Hiya, seeing how it's night (and will be for 11 hours or so), could you please submit your night action, or pass?
Thanks!

P-S/ Tapper

Oops, soory meant to do this this morning...*scrambles to find names*

Find on Kessobahn.

Cheers, thanks for the fast reply!

[Path-Shaper]

Aye.
Well, everything's in except Gem's action.

[Path-Shaper]

For Ruse/ Baudin:

It seems the leader one of Rome’s most ancient and lauded houses is displeased with your recent activities. He has gone to great lengths to sabotage your plans and efforts, and wherever you go, people turn away from you. All your powers are negated during the coming day, and you are not allowed to vote on lynches.

For Silanah:

You stalk through the streets of Rome, two long daggers hidden under your cloak, following your target as he goes from one exclusive mansion to the next, accompanied by several torchbearers. While he himself seems to lose control over his legs a little more after each visit, his bodyguards stay ever vigilant, and you can't get to a shadow or alleymouth closeby enough for a dagger throw, let alone to cut his throat.

You did not kill last night.

For Liosan:

A bag of sestertii, enough to purchase his own freedom and that of his wife, were enough to make Rashan’s personal scribe, aslave, betray his master’s most recent dealings. Sadly, Rashan has not taken any actions yet, so there is nothing for you to learn from his account.

For Gamelon:

As you rise, you are greeted at breakfast by your wife, a rare enough occurance. All throughout the meal, she's prattling how she'd love to go see that new dressmaker that her niece Laetitia is going on about forever and ever. Clearly, her rendez vous last night was a success, and you'd better give her what she wants... There's little love in your marriage, but plenty of opportunism, and she learns secrets through her charm that you'd never even glean.

Kessobahn is a Republican.

For Korlat:

One of your servants informs you that several reliable sources mention that Kessobahn is a Republican. Otherwise, last night's politicking yielded no results worthy to mention; everything went according to plan.

For D'riss:

Sadly, your guest cancelled his appointment. You learn nothing you didn't know already.


For Emurlahn:

When you leave the Senate, you are approached by a slave in Brutus’ colours. With a bow, he presents you with a scroll, then turns and walks away rapidly. The whole exchange did not last more than ten seconds, and you are sure no-one else witnessed it. You walk home, and open it in your study.

“My friend,

You were brave enough to help me bring the tyrant down, yet now I see you hesitate and doubt the justice of our actions. You seem beset by guilt. Let me tell you, my friend: you did what was right. You stood up for Rome.

But sadly, Caesar’s demise – let me remind you, he was family of mine, and I mourn his passage daily – did not spell the end of our trials. Marc Anthony,the man who offered Caesar the crown of the King of Rome, now wants to rule alone. And behind him, Caesar’s nephew Octavian sharpens the dagger. These two are men of ambition, and this is not over until they are defeated.
The Pontifex seems paralyzed. I admire his will to compromise, but a compromise will still violate the safety of the Republic, for it will require that Marc Anthony will remain in command of the legions, which will make him as dangerous as he is now. I’d much rather see youin his stead: a man of honour and daring, with love for the Republic. Gaul is still not entirely pacified, it could use the justice and skill of a true Roman patrician like yourself.

Yours sincerely, Brutus.”

You are now a member of the Brutii.
Your contact within the faction is Omtose.

Ok first I am having ISP issues (again)
So its likely I won't be on for the next few hours

But right now I find it rather interesting that there were no deaths, besides the modkill of course.
I reckon though, there will definitely be a few tonight, as I reckon at least one other person must have a similar power to me at least

"contact" meaning I can talk to him off-thread? Or I just know he's Brutii too?

You just know him, no talking.

OK, good. Now let's go attack Dibs (assuming he isn't dead, I didn't check the thread)

Mockra-Gavin is happy with a sign of life:

During breakfast, you are approached by one of your scribes, who hands you a wax tablet that apparently has just arrived. The meaningless signs and childish drawings seemingly have no meaning, but you know this cypher... it is something only you and your inner circle of trusted followers use and know.

