    His hunch is obviously that Tiberius is suspicious because everyone is voting for him, and for that reason he is probably mafia. Because the town is only supposed to lynch mafia, you know. It's pretty obvious, Sasaki, why couldn't you pick up on that in the first place?

    Unvote:Sasaki
    Vote:Cronos Impera

    my last vote was a reactionary angry vote, I might as well put my vote to a good use.

    Default Day III

    “Do not recklessly and presumptuously assume something to be true.”
    - Marcus Tullius Cicero


    The strain of the growing crisis was beginning to show in the Senate. Almost as soon as the session began the Senators began shouting and gesturing wildly at each other. Some men believed the writings that had been placed on the doors, some men refused to give them credit, and still other men somehow managed to both trust and doubt at the same time. This confusion of opinions spilled out onto the floor of the Senate, and the chaos was great. Former friends accused each other of the vilest of deeds and many volunteered private information to preserve their own necks.

    As the shadows grew longer and the Senate tired, slowly a consensus began to emerge. Tiberius of the Drake was accused of both remaining silent and speaking poorly. Unsatisfied with the other options presented to them, many Senators turned on their hapless colleague. Towards the end, a few friendly voices spoke up in his defense, but it was too little, and too late. When the session adjourned, the tally of votes showed Tiberius of the Drake in the lead; a last minute attempt to save him came up short.

    As on the day before, the proclamation was announced both on the rostra and in the Curia itself. Yet, Tiberius of the Drake put up a brave front and did not run as his predecessor had. Consigned to his fate, he requested that his death be carried out by one of his friends, so that his estate would not pass into unworthy hands. Several men reluctantly came forward to carry out the distasteful deed. Promises were made to ensure that Tiberius’ family would be provided for by those who were about to confiscate his property. The act itself was quick and clean, but the first sight of blood on the floor of the Senate was disheartening to all. The Senate quickly and quietly filed out into the night, to meet whatever fate awaited them.


    Tiberius of the Drake: 8 (Shinseikhaan, Sasaki Kojiro, GeneralHankerchief, Iskander 3.1, Tratorix, TheFlax, woad&fangs, johnhughthom)

    And the assumed vote switch never comes....... this is getting ridiculous. If the vote switchers were Caesars men they would have swapped the votes off of Tiberius, he has stated he was a Populare, so who the heck are they? Pompeys men? Or just two townies who want to screw with us. not good.

    I would simply like to point out that the bandwaggon against me was mainly pepetrated by Sasaki Kojiro.

    EDIT:this also seems to confirm that the vote switchers are pompeys men. This post may be edited later if I can come up with a good latin epitah

    It's entirely possible that they were townies who considered navarro to be a better lynch. Ichigo implies as much.

    There are four players who have failed for vote three times in a row. I have replaced three of them as follows:

    Done Corleone has been replaced by Gaius Scribonius Curio
    A Very Super Market has been replaced by Marshal Murat
    Lord Winter has been replaced by Askthepizzaguy

    None of the people replaced have ever posted in this thread since the game began. While Cronos Impera has also missed 3 consecutive votes, he has made several posts and attempted to vote once, but it was an illegal vote at night. I will thus refrain from WoGing him for the moment.

    First impressions would be that Aggonyduck was telling the truth. From what base knowledge I have Spinther was a ridiculuosly wealthy individual. With regards to the Cicero/Cato speculation, I'd suggest that Cato would certainly be optimates, but that I always viewed Cicero as a vacillator, (and a glory-hunter), and that we should be less sure of his alignment.

    I shall be back with more after a proper reading of the thread...

    Consuls, Praetors, Tribunes and my fellow Senators, allow me please to say a few words on the subject of our present crisis...

    Our liberty, lives and the Res Publica itself is in peril. And for what I would would have myself ask? To satisfy an ageing, preening fool's ambition? Whether Caesar or Pompey is to blame to starting this war, although I myself do have some feelings on the matter, the point remains, fellow Senators, that we are being terrorised with a view to one man, whoever he may be, setting himself up as a tyrant over our fair city.

    To this I say, how far we have fallen to allow such a travesty to come to pass! Now more than ever we must band together and oppose these extremists on both sides. As Marcus Tullius did with Catiline, uniting the orders and the city against a terrible threat, and saving the Republic, now we must show concord and cast these wretches from our wondrous city.

    Yes, I have shown my cowardice by not venturing these feelings before. But I am not the only man guilty of this. Senators, I implore you to put aside your differences, Optimate or Populares, and concentrate fully on stopping both our would be Reges.

    Stirring speech, dear Senator, but has already been shown, even in times of crisis, many go back upon their word, and are more concerned with power then the responsibility it entails. Only fear will motivate such men, for it is their objective to win - to lose would be a horrifying thought.

    So, dear senators of less then roman integrity, hearken to this, and hold it to your bosom, your cowardice filled heart - If you help the Tyrants, their will be no glory, no power for you, if you fail them, only death and a scribble upon the ledger as your estates are signed away to your would be savior.

    Help fight to save the Republic, and glory and honor will be yours, and heroes you will be to all.

    I would humbly suggest, Senator Sasaki, that we are not all only only childs. Caesar and Pompeius are however. Look at the number of brothers among our ranks today, The two Marcelli, and their cousin, the many Claudii (and Clodii), the great Marcus Cicero, and his brother Quintus...

    (OOC: Tincow seems to be heavily basing this on the actual events and just about every Roman nobleman was related to all the others...)

    Yes indeed there are many men here who are related to each other. We must not allow this to cloud our judgment. I feel I can speak as someone who in their foolish youth supported Cataline. I do admit that I was exposed to the passions of others but what we as noble romans must do is focus on finding those who are againest our fine republic. We must not falter our you will all see how easy it will be to stop all business, and how much Caesar, and those who care nothing for the Republic when their own interests are involved, hope that it may be so.

    The fact that you're collecting too much information for your own good gives me a bad feeling.

    Are you sure you're not going for victory condition (2)?
