Vampire V : Paris by Night...

[Helgraf]

After the horrific bloodbath of the prior day, the events of this night are .. unsettlingly quiet. No howls rip the evening air ... no sounds of battle, nor cries of fright.

In one of the mausoleums, a well oiled door slides open, and figures slip in. They find the body within and begin their work.

With the dawn, the disfigured remains of Ramsus rises to his feet, eyes opening once the stitches are cut away.

In another chamber, the body of bladescape has been ritually vivisected and portions removed. There is no longer enough left of the body for resurrection.

Ramsus has been resurrected from the dead
Bladescape has been destroyed

At dawn, the gypsy roster is posted throughout the city
Gray Mage
Larspcus2
otakuryoga

Further proclaimations indicate that Open Discourse 2 will begin on Day 13

Day 12 begins.

[Larspcus2]

Confirming Alarra seems like a reasonable thing to do.

[Penguinator]

Alarra. I'm not letting you get away with any funny business.

[Helgraf]

The hunched beggar cavorts through the streets, alternating between laughter, tears and rage, though he never touches so much as a hair on a persons head.

He says nothing, save when asked, but when asked any question, he merely replies...

"The question? The question is dead. Long live the answer!"

[banjo1985]

Hmmm, scried TinyMushroom as a Parisian last night, so she's probably not one.

I'd rather go for Otakuryoga as a quiet under the radar type who could be one of the last vampires. I don't really see much of a point in confirming Alarra, but then again I haven't been paying a great deal of attention. Oversubscribed on games again.

[PirateMonk]

Otakuryoga, since wasting a day seems like a bad idea.

[mangosta71]

I find it curious that Larspcus2 is so eager to take out the star-crossed players, since they don't count against our victory.

[Reinholdt]

Murska is highest on my suspicion list.

[Zar Peter]

Point at Fin

[TinyMushroom]

Another vote for Larspcus2 over here.

[Ramsus]

Hmmm, not really sure what to do with myself here so I guess I'll vote for Alarra since it will pass on to Larspcus2 if she is really what she's supposed to be.

[Zjoot]

Can't hurt to vote Alarra I guess.

[Penguinator]

Can't hurt to vote Alarra I guess.

*cracks knuckles* Well, it can...

[billtodamax]

Larspcus2.

[calar]

Larspcus2, waiting a day on someone who is pretty much confirmed as not a villager threat seems like poor logic...

[Helgraf]

Event Resolution: Shameless Political Pandering!
Results: Success!
Payout: When I get in again tonight, I will tally all votes from Vampire players who voted for Helgraf for Mayor in the Mafia 12 thread. Every voter will get 1 Imperial Favor. There may be one or two other minor prizes as well. The list of voters will be made public.

[Murska]

Alarra, huh.

[Larspcus2]

It doesn't waste a day, because the lynch is shifted onto whoever has the second-highest number of votes.

[Larspcus2]

Here are the rules for the Star-crossed, with the relevant portion bolded:

You are one of the Star-crossed. Your goal is to find your soulmate and survive with them through the oncoming storm. The Star-crossed consist of one Parisian and one vampire. Your star-crossed is <playername here>.
Primary Victory Condition: The Star-crossed Victory condition is modified: they do not count as vampires or Parisians for determining overall victory. If one of the star-crossed is the lynchpin Parisian, the vampires win and the star-crossed win. If one of the star-crossed is the last remaining vampire, the Parisians win and the lovers win. Your affiliations may give you secondary win conditions.
Ability: – None
Effect: – I will save you – If the Star-crossed vampire is in a coven that attacks the Star-crossed Parisian, the night kill will be shifted to the next most appropriate target instead. If the Star-crossed Parisian points at the Star-crossed vampire , and theStar-crossed vampire would otherwise be lynched, the lynch is shifted to the next most appropriate target.
Effect: – Greater than the sum – When working on the same task in an event, the Star-crossed gain a bonus to their chances for success.
Night Kill: The Star-crossed Vampire casts votes for the night kill as normal for a Vampire.
Targeting: Star-crossed Vampire: Scry as Monster. Strong Scries as Vampire/Star-crossed.
Star-crossed Parisian: Scry as Parisian. Strong Scries as Parisian/Star-crossed.

Voting for Alarra

[PirateMonk]

It doesn't waste a day, because the lynch is shifted onto whoever has the second-highest number of votes.

Oh, right. Sorry.

[Penguinator]

In other words, I'm killing him because he's insistent on attacking my lover.

[Istari]

Sure, Alarra

[Elder Tsofu]

Penguinator, to die while saving your loved one - stuff for tales I tell you.

[Helgraf]

The day has been extended due to the holiday weekend - but it will end Monday night (Eastern time).

If you haven't voted yet, do try to do so, hmmm? We are slowly creeping toward endgame, after all.

[Gray Mage]

Alarra, I guess.

For those who find sappy romance unbearable, skip the spoiler box. The rest of you can flash back to a night long ago in Paris...

Love is a many splendored thing,
Love lifts us up where we belong,
All you need is love!

Please, don't start that again.

All you need is love!

A girl has got to eat!

All you need is love!

She'll end up on the street! (sigh)

All you need is looooove!

Love is just a game.

I was made for loving you baby,
You were made for loving me.

The only way of loving me baby,
Is to pay a lovely fee.

Just one night,
Give me just one night.

There's no way,
Cause you can't pay.

In the name of love!
One night in the name of love!

You crazy fool,
I won't give in to you.

Don't, leave me this way.
I can't survive, without your sweet love,
Oh baby, don't leave me this way.

You'd think that people would've had enough of silly love songs...

I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no.

Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.

Well what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know.
Cause here I go... again...
Love lifts us up where we belong!
Where eagles fly,
On a mountain high!

Love makes us act like we are fools.
Throw our lives away,
For one happy day.

We could be heroes...
Just for one day.

You, you will be mean.

No, I won't.

(sigh) And I, I'll drink all the time.

We should be lovers...

We can't do that.

We should be lovers!
And that's a fact.

Though nothing, would keep us together.

We could steal time...

Just for one day.

We could be heroes,

Forever and ever,

We could be heroes,

Forever and ever,

We can be heroes...

Just because I... will always love you...

I...

...Can't help loving...

...You...

How wonderful life is,

Now you're in,

the world.....

Larspcus2 was lynched.

Night 12 begins.

[Ramsus]

Well, that settles that I suppose.
