Aye, I agree, normally I'll check in multiple times between 20:00 and 24:00, yesterday I went out (~:cheers:) so I missed 5 bloody pages, I simply have to start all over again.Quote:

- Lurking is a viable strategy for Mafia (& other roles).
So, in the absence of more enlightening evidence, yes, I would.
It goes both ways though. There was one mafia game where the deadline was 1PM Eastern time. Except on weekends, it's very tough for those of us in the Eastern US, let alone California, to squeeze in that much mafia time while at work/school.Quote:

Well, a tie does result in no lynch as we have seen, so the option may not be needed. Apart from it being not a great idea anyway.Quote:

Well, GH is not really a lurker, you might have wanted to cut your list to include lurkers, because HughTower said(in the post you quoted) that lurking is a mafia strategy.Quote:

I will skip making an additional post and do it right now:
Unvote: Pevergreen
Vote: Omanes Alexandrapolites the Idiot
Why do you people vote for me! Anybody who votes me as of now gets challenged - and has to fight to the death and, trust me on this, my rating is quite high.
The description would seem to indicate that we were about equal in the Holmgang or that I got lucky with my defeating of Hughtower. Remember in the initial part of the battle -Hughtower struck first and did more damage. Only the berserkr rage and the disregard for my own death resulted in his death.Quote:

2. I got extremely lucky
I go with a combintation of both - Hughtower was either a jarl or one of the jotun and got cocky because of his high holmgang not realizing that he was picking a fight with this old war vetern who is serving his King. The fight was won because of the luck of the berserkr rage, attempting to step around a blade in a fight is a extremely risky manuever and takes a bit of luck to survive it. That old war veterns have taken wounds before and minor flesh wounds don't stop us from performing our duty probably help me overcome Hughtower in the end. That and the gods decided to intercide in my behave because my cause was more rightous.
oooooh, sounds dangerous :hide:Quote:

I'll be trying to do my job in the coming days, so just eat candy and rub balloons on your head.
I also have a really high Holmgang ability (I'm a God), so if anyone wants to try... :wink:
I'm not especially dangerous, or at least not really, I'm only a feeble and weak towniee after all, but you still wouldn't desire to challenge me.Quote:

Obviously, if it doesn't check out, then we need to know why.

I might as well make an early challange:
Challenge: Husar
Or is this too early?
Do dead individuals count, or was asking that stupid ? ~;)Quote:

Omanes,
Why Husar though ?
:balloon2:
He voted for me, me being beyond innocent, you people must learn that I carry out my threats. The same goes for anybody else who votes for me, it is evident that they are suspicious in some way or another. That is why I prefer to vote abstain rather than risk losing a fellow innocent and marking myself as guilty Jotun.Quote:

Death scenes for Sir Moody and for Hugh both depicted this. Dutch's did not.
Jotun will have high but not unbeatable scores in Holmgang (see ealier posts). I think we can bank on this.
Hagen was attacked and miraculously healed. He is either a supernatural or we have a doctor to thank. Hagen has aserted his humanity so far.
Hagen's being attacked confirm he is not a jotun, but does not automatically confirm his role as innocent (though the odds favor that).
Once again, we have no decisive vote. That old man's gonna be pissed.
Sorry to have missed the vote -- wrapping up my own game. Won't happen again.
:captain: Aye Aye sir! Let's get this ship sailing! We have two no lynch rounds so far -- okay it happens -- but the value of this for the town is progressively more and more limited as more of us are killed.
You abstained, claiming your abstention was proof of your innocence. Then you took affront when people questioned that statement. Then you change your abstain to something even worse, a random vote. Then you take offense when Husar votes for you, and you threaten anyone else that might vote for you. Finally, you dodge me, and challenge Husar, hoping his stats are lower than mine, because you suspect I might be a tougher challenge.Quote:

Challenge me as much as you will, I cannot die, in challenges I am an immortal!
Baloney. Sigurd wouldn't rig a game like this.Quote:

Then we should hang you in the Odins three the next turn.:skull:Quote:

So, your defense boils down to "trust me."
In a Mafia game?:dizzy:
I think I'm going to enjoy watching Hagen have at you.
He will never see me dead, even if he wins the challenge somebody else's blood will flow!
The day neared its summit and again the people of the three kingdoms gathered at the rune stone. The old Hovgod stood there waiting.
People seemed rather nervous and many looked at their feet instead of looking the old man in the eyes.
The old man shook his head and told the person holding the tally to come forward. “You must be the one they call Husar?” Husar seemed embarrassed of being the one to deliver the sad numbers to the Hovgod and coughed: “ .. eh.. yes.. it is”.
The old man took a quick look at the slate and exclaimed: “BY ODIN’S Ravens.” Somewhere close the 'Craa' from a crow or a raven was heard. The people looked up at the old man and he smiled a little. “You have done it again” he said with a bitter tongue. “A five way tie with only 2 votes on each… There is just unwillingness to get to the bottom of this isn’t there?” He threw the slate down and looked intently on the gathering. Then he walked up to Tom Hagen and put his arm around him. “Here is a man who would be dead this morning hadn’t it been for divine intervention. This man was stabbed 15 times in the heart but live to see the day. He saw who his assailant was. Go on Tom tell us.” Tom Hagen was still a little shaky about last night’s events and stammered: “I saw a Jotun. A Jotun attacked me while I was sleeping”. The old man continued: “Yes a Jotun… Here amongst us. This creature will try to slay all of you. The only way to kill it is by stabbing it trough it’s black heart. Now Tom here is obviously not a Jotun as he survived his stabs. We need to work together now to root out this vile creature and bring it here that we can send it back to Hel where it belongs.
As for today there will be no execution.

Pms please!!! deadline: 21:00 GMT+1 tomorrow.
But what can we conclude from that, from the (death scene) descriptions ?Quote:

:balloon2:
I will also challenge Omanes Alexandrapolites the Idiot! I will propose axes for weapons so i can take his head and put it into a spike, if i dont die before that.But if i die il be happy since i get to Valhalla where Jotuns look like Jotuns and men like men.
EDIT: Arent there others who wish to challenge this Omanes who claims to be immortal? Also i have thought lot about this whole lynching business and Maybe old man Sigurd can help us out. If maybe my fellow men are reluctant to lynch anyone becouse incase if we lynch someone who is innocent he wont get to Valhalla becouse he has not died in battle?~;)
--- ANNOUNCEMENT ---
There will be extended rounds this weekend.
I just found out that I will not be home at 21:00 GMT+1 tomorrow or Saturday.
I will add 10 hours to the next two rounds and the new deadline is : 0600 GMT+1 Saturday morning (Europe) and 16:00 GMT+1 Sunday afternoon.
Then back to 21:00 GMT+1 monday
Sigurd
Oh great, another round with no lynching.
I think GH is much too quiet.
Challenge: Orb
we must settle this once and for all...
