ARANATHA MUST SPEAK IN RHYMES FOR THE NEXT 5 HOURS.

Guys listen the fuck up.

I was able to kill skin, and THIS is who bendal chooses to fight with me.

IMAGINE THIS.

I am able to kill a gladiator, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES does bendal make me fight a shield?

The answer to that question whether you think I am gladiator or shield is NO.



Aranatha IS TOWN.

9 alive - bendal = 8 possible

8 - aranatha + me = 6 possible

6 people who have had no mechanical interaction with bendal yet. 2 of them (I think) MUST be our scum.

I am going to make this AS CLEAR AS I CAN.

I'm Spartacus!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8h_v_our_Q

I strongly suggest that we spend some time looking at those 6 unknowns left alive, and see who has had any interaction with bendal home, and who has had NONE. We have a VERY REAL CHANCE of sealing the deal right here.

I think Tennes + another is the scum at the moment, people have suggested Merrid and while it seems likely, I am remain uncertain on that front.


It has been mentioned previously but I am unfamiliar with the series they were referring to when talking about my ah, combat style. That should help cement my identity to people still not convinced.

Once again: The shields are two of these players! We should take the time to find any connections between them or bendal home!

Eldat Pressen, Iparth Erule, Merrid, Prazec Goul, Ryadd Eleis, Tennes

If Ghennan looks to be lynched today maybe BH would have went elsewhere but I think he is scared of my analysis. I want to hear what Eldat has to say.

[Prazec Goul]

There you go. I could not see BH putting a shield against one of town strong guys ie Skin.

I think Ryadd, Merrid or Iparth could be the other Shield but Tennes is #1 on my list.

[Ghennan]

And yes, I did have that post prepared many hours in advance, which is why I was almost giggling my way through the thread today. Because I was getting ready to post that as soon as bendal chose the fighters.



What now Bendal? WHAT NOW?

[Iparth Erule]

Ghennen has been waiting all game to reveal that.

I think Tennes is a decent choice, as well as Merrid and my personal Fave Rave Ryadd (who never even bothered to address my vote on him).

If we are playing by the Shields knowing each other but not being able to communicate (which I think most likely), I have doubts they would vote each other. Since I think Merrid is absolutely a shield, and he is voting for Ultama, I don't think Ultama is a shield. Especially that third vote on Ultama, get that train rolling.

I also find the 'random choice' from Ghennan scummy... but my thoughts on Ghennan are up thread.

Both Merrid and Tennes suddenly have (attempted) contributions today and have tripled their posts from day 1, due to a little pressure. Aranatha hasn't, but he hasn't gotten any real pressure either.

Day 1, 6 posts. As of your comment, 15 posts. Fucktard.

Anomandaris, on 31 July 2014 - 03:01 AM, said:

This post is scummy as fuck. 'Tennes' is possibly too good at being town, but I wont vote for him today. Lolwut? Why would you refuse to vote for someone today unless they are PI like Skintick, unless you are trying to cover for the (other) shield?


It's fucking Merrid and Tennes as the shields, people.

Ghennan is... an overexcited puppy.

Most everyone else is confused, lost, or disinterested.

You know what, I see no reason to vote Tennes today. I will not, therefore, vote Tennes today. You carry on and do what you want, sheeple.

Anomandaris, on 31 July 2014 - 03:08 AM, said:

Tennes KNOWS that shields' can't communicate off thread, and he knows they aren't trying to vary their play styles based on what the other shield is doing. I've done this before in previous games, so acting like it is impossible is stupid.

Then he offers to put a distancing vote on Merrid that has yet to appear, meanwhile, previously (see post above this one), Merrid 'clears' Tennes as town and refuses to vote for him today.

As I said in my post before, IMO yes, do you have a point here?

Ryadd Eleis, on 31 July 2014 - 07:38 AM, said:

Too many options for today. It is notable that Merrid and Tennes have both contributed far more today after their names were mentioned by several people. Ultama has generally continued to play the same way. And yet if we're thinking about perceived possible 'slips' Ultama seems to have more than others. Both Merrid and Tennes, on the other hand, have come out with several statements which illustrate either their ignorance or inability to fully digest what has been said/revealed in the game thus far. Ignorance doesn't absolve, however, and I think Merrid especially has tried (too?) hard to fill out their posts with 'analysis' which has been done previously.


Kessobahn's analysis of Ghennan is worthy, but I'm not prepared to go down that route as yet.


One more read-through before I vote.

I get accused of middle of the road when I'm getting screwed at work and rather busy at home? Oh jeez, thank you.

Guess what - I've got some time today. I have no time tomorrow and probably wont post all day. My internet gets installed on Monday at some point so no posting till late then. I'm sufficiently irritated that I'm going to go and do some shopping today rather than posting. Suck it.

