the fact that you even thought that was a possible interpretation... Guilty conscience?

If we are thinking that someone could've jumped into Gait to make him sound like Bek and Tholen then maybe lynching Bek first would be the logical course of action? At least we will see what faction they are in, which might give us a better insight?

I don't think anyone has a clean conscience 😉

So, this kind of sounds like a genuine slip. Which in turn makes you wonder: if you're jumping between alts and have your main open in a different browser or incognito window (to look at the other alt-passwords in the Role PM), why do you keep an additional tab open on the game thread, instead of only the Messenger? It's like staring down the barrel of a gun to see if it is loaded. The other alts already end up witnessing the game thread, anyway, so why tempt yourself to begin with?


Given the number of people who mistakenly posted from their forum account, I'd say it's not a rare mistake to make. Even given the fact that most true forum accounts have different skins set than game alts, mistakes still happen. In this case, the skin setting are probably the same, increasing the probability of losing track of the window your in, especially if you're switching rapidly from alt to alt (so window to window) to create a "conversation" among them. So it wouldn't surprise me if the slip was simply that, a slip.

@Both you and Togg: sure, it happens often enough, especially with nekkid postings.
However, that's without having a game alt that you don't want to be lynched/implicated in your "cunning little scheme (that comes with furry white cat)". One would expect more caution then.

Yeah, sure, there is going to be caution, but some people get all aroused when they're working a little scheme, which might increase the odds of a slip. There's a couple of minutes between each post, so it could very well be "Opening up a new window to check up on thread", "Forgetting that this is main window when at bottom", "Rushing to use fast-reply in excitement, so no cue of current alt visible on screen".


What would your alternative be? Assuming it's a set-up?

I think that a set-up is unlikely, as I think there are three alts involved. If it would be a set-up, the player would need control over two alts AND take over another player's alt to get to a total of three alts. I don't think it's likely for a single player to get the ability to (control additional alt(s) AND take-over another player's alt) OR (take over two player's alts at the same time). The most straightforward explanation for a player to have control over three alts is having (at least) two additional alts, so then a set-up is unlikely.

Or am I missing something? Is there a reason someone would set-up one of their own alts for a lynch?

If their main alt is under attack?

I'm not sure Tholen would've come out the woodwork if someone other than Bek was under fire.

My vote is in Gait but would switch to Bek to get a lynch.

We don't know if there are voting shenanigans, so getting a majority before last minute might be the way forward. How long is left in the day?

That is an interesting thought re Bek. However, Gait is clearly the one that was acting differently/more seriously and not involving themselves in the Bek/Tholen fun. So this would be saying that the Gait slip was actually deliberate, in order to distract us from lynching Bek. But even if that's the case, it would only be a short-term ploy, as you've then revealed your third alt too which up till then had been hidden. But on the third hand, if Bek dying might mean the other alts die too, then I could see the sense in a deliberate slip in order to give yourself one more day.

I dunno, it just seems simpler to assume it was an accidental slip by Gait.

So we are split up, do we get everybody together and vote all for the same alt?

Well that was interesting to read. I am not sure which one of those was a fake alt. But the slip by Gait is to much to ignore. I will be on and working and am happy to change my vote to Bek to get a lynch.


Vote Gait

I think its fairly evident that Bek Okhan has been taken over/is being controlled by somebody.

This is why I don't want to vote Bek.

But having said that, the CF might prove useful, and we can go after Gait next?

My vote is the 8th one I think, so... decisions, decisions...

1 hour left on the clock. If PS doesn't inform us of a lynch in that time then will we get an extension? If no else votes within that time.

The air was quiet; no wind brushed the long grass of the plains as they gathered near Allugath. Parley had been called; each could see the others now, wondering who had summoned them and why. The Wizards of the east sat atop their horses and eyed each other warily. The land of Allugath may have been holy to them, but its possession was now for anyone. The Barbarians' mounts were taller, rougher, larger than horses, some half-breed meant to carry them across endless leagues without tiring. They snorted and pulled at their reins, refusing to remain still. Only the Rogues stood, almost careless, though to underestimate their casual appearance would be to see them disappear like magic in the tall grass. They waited.

Suddenly a great darkness fell upon the fields of Allugath. With a blinding light and crash of thunder, the Cleric appeared before them. Though he whispered, the Cleric's voice could be heard as if he was all that existed on that plain.

"The Agreement has been broken."

As the three factions stood in awe of the Cleric, wind swirling around his cloak, they realized he had not spoken. His words indeed sounded in their minds. Even the Wizards marvelled at his power.

"As Allugath was once made in the cauldron of conflict, let it be so again! For one among you has broken the Agreement. Punishment must be swift, the betrayer identified."

The Rogues, Barbarians, and Wizards looked at each other now, seeing shadows where there were none before, flickering in the Cleric's storm of power.

"Already the rules of the Agreement begin to break down..." The Cleric's voice sounded far away. "The rules break down... Find yourselves, and each other, or Allugarth shall be given to another." He was nowhere to be seen as his words faded. For a few moments, the gathered factions did not know what to do.

Then, across the darkened plains, a figure could be seen fleeing the gathering. "There!" a Wizard shouted. He mumbled to himself as he prepared a spell. A Barbarian screamed with rage and sped after the lone warrior who had run from the Cleric's presence, charging downhill. Before anyone else could speak, a rogue turned to the group with a twisted smile. He raised his bow and loosed an arrow without looking back. As the Barbarian closed, the arrow fell without a sound and suddenly the running man exploded into a thousand shards of glass.

Pieces of something fluttered down among them; the same rogue reached out to touch the shimmering rain. "An Elemental," he said in disgust and nocked another arrow, cautious.

The Cleric's voice came from everywhere, soft. "Conflict remains. Only one of three may possess Allugath. Beware the Agreement; look to yourselves..."

The remaining peace of parley lasted less than five seconds before everyone turned and ran.


Bek Okhan has been lynched. He was a Conjured Elemental.

Well I am going to take that he is a fake alt. I also think that it may still be day for a few minutes longer. As PS didn't say that day had ended.
