The Scourge of Ephesus - Day 2 - Conclusion
The remnants of the Artemis temple - 8.00 pm.
The tourists didn't know what to do.
Some pointed fingers at a certain Reenk Roink.
"Look at him, with his fancy Emporio Armani sunglasses and his LaCoste T-Shirt. And look at that 2.000 $ camera. What an attention seeker! Let's kill him, please! Even if he's not scum, he's a pain in the..."
"No!" said Reenk Roink said. "It's not me you want, it's him!"
The tourists grew silent again.
Tevashzat looked up.
"What? Who? Me? Are you guys crazy?"
The tourists didn't like being called crazy.
"No! We're not crazy! You are! You psychopatic maniac! You evil killer!"
The crowd came near. Some picked up rocks and were at the point of throwing them.
"Stop! Stop it!"
The tourists looked at the athletic man.
"Not like yesterday. Come on. We're not savages! If we're going to lynch everybody the way we did with that last guy, then whoever survives this madness, will be as crazy as the ones we're after."
The man unsheethed a blade.
"He has a blade! He must be the maniac!"
"Shut up! Listen, I found this near the place were that horrible sound came from yesterday."
He drew a gun out of his pocket.
"And I found this near the mutilated corpses."
The man stared at Tevashzat.
"Mister, it seems like you're the one to die today. What do you prefer? The gun or the blade?"
"That's not a choice!" Tevashzat looked around him. He saw angry faces, filled with rage. But underneath that rage, he also saw despair.
"You are all as desperate as me. I don't want you people to have nightmares about killing me."
He turned to the athletic man.
"Give that gun to me. I'll end my life myself. No need to traumatise yourself by killing me."
"Don't give him the gun," several tourists yelled. "He'll kill us all!"
"Oh come on! How much bullets are there in that gun? 6? Maybe 8? I can't kill all of you by myself. Give me the gun! I'll end this myself."
Tevaszhat walked towards the athletic man.
"Easy now," the man said. "We can do this civilised or..."
Tevashzat jumped forward. Fast as lightning however, the man turned. The blade caught the sun and with a golden blow, it decapacitated Tevashzat.
Covered in blood, his executioner turned himself to the remaining tourists.
"He was quick. Maybe he was indeed a dangerous fellow. Let's go to sleep. Hopefully this nightmare has ended now."
He turned his back and walked away.
A few tourists walked to the body.
"Whoever he was, the least we can do is burry him."
"Indeed," another tourist said.

Re: The Scourge of Ephesus (IN PLAY)
Bah, I still think RR needs to be killed.
Re: The Scourge of Ephesus (IN PLAY)
I think the same, but I'm more willing to listen to RR after the lynching round.
I know nobody is blind, but I'll point out this obvious quote anyway.
Maybe, maybe not. Maybe he was indeed mafia, but it seems that Tevash definitely had some role.

Re: The Scourge of Ephesus (IN PLAY)
Again guys, no role at all there. Reenk is just playing with all of you

Re: The Scourge of Ephesus (IN PLAY)
Maybe, maybe not. But I know I would be pretty upset if I were innocent and lynched for little reason apart from a vaguely accusation such as one made by Reenk.
Re: The Scourge of Ephesus (IN PLAY)
He's right, YLC. Voting for yourself when you're one of the candidates for lynching does have the added benefit of allowing you to dramatically change the vote count at the last minute if it's close.Oh, Zombie TinCow, please inform the good YLC that his vote change wouldn't have had any effect either.
I'm actually not so sure after that lynch write-up. TevashSzat is specifically described by Andres as being abnormally quick. It could just be colorful writing, but it could also indicate a role. As unlikely as it seems, it is possible that RR is a detective and by sheer good luck happened to investigate TevashSzat on night one. He may have then concocted this absurd neutral role as a means to be able to speak publicly without getting instantly whacked by the mafia.
Then again, he could also be mafia or just a normal townie screwing with us. I would hold off on a lynch at the moment. The best thing to do is to let RR live for the time being and investigate him at random sometime in the next 1-3 turns.

