Vote Serc

His defense right now is to stay silent. How does that help us? The thread is dead and I don't even know if anyone else is around to make the lynch happen. We need to lynch, we don't know what will happen at night.

[Liosan]

Ok, I'm here.

I was interested to read the path of people's thoughts that led people to Serc being potentially Nepeth. I can understand the thought progression, but unless I'm mistaken it comes out of my notice of the snazzy armor comment, which in itself is kind of a flimsy base. Then he doesn't help himself with this seeming reluctance to lynch. I find myself agreeing with Serc's post about Galain's somewhat lazy-don't-rock-the-boat-pick-up-the-likely-lynch vote.

That being said, whether a Serc lynch is heavy on information or not we need a day 1 lynch and it seems we should be able to get it. He could be Nepeth, and odds are he's not of my faction so I will be fine with being the next vote, or the hammer.

[Liosan]

Aaaaaand, cross post.

@Sukul

Reveals are strictly forbidden in this game, so I'm not sure what he would say at this point. I wish he had voted someone earlier on in the day, since taht could have perhaps yielded something more information-wise.

[Serc]

I fail to see what I can add to my defense, besides saying that I still believe a day 1 lynch was not the best idea in this game, and that those who voted for me often massively twisted that simple concept to add things I never said or meant.

As for who I would propose instead of myself, it would be Omtose or Galain, for the reasons I said earlier.

Do you take the opposite stance of Omtose then, that you think the game will be (and/or should be) decided by night actions? Because that's kinda what it sounds like when I combine this post and the re-read of your 'no-lynch' post that got people suspicious of you.

I can't reveal, but I can do the next best thing.

For the record, I didn't plan this, but seeing how things went, I have to make do. There's a bit of time left, but I have to go, and I'm not going through another day like this. I prefer not to miss the lynch, this way is better for us all game-wise (and no, I'm not turning emo):


vote Serc.

Well from his posts it seems that he is a roled player but not Nepeth. That is how it seems.

There is no option other than him though to look at and he didn't provide one either which is a shame. We get information from the lynch but we also get to see who he implicates with his final thoughts. Instead of this he has disappeared. If we don't lynch then we are going into day two blind but may still have another non Nepeth player alive. If we do lynch then we get the info from the lynch train. We also have a possibility of hitting a Nepeth.

You dumbass, I could've hammered. And I was just about to ask you another question.

FFS.

[Liosan]

Sorry, crosspost with Sukul, that was at Serc.

[Path-Shaper]

That's a lynch. Dusk is now under way. Please send in your Night Actions as I will go to Night resolution straight from battle and dusk.

[Path-Shaper]

Abdul al-Adil, the Collector of Fables, did elect to show up for his second audience. He even brought paper and a brush. A courtesy to me, I think, if I recall yesterday’s glazed-over look in his eyes whenever it addressed matters of background.

I sit down, a cup of raki within reach. Abdul folds his legs, spreads his paper. “When we left yesterday, I mentioned Tarkin the Bitter-Hearted.”

“Yes,” he says. He is a careful man.

“I am sure you have questions on the subject of the Qadi,” I reply, goading him to steer the discussion.

“I hear he died shortly after his arrival, without accomplishing much.”

“My dear Abdul,” – he flinches – “Qadi do not die. But it seems we must start our discussion of the events taking place in the first days of the war with a bit more background.”

I take a sip. “Tarkin arrived in Ishktar on the day of the invasion. Unfortunately, the local elite were not too impressed with him, mostly due to his manner of conduct – he is the Qadi of Loathing, after all - and they refused to co-operate. Since Tarkin is not a man who takes refusal very well, the discussion took a volatile turn. I think you can imagine how the average merchant reacts when he is asked to turn his merchandise and funds towards war-making, without much recompensation.
When the elite of Ishktar was less than forthcoming, events spiraled out of control and the Qadi was beset by an angry mob, lead by a slaver of House Meshkir, going by the name of Omar ibn Deshmar. Tarkin obliterated most of them, including the merchant, but was finally overtaken, dismembered, his remains burnt, contained in several pots, and in an act of defiance, his pickled head was sent to me. The jar and the head are available for your inspection, if you wish. It was a rather fetching jar, I think.”

“Khalif, doesn’t that mean that he is dead, and accomplished little?”

“His further exploits are perhaps for another day, but to a Qadi, being torn apart and cremated is merely a minor setback. I’m confident he has grown a new head, too. I will concede that the time required to restore himself was unfortunate with regard to his war effort, however.”

Another sip. “I think that is enough about the Qadi, for now. The Nepeth were first spotted by a Black Stallion scout, sent by the Khan-of-Khans to monitor the White Foal war-effort. It is hard to catch a Khanate rider when he does not want to be caught, but apparently he was caught between two armies. Later that day, an orphanage was laid waste to, leaving no survivors. The Nepeth certainly made their presence and their strength at arms known, and panic spread throughout the Southern Sands.”

I will take a short break, my dear Abdul, but I will be back later. I am sure you will want to scribble something down on that scroll of yours. It is still remarkably pristine.”


Serc (JA) is dead. He is Tarkin the Bitter-Hearted, Qadi of Loathing.
Kaschan (twelve) is dead. He was Omar ibn Deshmar, Caravan-Leader of the Houses of Agreement.
Telas (HD) is dead. He was Shenoshka, Outrider of the Black Stallion Clan of the Khanate
Eloth (Khellendros) is dead. He was the Orphan of the Desert, of the Night Prophet faction.

I'll get to sending you all the administration on purchases, production et cetera in the next two/three hours, as well as resolving night.

We lynched JA

ha ha

Sorry JA!!

All those deaths in one night! Then there were ten. In fact it isn't even night yet it? This could be over by Friday at this rate. I am surprised at that outcome

[Sukul Ankhadu]

And

Looking at the deaths that is 5 factions so far.

[Liosan]

Sukul, night isn't even resolved yet. I'm guessing that those deaths (other than Serc's) were battle results.

I would read it very carefully again for a few times, there are some hints

So this compensates for Kaschan's demise.

The Nepeth killed Telas who was a finder? He didn't get a chance to report his findings?
