Okay Hippo, you claimed Town Doctor, but now we have Edocsil turning up dead as Town Doctor. So, what it up with that? Was it just a fake-claim that has now been countered, or do you have some sort of explanation for why there would be 2 Town Doctors? Either way, I think we are going to need to hear what sort of action you took last night.
Now, Edocsil was the doctor, so why didn't he counter Hippo's claim in that case. (Or at least do something the raise doubts about the claim.) Hippo claimed doctor on the 14th.

Edocsil didn't post after this claim until the 17th where he took his vote of Shield/Strike and made no mention of anything relating to Hippo's claim or the case on Hippo at all.

I have no game altering case to bring at the moment sadly, I am just waiting for something to come up.
By this point in time, Hippo's claim was essentially universally believed. Now, of course a counter-claim would pretty much instantly turn that belief around. However, in my opinion, the state of affairs by that point in time was such that if edocsil voted for or raised suspicions on Hippo without offering the counter-claim he would not have gotten anywhere. Either he would have had his cries ignored/dismissed, or he would have been attacked for going after the claimed doc. So, it appears he was in a situation where his choices amounted to either make the counter/claim, or simply let Hippo go unopposed. Now, why would he go with the decision to let Hippo go free. All I can think of is that he either wasn't entirely sure that Hippo's claim was false, or for some reason he considered him counter-claiming to not be worth lynching Hippo.
Anyhow, unless you can come up with some explanation for why there would be two Town Doctors I will have to lynch you Hippo...
