"Sure thing, bud! Do you want a voodoo doll of Eternis?" Dominic asks Eric, taking out the doll from his refrigator. How much stuff is in there, anyway?
Before we go on:
Thread Zombies have no contact with other zombies.
thread zombies have no reason NOT to kill regular zombies.
When thread zombies kill their 2 victims, they RETURN to their previous (and in my case, LIVING) roles.
Given the above, and assuming that I'm a thread zombie, I'm actually a more useful tool than before for us to use.
So, still want to murder me?
Spoiler
(BTW I was in hospital, with no Internet access for a week. So thanks. .)
Edit: Also, hugs to everyone who's voting for me. I forgive you guys.
Edit 2: My new vote is for Tom the Mime, coz if he's actually done the research then he'd know that the fact that I (may) be a thread zombie means nothing.

Eternis, I know thread zombies aren't sided but they are a role with a kill (which would be more or less random at this stage) and an incentive to use it. That changes the dynamic of the game and I think in a way that slightly favours the undead looking at a balance between undead conversion, resurrection and promotion. I may be wrong. On the plus side for you, this game seems designed to have a revolving door afterlife so if you get lynched, you probably won't be dead long and would come back as a villager.

True. The thing is, I'm sorta bummed about getting chucked because of (see previous spoiler. But it's cool.

No one in the Village of Resurrection knew how the first zombie came to be. Some say it was created by a Lich, some say a voodoo priest. But no matter how zombies were created, most everyone generally agreed that Zombies needed to be eliminated. They were dangerous - not just the ones that roamed around en mass, but the rumored and greatly feared Thread Zombies*. How can you be afraid of someone who doesn't do anything? Who doesn't act or show signs of life? An interesting question… but in the Village of Resurrection people who didn't occasionally show their faces were generally thought to be up to no good and deserving of a good stake and burn. After all, this was a war, a Zombie War, a war between the living and the not quite dead…
Eternis didn't see things that way, of course. Thread Zombies weren't like other zombies, he tried to say. Thread Zombies wanted to help the town and fight in the battle against the other undead. Whether or not this was true, his arguments failed to convince the inhabitants of Resurrection that a zombie could ever ever be anything other than a moaning, decaying corpse of evil. And so,
Spoiler
Eternis was slain. He was staked and burned.
I'm sorry to hear that Matthias would like to opt out of the game but I'm also glad that he let us know. I am happy to answer any questions anyone has about their role via PM or a QT.
Night 3 Begins
and ends in about 48 hours
*Ghosts and Wraiths are immune to becoming Thread Zombies
W00t. I can now cause (private info) to be a thread Zombie FOR ALL ETERNITY!
Or at least until one of us reverses his position...
Or if he's undead...
In which case I can help town anyway...
Edit: From the grave of the late Eternis, a low moaning sound sets the inhabitants of the village on edge.
Just because I'm dead doesn't mean I can't role play...
P.S: I feel no negative feelings towards anyone who voted to kill me. Now I'm incorporeal, and can PEEK INTO THE WOMEN'S CHANGEROOMS... WITHOUT ANYONE BEING ABLE TO CATCH ME! Muahahahaha...

"Incorporeal people can still affect each other, you know..."
The voice from behind Eternis was accompanied by a swift kick, aimed for his back, by the ghost of Vsal Orianni, the fae-looking girl who had died the first day.

