    Hmm, you're correct about the description. However, this was CA's reaction:

    See the above edit, the evidence is pretty convincing, I shall have a bit of a look at some Norse myths and see, but maybe CA didn't want to give away his role, even after death... Shall be back later with confirmation.

    well that sucks.
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    GSC beat me to it. 90% CA was Odin.

    Ties in Migard 1 resulted in a No Lynch. Holmgang does increase your score by one.

    Challange: KukriKhan

    Vote: Challange: name may be counted as an actual challange, that mistake was made last time.

    My holmgang score is under half of what I claimed last time, so KK should beat me soundly, I am challanging him as I dont like how he is voting.

    So Ragnarok approaches, eh?

    Am I wrong in dimly remembering that Loki also used crows?

    The interesting thing is that N1 I got a message from Siguard about me hearing a Kra nearby which prompted me to ask whether night was over. Now it makes more sense with the explanation though. Does that mean I was investigated?

    Loki fought on the side of the Jǫtunn at Ragnarök.

    CA must have been Odin.

    I'm amazed that only 2 people didn't vote, high activity.

    I caution people from challenging for little or no reason. Decimating the ranks of the town in challenges will only help the Jotun.

    But, if challenged, I will not back down.

    I will see you on the field Mr Ferret...

    It seems likely that we have done for the mortal form of an immortal. The reverence of those being passed by CA suggest godhood and not jotunhood -- though both interpretations are possible.

    The bird referrant is indistinct -- Sigurd adores a touch of ambiguity as I recall from I -- but the most consistent bird allusion is with Odin. In v 1.0, Odin was the "detective" for the good guys. We may be without a very important tool.

    However, even with Odin's efforts in the last go-around, the Jotun still prevailed. Their Holmgang scores were very high, though not insurmountable. Assuming this theme continues in v 2.0, it would be poor odds for a human to face them unless and until holmgang skill has improved, however.

    I agree. It does look like we lynched Odin, though it would be better if CA could respond to this in some manner. What powers would Odin have had? Did we just lose a doctor, detective, vigilante, combo role?
