Just a warning, my activity will be limited this weekend.
Tincow: you think there are two killers (besides Pizza) still out there?
Then why were you so eager to have me lynched?
Leaving that aside: killers are the least of the Town's problems. Y'all done reaped the whirlwind...
Clearly your question was rhetorical, but I'll respond anyway.
I have no idea how many killers there are left. If my opinion on that question matters so much, I'll give you one after the night's write-up is posted. As for why I wanted you lynched, that was because I believe you were scum. That's usually why I want people lynched.
Yet it doesn't add up. Thus, your foolhardy vendetta has doomed them all. :shame:Quote:

Don't worry, your exhortations actually had no effect on the outcome. But it's even more twisted than any of us could have imagined...
“Where are they?” I whispered to the man next to me. I wasn’t really sure who he was exactly, but I knew from his face he was one of the folk who had supposedly enlisted to help with this. Sadly, it seemed the rest either lost their nerve or themselves along the way. He didn’t say anything, just shrugging.
The target for the time being, Choxorn, was examining a stone hoop emerging from the side of the gigantic, square room he was in. It seemed like an ancient precursor to our modern gymnasiums, perhaps for ancient ball games. There was an overly large circular indentation in the center, which is where he was currently standing, examining the edge. His curiosity apparently, he stepped out and started heading out to the other tunnel leading out. We were going to lose him! I motioned to the other fellow, and I made out like a bandit. Sword in hand, I charged at my prey, who turned in confusion on hearing my approach. I raised my weapon high, ready to strike him down… and forgot about the indentation. I felt a swooping sensation in my gut as my foot went sank deeper than I’d expected, and I flailed face first into the circle. Unfortunately, in my fall, I lost handle of my sword, which went skittering directly to the opposite side, settling right next to Choxorn. Still looking confused, he picked the sword up and marched on his merry way out the other tunnel. The second fellow with me walked up and offered a hand.
“Why didn’t you give chase?” I asked, exasperated. Once again, no response but a shrug. I sighed. Well, time to start over from scratch…
While we had discovered other temples in the labyrinth, the one we had followed GeneralHankerchief to was undoubtedly the largest. Its ceiling vaulted well over twice as high as the others, with massive seating sections carved from the marble itself into rows and rows of pews. GH was browsing around the pews, running a hand along the surface. I looked to the other two gentlemen with me, who gave nods of approval. I unsheathed my sword, and we three rushed from our hidden position. GH spun on the spot, hearing our approach. He vaulted over the nearest pew and froze in place. We started leaping the pews after him, and he began vaulting towards the end of the rows himself once more. I motioned for the other two to go for a flanking maneuver, and they both exited the seats and found themselves both making for the left side. Immediately recognizing our tactical error, GeneralHankerchief sprinted out of the pews in the other direction. Cursing at our luck, I ran after him, but he had a head start. I gave up as he ran into the labyrinth once more, and made a rude gesture at my comrades for their poor coordination.
It was time yet again for glory! I was running through the endless pathways, sprinting, basking in the liberation from being surrounded by others. My momentum carried me around a corner and I flew into two armed men, tumbling in between them. I managed to tuck myself into a roll and bounced up. The first man was tall, with a confident, fearless demeanor. The other was shorter, and looked alarmed at my appearance. Yes. Him. He needs my instruction. Grinning gleefully, I pulled my knife from my belt.
“Askthepizzaguy,” The confident man began as he unsheathed a pretty, shiny sword. “In the name of our emperor, I pass judgment upon you!” I cackled.
“You cannot pass judgment upon me, not until you have judged yourselves! Conquer your fear, revel in the bliss of its absence, and then you may judge me!”
The man grinned. His partner, Autolycus, still looked unsure. My chance! I leaped forward, and they both tried to cut me down. Autolycus, obviously hindered by his fear, missed me completely, while the other man sliced a deep gash into my side as I was in mid-air. A wound was nothing! I collided into Autolycus, and rammed my knife into his chest. I stabbed him again and again, not even feeling it when the other man rammed his sword straight into my back. I slammed my blade into Autolycus’ throat. His face, the fear. It was plastered across. Such a pitiable man, fearing the embrace of death. My lesson… it failed. I let my arms fall to my side, and I looked to the other man, grinning once more.
“You will join him soon. Do you fear the caress of death?” I asked. Fury stoked his eyes as he raised his sword high with both hands. I bellowed with laughter once more, at last, the world went black…
Blood seeped from the walls. Bones littered the floor. The face followed him. Haunted me. It whispered to me.
“He is foul. He defiles…”
Over and over again. The face of god, he called himself. How could I argue with god? I kill this man, god will reward me. God will make things good again. There he was, basking in a pool of blood. I gripped my knife. A servant of the divine. His protector, his sentinel. Yes, I would be the arm that delivered judgment.
No. Not him.
Another face! It was a wisp, swirling around me.
Another. Not him.
“No! He is foul!” The first one whispered again. “Serve the face of god!”
I am The Divine.
I panicked. What… no… how do I choose? Who… what is this second? Are they both god?
Suddenly, the wispy, second face vanished.
“I am the face of god…” the first one whispered again. “He... must die.”
I grinned widely.
“Of course, my god.” I would feel shame for considering to forsake the divine for an apparition, but I felt nothing but glee at having been chosen for such a divine task.
“Purge the world... cleanse it.”
Yes, the foul creature before me! Ishmael still lay on his back, floating across the surface of a massive pool of blood. I jumped in and buried my blade into his neck. He thrashed. I held him still. My knife, the tool of god. It silenced the thrashing. I pulled myself from the pool. Blood, everywhere. Soaked into my skin.
“You have done well…”
I- I'm at a bit of a loss. We clearly slew a great evil the last time we regrouped, but here we were again, with three fewer people. There were bitter faces in the crowd, along with faces still eager for vengeance. I sat down next to the scribe, who looked marginally more depressed than me. Still, I gave a wave of my hand to give my permission for them to go searching out the "next great evil".

