The Castle [Concluded]

[Ayachuco]

Wait a minute here, something isn't right.
Kommodus, your fight with Amazing took place in the courtyard???
I didn't mention my stroll with Amazing b/c nothing significant happened. I was going to the courtyard using the main central corridor to investigate a tree. Amazing happened to be walking down the central corridor before he turned down the corridor that leads to the Pit or the Asassin Chute. I thought he was going to meet with FactionHeir and a couple of guards who were patrolling down that corridor. I continued into the courtyard and found nothing at the tree. The Tree caught my eye in Night 1 whenever I was passing by it and thought I saw bodies in it. Unless somebody had already cleaned up their mess in Night 2 when I was watching over Beefy, I must have been hallucinating. I was supposed to exchange my shield with Craterus in the Medical Wing but Killfrenzy decided it was better to have it occur in the Guest Quarters and hence I heard the attack on Garcilaso.

Now I have suspicions about the Amazing Me. If he was fighting you Kommodus, that would mean he went down the Asassin/Pit corridor for an insidious errand and then backtracked and met you in the Courtyard. Now what if he was going down that corridor to send a gold offering for the Master Assasin. That would mean during the next night phase, someone will probably killed. The only question is who does he plan to kill.

Vote:The Amazing Me

[Kommodus]

Yep, I'd definitely say TAM has some 'splaining to do.

Draconian, your post explains why TAM was emerging from the western-most corridor into the courtyard when I saw him, and why he was carrying a small pouch.

Also, it's apparent that TAM has money for good equipment (bastardsword, breastplate, shield), as well as enough to hire the master assassin. Where did you get it all, TAM? Do you have friends who aided you financially? And I repeat the question Draconian asked: who did you hire the master assassin to kill?

Let's have some answers, post-haste.

Vote: The Amazing Me

[woad&fangs]

My death seemed like it might have been done by the master assasin(black cloaked figure snuck up behind me and slit my throat.)

[shlin28]

Ah... my turn to to play Craterlin 28

Sorry people who died, was too busy getting my tiny shield

Anyhoo, vote: the Amazing Me, infighting is bad, far better to defend people in medical wing

Edit: Sorry for your death, Garci, I should have been there sooner... anyway, your money will be put to good use, aka a new shield + a new breastplate

[FactionHeir]

I'm more concerned that none of the guards patrolling the medical wing entrance nor courtyard heard anyone getting into the medical wing. This means someone from the inside must have done it and vanished via some unknown route.

[Tratorix]

Stupid shadowy figure . I was hoping to actually recover from my injuries and do something constructive. Now not only am i dead, but we've lost both our priests. I'm going to keep my ghost detectivery to a minimum, seeing as this game is kind of part rpg, part mafia. Good luck townies.

[Craterus]

Hmm, sorry guys. But whatever killed you sounded pretty strong.
Shlin's voted for TAM, but I think Kommodus is also a little dangerous, if not suspicious. Playing the vigilante sounds like it could do more harm than good.

[FactionHeir]

I suggest we put TAM up for an inquisition trial during this day phase to find out what he did last night exactly. He'll burn if he's found guilty.

[Kommodus]

Shlin's voted for TAM, but I think Kommodus is also a little dangerous, if not suspicious. Playing the vigilante sounds like it could do more harm than good.

Don't worry Craterus, apparently I suck at playing the vigilante after all! TAM beat me down and I'd be dead right now if not for the intervention of FactionHeir and his guards.

[Myrddraal]

Just thought I'd pop in to say this sounds like an awesome game! Reading avidly... Congrats to TB and KillFr3nzy for the idea.

EDIT: If someone would be willing to share their PMs with me, I'd be very grateful, please PM me. Of course I promise not to share the info, and I wouldn't take PMs from more than one player. I just want to follow the game in a bit more detail

[Craterus]

Don't worry Craterus, apparently I suck at playing the vigilante after all! TAM beat me down and I'd be dead right now if not for the intervention of FactionHeir and his guards.

