    I'd suspect that you can either kill or investigate but not both. I don't buy your post above - unless I'm misunderstanding it, but it doesn't matter - you are fairly easy to spot in the write-ups if you do kill again.

    Personally I believe you already have White_Eyes:D's full role PM, but I guess it also doesn't matter whether or not you spend a night investigating him - and then moving on to everyone left alive - unless anyone else is killed of course.

    You are Jolt (Aliases: Strider/Aragorn)

    Background:

    You are Jolt, a lean, dark and tall, with shaggy dark hair "flecked with grey", grey eyes, and a stern pale face. You are said to be often grim and sad, with unexpected moments of levity. You are 1.98 m (6 ft 6 in) tall..

    You possess Elven wisdom due to your childhood in Rivendell with Elrond and the foresight of the Dúnedain. You are a skilled healer, notably with the plant athelas (also known as Kingsfoil). You are also a mighty warrior and an unmatched commander; after the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, you, Éomer and Imrahil are said to be left unscathed, even though you had been in the thick of the fighting. Due to your position as Isildur's heir, you had impressive powers for a Man, and, as the rightful owner of the palantíri could use the Orthanc stone in Sauron's despite.

    Your destiny is to selfishly steal the Dead Man's Army which Askthepizzaguy will inevitably form and use it to reunify your kingdom (You must kill the Priest-King and Sauron in the meantime)


    Battle Rating:

    6 - You are awesome in stature and your very presence makes people wary as it emanates power. You are one of the most skilled in the use of sword-fighting, and your blows can cause terrible damage, plus you are one of the uber-protagonist of a series of blockbuster movies.

    Abilities:

    Kill: Every night period, you may attempt to kill one settler. With your powerful influence in the direction of the movie/game, you have many avenues of murder, to which you can coerce the director/GM into, at your disposal.

    Victory Conditions:

    Outlast the Sauron (Gondor victory)
    Outlast the Priest-King (Gondor victory)

    I applaud and bow to your efforts. You're probably a lot more in the know than I am, so forgive this comment likely made out of ignorance and extreme caution:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    It's very possible you're right, and I don't recommend you deviate from your plan. However, don't fall into the same trap I always fall into, which is to assume you're correct and then overlook other suspects, like I've done in several games. Be sure to look at alternative theories and question people and get as much information as you can. Also, massive bandwagon on CountArach may not be necessary; let the Good Men abstain, perhaps... so the tally can be changed if necessary.

    Suggestions from your dead, but loyal, occasional fool.

    Your caution is not misplaced, ATPG. No need to spoiler that comment, as it's a sensible one. The lack of any kills combined with this:

    indicates to me that it is possible for the game to end in this round. For those of you with any doubt remaining about CountArach, I'm sure Yoyoma will provide you with all the evidence you need whenever he gets online.

    With the lack of kills, I think we could actually afford not to duel anyone today. However, if CountArach is recruiting during the night, we have bigger problems. I am very, very pleased with how things are going, but I also think of the tortoise and the hare. The hare was about to win, until the very end when he got overconfident and decided to sleep on the job.

    Speaking of which.... zzzz

    There's still the refrence to vode that we need to deal with. Ethier that means that CA is aligned with Vode or else there's another scum role laying low for now.

    I say we be certain, lynch CA this round and dual Blackadder just to make sure.

    I don't think Arach is a friend of the town -- sorry CA.

    I don't think Arach is the last of the usurpers/threats.

    I will vote: CountArach because I see no clearer path.

    I will also accept challenge: Cpt. Blackadder, though if another duel is preferred, I will step aside once more.

    The latest write-up seems that we are tantalisingly close, but as has already been noted several times - the previous write-up alluded to Vode still being in with a shot. Although there doesn't seem to be a better lynch target than CountArach - I hope that we don't regret lynching him if another powerful agent of Vode becomes evident. (I think that we would have been in serious trouble with Iffo if Pisuf had already been dealt with).

