Mafia Behind the Maiden (Game over!)

[Vi]

Rhinox replaces Oman, effective immediately.

[Vi]

Benmage replaces Avenging Angel, effective immediately.

Night 2 will end in 48 hours.

So, Sunday at this time. Monday for you weirdos across the ocean.

[Vi]

There is a chance that Night 2 will be extended due to circumstances beyond my control, as evidenced by the facts that the trees outside look like they want to catch air and my lights are starting to flicker. In the event that Night does not begin at something near the appropriate time, consider breaking my normal advice and panic until you receive confirmation that I'm okay, at which time you should resume not panicking.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Somewhere away from the main staging area, well aside from Daein's supply convoy, a stray bishop was watching the battle. In spite of his simple garb, it was clear from his bearing that he was a man of no small confidence. His staff was a model that seemed far advanced from standard Daein issue, but then, nothing about this man seemed to be in line with the Daein army. The man glanced down at his right hand, which seemed to be cloaked in an ethereal glow, and then looked up again. His face was serene, but carried an air of troublement - an involuntary reaction to the anxiety he was containing within himself.

The man inched ever closer to the main lines, his gaze darting back and forth to his glowing hand. He dared not be spotted. He surveyed the skies to ensure that the Hawks, Pegasus Knights, and Dracoknights were two hundred yards away, checked the trees for nested Snipers, and then moved just behind the crest of a snowy hill to take in the atrocity of the war.



This man was being followed. He knew he was being followed, but he could not sense by what or why.

The bishop began to slowly turn around to face who it was he was sensing, but while he was turning a sharp impact knocked his tall, slender body forward. He slid over the ridge and right into one of Daein's support lines, coming to a rough stop by colliding with a barrel of spare spears.

The snow-drenched bishop looked up to see a wild-eyed man holding an axe facing him. Following his gaze, it became immediately apparent that the axefighter's attention was focused on the bishop's glowing hand. The bishop started to explain the cover story he had rehearsed prior to his arrival, but it was clear in the axefighter's eyes that he wasn't interested in talking. The fighter suddenly began screaming, and the bishop rolled to the side and began racing up the hill as fast as his robes and the slick snow would let him.

Atop the ridge, the bishop began running for the treeline fifty yards away. As he ran, though, he felt *something* hit him from behind. He wanted to keep running, but he involuntarily turned around to see what had struck him. It was the hand axe of the man pursuing him - the axefighter had thrown it to try to slow the bishop down. While the bishop was completely unharmed in spite of the impact, it seemed the fighter had succeeded in slowing him down.



This was quickly turning into the bishop's worst-case scenario. He quickly gazed at his staff - a sturdy silver rod with two prongs securing an oversized, lustrous, purple orb. All he needed to do now was get his pursuer to hold off long enough to cast his spell while standing still...

The bishop turned around and held his staff in one hand, hoping to use it to ward off the axefighter. The fighter, showing no evident concern for thought or finesse, took a wild vertical swing at the bishop but missed terribly to the right. The fighter, carried by the momentum of his swing, circled around the bishop while his victim turned as much to keep his staff facing the axeman.

However, the bishop did not anticipate the fighter swinging his axe upward, handle-first. It struck the bishop's right hand, which involuntarily threw

something

that was in it high into the air at an odd angle and out of sight.

The bishop panicked. The first thing he did was take hold of his staff with both hands and use its butt end to pummel the axefighter in the rib cage. As the fighter fell backward, the bishop looked up and saw a dracoknight flying in his general direction. There was no more time to waste. The bishop raised his staff, and vanished in a pillar of light as soon as an intricate magic circle beneath him finished drawing itself.

Only one groundling and one patrolling dracoknight saw any of this. None of them had any idea that something flew out of the bishop's hand. But resting in a pile of brush just inside the treeline, a medallion was lying neglected. It continued to burn with an unearthly glow that danced and twisted in the most subtle of air currents.

