    Human Lord


    Sulke King of Rogaland


    You are the ruler of Rogaland where this session of Gulating is held. You are a War veteran and a former Varangian guard. Trained and schooled in the skills of war makes you a formidable foe in Holmgang.
    You are in a blood feud with the neighbour kingdom of Hordaland. It is this feud that will be tried solved in this session of the Ting.

    Your survival is important for the town. The Jotun is out to get you and your retinue. The Jotun will win if they kill you and the other Lords.

    You don’t have any special abilities other than having a champion that might take your place at a Holmgang. If you are challenged to a Holmgang PM me if you want your champion to take your place. Your champion is: *******

    Holmgang ability: *+* = *
    Now do you trust me?

    I went to Valhalla. I can be trusted.

    pevergreen is my King. He is not Jotun.

    Husar's comment about Sigurd possibly sending out townie PM's to the Jotun - is there any precedent for this in any other game?

    Otherwise, it seems a strange (e.g. suspicious) defence of Ichigo.

    As far as I know there isn't. The only thing that comes close to the above mentioned is when there was a mole in the ranks of the masons and the mafia, who knew what they were but were unknown to their allies in the other camp. I can't quite recall the name of that particular game, although I do remember it was hosted by Sasaki..

    SO, Husar, why would you not be surprised if Sigurd had done that?

    It does look real, but without the Holmgang value, it isn't as useful as a counter-check to pevergreen's claim.

    Obviously, not naming the champion was simply good sense.


    Voting records suggest that Sasaki and Ichigo are not operating as a jotun team. Sasaki voted for Ichigo in round two, during a round when a shift of one vote would have killed Ichigo and when voting was so confused that he could easily have moved away to protect Ichigo by reducing vote count without drawing suspicion.

    This doesn't clear either as an individual, but strongly suggests that they are not operating as 2/3 of a jotun team.



    The Valhalla quotient just snapped into place for me. Notation at death that they arise to Valhalla indicates their status as being some form of warrior and not Jotun (or possibly a thrall who actually beats the odds and wins a holmgang proving he has the heart of a warrior).

    Those who do not arise to Valhalla are either God [no need], Jotun [bad] or thrall [no warrior prowess].



    Other "gods" possibly present:

    Thor [anti-jotun], Odin [king of gods, probably neutral], Balder, Frey, Hodr,
    Vanir = Aegir [mostly anti-jotun, not a friend of Thor], Vidar. A number of other less storied are there as well.

    Famous Jotun:

    Surt, Thiassi, Thokk, Thyrm [special opponent of Thor], Skrymir, Hrungnir [special opponent of Thor], Hugi, Angbroda


    Heimdall v. Loki was only one of the famous rivalries of the Norse gods.

    From this, I hypothesize the existence of at least one more god among us -- possibly with an opposing god or special role jotun (started unknown to other jotun as well).



    My vote, at least for now is Vote: pevergreen

    I mislike the quality of his reveal. Omanes is suspect, but the PM is important and the lack thereof somewhat surprising -- particularly in light of your experience in Capo, pev'.
