The Settlement [Concluded]

pay no heed

All PM's were sent late late last night (or early this morning). Some people still haven't read their PM's and I am still waiting for orders.

The game has started though (mods could please change the title to in play :bow:).

Just a helpful note, the entire game story was created to facilitate roleplaying, so this is one thing I would encourage (more fun) though of course, you can roleplay something completely different from your role or not roleplay at all. Your call. :bow:

Until we can call each other friend
The town in itself is doomed to end.

*nods solemnly in agreement with the above gentleman*

Well, I don't know whether I'm RPing or not. Depends on the mood.

This is a most convenient statement from a man who just yesterday was preparing to sell me into prostitution for being unable to pay my debts! If the "Jerks" want any cooperation out of us hard-working men, you had best stop exploiting your position and work towards furthering the good of us all, not just your own good!

*nods* We Good Men have no wish to exploit you. So we might lynch you. Are we not generous? (I'm still RPing this way since there's no clues yet)

If I may sir, and I don't wish to be intrudin' on your conversation sir, might I humbly suggest that rather than lynching your loyal servant, there might be some form of repayment which even us lowly serfs can afford? I'd offer to help 'im sir, but I only have half a farthing to my name sir, and I've been savin' it up since last harvest. I'd volunteer to work double shifts in the field planting corn for 'im sir, but I'm already doing that just to pay for the wooden pole you so generously loaned me. Not that I don't appreciate your generosity, sir! I am sorry for speaking out of turn, sir!

It is outrageous that this noble man of the working class, the honorable TinCow, is forced into prostitution!

Would one of the Jerks Good Men be so good to give me some money so that I can, eh, inspect the working conditions in the ehm, hm,... facilities on the corner of 42nd and Lafitte?

Oh, here you go, mister Andres- I would 'ov spent it on something wasteful like bread, or shoes.

:2cents:

Take my half-farthing. Please, enjoy yourself, for me. I'm working far too hard to go to such a place. I hear it's real purty inside with all manner of fancy things and women-folk. Just promise to tell me about it when you get back, and don't spare the glorious details.

Dear sir, do not take my jest as a threat of job redistribution, as though we were living in a dictatorship. No one is going to prostitute you.

Your frustration is with the lot in life you have fallen into. I see this. But should you blame this on others who lead a different life? Have not some of them risen from your very ranks?

And yet there are men here who threaten violence upon others, claim they have hidden arms waiting to be brandished in the name of bloodletting and wealth redistribution. What good would that bring upon this ship? We stand now as a people trying to survive until we reach out final destination, let us not make that destination here and now in these frigid waves, that hunger like an ice demon's teeth.


Would it be just, here and now, to upset our peace with the letting of blood, out of jealousy and greed? I would say sir, that if anyone here falls to such goals, they are prostituting themselves.

Well spoken. I may have misjudged you, if this is your true sentiment. I will gladly support any man, be he poor or wealthy, if he works towards the peaceful betterment of us all. I most certainly do not support the re-distribution of wealth to those that have not earned it. All men must work for their own meals, and if some work harder than others, then they should rightfully enjoy the fruits of their labors. However, it is critical to ensure that all men are given equal opportunities and equal treatment. It the lands we left behind, it was common for men who worked very hard to earn far less than those who did nothing except emerge from the proper birth canal.

So, my fellow settlers, let us not speak of class and birth right, let us simply speak of merit and value as men and women! Let us judge people based on their deeds, not their rank. If someone is found wanting, let us thrown them down, regardless of whether they be high or low-born; and if someone is found to be worthy, let us honor them up with praise and encourage further good labors!

Nobody cares if I DUEL ATPG right?:smash: heck, "The Good Men" might get a kick out of it:laugh4:......"two peasants fighting to the death".....:duel:

Edit:ATPG is being a spineless peasant.....better he die in a battle of pitchforks, then him being lynched.....:skull:

I am going to call you out ATPG.....Challenge:Askthepizzaguy. :duel:

Violence is not the answer! This has been demonstrated countless times in different states and cultures. Why, the Norse were commonly known to resolve their disputes in this manner, and look where it got them! We need to resolve our conflicts with words, not swords!

