    "Ashkelon slept poorly, constantly awakened by the clink of coins falling onto the floor from under his mattress. It was a long night for him, plagued by fears created by the dreadful incident of the cult yesterday, further exacerbated by rumors of strange plans going into motion. Ashkelon was well-acquainted with such rumors; they seemed to follow him, as though his very personality enhanced their vitality. At least, that's what he preferred to think. Upon entering the senate building in the morning (slightly-late, as usual), he was struck by the silence that was there, the fear. His black, beady eyes scanned the room, counting faces. It did not take him long to realize that they were one senator short: Jaina. 'Jaina?' Ashkelon asked, unwilling to accept what his eyes saw, 'Where is Jaina?' But he already knew the answer: the only reason that could cause such a vibrant and argumentative group of senators to hang their heads in dread. A single senator met his gaze and shook their head, slowly. Ashkelon swore loudly."

    I am more than aware of your suspicions of me; however, they don't appear to be based on anything concrete. Sure, Bard and I made the final decision. But we didn't know that would be the case until right before turnover; it just so happened that Jaime, El, and Aman all had things to do, unless you want to imply that the entire senate is a collaborating group of elims; if so you're fighting odds to the effect of about 0.102% (that's based on 7 Jeskeri cultists put into 5 senate positions in a field of 19 players, since the Derethi most likely don't even have 5 people).

    The Derethi weren't covering their friend unless both Cloud and Elbereth are Derethi, and that would have taken some serious gambling on the return from that scan, because the chance that a Derethi started in the Senate is low, and the chance that they got the results even smaller. I think it's more likely that they knew that neither Cloud nor Conq were Derethi and so just bandwagoned on Conq (who already had more votes at the time), leaving Young Bard and I to use the senate inspection vote on Cloud. Funny enough, that in itself cleared you from the scan, Eramit. @jaimeleecee Looking at the votes, between Bard and I we could have taken away 5 votes from Conq and handed them all to Cloud, putting him in a position to look like the definite choice of the populace. Since I hinged my vote on his (see above), we could have saved a Cultist easily. Bard is clean from my suspicions of Cultism. To everyone: You guys might not know this about me yet, but I am an extreme math nerd. As such, I crunched some probabilities about the Derethi having one or more members starting in the senate. Here's my results: (I used 19 people in the game; is that right?) Chance of 1+ members of a 4-Derethi group starting in 5-man Senate: 69.33% Chance of 2+ members of a 4-Derethi group starting in 5-man Senate: 12.87% Chance of 1+ members of a 3-Derethi group starting in 5-man Senate: 60.91% Chance of 2+ members of a 3-Derethi group starting in 5-man Senate: 7.85% If you have any questions about my math, just ask.

    Really it was Bard and I who finalized the lynch last night; between the two of us we could have pushed the vote to Cloud or to Conq. I was waiting for his input, and would have gone along with whomever he called. So yes, it really was him who pushed the lynch to Conq.

    @Metacognition Landlords can only add extra votes for senate elections and recalls, not lynches. It's in the character description in the OP. @OrlokTsubodai and @Metacognition, here's my responses: Okay everyone, sorry for the inactive stretch. I signed off last night, woke up early for MTM, napped due to sleep deprivation, attended presidency meeting, caught my church block, and now am finally out. I will be off again from 5 pm to 6:30 (mountain time) due to a home teaching appointment and dinner. As for voting me out, I know that I am clearly suspicious. I changed my vote around a lot, for the purpose of scaring people into speaking up, just like you have done with me now (nice tactic, by the way). My alignment is village, although I understand that that doesn't really say much because I'd say that even if I was an eliminator. Now for my response to being voted out: It really depends on what you want. If you want a character in the senate who is not an eliminator while still being aggressive enough to pressure them into making a mistake, I'm your man. If you disapproved of my voting scare tactics and think I'm too aggressive (or even think that I'm an eliminator) I would suggest you vote against me. I'm happy with either result: the senate has more power but also has a much higher risk of being sacrificed by a cultist next night. [And for those past-thread-scanners out there, I've gotten over my leaving-senate paranoia.]

    "It was almost nightfall when Ashkelon arrived back at his house. He had spent a long day at the senate, but it had seemed shorter due to all of the excitement. He himself had never believed in the wild rumors about the Jeskeri Cult, but he was proved wrong when, after a long day of inquisitions and testimony, Lorienthe admitted to membership. 'Holy kolo!' Ashkelon thought as the unfortunate cultist was led away to be executed, 'If this keeps up it could really affect my investments!" Never once did Ashkelon fear for his life, but he feared for his money every minute.' For convenience, here's the senate kolos: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fdCOQLGqPIrCEC5nbBxGz34hdYPfDs1Gj4TRrg4uwGM/edit?usp=sharing (don't worry, it's not a rickroll, kolo?)

