Royal Family Mafia - Game Over!

[Sarcastro]

TSS is so scummy that he overwrites my own towniness? Impressive.

[the silent speaker]

TSS + Sarc = scum.

If you believe that, put your money where your mouth is and vote Sarc with me.

[Sarcastro]

How dare you bus me, TSS?! I shall bus you first!

No, seriously, TSS, if you're going to bus someone, bus HH, your real scumbuddy.

Sarcastro's role strikes me as too weird to be fake, and seems semiconsistent with what we've seen in the game.

I agree with Thok.
OK, if I'm following correctly, here are the claims in order claimed:

Hacker Huck - vanilla
TSS - vanilla
Sarcastro - Court Magician (if sarcastro dies at night, his target cannot vote the next day)
TSQ - Bowman (raises/lowers the drawbridge)
Thok - vanilla
STD - ??? (Backup portcullis keeper)

Looking back at the daybreak scenes, I noticed that the portcullis was never raised until after VitaminR died. That leads me to believe that STD

can

raise the portcullis, but he was prevented from doing it while the portcullis keeper was alive. I don't see raising the portcullis as being favorable to the town.

Vote: STD

[Cardinal Ibelly]

I'm tired and busy, so out of the goodness of my heart deadline is being extended until August 28, 11:59 pm PST.

So use it.

Unvote, vote: STD

Mason partner? I see "watchman," not "mason." Also you're my other scum suspect. If sarc is innocent then we have a lying townie, as TSQ has claimed a necessary role. I would have assumed Hacker, but he's voting STD; would scum bus a buddy at this point in the game? I don't know.

[size=large]THIS POST PUTS STD AT LYNCH MINUS ONE.[/SIZE]

Vote: TSS

Hackerhuck, why don't you read my claim again and see if you're correct. Backup = not correct.

We never actually tried to raise the portcullis cuz we didn't know what it did (and I kinda suck at remembering to send in things), but I've been doing it now because I was curious.

unvote, vote STD

Will you tell me, why? What about if I say plz?

backup=doesn't have to send in things.

[HackerHuck]

OK, so I got the backup part wrong. That doesn't negate anything else I said. I'm not buying it.

[Thestatusquo]

Well to be honest, its because at first I misread and thought you claimed my role, but then I read it again, and I see that you claimed to be a mason with someone who...was not a mason.

[HackerHuck]

It sure would have been nice if Bogre had been paying attention back on Day 5...

I'm not sure that Muller would show up in the role list, but I still think STD's our scum. Too much is coincidental.

STD - what is your exact role and why have you not lowered the portcullis since you first raised it?

[Save The Dragons]

but then I read it again, and I see that you claimed to be a mason with someone who...was not a mason.

Yeah, I guess. I mean. It doesn't say mason, so I cleverly decided to latch onto a role that doesn't say mason in hopes that you'll never go back and look at the role and see that it doesn't say mason.

The Portcullis is down, sealing the first exit.
The Drawbridge is raised, sealing the second exit.
The Jail is empty, and locked.

Huh. That's wierd. That kinda...blows your whole theory out of the water, now, doesn't it? Unless you think I'm a psychic or something. If that's the case...PHEAR ME!!!!!! I AM YOUR NEW GOD! WORSHIP ME AS YOU WOULD ANYONE ELSE MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU!!!!!!

I don't get what you're trying to say here. I never said I didn't think you could raise/lower the drawbridge. I said that the portcullis keeper kept you from opening it in the first place.

Save the Dragons has been lynched. Lynch scene coming right up.

[Cardinal Ibelly]

Dark red waters run on the gravel leading to the gallows. The lifeblood of the fallen mist into the skies... torn cloaks, worn shoes, broken swords, twisted chains... all the remnants of things which seem to have happened an eternity ago, but which at the same time are very real, very tangible reminders of the present.

Save the Dragons walks over the stained earth, at the prodding of those few around him. He licks his lips in trepidation, and finds he his mouth is dry, his lips chapped. He suddenly halts walking, looking silently and forlornly at the wooden structure erected before him, so elegant on paper and so hideous in actuality.

Without words, he ascends to the top of the dais, and allows himself to be fitted, while gazing into the abyss...

All too soon, the abyss gazes back at him.

Save the Dragons, Watchman, Portcullis Keeper, has been lynched!

It is now

Night Nine

[the silent speaker]

We have no claimed docs or blockers. A nightkill would have won the game for any allied scum. Might we not have allied scum remaining? Even so why would a solo scum not kill?

[Thok]

The Royal Family of Jellugi (

formally consisting of the King, Queen, Prince, and Princess

) have for many years been in power, through an unjust seizure of the throne. Their laws have been appalling, their use of power tyrannous. Taxes are inversely proportional with overall happiness: too high and too low, respectively.

Unless the mod is lying to us or left out one of the scum roles suggested by the flavor text, we still have at least two scum left (the Queen and the Princess).

If the lack of killing is the result of a power role, it has to come from TSQ, as no other power role has a claimed mechanic that could stop a night kill (unless something really weird is going on with Sarcastro's role or one of the townies). A deliberate no-kill seems unlikely, especially since we haven't had a kill either of the last two nights.

FOS TSS, Hackerhuck

. From my point of view, it's very likely that at least one and possibly both of you are scum.

[HackerHuck]

I wish that STD had clarified his role a little better. I'm not sure how the portcullis was raised after he was lynched. I think it's more likely that there's a game mechanism preventing the lynches.

I believe our named roles a little more than our vanillas. Out of the three left, I find TSS to be the most likely candidate.

[the silent speaker]

If the lack of killing is the result of a power role, it has to come from TSQ, as no other power role has a claimed mechanic that could stop a night kill

I thought of that, but then surely the obvious thing would be to kill TSQ... even if they didn't work things out that far, they would have shied away from killing Sarc (one way or another) and probably kept the townies alive to keep us from figuring out which of them is scum, which leaves only TSQ anyway. So if TSQ is town, why isn't he dead, and if TSQ is scum, why aren't two other people dead -- since scum-TSQ knows that there are no roles to stop him?

[HackerHuck]

It would be nice to hear from TSQ or Sarcastro sometime during the day. Hopefully they'll see that the thread is open again.

[Thestatusquo]

My role has no doctor powers that I am aware of.