    However - it is possible still that CA DID choose the path of Vode and that by lynching him we eliminate the Usurper threat once and for all.

    vote: CountArach

    You prepare for the night vigil once more, seeking the knowledge of the king of the gods of the true nature of the captain of something named Blackadder and OsiOsi inspires you as such:
    If thou ever feeleth the desire to striketh another, restrain thyself and burneth a pound of meat to OsiOsi. He will allow thee to bed the wife of thee enemy.

    A priest's sermon
    You are a Priest

    Background:

    There are a two prerequisites for becoming a priest:

    1) Being old
    2) Being a virgin

    After that you can worship the gods all the time instead of just on weekends!


    Battle Rating:

    1 – Devoting yourself to the rituals of the gods leaves little time for military training. The strongest man is the one with the strongest faith as you say.

    Victory Conditions:

    Outlast the usurpers (settler victory)

    Sigh... I guess I might as well come clean. I just hope this solves the issue:

    Night 3:

    Quote Originally Posted by Reenk Roink

Many minutes later without a response, you begin to feel very worried at the lack of contact with the god.

    Suddenly a flash of inspiration seizes you, you are shocked when given the identity of the common count called Arach:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    I shared a bottle of wine with him once and woke up with a terrible pain in my loins...

    Kefy the goddess of the earth on you
    You are Pisuf

    Background:

    The god of the arts, you are the patron of the things which some misguided fools, both divine and mortal, call low. You inspire man to create the most exquisite works of pornographic poetry and pottery from his deepest and most basic instincts.

    You are a free spirit and some call you a troublemaker, including that hard*** OsiOsi, lord of the sky and king of the gods. He didn't give a damn when you bedded his wife Remi along with three mortal woman in his chambers. Yet when you farted during the assembly and then blamed it on him he banished you from the Divine Forest and forced you into a mortal form...

    As you walked among the mortals you made your presence felt in many ways. You were the one who started the great Civil War by first going to each different priest king and making many interleaving treaties. Then you triggered the war by disguising yourself as one priest king and sleeping with anothers' wife. You singlehandedly ended years of famine in one city by introducing a thousand talents of gold into the economy and you brought the end of another city by stealing the money from them. You rounded up all the disenfranchised people in a city and had them overthrow the priest king only to personally lead an army to reinstate the priest king when the new rulers become corrupt with power.

    Your actions have been labeled as many things by the mortals, but you are a god, far above the standards of men, and so it bothers you little that you have been accused of indulgent caprice.

    OsiOsi has given you a redemption quest which you have ignored for far too long. You are to find and kill an impious man who dishonors the gods. He is called The Psyensil and OsiOsi gave word that he was heading with a group to found a new settlement. You have jumped along with this group. Given the situation, your mission taking a backseat to the opportunities for fun you will have.


    Battle Rating:

    10 - Although your status as an god has been stripped from you, you still are the most powerful mortal being on the world. Standing over nine feet tall in this mortal form, you are more fearsome in war than the greatest heroes of legend ever were. Your knowledge far surpasses the greatest sages of this world and you have an incredible command of magic. You will indeed seem like a god to these mortals.

    Abilities:

    Investigation: Every night period, you may attempt an investigation on one settler. This will involve making a request to OsiOsi who will then send you down the exact knowledge on that settler.

    Resistances: Due to your unique status, you will be unaffected in many ways from the world around you. However, you do not know the limits of your resistances and they may change depending on the path you choose.

    Kill: Every night period, you may attempt to kill one settler. You will have many methods at your disposal to perform this deed

    Note: You may only perform one action each night (you cannot both investigate and kill on the same night).

    Victory Conditions:

    Your victory conditions depend wholly on what course you decide to follow. You can ally yourself with the settlers or you can ally yourself with the usurpers or you can give aid to neither and go your own way. However, a necessary condition for your victory regardless of which course you undertake is that you must outlast The Psyensil.

    Note: Send me your choice at any point during the game while you are still alive. You cannot change your choice.