Third time's a charm for killing me, it seems. I have no advice whatsoever on who to lynch, although I do think GH is townie.
Incidentally 'khaan, Montmorency is still listed as 'alive.'
I am thinking everyone Monty "blocked"*finger quotes here*, must be some kind of cross-over SK. GH is indeed a good lynch...I get tired of the "I am busy, so don't lynch me excuse" even if you are.:shrug:
GH has got to be scum, Auto's PM would simply prove that.
Vote: GH
Okay, this is ridiculous. First of all, saying that my activity would be limited over the weekend was simply a courtesy to you guys in case you were wondering where I went, nothing more. I never asked to not be lynched because of it.
Second of all, it's clear that people have been going behind my back the past night. The fact that only two people showed up to attack Choxorn (of which I was one of them) and the fact that the other three of them went after me instead proves this. I imagine that if someone else had changed their orders in on time I'd be dead right now.
Third of all, I'd be more than happy to list the exchange of PMs I had with autolycus over the past phase or two:
My initial PM to auto when last day's lynch was in doubt. This seemed to cover all of our bases and deal with the Monty issue for good.Quote:

Night 2 Ishmael and Monty said Double A was with them, and there was another red kill, so I think it's not him.
That leaves Visorslash, Choxorn, and Jarrema.
Pick one of them.
I think Jarrema is clean. See Montmorency's post, #381, for why.
That leaves choxorn and visorslash.
Visorslash feels slightly scummier to me, but please, people, do additional analysis, and claim night actions.
I feel like Visor was one of the townies who attacked me last night, since he was in on the PM chain. Choxorn, being the group's target, was obviously not included.
Vote: Choxorn
unvote, vote: Choxorn
Only Pizza. I mentioned this...Quote:

Note that there were 5 failed viggers last night - GH, please reveal their identities.
It's simple arithmetic, GH. There were 5 vigging, and two who weren't. At least tell us that Pizza wasn't in on it.
Auto PM'ed me, Double A, Jarrema, and Visorslash, asking us to attack General Hankerchief. The rest of them can confirm that.
Looking at the update, it seems there were 9 people active last night, exactly equal to the number of living players. 3 we can be completely sure about, 6 we can't:
2 people attacked me
3 people attacked GH
2 people (Autolycus and LazyMcCrow) attacked ATPG
1 person (ATPG) attacked Autolycus
1 person attacked Ishmael
Of the ones we don't know, I'd say there's a near certainty Ishmael was one of my attackers- he wasn't in on the GH hit, and he certainly didn't attack himself. GH also probably attacked me. If I'm wrong about this, and someone else attacked me, please say so so that we can solve the game more easily.
Assuming I'm right that GH and Ishmael attacked me, that means the Red Guy is one of the group who was supposed to vig GH. I know that I sent in orders to vig GH, and Double A and Jarrema seem innocent by Monty and Autolycus's logic.
Vote: Visorslash
both Visor and Choxorn claimed that they joined us.Jarema, Visor, Choxorn, Double A. Of course, someone didnt join the attack probably
I think it is either Choxorn or Visor
I must go sleep now and I have really hard day tommorow (I always work heavy at weekends, with external students).
For now, I vote: Visorslash. I'll try to think harder tommorow
GH is innocent, and so is Choxorn.
Gotta trust me on this.
GH can tell you why.
I don't know about anyone else. This has gotta be the last phase here. Don't screw it up, people.
Actually, penultimate. Assuming two kills tonight, there should be three left tomorrow.
I know of what you speak, but thought you had died too early for...
The people who were supposed to be in on the Choxorn hit group were myself, Ishmael, ATPG, Double A, and Visor. Only two of us showed up, and I was one of them.
People who participated in the hit on me, did all of you CC orders to each other?
Right now it's looking like I'm going to be in the direct path of a pretty nasty hurricane, so I may be without power starting Sunday-Monday. I'll try to get on when I can but no promises.
Right now I trust Chaotix (he was my initial partner and was a watcher), so I'll follow his advice on this one.
Unvote: Choxorn
Vote: Visorslash
Out of curiosity, will Double A be wogged if he doesn't vote today? It would be 3-in-a-row.
No, I will not be wog'ing at this point in the game.
