Dragon Age: The Aeducan Succession [Stopped]

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

Imprison: Mr THIS

Your story seems plausible, but until a better alternative comes along I think you would be best behind bars.

Imprisonment, rather than plain exile, would be a much more rational view to dealing with me. Imprison: ArpeggiateTHIS.

[Reenk Roink]

A messenger carries a note:

Dwarves of Orzammar:

I suggest you take a look at the one called Chaotix, his words, and his actions, during last round, and consider what I told you. I would suggest nothing but an all out vote for execution for him. The one they call civplayah is worth looking at too.

As for my weapons, I'd give them to none among you as punishment for your stinginess. However, I guess Double A could borrow them to help against the Darkspawn. I will recollect them after the Darkspawn are defeated.

Imprisoning ArpeggiateTHIS seems very useless, if you are truly concerned about him, simply have him blocked again at night, that is to say IF the blocker wasn't working for the Darkspawn themselves...

P.S: To atone for your sins, please raise 20 gold and a trinket of value, and have it aside for me when I triumphantly return after you have defeated the Darkspawn.

[Renata]

Arpeg, what's the in-game purpose of this bride thing, given you wanted me to be it?

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

Arpeg, what's the in-game purpose of this bride thing, given you wanted me to be it?

It's just a minor victory condition, and I picked you completely randomly. I'm supposed to be looking for a spouse to marry, and I can investigate one player per night to see if they're female or not. If they are female, I'm supposed to be able to set up a romance of sorts. That's all I know at the moment, at least until I find a fair lady, eh?

[johnhughthom]

Female, or female noble Mr THIS?

[Beskar]

Actually, wouldn't that be the other way round, as in you know if they are male or not, and you are a Noble Hunter?

[johnhughthom]

Noble Hunters aren't looking for somebody to marry. I don't think a commoner is allowed to marry a noble, which is why I asked the question.

[Beskar]

Noble Hunters aren't looking for somebody to marry. I don't think a commoner is allowed to marry a noble, which is why I asked the question.

Noble Hunters are looking to make offspring of the Noble, in order to improve their own status, money, etc, etc

[Secura]

Noble Hunters aren't looking for somebody to marry.

That's your interpretation, though... just sayin'.

[autolycus]

I'd encourage whoever locked up ArpThis last night to do so again, but I think the group of us should do something else. I don't have much in terms of leads right now, so I'm going to follow the legionnaire's instinct and say Imprison: Chaotix.

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

Female, or female noble Mr THIS?

Depending upon the person, the romance may or may not succeed. I think you are right, it is a female noble or perhaps paragon that I seek, not a mere commoner.

[johnhughthom]

Noble Hunters are looking to make offspring of the Noble, in order to improve their own status, money, etc, etc

Not through marriage though.

Good idea. Unvote, Imprison: Chaotix

[seireikhaan]

Vote: Chaotix

I said so last round. Now that Reenk says so as well, I'll actually push this. Chaotix is guilty, guilty, guilty. Arp may or may not be coincidence, but Chaotix definitely acted scummy.

Mid-Day Update


In the Throne Room of the Royal Palace...

While the king's guests are discussing the events of the previous night and their current suspicions, it appears that a rumour has been busy meandering around Orzammar; it finally reaches the throne room via two guards chatting away to one another.

"Did you hear about that ArpeggiateTHIS fella? He's lookin' for love! Steady on, lasses!"

[johnhughthom]

Ohh, those two are in trouble if Mr THIS overhears them calling him Arpeggiate...

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

Ohh, those two are in trouble if Mr THIS overhears them calling him Arpeggiate...

I assure you, I have no intentions of turning into one of those PEVERGREEN characters. Call me what you want :3

In other news, I've sold my Dwarven Shortsword. It should appear in the shop next round. Oh, and I'm now weaponless, so I'll be taking you all on with my bare hands, just like true warriors should.

Now why would you sell the sword, you're only weapon? /peeks at items for sale....

