The Settlement [Concluded]

[Jolt]

How's the tally?

EDIT: Nevermind, didn't see Sasaki's tally above.

I'm debating on whether or not I should abstain. If we keep ATPG, we might keep either a confusing Mafioso or a confusing townie. >_> (Provided he rejects the duel)

I'm on the same page as TheFlax for as to the Andres matter.
Sasaki, Andres should be voted for?

Btw ATPG, is this a game which shall be touched by...Midas? :P

[Thermal]

What do you care?

So your not giving a reason? meh fine I just doubt all of town will follow you if you don't have a reason, I will dead vote andres if you give a reason

[FactionHeir]

How's the tally?

A few posts before yours.

[shlin28]

Unvote: Abstain, Vote: Andres.

Busy ATM, will try to post more when I got more time.

He's too quiet and his last post (I mean the accusation of TinCow doesn't seem to flow naturally. It seems a bit constructed, like he was putting it together rather than writing his own thoughts.

Sigurd is being a bit too quiet for my taste as well...granted we lynched him for lurking last game

MIDAS isn't constructed yet, firstly, and when it is, I will be testing it without actually using it in games. I refuse to sabotage a game on an experimental analysis device for my own amusement.

I'll use the old fashioned method, and make a note of what MIDAS says. If MIDAS fails to nail even one mafia, then I won't be using it.

Ares, either CLAIM the ability to vote while dead, or edit your post, please.

If you all unvote me, I will not reject the duel. Of course, I won't be rejecting the duel anyway. My life is in Seireikhaan's hands, it's no longer my choice. It's also in your hands, and I won't plead for my life. I am happy with death, as it will eliminate me as a suspect and hopefully lend some credibility to my efforts so far.

[Jolt]

bleh, the way I see it, he made a regular accusation, somewhat less aggressive than your original one. About the quietness, yeap, but then again I thought Andres was too quiet on the Godfather and thought that was a sign that he was the Godfather. But since we have so little clues, I suppose that is a valid argument.. He's far away from my suspects list though, at least for now.

Hey Ares:

You're officially neutered.

laugh all you like, but you're glued to my signature in the most embarrassing way for 15 days

[Askthepizzaguy]

Listen, when you put your Balzac on the line every game the way I do, you're bound to get neutered.

And you can quote me on that, too.

sorry one at a time, tempting though, anyway to make this post constructive I will officially announce I was a Cereal Killer with a difference, all players named 'cookie crisp' 'Kellogg's cornflakes' or 'weetabix' die on the next round.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Yeah, believe me I completely understand. That Balzac quote is quite a mouthful.

[Yoyoma1910]

"Now Sasaki, don't even bother with your healing abilities. I have thought long and hard of how you should die and I assure you, the method will make your abilities quite useless."

The giant began uttering some chants and suddenly, Sasaki Kojiro was transformed into a fish. He began to asphyxiate on his the floor when the giant went and picked him up and dropped him into one of the many barrels of water in his tent. Initially feeling relief, Sasaki Kojiro soon realized he was drowning! As a fish no less!
He looked hopelessly at the laughing giant before he floated limply to to the top.

The giant then pulled out a trident and impaled the corpse of Sasaki Kojiro the fish. Taking a bite of his freshly killed victim, the giant chuckled to himself: "Oh Pisuf, you have really outdone yourself tonight!"

"Hopefully these mortals will be thankful for the favor I have bestowed on them..."

The healing abilities mentioned only seem to affect whether or not you yourself would live. There is nothing mentioned that would imply anything else. To defeat you Pisuf transformed you into a fish, and submerged you in water, which you suffocated in. Which would imply that by removing your from land and placing you in water you were unable to preserve yourself.


I'm not saying whether Pisuf or Klefy or neutral or not. I'm saying that your death does not confirm you as working for the settlers. And quite likely if your goddess's goal is to preserve and defend nature, I would imagine your goal would be to hinder their progress.

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

I would agree with the idea of Pisuf and Kefy being relatively neutral Gods with their own agendas, but it is impossible to be sure.

