View Full Version : Large Mafia Game Inavi: Howling Seas [Concluded]
I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy...happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
NotW: Howling Seas
Inavi is a town built upon a small island in the Lanun nation. Aside from that fact there was absolutely nothing interesting about it. Only reason why one may wish to visit the place was to restock on supplies as they sailed past the island.
‘So what the hell is up with these people?’ the barmaid Sonny thought as she pushed her way through the crowd of people inside the inn. Indeed, only sailors and the occasional merchants visited this place, not people like the priests or some members of a Balseraph troupe.
“Sonny! One more drink!” shouted somebody.
“Coming!” she yelled across the inn. ‘Boy, this day is going to be bloody busy,’ she thought.
Funny how she mentioned the word ‘bloody’ though.
…………………………………………………………………………….
Mayor Seon quickly walked through the seaside road. He shuddered. The darn place gave him the creeps.
“Howdy Mayor!” a voice yelled out. The mayor stumbled forward. “Oh. Sorry if I scared you.”
The mayor quickly turned to the source of the voice. He saw a familiar face. “Oh it’s you. What are you doing here?”
“Just on a night stroll. Like you!” the owner of the voice said. “By the way, mayor-“
Lighting flash. Rain drops.
“What? Freak storm?” the mayor muttered. “Hey, my house is nearby. Do you want to go there until this storm blows over?”
The figure nodded. “Let’s do that…”

Basic Summary:
Hello, and welcome to my first NotW! People who followed the links in my signature and visited CFC would know what I am talking about. So what is NotW? Just follow this link to find out! (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=323633)
If you are like me and is usually too lazy to go through any hyperlinks, here is a basic summary:
NotW, or Night of the Werewolves, is a mafia game usually set in the universe of Fall From Heaven, a popular mod for Civ 4. Interesting part comes from that fact that everybody has his/her own unique role and backstory. The names of the said roles are proudly displayed upon the first page. As everyone knows who each other are, roleplay becomes much more important. The rules on roleplaying will be detailed later on the rules section.
So wait, some of you may be wondering. So why not just kill all the roles with the name "Mafia goon" in it? That's because all the "Mafia goons" are disguised. beefy being...let's say...a technician...doesn't mean that he can't be a member of an evil cult with a horde after horde of acid spitting monstrosities to kick around. Your favourite space marine may actually be a werewolf under all that armor and your favourite Town Idiot may be Mask DeMasque the Masked Thief. This, of course, works both ways. Your favourite Town Idiot may, instead of being Mask DeMasque, be a Super Sleuth in disguise.
Oh, and a rule at the core of NotW. THE DEAD MAY NOT SPEAK. The dead may not post in the Game thread. The dead may not talk with the living via PM or IM. THE DEAD MAY NOT EVER DISCUSS STRATEGY WITH THE LIVING. Simple "I HATE YOU ALL!" or "MWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA" is okay though as long as it's funny and there's no substance behind those words.
Of course, knowing all the roles of the people and also knowing that the dead do not speak raises an interesting dilema for the mafia. Do you kill Secura on day 1 to prevent her from steamrolling over your team on day 6, or do you kill the random poor Joe Schmuck named Seon who's role name sounds suspisciously powerful.
That's enough basic summary. These rules will be covered in more detail in the "Rules" Section.
Welcome to Inavi, an island town in the Lanun nation. What is the Lanun nation, you say. Lanun nation is comprised of various archipelago in the Aegean sea. Around 50~75% of its population is a pirate, merchant, or both. Oh yeah, and it's ruled by democracy. Pirates, cutthroats, and other criminals from all over the nations come together at Innsmouth the pirateville the capital city of the Lanun nation to decide upon who has the biggest :daisy:.
Unfortunately Inavi is so backwater that it misses out on most of these actions. Perhaps that's just so. Perhaps it is just alright to live in peace in one of the most volatile nations in Erebus. Besides, what could possibly happen to this peaceful town?
Rules
Time Cycle – The game will alternate between 48 hour days and 24 hour nights. During the daytime, accusations and item votes may be made, and public messages may be posted. During the night, player abilities may be used in secret by PM'ing the GM. Private messages may be sent regardless of the time of day.
Note also that secret messages can be sent through the GM. Just PM me whatever you want the message to be, and whether you want it to be public, or forwarded anonymously to a particular player, and it will be done upon the next morning, midday, or evening post.
Voting – There will be no voting, just accusations. The first day 2/3 of accusations are needed to kill a player. The next 2 days a majority of the accusations are needed, after that more than the runner up is the only thing needed.
When disaster strikes, you find yourself an isolated group with a werewolf (or whatever) among you, is it reasonable that the first thing you do is start voting on one person to hang per day? Heck no.
When disaster strikes, you find yourself an isolated group with a werewolf (or whatever) among you, is it reasonable that accusations fly back and forth, tempers flare, steel flashes and blood is spilled? Heck yeah!
My mechanic is intended to capture exactly this subtle difference. In my games there were no votes and no hangings. There were accusations and (more or less) accidental deaths. In effect they are exactly similar, but one gives a believable story and the other doesn't.
For the players, the only difference is that they should take care to cast their accusations in roleplay style, so instead of "The Wool Merchant gets my vote", you would instead have to say "I find the Wool Merchant's presence very unsettling, I bet he is the werewolf that has arrived among us". Not much different for how most already play, and how IMO everyone should play.
For the GM, the difference is a bit more tricky, but also more liberal. Instead of the everyday hanging, beheading, throwing off a cliff, walking the plank or whatever standard lynch mechanism has been used, you get to do the death free-style, different each day. In my game the wool merchant was trying to escape the angry people at the table that had started throwing their wine goblets after him, and as he ran he tripped and fell down the stairs and broke his neck. He was innocent. The Guardsman on the other hand was first accused by the noble Knight, and when it came down to it the Knight drew his sword in challenge, to which the Guardsman answered by growing furs. Then I could implement that death as the Knight killing the Guardsman in single combat.
You get the idea. Roleplaying and storytelling in a believable setting, rather than trying to tack an unreasonable and not believable out-of-game mechanic (the voting) into the setting itself.
In addition to accusation, it is possible to give someone your vote of confidence. This work as an inverse accusation.
There will also be some items revealed during the course of the game. These will be voted for publicly. A person with “normal” accusation power would get 1 vote. Those with more accusation power get the equivalent amount of votes.
Any accusations or votes can be sent privately to the GM and will then be announced in the evening post.
Injuries – Some things might cause some players to be injured. While injured a person normally can’t accuse someone nor perform night actions. Injuries will be cured in 36 game hours (if injured during night on day 5, you would be cured by midday of Day 7). If there are any other mechanics to remove injury, it will remain a secret.
Character stats – There will be numerous stats for each character; the only one available in the thread will be your public title and your gender.
Nationality – Everyone will get a nationality, these might not work as you think and they will not be public available, most people in the games will be Lanun however as this is a Lanun village.
Victory Condition – This is the title for how you win the game. The one most people get is “Innocent”.
Items – Several people will get items. These can be transferred privately at any update post (morning/midday/evening). They can also be revealed privately between parties this way. They can also be revealed in public.
You will also get listed abilities if you have any.
Communication Etiquette – Regarding public messages, try to keep night talking to a minimum. Also, if you have OOC stuff to talk about that doesn't pertain to playing the game, talk about it in the signup thread or in the general NotW thread. That means that if you're suspicious of someone 'cause there was no night kill last night, and this person was inactive, by all means post it in the thread. If, on the other hand, you saw an image in the mustard on your chilli dog that totally reminded you of something that one of your fellow players said the other day, it'd probably go best elsewhere. And one other thing: If you're dead, don't make any posts regarding the game, please.
Regarding private messages, there's a reason they're called private. Don't directly copy and paste quotes from private messages into other private messages or into public posts. Summarize them if you want, but don't give a word-for-word quote, and don't give the impression that you're doing so. Simlarly no direct copying of IM logs either.
Finally, remember that this last rule goes doubly for any PMs you have from the GM - do not, under any circumstances, copy and paste your ability description, your motivation, your victory condition, or anything else from your starting PM. The same goes for confirmations of ability use or whatever. Summarize it if you want, but word-for-word quotes are not permitted.

