Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Screw this, someone's being challenged.
Challenge: Fenring
My rating's 5, nothing to sneeze at. We'll see how things play out.
Can we keep this Holmgang as the only one this turn please?
(And please don't take that the wrong way GH. I don't want you to die. Far from it in fact...)
But Fenring is someone I've been suspicious of off and on for awhile. I'd like to see this fight happen and not be watered down.
If I die and turns out I went to Valhalla (the most likely event since my rating is lower than GH's), lynch PrivateerKev. He has built an accusation against me on quicksand and after it turned out to be nonsense, he came up with an even more feeble line of reasoning to rationalize his baseless suspicion. He's been protective of Seamus, who could have been Jotun if you consider the writeup and who might have been the one who passed on my role PM to Kev in the first place. (Seamus was one of the few people I revealed to in private)
I'm suspicious of Craterus too because he's been parroting Kev for the past 3 pages at least, but he can wait.
Wouldn't you know where you are going to go by your role pm...?Quote:

But let's not go nuts throwing around challanges. We have GH v Fenring; let's see how that plays out, especially against the backdrop of night kills.
Screw it, Go team Jotun:brood:

I have said this before, and I will say it again. Sigurd writing up a lynch candidate killing WoG's is probably nothing more than a narrative device.
Whatever you say, Kev. I'm still going to vote for you if I survive this duel and I encourage others to do the same.
Ok. :shrug:Quote:

*Edit*
And your name in your role PM doesn't exactly help your case...
Ok whats going on, not that I will likely look again before tomorrow morning? So it looks like PK and Fenring are sort of suspects. I don't think PK is someone to worry about though. Aside from Fenring, who I don't think is a strong case, I dont know what to do. Maybe if I go back and reread what was posted....
Well now that's useful.....
Thoughts:
As a dead'un, I can neither confirm nor deny the specifics of Fenring's PM with me. I will confirm that I did receive a PM from him on 15Aug08 at 1247 EDT.
I do not believe we are facing a serial killer. Jotuns are supposed to team up to whack gods. Early on, they were probably going slow and making sure of their kills, since they couldn't know who was or was not on the Asgard team at that point. Now, with more investigations, deaths and holmgangs piling up, they are in a better position to branch out for targets. However, as Craterus' results indicate, this is not perfect. EDIT: Remember, gods who are pro-town are tough targets and do not count toward final victory. It is to the Jotun's advantage to ID them, get them lynched if possible, but to focus kills on the human kings.
GH needs to be reviewed with a fine-toothed comb. He's claimed champion status and a current "5" for holmganging. If he isn't playing us all false on one of his patented "brass" reveals, then he is a hugely useful resource for the town who needs to continue to holmgang and get up to jotun killing numbers -- cause in the endgame, holmganging a jotun may be the only way to reverse the numbers trend if things are headed south.
Apologies to all, but I do not have time to read the previous posts or to read or answer any PMs that have been sent to me recently. My wife has come down with appendicitis and is going into surgery this afternoon. This is not a serious operation, but I will be AWOL for the rest of today (unless the hospital ends up having wifi) and some part of tomorrow. Please forgive any tardiness in posting or replying to PMs.
I hope her surgery goes well TC. I don't think anyone will hold it against you, RL comes first. Good luck ~:wave:
Round 6
That was an intense moment. The Swedish retinue walked together and talked about the events that had transpired at the Althing and Seamus’ demise. “Damn that guy was striong. Did you see how he crushed the sculls of those men?” GeneralHankerchief asked. “Yeah that was something” one of the answered. GH continued: “Which kingdom did he belong to?” The other men looked at each other and shrugged. A man leaning against a tree answered them. “He was once a captain of the Varangian guard and a great warrior in Novgorod. GH snorted: “Hah, not a chance, I fought a Rus the other day and that was nothing worth bragging about. He must have been one of those Jomsvikings. Now those are warriors”. The man leaning against the tree, sneered. “The Rus have as many great warriors as the Joms. We have fought countless battles against the Arabs and we have been as great as the other Norse since the three Varangian brothers became our rulers”.”Bah!!!”, said GH. “That is just rubbish; I can smell the Slavic blood in you. You are nothing but a reindeer herder”. The Rus named Fenring reached the axe leaning against the tree and started cleaning his nails. “We might have Slavic blood in us, but you Swedes are just watered out Norwegians after all. You have nothing going for you and envy your brother to the west in their success over seas”. GH sneered: “Why don’t you just show me how we have nothing going for us, huh? Let’s see if you can use that axe there”. GH turned to one of his companions: “Give me my axe, and I’ll show this little Varangian wannabe a few things”.
GH grabbed the axe and went straight for Fenring. The combination he threw was a bastardised version of the Varangian side sweep. Fenring seemed to know a few things himself and rolled away from the slash and the blow that would have split his head down to his shoulders. But he wasn’t quick enough and all though using his axe as a cutting blade agaist the ribcage of GH, he couldn’t avoid getting grazed by GH’s axe. The two men were bleeding and GH took to his chest just to see that his fingers came away red. Fenring limped a little but composed himself. GH attacked again, but this time he only found a small gash in Fenring’s arm. Fenring held high on his axe and grazed GH’s own arm as he went past, just to slip to a low hold and swing backwards. The axe caught GH square in the back and GH howled in pain. The fight was even now, with both of them bleeding hard. GH hesitated a little and then looked determined to end this. This time GH missed completely and Fenring went under GH’s arm just to plant his axe firmly in the backhead of GH.
GH didn’t even realise that he was somewhere else. The axe had just vanished from his hands and he cried out: “What kind of magic is this?” He heard a woman’s laughter, and it was beautiful. “There will be magic soon my love; I am going to take you for a ride of your life time”. She winked at him and he hoped she had something else in mind but a ride on that horse she was holding.