Just something to consider from the write-up. My death, and I believe The Flax's as well, involved a message being left for us to read, before our stabbing. This would suggest the killer was educated, thus one of the 'Good Men'. More importantly the killer seems rather pleased with himself for having killed two (relatively) lowly scribes, lending further weight to the suggestion that he was a 'reader'. The one problem with this idea is that I don't see how they could successfully locate two scribes so quickly, particularly since neither myself nor The Flax appear to given away any obvious clues in thread prior to our deaths.

Thats all I've got for now. back later.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Not this again... Pifus likened Kefy to OsiOsi also. Kefy and Vode both whining about their agents being killed doesn't make them the best of friends. There is little conclusive evidence to go on, but Kefy is looking to be at the very least neutral.

I would not be concerned with this argument over kefy and the other gods. Remember how Pizza had it as a goal to eliminate the tax collector? A side goal from his main one? Some people have an "anti-religion/anti-gods" side goal...so I have gathered, and the increasingly pedantic arguments put forward by a few people in the thread support that idea.

I checked again to be sure, I got no message in the writeup of my death. Unlike the "Look behind you." you received. This might mean the killer is educated, but more importantly he defiled the work I was writing by smoking it, and in your case he sniffed your ink. So, probably a general lack of respect for scribes.

The last point is what people should think about though and I've said it before, right after you were murdered. This is apparently the same killer, judging by the M.O., but how did he manage finding picking both scribed in Night 1 and Night 2? We'll see if another scribe dies tonight (if any others are left.)

I fear the cause of writing is taking a devastating blow.

[White_eyes:D]

well, no matter what.....if ATPG dies in his duel. I can see Reenk randomly killing someone...(most likely a usurper....) Since, they seem to be winning....and in the rules Reenk said this....

If a settler who was to be executed is killed in a duel, then the matter becomes wholly up to the discretion of the priest king Reenk Roink.

Edit:...I just had a thought.....if Reenk Randomly kills me.....I will laugh until I die....

[Askthepizzaguy]

Time is of the essence, and I already submitted the duel story.

If you want to use your votes for a more useful purpose, now is the time to change them off of me. Otherwise, keep them on me. I'm curious to see who randomly dies, or whatever the mysterious outcome might be.

I'm not just dead, I'm super dead! That's better than regular death because you can do it twice in one round.

I'm so dead!
I'm so dead!
I can't wait!
Soooooon I'll be dead!
I love to be dead
Six feet under is my bed
And I'll turn into a zombie
And I'll turn into a zombie
and eat your flesh.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Tincow, you now seem...withdrawn...once having posted your defense to Sasaki's comments.

Thoughts?


I do concur with those who've made the point that many of the god references are unclear. In both Midgard games, the gods had their own agenda -- and the game of the mortals was only secondary to them. If that is true here, we will need caution in evaluating things. Vode reference = bad may be likely, but not a 1 to 1 correspondence.

[GeneralHankerchief]

TinCow's withdrawal is across the board. There's some lively discussion in the Throne Room going on right now that I'm sure he would be in the thick of were he present.

[seireikhaan]

This guy is great.

Just another note. You can't send in early orders. The earliest they can be sent in is after the voting deadline ends (even if I haven't posted the write up).

[Reenk Roink]

Note: Please send your orders

Day 2

Though the bickering on this day was less than on the day before, it was still significant enough to make the priest king Reenk Roink stay away from the settlers most of the day. He had more important things to attend to such as spend time with the widows of Gaius Scribonius Curio and Beefy in order to...comfort and console them.

At length the settlers had decided that the most vocal of them all was the man who was most likely to be an usurper. So the pizza guy whom everyone asked was chained and brought forth to the priest king. At this point, the pizza guy had gone quite insane and was reciting poems stating his desire to die.

Reenk Roink examined him quizzically and said: "A pity. This fellow was entertaining, and I sensed potential that he would have some good ideas for stopping the usurper threat."

With that the priest king gave the order to one of his Bronze Companions who swiped the head of the pizza guy off cleanly with one stroke of his sword.

In accordance with his wishes, all of the pizza guy's sheep were slaughtered at his execution.

Too willing to lynch someone who was quite obviously innocent, even after he committed to death.

[Captain Blackadder]

Us good men must stick together for I fear that the men are trying to kill us off for you see 3 of our brothers have fallen whilst 5 of them yet there are so few of us that we must remain ever vigilant.