They're not as scary and unfamiliar as you would think. Since my first mafia game WAS a NotW, I didn't really see the difference. But, there are a few differences.
For one, EVERYTHING is done in roleplay. Everything. Don't say mafia, say werewolves. Don't say scanner, say prophet.
The only other major difference is that the universe is based off Fall from Heaven, a Civilization mod. Follow the link in the OP if you want to know more about it.

Only twice? :) But seriously, I at least play quite differently in NOTWs than in Mafias. Partially because in NOTWs, or CFC mafia games for that matter, I always seem to be scum, whereas here, I almost never am. I suppose this game will resolve the question of whether it's the style or the website ;)

Morning Day 1
Barmaid Sonny was walking home after a hard day's work at the inn. It was cold, it was raining, and the wind seemed to be strong enough to fling her into the air. Tiny bulletlike drops of rain pelted all over her body.
*Crunch*
She let out a scream.
In the dark, imagination runs wild. Sometimes, a piece of log is mistaken for a crayolic Ninny. Sometimes, if you are also drunk, you can mistake a werewolf for a prostitue. I won't even begin to list the number of man who had his... actually, I will let your imagination take hold there. In any case, Sonny was no exception to this rule; a terrified squirrel raced out of the forest.
Sonny took a few moment to compose herself again and laughed. She really had to stop worrying so much. She began to walk home again.
"I wonder what made the little guy so scared though," Sonny muttered.
*crunch*.
Sonny shrieked. Or at least, she tried to. A split second after she heard the thing, the beast knocked all the air out of her lungs with a single swipe of its claws and proceeded to eat the look of terror right off of Sonny's face.
.................................................................................................... ....................
"What was that?" The Mayor Seon looked outside the window.
"Nothing I'm sure," the figure said. "Probably just some dog barking."
"We don't have dogs in this town..." the mayor muttered and took his eyes off the window. "Well, do you want some more tea?"
"No thank you. I've had enough already. So, by the way Mr. Mayor, where is it?"
"Where is wha..." the mayor's eyes widened in horror as the figure's face began to change form.
"It's YOU!" the mayor screamed and grabbed for his sword
Morning after the stormy night. Rain had slowed to a slight drizzle and the wind had calmed significantly. Still the accursed storm cloud continued to gather above the godforsaken island. It seemed as if the term was coined specifically for this particular island. Forsook by god.
Crows gathered above the forest. Below, the body of Sonny lay chewn to almost beyond any recognition. Around her lay footprints of some creature. Something half-man and half wolf...
"It's a werewolf track!" One of the villagers said. All the villagers looked at eachother and fled back towards the village, leaving the remains of Sonny to be feasted upon by crows. The ravaged remains of a 21 year old and the presence of werewolves would not be the last of the horrors that the village would face today, however. When the terrified villagers ran like sheeps towards the mayor's house to inform him of the disaster, they found the mayor's wife weeping in the courtyard, her 14 year old daughter huming and flapping her arms as if she was a bird, and the butler attempting in vain to console the wife. When asked what happened, the butler simply told them to visit the mayor's room.
Several of the villagers shrieked in horror as they opened a door to the mayor's room. The remains of Sonny was nothing compared to the hell hole that the mayor's room had become overnight. Blood, flesh, and bone fragments of the mayor covered almost every single surface. In the epicenter of the explosion, an ornate sword of black material lay halfway out of its scabbard. A particularly brave soul walked into the room, stepping on body parts and wading through the swamp of blood to retrieve the sword. As soon as he rushed out of the room, another villager slammed shut the door. They would be back to investigate later.
Panic erupted from the villagers. Travelers did so too when they heard the news. Nobody would come and save them while the storm cloud was still gathered outside. The merchant's sloop, only ship capable of reaching other islands, was beached during the last night's storm and had its bottom scraped clean off.
The survivors of the village gathered into the inn, unsure what to do. On the bar counter lay the ornate sword of the mayor as if it was expecting a new owner.
Day 1 begins. For a successful lynch during this phase, 2/3rds the people present must accuse the same player
Votes for the Mayor's Sword is to be done in magenta
This phase ends at August 25th 12:00 AM EST.