If you can demonstrate using reason, mister White_eyes, why I must be slain in battle, then I will accept.

Otherwise, I feel more valuable to my great king and the Good Great Men alive, forgive me sir. If the nobles truly wish me to die for their entertainment, I will also accept the challenge. But better for me to get back to me toiling. As a matter of fact, I find it odd you want me dead so soon. :inquisitive:

I was going to offer to be the first lynch, but at this point I'd suggest that if I am to be the first lynch, White_eyes should quickly follow, my lords. Otherwise I have no problem with death.


Shall we die together, White_eyes?

With my role???(a hovel and a not-so-good outlook on life?) HELL YEAH.....:smash::smash:
I just want to see two peasants fighting to the death.....if I live, lynch me.....if ATPG lives, you can lynch him if you want.....I just "hate" a spineless sellout....:inquisitive:

ooc-

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Better for a townie with a mediocre role to die than someone with better powers. I accept conditionally, if a bunch of people want me dead, then I will duel. I find your reasoning for this duel to be unusually stellar, by the way.

My mouth usually gets me lynched rather quickly. So there is zero chance I will survive this game.
There's always a chance the usurpers will want me dead nice and quickly. Letting me live hasn't worked out too well in certain games. You'd like to extinguish (presumably) two loyal settlers for what amounts to a peeing contest.

Suit yourself. :shrug: But frankly, I don't see the logic in this. And I don't think it's particularly good townie strategy. This is similar to everyone being a mediocre vigilante. As you know, those with vigilante powers are wise to refrain from using them unless they have good reason, because vigilantes do tend to cause as much damage as the mafia does if they kill every night.

Oh, and I've been r'ping a spineless peasant FOR FUN since well before I got my role, since the very first Good Men versus Men list.

I am willing to be the first lynch, I will vote for myself and not unvote. I am willing to duel. But I won't do it on a whim. As much as I enjoy roleplaying, I would be doing a bad job as a townie or as a mafia. And by the way, given this little interchange, and my resistance to death, will get me killed one way or another anyway, so mission accomplished, white_eyes.

Bye everyone, it's been a fun game. ~:wave:

Hmmm... imagine if the mafia murders White_Eyes tonight, and the town immediately suspects me and lynches me tomorrow. How convenient for both of us, White_Eyes.

:laugh4:

You know what? Go ahead, I accept. What the heck. When this game is over, I will laugh and laugh at you.

:shakehands:

Let's duel. I will lose, but I don't even care.

Challenge Accepted

You have been avoiding the wrath of everyone by making that your title.....:inquisitive:not something ATPG does.....nor do you care if you die, you always stay behind and make analysis's anyway:shrug:
Why so resistant this time? I mean it well be fun, watching two Peasants kill each other....:duel:


Edit: about time....and I give....about 50-50 odds....:lam:
Unless....your a retired war veteran under the Priest King Reenk....:knight:

As entertaining as this is to watch, I must point out that it is pointless. Challenges can only occur during the day. I'm pretty sure it's still night.

Let us not rush to judge the traitor our fellow peasent. He has just been led astray in the belief that the jerks toffs oppressive elite good men are somehow better than the hard working men.

He will come to realise that there are two kinds of men... the good men and the GREAT men, us the workers the core of our very civilisation are those great men each and everyone of us whilst the good men are the parasites that feed off us and keep us down!

That being said i am willing to put aside years decades centuries of oppression to focus on this usurper problem, only on the gaurentee that we, the workers, get a fairer deal from now on!

No more whips!
Free and fair elections!
Secret ballot!

This beggar for one is not going to stand around and watch men throw away thier best chance at ending the oppression!

Edit This potential duel sounds like a great way to kill of an innocent for the mafia!

Bad play!

Assuming White Eyes isn't mafia trying to get an extra kill....

Whatever you like, White_eyes. Duel me tomorrow or not, it's up to you.

I'm just here for everyone's amusement, I don't care when I die or how. :bow: Better me than someone else.

