Sullivan the Lunatic thinks he is the Imp: *Each night\*, choose a player: they die. If you kill yourself this way, a Minion becomes the Imp.* His bluffs are:

\*Not first night

## Notable moments

* The hellos are very sweary, starting with Tom. In an effort to remain monetised, they're all bleeped. It still gives Adam a headache though.
* Ben: "Laurie, you've got to be somewhat pleased that there's zero chance of you solving the game before anyone else and being ignored" - because Laurie is Cassandra.
* Adam: "You have sat me between Isaac and Carley, two people who wish me nothing but ill."
* Tom: "You see... that Tom hasn't had time to write a long intro this month, so your search for the demon starts now."
* Brooke shouts at Sullivan a little - but this time he knows he's not evil.
* Laurie's going for zen, it lasts ... less than a minute.
* Adam: "This may have been our stupidest day yet."
* Ben: "Are you an actor or something Sully? That was wonderful" Tom: "In my eyes, you're the first of the Mohicans."
* Laurie: "Sweet baby fucking James."
* Poor Jon - he did genuinely make a mistake with this one, but there was no mercy for it. Adam: "I hate to hang a man on a mistake ... but I'm about to." Jon's outrage is entirely justified, sadly. Ben: "That's probably the most impassioned defence I've ever seen ... but is it a lie?!" Jon's calling for support in the comments. Adam's claiming his sacrifice allows the town to solve the puzzle. Sullivan points out that Jon does eat people, so there's that.
* Ben to Jon: "While I want you to suffer, I want you to feel obliged to say that you enjoyed it." Jon: "Wow Ben, I'm genuinely touched."
* What's in a French Martini? Sullivan: "A full baguette, a crate of brie and a tiny mime artist."
* Ben: "Do you know what, Laurie? I really thought you'd got them then for a moment - hands were going up and down all over the place... going into that final day, you were massively the outsider and the fact that you made people falter and *almost* convinced them. That's a real testament - I'm not just saying that."

## Trivia

* Ben is the grand central station of misinformation.
* Catfishing is 'the most official unofficial script' - very widely played and tested, regarded as a good transition to custom scripts. It has mostly characters from the base 3, with some additions.
* We get several pieces of direct confirmation that players cannot see one another and can only judge by voices.
* Jon's feud with Ben is coming along nicely.
