It's too damn predictable what was going to happen. People would hmm and haw over what to do and I'd sit there with votes and be the choice at the end of the day for bullshit reasons. I've been waiting for this game a long time. I'd do pretty much anything to stay in it.

You have pretty much made a huge target of yourself, though. Hope you have more ways to make yourself lynchproof, I expect we'll be coming after you hard now.

I find it amusing you think you have an idea of who I am because you think you know where I am. Honest to gods people do you think Tapper put every faction onto the same tile to start the game? Maybe.

I wouldn't be fucking about if I thought I was legitimately lynched and should shut up.

If you are LP or sacrosanct then its a chance to survive, not to dig a bigger hole and secure your lynch for tomorrow.

Personally, I like the fact that Tellan is still alive. gives us more chances to get info about factions. Though a CF woulda been nice...
The fact that he came up with 8 worship rather quickly is a bit telling.

Sacrosanct (6 worship)
Until the end of the phase, people on this tile can't be lynched.

Wasn't there a bunch of Worship selling for pretty cheap on the Bazaar?

CF? If Tellan isn't lynched, there IS no CF. Correct? Or did I miss another update from P-S somewhere? Anyway, I don't like how confident Anomander is acting about things like this, especially after spending the majority of the game so far barely even posting. Only the Spam-O-Meter brought him out of hiding...

I am here. I am horribly drunk. I have seen your Q&A PMs and answered those, but action PMs I haven't touched - not good in this state.
Right now, I will just resolve the lynch. All action resolutions will have to wait until tomorrow - I am simply too shitfaced to do them now. You may boo me.
It was very late in september when the first news of the fall of a great man reached me. The identity of the person changed with every single story: some say he was Nepeth Pharaoh, others mentioned the death of the Khan of Khans, and Tokar ibn Delat informed me, in a splendidly gilded scroll, that he had been eaten by a crocodile according to rumours in the bazaar - he was good enough to deliver the message himself. That young man has a lightning wit. It might save or kill him.
A quick scrying confirmed that everyone of notice was still alive, and that those who claimed responsibility for the death of this person or that were exaggerating and boasting. Half of Madeena was busy claiming the death of the other half, and the courts were busy settling inheritance claims for people who were actually still alive and turned up at court. Families divided, and more than one family suffered bereavement through the poisoning of siblings.
I was displeased with the eagerness and behavior of the citizens, especially those who called themselves the nobility, the leaders. Is greed ever a recommendable trait? An example was made, several times. Still, the city proved to be more willing to believe rumors and lies than my own words and the truth, and I felt my grip was slipping.
No one is dead.

And with that, I am off to bed.
BTW, over the weekend, the thread and the bazaar will stay open. There will be no mod-kill timer and there will be no timer on the length of the day, but I will occassionally check in and progress the game.

So, just to be clear, you were targetted by an action that silenced you? Were you given any flavor text or anything?
Also, so what is going on for day 3. Is everyone just going to try to lynch Tellan again, since we wasted the Day 2 lynch?

I was told that I was silenced for the phase and that I could get out of it by answering one of three provided questions truthfully. But fuck that I am not giving my silencer anything so I stuck it out.

That is odd. I wonder what Faction that comes from? Sounds like it could be a political action of some sort. What were the questions?
