Empire

[Trog]

Here we go. Here we go with the pointing. This is how it always starts. With the pointing. Always with the pointing and the red talking. My cousin talked in red once. Of course he had synesthesia. But that's not the point. He was burned as a witch. Amusing little story. Involves a particularly heavy duck amongst other things. Ask me later when I'm feeling chatty. Right now I need to sit down and rest.

*Sits down with a loud noise.* Ooooooy. You kids with your pointing and fancy clothes and your crop rotation. You want with the pointing? Fine. I'll point.

*raises a gnarled hand and points at Goblin Music*

[Miatog]

“A man who would point a finger for no reason. Then, when this person gets fingers pointed at him he withdraws his accusation? He is either a fool, a rebel, or simply a dangerous man. Either way I say that we should remove him from us.” Miatog points his finger at Goblin Music.

[Castaras]

Castaras looks at the roaring masses pointing at Goblin Music. She shrugs, and points at Goblin Music

[Shadow]

((I typed up a big long speech with quotes and everything, but by the time I was finished my log in had expired and I'm too lazy and tired right now to re-type it. The bottom line was.....))

*Shadow points at Warpfire777*

[Ceika]

Ceika gallops up on a large black and white warhorse, looking none too pleased.

Might I inquire as to what this is about? Here I am, about to set sail, and I receive a summons to the empire? I care not for the businesses and politics inland! Someone has died? Well, though it's unfortunate, I really don't see how that involves me... Is that what the summons was for?

She glares at those around her as she dismounts and folds her arms across her chest.

I'll do what I can to help, but next time, perhaps you'll leave the business of the empire to those who care one way or another? I don't really keep up with the goings on here, but I'd say that he *Ceika points at Goblin Music* seems a bit suspicious.

((I didn't even know I was playing this game until I saw the roster... I'll play this round, but I've not had much computer access lately, and may not for a little while still. I'd appreciate it, in the future, if I am not signed up without my consent. ))

[Kyrian]

I must admit that he does seem most suspicious in the little time known since we've all been gathered here. Let us hope these suspicions lead us true.

Kyrian points at Goblin Music.

[Goblin Music]

((what is this about being locked up? it is die by villager, die by crusader, or win is it not?))

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

That's an awfully suspicious thing to say. It may even be too obvious. Well, we don't have anything else to go on, so...
*Tentatively points at El Jaspero*

El Jaspero gives a wry smile. "I'm afraid you read far too much into my statement. I was merely commenting that Lancelot was once a great hero, verily the right hand of our noble king; it's sad and surprising to see that he's turned against us." he finishes filling his buckets at the river, then shakes his head sadly. "It's far too early to be making such wild accusations, far too early." He shoulders the buckets and heads back up the hill to Butterlarracup's farm.

[Eldritch Knight]

Ohh... I don't know..... Malmagor seems like such a nice fellow.....Oh, perhaps it would be best if I pointed at someone else.....

EK points at Goblin Music

[Supagoof]

((Sorry, I'd put a more in character post here, but I'm off to by a new bed. So I'll quickly point to avoid auto lynching.))

*points at Goblin Music*

[Xaspian]

Hmmm... I'll go with the consensus. I see no reason not to.

*points at Goblin Music*

[Warpfire]

Warpfire turns to Shadow, suprised. "Good sir, why do you point at me?"

[Shadow]

"Simply put, my good sir, because you stated that you thought that he was suspicious....

Warpfire continues to ponder the situation. "Indeed, anyone who points at people without giving reason is probably a rebel, and certainly dangerous...." *snip

"And then you agreed that he was probably not a rebel....

*snip* Goblin Music may be innocent...but its more likely than not an innocent man will die today. Those rat-bastard rebels are probably going to cause the death of many an innocent man before this is over. *snip*

"And still you kept your opinion that he should be eradicated from this Empire.
That alone is enough for me to suspect you.
Then take into account the fact that the rebellion is so new that we simply have nothng to go on and as such will probably hang a loyalist this day. My vote will be cast in a different direction."

((fingers fly in the first round and there's hardly ever going to be a good reason for it.))

[edit] This is similar to what I wrote last night when I got home from work, but that one had Trog listed as well and I was trying to decde... It was about twice as long.

[Warpfire]

"But I never said anything besides that he was probably a rebel, and at least dangerous. I never said anything about his innocence. Can you read minds, then?"

[Shadow]

"You're the purple mind flayer, not me. How come you didn't just read my thoughts to find out my reasons, I wonder.... Could it be that you're a rebel posing as a simple man posing as a purple mind flayer posing as a rebel posing as a simple man?

I'm getting a headache."

[Warpfire]

"So am I." Warpfire rubs his head. "At least someone finally got the color of my skin right." He mutters something about 'not pink..'

[Raistlin1040]

((Still missing votes.))

[Castaras]

(( 21 out of 35 votes...14 more votes. Just post the night, dammit! ))

[Raistlin1040]

((1 more hour until I'll post it. Everyone who hadn't voted will recieve an asterisk.))

[Cobra_Ikari]

((Isn't there a "more than 50%, fast execute" rule? With no requirement for all votes, and not counting as one of the two for autolynch?))

Ikari looks at the angry gathering of citizens and tries to place who's missing.

After all...the murderer might've had a late night while he was getting poor Raistlin...

[Raistlin1040]

((Ehh. I'm kind of winging this. If I miss a lot of votes in the next hour, I'll chalk it up to first day. If all but 1-2 miss it, they will be counted as a day of inactivity.))

[Shadow]

((I don't mean to sound like a crybaby nitpicker, but could everyone please stop posting in red dialogue text? It's hard to do a quick tally of votes when you do because it looks like your pointing in every post, even when you're not. Please?))

[Cobra_Ikari]

(Are you referring to Miatog's red? Or my brick color? Or both?))

[Raistlin1040]

((Alright. I'm going to say that because this is the first day, no one gets any inactivity strikes))

The sun begins to set and the first day of carnage has begun. The peasants drag Goblin Music in chains to the guillotine. They place his head down. He cries out I'm innocent! Innocent I say! Please don't kill me! I'm just a goblin. Not a rebel. The mob doesn't listen to him. They let the blade drop, and Goblin Music's head is severed from his body. The peasants quickly rush to his house. Inside they find a few farming tools, a pack of potatoes, and a tuba. No sign of any rebellious nature

Summary: Goblin Music, a peasant, was killed.

Night begins. All special roles, use your skills. Night ends Tommorow at 9:30 PM GMT.

[Cobra_Ikari]

Ikari sadly looks at his hands.

I didn't want him killed...just to spend a few days cooling his heels. This...this is my fault.

He sadly returns to his empty home and thinks sadly on Goblin.

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

Farmhand Jaspero shakes his head. "Just an innocent life, as I'd feared. Buttercup will not be pleased when I inform her." He sighs and heads back to the farmhouse.

((I'll admit not reading your rules completely in-depth, but in normal Werewolf games one only has to point every other day to avoid inactivity. If you expect us to vote every day cycle you'd best let us know, Raistlin.))

[Raistlin1040]

((Yes. It's the same here. However I'd like for everyone to post as often as possible. But you only need to point every other day.))

[Castaras]

Castaras bows her head sadly. She pours a goblet of white wine.

Here is to Goblin Music, for giving us courage in this dark hour.

She raises her goblet in a toast, swigs down the wine, and heads for her home, thinking hard.

[Warpfire]

Warpfire shakes his head regretfully. "This should not have happened...but I must take my share of blame. I pointed with the rest of them." He sighs and sadly makes his way home.
