Sorry for this Seamus.
:balloon2:
And that's a wrap.
If we could get our favorite hand-cannon vigilante to take care of tran, that'd be super. Of course the people who voted xdeathfire at the end to tie it up will be examined.
CR
unvote: dutch guy
vote: xdeathfire
unvote dutch guy
vote xdeathfire
if you allow Dutch's vote...
unvote xdeathfire
vote dutch guy
I think at one point we're going to have to draw the line with all the vote changing, it's still a game you know.
Let Seamus decide where to end it.
:balloon2:
Ok, Dutch_guy, lets stop this nonsense.
CR, :2thumbsup:
Ok, assuming CR's last tally is correct we have:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Which is not what we want right? We want to lynch Dutch Guy?
So:
Unvote: Tran
Vote: Dutch_Guy

Guys, this is pointless. The time limit expired 15 minutes ago. According to the date stamp on the posts, Dutch and Xdeathfire were tied at 11 votes each when it passed.
myrd, nevermind
Ok, I'm stopping.
Good work Haudegen! Now if you excuse me, I'm going back to sleep.
:sleep: :snore:
CR
I´d be quite happy if we all could agree to this. BUT as far as I remember in the last days votes were usually counted until Seamus declared the end of the phase.Quote:

Write-up will be presented as soon as reasonably possible. Night PMs accepted once write up is in place.
No! I just got back from vacation and just missed the deadline.:wall: I would Vote: Present, because it looks like we got the tie we wanted, but will it count?
The norm in other games has always been... the votes are counted until the narrator concludes the voting phase with a post declaring it so.
Nice to see people choosing Xdeath over Tran :stare:
Ok, so it seems I screwed up :shame: but luckily it shouldn't count.
Sorry about that...
Actually we didn´t have a choice. CR and me had placed our votes on Tran, before Dutch guy started messing with the balance. We tried our best to achieve at least a double lynch.Quote:

No, they wanted xdeathfire to die. Tran only survived because me and Huadegen had our votes on him and the primary target was DG.Quote:

Like me, multiple times?Quote:

CR
So what was the vote count at 1405 GMT?
EDIT: P.S. You sneaky, sneaky Dutch_guy ~;)
Wait, you stayed up just for the voting ? That's just as funny as it is suspicious :beam:Quote:

Strange, as I expected people either to be working (or sleping, CR !) during the day ?
:balloon2:
You did the best you could, Haudegen and CR, and Myrddraal. Thanks. I'm currently at a complete loss as to the final tally. Guess we'll soon find out.
Pity Dutch managed to mess it up. Bah, today is the second lynch in a row the Stracchi's managed to obstruct for the town, with their constant misinformation and sabotage.
I must express a certain grudging admiration and amusement at their efforts though. Andres' 'tally' and Dutch's sense of timing are instant classics. :beam:
No, I woke up much earlier than I otherwise would have. Curse the GMT! Why must everything happen when we west coasters are asleep? At least it was worth it. :beam:Quote:
Wait, you stayed up just for the voting ? That's just as funny as it is suspicious
Andres' 'tally' was very funny as well.
CR
Why so defencive?Quote:

Dutch could have continued the charade... but instead let it go. The one who was saved by this was Tran
"Well where I lived
Don't make no bones
Was several feet below a stone
Far from appalled
I was enthralled
The snake that slithered learned to crawl
Through the quagmire of my mislaid plans
That backfired
I felt enlightened
My senses heightened
You called me up
To wish me luck
To let me know this business sucks
Let's change it
Let's rearrange it
So why do I get the feeling
That there's something you're concealing?"