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

Now why would you sell the sword, you're only weapon? /peeks at items for sale....

Because I don't like things that go bump in the night, that's why.

EDIT: Oh, and to prove that I'm telling the truth about the whole axe thing.

[johnhughthom]

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but it won't prove anything. I hope you got some decent coin for it.

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but it won't prove anything. I hope you got some decent coin for it.

How so?

[johnhughthom]

Tell me how it does so we can shoot down your assumptions.

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

Tell me how it does so we can shoot down your assumptions.

I'll post it in steps, so you can tell me exactly which step I got wrong.
1. I began life as a dwarf with a dwarven shortsword (and armour, but that strays off my point).
2. The mafia attempted a kill with an axe.
3. A sword is not an axe.
4. If I sell my sword, it will appear in the shop next turn for everybody to see.
5. Since the start of the game, there has not been any dwarven shortswords passed through the shop. Therefore we can assume that the sword I am claiming to have sold has existed since the start of the game.
6. It is totally irrational to assume that a player would start with two different weapons. A rogue might, but I'd expect them to start with two daggers.

Where'd I stray off the righteous path, m'lord?

[Secura]

3. A sword is not an axe.

When all else fails, state the obvious, huh?

[johnhughthom]

I'll post it in steps, so you can tell me exactly which step I got wrong.
1. I began life as a dwarf with a dwarven shortsword (and armour, but that strays off my point). How do we know you're a dwarf?
2. The mafia attempted a kill with an axe. Really????
3. A sword is not an axe. Again, really?????
4. If I sell my sword, it will appear in the shop next turn for everybody to see. OK, surely one of these points will mean something...
5. Since the start of the game, there has not been any dwarven shortswords passed through the shop. Therefore we can assume that the sword I am claiming to have sold has existed since the start of the game. And...
6. It is totally irrational to assume that a player would start with two different weapons. No, it's not. A rogue might, but I'd expect them to start with two daggers. Shortsword and dagger is a perfectly logical rogue equip.

Where'd I stray off the righteous path, m'lord? You were ever on the path?

Don't take that entirely seriously. The point stands though, selling your sword proves nothing.

[Double A]

Or if you're a master at double-handed weapons, you could start out with a short sword AND an axe.

(Beserkers are awesome)

[Pinman]

Lets go with Imprison: Chaotix.

Not like we have any better leads really.

[Chaotix]

Vote: ArpeggiateTHIS

I was the one who threw him in the jailhouse as a hunch, and it seems my hunch is likely correct. I am less-inclined to believe his excuses than others, as I am sure the intruders will have a cover role anyway.

For those of you voting me, you now know why I was acting "scummy". The reason I do not want us to imprison players with the lynch is because it renders my own ability, as a Guardian of the Law, useless. Figure this: had Reenk been imprisoned last night, and I had still chosen to imprison ArpeggiateTHIS, we would not know which one was prevented from killing. Because we lynched him, I now know for sure that unless the killer has made a wild, unpredictable move, Arpeg is our culprit.

We know Reenk was innocent. I did not want to exile him, but it was better than imprisoning him, the only other option. I had planned to jail him myself and get Arpeg lynched yesterday, but that didn't work out.

As far as I can tell, the mafia had no idea such an ability as mine existed. They would therefore have no reason to refrain from killing after an exile. That's why I believe Arpeg is our culprit.

If I'm going to let Arpeg off, I'm going to need a FULL role reveal from him, including his name. And if I decide to believe his story, then we can test it manually: I, Guardian Darev, happen to be a female dwarf of the Noble Caste.

[Romanic]

Chaotix, your ability is far from useless if we imprison someone while you imprison another. If a murder occurs, having 2 people in jail means that both cannot have done it. How useless is that?

You're looking at it the wrong way: trying to find who's guilty, when roleblocks should be mostly used to know who's innocent.

[johnhughthom]

I think we can only have one imprisonment at a time.

[Romanic]

I think we can only have one imprisonment at a time.

I don't think so JHT. Read again what Chaotix wrote:
