Blood Soaked Elysium Fields

[EnigmaticFellow]

So you all wake up to begin the morning grind when you all notice something horrible, two bodies.

Dear 2ndsly, you are the Shield Maiden.

A witch with an understanding of protective mysteries, you can use your thaumaturgies to protect not yourself, but others instead.

Once a night, you may PM EnigmaticFellow with the title being 'Cast protective spells for [USER]' with [USER] being a living player in the game. This action will protect the targeted player from kills.

You win if the Coven is the last faction standing.

Dear Yun, you are the Town Crier.

A man with a job, you make declarations upon the happenings of the day.

Once a night, you may PM EnigmaticFellow with the title being 'Giving a message'. The body of the PM will be posted for all to see on the next day. Also, you must post in ALL CAPS else you will get fired and kicked out of the village - what amounts to a death sentence.

You win if the Village is the last faction standing.

The first one was bitten on the neck while the other one was assaulted by a blast of thaumaturgy.

Sure the death of a villager might be bad, but having a witch dead really makes it worth it. With the night having at least some mercy for the villagers, they all go to the town square to cast in their votes.

Day 2

7 votes for majority.

Alas, we have lost Yun.

Then again, 2ndsly turned out to be a witch and we didn't lynch him so now we now the DAA is working on his own. he's just as likely to get villagers or witches which means one thing.

He does not know who is in the cloven or he's trying to thin out the witches so he can get the town all to himself.

[RR121]

Unfortunately, without Yun's ability to talk to the cop, I have no idea who I find "suspicious". There are some lurkers around, we can look at that. I had some questions to ask the cop, but seeing that without Yun or Spin around, it would be foolish to reveal himself, I can't really do that.

Perhaps we should wait for more information?

[Reynel]

The thing is, we won't get more information until the day ends, appart from speculation on our own.
The good thing is that the witches lost the doctor equivalent, and I think that is a pro. Still, I don't know which faction is more dangerous, if DAs or witches, but I think the one in the lead are the DAs.
Another thing that we can notice is that the DA didn't turn 2ndsly into a vampire, wich means that at least it can't increase in numbers when it preys for witches, although we don't know what may happen with a normal villager...

[RR121]

Fair point. The problem is we're merely engaging in rampant speculation at this point, with no information.

Without any information, I can only suggest [NO LYNCH]

You're right, and our only lead at the moment is the few people that have not posted in a while, simply because it's no contributing to the game and it allows any witches and/or DAA to hide amongst them.

Those would be Detective Blackstone, Gesalt, Katie and Ace. While I don't want to just toss accusations based on that, they have only posted once during the whole game (the exception being Ace, who actually answered some of my complaints with "I was asleep") I say we investigate them for more leads, they could just not be interested on the game anymore or they could be witches in hiding, not wanting to post simply due to fear of sticking a foot in their mouth.

[gesalt]

Hmm to lynch blindly and hopefully hit someone or to abstain...Both are pretty bad choices so I think I'll wait for people to start discussing things before voting.

If we're lucky that's the case but my bet's on there being a coinflip or some form of chance when it comes to turning people.

I think abstaining is pretty bad choice, so I think we should just lynch for the moment. We haven't seen any hhelp from them in therms of intel or discussion, nor in terms of roles such as a vigilante or equivalent. If you notice,2ndsly was part of the enemy, and the other might just be too.

That may be correct. We dont have any clue about the vampires when it comes to biting normal villagers, so even if you trust someone, it could be that the next day (s)he could be part of them. This could be pure paranoia, but the chance still stands.

In the first statement, I meant lynch lurkers.

[gesalt]

In the first statement, I meant lynch lurkers.

I'm leaning that way too but we have time, so I'm going to hold off for a bit with my vote.

[Reynel]

Yeah, it's not like we have to vote now, so we should see if anyone else is having suspicion, or noticed something we didn't.

[Bloble]

I think we should do something, at least. I thought it would be better to wait without lynching yesterday, but that was assuming the cop would transmit observations through Yun. Since he's out, there's no one we can confirm as Town any more, and thus there's little point in wasting the day, which is our only chance to strike back at the Mafia.

