And you were going to lynch me for bringing you hangover cures and snacks.

And here I would have made an Eternal Torment bet about there being a Black Death cause.

Can we also find out Momento Mori counts?

Sure: Viv had 6, Cuddlebeam had 4, Matt had 2, I (unwillingly) had 2.

I didn’t really know if anything caused Black Death but it seemed extremely useful if people thought they been poisoned… Red Cap had the highest likelihood from my counts and the scariest name.

Any Spirit Masters? I don’t think there can be more than one unless I really missed something. ..

Wait, there was nothing that caused lycanthropy? how was that aquired?

Lycanthropy had a chance of occurring via an early proposal. I kept it quiet for a few weeks when I got hairy back… There was never a chance of anything causing lycanthropy until this week but all the living players joined too late to realise that without going through the archives. So I could quite safely propose lycanthropy benefits and hope people would vote them through thinking they might catch it.

I was convinced Red Cap caused the Black Death—apparently in error!