Question: If White_Eyes:D and ATPG have an equal battle-rating, is it coin flip time to decide a deadly outcome? Or do they just hit each other with fish until it's time to eat wild boar and bash the bard instead? :beam:

Fish? :inquisitive:

Can it be rubber chickens, please? :laugh2:
Or you know what, the Turkey from the Murder Manor game. Beat me upside the head with a wet, uncooked turkey. Any form of poultry, really, because I'm a spineless chicken anyway.

I also think of this as revenge for "Murder Manor":evilgrin:

Well, then you shall have it. :laugh2: No problems there. Choose your weapon:

The rubber chicken, the uncooked turkey, or the toilet plunger.

(chainsaw not included as it's not been invented)

I already accepted your duel, white_eyes. :laugh2:

It's a 50-50 chance.....I have a duel rating of 2.....:shame:

Does my lords wish to see this gruesome spectacle? I for one don't mind a particularly brutal slaughter, given my pathetic battle rating, but a challenge such as this is too tempting to turn down. I need some convincing not to accept it at this point! :knight:

Just by saying this, you are making ATPG a lynch candidate. If you're going to make a statement like this, you might as well spill everything, because the effect is essentially the same. The only thing you're achieving with the above is to make yourself look scummy as well.

no.....what I did was a mistake....(maybe).....but I won't undo what I have done....:juggle2:

No, no... he was just rolefishing, and I wanted to see how he'd react if I suggested I had a role. As far as I am aware, most everyone in the game has some sort of role.

Don't lynch White_Eyes.

I don't really understand how calling someone out for a fight can be helpful to anyone but those mysterious ones who seek to over-fro the wise Priest King Reenk Roink (gawwwds bless his shoiny helmet) Woi do it? Woi, Whoite Ois? WOI?

ie. No I don't really want to see you and White_Eyes dook it out with fish or turkeys - not unless the weaker one of you is up to no good. And it's night so it doesn't count anyway does it?

Do challenges 'refresh' come sun-up? :laugh4:

Again, I wish to be clear on this; I'm perfectly fine with being the first lynch, because I have got cow manure for a role yet again. I'm the wheat farmer, and I've got close to nothing for duel abilities. I'm just supposed to find the usurper, but I do get a duel bonus whenever it rains, apparently.

:juggle2::juggle2:I better hope it doesn't rain then......:sweatdrop:

Sirs, sirs, make calm your tempers!




It is but the first night since the sea beast paid our ship a visit. Let not your blood boil, but instead some water for a nice soothing tea.

If you wish to fight, do so on your own terms, and do not put this on the heads of others.

And you sirs, what is this rabble rousing and speaking of your selves as beggars? We are men on a ship seeking a new home. If you wish a new life, then make it so. If you can do nothing but live off of others as someone who must constantly ask for a hand out, how is that less of a parasite than of what you speak?

And taxes? We are citizen just as yourselves. We bare the tax burden just as you do. Many of us are no richer in money than you. Most of us toil in our labors, just and many of you do. And indeed, what respect would the state have for a wealthy man were he not to fork over more money to the treasury than another man?

If at the word and though of money ones lips begin to salivate, how different is that than a rabbid wolf with dreams of a piece of meat?


Please sirs, calm yourselves.

Here comes the senseless slaughter, as it is now too late to do anything to save my butt, I now must at least expose White_Eyes as being a role-less townie. That should at least help a little bit, given the mess. Might as well investigate him to be sure, after all... that means the mafia will probably want to murder him too as a cleared townie.

My initial PM was entitled: "Why I do not want to duel"

Lucky shot if you are mafia. And I accepted your duel.

If you are even a shred of a townie, you'd better drop this. I know I will die early this game, as I always do. I always freaking die. But I expected to last longer than the first round, thanks.

(snip- role details eliminated)

So yeah. Thanks for the duel. You will be sorely disappointed. I have a whole 2 rating.

If you want to back out; here is the only way you can do it and have me even have a chance at survival:

You have to be persuaded by logic and by popular support to back down, or we are BOTH screwed.

