It seems to me, at this point, that it wouldn't make any sense for anyone besides the Nepeth/HoA/Night Prophet alliance to vote for me. Yes, Khanate, GoB, and CoV are not currently allied, but given that the other three factions (I'm excluding Qadi here, I know) are allied, it doesn't make sense to try to kill someone from a potential ally. I still stand by my initial thought, which is to try to lynch Tennes. At this point, however, I would be happy to see a Tulas lynch too. Both seem pretty obviously connected to Tellan somehow. Tennes because of his refusal to vote for Tellan on Day 2, and Tulas for his out and out vendetta case against me after I revealed, and his harsh protection of Tennes to boot. It's true, it's possible that either or both of them are on the Sacrosanct square, but we can't assume that. If you guys want to waste another lynch on me, go for it, but I highly recommend that we get our ducks in line and try to lynch someone from the allied groups.



Assumptions make asses out of everyone. Just because we know that Tellan in on Nepath Empire doesn't mean we know what faction he's in. What if you are right that Tennes is linked to Tellan but you are wrong about what faction they are in. See what I'm getting at. You could be thinking that you are "helping" your faction but in reality you could be hurting it.

Have a good night phase everyone, hopefully I'll see ya tomorrow! ^_^


Have you said where you to the LP from? (Ability, item, etc?)
If not I'd bet you're Atif and you can't die because you have a Mahesh Honor guard.

As we talk about who to lynch, going forward, I think we need to keep this in mind. I ran across this while going through the rules for the 80th time. (underlined is mine)

All players of that faction can then respond to Path-Shaper. Once a majority of the faction (50% +1 of its players) agrees, the alliance is sealed and confirmed during the dusk phase. Alliance proposals can be maintained as long as the player who proposed it, is still alive. He can also withdraw the offer (but this does not repay him the cost of proposing the action).
If the accepting party was already part of an alliance with a faction that is anathema to the newly allied party, the old alliance is broken.




So while there is an alliance of 3 now, with the right lynch, it might all fall apart. The question is, If Tellan is in the Nepeth empire square currently, would he have been able to get to the Kalif and back to make the proposal? Probably not. Meaning Tellan isn't the one proposing the alliances. Also, if the HoA had the same person suggest both alliances, if the right/wrong person gets lynched. All alliances in that string will be broken. Just some food for thought going forward.

Regarding who to lynch, I would like to get one, regardless, well before day times out. If we keep on as is, the timers for me don't mesh very well and I would like to stir them up a bit to better coincide with my posting times. So I am open to anyone. Especially as it looks like a lynch will mean no death.


It's alliance proposals is how I read it meaning that some can propose an alliance and as long as they are still alive the proposal remains but if they die before the alliance has been accepted then the proposal dies with them.

Days are 36 hours though and thanksgiving really only extends the weekend by 24h and just for the yanks so if we time it right I don't think we really need to change much of anything. Maybe just start the weekend timer freeze mid-friday instead of late-friday?


American Thanksgiving is on Thursday, not Friday.



Yeah but for some of us it's really an extended weekend as most of us have Friday off as well.

I got curious about whether Karosis was LP if he actually is due to a tile ability, a role ability, or a retainer or item. Since he revealed as GoB, I looked back at the GoB role PMs from earlier games, and found that the Mahesh Honor Guard (a retainer only available to Atif) would be destroyed instead of stiff if he would have been killed or lynched.

Okay so Karosis has been officially lynched. I was thinking we would have more talk before we went ahead and dropped the hammer but since it has already been decided.

Vote Karoisis

Just in case he requires more votes than normal.

It is Day 3. 18 hours and 26 minutes remaining

16 Players still alive: Ampelas, Anomandaris, Atrahal, Emurlahn, Fener, Galain, Karosis, Olar Ethil, Ruse, Silanah, Sorrit, Spite, Telas, Tellan, Tennes, Tulas Shorn

9 votes to lynch, 8 votes to go to night.

1 Vote for Tennes ( Karosis )
9 Votes for Karosis ( Ampelas, Tulas Shorn, Telas, Spite, Emurlahn, Olar Ethil, Atrahal, Ruse, Galain )

Players not voted: Anomandaris, Fener, Silanah, Sorrit, Tellan, Tennes

Sometimes, mortals astound me. The Red Inquisition has been assisting Silenah in rolling up a smuggling network. Her being the Qadi of Sweet Corruption, I more or less expected her to try and reorganize the gangs into a more efficient, more criminal organization under her own control. Instead, the fools gathered for one last banquet, where they all committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine, apart from their leader, who ran. It might be that he poisoned them himself, it might be that they did it voluntarily - but they all died where they sat, bloated purple faces with black tongues lolling, too swollen to be contained by their slack jaws. I can't believe there wasn;t one of them who didn't drink it, or one who tried to vomit the contents of his stomach up when his fellows started dying. Silenah is in an extremely bad mood. She plans to score the desert with the Blood Guard, to send Inquisitors to Ishktar, the City Guard to comb out the Quarter of the Coin and the Palace Guard to force their way into the Mahesh Quarter. For a moment, I was tempted to allow her, but I know what kind of damage she can do when let loose. Instead, I went to see the man held under house arrest. I really wonder how he managed all he did, just a single man. He has paid for the crime of stirring up revolution and I looked into his soul and found more crimes there, but he can serve me still, in one capacity or another.

So is that in effect for this day/night cycle, or the upcoming day/night cycle?


If it's for this cycle, that could have some huge ramifications on what people are trying to do tonight.. Very interesting.

Day 3. It was an actual cross-post with the end-of-day message.

That Poison the Wells title is some powerful stuff. Quests definitely seemed to be themed towards/intended for certain factions.
