The Settlement [Concluded]

[Reenk Roink]

As the sun retired to her resting place the man named Shlin went to his tent which did not contain much more than a severely overused combat dummy. Shlin was a soldier as his father and his father's father had been, and he did not spend long days on the field or in the office. Rather, he continued to practice his swordplay and keep his martial skills sharp for the day that battle would call again.

The sonorous sound of his sword striking the combat dummy was disturbed by the sudden entrance of a short red robed man, who grimly looked at Shlin. Shlin immediately turned his attention to the intruder and charged him. He was no more than two paces away when the sorcerer of Vode directed a burst of lightning at Shlin, hurling him back. Recovering from the shock, Shlin got up and exclaimed: "Foul magician, it will take more than that cantrip to fell this warrior!"

The robed sorcerer thus hurled another burst of lightning at Shlin, this one clearly causing damage to the hardy warrior. Yet although Shlin was unable to pick himself up after the second attack, he still defiantly exclaimed: "You are weak behind the evil magics given to you by your god. You cannot slay me with the sword!"

This statement of Shlin caused the grim faced sorcerer to raise an eyebrow. He then reached out with his hand and somehow took Shlin's sword out of his hand, causing it to float right above the wounded soldier. The red robed sorcerer then forcefully jerked his hand downwards and the sword mimicked the motion, running through Shlin.

Meanwhile, the man named Hankerchief sat in his house drinking wine and thinking of his glorious past. He reminisced about the days when he was a simple farmer boy who answered the call when the people called for a hero at their darkest hour during the Great Civil War. He rose up from his humble beginnings to reach the position of priest king from which he then began to conquer the largest empire our people have ever seen, effectively ending the Civil War and ushering an age of great peace and prosperity.

He then stepped down from his place as the most powerful man in the land to devote himself to knowledge. Later he would write about his heroic deeds. Even later these writings would be stripped from the history books as it was realized that Hankerchief simply had a vivid imagination and had made everything he documented up. Yet in his mind, Hankerchief was still a glorious general.

So the self styled general spent his night sitting on his fine chair, not realizing that a man had entered his house and drew a blade from behind him. So the life of the self styled general ended as his throat was slit and even more, the story of him would be lost forever as the killer proceeded to grind up the pages of the last remaining copy of Hankerchief's history into a fine powder and snort it.

As the sun rose from her slumber, all the settlers once again were called to the gathering hall by the priest king who informed them of the murders. So the discussions began, with Yoyoma once again joining in late in a limited capacity as his mind was clouded by drink.

[White_eyes:D]

Well....I knew shlin would die....he had a high duel score...or at least pretended too...
GH...I have no idea... "the drug-scribe killer" that's the name of whoever is killing Good men now.....

[Askthepizzaguy]

There had better not be a purple names getting voted this round. Anyone who tries it gets my instant Bony Skeleton Finger of Suspicion.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Worth it.

-edit- By the way, vote for FactionHeir.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Seamus has been all to quiet for my taste...sigurd as well.

Also, I find the weird accent stuff impossible, so can anyone tell me if boudica has actually commented on the game?

[White_eyes:D]

Worth it.

???? did you catch your killer? like pevergreen? or just worth it, to die in the write-up like that?

[GeneralHankerchief]

Just to die like that.

And yeah, Seamus is worth a look.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Worth it.

-edit- By the way, vote for FactionHeir.

Either make a case or don't.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Hmm you know, I don't know where I got the idea that the knife killer was one of the usurpers. It doesn't mention vode in his kill descriptions and he seems to target just the good men.

[Jolt]

GH were you another Scribe? Man, someone has an obcession for destroying books.

Once again, Tristan, Ichigo and taka remain ever silent.

I'll use my Good Men voting muscle to Vote: Ichigo. I still don't see any major suspects and there are quite a few lurkers skipping rounds and rounds without saying a word.

Is there Wrath Of Reenk?

Ok this isn't a "my number is bigger than yours contest" but if we are going to start lynching lurkers to get them talking, this is for reference.

Either townies should start talking, or be prepared to die.

Edit: Deads and host crossed off.

[LittleGrizzly]

Im pretty sure he said theres no penalties for being inactive...

Well at least were down to 2 kills

GH and Gaius were scribes ?

Edit: i must be slacking im usually a bit higher up the posting list...

Edit 2: no clear suspects to my mind unless were going for the lynch the lurker strategy that always works so well...

[White_eyes:D]

Sigurd 6

Well.....lurkers victory if there is no WOG.... I am going to Vote:Sigurd....my puny vote, well in no way get him lynched...but he might start talking.

