The Midgard Saga II [Concluded]

[woad&fangs]

At death I would of returned to Jotun form but I was greeted as a MAN after death.

[Kralizec]

I might not get online again before the deadline, so I'm going to Vote: Seamus as a preventive measure of self preservation. Except for his recent inactivity I don't think he's that suspicious so if I do manage to get online again I'll see if I can change my vote safely.

Seamus: 4 (Craterus, Husar, KukriKhan, Fenring)

Fenring: 2 (LG, PK)

Omanes Alexandrapolites: 1 (TinCow)
Husar: 1 (Curio)
LG: 1 (Sarathos)

abstain: 1 (Motep, GH)

[TinCow]

I have looked at every writeup in this game and yours is unique.

I disagree a little bit on this point. El Diablo's write-up completely omits any mention of what happened to him after he died. No Valhalla, no Hel, no Heavan. That is definitely unique, though it could just be an oversight by Sigurd.

A lot of people have had "nothing" happen after death. I believe it means they are simple townies. My guess from reading ED's writeup is that he was just that. A townie. And Sigurd used the writeup to narrate in some WOG deaths. (If you notice, both WOGs in the writeup rode off on horses. I'm assuming they both went to Valhalla.)

[LittleGrizzly]

After reading through things i have decided that W&F was innocent, so that by association would seem to make Fenring innocent, its not much but i wasn't going on much when i made the vote...

Unvote Fenring
Vote Abstain

[Kralizec]

Hmmm

Unvote: Seamus
Vote: Husar

I'm not really satisfied with lynching either, but Husar seems the more suspicious of the two.

[LittleGrizzly]

I think the Seamus vote is based on inactivity mainly, which doesn't seem to be anything to go on so i am not too happy about this lynch, but the nearest other candidates, Fenring and Husar im pretty sure are innocent, so im planning on sticking with my abstain vote, i know it is supposedly unhelpful to the town but i think ill do much more damage at the moment by placing my vote in the wrong place like i nearly did with Fenring..

[Motep]

Seamus: 3 (Craterus, Husar, KukriKhan)

Husar: 2 (Curio, fenring)

Omanes Alexandrapolites: 1 (TinCow)
Fenring: 1 (PK)
LG: 1 (Sarathos)

abstain: 3 (Motep, GH, LG)

[Csargo]

Vote:Omanes You're online right now, how about coming and telling us what you think?

[Crazed Rabbit]

Hey guys, just got back online. I moved into my new apartment over the weekend and the internet wasn't set up; so I checked the campus computer labs, and the library, both of which where closed on weekends. Just got the internet connected 1/2 hour ago.

I just read up to now and I don't have a good idea who to lynch. I don't want Seamus to die just because of a bunch of pressure votes that he hasn't got a chance to answer, though.

I'll try to reread some and get an idea of who to vote for.

Round 5 Conclusion



The Danes were found standing at the Thing’s centre at dawn when the law speaker appeared. He walked up to them having a worried look on his face. “Another one?” The Danes just stared back. One of them spoke: “Proletariat was poisoned as the others. This is not right. It must be the Norwegians. They came here carrying a grudge against us and our King. If the perpetrator isn’t found, we will be forced to leave. You know what that means?” The law speaker knew, it meant a continuation of the war between Norway and Denmark. Many lives were at stake here.
As the law speaker was contemplating on what to do, a group from the Norwegian camp approached. With them was a man with a troubled look. The Danes grew silent upon their approach. The Norwegians were weary in their presence and there was an ice front between the two groups. The law speaker approached them: “What can I do for you men?” The Norwegians seemed reluctant to state their business and it took a short while of staring at the law speaker and the Danes before answering. “This man saw something last night”. He stepped back and let the man with the troubled look in front. The man was called Craterus and he seemed as he didn’t want to tell his story, but finally he spoke up: “Last night … a … being entered my tent. He was more than 8 feet tall and can only be described as a Hulk… He had dark features and yellow eyes and very white teeth with fangs”. The Danes sucked in air and looked at each other. This description only fitted with one creature. “Jotun!!” exclaimed the law speaker. “How on earth did you survive this encounter?” The man called Craterus hesitated. “That’s just it. I have no good explanation other than pure luck”. The law speaker turned to the Danes. “This takes precedence over all other. We need to find this Jotun if he is hiding among us and expel him. The other looked incredulous at the law speaker. “How on earth will we be able to do that? The Jotun has inhuman strength”. The law speaker looked slyly back at them. “Oh, I have a few tricks up my sleeve.”
Now go and join your retinues and proceed to find a candidate. I believe the Jotun hides among us and we need to find him”.

