The Settlement [Concluded]

[TinCow]

That role PM is faked:

Note: In the case of a duel against Sasaki, you must have neutralized his other role in the game or he is likely summon Chuck Norris and your chance of victory will be small indeed.

Against Chuck Norris, there is NO chance of victory. Any role PM that allows for even a "small" chance of victory is obviously fabricated.

[Reenk Roink]

As dawn rose from her slumber the settlers saw that, for the first time in a long time, there were no murders! There was much rejoicing, although everyone had to be careful to avoid the pools of vomit left by the captain of something named Blackadder who apparently had a long night of hitting the sauce.

The party was ended as the priest king Reenk Roink emerged from his temple complex and announced: "While there were no murders today and it does seem that the usurpers have been foiled, there are still loose ends that have not been tied up. So go and tie them up!"

[Sasaki Kojiro]

So...white_eyes, what do you have to report?

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Welly, welly, well.

As promised, and hearing no definitive town commentary to the contrary, I:

Challenge: Captain Blackadder

and

Vote: Count Arach.


I'm 'suadable if better ideas and/or vote targets surface. I'll monitor.


EDIT:

Sasaki-san has posed a pertinent question.


Also, as TinCow rightly notes, the PM was faked. Chuck is, of course, invincible.

[White_eyes:D]

The thing that I don't buy are his claims that his Iffo-defeating ability is a one-shot deal and that if he picks the wrong person he loses it.

I never hinted at it being a shot-ability and your digging too much into it......I only wanted to make Lord Winter, spill the beans....clearly he didn't (or can't)

The only way that would be balanced is if he could also investigate, and he clearly can't do that because he's flailing around like crazy pointing fingers at people. If he could investigate, he would have kept quiet about his ability, investigated whoever he thought was guilty, and gone from there.

One, Pisuf could have killed me....I didn't want that and could give early warning to town, that Pisuf is SK(which we know anyway)....if "The Watcher" lost....what chance does his apprentice have??? Two, Being his apprentice, I have no really good ability's other then stopping Iffo....I tried investigating Andres on night one....and I got his Merchant cover role...I also investigated CB on night two and got his Priest cover role...after all that, I figured investigating is worthless, since I will never get a "real result" (My role is pretty humorous compared to LG's....it's like I idolized "The Watcher" but never was nearly as good ).

[White_eyes:D]

So...white_eyes, what do you have to report?

I didn't use it.....I don't want people lynching me over them losing there duel score..... Unless I am sure it is Iffo...(I doubt it works on anyone else... or Pisuf would be a crappy beggar right now....)

[TinCow]

Any night without a kill is a perfect night. As the Iffo situation remains unclear, the best option is to get the first CountArach lynch over with.

[edit] Worth nothing, however, that Blackadder was blocked last night, which could explain Iffo's lack of appearance.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Ok...ehhh.

Lynch CA, have yoyoma duel blackadder, and have white_eyes take on taka.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'll help the town in the best way possible: by finally, finally, shutting the heck up.

This I do for the town. For the Priest King! For the righteous Gods! For Townies everywhere! I feel a speech coming on. It's in spoilers as it's quite lengthy.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I intend to post this speech every hour, on the hour, until we win! I won't break my promise, I promise!

[White_eyes:D]

white_eyes take on taka.

You want me.....to take on a monster like taka???? fine....Challenge:taka

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I mean tonight...isn't your role to eliminate Iffo at night? Mind posting your role pm?

[White_eyes:D]

I mean tonight...isn't your role to eliminate Iffo at night? Mind posting your role pm?

I am going to trust you??? I have my own plan for luring Iffo out......

[Askthepizzaguy]

Can I post my real role pm now...

It's against the rules, technically, but I wanna.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Got the go-ahead from the host. Here it is:

Hello Askthepizzaguy, thanks for playing Now that you are dead, here is your real role.

The steaming, piping hot slice of justice; I shall deliver upon thee like a delivery person of some sort, carrying pizza. Like some sort of pizza guy.

Askthepizzaguy, regarding himself

You are the Zombie Lord

Background:

You love being dead. Death is the most wonderful feeling... you never have to be questioned or accused of being scum. It is that which cleanses the body of sin, and the mind of shame or fear. Once dead, you are unstoppable. You pray to the Dark God Vode, and he has given you powers beyond those of all other mortal men. Once dead, it is your mission to convert all the other dead people to the side of Vode. If you manage to convert a dead God, then you will have enslaved a God as the property of Vode, binding him in the chains of servitude. You will also begin feeding upon the innocent, because their blood and flesh gives you strength.

Your side mission is to destroy the Tax Collector, because any who give their money to the Tax Collector end up without any money to tithe to the Temple of Vode, which funds the armies of Vode among the living.