Excuse me good sir, but I am unfamiliar with this "bat man," in fact, that sounds suspiciously like wolf man, meaning werewolf of course. I'm afraid I simply cannot advocate your receiving this clearly valuable weapon. I would instead say that the retired captain Autolycus should receive the sword, after all, he is the one who most likely has experience with weapons.

"Strawberry is always so clever. I bet he'd know something about the strange sword. Besides, he's too old to harm anyone with it."
The child giggles at the innocent insult he just delivered before running off to his mother.
"Mom, mom! Last night I dreamt about this giant bauble of glass, filled with enormeous, dangerous insects. And everyone was trying to lift the bauble to let the killer insects free, because the mayor wanted to build his summer residence where it was lying!"

The retired captain comes stumping out of his house on a peg-leg, looking highly displeased
"Alright, not only has someone started killing people, but my scimitar's been stolen! If whoever took it returns it to me by the end of today, there will be no repercussions. Lanun don't steal from Lanun. But while it's missing, I, Autolycus am perfectly willing to use the ornate sword of our late Mayor. Although it looks a bit too jeweled to be really practical."

I'm sorry, I meant to say, myself, Autolycus, I'm afraid I caught a bit too much sun on one of my raids, and it occasionally causes my speech to get harglebargle sturienog .... confused. Hence why I retired.
With a sigh, the captain sits back on a bench in the town square, resting both his good and his peg leg.
The Town Idiot appears attracted by the shinyness of the sword. "Sword is shiny thing!"
Upon realizing he didn't know what to actually do with it he, decided to vote it to Autolycus.

Taking the eyes of the masterpiece he looked around him only to find his admiration of the sword shifted with the disgust he felt towards the town's idiot. "pff Riff Raff, under more peaceful circumstances I would have him tossed out", the brave watchman found himself thinking. Finally after his mood was ruined by the appearance of the town's idiot, it was just as quickly recovered, when he noticed his former captain. The best captain this town had ever had, he often told his friends. Learning that his former captain had lost his sword, the brave and ever vigilant watchman burst out in anger
"Captain, my quarterstaff was stolen as well! I urge you to rejoin the guard, we need you more than ever. Please Autolycus take the sword, the Mayor had left behind and lead the guard once again."

The poor lonely grape farmer asks for the sword, and hopes he receives it in gratitude, because the grape farmer has never had a mayor sword before, plus it would be great for cutting the vines for extra wine! However the grape farmer has to think about who looks suspicious and should be reported to airport security.

"Mommy mommy look! Its so pretty!" cried the little girl as she pranced around on the lawn, oblivious to the events of the day.
"Wheeeeeeeeeee!"she yelled at the top of the lungs, her cheerful demeanor a stark contrast to the dour and stern faces of the other village folk.
Suddenly, her gaze sat upon an object, and she thought immediately to herself of how shiny and lovely it was.
OO! Mommy mommy! Can I have that sharp stick pwetty pwease, I promise I won't hide it under the bed this time. You will give it to me right, mommy? *pouts*

"I..." Touched by the old captains sharp memory, the watchman could not hold back a tear, that slowly descended down his cheek. Tears were for women and children, not brave young handsom watchmen, so he quickly diverted the attention on the child that were making fun of the retired captain
"Where is your mother child?! We are having a manly talk here, and this is not the time nor place for games and tricks. Go play with the mayors child, she may need some company in these troubled times!"
Feeling proud by the way he handled the situation, the townwatch, once again turned to the retired Captain
"I am sorry that you must be harrashed by naughty children.. A firm hand with thunder and lightning is the only thing they respect.. rascals. I must be off on patrol, but my fellow watchman should turn up soon. he goes by the name of captain C.

Law and order was the formal greeting of the townwatch
Arr, I be no man of many words, but I CAN use my hands reasonably enough. So give me, Joooray the sword and I can upgrade it beyond your believe.

The scholar had been busy thinking about how much higher his IQ was than everyone else's when he heard the news of the double death.
Well this is bad news for the town, but in the end there is nothing to fear as long as I'm the case. Let me assure you people, do not panic; now I know this tendency of your kind but please, resist the urge. An entire panicked town is not the thing we need right now.

And second of all, does everyone else fail to notice that Jolt, the traveling actress just happens to be in our town at the same time that this werewolf business pops up?

Alexander finishes playing, stands, and elegantly bows to the crowd. Then he turns to the watchman
No no no my friend, do not send the child away. Can you not see that my fine tune has enchanted her, whisking the sadness of death from her. It would be cruel to send her away, especially at a time as dangerous as this. Thunder and lighting may deal with criminals and vagrants, but a child is better soothed with a reassuring word and a kind smile.
Turning to the young girl, with an exagerated gleeming smile.
Now child, this toy is not for you, you might hurt yourself. Would you not rather have a pretty doll? I'm sure your mother would much rather you had that. Speaking of your mother, where is she child, I would be just delighted to meet such a fine woman, and to sooth her in this time of need.

