The problem is, anyone who goes after one of them gets targeted by everyone of that faction and everyone who wants to throw in with them.

So if we go after summer, we get targeted by their power players, if we go after winter, we get targeted by theirs instead, if we go after both, then we just piss off all of the power players.

Best of the bad choices seems to be to indeed start a culture hunt, but what if we kill a queen and her followers and the other side straight up just wins. Should we go for equal measure culture hunt? God that would be nearly impossible just thinking about it.

I agree we need to start a culture hunt. Not sure how we should do it.


If we can actually find a power player on one of the sides and that person is known to other winter players and not just the queen then that would be a good way to draw out one side. I am willing to worry about what happens if one queen is lynched when and if we are able to get to that point.


Maybe you dont worry cause you are in a position to choose.

Obdigore is not so good with updates and vote counts and things like that such as D'rek or Vengeance or Blend.

He's more like Groot and sprouts slowly. But with much force and anger.

I'm so far off the fence on this. Really 2 Tyrant Steves who get to add shields to replace lost ones? Really?

Okay, so I'm all caught up. And two people stand out to me, and neither is Tennes. For what it's worth, I'm enjoying the split personality RP, it's like a breath of fresh air, and makes me wish I'd thought up my own thing before beginning to post.

I'm leaning towards Tellan, personally. Clearly a mercenary, not currently allied with anyone. Does anyone else have thoughts? Because as entertaining (or not) as you find this conversation, it isn't getting us anywhere.



Bolded part suggests that from the beginning of the game Rikkter has had a clear (non-changeable?) alliance.

Not very clear to me. Also, why should the majority of the thread go after mercenaries? Don't we want the shields?

And we're unlikely to find out anything about changelings with you doing all the talking.
"Who wants to live forever,"You want to lynch the talkers?Vote Rikkter
Sure, if they're not talking anything useful. Vote Tellan

Wanting to lynch Tellan with no reason again. Who are you to say what they have said is useful or not?


I'm not at all trying to rush a lynch, merely suggesting that this might be a thing we should think about. I'm interested in your terminology, first I'm "fishy", then I'm "rushing a lynch". The first one is vague, the second is unfounded, and it really looks to me like you're stretching to find something to attack me for.

The mercenary comment was because it looks to me like Tellan is out to get everything he can and he'll sell himself to the highest bidder. Clearly I've been watching too much Sleepy Hollow recently, that was badly worded and I apologise. However, this is essentially a faction game, and anyone looking to switch loyalties is suspicious to me. I agree that we should be looking for shields, but so far the only mention of shields is also in relation to Tellan.

Finally, my reasoning for voting Tellan is in the second quote you posted, so I'm not sure what you mean by wanting to vote Tellan again. You're welcome to disagree with me, of course, but I found nothing useful from Tellan's fishing, and I found the sections about women in particular gross and misogynistic, and I was bored of the conversation, so I started a new one.



Why switch? Why not 'align'? Again suggesting that Rikkter has a pre-determined side they're playing on.

I wonder what will happen if one of the queens in dead? Are they not their opposites and need each other for balance? If we get rid of one I have a feeling the other will be able to create mayhem.


Korlat came out with this post after the first vote for one of the tyrants. "Please don't vote for my ruler"?

Alkend has not posted and is now mod-killed.

He was hmqb, and a dickbag for not posting in a dresden game.

Alkend was aligned with Summer at the time of his death.



Shield potentially down. Is it worth trying a lynch on Summer today?



I will

Vote Rikkter

now, but I am open to trying a lynch on Summer after Alkend's modkill.


Venessara clearly points out in this first post that he wouldnt mind voting Summer, and later me cause he think I am Summer.

Tennes says:

"That is actually a well pointed out case. We are will to see where it goes. I agree that...Whooo there.. Sorry Tennes! We agree since summer is weak that a culture hunt for them would be fun.

We shall hold off on voting though as people always find it suspicious when a sudden train builds up. Tennes? Yes? I think that they find it suspicious because of the lack of reading comprehension. Your right Tennes, there has already been shown a complete lack of reading comprehension so that isn't a stretch.

Rikkter is Lynched


Tennes agrees and likes Vens case that Summer is weak and that that would be a good idea, later folllows Ven's vote against Summer.

I wonder if changelings can choose to either join the human or sidhe factions depending on how the game is going. Again, dont know if it translated into the game, but if you look at the wiki a changeling can choose either or.


Just a quick note on this - in the books, once a Changeling has declared for the Sidhe, they cannot revert back to human, they become whatever their other half blood is, so I would assume this game works the same.

Quote

Maybe something to consider as Summer lost one of the guards or players aligned with her, so that might have given the winter-sidhe changelings some confidence to turn to that side.


I also find this part of the post interesting - seems to me Korlat is subtly trying to point us in Winter's direction. He's saying "Winter looks more attractive to the Changelings right now, so we should try to deal with that by bringing winter back to parity."

If we decide to culture hunt Summer, and I'm thinking that's the logical way to go as it would leave us with only one Sidhe queen to deal with, so far this is about the only thing that stands out to me that doesn't come from one of the Queens' mouths.


I wonder if it would be better for us to to try to eliminate any possible summer or winter. To expand my thought. Summer has already lost a player if we think that Korlat is winter and lynch him then the balance would still remain and winter would remain. I don't think that a culture hunt will be that possible here, because the lower roles may not know one another so that then there isn't going to be anything to point from one to another. I think that it is possible that only the queens know who is on there team and since they are lynch proof now they are just going to throw out false signals. I am fine voting for Korlat as a possible member of winter.

Vote Korlat




Out of the blue he is talking how he will vote on me because I am Winter? The hell did that come from? IF he was so good on killing Summer before, and being convinced I am Summer he wouldn't make a mistake like that. There is something wierd with that and the way he was playing from the beginning. Whats with the wierd mumbo jumbo at the beginning? Its something stupid at the beginning so people will talk about you then leave you alone later. That and the claim that he was being recruited?

Following book logic. Humans can only agree to it they cannot be forced. Changelings also have to choose on their own. Changelings can go help humans. So would make sense that they would be able to do that. The Queens need to do a lot of convincing.

One of them mentioned I think it was BPs and FM abilities. If that doesn't appeal to a subset of Mafia players I don't know what does