Battle Rating:

Infinite – As you are already dead, nothing can destroy you in a duel. However, if a priest of Kefy, the Earth Goddess, casts a spell of banishment, you will be banished forever.

Victory Conditions:

Destroy the Tax collector
Destroy all the settlers (usurper victory)

or

Destroy any living God and convert them to serve Vode. (Vode victory)

I was pro-town until you lynched me. Is it any wonder I wanted to die?

[TinCow]

I recommend no duels at all. We have no guarantee that they will prove anything and it's far more likely that it will just result in one fewer townie voting during the day. With this insistence on dueling, the remaining scum could continue to refrain from killing at night and still keep whittling us down. Better to duel no one, lynch CA twice, and block CB during the nights until CA is dealt with and we can spare a lynch for him.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

My role pm makes so much more sense now.

edit: the bit about banishment was a little vague reenk.

I disagree, duels are awesome.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Yep, my role is the awesomest ever. I think that Reenk wrote the roles to reflect what he knew of the personalities of the people he gave the roles to.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Why don't we ask CA to duel taka? I'm pretty sure taka is Iffo...no reason for him to have that duel score.

Besides, a 10 vs 7 duel would be sweet.

[Lord Winter]

Vote: Count Arch

We can not allow an ultra powerful god serial killer to live for much longer. Even if he is pro town we should at least get one of the lynches out of the way so we can keep in line by threatening to kill him if things go wrong.

[White_eyes:D]

I might reveal my role to Pisuf.....advice on this???? (I might need his help on this one...)

[Lord Winter]

Why not simply post your pm in the thread?

[TinCow]

I might reveal my role to Pisuf.....advice on this???? (I might need his help on this one...)

Sure, why not. Your statements have been utterly irrational and inherently unbelievable for so long now that I'll go along with it. Go wild, spill your guts. Tell him your deepest, darkest secrets. I'm sure you two will make a lovely pair and live happily ever after.

[White_eyes:D]

Why not simply post your pm in the thread?

Because I can't trust anyone who might be a servant of Iffo...(I think he has a few...)Sasaki.....ATPG....Lord Winter....Everyone..... yep....I have sort of lost it....trusting a Serial Killer god....

[Captain Blackadder]

Vote Count Arach

Can I post what Reenk said when I was role blocked?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Vote Count Arach

Can I post what Reenk said when I was role blocked?

Yeah.

Btw, CountArach, you will probably die tomorrow unless you take out Iffo. So it is definitely in your interest to challenge taka.

And, taka, if you refuse his challenge, you will almost certainly get lynched.

edit: Fight! Fight! Fight! Don't let the game end without a single duel!

I am going to trust you???

I believe the point is we don't trust you.

[Captain Blackadder]

You retire to your simple home at night, saddened at the situation the settlement is in. Being a noble man in the true sense however, you do not wish any ill on those that wish ill on you. Rather, you begin to spend the entire night in prayer, calling on the gods to guide your fellow settlers' hearts.

After praying for quite some time, you hear a knock on your door. Opening it, you find a bottle of wine with a pretty ribbon on it. Although you intended to pray the entire night, you take this as a sign from OsiOsi that he is pleased with you and wishes you enjoy yourself for your service. So you drink, and your troubles go away.

Once again it shows that I am innocent

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I do think a demon would be able to handle more than a bottle of wine before vomiting everywhere. Although I suppose it wouldn't be hell if it had booze.

[CountArach]

Hello taka, thanks for playing

Much of the information contained in this message is not necessarily true and not available in all locations and valid for a limited time only.

Terms and conditions

You are a Merchant

Background:

You were a veteran General of the old lands, gifted with superb skills in battle and a worthy opponent to any that faced you – the perfect soldier. But you hated killing and bloodshed. You decided to leave the battlefield of war and now that is all in the past. You looked for peace and got it.

You now make your living by selling your products to other people who either do not need them or would be better off buying other products.

However, life for a merchant is tough in the big city with all the competition, which leads to drama, then politics, then violence. Because of this you got together with a few of your merchant acquaintances to decide what to do next.

Common sense eventually dictated that you all go find new settlements to live in. This way there would be less competition leading to more demand leading to more profit. You all agreed to follow this plan; all but one.

One among you decided instead to write a book about this plan and submit it to the local priest king. The priest king was so impressed by this plan’s applicability that he elevated the author to the chief administrative office and declared that he had invented a new science called Economics.

Somewhat jealous at your acquaintance’s newfound success, you nevertheless are optimistic at testing the unsaturated markets of the new settlements.

Battle Rating:

6 – You are a veteran. Your military training, natural talent of with weapons, years of battle experience and war victories has hardened you to be one of the best warriors of the land. Very few can match your skill – even after leaving the battlefield.

Note: Because you hate killing and bloodshed, you may not issue any challenges. However, you may accept challenges as your defence.


Victory Conditions:

Outlast the usurpers (settler victory)
