Argument against Stephen Asen

[Sasaki Kojiro]

You have littlegrizzly twice.

@kage and duck: getting a strong feeling here. The irony of you randomly voting sigurd and complaining about my challenge is a bit much.

[Prince Cobra]

Vote: Stephen Asen

Master says double his vote as default position.

After catching up with the thread, I'll have to join the bandwagon and

Vote : Stephen Asen

@Besker: I would like to point out that there are a few blanks in your accusations against Stephen, but seeing as there is nothing BETTER to go on, i will just Vote: Stephen Asen until something more decisive comes up .

We can only learn
from our mistakes in voting
not doing nothing

If you are going to pick up a victim without the good reason following suit of the others we will not reach very far.

I will obey the will of my Lord, but I will not give up to wipe out the shame from my face till I breath.

Argument against Stephen Asen

I think LG unvoted me.

[Kagemusha]

I find it also interesting, Duckie, why you switched to Sigurd? Whats the case against him?

[AggonyDuck]

You have littlegrizzly twice.

@kage and duck: getting a strong feeling here. The irony of you randomly voting sigurd and complaining about my challenge is a bit much.

Sasaki, you might have forgotten the fact that I play with integrity. I've been mafia twice, once being killed by a vigilante in night two and the other time in 'Interficio quod Scrupulosa', where I survived quite a while until you pressured me. I only claim innocence when I am innocent, as doing so otherwise would destroy my integrity. In 'Interficio' I never claimed to be innocent and I hated every second of being the bad guy. Hell once you pressured me I didn't even try to defend myself. I guess I'm one of those horrible mafia players, who doesn't play the game to be a cunning mafioso, but to solve the mystery of who the killers are as townie. Most people might have forgotten that you can count on my innocence claim, so I was planning to survive as far as possible before pointing out this fact so that we could narrow down the options in the end game.

As to why I changed my vote to Sigurd, by now my gut is saying that Stephen is innocent and I haven't heard a thing from Sigurd.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Stephen's defense strikes a chord with me.

Vote: Sigurd

[Haudegen]

Hmm, interesting discussion between Sasaki and Kage. I´m genuinely curious if this potential swordsmaster/ninja/traitor will be attacked during the next night.

But I guess if Lord Takeda wanted him dead, he would have said so.

Question: Is it a standard procedure in huge mafia games that one player (Kage) replaces another one?

Vote: Abstain

For Ibn-Khaldun, who has so far been active, to be replaced by Kagemusha, I'd guess Ibn-Khaldun PMed Andres that he cannot remain active anymore and asked to be replaced.

Can't really put a bead on anyone yet, so might as well nudge the 'silent ones'...
thus, Vote: Peasant Phill

[LittleGrizzly]

Our Lord Takeda has asked us that we make sure to get a vote in and make sure it isn't an abstain!

Anyone who disobeys the direct orders of our Lord I will seek out and destroy personally or send one of my loyal samurai to do the job!

Get your non-abstention vote in now!

It happens quite often that if someone can't commit time to the game like they thought they could they get replaced... especially in a game as popular as this one...

[FactionHeir]

Unfortunately the silent ones are in no danger of being lynched
When's it WoG time anyway.

Yeah, thought so too. However, I did not feel like abstaining, nor have anything against Stephen Asen or Sigurd that warrants my vote.

Well, I´m not buying the case against Stephen.

I´ll place my vote on Sigurd, perhaps we can create a tie. Let the gods decide!

vote: Sigurd

Thanks, and thanks to glyphz too.

[TinCow]

Sigurd is most definitely in danger of being lynched now. With a post count of 2, I think he qualifies as silent.

[Csargo]

Unvote:, Vote:Sigurd

Yay for ties!!!

[FactionHeir]

That is true, though Sigurd hasn't even voted D1.

[shlin28]

Too many lurkers

*Looks at himself*



I really do not see the case against Stephen Asen - so what if he posted before the night write-up was posted? I believe I did too... as I am sure many others.

On the other hand we got lurkers, who are unlikely to be mafia either, but since in this game each mafia group has tons of teammates I guess it is still possible...

Vote: Sigurd

Also, Olavi says he was going to be inactive - yet in the write-up it seems he is a bad guy who had done some night action... so that suggests he has active teammates?

[shlin28]

FH why did you remove this part from your last post?

Btw, something struck me as odd just now.
We got 64 players. 63 as CA can't vote. 3 got offed N1, so 60 alive. Yet if you tally all the votes + Andres' count of non voters, that number doesn't fit. So are there roles other than CA that can't vote either?!

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Fos:shlin

[shlin28]

Yay I got FoSed!

[FactionHeir]

Because I realized I didn't count the votes on ATPG
And I sent it as a PM to Andres because his non voting count is 13 when it really is 12.

Happy?

[AggonyDuck]

What does FoS mean anyway?

[Andres]

Voting concluded. Stand by for execution.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Just caught up with the rapid voting (sorry, finally installed ETW ).

Beskar: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not go backwards and edit an old tally. PLEASE just post a new tally wherever the thread is then. This really messes up a vote tracking effort, as I end up backtracking to figure out what I missed, only to notice that I haven't missed but then I have to adjust for backing up.

I know it is not as sacrosanct as votes -- which should never be edited for obvious reasons, but please.....

[Husar]

I guess I'm late then, to vote abstain.

I get this feeling that Sigurd will come and be angry that we lynched him while he had some real life stuff to deal with...
I mean if he gets lynched, I didn't count but it looked like it.

Please excuse me now while I kill my notebook and never come back...

Day 2 - Conclusion

Hour of the Monkey

" Snow slowly fell down
" I tried to grab it quickly
" and then it was gone

Saruwatari Taiki (Sigurd) put down the pencil. The sheer beauty of the moment brought him to tears. Tears of happiness. He bowed deeply for his master before slowly rolling up the parchment and sealing it. Calmly he turned to his comrades and smiled at those good men gathered in the courtyard.

Saruwatari took the clean knife that was on the white cushion in front of him.

The last rays of sunlight flickered on the steel.

The condemned man looked up and watched the sky. He then lowered his eyes to enjoy the scenery of the mountains one last time.

After a long, deep breath, he opened his white kimono a bit and placed the sharp knife into position. His face remained emotionless when it pierced through the skin into his flesh. Before he could lose his selfcontrol, the sword of his kaishakuninended his life.

Takeda nodded respectfully to the body of Saruwatari Taiki, stood up and left, without adding any comment.

It's now night. PM's please. Orders have to reach me at 20.30 (GMT+1), that's +/- 23 hours from now.

[FactionHeir]

So when do you WoG?

[Prince Cobra]

It seems I was pardoned by my fellow samurais. I will hide my death poem until my time comes. I am grateful to those who supported me and I will try to win the trust and support of those who distrusted me. Yet, no ninja or traitor shall be pardoned!

I did not know much about Sigurd and I can only hope that we were lucky enough to condemn the right person. Let this be a lesson to all those who stay idle.

SemiOOC: To sleep or not to sleep? That's the question I face!
