Odds are I'll switch my vote over when wake back up (so roughly 8-9 hours) depending on more (or same) information. I still think Vivet is acting scummy, but odds are we won't go from 3 to 9 votes before the day ends, so Cyndarin seems like a likely candidate. As I said though, I'll wait and see a little while longer to see if anything plays out.
Last I heard Cyndarin couldn't post from that account anymore due to her retiring. She said she was making a character to post a few days ago, butit doesn't look like that is happening.
I will vote, just not before she has a chance to speak. For some reason it feels like she's been quieter today than she has been otherwise. I mean I know she'll be able to stump-post, but it still doesn't feel quite right, you know?
Luce challenges Ssaliss As a final match of the day, Ssaliss and Luce challenge one another. Luce with his wrath, and Ssaliss with his exploding familiars. The two fighters circle one another, testing each other's defenses with quick, precise jabs. Luce by sending fans of burning flames that Ssaliss has to weave between, Ssaliss by sending exploding familiars that burst into exploding bullet patterns. Luce does not have to dodge those bullets though, as whenever a bullet gets too close it refracts away, bending most of them away. The few that don't refract properly are easy enough to dodge. And when he notices this, Luce pushes himself on the offensive. Diving carelessly towards Ssaliss in a flurry of firey bullets. It's impossible for Ssaliss to dodge all those bullets. Not when the massive fans are shot from such close range. He lifts up a few familiars to try and shield himself, but they end up exploding in his face. Poor Ssaliss is sent flying out from the ring, granting Luce victory.
With 17 voting individuals, 2 in absentia and 1 sick, it's 9 to force someone to leave
The following are a little easier to vote off Vivet Lehki Ssaliss
That's a lynch and then some!
As the day slowly creeps towards night, the group feels the pressure to reach a decision. Someone among them have been sabotaging the reconstruction effort. They need to be found and dealt with. With little information to go on, the group eventually settles on putting pressure on Cyndarin who was fingered by Tamashi, a self-admitted saboteur earlier on. Cyndarin doesn't offer up much of a defense to the pressure. In fact, she seems completely absent-minded as there's no response until it's been decided that she has to go. The group circles around her, Vivet at the front. "Cyndarin, it's been decided that you're to leave the reconstruction efforts. You're not welcome here."
"Hmm?" Cyndarin peers at Vivet and casually shrugs her shoulders. "Aww, really. But I'm not done..." Her voice trails off as her gaze scans the crowd, landing on Ileein. "Hey. Catch!" She cries out, suddenly sending out a flurry of nuts before her. All but Ileein are caught in the sudden barrage of ethereal nuts, leaving them dizzy and unfocused. Quick as lightning, Cyndarin dives through the crowd towards Ileein, only to crash into a sudden barrier that Ileein erects in front of himself. With Cyndarin momentarily stopped, Ileein leaps backwards and conjures up a series of magical missiles which are sent towards Cyndarin. "Guh." She grunts as the barrage knocks her clean across the ground. "I forgot how ridiculously persistent you are."
"Ratatoskr!" Ileein snarls and flicks his arms skywards. Energies of red and brown swirl into an enormous meteor shower that comes flying right towards Cyndarin. "I will stop you!"
"Nu uh. Can't catch me!" Cyndarin giggles as she gathers energy into her. Her body takes on a soft, blueish hue as she leaps skywards, summoning up ghostly images of trees that she can jump between, dodging the meteors as they crash to the ground and leave enormous craters. Ileein leaps up to intercept Cyndarin, but she is prepared. "I'll snap you like a twig." Cyndarin grins as she crashes into Ileein, tossing him to the ground before leaping back to send out another flurry of nuts.
Ileein gropewls as the nuts fly through him, but it's not enough to bring him down. "Clearly you are what you eat, because you're nuts to think you can escape me." He glances towards the ruins and turns tail, running towards it with Cyndarin taking the bait and following him.
"Hah. That's it. Run awaaa" She doesn't get a chance to finish her taunt. As soon as Ileein is by the rubble he picks up a large piece of the foundation and hoists it over his head and down on Cyndarin with enough force that the piece of stone shatters into several pieces, leaving a stunned Cyndarin groaning in pain. Ileein steps into the rubble and pulls Cyndarin out of the mess. With a frown of concentration he pats her down, finding a tiny black serpent which he throws aside. With the Seed of Unknown Form gone, Cyndarin's illusory form becomes that of a tiny squirrel that Ileein hoists up by the tail. "Nooooo." The squirrel whines. "Let me goooo!"
"Sure." Ileein says with a cheeky smirk. He throws the squirrel up into the sky and picks up a wooden beam from the ruins. He uses that beam as a baseball bat, and poor Ratatoskr as the ball, sending him flying straight up into the sky. Ileein frowns as his eyes follow Ratatoskr's trajectory and once he's satisfied Ratatoskr will still land on the temple ground, he turns to the rest of the group gathered there and bows politely. "Thank you all for your assistance in weeding out Ratatoskr." Ileein rubs a finger across his neck and pulls out another small black serpent. As he flicks it away his visage transforms into that of a humanoid ferret. "As I stated earlier, my name is Pollux. I'm a chimaera demon hunter employed by the church to track down and punish Ratatoskr for his crimes. With your help, I've been succesful in my task." He peers about himself at the destruction he's caused. "I... must apologize for the mess. I promise I'll send someone back to help you out later, by way of thanks. But for now I must take my leave." He idly walks towards a seemingly random spot of the temple grounds, where he casually rips open a gap in space. A few moments later, poor Ratatoskr falls from the sky and into the gap. Pollux turns to the rest of the group and gives them one last salute before he too leaps into the gap. The gap closes, and they are both gone, leaving a very confused gathering of people to wonder what just happened.
Cyndarin has been lynched, and has thus lost. Ileein has won!