[Jolt]

Yoyoma was blocked and tonight there was one less kill. I'm in favor of seeing whether that actually means something or not (By not blocking Yoyoma next night and seeing how many kills we get)

Myself and The Flax were scribes. It would seem from the write-up that GH was as well. If so then I am totally confused as to how a foul adherent of the ideals of reading managed to find and destroy so many scribes so quickly.....

Perhaps, he only targets Good Men??? (makes sense....you guys have more voting power) I recall thinking, when I started this game I thought "If I was the Mafia/SK, I would take out most of the Good men" since then....town's voting power would be halved.

[seireikhaan]

Too many lurking their way through this game
Now, I shall Vote: Sigurd, who has played lame
From him, we need more talk
We can't allow a balk
Tell us why we should not assign you blame

Yeah i thought of that as well... most kills have been good men... seems town only lynches men though.. it will be intresting to see which good men remain...

Edit the fact they were all scribes is a bit coincidental... unless most of the good men were/are scribes....

Rules:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

You must not:
-Post screenshots of anything game related (private messages, quicktopics, the game thread itself, chatlogs)
-Quote or forge any game related private messages once dead

You are allowed to do anything else (quote and forge private messages or quicktopics or chatlogs while alive, reveal your role while dead (as long as you don’t quote and or lightly paraphrase private messages), private message other players dead or alive, etc…)

As is stands, I can receive quoted information, I just can no longer send it. I'd have to completely paraphrase (put into my own words) all further info. I'll repeat my call for people to claim a role, no role, or a duel rating, or continue to remain silent if they wish. As of this time, I can receive quoted information. I just can't repost it to anyone.

Well, the night Yoyoma was blocked, the god Pisuf did not kill anyone, while the sorcerer and the Scribe-killer killed again. That may mean that Yoyoma is Pisuf.

So far the Scribe-killer has only killed Good Men. There is no indication that he is a follower of Vode whatsoever, which probably means more than one Mafia. Quite possibly the Scribe killer might be a SK, whose objective is to kill every scribe, or every Good Men (Maybe he was lucky to get 3 scribes in a row?). The sorcerer, which is a follower of Vode, has killed everyone with little effort (Even shlin which was apparently a soldier), which might mean he has 100% success (Or not?), he has killed beefy first, which is a good men, and was targetted by ATPG. It might be ATPG's colleague (Which is still unknown who he is and therefore no way to confirm whether he is innocent or guilty, given the fact that ATPG himself suspected of his colleague). Ever since the Tax Collector died, he has reverted to killing a normal man. (This one is the first.)

I'd say that there are two different Mafias, due to different MOs, and different patterns (The Scribe Killer kills scribes, the sorcerer hasn't made a pattern yet.)

[FactionHeir]

I think what's more concerning is that the killer actually knows who is a scribe and who isn't.

Also, its odd that Pisuf hasn't been active this night, or maybe he can only act against certain characters? Or maybe only every even night?

[White_eyes:D]

Scribe Killer kills scribes

but here's the thing....HOW does he know, who is a scribe? I would think he is just limiting the number of Good men....so this way there is no chance a person with 2 votes can get lucky and lynch him.. (means it's not a "Good Man" who is killing good men....but the other guy...the wizard is likely one, since I imagine he would love his books....)

[Askthepizzaguy]

I've no reason to suspect my partner at this point besides the paranoia of all the scribes going down. The trouble is, we did not get all the information about all the scribes, if I recall correctly. There were at least a couple scribes I think that did not reveal to us. Gaius and GH didn't reveal squat.

That tells me that the mafia have the ability to target just the scribes, have massive investigation powers, or are just plain really, really lucky. My question is; why are the scribes priority targets? Perhaps it is just because they are Good Men, and the Men want them dead.

If the mafia keep this up, we won't need to lynch off the Good Men, so I suggest we focus on the Men. But that's my opinion, and I encourage you to use the information you have that I am not privy to, to make up your own minds.

[GeneralHankerchief]

I was a Bureaucrat.

By the way, I changed my mind. Everyone needs to vote for Andres. Do this immediately.

OK....Reason? or better yet evidence?

[GeneralHankerchief]

Because I said so, that's why.

[Askthepizzaguy]

That doesn't sound like legitimate suspicion. I'd recommend the town completely ignores you.

A reasonless tip is one thing, but you didn't even stick to it. Unless you can explain yourself, there is no reason to follow your lead.

[GeneralHankerchief]

My explanation is that a lynch of a 100% guilty person is much better in the town's interests than a lynch of a possibly guilty person. Andres is your man, gentlemen. If you are wise, you will follow me and heed my teachings.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I'm in favor of an Andres lynch...
