Here's my PM, I was the Loki that could insert messages on the Rune stones, tho I doubt if it worked:

The opponents of Thor and Loki later turned out to be forces of nature. Loki competed with fire in the eating contest. Thor tried to drink the ocean in the drinking contest and tried to hold back age in the strong man’s test.

You are a part of the Jotun team which is the MAFIA in this game. Your winning condition is to kill all the Midgard Lords gathered at Gulating. In addition there might be a Norse God amongst them: this God must be dead for you to win the game. You do have the power to kill this God You do have the power to kill this God but you will have to do t
wo attempts.

Your partners are Alexander the Pretty Good and Warluster consult with them in your strategies towards winning this game.
One of you should PM me with your kill description before the deadline every night.
I will post the deadline after every lynching.

As long as you are two or three you will be able to attempt murdering 2 players. Once or if your numbers drop to 1 you will only be able to kill one player.
In your Pm to me you will have to name the Jotun players that will do the killings that night. If you believe you are attempting to kill a God you could write the killing as if it were one kill and name two Jotun doing the killing. You have the option of not submitting a kill or attempting only one kill with one Jotun; all a choice of strategy.

As a magician you can counter the ability of one of the pro-town roles. This pro-town role writes a message on a rune stone. Your ability is to obfuscate this message by inserting 3 words to this message. PM me with the words and where to place them (you do not know the content of this message and you should pick the insertion point based on luck e.g. 1st word: Guilty, insert after word number 4) if there are fewer words in the message than what you indicate it will be inserted at the end.

Holmgang ability: 7(Jotun)+1(King) = 8

Don't feel like quoting the "stig equally matched with CountA" description.

Well maybe that about the God making you go berserk is right, hench why Andres beated Sapi, besides Andres had a 29% change of winning. Arach had a 27% change of winning against me, that's about 50% change on a even fight.

I have to say, I did not see mention of runes anywhere until after the game.

My short summary, Jotun point of view:

Night 1:
We started with 2 simple and random kills, we could target anyone, as we were the only bad guys. So I picked two random names (eena meena mina moo) from the list and we killed them. Next to that I send in the words: "Thank you Sasaki" to be placed at the end (positions 1001, 1002, 1003) of the message on the Runes, in the hope to make Sasaki suspicious.

Day 1:
Well things seemed good for us. The town started discussing about broadswords and all other things, even tho we simply killed 2 random persons.

Night 2:
Night 2 featured two random kills again. I simply got two from the list again and Warluster and Alex agreed. Next to that I send in the words: "Don't trust Ichigo", hoping I could make Ichigo suspicious. By now I knew that it would to hard to simply disrupt messages so I decided that from now on I would simply add things to the front or back.

Day 2:
Day 2 showed us normal discussion, apart from no-one knowing who to go for. But then of the Jotun, only I was active. Lurking does pay off. Next to that there was no lynch, showing me that the town really had no clue who to go for.

Night 3:
This night I wanted to frame Motep. Killing both Orb and BK, who both voted for him. I really could see Motep, as a mafia, doing this, also seeing as he kept posting about Orb going after him and such. Unluckely it failed since Motep was also in the Holmgang, which meant that it would be hard to drop the hint as why would Motep both Holmgang and kill, killing would be enough.
Next to that I inserted the words: "Andres is quilty" to keep the town busy, obviously no townie seemed the read the Runes.

Day 4:
This night featured the reveal of Reenk the invincible God, his job to cause chaos, and then join town or Jotun (well I've never been in contact with him). He wasn't irritating imo, but it would be strange not to vote for him, as almost everyone believed he was quilty, so I decided to go first in voting for him, no Jotun would vote for another Jotun this early imo. Then suddenly Seamus came on and he wanted to Holmgang Reenk, well no problem imo, it only worked for us, as it meaned that we would lose atleast one of them. The town suddenly started voting for Disco, dunno where they got that from.

Night 5:
This night featured all sorts of people not listening and going on and challenging, but then Seamus Vs Reenk would go first anyway. While doing this we decided to make Seamus mortal and to kill Redleg, for being a lord (this were Warlusters ideas, I wasn't convinced Redleg was a lord ... why would he make it public?). Next to that I inserted the following words: "The real Loki", in the hope to frame the one who was really inserting the Rune messages.

Day 5:
Day5 featured some "good" town work again, Sasaki especially was jumping from vote to vote, as clearly no-one had a clue who was the real Jotun, but abstaining would make you look like one, as we were too far ingame. Then Ichigo, somehow decided to commit suicide, strange, why use a vote for that, do that afterwards.

Night 6:
Night 6 featured a mistake by us, for attacking Seamus again, he couldn't do anything, he had nothing more but the powers of a weak townie now. Next to that I thought it was time to get rid of Sasaki, I wanted to do that on night 6, but we decided it would be better to attack Redleg that night.
Next to that I added the words: "Fenring the Jotun", as he was inactive I thought it would be a good change to frame him on the long term ... as no-one read the runes anyway.

Day 6:
Day 6 featured me using the fake Champion PM for the first time (well next to sending it to Seamus) by sending it to Sasaki, to put me and Alex in the innocent box, as we were champion and king. Next to that Warluster did get killed, but then not a very big loss, as the town believed he was innocent afterall and we still had 2 kills a night.

Night 7:
This was the night in which we accidently challenged Count Arach, but then all turned out well after, helping me even more to prove the point I was a innocent Champion. Next to that we decided we should kill CR and Husar, both were to completely random kills, as we knew nothing about them. I forgot to enter something on the runes actually.

Day 7:
Day 7 was the day that Sasaki was on the completely wrong trail, as he believed my innocence, so he thought he should seek out the townies. The clearly innocent Motep was killed, everyone could see he was innocent imo, he hadn't been on for a week.

Night 8:
This night we decided to kill Prole and Pever, Pever for become to strong in Holmgang (by now he could come near my 9) and Prole since we didn't know her role. The kill on Prole obviously failed as she proved to be a Goddess, but Pever was taking out. Next to that I inserted the words: "Read the Runes" as I was fed up with people not reading runes. Plus I was convinced that by now we killed the fella who made the rune posts in the first place.

Day 8:
Andres was lynched, as he won against Sapi (29% change, that's big enough to stand a change) and since he didn't go to Valhalla after everyone was convinced they killed a Jotun, well ofcourse not he killed a king.

Night 9:
Me and Alex killed Omanes and Kukri, Omanes for being a lord and Kukri because I thought he had the doctor role (I thought we only had 1 god, so that would make Husar and Prole innocent townies (as they would be protected), but they turned out to be gods). Next to that Caius and GH holmganged, couldn't be better. Then I entered the words: "Well done town" as they did well, well well for me.

Day 9:
Easy lynch on Caius, as he won against GH with ease, but then that change was there. it was 50-50, with a bit of luck one of them went into berserk mode, could have easely been GH, after which we would lynch him. Problem was that Fenring was lynched as well, I didn't like that since I was going to give him the Jotun role, so things become difficult for a minute.

Night 10:
Alex at first wanted to kill 1 person only. But when we killed 2 we would win, as it would be 2 vs 2 left, both Alex and me could vote for the same, making a tie, since here that would mean no lynch we could then kill the following two.

All in all good game guys