A while later all of the retinues returned. A man called Ichigo handed over the tally to the law speaker. “Is this the man that you all think is the Jotun?” Ichigo nodded. “At least he got the most votes.” The law speaker walked through the crowd and finally stopped in front of a large man. “The say you might be Jotun, Seamus. Would you care to respond to these allegations?” The man called Seamus, laughed hard. “HAHAHAHAHA … you must all be joking. This is surely a joke … right?” The law speaker’s eyes did not betray any amusement. “Cease this man!” Three men that stood next to Seamus tried to grab him, but Seamus was not about to go willingly. He roared and grabbed Kagemusha and Omanes by their throats and slammed their heads together. A man called pevergreen drew a sword and tried to run Seamus through, but Seamus was faster and kicked pever in his knee which buckled and put pever on the ground. Seamus slammed his foot in pever’s face killing him instantly. Pever found himself behind an incredible beauty on a horse galloping through the sky.
The warrior called Husar finally put a stop to Seamus’ berserkgangr with a sword through his heart.
Seamus was still upset but calmed fast when he saw the lithe body he shared a horse with. This was not so bad. Why had he acted so foolishly back there?

Challenges and PMs people... deadline tuesday 18th of August at 2000 GMT

[Craterus]

Ok people, let's be careful with our challenges. I think it's at the stage of the game where we would do well to limit them and perhaps agree on a single challenge to take place.

[Andres]

Ok people, let's be careful with our challenges. I think it's at the stage of the game where we would do well to limit them and perhaps agree on a single challenge to take place.

Any idea how you survived a broken neck last night?

[Craterus]

I was protected by Thor, I even have the PM to prove it. The write-up also clears me: "In the Norwegian camp" and the most recent write-up also groups me with the Norwegians. And yes, I'm a Norwegian.

Now, I'm urging restraint with the Holmgangs. Please don't challenge at random.

[LittleGrizzly]

I agree, with 20 people dead and only 15 alive we must now be careful and considered in our actions, as far as im aware we still haven't managed to kill a single Jotun, so as i have been saying for a while lets consider our challenges a bit more seriously....

and we need suspects!! anybody have a theory on why someone is suspicious lets hear it! no matter how far fetched it may seem...

[Craterus]

I don't know, Grizz, I think Seamus was. Look at how powerful he's portrayed in the write-up.

With that out of the way, I'm tempted to reconsider my position on Fenring. It's a completely different style of PM to others, the similarity in write-ups between woad&fangs and a Jotun from Midgard 1. Plus, w&f was quite defensive.

Hmm.

I'd like to see two of these people in a Holmgang.

[Craterus]

No. We need to think about this.

Don't urge people to challenge. It's not helping to make Fenring look innocent.

[Privateerkev]

I believe that writeups showing a lynch suspect killing "WoG's" is simple narration. And not to be read into too much. After his death, Seamus rode off with a woman on a horse. Sounds like Valhalla to me.

[Motep]

Anybody have anything?

Craterus being norwegian seems to blow my theory out of the water...

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Oh bother.

Been soloing with the kids all weekend and haven't put a lot of time into this -- apologies all. Usually I am lynched because people don't like what I'm posting.....