.ooooooOOOOOOoo. Ghost or Fae?
Sam Lederveil, head of the investigations team had this to say, "We spent the night in the cemetery and got the usual energy fluctuations and occasional cold chills up our spines, but no one was prepared for the low moan that originated from nowhere. Normally, we would pass this off as a wild animal, but we were able to track the origin of this sound to a location of empty air. Later that same night a member of our team saw a manifestation of an actual spirit from beyond the grave."
We recruited a portrait sketcher to draw a picture of the girl and when we showed it to our fae specialists they claimed that it was most definitely fae. We asked what possible interest the fae would have in Resurrection and were told that the fae were likely there to play pranks on humans. When we told Sam about our findings and suggested that maybe these ghost sightings were actually the fae playing a prank on him he responded, "There will always be skeptics to what we do. In fact, we our are own greatest skeptics. What I'm saying is that what we observed that night wasn't alive."
Do Sam's theories have any substantial validity? The Nightly Chronicle will continue to follow Sam and his research in the hopes of unraveling these mysteries.
Too Many Zombies?
Yesterday, Matthias2207, a long time resident of Resurrection announced the sale of his home to Count Dingdong. When asked the reason for the move Matthias told us that there were too many zombies in Resurrection and avoiding them all was becoming too much of a hassle. "The path I take from home to work is just too complicated. I can't keep track of which zombies are where anymore and it's only a matter of time before I accidentally stumble into one." The writers here at The Nightly Chronicle would tend to agree. The Zombie problem has escalated in recent months and the absence of sightings of the legendary Woodcutter point to the possibility that the village of Resurrection may soon fall to a Zombie apocalypse. Whether or not we have reached critical mass is hard to say, but given that villagers are already leaving, the end may not be that far away for us all.
*job openings available, must be willing to work at night
Dingdong roles into town, bags in hand and goods in tow. Begins modifying house, getting wood from wherever. Sawing, hammering, pounding painting. House slowly gets outfitted with rows of seats in front. "Gosh darnit. Dang-blasted woodcutter. Where's an axe when you need it?"
Leaveing work where it is, he sets up podium, bringing box to it. He takes gavel and says in loud voice: "Here, hear! Get yer dead-bustin gear! Goin for cheap, chep prices! Auctions for stakes, for torches, mebbe even prized Cutter's axes! Going now, a noose! Starting at 3 copper. What's the bid? Do I hear 5? 10? 2 silver? More? Going once..."
He continues to nonexistant crowd til people appear.
"Get lost, competition! I'm the only one here to sell my wares! Don't make me sic the zombies onto you!" Dominic yelled at Dingdong, throwing a stone at him, which, of course fell short, seeing how far away they are from each other.
Turning to Eric, he grins at the thought of a sale.
"Sure thing! Let me just unhook the handman's rope....wait a minute. How did you know I have a rope?! Are you one of them government spies?!"
Well Ramsus is of the most likely people to still be a villager. Unless a starting villager refused promotion, only the rezzed people would be villagers now. Which makes me wonder why ThePhantom bothered voting in red. Might rp later.

There is a very good reason I didn't actually post this reasoning. After all, if one of the undead fell for it, then more could as well. Tom, you were the one that pushed the Eternis lynch, and well it wasn't a terrible move for town, we've better targets than thread zombies.
You were also identified as a villager on day 2, so the chances of you being an undead are rather high. I'd ask any surviving woodcutters or mages to off the Mime. We really need night kills if we are to have any chance of competing with the two kills the undead have.

The night was filled with the moans of the undead as zombies pours through the streets :
Brains!!!
Brains!!!
Brains!!!
The zombies lurched and shuffled but there was too many for all to avoid. Luckily most villagers remained safely barricaded in their homes. Still a barricade wasn't always fool proof or should I say zombie proof. One zombie could be held back by a simple barricade, but masses of zombies had this tendency to overwhelm walls by virtue of either knocking down barriers or eventually piling high enough to go over them. When morning finally returned 52.5 Lemons were found scattered and squashed, ripped and shredded.
Spoiler
52.5 Lemons was slain. He was ripped to pieces and munched on.
Hand me that thread. Oh, did you hear about the zombie that got offed in the night? Yeah, he'll be back Tomorrow though. Hopefully he'll hang around for a bit next time. If he vanishes again, he'll not be so fortunate the next time he falls.
-------------
Alright people, I wanted to gauge some stuff before doing this (thing that is at the end of this post), but since everyone seems to want to become thread zombies besides the ghosts (of which there are now 2):
Start posting your suspicions. Anyone who does not post Today might find the revolving door between here and the afterlife to be rather sticky on the way back in. Remember, the only ones that can be counted on to vote are the newly raised, so at least one of you two needs to get out here and choose a lynch target.
Since the undead are quite likely to have turned a resurrected person by now and I thus have a much greater chance of being killed by a misguided town power than I do of turning any undead, this your High Cleric signing off.

Sensible enough claim considering no undead can kill or turn you until at least day 10, longer if you take out the lich before he becomes a demi lich. You might've taken out a few undead still though given I don't think they're networked in this game with the resurrections and alignment switching. Still good on balance though.

Given the number of the deaths and number of possible resurrections, probably everyone who wants to be except Lemons, assuming TBF is the high cleric and tried to resurrect as many as he could each night.

Hey now. You told me to not let on I was about for at least a day.
But anyway, I don't even know who's still alive at this point, so... Relying on my suspicions would be kind of silly.

The problem with this game is that many people have no incentive to post. Why is that? Well, the undead don't want to vote and have their status ruined, per ThePhantom. But, why isn't the town pointing? They have nothing to lose, and if they aren't pointing, they're sent to thread zombie territory.
Perhaps the best course of action now would be to create a list of thread zombies, who haven't posted in days.
