To clarify, I don't think it was Karosis because Karosis insinuated that they had to purchase 6 Worship yesterday and do a Sacrosanct then. As a GoB member, I don't think obtaining worship is as easy or fast for Karosis as it is for some others.

The Houses of Agreement, clearly wishing to provoke a war between the Khanates and the Nepeth, leased a regiment of Mamluks to the Nepeth - for a symbolic sum of 1 dinari. It set forth from its barracks, trying to occupy a grazing ground. It returned three weeks later: a thousand horses, each with an arrow-studded corpse tied to the saddle, saddlebag on the one side filled with the decapitated head, the other stuffed with the weaker parts of the warrior's anatomy. At its head was a single, aging Khanate rider, playing a flute.
The procession made its way unto the Square of Camels, where the rider halted. After performing a quick victory sacrifice by cutting the throat of a goat in sacrifice to The Rider, he left, leaving his grisly train. The burials were quick and quiet, apart from the jeers and jibes from the crowd, probably incited by the Beggar's Guild.
The Square of Camels is now Sacrosanct.

Only someone with this much power could make this many frittatas without breaking any eggs.

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.

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.
Probably Karosis. Although with the lines drawn I don't know if he has as much to worry about for a lynch.
I don't think it was Karosis at all. My best wild guess is either you or Spite.
Or Emurlahn oOOOoooooo

Looks like nothing has changed other than the square being the new mirror and the palace being the new desert

Do you think PS is going to run out of Sacrosanct scene-setters any time soon?

Well the kicker is that it could be anyone of us. Or I could be somewhere completely different and a totaly lynch target.

Perhaps it is time for you to choose other targets.

Hmph. I thought for sure that two 3-way alliances being made would be a trigger for a new quest opening up. Shows what I know...
So who gets the prize for loneliest character? The Qadi or the person (people?) who was in the Nepeth Barracks with no neighbours anymore?

Oh, I forgot this.
Remove Vote
Because situations change.
The choices I see now are: Fener, because he's likeliest to be the Qadi. Silanah/Galain/Olar Ethil/Spite, because I have almost no read on them and/or they hardly post; Sorrit because he has some votes already.

I would still like to lynch Fener, as I think he is still one of the more dangerous players. And with him constantly proclaiming that we got everything about him wrong, I think he might have been not in one of the hadjs.
vote Fener
