Rubicon [Concluded]

[Beefy187]

I had a one use investigation ability which I used up last night on ichigo who ended up killed the same night.

Who with?

Also, I don't mind being unvoted..
Only lynch me if you are really really out of option please

[Greyblades]

What do you mean "with who", I said its an ability; a one use investigation without the need of a partner.

neat

Sorry, I wasn't paying much attention...

[Greyblades]

Yeah I thought it was neat too. Pity the guy I used it on was an innocent townie who ended up murderend.

So this would happen to be the 'clientela' ability?

[AggonyDuck]

You send a servant off with a message to your client inside GeneralHankerchief’s villa. Several hours later, the servant returns with a wax tablet inscribed by the client himself. He reports that GeneralHankerchief is firm in his support of the Populares faction and adds a note about unusual activity around the villa last night. Your client signs off with a message indicating that his debt to you is now repayed. You can expect no further aid from that source.

You send a servant off with a message to your client inside Ichigo’s villa. Several hours later, the servant returns with a wax tablet inscribed by the client himself. He reports that Ichigo is firm in his support of the Optimates faction. The tablet indicates that Ichigo himself did not appear to be active in any way last night. Your client signs off with a message indicating that his debt to you is now repayed. You can expect no further aid from that source.

In the morning, you hear disturbing news that Ichigo was killed during the night.

The first one is my investigation on GH from Night 1, where he apparently had his lictors protect him. In your investigation of Ichigo, it appears that he did not protect himself nor did he protect anyone else either. Overall the contrast is very strange as I would had expected Ichigo to be active in some way tonight.

Uh yeah. Seeing as I can't use it again I may aswell show it

Special Ability:
(1) Clientela: As a prominent Senator, you have spent a lifetime cultivating an expansive web of connections. All over Rome, men both high and low owe you great obligations. In this time of crisis, you have decided to call in one of your most valuable favors. One of your clients is well-placed inside the household of another Senator, and he will provide you with information. You may investigate alone once. The investigation will show the target's faction and whether the target was active, though not what they were doing.

Vote Count:

Beefy 2 (khaan,ignoramus)
everyone 1 (tratorix)



Well, beefy should be lynched, if you don't agree I would say tratorix is next most likely.

It's funny actually, by killing me the mafia gave up any chance of defending themselves against my arguments or forcing me to reveal information about the townie network...suffice it to say, I arrived at beefy and tratorix as my top two by a process of elimination based on the amount of information I had at my fingertips, and by some inconsistencies from the pm's I had.

I will offer them a little something they can defend against though.

Beefy is displaying the same mafia tell that several other known mafia have. The "oh sure I'd love to help!" coupled with a lack of real effort, since they are mainly concerned with convincing others of their innocence. He is also defending himself today in a very mafioso manner. So calm and helpful and earnest.

Tratorix, most of my evidence is not post able, so you'll have to trust my judgment on that.

What night actions did you take before I pm'd you to join a protection group tratorix?

[Caius]

Only lynch me if you are really really out of option please

Looks like there is not another option at the moment, there are a lot of people that doesnt are active at the moment. Id vote everyone, but it is useless, TC kill both senators and doesnt let us to untie the tie. So, unless therre is something else I wont cast a vote now.

In your investigation of Ichigo, it appears that he did not protect himself nor did he protect anyone else either. Overall the contrast is very strange as I would had expected Ichigo to be active in some way tonight.

From the write-up:

Ichigo looked hesitantly to right and left. No one else was in sight. Surely they were just late and would appear… now! He looked around again, seeing nothing. A single bead of sweat ran down Ichigo’s face as the gladii-armed men finally reached him, their blades thrusting forward to disembowel him. The last through that ran through his head was a niggling suspicion that he had forgotten to do something important.

I think it's pretty obvious that Ichigo didn't send in his orders last night.

Whoops almost forgot about this.

Vote:Beefy

Pretty much following Sasaki on this one.

[Andres]

So, how should he defend himself then? Upset, unhelpful and lying? What does it take to satisfy you?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Also, andres is coming to beefy's defense, which is just what I would expect if beefy were mafia.

Are you sure about the person who told you I am mafia? Because for once, my dearest Sasaki, I'm not mafia.

If I were, I would now be enjoying myself with spouting obfuscating nonsense instead of actively trying to help town.

Or are you perhaps working towards a mafia victory?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I don't think you are mafia...but "how should he defend himself" is not the question. I'm not criticizing his playing style. I'm pointing out things that smell guilty to my gut. The path you propose leads to naught but sophistry.

[johnhughthom]

Come on guys, 5 votes out of 16 is pretty pathetic.

[Greyblades]

Vote: Beefy

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Hmm, I reread some things and I think Tratorix is a much better lynch.

The bandwagon on beefy went up much too easily in any case.

20 minutes to deadline

My fault for not rereading sooner. I got things mixed up. Beefy is probably innocent.

[LittleGrizzly]

There seem to be a few good candidates for the lynch but none stand out more than Beefy for me... sorry you got to go

Vote Beefy

Edit: way to get me rethinking my case...

[LittleGrizzly]

Hmm i am tempted to switch to tratorix, he was much more cooperative with my request for night results though... ill keep my vote on beefy for the moment...

I think beefy is innocent, mind pm'ing john and iskander and asking them to switch to tratorix?

14 minutes! Ack!

[LittleGrizzly]

Ok if your sure...

Unvote Beefy

Day 9 is over. Write-up commencing.

[LittleGrizzly]

Phew! Talk about cutting it fine...

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Classic!

I'm sorry beefy, it looks like you're still going to get caught in the crossfire, my bad for not rereading earlier. I'd remembered something as being the opposite of what it really was

[johnhughthom]

Don't forget my vote got switched last time. Who knows what's going to happen, did we get enough votes changed?