Congratulations on your victory during the Gods and Monster's
mafia. Too bad you've now got Pollux chasing after you, eager to
punish you for your lies and misdirection. As if a mortal demon
hunter can weed you out. Especially here in Gensokyo where you can't
throw a rock without hitting a youkai of some sort. This could be a
nice place to rest and recover, but Pollux is very persistent. You
did manage to trick him into destroying that Shinto Shrine, but he
won't fall for such a distraction next time. You have to take him
out, and if you can't take him out on your own... well, you could
always rely on your ability to manipulate pretty much everyone.
Your goal is to eliminate Pollux. You win if and only if he is
lynched before you.
Trickster of the world tree: You're immune to all eliminations
except for lynches. Furthermore, you may target someone at night to
steal their vote. Your vote will count for two during the following
day, and they will not be able to vote. They will be aware that
someone stole their vote. You're immune to all investigations, unless
you choose to let yourself be investigated.

You're not from Touhou aren't you? After Ratatoskr made such a
mess of the war between monsters and gods, you tracked the sneaky,
lying squirrel to Gensokyo. You cornered him near some old Shinto
shrine, where you cast a spell to hopefully take down that little
monster once and for all. Unfortunately, magic is a lot more
powerful here than you're used to. So you kind of ended up
annihilating the whole shrine, while causing so much noise that
Ratatoskr managed to slip away. No matter. You can't give up yet. You
will bring him to justice.
Your goal is to eliminate Ratatoskr. You win if and only if he is
lynched before you.
Demon hunter: You're a man on a mission and can't let something as
small as overwhelming magical force stop you. You're immune to all
eliminations except for lynches. Furthermore, once per night you may
investigate someone, learning their ability and role-name, but not
their alignment.