Ah, finally a Lady enters the conversation.
The Guitarist kneels down and kisses the hand of the herbalist
A pleasure madam. I'm sure the watchman can wield a sword ably enough, but to protect you in times such as these you need a man with a certain, flair, wouldn't you say. A man that knows the finer things in life, a man upon whom such a flower as you shall not be wasted. Worry not my lady, for I can satisfy all these demands. With me watching out for you, no beast would dare strike.
Alexander flashes a dazzling smile at Diana before returning to his feet.
Worry not, The Great Nightbringer, who has dazzled thousands, defeated the terrible Black Knight of Helmsted, scared off the beast of the Pitch Bogs, and won the affection of every lady that has heard him play, and I might add, kept his virtue sacrosanct throughout; will protect you.
Alexander gives a little bow after this pronouncement and settles back into his chair.

Midday 1 Update
They say that of all the gods, Mammon is the most influential. Greed is a vice that almost everyone, from the fairest citizen of the Bannor to the vampric overlords of the Calabim, have. The poor saps who found themselves in Inavi was of no exception. Soon enough, the ornate sword of the late mayor found itself in the hearts of the debate between almost every people.
Finally, one villager grew restless. "We can't just stand around like this, we need to find out who would have killed the mayor and Sonny. Besides, we can't leave Sonny's body outside like that. I say we go there and investigate the area...and recover her body.
The villagers murmured among themselves. Couldn't they see quite clearly that it was done by a werewolf? What if it was still lurking in the forest? Besides, some argued. Investigating the crime scene would surely distract the people from the real thing that needs to be done. That thing being catching werewolves.

When someone had died or was dying or was so ill they gave up what little hope they
could sacrifice, they cut parallel lines into the cliff, exposing the white chalk beneath.
With the right eyes you could see them from the mainland or the fishing boats and
know to send aid or impose a cordon of protection, and wait a generation until
whatever pestilence stalked the cliff paths died along with its hosts. My lines are just
for this: to keep any would-be rescuers at bay.
Evening Update 1
Evening again. The accursed rain once again began to pour from the clouds. Seas seemed to howl as the speed of the wind approached unprecedented level.
Meanwhile, the two watchmen that were sent to investigate Sonny’s body cursed the gods and the other villagers for sending them out alone in such a weather condition. But that was mostly their problem and surely not of much notice to the other villagers.
“But mommy!” the Mayor’s daughter, shouted. “I want daddy’s pokey stick. Give it to me! GIVE IT!”
The blacksmith, Romanic, laughed. “Don’t worry. I promise I will give it back to your family later.” The other villagers nodded in agreement. Surely someone like the blacksmith would be the one to take care weapons in a dangerous circumstance like this. The mayor’s daughter walked to the corner of the inn and pouted.
“Hey! They are coming back!” the Traveling Actress shouted. She pointed outside the window at the two silhouettes walking towards the inn. Sure enough, the watchmen burst angrily through the door, soaked to the bones. “I need a towel,” the first watchman demanded.
“Well,” the innkeeper asked. “What did you find?”
“Nothing!” the other watchman snapped. “Absolutely nothing. Nada! Just a half eaten corpse of a young lady which we buried in the town cemetery. You should really try that out sometimes. It really is a unique experience. Trying to dig a hole and bury a corpse inside it while trying as hard as you can not to look at the ravaged corpse. I felt nothing like that before!”
“What he’s saying,” the first watchman said. “is that the whole affair was a bloody waste of time.
The villagers all broke into chatter. They couldn’t believe it. There was a werewolf among them and they had just wasted the first day.
“Screw this,” somebody said. “I’m going home. I need to sleep,” “me too.” “me three.” One by one, the villagers left the inn, trying as hard as possible to forget that the whole affair even happened.

Morning Update 2
The rain and the wind had now died back to the annoying drizzling and slight growls now. Still, the storm clouds continued to gather and now people were starting to feel the general sense of unease about the whole place.
The first Watchman and the Village Elder was hovering around the crime scene. Herbalist came rushing in, took a single look at the crime scene, and then fled mumbling something about another appointment at the inn. "So," the Watchman mumbled. "What do you think?"
The elder raised an eyebrow. "You must be joking."
"Oh wait!" the Watchman mumbled. "I have a secret weapon right here!" he took out a small bottle.
"What is it?" the elder asked.
"It's some kind of magic fluid I got from mainland," he said as he sprayed the liquid inside the bottle around the crime scene. "Just as I thought..." he mumbled.
"What? What happened?" the village elder looked at the crime scene, which was now glowing ghostly blue.
"It seems that the entire area..." the Watchman paused for a dramatic effect. "Has been saturated with semen."
The village elder's eyes nearly popped out of its sockets. "IT'S BLOOD, YOU IDIOT!" he yelled. He then immediately stormed off towards the town.
"What? Blood? But that means..." the Watchman sadly turned back towards the crime scene and at the ravaged corpse of Joooray. "Yeah, the guy's dead." He took off his hat and offered a small prayer to whatever gods the dwarven tinkerer may have done. "Oh what's this?" he said as he picked up 3 spheres. It would be put to vote later.
Joooray was Innocent!
.............................................................
"I'm here, what did you want me fo...oh..." the scholar said as he walked into the bar. The innkeeper grimly greeted him and pointed to God Emperor's naked body. "So, what's your opinion of it?"
The scholar took one look at the body. "Did you call the herbalist yet?"
The innkeeper sighed. "Yeah, she took one look at the body and fled as if the world was out to get her or something. Your opinion?"
"The guy's dead," the scholar said.
The innkeeper sighed. "Even I could tell that, Mr. Intellectual. What I want to know is how he died, why is he naked, and what the hell is he doing in my inn."
"Oh," the scholar said. "Perhaps it was Colonel Mustard in the study with the...no wait that wouldn't work..."
The innkeeper sighed. "Well, I guess I should move the body to a place where it wouldn't bother other people. Could you help me carry his equipment?"
The Scholar nodded and tried to pick up God Emperor's equipments. Something fell to the ground with a clattering sound. "Oh what's this now?" the scholar said out aloud as he picked up the object. It was a Bejeweled Scimitar.
God Emperor was Innocent!
.....................................................................
Now the villagers crowded themselves into the small inn. They all glared at each other, unsure of what was to happen.
"Uhh..." one of the villagers tried to break the ice. "Why don't we go and search the Mayor's room? You know... for clues..."
The Watchman opened his eyes. "I am SO not burying that body."

