Sorry, must've missed that. ~~Ramsus~~, then. And Lex?

Count Dingdong · 10-02-2012, 10:15 AM

No one at 4 votes yet. Just saying.

Gray Mage · 10-02-2012, 06:59 PM

Sorry, Forum Explorer. Gotta have a lynch.

Forum Explorer · 10-02-2012, 07:05 PM

I'd rather not die so Planswalker

C'nor · 10-02-2012, 07:07 PM

I'll vote for Planswalker too.

Edit:...Aaand I just realized I was voting for the narrator before. Whoops.

planswalker · 10-02-2012, 07:16 PM

Knew it was a risk to speak up, but I'd rather us lynch a town on day 1 than not have a voting pattern to look at.

besides, then I get to try coming back as a clueless newcomer

Ramsus · 10-02-2012, 07:45 PM

Well, with a statement like that you're probably a non-power role town or a bluffing wolf so, yeah, I guess for you, today is a good day to die.

planswalker · 10-02-2012, 07:55 PM

yeah, looks like.

Count Dingdong · 10-02-2012, 08:37 PM

Day 1

"Hey, listen to me! I have a plan to get out of this mess. You see, vote me Mayor. I have the power to protect all of you, if only you would trust me just this much. C'mon, a little compromise here?" A Candidate stands in front of crowd, appealing to villagers, desperate to keep town together. "Simply tell me what you need; I will make it happen. You want these perpetrators gone? Fine. I'll begin rooting them out right away."

Lynch mob continues watching, some murmuring, agreeing, some not. Voices cry out: "He's suspicious!" "What does she know?" "I heard this guy killed the Gatekeeper..." "You know, I've always had my eye on him..." "Lynch him! Lynch him!" The chaos reaches a max as a Scapegoat is pushed to the front of the crowd. "No, it wasn't me! It's a lie! Don't trust them! It's not too late to change your mind! Ahhhh!"

"Calm down, calm down. Let's not be too hasty. We haven't even procured the rope. It's not a lynch without rope!" The crowd begins to calm down in confusion and acceptance. That is, until another man speaks up, this one the Executioner. "That's what I'm here for. You need axe, I kill. All evil must die!" He walks up to the Scapegoat, pulling a heavy axe from his back and holding the resisting man down. "Relax. It will only hurt... a lot."

...a thud is heard as a Watcher cackles in the darkness. "Hahaha! Fountains, public, public, death! Not for you, me, you, us, who? Muahahahah!!! Hehehehe..." The cackles fade as the man slips away, and an onlooker looking up may see silhouette in window above, moving hands, mumbling, watching out. To the square, the tragic square.

From far away, on gates of the city, man looks down, shaking his head slightly, Youth at his side, scribbling notes and handing them to the Elder. "Things aren't always what they seem, I hear. It may not-" might be heard as sound is carried down by the wind. The Elder turns and nods, beckoning the Youth down stairs behind them, fading out of sight, an onlooker not knowing when to expect them next. In silent, another man creeps into the village, trying to escape notice.

In houses all around, villagers fall silent, night descends. But for the scarce few awake, those who use ritual protection, talismans, fortune. Those who roll bones, dice, looking into spheres, water, for hope of savior from this insanity. Many groups meet, in darkness, obscurity, and discuss what to do, planning for days ahead, when events become much more hectic than those of that day. Night falls on the careless village.

...Question! Did the first day matter if the Scrapegoat was going to go off anyways?

Yes, first day mattered. Scapegoat was going to die, but could have been any one of you.

Ramsus · 10-02-2012, 09:34 PM

What does that mean?

Count Dingdong · 10-02-2012, 09:36 PM

Means you should figure out what it means for yourself.

Hint: read the rules. Carefully.

usourselves&we · 10-02-2012, 09:41 PM

A name is a name, and something game-y made no one die?

Ramsus · 10-02-2012, 09:41 PM

The only thing I saw is that there are Bystander roles that we don't know what are. I didn't see any kind of note that says anything about us possibly lynching nonexistent people.

Narrations are narrations. Anything could happen. Characters exist, some that fit roles, some that don't. One of them may happen to die in no-lynch/no NK situation. Or be extra death during a lynch/NK.

usourselves&we · 10-02-2012, 09:58 PM

Looks like the game may have started with one bystander of unknown powers.

Original roles list fourteen people. or we are way too tired to count properly.

or something narrator-ish happened? walker was the one with most votes right? was there a unnoticed tie? is this legitimate or fobar?

Count Dingdong · 10-02-2012, 10:07 PM

Game started with no Bystanders. All original roles in opening post. This is legitimate. Yes, planswalker had most votes. That should answer those questions.

Also, probably favorite way to start off this game: unexpected things. Wait for all the other roles to come in. This will get interesting.