This is our lynch for today. Speedwagon please and thanks.

[UberNinja]

Ok, I will admit I haven't been paying a lot of attention to this game...

So for me Nikanor, your boyfriend for a day, will you please explain: why the DDD quickwagon?
Maybe I'm dense, maybe it's something totally fucking obvious, but I have no idea what this is.
I wanna try to get back into the game, and you helping me out will help me out a lot. Helpfully.

Thanks.

[Magister Ludi]

Did anyone else notice the number went down from 40 to 39?

Also, I'm really happy that Nexus flipped scum, even though I didn't really see that coming. I isoed him in the night, but it doesn't reveal much, he only voted one person.

Sad as it is for me to say, my Oman is probably town and that wagon probably has scum in it. Time to check it out.

ML, trust me, DDD is scum. It became obvious during the course of yesterday.

If it wasn't clear, I think TSH super town (barring extraordinary shenanigans) and Alchemist town. Nexus scum in this early stages probably has all three unflipped players being town on him, dana to the town pile, (I was coming around to this most of yesterday)

Oman I was so certain of . Anyways, the only position of probably sketchiness on Nexus would be LLD, Uber, or GreyICE. Everyone else reads as town or is town because of extenuating circumstance. But probably there may be no scum on Nexus, which leads the hunt to elsehwhere (maybe DDD, or Katsuki or singer?)

Nexus (L-6) ~ Duplicity, Lady Lambdadelta, Teleporting Speed Hippos, Katsuki, UberNinja, Alchemist, GreyICE, Nikanor
Oman (L-6) ~ Magister Ludi, ToastyToast, Tammy, Debonair Danny DiPietro, Gammagooey, SpyreX, Nikanor

Nexus collapses to L-7, goes back to L-6, oman takes off, and DDD reappears on Oman. Strikes for him!

Oman (L-4) ~ Magister Ludi, ToastyToast, Tammy, Debonair Danny DiPietro, Gammagooey, SpyreX, Nikanor, danakillsu, UberNinja, kanyeknowsbest

Oman gets this far. I think TT, tammy, Gamma, SpyreX, dana are all town.

I think this points towards me voting DDD. I can get behind it.

I'm thinking there can't be to many more scum out there, maybe two or three maximum. If thats the case, they probably weren't bussing yesterday and were either squirreling their votes away or trying to actively lynch someone else, we should probably not lynch from the Nexus wagon for a few days.

What's Duplicity flipping as self aligned got to do with anything?

[UberNinja]

WHY was it obvious? I wasn't paying attention.

Vote: DDD

for the lulz I guess (mostly because Nik said so, Glork not so much), but I want to actually try to get into the game and be useful at some point, so if somebody would explain to me like I was a raw fuckin newbie, that'd be perfectamundo

kthx


p-edit: wut @ spyrex being self-aligned. explain pl0x

[Alchemist]

DDD scum is good, btw. He's in my top 5 def.

@Ninja: Reread Spyre's claim. I think I'm starting to understand this setup. I doubt Dup was the only one.

I'll speedvote DDD whatever. Keep an eye on Spyre though guys.

vote: DDD

[UberNinja]

I'd agree with there likely being a few scum in the lurkers, don't think the AV-Pere hydra is one of them though. But Implo/Nexus can die. Kats too.

Was ISOing Duplicity and this is what I found.

implo/Nexus were both scum. Shall we kill Kats at some soon point too?
I am still of the mind that Kats is kind of derptown at this point (as am I) but how much weight should we give this snippet of Duplicity's, given he was a third-party?

p-edit: k Alchem

[Alchemist]

Nik you will be held accountable if this fucks up though

Trolling wont be a viable excuse.

[UberNinja]

Also I'm not in the mood to search through 175 spyrex posts for a claim. Throw me a bone here?

Yeah, fuck that. I'm not doing that much work. Help me be helpful or fuck you, Glork!