He pauses for a second, before blushingly stating, "Death is Yonder can have them. He sends the girl an emberrassed glance before his attention is caught by another marvel; the wondrous weapon of the late God Emperor. Once again, his first reaction is greed, and he stares in amazement at the beauty of the item, before shaking his head. "CaptainC would need it, I think!"

Sadly nothing came out of investigating yesterday. I, the grape farmer, think that investigating today will result in a positive outcome. As far as the beautiful items being put up to host I would like the 3 spheres and give wideye that bedazzled item.

I think I deserve the scimitar.
I also don't think investigating is a good choice.

08-26-2010, 21:58
The captain looks surprised at the sight of his blade, but the surprise swiftly shifts to anger.
That basjargle! He just wanted to give me the mayor's sword to salve his guilty conscience!
The Scimitar is mine. We may be a nation of pirates, but that does not excuse theft from among our own kind. Please, return it to me.
I don't think that investigating is sufficient action at this time. remake20 is as good a candidate as any I've seen so far for the orbs, although I may change my mind, and I will be more inclined to give them to someone who helps me reclaim my scimitar.
I will share my thoughts of who must pay the ultimate price in our quest to save our town later.
Entering the inn shyly, the miller crumples on an isolated bench.
Oh... Autolycus is right about all that... the scimitar is his, give it to him, won't you? And remake is a good choice! Grapes, orbs, how different can they be?

The child looked at the angry autolycus with respect in his eyes. "You can have it back," he says, naïvely as if presenting a gift [unvote; vote: autolycus]. "Can I try holding it, though?", he adds with boyish fascination gleaming in his eyes.
Why are you all voting for remake to get the orbs? Theres no reason he would be able to use them. Looks very scummy to me.
Frozen In Ice
08-26-2010, 23:00
Two deaths yet again. At least our adversaries are consistent. That's also good that Autolycus has found his scimtar again. Hopefully he can put it to good use. However I dare say that I, the Scholar, have a much greater chance of determining what the sphere's do than some grape farmer.

I bet that the murderers are among the 17 who voted to investigate (not including the two dead and my daughter; why would she kill her own father?). Nightbringer, I've never trusted you....

The ol' captain, Autolycus, should get his blade back by his side, and :daisy: the blasted thief that stole it in the first place. Frozen In Ice oughtta tell us something about them there shiny contraptions being a scholarly know it all type. *And with that, the young fisherwoman took her leave, back to tend to her stand.*

Alexander looks shocked when his name is mentioned in a tone so far removed from the usual fawning admiration he is used to.
My Lady! I am shocked to hear you speak so ill of me. I am most truly sorry I did not see you enter, but I hope we may put this behind us. I can asume you, that I, Nightbringer, have a gleam in my eye for no reason but your own beauty. Alexander bows and whisks his hat of his head as he says this, before standing and flashing a bright smile to the mayors wife.
About the matter at hand, I agree investigation did not help us then, but perhaps this second time will be more fruitful, after all, surely a clue must be hidden somewhere. Secondly, we have no real leads at this point. I can tell you from experience, that clever investigation is the true secret to finding a werewolf. Alexander gives a knowing nod to the audience. I tracked down the Mad Werecat of Tolbrook by observing her pattern, and positioning myself so as to be her next victim, allowing me to fell her with ease. Alexander gives the crowd a little wink as he says this.
The scimitar should of course be returned to its owner, autolycus, and I think the adept the wisest choice for the orbs.
So was that an aye to the investigation, nightbringer?

Remake20 The scholar Frozen in Ice is a very sensible choice to be given the orbs until we decide what to do with them. Although it grieves me to call for another's death, I think that the time for action has came, so I say that spL1tp3r50naL1ty- must die. Everyone knows that in case of hurdejsdada doubt, assuming the butler did it is not a bad starting point. Besides, for whom exactly does he buttle?
Diana Abnoba
08-27-2010, 05:00
I think that Autolycus the Retired Captain, should get the scimitar, and the orbs should go to Frozen in Ice the Scholar. Please study these and tell us what they do good sirs.
As for our action today, I believe that we should investigate once more to double check if it will give us some clues.

Remake20 The scholar Frozen in Ice is a very sensible choice to be given the orbs until we decide what to do with them.
Can I have a penny, good sir? Thank you sir. You did decide, good sir -- you decided the Grape Farmer remake would be a better choice for the spheres than the Actress Jolt. You called him the best choice thus far, good sir; I heard you. Now you change your mind, why sir? Perhaps because someone had questioned the motives of those who would eagerly gift things to the Grape Farmer, things he had not earned and had no reason to call for?
Am I making you nervous, sir? I'm sorry. I don't want you to be upset. I just want you to die. (Autolycus)
The Beggar Girl turns from Autolycus, and her eyes fall on the jeweled scimitar. Her eyes fill with tears. Just one jewel from its hilt represents more money than she's seen pass through her hands in her entire life. She knows she has no call for it, but she will ask, she will ask regardless.
(Renata
Frozen in Ice)
Getting up nervously, the miller musters the courage to speak out.
All of you, stop wasting your time with that idea of an investigation! Everything was fine before strangers came in here! We were farming, and milling, and fishing in peace! And bartending! But Sonny is dead now, and that is no deed from a local... werewolves don't seem subtle to me, they would have eaten us long ago if they were among us! Let's put all those that just arrived on a raft and send them home! Or we will all die anyway. We will ALL die!
The miller looks expectantly at the villagers who wanted to investigate.

