    Seconded, though I wonder what you think about CH vs tratorix yourself. It doesn't seem CH will be around to explain himself any further before the deadline, tratorix has apparently said all he is going to, and your vote doesn't do anything either way.

    I have a good feeling about classical_hero. I'd wager my head we should not lynch him.

    No opinion on Tratorix. I don't find him scummy but I'm not going to lift a finger to save him. Though it is nice to see him again. Hi Tratorix!

    I think we could do well with pressuring other people.

    Well my point was that unless I've lost track of the deadline AGAIN (which is quite possible these days), there's only about a half hour to go, and you voting b-ray in that situation is kind of pointless as far as pressure goes. (Nor does it accomplish anything in terms of keeping CH's head out of the noose.)

    unvote: GH, vote: tratorix

    classical hero seems more like a flailing protown role than a flailing mafioso. Didn't he use a warhammer in his Holmgang? I'm betting he is Thor.

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    How close is the deadline?

    Are you just lynching Tratorix to save C_H? It's not a good reason in my opinion. If there's time I think we should maybe come up with something better.

    I need to be somewhere around the deadline and might be a few hours late.
    Consider any votes past the deadline for invalid.
    You have aprox. 1 1/2 hours left. It is now 20:26 GMT

    That's plenty of time if we have a few active people. The tally isn't outrageous.

    I am leaning B_Ray or Khaan. Khaan's always a bit of a slithery slippery scummy character, and I've been lusting for his blood for a good long time now, resisting my ever-present urges. I'd be happy with either one.

    Khaan for the C_H wagon and his silly "spook" reasoning, B_Ray for the Tratorix wagon/bad reasoning.

    Also, I'll be gone just before 5 as I have guy-with-an-axe related job duties to attend to for the next 9 hours. But I'll be here if you need a swing vote.

    Hi PizzaGuy!

    There's nothing else I can really say at this point. The only one close to me in votes is classical hero and he's claimed a powertown role, which I cannot. Here's my role pm, just for posterity.

    Holmgang ability : 3 (WarVeteran) = 3

    Good Luck!!!
    I really don't like the fact that Renata's jumped on two bandwagons in two rounds. I also think classical hero might as well just reveal at this point, as it doesn't really hurt him since he's practically already done so. He can keep Holmgang score and abilitys secret if he wants, but I'd like to see the rest of his role pm.

    I'm pretty sure that CH is Thor. I'm also hoping to put some distance between the first and second place person as ties apparently result in no lynch.

    Why don't we all just advertise that C_H is probably Thor. Gosh, if it wasn't clear from the writeup, he's all but admitted he's a god in-thread.



    Where is the subtlety anymore. Remember back in the day we could just be like "Nah, don't think we should lynch him" and people would give you the benefit of the doubt for like a round or two? Instead we have to have big glowing neon signs that say HEY MURDER THIS PERSON.

    Hey, if there is already a big neon sign we may as well add some fireworks as well. Maybe we can get the oldspice guy as well.

    Renata 1 (Reenk, )
    classical_hero 5 (autolycus,Tratorix, Diamondeye,Khaan, B_Ray
    Khazaar 1 (GH)
    GH 1 (Khazaar)
    Mr. Stuka 1 (TC)
    B_Ray 1 (ATPG)
    Tratorix 7 (Believer, Chaotix, Kagemusha, Renata, Warman, DIY, Woad)
    Tincow 1 (classical_hero)
    Based on Kage's previous tally.

    I thought the tally was closer.

    Between Renata, myself, Tratorix, anyone listening, and possibly Kage if I can wake him up, we could probably pile a bunch of votes on someone.

    I'm not sure it is worth the risk to C_H. Are you ready to take one for the team, Tratorix?

    We could lynch Mr. Stuka. He seemed a bit scummy to me last round and hasn't shown up this time. I'll Unvote: Classical Hero for now and if anyone wants to help me save my skin, I'll go along with it. If not, well, it's not the first time I've been bandwagoned and it probably won't be the last.

    I want to vote for Khaan for this:

    It's a bad enough vote in itself, but that's compounded by its timing, which came *after* Tratorix and Autolycus had already done the same thing (I think after DE, too, though I'm not sure). If Tratorix is townie as I think he is, and if Autolycus is merely his usual Renata-scumdar-bait and not actually scum (which given he has ALSO now voted for Heimdall could well be the case -- Jotuns shouldn't be quite that suicidal), then Khaan had plenty of townie cover for his action. On top of that he doesn't just blame it on CH's high Holmgang score as the other two did, he actually tries to give a reason, only it's not really a reason.

