I don't give a fuck about Tellan, but it seems like there is some serious off thread comm going on. That seemed incredibly orchestrated.

If Karosis is likely to have put up a Sacrosanct, why do people vote for him? Seems like a waste to me.


Are you reading the thread?


Voting someone to get him to activate Sacro makes sense, but keeping voting for them after it is activated does not.


And many people suspect that Karosis did NOT in fact put up the Sacrosanct but is trying to claim it to avoid a lynch. Read thread much?


Yeah, Karosis did not sacro on that lynch.

Tax Collector. From my notes
Goes live 4:59 am
5:04 Galain fp
5:08 am. Bey of RtI and SoC slaver camp 9 minutes after game went live. Pre-existing action PMs
5:51 am. Tax Collector I assume that is an action, so Galain, spite, or Atrahal

If you were gonna perform an action that'd piss off everyone else in the game, why would you publicly check in right around the time it's announced by P-S?

Then why are attacking me?
Is it not because of the fact that I... posted a little after Tax-Collector collected?



No, I'm attacking you because of the gross over-reaction you had after the tax collector collected for the 6th time, at the same, predictable time and method he's been collecting taxes all game.


Silanah, you've made a lot of posts since the idea of lynching the tax collector resurfaced. Shakespeare, protesteth too much, etc?


Telas said something suspicious that made me suspected him. I pushed and you can see how he reacted to just 2-3 votes.

That being said, the people that were insistent on the Karosis lynch looked suspicious for their pig headedness in not believing that he was the one that threw up sacrosanct.

Here.
Yes, I was lurking,waiting to see whether this stupidity will wear off if i ignore it.
Seems not.
As I like to live:

Vote Karosis




I really don't understand why would i out myself like that on thread if I was the tax collector.But I can see myself wanting to buy an upgrade or a retainer at the start of the day maybe,and the fucking tax collector interrupting.


Except you know by now that death and taxes are the only inevitable things in life. There's no way you wouldn't have expected the tax collector to collect, and the way you reacted after he (you) has been on our balls all game sets off my bullshit detector.

Well that's bullshit.
It maybe an ability that has a cost,it maybe an ability that is only for the first X days of the game,I may have used an upgrade I hoped would stop him from getting my taxes.
And I could have hoped that with an empty treasury and money that comes in at the start of the day,he wouldn't get my money.
Your logic is faulty.You are just trying to incriminate someone else for a reason that the thread does not know.
It's the best way to attack someone this game...really!
Look guys!He looks like the tax collector!Lynch him before he gets away!
Also, you may want to consider the fact that the tax collector,even if he started with an empty treasury in the day,would most probably(if a small number of people had empty treasuries) buy enough worship to throw up a Sacro.




Dude you reacted like someone had punched you in the dick when the tax collector came by as per usual and took his 500 dinari. And it's resolved at dawn every single day, so you certainly can't suggest you got the timing off unless you're woefully incompetent.





*Scratches head*
Where was it written that the action resolves at dawn each day?
I can't remember the part about the dawn,about it being each day and about it being automatic.
And,as I said.I got a little money AFTER dawn and I had to give it to Tax-collector.
thus the anger.
Also,punches that really hurt are in the nuts not the dick.


The tax collector has always collected shortly after dawn / day is resolved. I assumed it's dawn since it's instant but it could just as easily be the start of day--true enough, regardless of how technical a distinction that would be. But my point still stands, you'd have to be retarded to have not expected the tax collection. If you got a little money AFTER dawn, does that mean you expected the tax collector to collect at dawn???

I think you just contradicted yourself ya hypocrite.

Oh God.
Where in all seven hells did i say he doesn't collect at dawn?
I just commented on the fact that you seem to have a lot of info on how the mechanic works.(whether they are assumptions or not I dunno.)

I skimmed a bit on the last 2 pages cause you guys kept posting quicker than I could read at work here. (using my lunch break for mafia today :p ) But is Telas is the supposed tax collector, as silanah says, and we are voteing the supposed tax collector, why is everyone voting Tellan?

throw up a Sacro?
Panic?
No,I came and tried to save my ass from the exact same thing that is now happening to Tellan.
Mass switch over a short period of time.
And I did not merely get 2-3 votes.I got them in space of 10 minutes.
a little alarming don't ya think?

We know Tellan is fairly powerful due to the mass sacrosanct stuff earlier, and it didn't look like Karosis would get lynched. If everyone swaps to him before he can sacrosanct then we'll have a successful lynch with a CF.

I thought this Silanah-telas tax collection feud was more of a sideshow completely irrelevant to why we were voting karosis/fener/atrahal/tellan?

I think it was fairly apparent you weren't about to be speedlynched, though obviously you probably felt differently.

More importantly I find your explanation for the reaction rather wanting.

I dunno...
maybe because Silanah is stupidly trying to attack me?
I mean come on.he has been contradicting himself.
"it looks like Telas is the tax collector and is gloating at us just after the P-S tax collector post!"
"why would you use such an annoying ability and post after it?"

Karosis did not use a sacro the first lynch, but survived. Has revealed GoB status. GoB has a faction specific building that is only useable once per game. However, the character Atif has a retainer that is killed on a lynch. That retainer can be recruited again the next day.

That is why I want the Karosis vote.

I think the sacro on the mirror is Fener.

So the Tellan thing is just to try to get a lynch before sacrosanct can go up. Got it.

Telas/Silanah is a side show engineered by Ruse who is actually playing both alts. understood. It all makes sense now
