Regarding the people taking a look at me *shrugs* it is what it is. Yeah I got very pissed off with anomandaris and goul when they couldn't grasp pretty simple, explicitly stated, concepts. I have not been trying to "lead" the thread, just putting my theories out there to see what people think, and so far they have generally agreed with them. As soon as someone comes up with a better idea of what to do going forward I will not hesitate to accept it, but at the moment not a lot of people are putting other suggestions or ideas on the thread. So what else do you want me to do? I'm trying to be active in searching for, and screwing up the plans of, scum. If you have a better way, please tell me what it is and I will take a look at it and see if I agree with it.






Voting random people isn't a 'good method to screw up scum'.

Also, telling the enemy the best way to fuck with town before they are clearly doing it (ie, it might not have come to them) isn't a 'good method of screwing up scum'.

I've already figured out the two shields and am not voting a town. But yes, I clearly 'don't get it'.

IMO those cases on Tennes and Merrid are seriously weak. But then with the amount of stuff to actually go on today it's better than random I suppose, and I am not at all attached to my vote on Ultama. If we can get enough to to get the lynch I would be happy to go for it.

Remove Vote

I will be from now until EOD so let's see if we can do it, anomandaris you want to go for tennes or merrid first?

Tennes has 2 people and I'm around to switch either way.

If we can't swing this, we absolutely have to lynch Ultama. We can't go to night without a lynch today, or it's just the same bullshit tomorrow.

4.




If Prazec switches we have 5. Hopefully we get 2 more people around to switch/vote.




Also, note that Merrid is around but will not switch his vote.

I'm undecided. I have stated that I wont vote for Tennes and I really don't think a lynch there has any merit today. If it comes down to the last 10min and we're at L-1 I will indeed switch because lynch > no lynch.

Okay first two things that spring to mind;

I don't see the hesitancy to vote another player. The lynch is the main tool we have to root out the shields. So no one should be safe from a lynch especially by another player.

This makes me want to vote for Tennes.

The next is the use of the term shield. I looked in the OP and there is nothing to suggest that Bendal's bodyguards are known as or called "shield". So I looked at the first place the term was used as a reference to Bendal's bodyguards (I originally called them guards, until I saw Ano call them a shield)

Silly Batiatus. All this time spent watching your slaves and trying to drum up business. Keeps you up late doesn't it? Worry does that to a man especially a slaver.

I bet you're so busy you haven't even noticed that your wife and both daughters are preggers. Posted Image

Gladiators gather. This Ludus housed many champions in its time, and yet none greater stand before me on this day. I have secured position in the coming games! Two men to face each other in deadly contest. No quarter given, no mercy shown.

SKINTICK AND DENESMET! TWO LEGENDS TO APPEASE CAPUA AND THE GODS. MAY GLORIOUS DEATH BRING RAIN.


After I mention that Skin may have been buddying up to bendal, bendal chooses to force skin to fight, but since the scum are generally better than town at combat he might be hoping for an early PI by having skin fight on day 1. This is also beneficial for them because today is the day, through sheer numbers, with the best chance of matching his scum up against one of the weaker town, who may not have received a scum combat boost role.

I am very interested in how this battle comes out.

(Yes I did spend a lot of time before the game thinking about what I would do if I got the tyrant role myself. Fuck you bendal!)

Edit: Changed ) to (


We all should be interested in this. As for your thoughts on how the tyrant role might think, you might be right. He could also wait and hope to see if we get unlucky with the lynches first. However, I have to agree and think Batiatus might place one of his shields in the first fight as strategy.



It was Aranatha the first one to mention it. Aranatha who is laying extremely low.

If there was time and enough people I would want this person lynched to see if there is any merit to the shield name being a slip.

For now, the only viable lynch is Ultama or Tennes. The momentum seems to be on Tennes and he seems to have someone defending him.

I ask that no one actually test this, because it would be a day without a lynch and Merrid would just be WIFOM'ing all over the thread about how busy he was and he just didn't make it in time.

Hmm, I would have been more keen on an Ultama lynch, personally.

Tennes, I felt, made some decent posts.

However, I will vote to get the lynch. Any idea what he's at?

Is there also a lynch mechanic? Is there also a regular NK mechanic? Is the Tyrant a member of the scum?


The lynch will be the main way that town will be able to kill the Shields so that they can take down Batiatus.

There are no other NKs besides the Arena Fight results.

The scum team will be Batiatus (the Tyrant) and his Shields (most likely 2 of them). Everyone else will be the Town team.

The Shields will be able to be sent into Arena Fights a small, finite amount of times. They will be powerful, however they will still be beatable - so it would be a risk for Batiatus to do so. This should give town more of a chance to figure out who the Shields are besides complete guess-work.

There are a couple of 'roled' town members, meaning that there are a couple of town members who will have abilities that can help them win Arena Fights, or delay them.


Jesus fucking christ you two.

THAT POST HAS ALREADY BEEN QUOTED IN THIS THREAD. FUCK.