See here. Merrid refuses to vote for Tennes. Who does that?

Vote Tennes or Merrid

Iparth Erule, on 31 July 2014 - 08:36 AM, said:

Merrid,

Why would one shield know who the other one was, AND assume that they didn't have the same information so they felt they had to signal?

Anyways, I like the contributions Kesso and Tennes have made today, so I'm not as keen on voting in that direction.

I need to do a re-read again. My initial re-read I latched onto this interesting post by Ryadd and mixed them with Eldat, so my concentration was mainly on their posts. Back to the drawing board.

Because the Doctore may have reason to think he has more information than Ashur?

You know what, no, I don't actually know.

What now Merrid?

Prazec Goul, on 31 July 2014 - 10:34 AM, said:

He will to get a lynch I am sure. Merrid, care to provide that information, so I am not assuming this

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.

Tennes had most votes up until now.

Merrid, on 31 July 2014 - 11:05 AM, said:

It is now Day 2. 1 hours 25 minutes remaining.

There are 13 Players left alive: Anomandaris, Aranatha, Bendal Home, Eldat Pressen, Ghennan, Iparth Erule, Kessobahn, Merrid, Prazec Goul, Ryadd Eleis, Skintick, Tennes, Ultama

7 votes to lynch. 7 votes for night.

5 votes Tennes: Eldat Pressen, Iparth Erule, Anomandaris, Ghennan, Prazec Goul
2 votes Ultama: Merrid, Kessobahn


Players not voted: Aranatha, Bendal Home, Iparth Erule, Ryadd Eleis, Skintick, Ultama

Now unless Merrid is being set up by Merrid here, then Ryadd would be my other choice because he was the first to swing the vote..

Ryadd Eleis, on 31 July 2014 - 11:15 AM, said:

Vote Ultama



In order to register my favoured option. I'll switch if need be. But even just on page 1, every one of Ultama's posts say scum to me.

remember Tennes wanted to "vote Merrid"

Eldat Pressen, on 31 July 2014 - 11:14 AM, said:

Does anyone else find it interesting that neither candidate has voted?

I'm here and most of your comments make me feel like I'm playing with a mentally retarded player. I specifically said I was going to sleep and that I will vote after waking up. You choose to ignore it and make this post.

Vote Ultama

Because it seems like Merrid isn't a candidate anymore and my lynch wouldn't benefit town.

[Ryadd Eleis]

Remove Vote

That's what I was waiting for from Ghennan. Unless someone counterclaims there is no reason not to believe the reveal. I also agree that, with Aranatha being the other fight selection, the two shields are among those who have not fought.

[Ryadd Eleis]

The Merrid-Tennes connection by Prazec rests on the foundation that the shields know each other, otherwise it doesn't work. Myself I'm not sure either way as yet about that. As I said before, I'd be amenable to voting Tennes simply because he has attracted so much suspicion recently, even though I myself haven't found it the same.

The Merrid posts re Tennes are odd, I'll give you that. If it's a scum defending another scum it's pretty blatant, especially with few other posts by Merrid to cover it up. I don't know if scum would be so open about defending their own. Having mulled it over, though, I think it's probably a worthy enough suspicion to follow.

[Ryadd Eleis]

I'm going to have a read through Eldat, Iparth, Prazec, Merrid and Tennes and see what I can see.

[Ghennan]

Don't forget to put through your votes on who will win. I think both fighters are guaranteed town now, so doesn't really matter who you vote for, just as long as the strongest fighter survives for when they come up against the shields.

Aranatha go all out tonight, best for town as a whole.

[Eldat Pressen]

Comp at booted me off and won't let me back. @PG no quotes on phone but I think your analysis is very good. Tennes has been #1 on my list for a couple days now. Merrid is another top contender. I would throw Ryadd in there for the swing away from Tennes on day he was up for lynch. Not supposed to be on phone at work so....

Slips/missteps/screwups in malazan mafia are largely non-existent. I'm honestly tired of people holding to "cases" as the be all and end all of legitimate scum searching. The serve the purpose of creating interaction and reaction, but THOSE are ultimately more useful than the initial case that created them.

You say you can't defend against posting style. I call bullshit - you're just too lazy to explain your own thought process which has led to a carefully sculpted game presence. Or, you are scum and therefore actually can NOT defend yourself.

I am not too lazy - I am simply not bothered about defending myself against your accusation, which itself is lazy.

Your final sentence before the vote is also ineherently ridiculous - why would me being scum automatically mean I can't defend myself? "Oh fuck, you've found me out, and as scum I cannot lie, so well played sir." Really Iparth?


In the end, I also see no reason to defend myself when Bendal themselves have given out the strongest indication that I am not a shield.