Guess I could let you off then.

Just thought I'd pop in to say this sounds like an awesome game! Reading avidly... Congrats to TB and KillFr3nzy for the idea.

I'd like to second (third? whatever it is now) that idea. Well done killfr3nzy and TB. Great game, I'm enjoying it.

[Tratorix]

Hmm, sorry guys. But whatever killed you sounded pretty strong.

Well, i wouldn't say that. Beefy and Waldinger were both priests and I was still recovering from my wounds, so they wouldn't have had to be that strong. I would say they must be good at stealth though, since their were apparently guards stationed at the door.

[Craterus]

Two guards at the door? Were they killed? If not, surely it would have to be a shapeshifter or something? Or someone who was already in the medical wing?

[FactionHeir]

OK after some analysis, the culprit must either have been very good at stealth and moved from CY to GQ to MW or he must have started at SQ/MW/GQ. There were no guards inside those rooms, so anyone who was inside those during the night is a suspect. Anyone outside probably is innocent unless they are good at stealth.

[Craterus]

Oh, we can move between rooms? I was never sure about that.

EDIT: And that clearly shows on the map I've been thinking each room only had one entrance - from the corridor. How odd.

[Tratorix]

I'm more concerned that none of the guards patrolling the medical wing entrance nor courtyard heard anyone getting into the medical wing. This means someone from the inside must have done it and vanished via some unknown route.

I don't think they were at the door, but according to this post by Factionheir, there were guards patrolling nearby, and they didn't see nothin'.

List of suspects for you guys.

Innocent
Omanes
Zain
Factionheir

Most Likely Innocent
Draconian

[FactionHeir]

Are we already down to this little people?

Time to cull the crowd.

[Craterus]

Andres is playing in this game? I've barely noticed him post. Is that just me?

EDIT: 18 posts, clearly it's just me.

[FactionHeir]

Oh, I found more info:

After whacking Kommo, TAM ran towards the eastmost entrance to the guest quarters. He might well have infiltrated the MW from there. The other question is why he didn't notice anything in the MW, being in the GQ. Or is he hiding it?

Once thing that's concerning though is that he "didn't seem...evil"

[woad&fangs]

I think it is safe to remove Tran from the suspect list. Me and him were hiding in the tree on night one and he didn't attack me. On night two, I was praying and he was in the tree.

[FactionHeir]

Is he a tree hugger?

[Tratorix]

One more post, then i'm gone .
FOS: Kyros

I've noticed he's only posted like once since the game started. He might be trying the famed "lurking mafioso" strategy. I think some pressure should be applied to him. But, then again, if i'm just a dead guy.

[FactionHeir]

I'd suggest you vote out Andres this turn. Out of the remaining, he and Cimmerian seem the most scummy to me.

[Ayachuco]

I think it is safe to remove Tran from the suspect list. Me and him were hiding in the tree on night one and he didn't attack me. On night two, I was praying and he was in the tree.

That was y'all up in the tree near the central entrance??? I knew I wasn't hallucinating, there were bodies in that tree; live ones.

I'm also starting to suspect that some of the mafioso are the lurkers. Although I don't know why Andres would try this tactic and it would explain why the lurkers haven't been WoG'ed yet. They may not discuss in the thread, but they have been issuing night orders. Thus they knew that the priests would be in the MW and issued attack orders. And what about Cimmerian, why would they take him? Or is it a diversionary tactic used to confuse us, townies? But, how many are mafia demons, alas Killfrenzy has made this game very, very interesting by not telling us how many of them exist. So many questions, so many little answers...

I have a question for either Killfrenzy or TwilightBlade.
Whenever the Master Asassin is given a target; will he attack other people if they are near or potential witness of the crime. For example, if someone gave the order to finish off BSR, would the Master Asassin also attack Waldinger and Beefy b/c they were there also or do they have to be separate orders?
If they have to be separate orders, then the person must have a lot of gold.