And if you do kill me, I will be very, very pissed, but you know what? I did all I could.
Believe me or don't. Take this public or don't. Call for my investigation, but even that will force me to be murdered by the mafia. I don't care.

This opening blunder hurts. But I will stay on and analyze after I am dead, because I at least know one other person who is innocent. But if you're mafia and you don't back down, I am not telling you who it is.

In fact, to be safe, I can't tell you who it is. Sorry... given this disaster on round one, I really, really have to do damage control, and I'm not making this mess any bigger.

---

Your gonna die tonight.....or I well......we well see.....if I don't, then this PM well go to my partner a "Good man" and he well make sure you and your "buddy" are lynched......and our roles are weird......:dizzy2: but I must laugh.....had you not acted like a spineless peasant you might not have drawn, Everyone's attention to the fact that you have a role.....:laugh4::laugh4::laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:

---

I am about to take this whole thing public.

I'm not happy about this. If I don't hear back from you, that is precisely what I am going to do.

I revealed to you that I am a Mason. That means, at any moment, you can murder me as the mafia, or expose this to the entire town. My life is in your hands, when I could have kept quiet about my role. The town was ALREADY against this duel, and I had to accept to save face.

You do what you like, but if I am murdered tonight, I will point the finger alllllll over you. One mason for one mafia is a GREAT trade.

---

........~:pissed:


Not happy.

A MASON is a TOWNIE who is aware of the existence of another TOWNIE whose innocence was confirmed by the HOST.

You didn't save my butt. You mentioned the contents of the private message. As such, the fact that I have a partner is exposed.

You have about ten minutes to persuade me not to post our entire interchange. No matter what you do or say NOW, it's too late. At this point, I feel as though the town needs to know what really happened.

---

no wait......:whip: I am just a townie.....even if you spill your guts you will only endanger your partner.....I didn't say you HAD one....I said he POSSIBLY had one....:smash:

---

It's a bit late. It's there for everyone to see. Why would I suggest I had a partner if I didn't have one, THIS EARLY???


I soooooo want to post this interchange.

---

well.....not much choice if you feel that way....I can't do anything....I am just a normal townie......:beam: besides....you did this to me before and you were Mafia then....:wink: and even if you take a chance now and reveal....it's too risky, since you might get your partner killed......:smash: and what well it accomplish??? killing you, me and your partner???

---

The way I see it, my partner is safe. Because no one knows who he is.

I'm as good as dead, due to your post in public about me revealing I had a partner. That means I am a mason, every mafia veteran knows that means I am a mason or the mafia. So I am dead.

You? That is the only reason I am reluctant to post this mess. I'm deciding whether or not to spare you, for killing me.

---

Your partner is (SNIP) .....now stop messing around.......:smash:

---

I am deadly serious. I already have all the PM's lined up in one big fantastic post, and I am itching to hit the post key. This will be my most spectacular exit from a game ever, AND I will have proven a point about how futile and senseless random duels are.

You need to tell me more about your role. If you have anything besides your basic townie, you have to tell me now, and in full detail, like I did.

---

I was rolefishing......and I found a Mason or Mafia......ME? a Farmer:brood: with a duel rating of two........

---

Quote:

---

Mmmk.

Well, It could actually save your butt and mine from the lynch. With a calm, rational head, I am now asking permission to post it.

---

(he gave me permission)
And so, posted with permission.

The way I see it, damage control is this: Yes, I am a mason. But I have no additional abilities, so that basically means I am just a townie who knows another townie is innocent. And white_eyes has no special ability either. And we would both make excellent murder bait, so I am happy with this being made public.


LESSON EVERYONE NEEDS TO HAVE LEARNED:

Pointless duels have disastrous consequences. Don't be too hard on White_Eyes, but we as a group need to not do this again.

:shakehands:

~:grouphug:

:bow:


You live, you learn, right? Bottom line is, Because neither myself nor White_eyes have a valuable role, it is perfectly OK to make this public. Being a mason is worthless without defensive powers and such. In order for the mafia to make sure I am not bluffing about having no special ability, they have to murder me anyway. That's good for town. If they murder White_Eyes instead, that's also good for town, if he's telling the truth. And finally, if this puts a stop to the senseless duels, then it will have made something positive happen for the game in progress. No real harm done, just some hilarious, hilarious and sad mistakes. :medievalcheers:



EDIT: White_Eyes edited out his mistake, but it was over a half an hour too late, and it's been quoted several times.

