Long Game 20: Warcamp Enigmas

[Nyali]

Okay, I actually read through the entire thread instead of skimming it. I even made a chart of who is suspicious of who for later reference. Reading through everything, Strawman comes across as being extremely suspicious. As far as I can tell, Strawman voted "randomly" for LUNA in his first post. The only other person at the time to have a vote was LUNA. When someone pointed out that he voted "randomly" for someone who already had a vote, he then said that he voted randomly with dice from among the people who had already been voted for. .... which was only LUNA at the time.

 

Then, later, he appears to have edited his first post to completely remove the vote for LUNA, rather than posting LUNA in green in a later post. Is editing the contents of earlier posts (ie: edits for anything other than grammar/spelling/formating) allowed? I thought that was against the rules as it deletes or changes valuable historical information like a forum-trolling Ruin.

 

 

In any case, though I normally prefer to vote for someone who hasn't spoken (instead of the person with the most posts so far), I'm going to have to votes for Strawman unless someone convinces me otherwise.

 

 

 

EDIT: Here's a list of the people who have not yet posted anything. Please let me know if I somehow missed someone posting earlier - some of the player list names don't match the forum names perfectly, so be nice to the new girl ^^;

Retracting a vote in an earlier post is about the only kind of editing that is really allowed. That said, I'd prefer if you posted a new post with a vote in green if you retract a vote. It's a lot easier for me to notice.

Good to know, thank you! I still feel that changing an earlier post so it completely hides who you voted for (or that you had even voted at all) is super suspicious, so my vote for Strawman stands.

This is indeed against the rules. Editing to green out a vote is fine. Removing the vote entirely and pretending like you didn't vote at all is not.

Yes, sorry, I didn't actually check the post at the time.

StrawMan, can you please put your vote back into your post? At that point, you can choose to retract it or not.

[Orlok Tsubodai]

May I ask why? Strawman is at least active, LUNA barely posts. That being said i'm not really in favor of lynching either of them..

 

Because I don't think Strawman's activity has been helpful - it seems ill thought through, and, as Joe quite rightly said, has taken too much attention from other players.

[yafeshan]

I was in scadrial around terris mountains last 2 days, now back to roshar.

 

I do not like throwing away random votes. As people said, random votes for 1st day is to poke people. Eliminators do not collectively try to remove that accidental vote because 1 post from the guy is enough to remove it.

 

I hope artifabrians make spranreeds and give to experienced players so the game can really begin with lots of PMs flying around.

[Mailliw73]

Clarification on the Order of Actions:

 

Declaring an Heir happens at the same time as Giving away items, though the actual transfer of items won't happen until the very end.

[Mailliw73]

4 hours left!

 

Current Vote Tally:

 

StrawMan(4): Nyali, Orlok, Joe, Hellscythe

Luna(1): Araris

Hellscythe(1): Wilson

Seonid(1): Mark

Mark(1): Elkanah

Sorry for my inactivity! I've been busy these last two days and haven't had the time(or computer) to get on. I'll  try to catch up on everything   later tonight.

Itachi walked through his door and sat next to his wife Papaya. "After much thought I've decided to name an heir to the family, my love" he said to his wife as he looked into her eyes passionately. After a little more small talk the couple heard a knock on the door. Itachi promptly stood up and answered it.

 

Through the door came Itachi's good friend Mr.Hellscythe accompanied by his stunning girl friend Ms.Luna Arryn. "Hello my friends, im glad that you could make it today" Itachi exclaimed "I have some good news". He looked at Hellscythe and smiled "I've decided to make you my heir Hellscythe". Itachi turned to Papaya and gave her a kiss "This beautiful lady and I have talked about it and we decided you were the best choice" he said confidently. 

 

After a nice meal the two couples called it a night. "Good night you two, be safe traveling home!", stated Itachi, "Oh and Luna next time you're over you must show me the poems you've been working on". Itachi closed the door, gave a sigh of relief and went to the bedroom with his wife. Itachi had felt confident in the choice of Hellscythe as his heir and the stress of the world seemed a little less heavy now.

I Choose Hellscythe as my heir

Star Thief was sitting on top of a barrel, eating a piece of bread. It was a pretty good piece of bread, the inside all warm and fluffy while the outside had a nice crunch to it. It was still hot, seeing as it had been stolen from one of the few bakers in the war camp, and Star Thief was still keeping an eye out to see if anyone was still following her.  Seeing nothing, Star Thief licked the last few breadcrumbs from her fingers and jumped down from her barrel. Now, she thought to her self, I need to go and find some of those ghostbloods that I keep hearing about, they probably have a bunch of shines that I can, um, borrow with out the intention of ever giving it back.

What did it say at that point? He's edited it since your post:

Hi! Mr. Die says that Mailliw must die!