As to the whodunnit....here are some questions for thought:


TinCow and Ichigo both voted for Omanes....despite what should have been a clear sense of impending woggage. Ichigo, why comment about his online status in a thread he isn't reading? PM button broken?


Motep has sailed in to lodge a vote with very little posting activity in every round save for round #2. In round #2 he was on the short list to get lynched, posted frequently, and changed his vote three times during the process. Motep, would you not agree that this is classic jotunnish behavior? AND abstaining in the 5th round?!? A place-holder because you "just couldn't think" is one thing...but you had time to tally the votes and were obviously reading the discussion, posting your tally only moments before Sigurd called it a round. Something is fishy here.


GH -- this is also pretty late in the game for you to be abstaining....though to be fair, had I done so, I might not have been lynched, so maybe you know best.


Now, its off for some mead and an effort to make my valkyrie friend hit a real high note....or three.

Well...I can think, I just dont know what to think. As to all else, I speak when spoken to, but other than in my own defense, I really dont have much to say. My theories have been shot down, and are currently burning alive in a pile of smoking rubble...

[Husar]

My list of suspects would be:

Crazed Rabbit
Fenring
Gaius Scribonius Curio
Kukrikhan
LittleGrizzly
Privateerkev
Sarathos
Warmaster Horus

Crazed Rabbit, well he wants to say more later, hopefully tonight, hurry up m8, we need material, only 7 posts until now.

Fenring has this weird PM, although the duel score is not what makes it weird, the hi player etc makes little sense when every player gets his own tailored role PM etc.

Gaius, well, stopped writing long texts, didn't he? Perhaps because I blamed him for it? But I'm really not sure what to think about him yet.

Kukri, rather neutral-helpful as always but I kinda stop wanting to think it's always true, claims war veteran which he was in Midgard one, but everyone seems to claim that nowadays.

Grizzly, not sure, seems a bit more aggressive than what I know of him though.

PK, TinCow says he is okay based on a role PM and he seems to have a townie network, he says he is their mouthpiece but noone would vouch for him for security reasons, well, maybe noone would vouch for him because there is no townie network?

Sarathos, rather low-key or did I miss something, only 12 posts so far?

Warmaster Horus, active now and then, don't really know what to say yet.

[Motep]

a townie network, he says he is their mouthpiece but noone would vouch for him for security reasons, well, maybe noone would vouch for him because there is no townie network?

I can confirm the existance of the network, and it was the basis of my theories...

I thought that this townie network was actually started by Jotun trying to discern everybodies roles so as to eliminate the lords as quickly as possible, and avoid townie deaths. And their most influential agents in the thread would sick the town after a god or lord.

*Looks up* Maybe I am paraniod...

[GeneralHankerchief]

@Seamus: I'd rather not be abstaining, but RL happens.

Not sure what to make of Fenring.

woad is using common sense arguments and I think is innocent.

Who do you guys want me to challenge?

[Craterus]

I'd quite like to see Fenring challenged but wait a bit please GH. I think the general consensus is that you are innocent and it'd be best if two suspicious people were involved in the challenge.

Thank you for offering.

[Csargo]

Ichigo, why comment about his online status in a thread he isn't reading? PM button broken?

He should come in the thread and check it.

[Motep]

He should come in the thread and check it.

Maybe he had forgotten us. A reminder is always helpful.

[Csargo]

I'm here, , or at least I was last time I checked. Family crisis and all that blah, blah, blah

Anyway, I've got a lot of reading to do, so I'll post my opinions later. Just letting you know that I'm back for now.

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

@ Husar: My apologies for my vote yesterday. I was still a bit out of it from crazy painkillers and being in hospital etc.etc. see my post yesterday. There was no good reason for me to vote for you yesterday and consider my suspicion as retracted somewhat. I just needed to make it clear that I would be back.

The reason for me not posting long posts...

I was in hospital. It's a big claim but it is true.

Today I am frantically trying to catch up on uni work, but I will pop in later and try and provide some analysis.
