Puzzle solving is bad enough. In this game, the pieces are not only not in the box, apparently it's an exclusive puzzle and only shipped with one piece per box. And they were all delivered to wrong addresses.



Brilliant. Rep for you :twoguns:


Thank you, thankyouvermuch

Okay we have a partial explaination to this post but does this have anything else to this? Seems very ambiguous. Also there seems to be a lot of sharing going on the thread right now. I'm not used to such carefree attitudes going on thread. Have we all been drinking the happy juice?

I'm back and it looks like we speedlynched spite now? Or spite got a sacro off.

Hmm. Gotta wait for P-S to resolve I guess.

I just took another look at the PM I got ref: Fener. Knowing that 4 others have gotten it the way it is worded could leave room that it's something he has to pay upkeep on and if he doesn't a rescinding message could be sent. Maybe. Or that could just me hoping that the wording allows that.

Wait, so it extends past just this day/night cycle? That sounds absurdly broken.

Hmm. That sounds to me like possibly the start of someone's ability - a first-stage targetting?


A Duel a la slapping someone with a glove?


Interesting. Wouldn't Ano been informed if they are being challenged to a duel. I need to reread the duel rules but I didn't think there was this much forwarding if there is a duel challenge made.

And since you are here and there are mechanisms that increase the vote count needed, why don't you drop one on Spite.

Because that seems the course of action most likely to get the requisite number of votes for a lynch right now.


Voting Tellan would be just as likely to get 'the requisite number of votes for a lynch' as voting for me does.

No worries though, I'll simply note that someone bought 6 worship real fast on the bazaar this morning.



So you are trying to scare off people from voting for you on the off chance you will become lynch proof today. Ha ha ha. Great play. Infer that you were the one to buy it on the off chance people actually buy it. Love it.

does this mean Fener might be able to cockblock more people as every day passes? This could be problematic...

Yeah, lasts till end of the game, I was pretty blown away too. It could be something like the final Qadi ability or some shit like that because of how powerful it is and how long it lasts. Since he is a Mage, if we all decided to pay him the cost, he'd be rolling in 15 Worship per dawn that he can instantly convert to 15 Magic - and if he has A Place of Worship active, that's 30 MAGIC. WTF. That is insane. Either we're being played or Fener is probably the most powerful Mage in the game.

"Qadi are mages, meaning that like the Cult of Vultures, they are Scroll users and summoners (although they rely less on Djinn) with an economy that is geared towards Magic and Worship. Unlike the Cult, their action set is substantially different. Their actions are generally costly but high powered, and the defining characteristic of each Qadi is their immortality. "

Yeah, it seems like Qadi to me. But in that case we can't even lynch him successfully...has to be via NAs, right? Or lynching him weakens him enough that NAs can kill him feasibly.

Meh I don't care much about his location. If he is indeed a thief he probably doesn't mind moving around much (as opposed to say the Khans who probably want to camp out on the horse plains as much as possible) and so getting him to reveal his location won't do much good. I'd rather learn more from someone else so with that in mind.

because he hasn't done a damn thing on-thread all game as far as I'm concerned and as such is a complete cypher.

Plus he's a filthy low-poster.



Seriously?! This is how the train on Spite gets started? A low poster hunt?! There must be more to the train than simply going after a low poster.

Yeah. But Fener's reaction makes Spite spicy. And the six worship on the bazaar adds further.

Just got back, trying to get my head round everything. My first thought is that as it doesnt look like Telann is currently sacrosanct he may be a good idea.

This whole thing with fener is very worrying and if it didnt look like he's probably sacrosancted himself i would say that he was probably the best choice, although the suspicious side of me is still wondering if this isnt some elaborate scheme by one faction to try and steer the lynch.

Atm Im very much in favour of lynching Telann or Emurlahn as it looks like they are probably in the big alliance.

Vote telann

but obviously i will be happy to change to anyone i feel might be in that block of factions


This has got to be the stupidest "I'm just suddenly arriving as people start to talk/vote me but I totally wasn't lurking and look here's some content I'm so reasonable" post I've ever seen.


Okay so I see where this thing starts to take off. Though a few other people have been accused of lurking and "suddenly" start posting when they are starting to get some heat. I'm interested in seeing where this thing leads.

11 would be very unlikely, as thats abotu 7 in the morning. I occasionally get up that early but not very often, and yes i do often post before work as well as after. Your point?


My point is you presumably just lurk every day at this time and never join the thread because you are a role with great actions and either can't be bothered to partake in the game thread or are afraid of being lynched. I put a teeny bit of pressure on you today because your low-posting has lead to there being 0 information about you on-thread and it brought you out of the lurk and into the thread in a poorly put together attempt to appear like you aren't a low-posting lurker.



So your case on Spite is that he's a lurker? In a faction game where everyone has been overly cautious not to lynch their own teammates and you are driving a lynch on Spite for being a lurker? Seems to me that you got some information regarding Spite that you aren't willing to share and are just using the excuse that she is a lurker so you know this is a safe lynch for you? If we actually get a CF I'd feel safe to say that you are in fact not of the same faction as Spite. Seems awfully suspect reason if you ask me.

Lets see what the next few pages bring.