Okay, I'm completely lost. Can somebody:

a) sum up in a very concise post exactly what's happened, and
b) explain if what has happened has produced anything of worth?

Summary:

1. White Eyes challenged me to a duel
2. I was reluctant to accept the duel as I have a battle rating of 2 and I am a MASON
3. I begged him in private to drop it immediately, because I was a MASON
4. He posted that I had revealed in private I had a partner.
5. It was then quoted several times.
6. After debating it privately, I decided to make it public. It might save one of our skins.


As we both have no valued abilities, and terrible duel power, it was the only way to fix things.

a) ATPG and W_E challenged each other to a duel, even though it's night and they can't.
b) The only result is ATPG and W_E presenting WIFOM claims that they are townies.

I'm not nearly this creative, or sadistic.

Seriously, if this is WIFOM, then I need to get some kind of dunce award for posting it in public.

Our vote is all that counts, sadly:shame:.....and ATPG, was I right about your Partner?:2thumbsup: or was I off target.....(If he dies tonight you know I am Mafia.....:sweatdrop::sweatdrop:)

No, he was not my partner, but I snipped it anyway to leave him as a suspect to be my partner.

Okay, so in other words White_eyes is townie for the simple fact that he knows better than to get involved in this sort of thing in the first night round.

ATPG...

Concisity (is that even a word?), man, concisity. It makes things a whole lot less confusing for the rest of us. :bow: I think, in the future, I'm going to pull a Dog Whisperer and go "Tsst" whenever things need to get a bit more concise. -edit- Not meant to be mean or degrading or anything. I just thought you'd appreciate the South Park reference. :yes:

I still plan to go through with the duel tomorrow (If we both are not killed)......so this way town knows we are not lying (or at least I am not:sweatdrop:)

I'm done being upset now. It's now 1:17 PM and I haven't slept since before noon yesterday. I have to run. I feel as though a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I am fine with whatever the outcome is.

And white_eyes... seriously, leave the duel alone. It won't prove anything to anyone. Some are skeptical as it is, but I gotta tell you: If I am lynched tomorrow, that would be a fitting reward for trying to reason with you in private.

:laugh4: :clown:

This is actually pretty funny. Don't feel bad, dude. Just do me a favor and help me bag the mafia this game. I have to go to sleep. See you guys later.

Sorry, I spoilered it all. And I wasn't going to leave anything out of that gem. It seriously needed to be read in its entirety.

I'll be shutting up for most of the rest of the game, as promised. Did NOT see this coming.

This is seriously the best fake role I could come up with on the fly. :shame:

Concisity (is that even a word?),

Pretty close, Consistency... I think...

That whole thing has just cast a little suspicion on the two of you in my eyes. Of course its probably just an accident that got out of hand... like it looks... but it could of course be a well planned strategy to almost assure innocence is assumed...

This is why i feel i must react with a little suspicion to the whole thing...

Im glad your not dueling at least!

Back in midgaard we tried to control the dueling to an extent, though TBH it never got done right, the only time a mafia was involved in the duel he was up against a normal townie and won without it increasing his suspicion. I think there where only 2 players that game that could beat mafia in a duel and one of them was lynched first round...

What we need to make town organised duelling work is some kind of duelling expert... porbably only 1 or 2 here that can beat mafia.... and then a clearly defined suspectlist that we can work from and almost pick the fights we want to see...

and this part is essential, we make it a town agreed event, anyone who doesn't agree with the majority decision should be lynched to ensure it is done by the will of the town...

ohh and down with the jerks!

I am not a humble beggar by choice, given no start in life i was left to fend for myself, ever since i have been a sick man barely able to work due to my numerous afflictions which came from a life on the street...

I'll be shutting up for most of the rest of the game, as promised. Did NOT see this coming.

Ok... is this a pre emptive hissy fit based on a possible first round lynch or what....

