The Catilinian Conspiracy [Concluded]

It is written on the Senate walls that God Emperor is dangerous, no?

Yes! It is written on the Senate walls that God Emperor is dangerous!

so why the vote for Johnhughthom?

The vote for Johnhughthom?

This game is getting silly, I'm bored. Wonder where my sisters are...

[johnhughthom]

Tullanium: YLC

[Csargo]

Why?

[Winston Hughes]

Tullanium: Diamondeye

He's acting like a baffled townie who isn't paying close attention to the thread, but I think he's overplayed it. And there's something about the earnestness of his posts that reminds me of other times he's been mafia (Parasite: Earthbound, for example).

Autolycus asked you about God Emperor specifically? I'm curious to know why. Surely you asked him why.

I asked, but he didn't reply.

[TheFlax]

No, I vote Exile because I do not like to lynch before perhaps the next round when we have some posts to work with. But exile is a little tricky in this game, so perhaps a lynch is the best.. it all really comes down to how many players that would be affected by the 'funny thing happen to you in exile'.

But no, I don't think people have any good reasons for a first round vote. If I was certain you were mafia I would not use my vote as an exile vote. I voted one of the two bandwagon late voters, and it happened to be you

Why so defensive about your Exilium vote? Unless you weren't replying to me by explaining why you picked Exilium? Because I don't have a particular issue with that. Though, if you have a preference for Exilium, why didn't you look at people who voted Tullanium on Diamondeye? I'll admit, I'm not really satisfied by your answer, especially the flip flopping about why you picked Exilium.

[ByzantineKnight]

The vote for Johnhughthom?

sorry, I could have sworn that you voted for Johnhughthom not God Emperor

[God Emperor]

I don't exactly understand what it is you want. I am sorry if you were not satisfied, but what exactly do you wish me to further explain? I can repeat my simple reason for voting you, but that seems a tad pointless when you can re read my previous reply.
I wanted to mention my thoughts on the exile/lynch possibilities, and yes perhaps it should have been done in a post for it self.

As for the "why didn't you vote people who voted for a lynch"; I don't see why I would do that? I have an idea that exile seems the best solution but it does not make it correct. I am sure not everyone shares this oppinion, but you think I should force my views upon others by voting them until they were agreeing?
I voted for you because of your late bandwagon and nothing more. You seem very upset about that vote, and I guess that's why you wish me to have a grand theory of who is guilty, at this early stage of the game.

[Double A]

This game is getting silly, I'm bored. Wonder where my sisters are...

Shall we commence with our usual exchange of insults, then?

What is your opinion on what has happened so far?

@Csargo:I just want people to talk without putting too much pressure on them. Would you like it if I went with pressure-lynch votes instead?

Well, the blip called Roman on my scumdar exploded with activity on his first post. Sure, I wasn't probably going to play... but why lynch the inactive rather than ask the host to look for a replacement? Sounds like someone wants one less senator to have to kill.

That's about it I suppose. Flaxy and YLC did vote for me too, but that was more of a "Meh, screw it, there's no one else to kill" vote to me than "Double A? More like Double Die! MUHAHA!" thing.

YLC and I voted to exile you, not to kill you, because we figured (at least in my case) that testing exile on someone who hasn't shown up was worth a shot. Besides, the fact you were absent doesn't make you less likely to be scum.

Actually, I understand the why you're voting for me and no I'm not expecting a grand theory or anything, I just found the whole thing explaining you preference for Exilium rather odd. Perhaps I wasn't clear about that? Most of my questions were either because I was curious or wondered how you were going to react. No I don't think you should vote for people to force your views on them, I just thought it a bit dissonant you are voting for someone who wanted to see what Exilium does instead of people bandwagonning for a Tullanium. I'm not very upset about the vote and I haven't an issue with your reasons for voting me. Again, at first I just want to probe a bit, which I usually do when people vote me and your Exilium preference statement tweaked me.

[Askthepizzaguy]

probably the reason why there's no tally is because of the quirky nature of this voting system.


Exilium: 5

Exilium Flax: GE
Exilium AA: WE
Exilium Sec: (2) Sec, AA
Exilium Bes: Byz

Tullanium: 9

Tullanium JHT: (4) ATPG, Csar, Bes, YLC
Tullanium GE: (2) TF, Rom
Tullanium Bes: Joo
Tullanium YLC: JHT
Tullanium DE: WH

Rather it sounds like someone who does not want to worry about inactive players in the endgame. The "One less senator to kill" is a bad argument, we would have one less, no matter who is lynched, assuming Tullanium is the method voted for.

Your scumdar exploded because I voted for YOU and you can't deal with this logically.

Btw, I find it rather curious that you chose to come back from a Civ V exile to be around the Senate. Perhaps there's a better explanation to this than what you said. Where we you last night?

