(Okay guys....there are 4 hours left in the day and no one has voted. Bad people...show love for Cobra's game. )

That being said, I really don't know who is a rebel. I don't think that we can really use the llama vote for analysis, since it was so one sided....I would guess that any rebel would have hopped on the llama bandwagon to give themselves more credibility later on, especially once it was clear he was going to be lynched.

So with that in mind, *Alarra points at pingcode20
He voted for Magtok originally, and when the bandwagon really started rolling, he switched over to the llama. Somewhat suspicious.

And yes....I realize that I did the same thing, and that this will likely throw suspicion back on me as well....but I am secure in my innocence, and really have no other leads to go on right now, and no one else is offering up anything. So, if someone else has any better logic....

Castaras looks from Pingcode to Alarra. She scratches her head.

Hmm...you both have valid arguements, but you're just pointing at each other. I'm putting my bets on Gezina, who keeps jumping onto bandwagons.

Dusk falls on a crowd arguing fiercely over who to kill. But the crowd is small in size, and most end up heading home. In the end, the crowd dissolves, having slain none.

In the royal courts, a similar absence of members makes it impossible to even convene the courts, much less hold a vote for execution.

((Synopsis: No one voted enough. :( Night ends at 9:00 PM Tuesday))

I can verify that the guards aren't rebels yet. And I can trust a number of others.

The fact that people can be converted does indeed increase that risk.

Actually, you designed this game so that it was easier to get people verified.
Satrting someone on day one that everyon knows is safe just gives all the players a place to start instead of keeping them guessing.

I'm pretty damn sure that on days one and two the Emperor's inbox was filled to capacity....

(Asarth, half of the fun is trying to find evidence even when its not there. Take a guess. The worst that can happen is they lynch you as opposed to not guessing where the worst that can happen is a game that dies from lack of interest. Trust me. It'll be more fun if you take a chance.)

Dawn breaks over the city. The people are greeted with the mutilated corpse of Gezina on the steps. The court mandate given to her to spy on the rebellion has a message of hate scrawled on it in blood.

((Synopsis: Gezina, the Court-Appointed Investigator, has been slain. I'm running out of ideas, and wouldn't mind a co-narrator, if any of you would like. Sorry!

Oh, and daylight ends at 9:00 AM Thursday.))

Castaras wakes up and heads outside.

Gezina!


She quickly moves over, being barred by the guards.

Who did this? Who?

Looking over the votes, I've noticed that Asarth, you have been jumping on band wagons near the end...

I have a feeling that you are a rebel.

But - what if you're saying that just to protect a fellow rebel?

Her finger shifts between Pingcode and Asarth, before remaining with Asarth.

What if he converted?

Before he can even step between his sandwich board and start relaying the news of the night, Joosbawx stops and notices the finger pointed at him. "You just angry that Llama made a better offer and I've been touting the wonders of his Meatless Meat Pies instead of you Non-Dairy Sugarfree Pudding Emporium."

Joosbawx levels his finger at Krursk. "You have said precious little and by trying to be off the radar you've put yourself on mine."

Hmm, Joos has a point, y'know.

She turns to look at the silent Krusk, lowering her finger from Asarth.

Well?