In other words don't shut up!

plus the spineless peasent thing was hysterical!!

you can keep that up for my entertainment at the very least!!

No, not a hissy fit; I had promised after Godfather to tone it down, and given what just happened, I already had to open my mouth just a bit too much for even my taste. I don't want to annoy anyone or ruin anyone's fun by yapping.

I'll go back to roleplaying tomorrow, if I am still alive.

Conciseness, I believe is the term you are looking for gentlemen..

How the usupers' plot was uncovered by the priest king only to have the settlers take control of the investigations

In the depths of the night an man slowly limped across the swampy trails surrounded by partially constructed structures of the settlement. He stopped suddenly in a marshy clearing and simply stood there for a few moments until a dark mist descended from the sky. The mist formed itself into a humanoid figure and handed the man a scroll.

Nothing was said, as the man nodded and the misty figure dissipated. The man then limped slowly back to the settlement, towards the temple complex.

Meanwhile the priest king paced along the unfinished halls of his temple complex. It had been a dozen days since the ship was beached on this swampy strip of land that was now his settlement and a dozen more since the attack of the sea creature. The disappearance of the dead slave still weighed heavily on his mind and he examined the amulet of Vode wrapped around his fingers. What could it possibly mean? Why would the god of wars and foreign peoples send such an omen?

Reenk Roink had time to reflect on such questions in the silence the dark brought. During the day, the immense tasks that needed to be completed along with the bickering between the settlers on socio-economic issues scarcely allowed for contemplative thought.

Somewhat jaded that he was in such a situation with such people, the priest king began to walk back to his chambers. At the door he spotted a scroll lying on the floor. Looking around, he reached for a sword placed against the wall with one hand while picking up the scroll with the other.

Breaking the seal, Reenk Roink slowly unraveled the scroll. Written in the most exquisite script were the words:

Quote:

---

Disarm your soul

---

A burst of energy suddenly emanated from the text right onto the priest king's handsome face. He was not even able to let out a sound as he collapsed to the floor.

---

Quote:

When light entered the priest king's eyes again, he believed he had went to paradise. Instead he saw the concerned faces of his Bronze Companions and a few priests around him. A feeling of disappointment overcame Reenk Roink as he looked beyond to see a crowd of settlers around him, who were also somewhat disappointed that the one they looked at looked back.

Dismissing the settlers, the priest king then was told by his closest advisers that he was found lying on the ground unconscious. The entire hallway of the temple complex and everything in it was totally scorched. Everything but the priest king and the scroll found next to him that is.

Hesitantly taking the scroll from one of the priests, Reenk Roink examined it again noting that the words had been erased and replaced with the symbol of OsiOsi instead.

The priest king got out of his bed and told his retinue to gather the people in the gathering hall in an hour. He then turned to the priests to get to the bottom of what had happened.

---

Quote:

---

In the Forest of the Gods, the god of wars and foreign peoples watched with a tinge of disappointment as the priest king Reenk Roink continued to walk about the earth. He turned to the god of the sky and questioned: "Why did you save him?"

OsiOsi, the king of the gods replied: "It is not for you to affect a matter that I have forbidden to the gods. You know well enough that you must act through your followers. If you plot anything Vode, know well that I also plot, and I am the best plotter."

A few things:

It's a remarkably BAD idea to go around discussing your duel ability or your role, or challenging people willy nilly. The more information we give the mafia the easier it is for them, and we don't know a whole lot about the dueling system yet. I'm wary of it after midgard where the system was misunderstood and it was thought that people were confirmed guilty/innocent from the description even when they weren't.

Second, the value of mason's is that they can confirm each other. By simply ignoring WE's post atpg could have avoided the whole thing. When you are about to be lynched, that's when you say "I'm a mason, I have a partner". It's a really strong claim because the mafia would have to reveal one of their own in order to make it. Now, in this game role reveal is allowed after death (just not pm quoting) so if your partner comes under fire you can step in to save him if you two are masons.

I wouldn't assume anything about anybody at this point.

Didn't get much sleep.