    Public Role:

    Can I get it with chicken?

    A customer when buying a bowl
    You are a Potter

    Background:

    Why did you become a potter? You often think about this question when your mind is idle on the wheel.

    The most widely held theory is that you are descended from a tribe which incorporated pottery into a central position of their hunting rituals. Your tribe believed that if the hunter cannot see the prey then the prey cannot see the hunter and so one man of the tribe ingeniously instructed the hunters to put clay bowls over their heads so as to increase productivity during a famine.

    Other theories have recently been advanced, more based on actual reality, such as the theory that you have inherited your profession supported by the fact that your father and your father’s father were potters, but so far these have not gained popularity from academics or the general public at large.

    Whatever the reason, every new settlement needs a potter to make sure that the history and culture of a people is remembered when the potsherds are dug up thousands of years later (as well as the less important reason for providing vessels for various uses).


    Battle Rating:

    1 - You continue the traditions of your tribe by putting a pot over your head when you go into battle. Unfortunately, baked clay is not that effective at protecting against blows and also a pot over the eyes impedes vision.

    Victory Conditions:

    Outlast the usurpers (settler victory)


    A command also comes from the king of the gods: Do not reveal his identity or work against him in any manner. At least not yet. When he has served my purpose then you may do as you please.

    Intrigued by the revelation but ever faithful to the command of OsiOsi, you begin to speculate as to what Pisuf is up to and for what end OsiOsi is using him.

    This is broken by a knock on your door. As you open it you see the familiar sight of a bottle of wine with a pretty ribbon on it. You chuckle softly as you think of the man who sends you this gift repeatedly after you complete your rituals. You make a short prayer that he be shown the light for his gift, despite his misguided motivations.

    After a good half hour of drinking, you feel very drowsy and lie on your bed. As soon as you are about to give in totally from slumber, a striking vision of a incredibly handsome figure towering nine feet high appears. The figure speaks: "You serve OsiOsi, but - regrettably - I do too. Now serve me!"

    Despite your fidelity to OsiOsi and your misgivings about Pisuf, you feel compelled to oblige. However, you also feel the presence of OsiOsi in the background, as if he has only stepped out of the way momentarily, and can at anytime free you from the influence of Pisuf.

    Note: you have been converted by the god Pisuf (as you know from your night vigil he is the common count called Arach). You must now serve him and his cult unconditionally. His victory conditions are now yours, otherwise your role and abilities remain the same. He may want to contact you and you may want to contact him.

    Note: Your victory conditions have changed

    Victory Conditions

    Outlast The Psyensil
    Outlast the settlers
    Outlast the usurpers

    Ca then sent me this:

    Genius, innit?

    I'll send you my real one as well and I will explain what I would like to happen in the game.

    Kefy the goddess of the earth on you
    You are Pisuf

    Background:

    The god of the arts, you are the patron of the things which some misguided fools, both divine and mortal, call low. You inspire man to create the most exquisite works of pornographic poetry and pottery from his deepest and most basic instincts.

    You are a free spirit and some call you a troublemaker, including that hard*** OsiOsi, lord of the sky and king of the gods. He didn't give a damn when you bedded his wife Remi along with three mortal woman in his chambers. Yet when you farted during the assembly and then blamed it on him he banished you from the Divine Forest and forced you into a mortal form...

    As you walked among the mortals you made your presence felt in many ways. Primarily though, you were the soul who ended the great Civil War by turning the priests of the false gods amongst each other. Unfortunately you invoked the ire of the ‘Great ***hole in the sky’ when you ‘accidentally’ tripped and stabbed the high priest of OsiOsi in several of the other cities.

    Your actions have been labeled as many things by the gods, but they can do little for you are still a god, far above the standards of men, and so it bothers you little that you have been accused of indulgent caprice, especially when it comes to stabbing things.

    OsiOsi has given you a redemption quest which you have ignored for far too long. You are to find and kill a certain group of men who lurk amongst a new settler group who go against the will of OsiOsi. Any fun you might wish to have must take a back seat to your mission.