Hail Brutus from your loyal servant, I am immune to recruitment, will try to keep all 4 of us alive in the days to come. To reveal myself to you, my first day 2 post will have a "yawn" in it

Now thats an interesting little message. Guessing it might be Cassius, having similiar roled powers to Octavian. I look forward to him taking a lead and sitting back a little. No doubt my message about my recruitment result is still coming right?

Well, your PM says nothing about being notified of recruitment success or failure, so if you do receive a message about recruitment, it won't be from me. In the mean time, I do wish you best of luck with spotting yawning senators

[Path-Shaper]

more Jump Erlahn, quite disappointed that he can't charge against Dibs.

Quote

Well, interesting. I mean it when I say I think Silanah and Serc are Julii, but I might be wrong.

I believe Thyrllan is Julii, so he's a safe lynch, although I have the same hesitation I had when I was Republic.

Rashan remains the safest lynch for me today. If I was recruited, I doubt he was too. His insight on the Republic PM is flawless, now it IS possible his role allows him to read someone else's PM, and he used that to fake-reveal. A bit of a stretch, but to keep in mind. Problem is, with current votes on Silanah and Thyrlann, if I start to vote for him right now, even I will wonder if I'm not Julii.

Hmmm.

some peopel are so easily riled, poor silanah needs a good shovel in the face, might add a little spice to their cockhead ness.

getting migthy pissed off at this - i have a theory crap. why dont people just fucking say what they mean or shut the fuck up about it. cloak and daggers is so passe

1. high TDMI
2. cults & distribution is not known... you might piss of a majority of people who will just lynch you cause you wear the wrong badge
3. Different boards, different traditions.

oh i dont mind people playing close to their chest, it is when they say "i have a theory..." and dotn tell us it. its like, you fuicking prick, you think you know something and then wont say. as monkey.

like shadow yesterday - i know the teams are uneven, well yeah we can all count but he hints at soemthing else then doesnt say.

Blame me (P-S ) for this last part of your message.

Sir Korlat, called Ruminations.

I'm hoping if I convert all the low posters to my cause we can overpower the rest by weight of numbers!

The lack of NKs disturbed me - if anything I was expecting there to be too many given that everyone has powers. Either the blockers were incredibly lucky, or the killers didn't turn in their NAs .

And Tennes/Lisheo getting modkilled is really annoying - I hope he didn't have a really useful role that could potentially have won the game for us or something.

Oh, by the way, was that "Unexpected Bonus" PM delivered at the end of the day or at the end of the night? (ie. were you informing me that Kess was a Republican before or after Night Actions?)

Not going to bother trying to alt guess people, because last time I tried I got every single one wrong!


ST/Korlat

It is high TMDI, expect the unexpected, so, when you expect many kills, you get none
The bonus was sent at the end of the night, although I did also mesh into the message that your recruits didn't stumble on/over something I should technically warn you about, which you should officially receive at the end of the day. With you being gone for 15 hours, I reasoned timing wasn't of the essence in this case.

Does coming day include the night actions?
Also am i allowed to tell people i cant vote?

The 'coming day' only consists of day actions you can take.
Which are, I think, precisely 0

Yes, you are allowed to tell people. It is not in your role PM, it's someone elses effect. You might of course want to think twice about revealing this particular hindrance

[Path-Shaper]

Tried to hold off modkilling Gem, but couldn't hold it back after JA announced it on topic
I hope she's oki, bit worried as she was just 'poof' gone.

And that places me in a right fucking tight spot, cause the Brutii faction was very person-orientated and she was basically all by herself the secondary victory condition.

Bah.
Only solution I see is give her sleeping ability to Ment, but it's really out of character for the cowardly Casca to become an uberkiller

[Path-Shaper]

DiBs, seeing things from a mod-PoV:

Quote

i would recommend adding another day to your no reveals, it fucks me over but i think the game will be better for it. two modkills and that day finder mean starting tomorrow its going to almost be like day 1 except we will have a rash of actions etc.

I'll think really hard on it, and talk it through with Venge & Morgy. It may very well be for the best, as you say.
Damn. One modkill would have been manageable, I think, but this sucks... I've been PM-ing her since the start of the night phase on both alts.