It is now night 2. Night 2 will last until 11:00 GMT or until all night actions have been provided.
Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
If anything, I wonder if maybe Celina's relentless pushing on Ileein is more indicative of a...rodent-like influence? Her pushing to off a third party is definitely a very real and viable town strategy, but it'd be most convenient for the Ratatoskr character that Ileein is pursuing, wouldn't it? Especially if Vivet doesn't recognize Celina's spellcards; the reason could be that they're from a non-Touhou character. Dun dun dun!
(Conspiracy theories are fun, no wonder @Ushaara enjoys them so much.)
"Oh yeah, you're a naughty mayor, aren't you? Misfile that Form MA631-D. Comptroller Shevat's got a nice gemstone disc for you, but yer gonna have to beg for it."
The day approaches once more and slowly but surely people climb up the stairs to the shrine. Vivet seems to have been there before the sun even came up across the horizon. The last one to arrive is Weiwae, who seems skittish and extremely tired. Everyone is there still, which is enough to make one wonder, are there really any saboteurs at all, or is this all some trick by the demon hunter to make everyone not chase after him for ruining the shrine. At least no one seems to be sick today.
Welcome to Gensokyo's day 3
Today's news: Weiwae is stricken with paranoia. It'll take 1 less vote to eliminate him Iosion is awake again and has taken back up her old mantle. Ushaara is still counted in absentia. If he is not replaced by the end of the day, he will be eliminated. The day will last until 13th of October 20:00 GMT.
The copy of Bunbunmaru news is where it's always been.
--- Long-winded Busybody Annoys Esteemed Reporter While Reconstruction Continues
Loyal readers, I am dreadfully
sorry, but due to unavoidable circumstances my report will be a tad
truncated tonight. You see, just after I finished my last article and
was about to steal off into the night in the wake of Tamashi's onset of
insanity, I was met by the rudest person imaginable. She just
talked and talked and talked for hours about nothing at all! Maybe she
was a fan of the Bunbunmaru? Honestly, I'm not too sure...I stopped
listening about two minutes into her diatribe. Seriously though, if
you're going to waylay Gensokyo's premier reporter during prime
investigative hours, the least you can do is provide me with some decent
scoops (she did not).
The sheer nerve of some people!
Alas,
by the time I was able to convince this rabid fan to leave me alone,
the sun had peaked over the horizon and the rest of the reconstruction
crew had begun to stir. And what a day it was! After hours of brutal
banter (during which I assume some of the shrine was repaired as
well...we do not seem to be the most focused of construction workers)
two of Reimu's co-conspirators shed their Seeds of Unknown Form and have
abandoned not only the shrine maiden's sordid plot, but this entire
universe as well! Farewell, Pollux and Ratatoskr! I'm sure that you will
all agree that the intense pressure of my reporting played a key role
in making them too nervous to stick around.
None-the-less, loyal
readers, night falls once more and it is time to do that which I do
best. I intend to creep out of a window this time to avoid any Talkative
Tammys, seek out the remainder of Reimu Hakurei's saboteurs, and FORCE
them to give me an interview.
Except this time, I will be the one in control!
Until tomorrow, Aya Shameimaru

@Breandryn! I challenge you to a duel! Hourai's Seven-Coloured Jewel @Lavinya! I challenge you to a duel! Control Sign: Toys for Children
The reason for both of these duels is that (as far as I've got recorded, at least) we haven't seen any of their spellcards. As a note, we also haven't seen any of Sylandras spellcards, but since one of mine is on cooldown, I can only challenge two people. (plus, she posted in the absence thread as potentially absent, so...)
Yarith jailed me again. Sounds like the reporter person got roleblocked, too.
Viravain, Lady of the Thorns shouts, "And You would seize Me? Fool! I am the Glomdoring! I am the Wyrd, and beneath the cloak of Night, the shadows of the Silent stir!"
Sounds like Aya can report and investigate in a night, so if I had to guess, she got roleblocked the night before and thus reported nothing today. The report we get from her tomorrow will probably include last night's investigation. From the sound of it, Aya sends the report first, then steals off to peak on people.
"Oh yeah, you're a naughty mayor, aren't you? Misfile that Form MA631-D. Comptroller Shevat's got a nice gemstone disc for you, but yer gonna have to beg for it."

The reason for both of these duels is that (as far as I've got recorded, at least) we haven't seen any of their spellcards. As a note, we also haven't seen any of Sylandras spellcards, but since one of mine is on cooldown, I can only challenge two people. (plus, she posted in the absence thread as potentially absent, so...)
I can only assume that Synkarin and Luce's illnesses were related to Cyndarin stealing their votes on those given days.
Really not sure where to go from here just yet, but I'm interested in hearing from the rest of ya'll.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that @Vivet roleblocked our esteemed reporter?
Wasn't it Ileein who got roleblocked on night 0? Just trying to establish some sort of mental record.
That said, @Breandryn I challenge you to a spell card duel with Sunspark! Make it meaningful.
So who sent the mean whispers at me last night?
