I'm not okay with a speed lynch. The last day went by way too quickly as it is. Plus I just mentioned in a previous post that Karosis is damn near unlynchable probably.


Thats a dangerous assumption and I don't agree with just dismissing someone cause they were able to sacrosanct teice (If it was even him) He got robbed and raided 5 times yesterday (if he was telling the truth). There is no guaranteeing that he is as you claim. You come off as a teammate who is trying to push attention else where.


oops, Tellan was the one that was raided... disreagard that post. BUT, I still stand by the fact that considering anyone "near unlynchable" is a poor idea going forward. Tapper does a lot to balance these games. I feel like an unlynchable player would upset this balance.


Well I agree sometimes you have to force a lynch over and over and eventually you can get one through but how many times do you want to stick a square block into a round hole before it's too late to try something different. But like it looks like you people went for Spite. I haven't quite got that far so I'm not sure why yet.

So Spite just had 6000 dinari lying around that he could toss onto a bunch of worship?

Well damn I'm glad we made him spend it at least...

Not only that but someone had Spite's back and brought out the necessary amount of Worship at a price he could afford.

Did you people speed lynch another player while I wasn't around?

I got the same message, right after Dawn yesterday about Fener. I can't vote for him or use any actions against him without paying 3 worship. Hadn't seen that pop up anywhere else yet.

Think Spite was willing to lynch me. I'll return the favor.

Vote Spite

It was originally cause he was filthy low posting scum, but became cause he made it really obvious that he was lurking, and often it's power roles that lurk.

To that end, if he just had 6000 dinari laying around to buy up all that worship makes me think he was either trying to save up for something big or he makes a heck of a lot more money than I do. The other thing I find a little odd is just how quickly that transaction happened after the 6 worship was posted. I theorize that he has a lover connection, be it temporary or permanent, with someone. Fener seems the obvious choice, but it could be anyone.

That's downright crazy. 5 people now is it?

I can only imagine that is either a Qadi or a Djinn's power. In the last game, Tapper would anounce when a Djinn had been released if I remember correctly, though.

I cannot vote Fener unfortunately. I received something saying that unless I pay 3 Worship every day until the end of the game I cannot vote for him.




Were you going to say something regarding this quote Emurlahn?

So Fener is getting some heat because Ampleas claims that he can't vote for him and then Fener comes out of nowhere posts some crap and disapears and claims real life issues. I still don't see the case. This is like Tellan all over again where there is a build up of a few votes and then a runaway train is built. on no actual evidence. At least with Tellan we got some info out of the lynch train but I'm not seeing much return on the votes against Fener. It might be farther along. Still got a bunch of pages still to go and the little one will be up soon. We'll see how far I get.

Where's the assumption Spite bought enough Worship to Sancro coming from? Haven't seen anything in here yet about it and the purchase on the Norther Desert seemed to indicate Fener to me.

I'd like to note that all those dawn PMs came out after I accused Fener of possibly being Qadi. It could be an elaborate frame job, I won't discount it.

With the anticipated arrival of the Golden Standard's armies, a shaman of a local horse tribe raised a war standard, making the call for his tribe to gather and match their steel against the Khanates. Within weeks, thirty thousand warriors had gathered, and more were coming. Each of them received a blessing, and a religious fervor woke in the army. When two more tribes allied themselves and declared that their pantheon would join the struggle, all hell broke lose. The Nepeth told me they'd happily solve the issue - in exchange for loosening my laws when it came to them. The House of Iron forwarded a contract price. The Golden Standard sent me two gilded skulls, as a show of intent. In the meantime, the craze that spread through the tribes increased, and for a few short months, the Northern Desert was called The Holy Sands by anyone who had a thing for tribal mysticism.

The Northern Desert is Sacrosanct.



Oh!! Looks like someone who is feeling heat is trying and protect themselves. Hmmm I wonder who that could be? I didn' have to get very far before the lynch train on Fener started to pay dividends.

I wasn't told I couldn't say anything about it in the PM informing me.

Or use any actions? FIVE OF YOU?! I don't know if I can believe this anymore... this would make Fener ridiculously overpowered

Sigh. 6 Worship was bought very recently off the bazaar - way AFTER the sacro in the Northern Desert. So presumably it's Spite and presumably he's sacro'd somewhere else.

Me Grimlock say we need new strategy.

I think it's time for us to stop switching targets. Only concerted, repeated pressure on someone, as PS has strongly hinted a couple of posts ago, will get the lynch (eventually) done.



So who do you want to make an example of?

We mostly concluded the Northern Desert was Fener. Spite buying the worship on the bazaar and presumably using it was pretty recent so PS hasn't been online since. We'll probably get a "[location] is sacrosanct" just before the lynch when he comes back and resolves.

Ah. The Mod-delay. I hadn't considered that factor.
