Netherworld III: Final Judgment [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

Haven't you guys ever heard of the Epic of Gilgamesh?

Ishtar kills ALL her lovers. ALL of them. And the ones she doesn't kill, she turns into goats. Or cows.

So let me ask you, townies. Would you rather die, or live the rest of your life as a goat? If you ask nicely, she might even let you choose!

You make several excellent points.

A quick rebuttal, if I may?

Dear cult recruits,

Just to let you know that if your aim this day phase is to take out the recently active killer (& not take out the remaining townies, or if your victory is already assured), then you're currently on the wrong track by lynching me, and you'll find soon enough w/ another kill write-up at the end of the next night.

I suggest, that is if this message isn't falling onto deaf ears (or blind eyes?), that you switch your vote on another player whom you know has not been recruited yet.
Or in a clever twist, lynch whoever is your cult leader, or maybe perhaps your fellow recruited power role, as he may very well be playing w/ you all, it being a nasty surprise by the host.

Regards, the guy who acted too suicidal to be anti-town

Mmmmm...

Vote: Beskar

I'm assuming he ain't one of you recruits, but I'm open to suggestions

[TheLastDays]

The killer is obviously their cult leader and it seems they're fine with what's happening, just removing any final opposition

[Earthling]

Yeah, there are no non-town, non-cult roles unaccounted for. It's just the cult leader and they're eliminating everyone non-cult.

This would be an awesome serial killer victory if that's what we get, all the cultists slaughtered as well, but not sure what's going to happen. Not looking at all like a town victory.

I think the ultimate problem we had was that while several vanilla townies definitely did great, we only had two town power roles who accomplished anything at all. I think it's likely traitorix was a town vig too but he died most unfortunately right at the start, removing the only tool the town ever seemed to have against the cult.

After that, any other townies must have been inactive or didn't use their abilities to any good effect that anyone has heard of, plus so many people seemed to be straight out neutral and they all seemed to want to use their abilities against, rather than with the town. 2 town roles versus a good dozen non-town roles and most of them power roles too just doesn't work, but we came surprisingly close. (Of course, I think we'll probably see things were pretty balanced in the end, and just massive inactivity plus some fail play by true neutrals resulted in the above)

[Earthling]

Actually not giving Believer credit that's due. Sorry. While he might have been neutral, the role meant to cause chaos and busdriver or whatever, we appreciate the effort to help the town anyway.

I missed the day vote by a couple hours..... :sad


Good write up Khaany.

"So no, pumpkin," the old man answered. "When they convened once more and another was gone from their ranks, an irate Mainyu demanded they find the one responsible. But, this time, it seemed those remaining were not keen for debate. A relatively quiet, quick run of votes against Glyphz assured his demise, with seemingly little doubt from the crowd that it was he who was guilty. Unlike previous, there was no arguments over previous behavior or any leads into his activities at night or anything of the sort. Just short, simple, quick acknowledgements that they wanted him to be held before their lord. Glyphz, to his credit, seemed to recognize his impending doom and only offered a little resistance."

"Wouldn't he defend himself more if he was the bad guy?"

"Oh, not always. Some people find it suspicious to be frantic in your defense. Others find it more suspicious when they seem to not resist enough. It really is quite a bind for when people found themselves accused by the crowd. Anyways, at the end of the day, at the ring of the great bell, he was dragged before their lord by the remaining crowd. Mainyu peered at the crowd as they stood gathered, solemnly around Glyphz. Then to Glyphz, then back to the crowd. It was as though Mainyu peered into the collective soul of the group, and something was just a bit off. Regardless, he had committed himself to this path. He would not deviate, not back down, not retreat. And so he accepted the sword offered to him by a kneeling servant, and ended Glyphz with two quick strokes. As they departed, Mainyu offered no words of encouragement no rally cry of survival and conquest. Instead, he allowed a single look to indicate their time was done for now. With his silent approval, the remaining crowd funneled out of the throne room, silently into the night...."

Yea sounds good, really sounds like a town victory we're about to see /sarcasm.

Guys, whoever you are, Ishtar is tricking you. I don't know if you still have the possibility to decide for yourselves but I'd guess you do, otherwise the game wouldn't keep running. Think about it.
