.

His earnestness and lack of buddying up solely to you during it makes me think he's trying to be actively +ev, however, so I guess I have a town read on him inasmuch as such a thing is possible to have in this game

Alright -

I've tried to render this picture in 3d. To see if the squiggle in the chair takes a more meaningful shape when seen from a different angle. No dice.

I've filled in the like colored negative space in the white wall. Really cool effect but, nothing revealed.

I've finished writing the half written letters in the poem. And while I noticed that two lines have their top halfs missing and two lines have their bottom halfs missing, it doesn't seem like they line up to make anything new.

I put the image in a photo editor and pushed the contrast way up. No hidden symbols. I ran it through some filters after that, still no hidden symbols.

I think the key to solving this one is in the text itself. The phrase "Feel all the bits" strikes me as off. Bits isn't quite right. There's a dozen words he could have used to suggest "Parts of a chair". Bits is one of the least eloquent, which hasn't been MMM's style so far. It also isn't necessary for the rhyme scheme. Repetition of "Feel" in the third and fourth line also strikes me as off. I think both of these parts are included in the poem as double-entendre or hints to the solution. Which is what got me thinking of tactile solutions (3D, contrast, filters) and solutions involving parts or bits (completing the other halfs of letters, isolating like-colored parts of the picture).

Anyone else have a notion how we can "Feel All The Bits?" of a flat, black and white digital image?

I still got no idea about any of these puzzles, I just got lucky when the sheet came out that something was real easy to find using version history.

but it seems nuts that we got people putting in this level of effort and they managed to unlock day/night, nightkills, and SK but no votes.

maybe it's an intentionally delayed thing so it's like we get a night zero, and we'll just get votes automatically tomorrow, but if not I'm gonna be giving Rex and FL some major stinkeye here

i don't think it's going to be automatic, and i think that it's tied to this image as this is the only one that we haven't solved anything about

unfortunately, i really have no idea where to go with this one; there just...isn't anything that I can find in the image.

Day Two

Jonathan Fisk was killed. He was a town roleblocker.

Bifauxnen was killed. She was a scum watcher.

36 hours until night.

There are still some things I'm getting around to, if you're waiting for an action resolution or a question to be answered, please be patient while I go through my list. Otherwise, talk freely.

According to this thing (http://www.easydefine.com/), and assuming I haven't made any typos, there are 5 words that fulfill the imposed conditions:
clip

howl
stud
styx

I haven't yet figured out what to do with them.

Sorry yeah, I unlocked around 5 of the roles yesterday. I picked up Jailer, but didn't mention it until today so that I could hopefully dodge the NK last night and self protect today.

I honestly thought Bif was town because we had a pregame agreement that we'd reveal our alignments to each other via code if either of us drew scum/became a serial killer. I tried to give her the roleblocker role.

You can test that by going to tinyurl.com/mafergie which is a translation of the code I sent her using a cipher that is her letter to me at the end of Shine V.

Additionally I tried to give MMT the doctor role. tinyurl.com/salthebard (the person I made her betray in FSN mafia)

Anyway, since there are still some secrets hidden in the spreadsheet, presumably voting?

You can download the spreadsheet into excel and unhide the hidden tabs. That should give you some more ability to see the basis of what it does. It also gives the solutions I got:

Doctor, Question, Vig and Jailer. I additionally got Roleblocker, but not from that method.