Before assuming we have nothing, though, let's review what we do know. Yun and Mike didn't leave us with nothing.

Enhance, as Mike said earlier, is still suspicious, although I think he isn't Mafia, just stubborn and perhaps slightly suicidal for lynching one of our best players.

Chaos's little mix-up with the PMs in the beginning still stands, although it really is flimsy evidence and I wouldn't really take it as proof of anything.

I suppose the best thing to do would be to lynch the lurkers, but I'm not sure where to start with that, considering we've got quite a few of them. 2ndsly was a lurker, though, and I don't recall him ever actually posting, so perhaps the lurkers = Mafia theory has some basis, at least.

As to which one to Lynch, though, I have no idea. That's something for further discussion.

[Reynel]

I think Detective Blackstone is a good choice. He has not posted at all. If he is a normal villager, then we will loose someone anyway if we do nothing. If he is an Important role, he hasn't done anything and helps, at least, in no way (which could be because he just doesn't have time to play, but in that case, he won't help later if he is in the same situation, right?). And if he is mafia, well, we lynch a mafia member!
I accept further discussion, and if anyone has any objects, please claim, so we don't comit another error.

If we're really thinking about getting one of the lurkers lynched the my vote would go towards Detective Blackstone, simply due to his horrible attempts a defending himself in the last game showed us he would be the one to benefit the most out of staying silent and out of the thread if he's with the cloven.

Otherwise, like you said. Enhance wanted to lynch Mike from the beginning but if his behavior remains the same (IE. lynching for the lulz) then he might be a cloven amongst us, and Chaos merits at least another look at his behavior.

[Reynel]

Well, I don't think we have much more to disscuss. If anyone has any topic that want to disscuss, please state it, even if you dont know where to start, others might do.

[RR121]

OK, I admit that No Lynching is problematic as a course of action, but as you guys just pointed out, there's a lack of suitable targets.

Enhance is suspicious, for randomly voting Mike out of the blue, and for what Satehi suggests is an entirely joke reason.

Detective Blackstone...well, actually, not posting *is* very suspicious, and the last maf was, as has been noted, a lurker as well. I would like to see Blackstone post, as so far if I were to lynch anyone, I'd go with him.

Chaos...in all honesty, after thinking about it...I don't see anything very suspicious in what he said. It was silly, but not suspicious.

On a somewhat less firm note, I'd like to note that I've seen both Katie and Aces "watch" the thread for considerable periods of time, but not post, which I find a little odd. Its odd behavior, but they *have* posted, if only a little. I'm suspicious, but there are legitimate reasons to just read the thread.

All in all, the only users I find suspicious enough to justify lynching are Enhance and Detective_Blackstone, and I'm not certain enough to justify a lynch on either one. However, I would like those two to...speak. Something. Anything. It lets me get a read on people if they *post*.

Not posting == suspicious.

[Chaos Greyblood]

Well, even if we don't lynch, it's likely that whoever is the vigilante or the cop, he'll take down someone or the opposing faction will cause some damage. Either way, this seems to be a waiting game we're dug ourselves into.

Just a problem with that Chaos, if you notice the announcement of the people who died, it says that one of them died by being sucked like a pouch of juice and the other was blasted with magic, those are kills of the DAA and the witches respectively.

What this means is that whoever is the vigilante chose to not kill anyone, either because of fear of hitting a townie or because we have no suspects aside from some lurkers, or it could also mean that there's no vigilante.

- - - Updated - - -

Also, I guess we can count whoever it was that told Yun about Mike as a witch, but we'll never know who he was because Yun was killed by the cloven to cover their tracks.

[Reynel]

As I stated my reasons above, and it seems like we are going nowhere if we have no vigilante or (s)he doesn't do anything, I vote:

​Lynch Detective Blackstone.

[Raven2785]

I'll get along with Reynel on this one.

Lynch Detective Blackstone.

[Bloble]

Well, even if Blackstone is a villager, the worst thing that happens is we lose dead weight that could never have voted anyway, but I'll give him until tomorrow morning to post before I vote to lynch him as well.