Which leads to my next question.
Omanes, whenever Shlin was lynched who did you give the gold he had? I'm trying to pinpoint who is behind these murders so I guess I will have to follow the money trail.

[FactionHeir]

Gold all stayed in the "family".

So any gold spent by others will have been from scouring the place or killing other players at night.

Not sure about the assassin thing, but I think he won't care as he wasn't paid for that.

I have a suspicion that the worshippers can turn others into worshippers for some reason.

[Cimmerian]

Two guards at the door? Were they killed? If not, surely it would have to be a shapeshifter or something? Or someone who was already in the medical wing?

The only problem with this is that the three ppl who were originally in the MW were:
Beefy - healing bsr
BSR - being healed
and myself - uncounscious on a bed to be healed after bsr.

Firstly, Beefy and BSR are obviously innocent. Whereas, it doesn't make sense that I would happen to kill the only two other medics while being injured without being healed, even I think thats a bit stupid.

It doesn't sound very likely that anything us would get into a fight withourselves, and due to each of our vulnerable condition, its quite possible any weak player could have done this. Nonetheless, you would think they should have some strength considering they managed to drag my body away soemwhere. (what do you want with me, special favours?!)

[Ayachuco]

Is that what happened to Cimmerian??? I feel bad for him, to be subjugated to that, that monstrosity. I really hope that isn't the case.
So would that means I could also become one of them? That anyone could become one of them? This is not good, not good at all. So much for trust, if they can destroy a person to the core.
FactionHeir, do y'all and the Lord, Omanes need any gold??? I have my share of Garci's gold and have no use for it so y'all can have it if you need it.

[The Amazing Me]

Ok, I appreciate I’m under suspicion, looking back at the evidence, probably quite rightfully.
Allow me to explain myself.
First of all, I’ll admit, I’m not actually a townie, I’m a neutral warrior. My objective is simply to stay alive, I’ve been generally helping the townspeople however (though kinda timidly).
Anyway, that brings me to my next bit, last night, I did actually guarded the guest quarters like Beefy said, unfortunately, I wasn’t sure that was what I was meant to be doing, as people really weren’t that clear about it. At any rate, it seemed fairly obvious that very few other people were following Beefies plan. I chose the bottom right entrance to guard because it’s the most obscure and I didn’t want to get into a fight.
During the night, I talk a short break from guarding to pay a visit to the pit, keep in mind that every one who has died ends up there along with their equipment. It’s not the first time I have visited it, and that’s were I get my stuff from, there are about a dozen people down there and no one else has taken anything, so I can pick and choose the best stuff. Anyway, I actually used Ephrums robes to make a sack, which I filled with as many knives it could hold. That was the sack Komm saw me with. If people want proof, I now have 6 long knives and a set of throwing knives which I sure didn’t buy. I don’t know how I go about showing you guys, but I suppose Frenzy will tell you it’s true.
After visiting the pit, I returned to my post, stopping briefly to beat down Komm.

Which brings me to another point; we all know the mafia are capable of dishing it out pretty badly. So that makes me wonder Komm would try and attack them on his own when he’s obviously not invincible in a fight, seems like it would just get him killed. On the other hand, if he’s a mafia, and he is tough enough for it to be plausible, then attacking townies makes a bit more sense, because he could expect them to be weaker. Unfortunately for him, I was better then your average townie.

I’d be glad to spend tonight confined to my room, provided someone actually checks I’m there, but please actually make it clear if that’s what you want me to do, that was the problem last night; I didn’t quite know what to do.

Edit: Oh Draconian, I don't think Omanes needs any more gold, I think that's were the gold form dead people ends up, because it's sure as hell not on their corpses in the pit.

[Caius]

Was I killed?

[Tiberius of the Drake]

see if I hadnt been lynched I could have helped prevent the slaughter in the mediacl waing from ever occuring.