Re: The Scourge of Ephesus (SIGN UPS)
The Scourge of Ephesus - Night 3 - Conclusion
The latrines - 1.00 am.
White_Eyes:D couldn't sleep. Nature called...
As the excellent history student he is, he knew that there are also some old latrines that are well preserved, here in Ephesus.
Allthough he knew very well that they were out of order since more then 1000 years, he figured he could as well get to know how it felt to be a real Roman, including the more trivial matters of ancient life.
And so he went to the latrines.
Sitting there, with his trousers on his feet, he didn't notice a shady figure coming near.
"Wow, I for one would not like to be found dead like that,' a voice whispered.
"Me neither," White_Eyes:D said with a smile. He was a man who could appreciate some very dark humour.
"What a pity," the other man said, "because that's exactly what's going to happen."
Before he could realise what those last words implied, two bullets from a silenced gun ended his life.
***
The statute of Artemis - 1.15 am.
Hysterical laughter could be heard.
"It's a fake! It's fake! And all those stupid tourists pose next to it, want a picture next to a fake statue! Idiots!"
One blow destroyed the statue.
***
The City of Ephesus - 2.00 am
The night was cooler than usual and Reenk Roink took a stroll among the ruins to contemplate on the latest events. He backed up to pillar and lit a cigarette.
"Ah this is a nice place. No wonder the ancients decided to build a city here".
He gazed up on the stars and saw the constellation Hercules. But something was amiss. The star Sarin was not there and neither was Rasalgethi. He looked intently at the star field looking for the missing stars. A voice boomed: "So, you finally noticed me".
A shadowy figure jumped down from a pillar just below the constellation and approached him. "I guess you want to know if I have the package. I am sorry to say that for you I have something else of value".
Reenk Roink asked perplexed, "And what might that be"?
The man drew something from atop his left shoulder and before Reenk Roink could utter another word, he felt a sharing pain in his throat. He fell to the ground feeling tired and as his life force ebbed out from the gash in his throat, the shadow bent down and whispered in his ear.
"Your life".
The man calmly walked away.
***
The Remnants of the Artemis temple - 3.00 am
TheFlax couldn't sleep and so she walked back to the place where they had last gathered.
Staring at the new grave, she couldn't stop thinking about her long lost lover.
"Oh, why, oh why did I ever leave you, my love. I still love you, yet I decided to stop seeing you. I hate myself now, I really do. And on top of that, I'm in the middle of this mess. Oh, only the stars and the moon know how much I want to leave this place."
"That can be arranged," a man, standing in the shadow of a nearby pillar said.
"Huh? What? Who are you? Are you here to rescue us?"
"Define "rescue"", the man said, slowly walking to TheFlax.
"Well, take us to a place, far away from here, where we can forget whatever happened here."
The man laughed.
"In that case, yes, I'm here to rescue you."
He raised his arm, the moon shined onto the silenced gun.
Two bullets ended yet another life.
The man put away his gun and left the scene.
***
The Scourge of Ephesus - Day 3.
The temple of Hadrianus - 9.30 am
The tourists gathered at the ancient temple. They found an old man. He was staring at an undefined point before him.
"I have found three bodies this morning. Three! That fine lad, what's his name, the history student, White_Eyes:D, I found him dead in the latrines. Somehow, his killer deemed it funny to put his dead body on the latrines, with his trousers on his feet. What a sick joke, everybody knows the boy knew that those latrines were out of order! He would never disgrace the ancient heritage of Turkey!"
The old man shakes his head and continues:
"Then I also found Reenk Roink. Somebody slit his throat with something sharp. The poor man died instantly, so it seems. His Armani glasses and his expensive camera were lying next to him, in a pool of blood."
The man sighed.
"And I also found the body of TheFlax, two bullets in the head, lying in her own blood! And if you think that's not enough, they also destroyed the statue of Artemis!"
The old man started to yell and to scream.
"Calm down, friend, please," the younger, athletic tourist said.
The old man slowly came to his senses again.
"Guess we still have to find us some bad guys..."
"Indeed, we do," the other one said, a grim expression on his face.

Re: The Scourge of Ephesus (IN PLAY)
why on earth kill reenk when he was in prime position to be lynched this round anyway, maybe his role was so good that they couldnt run the riskor just to put tevashszat into trouble, dont think obviously now, tevashszat has probably been framed here
Re: The Scourge of Ephesus (IN PLAY)
Umm yeah.......I was lynched last round. Anyways, good riddance that someone killed Reenk already.why on earth kill reenk when he was in prime position to be lynched this round anyway, maybe his role was so good that they couldnt run the risk

Re: The Scourge of Ephesus (IN PLAY)
My guesses are that Reenk was killed by a vigilante as the weapon of their choice was just a sharp object. Camera lying next to him shows that he was likely to be a townie.
Other then that i'm lost.
Re: The Scourge of Ephesus (IN PLAY)
That I have been killed (by Mafia most likely) means that the second objective was incredibly successful!
Really, the tablet I sent down explains everything.
I wish you luck town, I have been with you from the start.

Re: The Scourge of Ephesus (IN PLAY)
We're awash in clues...we shall need to begin removing the dross.
Stories make me sleepy.
Suggestions:
1 of you dig into the statue, any connection to tourists or other history references to think on.
1 of you run through the killings and assess knife/gun etc. methodology (#killers, MO's, vigilantes?) etc.
1 of you cobble up the lists of those voting for murder victims
1 of you think about the grave/burial/corpse desecration references a bit and collect the info on that

Re: The Scourge of Ephesus (IN PLAY)
Forgive me for double posting (someone save me). But heres what I got so far
-White_Eyes, Reenk on both day and Flax on day 2 has joined the main bandwagonning. Which suggest
the killer hates bandwagoners or just don't know how to play-> WIFOM don't even bother arguing.
-Rythmic, ATPG and Lord winter has not voted in two rounds. Which suggest that ATPG is away. iirc Lord Winter is less active when he has a townie role. But its dangerous to assume so until he is wogged. Rythmic... I don't know where he is off to.
-Round 2 has a lot more people who didn't make it to vote..
-Night 3 had 3 players killed. iirc night 2 had none.. Mafia recruited a few on night 2 perhaps.
-As Night 1 victim, Ares was killed with a gun, original mafia seems to have silencer pistols. Knife killer could be either new comers or vigilante.
- All killers are.. rather funny. I guess thats just Andres adding some flavors in the write up.
- Reenk was voted by Jolt & El Diablo on first day. The two didn't vote him on the second.
- .... Argh. Not much clues yet