Penguinator · 10-02-2012, 10:09 PM

I'm trying to figure out if we didn't hit lynch majority due to Clueless Newcomer votes being discarded. I think the only one on planswalker was C'Nor, so that leaves a tie. (I didn't look close at who voted for Forum Explorer)

By that logic, we 1) have no executioner or 2) have an executioner that didn't want to be stupid and kill someone important with no information.

planswalker · 10-03-2012, 01:12 AM

Actually, I was protected from being day killed. Knew that all along, had been trying to avoid us lynching someone random and hitting a power role. Ideally, we instead would have taken out forum explorer, whom I think is a wolf, but oh well. Figured it was better to get risk getting targeted to point out the hole in explorer's logic. I'd rather tip my hand now and establish a voting pattern.

He planned this! Villagers don't have plans! Kill him!

planswalker · 10-06-2012, 05:57 AM

if you really are hellbent on lynching town tomorrow, I can't stop you. I really did screw up by sticking my head up on day one. Without anything else to go on, y'all are just gonna rush to lynch whatever talks the most.

since I'd rather get night killed on night 2 than waste town's time getting day killed, let me go ahead and explain WHY I didn't get lynched: I am a mason, specifically Mason A.

Quote:

Masons x3 - These players know who each other are. Because of their camaraderie, they trust and protect each other. ...for first day/night, that is... One is founder of the Secret Society.

Count Dingdong said so explicitly. Masons can't be day or night killed for day/night 1. They protect each other.

Look through the rules... there is no other way I could have been protected from getting lynched day 1.

Count Dingdong · 10-06-2012, 09:39 AM

What planswalker said. Noted in rules and assumed word "protection" was sufficient to imply bane. Sorry that wasn't clear, thought it was. And wans't sure how much to confirm about another's role.

For Night 1: think I have all roles gave targets, but am giving 24 hour extension just in case people haven't noticed forum back up. 24 hours from this post is deadline for fina decisions.

Ramsus · 10-06-2012, 06:51 PM

I read that three times and somehow glossed over the mention of night and thought it was just flavor for saying they're masons and thus will vote like masons. >_<

planswalker · 10-06-2012, 11:08 PM

I had been hoping I could have deflected suspicion without revealing myself, but unless the day 1 clueless includes a baner, I'm dead on night 2.

Count Dingdong · 10-07-2012, 09:58 AM

Night 1

In dark of night, Advisor speaks to following, obscured by shadow, any newcomers unknown. "A new day is dawning on this fragile town. Under new leadership, we will transform it into something mighty, something much better. But to do so, there can be no opposition, none who know the reality. No one can be in our way, understand?" Nods or not, can it be told in darkness? "Listen well, as I tell you the plan, and who shall be the first to die. There's a group, they call themselves..." So continues, on into night, but enough as we move to yet another, group kept in obscurity, for safety, to survive.

Abandoned warehouse, dim candlelight, hoods covering faces, the leader and Founder detailed only by symbols on his cloak. From the circle, if three can be called that, a Member, a voice: "They're catching on. We were more, so much more, and yet they're turning us on each other. How many dead, so quickly? When will they notice? It was almost to hard to protect one of our own, me, today. This cannot go on much longer. When will they arrive?" From the cowl, echoing voice resounds, calming yet disturbing at the same time, and who had seen his face? "Patience, they will arrive. Soon or not, they will make a difference. We will make a difference, as much we can. Organize, and the rest will follow. They will send the information. Soon..." Again conversation, throughout the night, undisturbed, as we move to the last, our final group.

Group though it may be called, network is better. For those alone, passing notes and fragments, hints and clues. Never meeting, trapped in silence. The Information loses a few. In one, a man, riffling through papers. He cries, "Aha! This must be it!" until face turns down in dismay, as the lead goes nowhere. The sad Fool, unsure of where to go. In another, a man places papers on a table, scratching his head, rolling dice, and piecing things together. The Leader, some may call his deductions magical, even classifying him as soothsayer. But the dice are just habit, and night goes on in thought. The third house visited is empty, of life at least. Blood covers floor as man sleeps eternal rest, information shredded and looted around house. At fourth, a man, disheveled, cackles in astonished laughter. Madman, though we call him, his role in Network is unparalleled. What he sees in Advisor, none may know, or what his presence here, in another's house, may mean. Dead body swaying as clockwork in rafters may tell, but who would know?

Paranoia reigns as night brings victims to add to the count and more enter town to end up same. Returning to Advisor, conversation ends, and day breaks over village. "...will all die. The secret cannot be told. For the sake of us all, it cannot be let out. Once was too much, and I have seen the horror. Trust my judgement, and we will all be safe. Now, I must leave. I have other duties to attend to." Dawn, and a new choice, of who to be rid of, of who to kill. Who will they choose? The rest is up to them, the village, that careless, careless village.

Spoiler

*Disclaimer: Random people may die at a whim. Non-random people won't. And plot furthers itself, with slight adjustment from player RP.*
**Disclaimer 2: Like most villages, this is not made up of only important people. Important ones are you. Rest are sheep, to-be-newcomers, or plot devices.**
