Oh, incidentally, I will say it right now, I AM Guild of Beggars. I invite all my guild pals to vote me so as not to give yourselves away. A lynch will not be successful against me.

"Khalif, there is a man here claiming he belongs to the Guild of Beggars!"
"I assume he has been apprehended?"
"He is currently under interrogation in the cellars, my Khalif."
"Don't be too hard on him. Habbas!"
My champion arrived, a slab of muscle, as dependent as a stone. "My Khalif?"
"Lead the guard out into the city. Escort the miscreant in the dungeons home, see he arrives there safely and place him under guard. No-one goes in, or out. You stay with him, if he does so much as move, kill him. Send the city guards to every cross-road. Round up everyone claiming allegiance to one faction or another. This city will NOT become a battleground. Make clear that harsher penalties await those who copy this foolishness."
Karosis is guarded until the end of the day/night cycle.
Well that sucks. You didn't say we'd be punished for revealing, only that you didn't like it.

Eh, I never said I was sure Tennes is sitting on the Nepeth Empire tile, just a hunch, or a possiblity if you will. You can go ahead and waste a lynch, but you're gonna get more info out of an attempted Tennes lynch. All you'll get from me is what I've already given you. I'm GoB, and your lynch won't work.
Do you want me to quote the post again? You said "I think we should either lynch Emu today or try lynching Tennes, who I think is probably linked to Tellan, to see if he's sitting on the Nepeth tile or not."
You very clearly state that you want to lynch Tennes to see if he's on the Nepeth Empire tile....which is Sacrosanct. You were already willing to waste a lynch, and now you're telling us not to vote you because it will...waste a lynch?
Please try to fight your way out of this wet paper bag while I watch in amusement.

I think we may find out a bit more information from a Karosis lynch. He is saying he is not of the alliance. He is targeting what he believes to be the Nepeth faction. I think Karosis is of the Guild of Beggers. On this basis
Vote Karosis
If I am right it will be interesting to see who votes for him and who doesn't.

Heh, another Nepeth/HoA huh? That's what, Tellan, Tennes, Ampelas now? Though I'll admit Ampelas voted for Tellan yesterday, he very much left it to last minute. It could mean that he's NOT of those alliances, but it could also mean that he knew Tellan was on the Sacrosanct ground, so his vote wouldn't matter.
Last minute? 3 hours before timeout?
If I'm not mistaken, Day times out when there are enough votes to lynch. If I am not mistaken, you were the hammer vote. If it wasn't you, it was Tulas Shorn.
I was vote 10 out of 9 required. Ruse and I both thought that laying extra votes down to see if that affected anything would be useful.
You keep talking like you know what happened during yesterday's lynch but you consistently get the facts wrong. Panic much?

Whatever you say. Anyway, like I said, you'll still get more information from a Tennes lynch than a lynch on me. I've already given you what information you may get from a lynch of me, but at least with a Tennes lynch there's a possibility that he's NOT on Sacrosanct ground, and even if he is, it would give us confirmation that he is, in fact, working for/with Tellan, which, imho, is already pretty obvious, but hey, you guys don't seem to see it.

You really have a hard on for Tennes. Obsess much? Now you're switching your reasons for voting him - first it was to see if he was on the Nepeth Empire tile; now you're saying if that reason isn't good enough, well, maybe he's NOT on the Nepeth Empire tile and we'll get a lynch! If it's so obvious that he's allied with Tellan, what would be the point in voting for him? Wouldn't it be better to get a useful CF rather than taking a chance that we MIGHT get a CF that confirm suspicions "we" already have?
Did you skip Logic in school or something? I think maybe you just want someone lynched besides you, and for some reason that person is Tennes.

If Karosis is GoB and hates Tennes so much. And if Tennes is linked to Tellan who is Nepeth... does that make Tennes HoA?

This would make sense if I had voted for Tennes after revealing. which I didn't. I don't care if the vote goes elsewhere, I just think he is not my faction so it's a safe vote for me as he is likely not MY faction.

Money. Money buys everything, they say. Even death. The various assassins chapters try to make this a truth, but the Night Prophet actually succeeds. The Nepeth had their steel bought by the Houses of Agreement, and now, they managed to find a weak chink in the impenatrable armour of righteousness and religious fervor that surrounds the Prophet. That chink? Money, of course. With the other factions hopelessly divided, bickering and taking to the streets, making wild claims about conspiracies, the alliance of gold, steel and daggers was formed, trying to operate in unison.
The Night Prophet has accepted an alliance with the Houses of Agreement and the Nepeth.

The Nepeth Empire is suffering under draught, it is what is causing this mess I find myself in. For over a year, everyone in the Empire has been praying for rain.
Today, when the march of nearly half a million people of one their metropolises is under way, that wish is granted. The rivers flood, the peasants can't believe their eyes, and man and animal alike feasts on the fresh riverwater. The crocodiles feast, as well, but who cares?
A Prayer for Rain has been activated on the Nepeth Empire.
Until the end of the day/night cycle, Farms and Plantations produce twice the normal amount of goods.
