So Karosis is still biggest target, as I know he's not my faction, though Ruse is another player I'd be willing to vote, due to those connections Atrah found to Karosis. However, I'm really thinking Sorrit is connected to Tennes. Until later, to put pressure on,

Vote Sorrit

Well then what is the point of even trying to lynch then? You might as well vote for night and force people to use night actions to off each other if they have them. There might needs to be a limit set on the number of times a player can use sacrosant on themselves else noone will get lynched. Or make it increasingly more expensive for each time you invoke it.



I largely agree with Sorrit here. Although is it the case that Sacrosanct needs to be made harder to achieve, or that we've simply been unlucky with the people we've picked? i.e. the people who would fall easily to night actions instead.

I would say that with plenty of worship for sale, bazaar access means you can Sacrosanct.
I will also reiterate that I do think that Sacrosanct is too cheap and having a way too heavy impact on the thread compared to its original purpose - I am considering further measures.

In this game or future games? I'm not it's biggest fan, but doing it this game might be controversial.



Edit: Changed full stop to question mark.

Can someone explain the use of the blank page? Is it one person transferring the money to someone they know?

Is a blank page an item? If not should it be allowed?

I also have Galain pegged that way as well. I do not know for certain though.

I am very willing to vote for Karosis but for now i'll add to your pressure of Sorrit.

Vote Sorrit

I think it's an item you need something else to explain. Like those black marble shavings that were around a few days ago. There's probably some other item or retainer that does something with them. ie maybe the blank page has invisible ink on it that two different players can reveal allowing them to send messages to each other.

Two days ago, I had to send Silenah into action against a local crime syndicate. Her spectacular resolution of the issue once again lead to an increase in the cults worshipping the Qadi as demi-gods. I am very careful with these outbursts of fervor - my Qadi are a fickle bunch, and while I hold a very tight leash on them, they think nothing of exploiting anything for their own good. This time, i decided to do nothing against the worshipping masses at the palace gates. The kneeling, praying crowd would remind visiting dignitaries of my power, and that is useful in a time like this.

The Khalif's Palace is now Sacrosanct.

And I see the CoVs have put out two alliance requests. Looks like this game is going get split in two pretty soon.

In a surprising turn of events, the Cult of Vultures reached out to the Khanates, offering an alliance. Less surprising, the Khan of Khans didn't dally and accepted the offer. Almost immediately, tumen began to maneuver, showing themselves to Nepeth regiments, while in the City itself, mages began showing up in courts and magical lights lit the sky.

The Khanates have accepted an alliance with the Cult of Vultures.

I wonder if we should take note of the fact that the Qadi features in this description - as in, it's a hint that the player who is the Qadi raised this sacrosanct? Although, I've just seen alliances by CoV have been posted, so it could be one of them too.

Interesting that the Sacrosanct went up so early. My guess is that this is not someone with votes on them - I think this is in reaction to Tapper saying he would not accept 'sacrosanct if I'm at L-3' types of provisionals. So someone thought they might be a target, but knew they wouldn't be around all day, so just set it up immediately.

My infiltrators have informed me that the Guild of Beggars has accepted a proposal of alliance of the Cult of Vultures, adding their numbers and skills to the emerging power block. It seems my Qadi value neutrality, as befitting a judge.

There is now an alliance between the Guild of Beggars and the Cult of Vultures.

Probably Karosis. Although with the lines drawn I don't know if he has as much to worry about for a lynch.

Now it's pretty much equal teams with the CoV,GoB, and Khanate force at a slight disadvantage with the qadi in the middle.

I don't think it was Karosis at all. My best wild guess is either you or Spite.