----

Oki, so making another revealless day means that Rash-DiBs and Hood's Dude have to have their PMs changed.
Secondly, I'd give Kesso-Grief another use of Cicero's exposing ability.

I think DiBs may have a point, cause what would happen is that we have 16 people left (lynch of Thyr, kill by Lepidus, kill by Arcanus), 2 recruits, so 4 and 5 and 7 left for the various factions tomorrow when the revealfest starts... and the Republicans will have a majority to lynch unless all deaths are on their team and the other 2 teams recruit a Republican. They'd be able to lynch at will, and their mass of finders would ferret out the enemy soon enough.

What are your thoughts, Venge & Morgy?

Well that does suck. It puts the Brutii in a very hard place. What with MA having the force Brutus reveal power. The game is going along very well and even though it seems to be over balanced it hasn't been playing like it is. But as soon as Thryllan goes down expect MA to force Brutus out in the open. Sorry I know you know what the problem is I just like to write them out myself. Helps me see them.


I agree with Dibs we need to extend the time by a day, and give Cicero another shot. As for the Brutii they will probably end up being the deciding force in the game. Killers out for revenge.

Yeah. I know that it would be out of Casca's character but I am sure that mental will be able to make due. There has to be punishment for the killing of Brutus. The only way that can happen is if the Brutii get that full time killer who starts off with 2 kills. Other wise MA will be handed a huge victory with no punishment.

I made Thyr's suspect list along with Rash who he says he really doesn't think is MA, as well as Thyr. LOL! Oh had he only been serious! HA!

He's a good player, it would have been a great battle between the two of you had he not been revealed biggrin.gif

Would you mind sending him a message from "Marc Anthony?" Or would that be against the rules? Something along the lines of -


Dearest Octavion,

You were a worthy adversary, but alas, your reign of terror is coming to a close. Until next time, old friend.

Yours Truly,
Marc Anthony

Of course if you decide to do so I would ask that you wait for 2 or 3 hours, before you do so. Hee hee

Hmmm. Still no idea what's going on. I hope the humungous locked Julii theory of Shadow's is wrong, since Thyr looks like today's lynch. Oh well - at least I wont hit another republican.

Guess I was wrong about the Lisheo and Gem alt-guesses tongue.gif Hope they dont have any serious RL issues.
However complained in the middle of the night (Kas?) is Kurt and Shadow is obviously Ment. Figures, cos I normally end up agreeing with the stuff he says.

Ok, Ampelas is definitely not Republican, and possibly a leader.

He just made a comment about people getting their faction leader's name. Obviously, that makes him not in my faction. Have to remember this post in case it is useful later.

Also, note to self: Ampelas says things he shouldn't whenever he isn't spamming. Also useful to know.

Marcus Aemilius Lepidus – Julii
You are General Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, one of Caesar's commanders. At your disposal is the elite 7th Legion, now in control of the city. You support your dashing fellow general Marc Anthony, but should he expire, you will transfer your loyalty to Caesar's young heir, Octavianus. You are aware that these two will fight like rabid dogs over the control of your faction, and you have decided to take no sides.

Passive Power: You know who Marcus Anthonius is, and who Octavianus is. You may never vote for one or the other or reveal their identity. You cannot be recruited by other factions.
Marcus Anthonius = Fener
Octavian = Thyrllan

Night Power: you can Heal and Guard one of your leaders (Anthony or Octavian) against a single night action. If your target is targeted by multiple actions, the following precedent is set: Kill above Find, Find above Guard, Guard above Heal. Since your ability is both a Heal and a Guard, it means your target (Anthony or Octavian) cannot use their Night ability.

Night Power: you can decide to Night Kill a target player, but then you cannot use your Guard + Heal ability. You will lose both your Night Actions if you ever hit a member of the Julii faction with your Night Kill.

Heres a question Ive just thought of about my role. If I kill someone whose also been targetted for recruitment into the julii, do I lose my NAs?

Quote

I will pass it on

Vengeance

I am thinking that he kills the person keeps his kills but there is no recruitment for the Julii.