    Battle Rating:

    10 - Although your status as a god has been stripped from you, you still are the most powerful mortal being on the world. Standing over nine feet tall in this mortal form, you are more fearsome in war than the greatest heroes of legend ever were. Your knowledge far surpasses the greatest sages of this world and you have an incredible command of magic. You will indeed seem like a god to these mortals.

    Abilities:

    Investigation: Every odd-numbered night period, you may attempt an investigation on one settler. This will involve making a request to OsiOsi who will then send you down the exact knowledge on that settler.

    Resistances: Due to your unique status, you will be unaffected in many ways from the world around you. However, you do not know the limits of your resistances and they may change depending on the path you choose.

    Kill: Every even-numbered night period, you may attempt to kill one settler. You will have many methods at your disposal to perform this deed

    Victory Conditions:

    Outlast the usurpers (settler victory)

    Public Role:

    Can I get it with chicken?

    A customer when buying a bowl
    You are a Potter

    Background:

    Why did you become a potter? You often think about this question when your mind is idle on the wheel.

    The most widely held theory is that you are descended from a tribe which incorporated pottery into a central position of their hunting rituals. Your tribe believed that if the hunter cannot see the prey then the prey cannot see the hunter and so one man of the tribe ingeniously instructed the hunters to put clay bowls over their heads so as to increase productivity during a famine.

    Other theories have recently been advanced, more based on actual reality, such as the theory that you have inherited your profession supported by the fact that your father and your father’s father were potters, but so far these have not gained popularity from academics or the general public at large.

    Whatever the reason, every new settlement needs a potter to make sure that the history and culture of a people is remembered when the potsherds are dug up thousands of years later (as well as the less important reason for providing vessels for various uses).


    Battle Rating:

    1 - You continue the traditions of your tribe by putting a pot over your head when you go into battle. Unfortunately, baked clay is not that effective at protecting against blows and also a pot over the eyes impedes vision.

    Victory Conditions:

    Outlast the usurpers (settler victory)

    And this:

    As you walked among the mortals you made your presence felt in many ways. You were the one who started the great Civil War by first going to each different priest king and making many interleaving treaties. Then you triggered the war by disguising yourself as one priest king and sleeping with another’s wife. You singlehandedly ended years of famine in one city by introducing a thousand talents of gold into the economy and you brought the end of another city by stealing the money from them. You rounded up all the disenfranchised people in a city and had them overthrow the priest king only to personally lead an army to reinstate the priest king when the new rulers become corrupt with power.

    Your actions have been labeled as many things by the mortals, but you are a god, far above the standards of men, and so it bothers you little that you have been accused of indulgent caprice.

    OsiOsi has given you a redemption quest which you have ignored for far too long. You are to find and kill an impious man who dishonors the gods. He is called The Psyensil and OsiOsi gave word that he was heading with a group to found a new settlement. You have jumped along with this group. Given the situation, your mission taking a backseat to the opportunities for fun you will have.

    Note: You may only perform one action each night (you cannot both investigate and kill on the same night).

    Victory Conditions:

    Your victory conditions depend wholly on what course you decide to follow. You can ally yourself with the settlers or you can ally yourself with the usurpers or you can give aid to neither and go your own way. However, a necessary condition for your victory regardless of which course you undertake is that you must outlast The Psyensil.

    Note: Send me your choice at any point during the game while you are still alive. You cannot change your choice.

Now, he is willing to give you a second chance to accomplish your mission.

    Abilities:

    Note: You keep your existing abilities. These are just additions and updates.

    Conversion: One night period, you may attempt to convert a settler to follow you cult alone. This will abrogate any existing victory conditions he has and he will share your victory conditions. He will keep whatever abilities and battle ratings he had prior to his conversion. This ability can only be used once.

    Note: The Psyensil cannot be converted.

