When the Larvae Moult | The infection spreads | Post-mortem p.74

While I agree there's probably 1 wolf/mutant larvae per squad, I don't think we should be thinking out one squad just yet as the squads will likely be significant and we want as many humans in them as possible. Especially since the less humans there are per squad, the more control the wolves will have over the flares l.

So we don't know if evil will kill or infect/spread over night right? We also have no idea how many evil there are, and if they have roles.

Is it worth considering that each role might exist in each squad. e.g. each squad has a medic (made up role!)

I wouldn't assume any sort of role balance at this point.

While this was in reference to the random kill, I would presume that the allocated roles were treated the same, at least for now.

Fixed a couple of errors, added some colours:

As mentioned - doesn't tell us much at this stage, but it's always worth recording votes!

Its worth noting that I'm very unlikely to be online in time to vote.

The remains of the villagers are starting to bloat. They've been picked at by vultures, and some are now crawling with maggots. Your fallen comrade, Sigma_Tomous, is already starting to attract the attention of flies. Out of respect, and also for hygiene, it's time to decide where to bury the dead.

There are two suitable sites for a mass grave.

1. The hillside. The soil is hard and rocky, and it is disturbingly close to the centre of the village, where you need to sleep and work.
2. The marshes. The soil is muddy and grassy, and it is quite far to carry corpses (around a click south-east).

Neither option seems ideal, but a decision has to be made, and a ditch has to be dug.

You have an hour to vote on this issue.

Dump them in the swamp, Marsh.

Marshes. Always the marshes.

Actually, let's say votes up to 6pm will count. Sorry for any confusion.

[I'm aware that people are travelling home from work around now, so I want to give some leeway for that.]

marsh, i dont want no corpses near where i'm sleeping.

Hillside

Less distance to travel (holding diseased and infectious corpses), and less...fertile...sounding conditions if something's growing.

Maybe, but if you heap diseased and infectious corpses into graves near where we are sleeping and working etc. the odds are that is going to cause issues too, if something is growing it would be better it was futher away.

Marsh seems more sensible and hygienic, we don't want any contaminated corpse parts washing downhill in the rain.

Why can't we just cremate the bodies?

Edited to clearly indicate my choice.

Marshes. Maybe the extra walking will help us reflect on what a terrible decision you guys made.

I get your points - but you can carry them to the marshes. I'll stand here and "supervise".

Neither option seems very good. Extended contact with already festering corpses doesn’t seem like a good idea, but neither does burying them where they could contaminate stuff. If we ever need to refer to something with a corpes in future though, it seems like the hillside is somwhere you could go back and check but the marshes not so much. I'm going to say hillside for now, but I could be convinced otherwise.

I'm voting hillside too, we should minimise close contact for risk of disease (even with our hazmat suits) as we don't know what we are dealing with, and provided we dig a deep enough grave I don't think we need to worry about it being close to the village thanks to the hard and rocky soil.

I would have voted burn the lot of them if that was an option though!

There are enough of us for now, if you carry them 2 people a corpse holding their arms and legs and all wash our hands after we shouldn't get too much ick on us.

Nothing good will come from the marshes, which probably means it’s the best place to check.

I’ll vote marshes.