In my defense; I played it cool for several long minutes, several posts, even after the duel was insisted upon. I did panic, because of my terrible duel strength, and the fact that if I didn't even make a show of accepting his duel, I could easily be branded mafia or someone with a role. I could have just ignored it, but as I say; pressure does things to people. I was absolutely sure I was going to be exposed, even though to the rest of you, it might not have seemed that way. He was dead set on duelling me, and I played it as cool as I could until it got out of hand and I had to nudge him in private to stop, by revealing my role, possibly to reason with him to stop. After that, my role was exposed for everyone to see and it was too late.

My mistake was panicking under pressure. It happens to the best of us. I even use that as a strategy to get mafia to talk, even when I have a weak case or a fair but not conclusive case (See TevashSzat in Godfather). I know full well pressure gets people nervous. I am not superman... I panicked.

I have never been a mason before. I'm sorry, I didn't know what to do, and I played it as best I could, fake role and everything, duel challenge accepted, good humor, happy smiley faces, private reasoning to stop.... nothing worked.

I apologize. :shame:

It won't matter in the long run. We still have to find mafia same as always.

OOC: I'm just wondering if "I'm not Superman, I panicked" is good enough for a signature quote. Made me laugh anyway :2thumbsup:

So it seems Good old King Reenk gets pished and falls on is arrrrrse just like us common men then. Maybe.. ur hurr hurr.. Maybe 'ee 'ad one too many for the 'Vode' hurr hur hurrr.

*smack*

oo, sorry, sorry me lord.

It wouldn't have matter:no:....I should have challenged Sasaki....:inquisitive: because when one comes up with helpful advice like that....they are scum thinking in a mindset of a townie......(It's good advice though......:yes:) I used it on Godfather 3 and look how it fooled most of you.....not saying Sasaki is Mafia.....but why he is so nervous about duels is.....interesting...:clown:

I would have ignored it :laugh4:

You have stated that you're a peasant and your duel score is 2, is the town better or worse off after you revealed this?

Sasaki is correct. Fighting each other is a bad idea. The odds are that it will simply result in good, hard working men killing each other. Such challenges have never served any people well when trying to root out the evil in their midst, and I see no reason why it would serve that purpose here. The way that works best is the way of our forefathers: reason, debate, and analysis. All else is folly.

Yeah....Sasaki's Sig line is SO true....:mellow: but anything I do, could never make him panic....:laugh4:
but why so afraid of duels??? I feel they can be used to settle past grudges...(Reenk style:clown:) and I am willing to bet Mafia have much crapper duel scores....:smash:

Edit: I REALLY want to duel Sasaki and die....:laugh4:

Okay, apparently we aren't learning from our mistakes.

half of the entire reason I revealed all our pm's White_Eyes was to put a stop to this nonsense so we wouldn't accidentally relieve ourselves of MORE pro-town roles (or even basic townies) If you don't stop trying to duel people, especially with your stated poor duel rating, then you're being suicidal and possibly homicidal.

I am inclined to paint you as not a farmer, but rather as a jester or an actor trying to get lynched on purpose. Or as a person with a large duel rating who is using a bad strategy for the town. Whatever it is, I suggest you take a breather, re-examine your path forward, and realize you won't accomplish your goal, whatever it is, this way.

Drop the duels, White_Eyes, I am begging you, for the love of crumbs, just drop it. :bigcry:

Holmgang was a blast, but aside from Gods being revealed when they faced one another it was limited as a detection tool. It really only showed when one party was significantly weaker than another (at least usually, but not always) but not why the strong one was stronger.

Both have claimed peasantish roles with a score of "2." Do we know if this is a high or low score this time around? I'd guess lower is weaker, but assuming with Reenk in charge isn't necessarily wise.

Also, I like the reference to plots and counter plots -- signals that the mafiosi aren't the only power roles here (though that is not a huge surprise).

But....Reenk's duel system well go to waste, if nobody fights each other.........:sweatdrop::sweatdrop::sweatdrop:


Edit: Petition to the Preist King Reenk Roink Can you give a reward to a winner or something??? because at this rate, nobody is going to duel....and that makes me sad....:cry2: I am wanting some awesome write ups of people dieing in duels.......:brood:

Is it voting time yet?

