With Great Sacrifice [Concluded]

**edse** · 03-11-2012, 11:35

Al right guys, think about it. We are not here to lynch Gods, we are here to find the purest sacrifice. That's not Montmorency.

The only threat to the town atm is the last killer and the fact that he didn't nightkill Monty last night makes me draw the conclusion that there is a mechanism that requires Monty to get lynched for the killer to win. BSmith or LazyMcCrow is the last killer and with him gone we have all the time in the world to find the sacrifice.

Interesting conclusion you have there. You're saying that a killer would win NOT by doing his job, but by town doing theirs? While lynching Montmorency does make me slightly nervous - given that a killer IS still at large and is clearly an active player (as opposed to the handful of inactives who I am assuming will get WoKed imminently) - you are right: lynching Monty is bad for town in that it gives the Killer another opportunity to get closer to victory. I'd almost be prepared to follow your lead on this one if it weren't for the fact that a) You propose to lynch me rather than Montmorency and b) I don't agree with your conclusion above. I imagine that you have it the wrong way round: I think Montmorency will achieve some kind of victory for outlasting all the other power roles when the killer is lynched. I imagine a killer without a God, will likely have to survive SK-style to the end of the game. That makes most sense to me when I 'think about it' as you instruct.

So - I think that Monty's lynch is probably for the best - as well as being a foregone conclusion anyway. It's possible that the remaining killer - if that is indeed the set-up, is one of the players who sits on the line between lurking and participation. The more you expound your theories the less likely I think it is that you are the killer, but I still wouldn't bet against it: Guilty til proven innocent and all that :) I guess we'll just have to get the popcorn out and watch what happens when a God is lynched. If that brings about the end of the game, so be it, but I don't think it will.

Wouldn't a god be the purest sacrifice? And probably the god's champion as well? I don't really agree with this idea that somehow we just let a self-professed mafia live. I'd love to go lynch the last killer, but we're not sure about who that is. I've always found that in mafia games you must lynch known mafia even if you think we can always get around to lynching them later. We have to lynch Monty at some point. Best now instead of possibly lynching another villager.

Oh and lynching a god, I'm excited for the write up!

The purest sacrifice can't really be one of three Gods or one of the three champions.

I forgot the No Vote category.

No Vote:Fluffy, landlubber, Zack

The names in red are in danger of being WOK:ed, landlubber should have been yesterday.

Why are you trying to save someone who admits they are up to no good?

He's not up to no good, the killer is.

Our examination for the following day proved short and succinct. It seemed it was on everyone's minds to find out what exactly Montmorency meant by claiming divinity. Surely a divine power was purer than anything a mere mortal could hope for? If not... well, a distraction taken care of, at least. When the Emperor demanded my record of everyone's decision, it was clear who would be handed over. Montmorency raised an eyebrow at the Emperor as he walked up to the altar. "Are you sure you wish to do this? You know who sustains your power. It is not these mortals," he said, gesturing to the crowd. "You know what I offer is far more substantial. Abandon this now." Montmorency narrowed his eyes as he stood in front of the blood-stained slab.

"You are a blasphemer! I am the Emperor! The gods have given me the power of divine judgment! I am divine will incarnate, you are nothing! Now down onto the altar, or we'll force you down." Montmorency grinned. "Now!" the Emperor ordered. Montmorency just chuckled.

"I would like to see your guards try. Do you truly think they can subdue the god of slaughter?" As if to answer, TheFluffyOne, Landlubber, and Zaccino moved behind him, each placing a hand on one of his arms. He looked around, suddenly angry. His eyes blazed a golden hue. "You dare touch divinity?! For you, the deal is off." A bright light flashed through the room. The Emperor staggered back, blinded for just a moment. When he could see again, Montmorency had vanished. The three soldiers each were scalded all across their fronts. Scorched sinews stared back at their ruler as they collapsed in a heap. "We are not finished," a booming voice rang out. "This is not the end. Your suffering is not yet over. Prepare for oblivion. For the few brave enough, I look forward to seeing you again."

I stood next to the Emperor in pure shock. He was standing like a statue. The rest of the remaining group looked to him questioningly. "My lord..." I whispered. "What now? What do we do?" He shook his head slightly.

"Go."