Sunset, Day Six
There hadn’t been all that much open discussion this time. The Committee had met, and a few points had been argued, but most of the members seemed to have arrived with a goal in mind. Many chose to remain in their seats and not vote. Others, from what the plethora of hushed whispers might suggest, were hoping to use one of the more obscure rules of Tosa’s “system” to repeat what had been done on the day of Hannibalbarca’s and Tiberius of the Drake’s lynching and end two lives…or more…at once.
As the count wound down to a conclusion, scrupulously witnessed by Fermanagh’s guards and -- as the recount continued -- by Fermanagh himself, the face of the Director, JimBob grew more and more visibly upset. He gathered his notes and looked at the assembled committee.
“It is the will of this committee…”
Guards positioned themselves behind Tran, Dutch_guy, and Xdeathfire.
“…that Xdeathfire be executed as a criminal against the city of Fatlington. May God have mercy on your soul. Any last words?”
Dutch_guy looked more surprised than anything else; Tran perhaps a little relieved. Xdeathfire just stood mute. He looked as though he might say something, but then thought better of it and stood silently.
“Very well, and I thank you for not regaling us with your musical talents. You will be taken to the boardwalk and there executed by firing squad. You may face your executioners or the sea at your choice. The committee will watch from here as our windows overlook the boardwalk.”
The gaurds took Xdeathfire and marched him from the room.
“Some of you might actually want to LISTEN to my advice,” said the Director. “I warned you that getting cute with the vote-counts might backfire, I even made some specific suggestions as to how we should proceed. But once the votes are in, I too am bound by hizzoner’s rules, no matter WHAT I think of the result…”
This last line had been delivered in a pointed stare at Dutch_guy, whose response was the slightest of sneers. JimBob was not the only one glaring at Dutch_guy.
“We will now bear witness to our judgement.”
Xdeathfire was escorted to the boardwalk by four of the guards. He chose the Atlantic as his final view, quietly smoking a cigarette while the squad behind him prepared. Death came before the sound reached his ears; Xdeathfire’s last view was of the darkening sea as night once more slid its shroud over Fatlington.
OOC
1. Night Six now begins. PM deadline is 0900 EST 20 Feb 08 (1400 GMT).
2. Day 6 Lynch Vote Tally
Xdeathfire = 12 (CountArach, Craterus, Dutch_guy, Elite Ferret, Evil_Maniac from Mars, Hiji, Kagemusha, LittleGrizzly, Louis VI the Fat, norwegian nerd, Sarathos, TruePraetorian)
Dutch_guy = 10 (ajaxfetish, Crazed Rabbit, FactionHeir, Haudegen, Husar, Kukrikhan, scottishranger, shlin28, Sigurd Fafnesbane, Xdeathfire) Sara claimed in 2076?
Tran = 8 (Caius, Charge, Ichigo, Lt. Pinard, Myrddraal, Proletariat, Sasaki Kojiro, TinCow)
Andres the Nosferatu= 0 (Elizabeth Borden, Robespierre, Louis the not quite so fat, Van Helsing)
Abstain = 3 (Brave Sir Robin, Joe Monks, Twilightblade)
Sasaki Kojiro = 1 (Makanyane)
3. Explanation Part One: All of the last second vote-changers were on line and active at the deadline. Rabbit’s edit at 0901 was a clear response to Haudegan’s at 0857. Dutch’s slightly belated post at 0903 I did not count as the tone and timing suggest it was made AFTER the 0900 deadline and did not simply arrive a few seconds late crossing the ether. Therefore, the vote count at 0900 was the final count.
4. Explanation Part Two: Having reviewed my rules, as well as the customs of the Gameroom, I am forced to list Sarathos’ vote for Xdeathfire in post #2065 as a valid vote. That post, which even noted a reason valid within the context of the then-current discussion to support that vote, was properly bolded, formatted, and never subsequently changed. Despite his own protestation that his first vote had been for Dutch_guy (see post #2076) which was correct, the Capo rules do not invalidate any vote that fails to use the “unvote” format and the customs of the Gameroom and of this game have been to accept a change of vote merely by the imposition of a properly bolded vote for a new name. Once properly listed I will count it until changed -- even if ill considered. This produces the count above.
Damnable!!!! twice!!!
