Hurt Bleeder, heal Taravangian 9. Bleeder- 34 15. Taravangian- 46 19. Mraize- 20

Hello, fellow LoTR fan! Have an upvote! (And don't eat the cookies; they Ruined them).

I'm pretty sure that Aman and Lopen are on separate teams, so this is a perfect Dula opportunity. Aman, use the Dula ability on Lopen. If he turns out Jeskeri, we've cleared you and also got grounds to scan or lynch Aonar. If he turns out village, we now have a vetted ChayShan ready to kill whomever is most suspicious. Another bulletin: I want to start making an in-thread list about who's claimed what. We can't have a player with 2 roles (as far as I know), so any player who has verified who they are is not a candidate for being a Practitioner, Acolyte, Philosopher, or the Elim!Duke. Player Name: Claimed Role/My certainty level (1-5) - HC if hard-cleared Alvron: Pirate/5 - HC Amanuensis: Dula/3 Aonar: Unclaimed Arraenae: Beggar => ??/2 Burnt Spaghetti: Unclaimed Conquestor: Pirate/5 - HC Elenion: Duke/5 Emerald: Bodyguard/1 Eolhondras: Unclaimed Kipper: Unclaimed Lopen: Chay-Shan/2 Orlok: Unclaimed Sart: Unclaimed Stink: Neutral with Defense Ability/4 The Silver Dragon: Noble/4 The Young Bard: Unclaimed If there have been any other public claims, please let me know.

Elenion suppressed a grin as the sword slightly dipped inside of his body. He'd have to remember that for later.

Elenion stepped forward, but was distracted by the fact that his shoes did not make any sound. He looked back up and refocused.

I see another Duke vote and don't like it. I've been the one to put in every Duke vote until now, and if a Duke has held their ability silent until now that probably means that they're an elim. The real question is this: did the elims Duke Ren to save Aman, or to deflect suspicion onto Aman? I think it's the latter; a reverse-LGG of sorts.
-
What?
-
I've been off for a bunch of hours, so I just caught up with what's happened since I last posted. What appears to have happened is Ren going on to attempt to leverage his position into a lynch on Aman. Aman, me, and multiple other players called him on it, and he hasn't posted since (that I've seen, I skimmed the last bit). Kipper's defense sounded legit to me, but I still have a strong village read on Aman ever since he helped me clean up the mess I got into earlier with Lopen, most of which was in PM but a fair amount of which spilled over into thread. With a strong village read on Aman and him dangerously close to the lynch, I cannot in good conscience vote on anybody but Ren.
-
Really, right now it's just gut; that's why I'm not voting with it. What you did was claim a master-PM that can only be vouched for by 1 other living player, something that could easily be arranged in a doc and rendered credible by the favorable gut-reads on you and some help by fellow elims. While chances of such a ruse are low, It's still possible. The list might have been very inaccurate, but a Jeskeri lynched by false suspicion counts as much as a Jeskeri lynched for outright lies. I think that may have been why Kipper responded so defensively.
-
Where did he claim neutral?
-
I'm ready to release Ren due to the arguments I've heard, but not ready to put my vote on Aman.
-
I can vouch for his role as well as that I have a strong village read on him.
-
The book specifically mentions this about Ialai, that her parents named her that because they were raising her to be perfect. Such parenting is bound to cause arrogance.

I have to go with Sadeas because he's got a track record of being a cremling. He's a repeat offender, and some of his schemes have come close to killing entire armies. He treats life as nothing, only pawns in his game. You also get to see the conditions of his army, and they're even worse than Amaram's. Going to Amaram, I'm not going to tell you he's a nice dude. He's pretty bad. But Amaram's biggest mistake, the one that people are going to hold over him, came in a moment of greed. Comparing Amaram to Sadeas is like comparing a killer motivated by passion to a hearless serial killer: one is much more likely to do it again. I also have to throw in Roshone. While nowhere near Sadeas' level, his exploitation of the weak (and a POV character) puts him up there with Amaram for me.
-
Even if STINK is suspicious, I think Ren is currently more so. We could try to tie the vote, but between Nobles and Merchants that might be hard, plus some players still aren't totally sure about my loyalty with my Duke vote. Overall, I think we should focus on Ren, then use that information to direct village Chay-Shans in the night.

