Also, an NK has happened, so that certainly clears up whether or not there are roles.

All in all, unless there are some serious info-gathering during the night and the start of info dumping, I'm not sure what there is to go on to pick up the pace on Day 3. Outside of that, most likely ways to poke people is to scrutinize the voting so far.



Or you could ask yourself "Why Cast?".

What if Okaros is not the person in Turkey but wants to signal the person who really is there?




Isn't that against the rules? :)


Do you think the law means anything for a proud noble?

That's WIFOM and mostly useless. I think our best chance lies in trying to figure out the game setup first and then trying to find a target for the lynch.

My thoughts on the setup:
Despite the fact that it is a faction game, I cannot help but believe that there was a majority of people in one of the factions on day1 because of how Tapper formatted the OP.

Standard role PM:

Quote

Marcese Ottone di Villanova

You are Marcese Ottone di Villanova, a noble of the Noblesse peninsula. Villanova is a plucky little town roughly half a day removed from the ancient former capital of Noblesse, Gaiia. It is where many of the city's merchants, officials and bishops have second homes, removed from the hustle and bustle of the Eternal City. They come to Villanova for entertainment and relaxation, and as a result, even though you are the hereditary lord of the town, your subjects often outrank you. You deal with it by keeping a low profile, but you have a great many friends in high places, even though many of them are enemies of one another. it makes you a perfect dealbroker, and the house of Villanova prospers as a result


I believe the game set up will be something like this:

A) A majority faction with a number simple roles like Guard/Finder/maybe a vig/lover (but not all of them). + two smaller minority factions with NAs. (10 in the bigger faction/ 5 divided among the smaller ones)

Or
B)The same big faction I mentioned earlier + a one man cult + a NA faction

It would explain the absence of a NK on night 1 (the healer/guard got lucky) , it would explain why we have had 2 deaths among one faction out of 3 deaths total. It would make sense if you look at Lock's CF

"A signee of treaty of Rosetta"
Maybe he was recruited?

Thoughts?

I disagree with your first statement, but, hey, it's your party. At least you've followed your questing with actual content, so let's go with that.

Presumably something he said identified him as safe to kill for someone with a NK, so take a look at what he said and with who to try and squeeze a bit of information about faction makeup out of his death?

That's my problem with it. It may be that, or it may be just luck, or someone who knows there is no other person on his faction...

I'm not really interested the killer himself or even his ulterior motives, we could be swapping wine around until the heat death and it still would have gotten us nowhere.

However, I had a feeling Cast's behavior was a bit off during the first day and this NK draws me back to it. I'll try to highlight it for your.

Cast gets annoyed and immediately votes Anthras.

Its not humor its essentially gibberish unless people actually go take the time to google it. And I shouldnt have to fucking google something to figure out why the hell you are voting.


Oh come on. You can get the basis off the word "humor" can't you?


Clearly he cant.

This is a Tapper game, pay attention at the back.

After Anthras has told him to pay attention "at the back", his mood changes from PMS to tongue-in-cheek.

Vote Gait

When I run a game all the flavour text will be in a foreign language and there will be clues in it, just to annoy lazy people who do not want to put some time into thread.

a real vote swing, no attempt to call it something else, I like to see open communications.

Since he stopped the Italian/Latin annoyance



Remove Vote



Here, in attempt to make it sound like a swing vote, he removes his vote for Anthras, supported by stating Anthras stopped with the annoying Latin. However, even though he says it's a swing vote, he never actually jumps on the vote train by voting for Gait. Why? If you're really casting a swing vote, you switch, not merely remove your vote. All he does here is bury lowering the vote count on Anthras, a count that hardly mattered as Gait was getting deeper in shit anyway.

Sure, this could be just a sarcastic remark, but it could also marked the completing of his 180 degree turn.

I'm waiting for Tapper to fill in the scene description. The last one seemed to give us quite a bit of info. And Lock's CF as the Hope of Noblesse makes them sound...unique.

The first thing that really jumps out at me this morning are these two comments. It seems fairly obvious to me that all 3 players were from different factions. So why do we have 2 players that either purposely misrepresenting this on thread or have serious reading comprehension problems.

What makes you say they were from 3 seperate factions?

I do agree that the Treaty of Rosetta thing is new and strange since it doesnt fit in with anything like the stardard role PM that Tapper exhibited. But I have been waiting for the scene to be fleshed out also as I thought it would help move things along a bit

Gait is lynched.

He was Alfeo de Montferrat, Barone de Montferrat, a proud Noblesse noble.

It is now night. I will resolve it in the next 15 minutes. Story blurb will be inserted here, tomorrow, too, but for now all you need to know is that Montferrat, such a pleasant little estate on the east coast of Noblesse, was suddenly beset by four of its neighbours, its plucky little army of peasants with spears and the occassional nobleman with a mounted retinue routed and hunted down, and the mercenary companies raised on loans were bought off, then turning to plunder the same villages they were hired to protect.

Such is life in Noblesse.

It is now night.

The last names indicate that they all came from different places. If you go back and look at the role PM the last name is the same as the province the person hails from. Unless there is a recruitment factor in play as Iparth has said. But until I get more evidence that that is true Im going to keep that idea at a simmer on the backburner

There is x2 nobless noble and x1 Rosetta I don't see any indicator of what the third faction you are mentioning is.

di Vicire means from Vicire. A place that we had not seem mentioned by now. The Treaty part also seems to indicate an affiliation we havent seen yet. So take either of those things and Lock doesnt seem to be associated with either of the other 2