    Good stuff. Great to see Ashkelon survive his first day.

    I am more than happy to explain myself. About the votes on Bard, I placed both of them in order to put pressure on him. I actually wrote a whole paragraph on my reasoning in the Senate document, and you can read the entire thing there. When I took them away it was because he had passed my test (while Cloudjumper had failed Bard's). If I was planning something to exonerate Bard, then I probably would have made it more than a little less obvious. The whole "gambling and lost" was simply me noting that I had used my vote in what I thought would be a formidable, 5-vote attack on Seonid, only to have it ended and my vote rendered ineffective ("lost"). I then retracted my vote to keep it open for others, taking my assets out of my failed attack. When Bard voted for Seonid, I was glad to have my vote back, but held it since Bard was not ready for something as aggressive as a bandwagoned senate vote. Besides, if it really was me planning something with the eliminators then I'd have a better doc for it! And about the caring about the senate, I was being paranoid (and I still am, though less). I was enjoying my senate position due to Aman (at least I think it was Aman)'s proposition that we keep current senators in office with bodyguards, and so losing my office became synonymous with getting murdered in the dead of night, because I am not a defense role. Go ahead and lynch me if you want, but you won't accomplish anything except putting a much-needed villager body on the gallows.
  10. Elenion
    Can you provide us senators an alternate lynch target? I see you haven't used your lynching vote yet.
  11. Elenion
    Since Cloudjumper could be a valuable asset, I'm shifting my vote to Conquestor. However, the distrust level is still high.
  12. Elenion
    Your plan sounds good until you look at the probabilities. At the start, chances are that one, no more than two of the senators are eliminators. However, by placing only two or three people on the senate, a single eliminator that passes the vetting process (with the help of his friends, or course) has a much higher influence on the senate than now, when he only commands 20% of the vote. Besides, how would we know if the proposed people are actually defenders or just puppets propped up by the Derethi or Cultists? By scan? In my opinion that's a waste of scans; an inside man can lie about the results. My opinion is that the scans are better used for identifying eliminators outside of the senate (although I'm not asking you to assume that I'm a villager; I'll prove that in time). Edit: In addition, now everyone knows Cloudjumper's (claimed) role. Assuming he is a duelist, he will most likely be killed in the next few nights. If he is not a duelist, he will be killed by lynch. I'd personally hate to waste our senate investigation on a practically-dead character.

    It appears that Straw is inactive, so I'm switching my vote here to cloudjumper (my reasons can be found in the senate document).
  14. Elenion
    Good with me; my senate scan is still on rabble-rousing Eramit.
  15. Elenion
    A list of current thread votes exists in the Senate doc.

    He took on that single Balrog (actually Gothmog, lord of the Balrogs) in a one-on-one duel, but his sword was shattered in the fighting. He rammed the spiked top of the helmet into the Balrog's chest, and both fell into a large pool. The Balrog's fire was quenched, but Ecthelion died from a combination of burns, the fall, and drowning.
  17. Elenion
    Okay @The Young Bard this lynch train does seem a bit bizarre. I'm clearing your Mysterious Figure and instead poke-voting Straw. Haven't seen him yet.
  18. Elenion
    You seemed aggressive enough to me, and so I'm holding my non-senate vote on you because you strike me as a Cultist, and they eat senators like me for breakfast. However, I have rescinded my Senate vote on you.

    From the exact same computer it works on Firefox, making me think it's a Chrome problem.

    "Ashkelon mused thoughtfully. He was already enjoying the benefits of a senator's salary, although he knew that if he lingered around in the senate for too long he might not live to spend it. The small part of his mind that wasn't thinking about his next purchase was focused on the suspicious Mysterious Figure (The Young Bard) who stuck out on the senate floor. 'I have a bad feeling about that one', Ashkelon thought, before returning to count his stacks of money." And @cloudjumper, check the current senate document. The lynch votes on you have been negated.

    Funny enough, I can see the ball and the last.fm, just not the text. The text only shows up as sig.svg.

    I've never had any major problems with my PC, but all of my acquaintances seem to have them, so I erred on the side of giving one to the opposition.
  23. Elenion
    What religion are you, if you don't mind my asking? You use some different religious terms than I am used to, and am wondering which religion I need to learn more about.
  24. Elenion
    Depression.

    @Mestiv Your signature is also broken for me; I am using a PC browsing on Google Chrome. It may have something to do with the failure of my computer to open the hyperlink on the previous page.
