[Sajin]

unvote; Vote: Vino

[qwints]

@SSK's game, if I were a vig, I would vig Boxman.

[qwints]

On further reflection, I would not vig boxman.

[Pyromaniac]

oops. forgot to unvote

Unvotes are required (Rule 7). Since Pyromaniac was already voting a player (Kairyuu) when he tried to vote Vino, his vote does not count, and therefore Vino is NOT lynched. - Tar

End of Day 2

Another day, and the threat to you still survives. You decide that Vino - an outlander, who you would describe as "Scandinavian" if such a word existed in Dominaria - is a part of it.

As you move to force Vino into the rifts, however, somebody in your group does the job for you first - a sharp spear (quill, perhaps?), accurately aimed, assassinates Vino just as he... she?... was taking his... her?... last steps towards the rift.

You quickly realize that this assassination is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you find a planewalking device in Vino's pocket, capable of sending Vino to other planes for at least a brief period of time. A rather interesting and dangerous thing, that; feeding Vino into the rifts probably wouldn't have killed Vino anyways.

The bad news is that some of you with an eye for legends recognize Saffi Eriksdotter, guide and protector of the legendary explorer Hans in the time of the Ice Age so long ago. Apparently, the rifts had brought her forward several thousand years in time.

The final piece in the puzzle is a journal you find on her (his?) body, which describes how Vino tried to use the planeswalking device to protect people (by moving them between planes, so that they couldn't be found by assassins) but couldn't get it to work. A couple of the more knowledgable among you recognize what the problem was: Saffi's device required an equivalent exchange to work. She could have been a strong ally had she figured out her device...

11) Vino, Saffi Eriksdotter, Townie Slider Doctor, Lynched Day 2

It is now Night 2. Night deadline is Thursday, August 24, 2009 at ~6:00 P.M. CST (GMT -6).

[Vino]

My apologies for not being around this weekend to defend myself and in general, I got in over my head with this game.

PS Bah!

[Sajin]

That was a very abusable role as claimed. The swap thing as Tar described seems more balanced. I wish you would of been more clear vino.

[Pyromaniac]

Well. Since we have a swap and a push in addition to it I would guess that the other game both have a swap and ssk's (or fl, I forget which) also has a push.

[Papa Zito]

Sigh.

Mastin better show up tomorrow.

[Pyromaniac]

I dislike how sajin leaves wagons as soon as the claim the jumps back on again after they don't buy the claim.

[Papa Zito]

Mufasa needs to die like woah.

[Sajin]

I did not want to lynch a doctor. The way he described it would of been way too powerful and completely abusable. The way Tar described it in flavor is more balanced as it would only last 1 night. Vino did not explain it well.

[Pyromaniac]

Does not change the fact that you jumped off the wagon and got back on again in both scenarios.

[Sajin]

True. But I have rational for each change.

Are you saying you find my opinions scummy?

Or just the fact that my opinions have changed?

[Pyromaniac]

The fact that you unvote as soon as they claim. And then you vote again if the people don't buy the claim.

[ChaosOmega]

My lack of contribution correlates to me starting school. Apologies for that. I should be able to post more frequently soon.

Anyways, I'm not really liking veerus too much. Post 427 looks appeasing, like he's just trying to get people off his case. His analysis on 416 is really wishy-washy, waffling on most everybody except Papa Zito.

[qwints]

The suspense is killing me. SSK and our game should both be going to game pretty soon. That'll give us a lot of info to go on.

[Tarhalindur]

Beginning of Day 3

Another day breaks after a night that threatened malice and murder.

Time for a head count.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine... wait a minute, you're all here!

Or are you? A couple of familiar faces seem to be missing. First, you search Kairyuu's tent, looking to see if his stuff is there, but it's... gone. No, not just Kairyuu, but rather the entire tent has gone missing overnight.

Sajin, who preferred packing less for his travels, also seems to be missing. You find a spare pair of shoes where his knapsack used to be.

But then... if there are nine of you here but two of your original number are missing... then you should have... newcomers?

No sooner do you realize this than Papa Zito points out two among your number, claiming them to be acquaintances from his time back in Kamigawa.

The first calls himself Mufasa, the second ZazieR. You're not sure if these newcomers are a blessing or a curse... but you're going to have to work with them either way.

No kills occurred Night 2.

9) Sajin has left the subgame (he is now in Kamigawa subgame)
12) Kairyuu has left the subgame (he is now in Kamigawa subgame)

27) ZazieR has entered the subgame (originally from Kamigawa subgame)
31) Mufasa has entered the subgame (originally from Kamigawa subgame)

Day 2 will begin shortly.

Mastin has not picked up his reminder PM and is being replaced.

Also, I'm keeping a close eye on something, though I will not elaborate at this time. - Tar

Begin Day 3!

[veerus]

Wait, Tar, aren't we in day 3?..

Actually, now that you mention it... *updates*... - Tar

[Papa Zito]

I have a bad feeling the bad guys are stockpiling people here to get a majority.

So, who to take out first, the serial lurker or the beautiful flower?

Dead weight wins.

vote: Zazie

[Papa Zito]

This thread needs moar posting.

[malthusis]

I personally think the person who acts like scum should be taken over the lurker.

Vote: Mufasa

[Papa Zito]

I'm good either way, honestly. Mufasa at least posts so I'd keep him around just for activity's sake.

Veerus also still needs to die. Choices, choices...

Hey, I had a thought. What if veerus is the correct choice, and the scum imported wounded townies to distract us from him?
