I would also like a public ruling on the hit or no hit for the evils from Bala. It will shed some light on all of this.
Why vote DD now? She did vote in a manner seeming to try and save Ice, she also could have been saving herself. I would be comfortable voting her but it does not help resolve the Santa issue at all.
In re-reading the rules, it really sounds like the grinch himself had the hit/invest powers. I came out on the presumption that the evil elves can communicate, but not hit/invest. I'm hoping that's right or I think I'm screwed.
I pm'd Jpap, and it turns out since the grinch personally was the one with the power to hit, the evils can no longer hit innocents. This being the case, I feel comfortable coming out (so to speak). I am Santa.
First night, Ice was investigated.... we all now know how that turned out. Last night, the invest came back that Fire is Jack Frost.
The reason I voted DD last night was two fold. First, Noods and I weren't sure that the hit still couldn't go through, and we didn't want to be linked by both voting for Ice. The second reason is that I wanted to put votes on DD to see how she reacted. This way we might be able to tell her role without wasting an investigation on her. Those we wanted to use on low posters.
Didn't you say Jpap told you the hits were gone?