I said that the grape farmer was the best choice so far, and then the scholar put himself forward as a candidate. Girl, the reason why I decided the scholar was a better choice for the orbs was very simple. He has supported me in reclaiming my property and the grape farmer has not.
Furious, the miller turns to the innkeeper.
Stop fooling around! Her generous breasts tremble with rage. And stop talking to me as if I was a man! All I'm trying to do is move you into doing your duty men! We have to cleanse the island of the foreigners or we'll be eaten alive... It's simple peasant logic!

Because the grape farmer's a local.

That basjargle! He just wanted to give me the mayor's sword to salve his guilty conscience!
The Scimitar is mine. We may be a nation of pirates, but that does not excuse theft from among our own kind.
The clerk raised an eyebrow at this outburst, and voiced his concerns immediately.
"I see that the others have followed your little tirade and opted to give you the scimitar", he said firmly, eyes narrowed as they scanned autolycus for top-to-toe, "but what proof have you provided that the blade belongs to you to begin with?"
He then turned to Romanic, with whom he had opted to hand the mayor's sword to the previous day.

Midday 2 Update
A day and a half has passed since the first murder occured in this peaceful island. A day and a half since rain first started to fall on this island. A day and a half since the wind first started to gather. Some people have begun to notice the overbearing sense of unease that was draped across the island.
The discussions about whether or not to investigate the mayor's room was reaching a climax. Although most people seemed to abstain, most of the others who expressed their interest agreed to investigate the room. If the discussions continued in this trend, surely the village will investigate and probably waste another day.

Apologies my friends for my belated presence, spiritual matters have kept me out of these procedings until now. (OOC: I was away) Now, despite my considerable years, I have never been in a situation like this before, but it seems to me that searching the good mayor's room will not yield much information in finding the werewolves that plague us. I think that young girl, Renata, has the right idea. So I will cast my vote on Autolycus on principle, seeing as nearly everyone seems keen on investigating.
Concerning the spheres and the scimitar, I have need of nearly no worldly possessions. As such, I will support DiY and landlubber.

Evening Update 2
The butler lightly stepped over the pool of dried blood inside the mayor's room. "Well, Watchman, did you find anything interesting?"
"Hey, did you ever think we would be finding anything here? The dude EXPLODED for crying out loud. What clue did you think we would be able to find?"
The butler sighed. "Nothing then? There's no clue that would pinpoint who the murderer is?"
"No, there isn't any," the watchman said grumbling. "Another waste of our...hey, what's this?" The Watchman picked up an object from the floor and examined it. The butler and the watchman looked at each other. Was there anything like this in the room before?
...........................................................
"It's still raining?" the scholar moaned as he listened to the howling of the wind outside. "This is so....unnatural..."
"IT'S MINE!" the Mayor's daughter shrieked, snatching the spheres away from the scholar's hands.
The scholar looked at the other villagers as if looking for help. The other villagers shrugged. "Come on, dear, I will give it back to you as soon as I figure out what it..."
"NO! Go away!" the mayor's daughter screamed as she ran out the door. The mayor's wife soon followed, begging the daughter to come back. "And thar she goes," muttered the retired captain. "Well, I will be taking my beloved scimitar back." Almost nobody stood to stop him, although the beggar girl never quite stopped looking at the sword. At its masterful craftsmanship and magnificent jewels...
The retired captain stood awkwardly. "Do you mind?"
The beggar girl never gave a reply, for at that moment a 6 feet tall gorilla chose to enter the inn.

"It's me, you headless chickens," responded the watchman. "I have discovered decisive evidence! Something to put an end to this entire fiasco!"
Everyone gasped. "Well," the blacksmith said. "What is it?"
"It's the Mayor's diary!" the watchman gumshoe said as he pulled out a bloodstained book from the bag. Everyone gasped once more.
"Uhh...pardon me for asking," the blacksmith asked. "But...ummm... what does it say?"
"Oh I couldn't read it. It's written in some other language than Lanun," the watchman responded. Somebody among the villagers facepalmed. "That's it, I had enough of this foolishness. I'm going home."
"Wait! It could be dangerous!"
"What, do you want me to take a bath here too? :daisy: that. :daisy: that idea like :daisy: tour de :daisy:. Bye."

The miller gets up, all excited.
Forse posso leggere il diario dil sindaco! Ho imparato un po di lingue straniere con Mario, il mio primo amore... Huh...I was caught in some teenage memories. I chanced into learning spare bits of foreign languages... If the mayor writes of love affairs in that journal, I certainly should get all the vocabulary! I'd like to take a look myself if people don't mind...