    Resistances: Should you get lynched, you will continue on in the game unaffected. However, this ability is used up after one lynch and should you be lynched again, it will be the normal case.

    Note: You may only perform one action each night (you either convert, investigate, or kill on each night).

    Victory Conditions:

    Outlast the Psyensil
    Outlast the settlers
    Outlast the usurpers

    Now what I need from you is to see if you can get LG to send you a copy of his role PM. State that you have a pro-town group forming that you want him to join, but a condition of entry is that he must send his role PM to you (This should work because he thinks you are innocent). When you get it, forward it to me and I shall then send it to TinCow as my night investigation result. Thus there would be no way of knowing that I converted you.

    Until I get this role PM I shall be using Invisible mode and I shall remain silent in the thread, as well as not reading TinCow's PMs, so that he can't track me.


    After TinCow's death:

    ...


    I then tried to reach a compromised solution which would allow both parties to win. It didn't work:

    It is important for us that faith in the gods exist in the men of this settlement. With out belief and faith what are the gods but faded memories? I have tried my best to do all that OsiOsi asked of me, and I have helped the people to remain faithful to him and the Priest King as best I could.

    The Psynesil is dead, and so faith can continue in this land. But I doubt my own life shall continue, for there are new agents that would rid the world of those faithful to OsiOsi.

    Pisuf, though he stands now to achieve his own goals, has done nothing outwardly to harm the settlers. Indeed, he has helped them. Immensely.

    Great OsiOsi, you asked me to follow him... and I did so though it broke my heart. Now I humbly ask you: allow him to change his goals and offer him again the chance to work on the side of these settlers.

    Without his help, these people, and all hope of decent faith in this land are doomed.

    If that's not possible, investigate Ichigo.

Disappointed, you ask the sky god to reveal to you the true nature of the quietest man Ichigo, which he does:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Your mother reminds me of the most just socio-economic ideal: every worker gets a share!

    Laborer inside joke
    You are a Laborer

    Background:

    Once upon a time the gods would build buildings and plow fields for humans. Then some stupid priest king tried to kill the gods because he was upset at how he had to walk downstairs to use the bathroom in his palace. Needless to say, the gods weren't happy with this ungrateful attitude towards their architectural design and so they made humans work.

    So you work. It really isn't that bad, but your lot are a bunch of lazy whiners so they always complain and are ungrateful to the benevolent bourgeois.

    You make a long list of grievances, but they really are pretenses for wanting a cushy white robe job like the priests and bureaucrats have where they just look at pretty women when their bosses aren't looking.


    Battle Rating:

    3 – Your line of work really toughens up a man, and even though you don't have any military training or equipment, you are pretty tough to fight.

    Victory Conditions:

    Outlast the usurpers (settler victory)

    Anyway... so that sums that all up n a nut shell.

    So cancel the blackadder duel... CA lynch is now confirmed for sure with Yoyoma coming forward...

    Ichigo also confirmed innocent...

    Who do we have left to look at... WE's role faking... potentially to help the town could just be a cover... any other people suspect for some reason... or just a list of people who haven't been cleared by investigation...

    We shouldn't just vote CA and not comment this round... there could be other scum we need to find and its best to be prepared...

    I then asked Little Grizzly to try and take him down... sorry LG. Didn't know it wouldn't work.

    No worries... aslong as my death is not in vain!
    In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!

    Apologies for my earlier statements fingering Yoyoma and making some of you paranoid about further Pisuf recruits. That was designed to keep Yoyoma clear from suspicion by CA. The information I got on CA after I died came from Yoyoma, not Reenk. My priority was to keep CA from killing Yoyoma until we could lynch CA twice. If there are further scum out there, Yoyoma should be able to locate them.

    Based on Yoyoma's recent investigations and the ones that were accomplished earlier in the game, the only living people who have not been investigated and found innocent (other than CA) are:
    White_eyes:D
    Lord Winter
    Psychonaut
    Tristan de Castelreng
    Sigurd
    Seamus Fermanagh