    And he's only posted twice all game, the other being a throwaway vote on day one.

    Couple of votes on him would be loverly.

    vote: Khaan

    Not bothering with the huuuge wall of texts between ATPG and GH, it's simply confusing me too much. Instead, I'll help Renata out with a Vote:Khaan.

    And yeah, it looked like CH was a God... Bifrost is the rainbow bridge from Asgard. Whoever mentioned the Jotun's comment about eyesight might right that he was Odin, but Heimdall is the "Watching God"... If W&F hadn't claimed the role, I would think that was what the Jotun referred to. And I didn't even see the Holmgang, was it edited into a former post?

    Eh, why the bandwagon on me? I'm sorry I was gone, and that i didn't vote this round, but I was gone, doing you know- real-life stuff? I'm sorry, but I'm definitely not trying to fade into the background. No but seriously, why the bandwagon?

    Day 2



    The voting this day was long and there were many candidates shifting taking the lead.
    It took the retinues every minute of the allotted time to finally agree on a candidate.
    The Hovgod was slumbering when the tally was given him. He took a quick glance at it:

    Tally:

    Mr. Stuka : 6 (ATPG, Believer, Renata, TinCow, Tratorix, w&f)

    Tratorix : 5
    (Chaotix, DiY, ELITE, Kage, Nightbringer)
    classical_hero : 4 (autolycus, B_Ray, Diamondeye, ‘khaan)
    B_Ray : 1 (Romanic )
    GeneralHankerchief : 1 (Khazaar)
    Khazaar : 1 (GH)
    Renata : 1 (Reenk)
    TinCow : 1 (classical)

    Not voting : 7 (Andres, glyphz, Mr. Stuka, Robbie, Thefluff, TheLastDays, WE:D)

    So you barely managed to get a candidate in lead this time as well. And I see there are several not lodging a vote. This is barely acceptable considering we are dealing with someone’s life here.
    He looked over the retinues. Could the man named Thorvald Toresson be brought forth?
    The men from Nordmøre gasped as they heard the name being called out.
    A well toned warrior stepped out of the Nordmøre retinue and walked with sure steps toward the Hovgod who stood smirking in the circle of men.
    They have chosen you as the payment to justice for the murder last night. Blood for blood. Do you have anything you wish to say?
    The warrior looked with ice cold eyes over the eager crowds. I am worried about my King. Who will protect him now?
    I am sure some arrangements can be made. The Hovgod looked into the ice cold eyes, searching. I see a man who will serve Odinn and as such, I wish you adieu. The Hovgod brought his knife which he had hidden in his sleeve in a fluid but powerful stab, which pierced the warrior’s heart. Blood started flowing out of the wound and Thorvald buckled.
    Soon life disappeared from those icy eyes.

    The Hovgod twirled and stated: Well, should we continue where we left off yesterday?

    Challenges can be given from this point. If you have already challenged after the deadline, I will count those as valid.
    PMs from those who can – deadline 22:00 GMT Saturday the 16th of July

    Oh, if you guys actually lynched Tratorix I would kill all of you. I voted for him, but I didn't want him to die!

    Why is it that I can only start bandwagons when I don't want to?

    Also, according to Tratorix's role PM, we are an even match. I am guessing that even though Veterans have "higher than average" Holmgang scores, we are still pretty much the lowest or second-lowest level of townie.

    Challenge: Tratorix

    Let's see what you've got. If you're really a Vet, it'll show.

    10pm GMT is 6am my time, since I am GMT+8, so that makes the time has ended an hour early. I am going to assume you are Norwegian meaning you are normally only 1 hour in front of GMT, but now you would be 2 hours in front due to DST.

    I put my computer on GMT (Greenwich mean time) when I started the game. It is by that clock this game is run. It seems that my computer adjusts DLS for GMT as well, not being completely UTC. So in reality it is BST that is the official clock running this game.
    I shall adjust the deadlines accordingly, with 1 European time, 1 American time and 1 Asian time. Whichever you prefer.

    Well if you want to be on GMT then just say one hour earlier and it will be clear, since that is the time you want to end the turn. So just say that it will end at 21:00 GMT, which it has the past few days. It is easier that way then everyone should then be able to calibrate from there.