Morning Update 3
The Grape farmer remake lowered himself to sleep. He was tired...espescially from that last night's escapede from that...whatevet it was... soon he felt the embrace of the dreamworld taking hold of him.
scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch....
Nothing would disturb him anymore...what was the chance of whatever it was coming back to kill him tonight?
scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch...
Stupid rats...he would have to take care of them tomorrow...
SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH....
Okay, that's it. The Grape farmer jolted awake. He would kill every single rats in this tow....
a figure was sitting in his bed, scratching something into the wall with a wicked looking knife.
"Hi," the figure said. "Do you mind?"
"No, not at all," the grape farmer moaned. He looked at the picture that the figure was scratching into the wall. Circle...letters written inside the circles... he knew he was doomed. He would be sacrificed to whatever god that this little figure believed in.
"Well, the gods who'se names will never be spoken...has spoken your name. Do you know what that means?"
"Wait wait wait!" the grape farmer shouted desperately. "Can't we talk about this?"
"Sure," the figure responded. "Do you have a bar of chocolate?"
"Umm...no?" the grape farmer responded. Last thing he saw was a knife heading straight for his eyes.
That was not the last thing he felt, however, as he kept on feeling hundreds of little pricks with the knife and the shrieking fiend until the moment his soul drifted away..
"That's...rather vicious..." the watchman said as he looked at the body of the grape farmer. His body has been drained of all its blood which was used to repaint the entire room pink. The herbalist rushed in and rushed out, mumbling something about another appointment at the mayor's house.
The scholar walked into the room. "You called me, watchman?" he asked.
"Yes," the watchman answered. "What do you make of that esoteric diagram thingamabob?" He pointed at the circle etched into the walls. Parts of it was painted red using the grape farmer's blood.
The scholar squinted. "I...do believe that's actually a roulette." The watchman took another look at the diagram. The scholar was right, it was actually a roulette.
"What's it doing here?" the watchman demanded. 'Beats me," the scholar answered. "This is one crazy town..."
Grape Farmer was Innocent
.............................................................................
"Thank you," the mayor's wife Vince said. "You are too kind. I heard that you were my husband's friend?"
"That I was," the figure chuckled. It was an empty chuckle, devoid of almost any feelings.
The mayor's wife figured out that something was wrong at this point. "Well, thank you for visiting," she said coldly. "But I am afraid you will have to leave now..."
"I understand," the figure laughed. "But still, I must ask you one thing. Where is it?"
"Where is what?" the Mayor's wife demanded. The figure roared out in frustration and outstretched his palm towards the Mayor's wife. Intense pain...
............................................................................
The butler Spl1tpers0nality was taking a stroll outside when he heard IT approaching. It was not e ven bothering to hide its footsteps...and there was nothing you could do to stop it... for a werewolf was a weapon of the gods, forged from the depth of Chaos's pit itself to bring about widespread panic and destruction to the world.
The butler swore. He would not be killed so easily. He began to run. It was useless, the werewolf cannot be outrunned. The werewolf easily cut his escape route and growled viciously at the man.
"Come on, doggy," the butler shouted. "Come get me!"
When a group of villagers came by the mayor's house, they saw the mayor's daughter skipping around, humming a little tune to herself alone. Nobody else, not the butler nor the Mayor's wife answered any calls.
The butler was the first to be found. His body, like all the victims of the werewolf before him, was ravaged nearly beyond recognition. The body...or the remaining trace left of the mayor's wife, was discovered next. She had died much the same way as her husband had been. The living room of the mayor's house was coated with the bits and pieces of the Mayor's wife.
Mayor's wife. Vince, and the Butler, Spl1t, was INNOCENT!
Solemnly, the group searched both of their rooms for clues...for anything that might shed light on the mystery that was surrounding the island. Who were the killers? What was their purpose?
They found a bag containing something in the butler's room. It contained...the villagers immediately put the thing back into the bag the moment they took a look. What the hell was that thing? It was a Strange Idol of some sort. Why did the butler have it?
People gathered into the inn once more. No more games. From now on someone will die each day until all the assailants were taken care of.
From yesterday's investigation, the Mayor's diary still stood on top of the inn's counter. It would be put to vote alongside the Strange idol today.

The child runs up to the mayor's daughter before he stops and hesitates for a moment.
"Can I come play with you? I want to try the new toys you got yesterday! Please?"
(Oh, and CDf, since we have to vote)
Didn't CDF and Captain C get replaced?
Ooh umm... Right. Will fix that later.

Oh, okay. CDf Jerry then.
Seeing the mayor's daughter all alone, the miller ran to her.
Poor thing! Poor...poor...come with me! I'll cook you a loaf of sweetbread and give you some herbal tea. I...I wish I could do more for you.
Oh...And I can try to read that diary. The idol, I wouldn't give to that poor priest of ours! It could be dangerous! Better let it on the ground.
And I still maintain...we HAVE to get rid of the strangers. That werewolf plague came out of them! I say Winston should be sent on a raft...unless he can prove he's innocent, or that another stranger should be sent instead!

As for what object goes to which person, I have no information to base my decision on and no opinion at this time.
If someone wants it, contact me and explain why. Otherwise I don't know who to give these items to, so I abstain from commenting.
I would also like to greet civplayah by escorting him directly to the block of warm welcoming, the wicker basket of cradling comfort, and the sharpened axe of peace and tranquility, on the wooden platform of sunshine and hospitality.

Let us give johnhughthom the idol. I think choxorn the idiot should djdfslfsf get the diary. Has any one seen link, the wheat farmer. He seems to be skulking around a bit too much.
"Since the Mayor's Diary is written in a foreign language and I travelled the world, knowing all the major the languages of Erebus, I would say I'd have a good chance of deciphering what the book."

Skulking, sir? He accused you and Galynea yesterday of having wanted remake to get the orbs because you shared most evil motives. This morning remake is dead. And innocent. I see a motive for killing him there, I must say, sir. And a false accusation of skulking as well.

Why should the diary go to the little girl? I fail to see why she would be able to read it. Plus, isn't it suspicious that every other person in that house has died? Especially when she hardly seems to care.
I agree the idol should go to theflax but the diary should go to the scholar.

Yes, I said skulking, girl. He's hung around the fringes of the town, occasionally putting in a word or two, but never taking a firm position on anything. I find that at least as troubling as those who have reacted to the current crisis by locking themselves in their houses and never coming out.

The orphan is acting suspiciously. He's just a kid, but still...
(OOC: Bad vibes from Post #205, I can't figure why he made that post. It looks out of place, it also rings like he's trying to convince us of something : "I'm innocent, I'm just a orphan/kid")

I'd missed that the wheat farmer's spoken up about items. Thanks for pointing that out, girl. Here, have a biscuit and run along.
Link, you're off the hook for the moment.
Where's that shipwright Jerry gotten to. I ordered my fishing boat months ago and he hasn't gotten it to me yet. Maybe he's up to no good.
And I was so close to letting you off the hook before that, sir. A pair of item votes to the obvious recipients doesn't negate a complete lack of accountability otherwise. The wheat farmer would be a solid vote. Jerry is just absent.
Why?
You are always highly interventive in the game, especially if you are a townie. Based on that reasoning, it leads me to think that you are pretty much up to something and wish to slide under the radar as long as possible.
The clerk scratched his beard.
"I think it's only fair that the mayor's daughter, Death is Yonder, should have her father's diary as a keepsake", he said gruffly, "and the idol would probably be best in the hands of a pious man such as TheFlax."
He refrained from casting a damning vote, however, as he didn't have a clue what was going on.