[Diamondeye]

Meh my long reply died so I'm just going to sum it up:

I'm pretty sure you weren't exiled from what the end day phase write-up says. CB may have to make that clear unless you recieved a PM stating otherwise. Did you?

What do you mean by "recall" you?

Exiled people can be recalled, but you are not one. Day 1 ended in a "no decision", so why should we recall you?

Yeah my mistake, I was low on sleep, high on civ5, and I have a memory with more holes than a sieve. I'm as surprised as you

Winston, my situation in Parasite was wholly different; I was guilty and probably everyone knew already, so I just tried to bargain for information; the worst thing that could happen was the status quo; that I didn't find out new things.

Anyway; I'm not exiled so I can vote. Tullanium: TheFlax
I simply don't see your case on GE.

[johnhughthom]

Tullanium: YLC

Why?

Because in the words of David Byrne he's talking a lot but he's not saying anything. Clearly he's a Pyscho Killer.

The Senate Session is once again called to Order. This time a decision has being made a decision that would change the course of Cicero's life in the future. As the day progresses it becomes clear that the death of Crassus has spurred the Senate into action someone is to die this day it is just a question of whom. The debate rages on with many candidates being put up to the Senate including one brave or some would say suicidal Senator votes for themself. However when the sun begins its downward way towards the horizen one candidate is clearly in front. Various Senators give reason that range from past indiscretions and that he was a young man and thus the type who would follow Catiline. Other Senators defended his indiscretions saying that it was the foley of youth and that he was no traitor. Once the debate petered out Cicero gets up to speak.

Publius Clodius Pulcher you are hearby sentenced by the Senate to death for treasonous acts againest the Republic of Rome you are to be taken to the Tullianum Prison where you are to be strangled untill you are dead. You will be morned by no man of Rome the only person to morn your lose will be your wife, I do mean your sister I am sorry I do not know why I keep making that mistake. You are guilty of far more crimes than that of treason you broke into my own house and defiled the sacred act of Bona Dea. You who dressed as a woman you who took the toga of a man and turned it into the outfit of a whore. You are a disgrace to Rome. My fellow Senators it is not so strange that he thinks us rustic, who are unable to provide ourselves with a tunic with sleeves, and a mitre, and purple bands. But you Pulcher are a most witty man; you are really elegant; you are the only well-bred man, who look well in woman’s clothes, and with the gait of a singing woman; who know how to make your countenance look like that of a woman; to soften down your voice, and to make your body smooth. O extraordinary prodigy! O you monster! are you not ashamed at the sight of this temple, and of this city, nor of your life, nor of the light of day? Do you, who were clad in woman’s attire, dare to assume a manly voice,—you, whose infamous lust and adultery, united with impiety, was not delayed even by the time required to suborn witnesses to procure your acquittal? Did you, when your feet were being bound with bandages, when an Egyptian turban and veil were being fitted on your head, when you were with difficulty trying to get down the sleeved tunic over your arms, when you were being girdled carefully with a sash,—did you never in all that time recollect that you were the grandson of Appius Claudius? Did you not, even if lust had utterly deprived you of all common sense what a unroman sight you were. what shame you brought to your family! Do you Pulcher have anything to say in your defence.

With this Pulcher stands to give the last words of his life. He knows that regardless of what he says there will be only one outcome so before he dies this controversial man has but one more controversy to bring up. He looks over at Caesar and says quite simply

My good friend Caesar your wife was most excellent infact all the wives of all the senate are fine Women indeed. I have done many things in my life but there is one thing that I would never do and that is betray the Republic. I only have the wants of the common man in my heart and that is what I fought for in my life. I am dissapointed in the Senate. I bid you farewell I shall see you all soon for I suspect many of you will be joining me before too long. With this he snaps at the guards to take him away to his death. A stunned silence spreads throughout the hall with all the men of the Senate looking at Caesar he stares straight forward looking at no man then suddenly stands up and strides outside the Hall. With this the second meeting of the Senate is over who will live to see it's third?

JohnHughthom (Publius Clodius Pulcher) is dead

[Diamondeye]

John was a womanizer?
Sorry for the link. I'm trying to fight it.

[God Emperor]

Bah I had hoped it was a tv tropes link

it would seem we need to read the write ups to know if a person was innocent or not.
JHT was apparently innocent

It was well known that he was a political rivial of Cicero if not mafia, he was recuitable.

I also see why Cicero said he was sleeping with Caesar's wife and his own sisters.

Cicero's accusations of sexual profligacy against Clodius, including the attempt to seduce Caesar's wife into adultery and incestuous relations with his sisters.

If you haven't noticed, trivial things like "LOGIC" don't score very high on my preferences chart.

Also, about why I'm suddenly playing: CB "reminded" me in GSTK over on TWC that there was something I should be doing.

Also, I, uhm, haven't bought Civ V yet...

I have learned not to multiquote on this site. I reply with quote in a new tab, and then cut and paste all into one post.

Sad, but it is actually faster.
