    Maybe she does want to be exiled, but that's a strange way to convince us, specially after the warning we received on the Senate walls.

    "Exile not the man who would be king, lest he return in triumph."
    I think it means that the dangerous people to exile would be those in charge of the army, since the army was allowed within the city walls. Being exiled, they could come back in control the army, this means mostly Julius Caesar or Pompey (dead/Winstion).

    Anyway, with 2 kills per night, I don't see how we can afford to exile anyone.

    If so, my joke was actually a mechanic of the game.

    I didn't really understand why people were voting Diamondeye and didn't have any solid suspicions, so voted as explained below; doesn't seem to have been counted though, unfortunately.

    Because I happen to think that there is no finer person than myself to test the exile mechanic on; as a Consul of the Imperium, I am immune to exile and I want to see what happens... I've never had an ability that grants me an immunity to a lynch mechanic, much less having such an ability as a townsperson, and it strikes me as an odd choice on the host's part.

    @Secura is that part of your victory condition or something? Are you Caesar?
    My victory condition is to remove all threats to the Republic. And no, I am not Julius Caesar; I keep seeing his name mentioned though, what's the fascination? :S

    I'm just struggling to see what use my ability has when I'm town-aligned and execution seems like the preferred means of lynching anyway.

    Tullianium: Double A

    The N1 attack on Cicero does not make sense, he was invulnerable. Only someone not following the game could have done this, and Double A fits the profile.
    Ok, even if I wasn't following the game, I would at least have know who the two invulnerable are. And if I ever forget, I can just go to the bottom of page 1.

    By the way, I'm here because I'm waiting for my PC to update or something. I got home around 5pm from an awesome BBQ, literally stuffed, and installed Civ V. Aside from a few drink and/or food breaks, I played it straight until 5am when my mom told me to go to bed.

    @God Emperor : Since you admitted having the ability to write on the Senate Walls, can you tell us if one of the previous messages was your doing?

    Well I did tell that, but I can tell it again. No I did not put anything on the wall.. I decided I couldn't find a good use for the wall posting at this early stage of the game.

    Tonight is the death of the Republic, Tonight is the night that all good romans fear for on this day the Republic will never have being in greater jeopardy. The two killer’s, cowards that they are, begin moving once more to strike against the Republic and this night they have chosen very well indeed. The first killer moves into the house of the brother of Cicero Quintus Cicero. This will indeed be a strong blow against Cicero for not only is his brother have the little military experience in the family but Quintus has remained a trusted advisor to his brother helping out in Cicero’s campaign to win the Consulship. The figure moves into the house of Quintus he slowly but surely moves towards the sleeping figure. He is going to enjoy this one very much. For too long Cicero has laughed off the deaths that have come forth thus far. No one would moan the loss of Pulcher or of Pompey and Crassus but the death of Quintus will shake the very core of Cicero. The killer moves forward pulls out a rope and strangles Quintus.
    Beskar (Quintus Tullius Cicero) is dead

    The second figure to die this day will be another that will put fear into the Heart of Cicero. The second killer moves over to the house of Atticus the best friend of Cicero. Whilst Atticus is not a senator he is a wise man, wise enough to avoid the pit that is politics. However despite his keeping his head down this will not save him from the butcher’s knife. The figure stalks Atticus out of his home he appears to be talking with several other figure about the difference between Stoicism and Aristolian views on the world. The killer jumps out and stabs Atticus in the side. As Atticus falls down onto the ground the blood slowly falling onto the ground Cicero sits bolt upright in his bed he knows something is wrong, very wrong indeed.
    Romanic (Atticus) is dead


    The next morning
    Cicero gets up and says a few words.
    I have no words left within me. Words cannot express the feelings that are coursing through me. Fellow senators go and vote for it is the only way my brother and my dearest friend can be avenged.

    @the game: Well this is toppling over fast. I would suggest looking into lurkers. So far, we've no reason to believe we've been even close to threatening Cataline. I suggest massive pressure on people who've kept a low profile (all those who are talking are being murdered) - to root out the men around Sasaki/Cataline. I think we have no more space for mislynches anymore. Here is a (much needed) unofficial account of dead/alive:

    Alive:
    Double A
    Joooray
    Csargo
    Sasaki
    ByzantineKnight
    TheFlax
    GodEmperor
    White Eyes
    YLC
    Secura


    Dead:
    Autolycus
    JohnHughthom
    Winston Hughes
    AskThePizzaGuy
    Diamondeye
    Beskar
    Romanic

    Take a close look at Flax, YLC, WE:D and maybe even Secura.

    Great.

    I signed up to this game believing that it was simply a piece of fiction when it actually seems to be based on a period of history that I'm largely unfamiliar with; my speciality ranges from 1400-2000. That will teach me for skim-reading Blackadder's posts. -_-'

    I'm Gaius Antonius Hybrida; I'd explain the character further but it seems that my role PM is just the third paragraph of the Wikipedia article, albeit paraphrased. As I stated earlier, I'm a Consul and immune to prosecution and exile, and it's in my best interests to follow Cicero; he's promised me land.

    Well, I don't know what you try to achieve, Secura. If you tell the truth, it wouldn't make much sense to vote for you, just to try out your ability as we would loose a precious lynch that way. However, it could also be a clever ploy for keeping us from lynching you. (See no further than Renata in Zelda-Mafia)

    I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now and Tullianium: White_Eyes to start putting some pressure on people DE suggested.

    We should hit a mafia today though, town is already spreading pretty thin.

    That would also be the case if you voted to execute me though, so it's very much catch-22.

    YLC and WE simply didn't show up last round, IIRC.

    Joooray, you seem to be taking the easy way out. What happens if WE doesn't show up? You just go for the lynch, hoping blindly to hit mafia. For all we know DE could be scum, though I doubt, I am leery of fact you simply jumped at his suggestion with nary a thought. Anything other than low activity makes WE scummy?

    Also, it seems the only other person you find scummy besides the low activity posters is Secura? Because she self-voted a couple of times? I'll grant you that testing her power by wasting a lynch is not the best of plans, but how is that scummy and how is it keeping us from lynching her? I'm pretty sure its a null tell at worst, in all probability she isn't scum though.

    Tullianium: Joooray

    What do people think of a name claim? Helpful, unhelpful?