Still not clarifying there was a vote there for LUNA which was removed.

 

StrawMan, can you please explain your reasons for voting only on someone who's already got a vote? And why you didn't restore your original vote as requested?

[Kynedath]

Hey, guys, I don't have enough time to actually analyze anything, so I won't cast a vote, but I should be on more next cycle, so yay! Again, sorry about this, but my time constraints are ridiculous at the moment.

[Straw]

I choose Wilson as my heir.

Edit: Changed Mailliw to Wilson

Strawman. Even if you aren't a Ghostblood, you are not being helpful at all.

[Straw]

That's my job.

[Mailliw73]

I choose Mailliw as my heir.

This is not a valid action, just so everyone knows.

Night 1: Violet Wine

In reaction to the death of the king, the nobility gathered for a party. It may have seemed to be the wrong reaction to death, but they were keeping their moods light, celebrating the life of Brightlady Kenara, before they’d have to focus on Naladar’s death and replacing him.

At the celebration, some of the nobility had had too much of the violet wine. Taken under its influence, they swayed about, shouting slurred accusations. One yelled to the sky, screaming at the Stormfather that he had killed the king. Most of the others ignored her, but Ardel and Voldemort focused on her, probably having had too much wine themselves. They began blaming her instead. The others all watched the man who must not be named, wondering why he seemed sober, yet his behavior was that of a drunkard. At one point, he even tried to declare the Stormfather his heir.

Whispered rumors spread around the room. “Moldy there is one of the Ghostbloods, didn’t you know?”

“What was his name again? Something Vorto or Moldy or Demour?”

“I can’t remember either. He doesn’t tell people his name.”

“What happened to his nose?”

“What nose?” The pair laughed, not sure why Voldemort was so out of the ordinary. No one even knew what position he held or what he was doing amongst the nobility.

“‘Ello everyone!” Brightness Kenara began her thank you speech. “I have had the honour and privilege of you all attending my banquet. Thank you all for coming to my posh bash. Don’t forget to have some of the biscuits and crisps. They were imported all the way from Shinovar.”

Sometime during her speech, Subadon stood up and began to yell inanities about ruling the world and proscriptions against the Stormfather. The clouds above rumbled a warning at his words. “Lady Kenara, thank y’all for your fantastic speech. But as proud Alethi, we don’t eat biscuits! ‘Lethkar is the best nation! King Naladar used to ride chasmfiends bare-chested with three Shardblades in his hands. We eat cookies here, not biscuits, right, y’all?” Everyone stared in awe and dismay. They knew that Subadon had been planning on retiring soon and, as such, had become lax in following the Codes, but no one thought he’d let himself drink that much.

Kenara stood in shock for a moment before summoning her guards to escort Subadon outside. As the guards left, the remaining guests began surrounding the noseless man. “Voldy, what are you doing?” One asked as the man began changing what he was saying, accusing Luna, then no one, then the Stormfather himself before reverting back to Luna.

“It’s my job,” he replied. He had taken upon himself the role of the King’s Fool. “The Wit was taken, so I became the Fool.”

Still suspicious, the crowds surrounded him. Voldemort used his Reverser to try to repulse the crowd, but it only worked on one. The rest managed to grab him. They pulled him outside the party, and summoned Highprince Dalinar. The Blackthorn, they called him. The man was a beast of war and perfect for killing the traitors.

“Highprince Kholin,” Brightness Arisia began, “We believe this man is one of the Ghostbloods who killed the king last night.” Dalinar looked on in silence. “He’s been accusing wildly, basing his accusations on claims of dice, but we can’t find any on him.” The Blackthorn considered and then agreed that the pale man deserved death. Making light of the king’s death and of the Stormfather himself was not only heresy, but easily worthy of death. Summoning his Shardblade, the Highprince counted the ten heartbeats aloud, giving Voldemort his final countdown. On ten, the Blackthorn’s hands swung down in one smooth motion, one only a practiced killer could make. Voldemort’s eyes lost all life instantly. His body went limp and the Highprince examined his body for the triple diamond tattoo that marked one as belonging to the Ghostbloods. It wasn’t anywhere to be found. Voldemort had been a loyal noble.

Voldemort(ThatTinyStrawMan) was lynched! He was a Noble with a Reverser.

Oh, believe me, he is. We already discussed this after I put yours and his character's summaries in. Apparently, I'll have a kill order out on me in 20 years.  

[LUNA]

I am enjoying the write up haha. 

 

Also, DeathClutch, I just read your post in the last cycle and I greatly appreciate that you (1.) put me in your write up with HS, (2.) think I am stunning, and (3.) would like to read my poetry. I'm sure you'll get to read it when it is finished.