What is a vote anyway? How do I vote... You know I voted once before. It went a little bit like this:

So I took the ferry over to Shelbyville; I needed a new heel for my shoe. So, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have any white onions, because of the war; the only thing you can get was those big yellow ones.

I like onions. I use them when I play.

No fights, it hurts, I will get cuts and cry :bigcry: let there be peace, oh lordy let there be peace! ~:mecry:

No doubt we'll have some duels later in the game.

While most common men and good men alike pressed their ears to their palms and dreamed.. of lands they once called home, and of the land that suddenly had become home, in which new hovels, bijou beach house apartments - testaments to their enduring power of the Roink might be built*: Part of the settlement (the part with the fire, roasting jungle chickens and ahem. crude songs) still buzzed with the conversation of an increasingly inebriated few...


"Farewell an' adioo to ye fair Reenkish ladieeeess, I'd give you a screewwww if you were my chippy's maaaate, though your legs are..."

"Shut up a minute! Theres queerness afoot on this here island and no mistake, an' all you can think on is gettin' yer bleedin' end away!"

"Pass that scrumpy!"

"Moy foots' all gone manky again..."

"So with all that kerfuffle with them funny types...whatwassit? Woit Oies? an that Pizza fellow, clever one?"

"Yarrrr. Might be a scrap on tomorrow"

"Yarr, tanner on the fat one...whassis name again?"

"Woit Oies"

"..Yarr thash it"

"Orl roit... tanner it is"

"Yarr but I still don't get what the foitin's all in aid of. Don't help nothing get sorted out now duzzet?"

"Not roit now, but still.. keep on yer toes lads.. there's bound to be rough-types abroad"

"I'd hope one o' them Bronze shiny fellas'll have a look into that Mason fellow though, Can't be doin' with a bullshitter in the camp eh."

"Nah."

"Whaaat? Woy narrrt? 'Eee wuz welll suspect."

"With real crooks abound? Bluddy waste o' toime innehhht, 'Ees just a tit, Ee..

"Shush - there 'ee is!"

*uncomfortable silence*

"Cor, I wish there wuz wummin on this island I could just go forra.."

"Leave it out! If yerr thaaat desperate, go an see old TinCow - 'ees a brass inni?"

*guffaw!*

"You wuz roit when you said about ther bein' queerness afoot orlroight!"

etc. etc. long into the night the settlers huddled around the flames. Whether it was simply the fraternity and companionship that held the fire's circle, or perhaps an element of fear and uncertainty which had insinuated itself into their clan, the men, and yay, even some of the good men, drank the hastily-decanted apple-booze, ate their first, gravy-glistening taste of the island's bounty and forgot about their troubles.. for at least a short while.








*well, slapped together out of mud and twigs an that rather than actually built by your workin' man ~ That's cuzza those fancy Mason types shyin' off their labour. Silly buggerz with thur silly 'andshakes and rolling up thur troosers an' all that anyway. All talk no bleedin' work with them I orlwiz say...

Well it help if you get a reward for it???:idea2::idea2:

Just a note, if I don't answer a question asked either in a thread or in PM, it means "No comment."

Also, night hasn't ended yet (still waiting for all the orders and one person hasn't read their role yet). Night will not go later than 12:00 Noon EST Friday. The subsequent nights will be shorter as well, this one is extended so that everyone can understand what the hell is going on! :laugh4:

"Evenin; Mi'Lord!"

(whispers) "Well, OI don't know what the hell is goin' on anyway, s.."
"Bloody 'ell 'ee creeps up dunny.."

"Oh shurrup! *hic!* pass that bloody parsnip woine..."

"No comment."

:no: Well I guess that does it for my challenging anyone....nobody is gonna accept.....even if they get a write up of my assured death......:thumbsdown:

Get this thing away from me before I catch something.

Hey Reenk.....can I challenge you...??? (which of course=death):grin2:

Actually yes, I will allow this. I will of course have the ability to accept or decline which may say a lot though. :wink:
