Assassins IV: The Return

[Lex-Kat]

Not a problem. I'll remove you from the Auto-lynch list.

Question: Should I require a Vote to be considered Active, or just a Post during the Day Phase?

Choices: Vote or Post.

[Ramsus]

Vote. Otherwise I see the potential for wolf shenanigans. Though voting specifically for none one (example: no vote) might be acceptable. I dunno. Just throwing that out there, I'll leave it up to wiser minds.

[billtodamax]

Vote, and nothing like what Ramsus mentioned.

[Lord Loss]

Vote. Simpler, I should think. The no vote (or no lynch, perhaps) idea is intriguing, but... I'd just stick with vote required.

[Qwaz]

I think a red text vote should be required. No problem with the choice of a vote to No lynch.

It's all about the infomation. People have to lie in this game. Talk is cheap and while votes can be used to mislead too they carry more weight so you know people have thought about their choices to some degree.

If we allow people to just post then someone can just watch and commentate on the game quietly and slide through it without contributing on the outcome or playing in any meaningful way.

(That said - id lynch someone trying this as the play style is obviously pro-wolf. Should everyone just not vote then Noone's lynched and only night kills happen...etc)

[Szilard]

Vote, but not no vote.

[calar]

Vote, lest any confusion occur.

[Gray Mage]

Vote. No lynch is ok, but no vote isn't.

[Orzel]

Vote every player must make some sort of input even if it is no lynch.

[Hipen3]

I VOTE LEXIE FOR PREZ!!!

[Supagoof]

I VOTE LEXIE FOR PREZ!!!

I second this.

Also, forgot to let you all know, I've been absent due to recovery from surgery. I'll be here hunting assassins soon. Thx for the pm Lexi and also to Reinholdt for grabbing my post from the other game.

[Joosbawx]

Too late . And I don't think a rule change has a chance.

And I say VOTE and no lynch should be no option (yes, I'm old school )

[GrlumpTheElder]

I Vote Vote

[Ramsus]

Hey, if there wasn't some weird rules question it wouldn't be a game Lex was running. (Well ok there just was in the last one I was in, I'm not sure if this sort of thing happens every time.)

[Lex-Kat]

Okay, so everyone's opinion is Vote. Thank you everyone for your helpful input. And no, this doesn't happen every game. You've just been lucky, Ramsus.

[The Bushranger]

Vote was lynched. Vote was a Voter.

[GrlumpTheElder]

Vote was lynched. Vote was a Voter.

Aww, I was convinced it was an assasin...

Night 2

The Assassin moved quietly through the quiet city of Aemoh. The citizens had retired for the night.

He had been given a very important task. One that had to be fulfilled before the pretender could be disposed of.

He entered the Queen's stables, silencing first an old guard, and then the young stable boy.

The Queen had intentionally left the place lightly guarded. Intending no one would realize something important was within.

But she didn't know, the children of Osari knew. For years they had been infiltrating her Royal Guard. And now the time had come!!

The Assassin regained control of his senses. He could not mess this up. He quietly peeked into each stable, finding an ordinary stallion or filly in each.

Then he came upon a strange sight. A yellow pony curled up with a grey kitteh.

He had found it. Carefully he removed his dart gun, loaded the poison dart, and was about to take aim.

But as he raised the tube to his lips, he noticed something was wrong. His eyes opened wide. The kitteh was gone.

He looked around wildly, knowing he was in danger. That was no ordinary kitteh, that was the Sniper Kitteh. One of the foremost killers in the known kingdoms.

He stepped back toward one of the stalls, hoping to hide in its shadow. And then he saw movement. He looked up in the rafters, and barely moved in time as the crossbow bolt struck where his head had been.

He quickly lifted the blow gun to his lips and fired instinctively. Raaaer!! THUMP! By some miracle, he'd hit him.

The assassin smiled grimly. You are dead, Reinholdt. The poison in your system will kill you before you can reach a doctor. He called out triumphantly.

He then turned back to his primary target. Once again he loaded a poison dart, and lifted the tube to his mouth. As he looked at his target, she looked back at him with sad pleading eyes. But the assassin had no mercy for a yellow pony. And with one quickk blow, the pony began it's own journey to death.

Job done, the assassin started to leave. Out of the shadow, Reinholdt leapt at his killer, attaching himself to his face. After a few quick slashes, the assassin was finally able to rip the furred furry from his face. With one swift kick, he sent the kitteh flying back into the stables. Then fled into the night.

The next morning, the Royal Guards found the dead kitteh laying next to the dead pony.

Reinholdt was killed. He was a My Little Pony Sniper Kitteh Royal Guard.

[rakkoon]

Thanks for the narrations, have fun guys and girls

[banjo1985]

Cowardly Noble Banjo realises he must accuse someone of being an assassin, even if it is just to get others to act. That would be preferable in fact, as that would mean he could avoid confrontation, a big binus for one as cowardly as he. Eventually he spots someone who might not be able to try and hit him if he accuses them.

"I sawGrlump the Elder playing hackey sack on the queens lawn! Maybe this elder is not quite so 'eld' as he says he is...old, I mean."

[Reinholdt]

RAWR! I'm on your face, clawing out your eyes!
...
And now I'm dead. Blargh.

[Szilard]

This guard strokes his non-existent beard. Coin flipping obviously didn't work. Now, it's time to pick out an evil looking name. Like Eric, but with a k.

Not Grlump the Elder, sounds too close to Forrest Gump, and I like Forrest Gump.

Hmm...

How's about Lord Loss?
I can almost hear the spine-tingling dramatic music!

[mangosta71]

While on patrol in the keep, one of the guards happens to come across a man who looks like an escaped prisoner. He seizes the man by the scruff of the neck and begins to drag him away.

"My duty's to the law,
You have no rights - come with me, 24601!
Now the world has turned around,
Istari is nothing now."

[cd4]

I think I'll go hunting with Bob for the Ferret

[Matt K]

Zar Peters as the last name on the list.

[Fortuna]

And, randomly starting a wagon, Lord Loss.

[Deathslayer7]

Someone's targeting all the major players.

Anyone know who might want both Murska and Reinholdt dead? Yes I know that's a lot of people.

[VA_beds]

hmmmm, pointing out a pattern...sounds like you dont want to be thought of as using a pattern mr deathslayer7

[Andre Fairchilde]

Suspects for killing Reinholdt include our narrator, of course. And Murska. And Reinholdt for killing Murska.

Hmm. How about Ramsus.
