Last night our top investigators found that there were 3 non mafia threats to the town in the active pool as of last night, which is an increase from when we had 1 non-mafia threat to the town in the active player pool during night 4. The Green Goblin and Sandman are known, but there is a secret third threat among us. Their presence is likely The Lizard, according to some helpful information sent in to the Bugle.
Could the Sandman be Lain? We have discovered that Lain is supervillain aligned, has bonus or secret votes, and has no corporate shares. Lain's return to the Active player pool matches with Sandman's arrival in New York City. Lain also started the game in Jail, which matches the Sandman. Regardless of which threat they seem to be, what matters is their malicious intentions toward our beautiful citizens. Whether or not the Green Goblin is not a threat to town, the Green Goblin is mafia, or wherever the Sandman or Green Goblin was simply not in the active player pool during night 4 remains to be seen.
We have also discovered that working for a threat to town does not count as being a threat to Town. If you're not a villain yourself, working for one does not makes you guilty by association.
Keep up the great work, lovely people of NYC. Don't lose heart!

Dear Martha,
This letter could be from an NPC, Abigail who could be temporarily playing the role of Martha, or even Mint. Any of those three seem decently plausible.

Dear "Martha",
This letter could be from Abigail who could be temporarily playing the role of the Lizard or Martha, or even Mint who might permanently be playing one of those two roles. Either sounds plausible.
-Ed.
Anonymous said:Justice isn't as complicated as the double-talkers and smooth dealers make it out to be. Someone lives a life of crime, of fornication and lies and and unfair deals, that's their own choice. That's injustice. And justice is what is left when injustice is removed.
In your inaction, in your repeated failure to scorn the unjust and cast out the villains, that is where you show yourself to be one of them, just like the rest of the vermin. Rats, gnawing at the foundations of the house of the state, cockroaches skittering from the light, and the apathetic, effeminate do-nothings who allow that to be: they're just as guilty.
By the time this letter reaches print, I will have begun the futile work of removing the worst filth from this city. Fear me, for I know the true face of the world. Hate me, for I do not offer you empty absolution. But believe me, judgment day is coming for those who have done wrong, have aided and abetted wrongdoing, have let themselves grow fat on the greasy leavings of wickedness.
What do you see?
Dear Anonymous,
I hope you're having fun killing rats or whatever it is you're doing.
-Ed.

Editor's Note — Lizard Watch
By Joseph "Robbie" Robertson
Dear Readers,
Who is the Lizard? If I knew definitively I'd say so, but unfortunately most of what I have to work with is the fact that I received the above two letters this morning (postmarked yesterday). One of them is validated in a way that shows it was sent by Martha Connors, the other is impossible to validate.
I have made one minor edit to both "Martha" letters. The sender may feel free to identify themselves as the sender letting me know what I edited in their message either in future letters or in the thread if they see fit to do so.
There are three primary suspects for sending the first letter and 2 primary suspects for sending the second letter. Mint recently entered the active player pool, which is consistent with either character we have seen no hide or hair of this game.
Abigail also recently changed characters, presumably due to actions by Hello World who might be setting events into motion or through pre-planned events by the mod. This changed character I speculate could be one intended to support Mint's character's story. I believe the most likely situation is that Mint is the Lizard and Abigail is Martha Connors, but I can't say that for certain and the opposite is also entirely possible.
I do also believe it's possible that Martha Connors is an NPC to support Mint (or less likely Abigail), whichever might be the Lizard. Martha Connors could be a built in cry for help to give Mint or whoever else a chance at being saved from a life of villainy.
It is also possible that both letters are from Martha and she has an ability that makes her able to send two letter in a Day or that one of the letters was generated by an ability or something that made it possible to send a second letter.
There's a decent chance I'm wrong and one of the few players we haven't identified yet happens to be Conners or Martha.
Keep up the good work everyone,
Robbie Robertson

Strommy Waters
By Joseph "Robbie" Robertson
The Daily Bugle would like to apologize for mistakenly assuming that Lain was Professor Mendel Stromm in a prior issue of the paper. Further review of evidence and a greater understanding of the existence of NPCs in the game has lead us to believe that Lain is unlikely to the Stromm and that Stromm is most likely an NPC.
Yes, while Lain did begin the game in jail, so to did Flint Marko, also known as Sandman. Sandman was seen entering New York City the same time Lain entered the active player pool, making it extremely likely that Lain is Sandman given the fact that Lain is also a supervillain.
That said, I suspect that Mendel Stromm is not a player at all, but rather an NPC. This would line up with the fact that they did not show on the list of jailed players at the start of the game.
(Bolded information is mechanically confirmed, but not mod-confirmed.)

Spider-Man Assaults Young Lady Minding Her Own Business
By J. Jonah Jameson
Reports have come in of Spider-Man pursuing a young Woman over the roof tops of the city continually trying to tie her up in what can only be assumed as some sicko fetish. Reports indicate the young lady in question is none other than Black Cat, who has been working diligently to establish a peace between the gangs of New York and the fine citizenry - showing just how much of a menace this spider truly is.
The latest reports indicate she was able to fight him off long enough to flee into a public building, but only time will tell if she truly escaped this monster's grasp.