Kukrikhan was weary as he walked in the nearly empty Danish camp. He scanned the area for suspicious people and had his Frankish long sword ready. He was determined to find that little bastard that was poisoning his men. The law speaker believed this dwarf was a jotun shape shifter, but Kukri was not convinced. Why would Jotun shape shift into such a puny little weak thing. He was thus contemplating when he saw the little fellow skulking around. “He ran after him and caught him by the neck. “Now, what do we have here? If it isn’t the little adder that are poisoning out men. Prepare to die maggot”. As Kukri was about to cut the little man in half, the dwarf spit into Kukri’s mouth. What nerve did this rat display? He was going to give this one a slow death. Kukri suddenly felt weak and his legs could no longer sustain his weight. He dropped the dwarf to the ground and collapsed. The dwarf smiled and tilted his head looking at Kukri.
Darkness overtook Kukri and he felt the world spinning. As the motion ceased, he was lying on his back in a pasture somewhere far from the lava infested place he had just been at. This was a sweet smelling place. And what was that flowery smell? Someone stirred next to him and he turned to see what it was. He found himself looking into a pair of indescribably blue eyes. She smiled a perfect smile and kissed him. “Are you in a hurry, warrior, to attend the table of the almighty? I have laboured much lately and are in a need for some recreation”. She looked all hopeful and Kukri could not believe his luck.
Gaius Scribonius Curio, was sleeping lightly in his tent and heard something rustling outside. He got up slowly, sword ready in his hand. In through the tent opening and stooped over, came the most terrifying creature he had ever seen. The creature was huge and it was completely dark save for a smile of white fangs and a pair of shining yellow eyes. The creature noticed that Gaius was not sleeping silently on his bedroll and turned to where Gaius stood. A deep voice rumbled:”Hahaha, I see you are waiting for me. I am sorry to say that your time as at an end. It will be quick”. The creature moved like in a blur and Gaius could not react before he was dangling in the air by his neck. The creature had grabbed his throat and hoisted him into the air. The creature grabbed his head and twisted. But nothing happened. The creature grunted as if strained and dropped Gaius to the ground. “I see you have been blessed by the gods. Fear foe, because I will return and your death will not be swift as it would have been today”. One moment the creature was smiling the evil grin at Gaius and the next he was gone.
Gaius ran out of the tent and yelled: “A Jotun… We have a Jotun among us.

Likewise to Pev. :bow:

2 are Jotun. Up to 4 townies per day will die, if town gets the lynch and Holmgang wrong (as we have so far).
So, Wednesday (Odin Day) and Thorsday should tell the tale.
Town: please, please: catch the little spitter; for me. Please.
I am also dead KK :tongue:
I would leave Sarathos, I saw nothing as to why he would be guilty.
We are penetrated.
One or more Jotun are successfullly masquerading, not lurking.
With GH at a 5 holmgang, I'm wondering about Fenring. Wondering a lot. All of the at start 5+ types are kings, gods, or the enemy...
No! My champion has fallen! :cry:
And I too suspect he who killed you.
Hey guys, greetings from Valhalla. The booze is great and the babes are better! Can't wait to see you all here, although later rather than sooner would be nice. If you want this to come true then do your part and avenge me...
Hmm... verrrrry interesting....
FoS: Ichigo and Warmaster Horus. Ichi's behavior reminds me too much of when he got converted in Netherworld. He's been lurking a lot, but making sure that he's at least friendly, which makes people tend to not notice it as much.
WH: what can I say, its just a real strong instinct at this point, but I'm quite convinced you're scum.
We haven't heard of these guys in a while, which is a real shame for the time. I do fear most fo this list will be WOGed next turn so unless these guys participate, the town is basically opening up the door and letting the Jotun in and not caring. Why????Quote:

Vote:Warmaster Horus you are probably the best candidate for WOGing, please start talking.
Vote:Fenring not that I am convinced. maybe I will change it latter.
And FoS:Sarathos
If WH is the best candidate for Wogging and he's suspicious we should leave him alone. Let Sigurd take care of him for us.Quote:

On that note, my sympathy to your wife, Tincow, appendicitus isn't fun. Hope she is better soon.
Vote: Fenring
Something isn't right here, his PM doesn't fit. Is there anybody who can vouch for him?
He beat war veteran, GH, fairly easily. Another point against him.
I have been attacked. I am proven innocent (thanks to Thor btw...). I have no axe to grind. I just want the town to win.
I shall probably check in later, I still have uni stuff to catch up on, and its my sisters birthday, so I may not make it.
What terrible logic.Quote:

This is an easy vote, one without much risk - Sarathos doesn't have to argue against someone here or even the conventional wisdom of trying to get lurkers to be active.
If you want someone to participate, PM them or something instead of starting lynching them off - because I suspect you wouldn't take this vote off of WH if he did show up. Heck, you don't even need to participate much more in the discussions yourself.
