Nice to see people have chimed in with sensible replies to Pallid's statement before I got on. This is a faction and a cult game - with the proviso that it's actually "town" who get to choose to be recruited and enter a faction - or not.

I guess someone had to get the ball rolling today, but Silanah's vote on me is really weak - interesting to see Pallid throwing their weight (though not their vote) behind it so quickly.


Edit: Wrote Venesara instead of Pallid.


Yes, it is weak. And I know you've produced more content than a number of those above you in post counts. But, 5 posts in a week? Really?



Mixture of being too busy last week and, uh, almost entirely forgetting about the game yesterday. But yeah, even so, I know the post count is bad. But the only way is up!

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. 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.

There are 3 races in this game. Human, Changeling, and Sidhe. Humans do not have the power to hurt the Sidhe, and Sidhe are constrained from hurting humans. Changelings qualify as both, and are able to hurt both.

Once again, Mab and Titania are at each others throats in the beautiful city of Chicago. No one knows what set them off this time, but it seems that almost all their troops are defending the borders of reality from the outsiders, so they must turn those that they had previously ignored. The cast offs. The changelings.

They are offering prime places in their courts for any who declare for them and help drive out the hated enemy.

Humans just want peace, but the thought of power and immortality is certainly attractive to some.

Be warned, a shadowy government organization has taken interest in all the odd happenings in Chicago, and is in town investigating.


Ok retract the part in the earlier post about humans. Humans are most definitely present and they may go any which way. I find the second quote very significant. They "just want peace" I take that as implying they are ripe for government recruitment as the government surely only wants 'law and order' But, they may also want power and immortality. Can the Knights mantle be bestowed upon a vanilla human? Think in terms of magical artifacts that can empower humans. and you have a bunch of magically enhanced human enforcers running around.


Once they choose power and immortality as you put it then it does not make them human. And Yys, a Mantle can probably be bestowed on a human in some fashion and if they choose so but then they will have to work and play in accordance to the Sidhe rules.

Just gonna keep posting random thoughts. So we have humans that can be convinced or possibly lured into joining the Sidhe factions, human FBI agents working to keep humans safe from the changelings as well as changelings that can and probably HAVE to choose a side , if that is part of their abilities, to win.

The front page of The Chicago Times reveals that there was a gangland shootout overnight, but no bodies were recovered and of course no witnesses have come forward.



It is day 4. There are 47 hours and 58 minutes left.

There are 16 alive: (9 to lynch)
Ampelas, Korbas, Korlat, Mockra,, Omtose, Pallid, Silanah, Spite, Tellan, Tennes, Tholen, Tiamatha, Togg, Tulas Shorn, Ultama, Venesara


I'm going to start doling out modkills at the end of the day for people who haven't posted since the weekend.

Low activity can also mean a building plot by one or both of the groups. (I am being wildly optimistic) Frankly shield hunting still seems to be the only viable proposition. Thing is, if each queen has two shields, and one is a KNight and one is a Lady, by the book dynamics, the Lady should be double the power of the Knight (at least). Of course that may have been levelled down in the interests of game simplicity. Now that I come to think about it though, taking out a Shield may not give immediate results as the mantles can probably be immediately transferred to other suitable people. A minimum of two successive lynches which can make on faction run out of aligned people seems to be the only trick, but I doubt if that can be done.

Been in bed all day sick. I'll try to participate more. I wouldn't have signed up if I knew I'd feel this awful.

Queens, give out orders and bribes and give us information. You are immortal so be tyrranical.

Basically I think the whole thread is waiting for the two of you to do whatever it is you need to do before we can get this game going.

I can't help but agree with this - I mean, we're a bunch of humans amongst a few Sidhe, right? No wonder no one wants to jump too high.

I would like to point out that this seems to be the second night that it looks like someone attempted to kill someone else and was unable too.
