The Settlement [Concluded]

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Awesome!

Our defeat was a result of the double and triple lynches. The right plan would have been to lynch all those not investigated, then look for suspects. But activity fell off so much.

Also...how does that townie info group look now?

Hello Sasaki Kojiro, thanks for playing

Don't die.

The best medical advice

You are The Blessing of Kefy

Background:

You were always a pious man, honoring the gods and helping your fellow men. The goddess Kefy was impressed by you and gave you the power to heal.

She did this by two ways. First she gave you some divine wisdom and supernatural powers of restoration. Second she taught you some important things about "normal" medicine.

Your new talents served you well. Word spread about you as some miracle man and you soon received the epithet "The Blessing of Kefy" for not only your healing skill but also your agreeable bedside manner.

You soon were elevated to the local priest king's personal surgeon, and you used the great influence you gained in such a position to make the lives of the people better in all ways. Your motto always was prevention over treatment.

When the priest king died he named you heir instead of his eldest son. However, you declined because you wanted to prevent jealousy and strife, because taking such a position would prevent you from having the time to heal, and because you were too humble.

One day, Kefy came to you in a dream informing you the the agents of the god of war and foreign peoples Vode were going to try and usurp the new settlements that were to be made on the frontier lands.

Without hesitation you left your comfortable position to sail with a group of settlers, that you may ease their suffering in the turbulent time to come.

Battle Rating:

3 – You are not a man of war by any means and have no military training or equipment, but your healing abilities more than easily make up for your lack of strength and it will take quite a bit more effort to put you down as compared to men with similar stature and strength.

Abilities:

Healing: Every night, you may go and visit a settler to see if he is in good health. This will involve going into his tent or house and treating him if he is injured or sick in anyway. With the goddess Kefy working through your hands any miracle is possible.

Victory Conditions:

Outlast the usurpers (settler victory)

Public Role:

lol!

Other people on hearing that you carry water

You are a Water Carrier

Background:

Why do you do the most humiliating job ever? The work that even slaves laugh at? There are many answers given to questions like these by many different people.

Your mother states you do it because you are the strongest man.

The farmers say you do it in order to piss in the water because you believe your urine has cosmetic benefits for the women who are not renowned for their beauty.

A pious priest says you do it because you are a kind man who likes to do beneficial services for the community.

A theory popular with academics is that you are actually an evil wizard who is putting some kind of dormant poison in the water. You will one day activate that poison which will make the entire settlement fond of nothing but archery. Then you will call in your army of mercenary swordsmen who will invade and a bloody battle will be fought with you eventually prevailing because swordsmen are strong against archers.

Some salute you, some ridicule you, and some warn against you but you go on, bringing water to the settlement every morning.

Battle Rating:

3 – Though you don’t have any military training or equipment, all the water lifting has made you ripped. You are stronger than most warriors. All the taunting has also given you thick skin.

Victory Conditions:

Outlast the usurpers (settler victory)

[TinCow]

Awesome!

So, were you actually pro-town? That guilty result I got on you was real, and I couldn't find any hint of possible errors when investigating priests in my role PM.

[boudica]

Wow - I yam confused indeed

[Yoyoma1910]

Curse my not fully seeing eyes.

Hello Yoyoma1910, thanks for playing

Kid: He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake...

OsiOsi: That Santa Claus is such a ****** charlatan.

OsiOsi on Santa Claus

You are The Eye of OsiOsi

Background:

OsiOsi, the sky god, the king of the gods, sees all.

When the peoples were created OsiOsi thought that because they knew he was always watching them, they would be respectful and prudish. This was not so, and the people flagrantly picked their noses and scratched their butts.

The fact that the peoples did not seem to care one bit that OsiOsi was watching them enraged the sky god immensely. This was what led to the first great flood... The descendants of the surviving peoples were just like their ancestors, and this is why the early history of the world is so riddled with floods...

However, it was OsiOsi who learned his lesson before the peoples learned theirs. A distant god watching did not really have much of an effect on human behavior, so instead, he created in humans an innate nosiness.

Now people were much more careful not to pick their noses and scratch their butts unless they were alone. Chalk up another win for OsiOsi.

Your very refined mannerisms have led you to become one of the special elect of OsiOsi, and therefore he grants you his sight and lets you see what he sees.

Battle Rating:

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

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.

Victory Conditions:

Outlast the usurpers (settler victory)

Public Role:

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)

[TinCow]

Oh, drat. I may have to clock this one up as my worst performance yet. A detective whose only contribution was to kill off the doctor.

[Yoyoma1910]

I imagine you (TinCow) were the one who had to investigate Seamus, since you seemed to detect religious types.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Oh, drat. I may have to clock this one up as my worst performance yet. A detective whose only contribution was to kill off the doctor.

I wonder what reenk's explanation for that is...


I have to say, the only thing I had against seamus this game was that I thought a mason was a prime target for a hidden mafia role. That's the kind of thing you love to do as a host. I think I would have advocated his lynch if it had gotten down to 3 left--LW and psychonaut seemed innocent. But that triple lynch...

I discounted seamus as a major suspect on the basis of his response to pizza guy when pizza accused him of not being trustworthy (after I'd implied via pm that seamus was in my cult). Seemed very genuine.

[LittleGrizzly]

Gah! i did mention seamus a few times as a possible suspect... making the comparison with TC's role from midgaard saga II

[Reenk Roink]

TinCow had the most... interesting role in terms of game mechanics...

[FactionHeir]

Btw Sasaki, how did your role really work anyway considering that you would make people well who seemed ill when you visit them? I didn't see any ill-making roles.

[Reenk Roink]

Seamus is away on vacation btw. Should be back at the 8th.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Tell me about it...

Btw Sasaki, how did your role really work anyway considering that you would make people well who seemed ill when you visit them? I didn't see any ill-making roles.

Should a settler be attacked on the night you want t visit him, he will probably not die.

I don't really know the details. I protected GH and yoyoma the two nights I was alive, but nothing happened to them. And then yoyo repaid me by accusing me of being guilty

Seamus is away on vacation btw. Should be back at the 8th.

Now that is just perfect...

[FactionHeir]

Oh, drat. I may have to clock this one up as my worst performance yet. A detective whose only contribution was to kill off the doctor.

Sig worthy

[FactionHeir]

Problem is that Seamus was investigated several times and each time found to be innocent, meaning he was impervious to investigation. As such, he could just play as if he was town without worrying about detective results or being lynched (due to being part of a pro town effort and ATPG's partner)