It only makes sense that the Idol goes to TheFlax. As for the diary, I'm sure I could translate it, but if the mayor's daughter wants it... I will let the rest of town decide that one. I'm also suspicious of Autolycus. His actions are like that of a beach chair that folds under the slightest amount of pressure.
"Knight to F3"
Midday Update 3
Something was wrong.
Something was always wrong with this island, of course, but today was something different. Arguements were much more viscious. People struggled for control over mere trinkets, and the disease of insanity grew amongst the populace.
People, however, marched onward through uncertain future like pawns on a chessboard, destined to die in confusion and panic. What were they marching on for, they did not know. To victory? Perhaps it is so, but why did this battle begin in the first place?
The mayor's diary and the strange idol may shed some light to this, but if they had any insights upon the fiasco, they remained silent.

My dear scholar, your reference to a beach chair is accurate, although I resent the implications about my stability. I am a retired captain. I came here to get a little rest. The beggar girl has been harassing me for almost a day now. She pointed out that the wheat farmer had expressed opinions about the items, which showed a commendable improvement. I therefore decided to acknowledge that and give him some time to take a position on matters of life and death, before I lay down to my afternoon nap. I wake up, and she's shrieking about my easing up on the wheat farmer. And I discover that you agree with her. I'm disappointed in you. A man of your education should know better.

The watchman? A bold claim from an innkeeper I say. But bold men have always...ruffled my feathers.

As for the diary, let the little one keep something of her father. (DiY) My father was a :daisy:, but I still wish I had something to remember him by, even if it's only to curse and swear at. Where is our Elder, Csargo? That old man always had something missing behind his eyes. Cold, distant old man, gives me the chills he does. Bah, I suppose the idol is safe with that priest fellow, Flaxy.
If you so will it, I will safeguard the idol and study it. As for the diary, I believe the scholar, Frozen in Ice will best be able to analyze it.
Also, I must say, there is something about that orphan, AICN, that disturbs me.

My tongue-garbled nature seems to be getting worse. My comments on the diary were completely confused and untelligible. The miller, Galynea can have the diary. She needs something to read while the grain is being ground.
Skulking, sir? He accused you and Galynea yesterday of having wanted remake to get the orbs because you shared most evil motives. This morning remake is dead. And innocent. I see a motive for killing him there, I must say, sir. And a false accusation of skulking as well.
Yes apparently I was wrong to insult the grape farmer, but I did not kill him. I genuinely suspectedf him.
Yes, I said skulking, girl. He's hung around the fringes of the town, occasionally putting in a word or two, but never taking a firm position on anything. I find that at least as troubling as those who have reacted to the current crisis by locking themselves in their houses and never coming out.
I'm not skulking. I read every post and say something when I deem necessary.

Well that's bogus reasoning. If I wanted to avoid suspicion I could just act normally and vote the items to someone random.
Based on that reasoning, I think your scumdar is broken.

The adept comes to from a trance-like practice session with metamagic.
"Oh, an Idol? Yeah, I could take a look at it. And, why don't we give the diary to Csargo, the Elder. If anyone can read it, it's someone with a century full of wisdom."
With that, he proceeds to sit down on a rock and teach himself Water Walking.

OOC;
Seon, you missed my vote, in the tally, for who gets the diary.
Renata, I think the Frozen in Ice the Scholar would also be a good choice for the diary, but I don't want everything to go to only one person (and he got something last phase) in this game as of yet. We really don't know who is mafia yet, and who is town. So I would like the spread the wealth (items) around as much as possible, until we do.
My vote choice, was just a guess since I don't know who the mafia are yet, and he is more inactive then others are. So 2 birds with 1 stone, get him out of hiding,or, if he is mafia great, if not at least my vote will not kill an active townie. I'm prob. wrong about him, but it is early yet.
The miller seems a little panicked, running from an end of the town to the other, waving a smoking raisin cake in the air.
Where is the mayor's daughter? I've not seen her all day...hope she wasn't mollested by anyone...with you all talking about her! DiY! You have to find a new home before the sun sets! Poor kid...poor kid...

Having spent several days sleeping off the worst hangover of his life, the Traveller finally recovered sufficiently to deliver his slurred verdict on recent events.
Why in the nine hells did I come to this horrible island? Seriously, if anyone knows, it'd be nice to find out. I have vague recollections of a tavern in Innsmouth, but after that it's all a blur...
And what's with all these weird murders, eh? Like that roulette thing. Creepy. It wouldn't surprise me if at least one of the Balseraph entertainers - the Dancer, the Guitarist, the Flutist, the Actress - is amongst those working against the town, so any of them might be a suspect. The Balseraphs do love their games of chance, after all.
Hmm... But the evidence points to a 'small figure' being responsible. And the whole roulette things seems a bit childish as well... You've been travelling with the Balseraphs haven't you, Renata?

I must say that I find it highly suspicious to sacrifice a clue as valuable as this diary in the interest of a keepsake fro a girl. After we read it, she can have it, but we need that information. I can't help but think that perhaps those determined to waste this clue don't want the diary read.

No, it was also based on the murder picks, but he is not the only one, I think, that would have picked the murder victims. So the inactive part came into play as well. It hasn't helped to get him out of hiding though. Maybe he is truely just inactive.
What I am trying to ask, good lady, is what about the murders points to Tiberius specifically (or to anyone else, for that matter). You are using it as reasoning, but have not explained.