a forum game with no name

Club party -
When Ashkelon awoke, his jaw was still throbbing from the mishap with the staff. Rolling out of bed to his left, he groaned as his feet hit the floor. He pulled out a knife and was in the midst of trimming down his toenails when he heard a scratching at the window. If that's another thief, things might get a bit dangerous for him. Grabbing his pre-cocked crossbow from the floor (he still hadn't found another carpenter to replace the one he'd attacked educated), Ashkelon crept up to the window and lifted the blinds, placing his crossbow to the window before his eye. He met the gaze of an extremely-confused painter, who'd been in the midst of putting a fresh coat of white on the inn's exterior. Speaking of the inn, I may as well pay the next couple weeks of my rent. Ashkelon grabbed some more of the money from the vault (it was getting rather low now), and went downstairs. He saw the interesting character from the first day (who everyone blamed the inn's strange colors on) in the lobby, but paid little heed because money was far more important to watch. But while he was downstairs, Ashkelon heard an abhorrent noise: the sound of beggars asking for money outside. But then, wicked idea in mind, Ashkelon ascended the stairs back to his room. The painter had climbed down his ladder for a break indoors, but had left his painting supplies in a bucket hung from a hook attached to the top rung of the ladder. Ashkelon opened the window, grabbed the suspended bucket, and hauled it into his apartment. Looking down as he did so, he could see the tops of the beggars' heads on the street below. Beggars: no better than tip-soliciting thieves! Taking careful aim into the street below, Ashkelon felt no remorse as he emptied the bucket of white paint over the beggars' heads.

But the problem is is that @STINK could also vote like a villager, and so lynching him could lose us the vote that--as you point out--we'd need to kill a Jeskeri. Besides, if you were STINK, who would you side with? He knows that if he votes as a block with the Jeskeri then we'll catch on and see him as vulnerable and expendable. The Jeskeri have no real motivation to attack STINK, so he's probably safer with us, unless we start advocating lynching him. I know: I did at one point agree that killing STINK would be logical, but a now-hard-cleared Elodin told me it was a chull idea, and now that every vote matters I'm inclined to agree with him.

Granted. However, you also develop a bad case of arthritis. I wish that I could travel to whatever time I wished. -
YA is the target audience, Fantasy is the genre. Some bookstores will shelve by audience and some by genre.

Ditto that last one. 9. Bleeder- 3415. Taravangian- 3219. Mraize- 35

For a non-native speaker your English is really good. And have the customary upvote.

Joe has corroborated your story and you are now back in my "Neutral Reads" category. The order is already in. I'm with Rae here, @Renegade. I have a few suspicions about Aman, but Orlok has corroborated his story so far. If you can punch a hole in it and prove that @Amanuensis lied I'm more than happy to switch my votes. A final note: a couple days ago (I could get the post if it proved important) I put a vote on Renegade due to Maill's info dump. @Kipper almost immediately tried to disprove the dump, and since I had no reason not to trust Kipper I retracted my vote. If Ren ends up being an elim, chances are Kipper is too.
-
Okay then, so it looks like Maill was indeed trolling us with that info. Here's my current suspicions: Emerald lied; that's provable by the GM. I'd suggest a Chay-Shan attack N4 on him unless he's got a good reason to have lied. I've had a strong village read on Aman all game, and Ren's bait theory is complete false-causality: Aman had no way to line up a massive action web without a doc or PM to do it in, and since the dead players were village we can rule out a doc, and since it was Night we can rule out a PM. The Practitioner must have targeted Aman to try to get him, Elodin, and the protector, and just got a few bonus kills in too. I'll be putting in my extra vote as a duplicate of whoever my lynch vote goes on, currently Ren.

Holy kolo! First off, can someone please explain how Elodin was a citizen when he openly claimed Jeskeri? But it seemed like he was working with the Practitioner, so alignment obfuscation sounds pretty likely to me. But I hope that he was the Jeskeris' only Chay-Shan. Next up, the Jeskeri are full-out elims, as I noted as a possibility earlier but then forgot to put into my calculations. Storms! Next, it appears that my attempt to forge an alliance with them was stupid. Well played, @Master Elodin. The outed Jeskeri appears to have been Jaime, but I'm not completely sure of that with what went on. But if that was the case, how was Jaime also a Citizen? More role obfuscation?
