Aspren

Warkel, I'm currently in contact with a Priest (since they've confirmed my role). As it's too much of a risk admitting to for them to admitting to being the priest in public, I'll be speaking for them (or at-least until I'm dead. Which will probably be soon). In any case, there are a few points I want to make: Firstly: If I could please direct all of your attention to Nepene's first post (link) If you are a villager It's my hope that you'll understand what I mean when I say that the way that Nepene phrased that post was odd. I don't think it'd be wise to say more than that in public. Contact me if you do get it. Second: Being that in this game this game the votes are submitted by PM, the Followers have less information to work with in terms of which direction the votes are going to swing. If they thought it likely that one of their own would be voted for they would do as much as they could to make sure that they wouldn't be voted out. That's why it's highly likely that the Followers would need to put their votes together to ensure that the person they want to be voted out instead, is voted out. For that reason, I believe that at-least two of the people that voted for Aodan (Faidh) are Followers. Since Gamma is dead that leaves Alvron (Ratel), Nepene and Kai. I've contacted Alvron in to see what he had to say. While he did take a while to reply to my PM (which I had sent in the beginning of the second cycle), and didn't do anything to dispel my suspicion of him (which isn't to say that that I confirmed that he is a Follower, just that he was defensive when I hadn't even accused him) there's no clear evidence to suggest that he is a Follower. Currently have no better suspicions than what I have for those three. Warkel, Where did you see that it was said that there are three Followers?

I was active, but It seems I logged in a few minutes too late to vote. That said, I was going to vote for Nepene.

Oh, I noticed that. I mainly want to know whether that was all of the votes, or just the ones pertaining to who was lynched? Or is that why you mention Nepene and Ratel? You say that Ratel said "they" were avoiding the scene of the crime. Is that referring just to Nepene or also Gamene and Grey pilgrim. Does that mean he voted for Nepene?

Mmm. So who voted for whom isn't going to be given to us? And we don't get to find out what the roles of the dead and those who are voted out. This is going to be harder than I thought.

Of those that have tied, one is chosen at random by the GM to be lynched.

Isn't somebody missing here? Where is Kasmir (Asim)? Tempus, I notice he's not on the list.

The fact that there had been a murder didn't surprise Asgren. These parts were known for it. The fact that it had been the freeholder, a local, that was the victim did surprise him. As far as he had heard, they mainly went around killing outsiders. Something else was going on around here.

Oh, well, actually that was a part of my plan, uh plans. There's more than one. I just want you to think that I'm dead, uh dying. *coughs up blood* -- that hurts a bit more than I thought it would. They didn't mention it hurting so much... Is that *splutter* normal? *falls over, dead (or at-least that's what he want's you to think)*

I'm in. Am I.

I don't think you guys realize what it is that you're doing.

While I agree with Grim and Meta concerning the sword plan, I don't think that Bartholomew is PK. He played much the same way in the previous game, in which he wasn't spiked. That said, I haven't decided to who to vote for yet.

There wasn't anyone else other than the three main candidates under sufficient suspicion to warrant requesting six people to change their votes. Diverting suspicion is done by explaining away or otherwise disassociating someone of suspicion. Having people change their votes without good reason doesn't divert suspicion as much as it momentarily diverts attention. So having seven people bandwagon someone isn't just 'diverting suspicion'.

I don't see who else you could've been protecting except Chide, as Chide was the only other person in danger of being lynched, apart from Jeo. I don't know about the others, but you never mentioned Chide in the PM you sent me, nor did you have a seem to have a problem when I voted for Chide instead of Dyrri.

Though I was proven right, we didn't get much out of this night. I was suspicious of Aili, but obviously it's not possible that she's Pahn Kahl considering that she was just attacked by one. We're effectively back at square one.

So you were trying to protect either Jeo (deservedly suspicious) or Chide (inactive) and instead have Dyrri killed, who hadn't done much to warrant the suspicion placed on him nor had he or others acted suspicious in an attempt to defend him. The only way that you could have enough information to know for certain whether Jeo or Chide were not Pahn Kahl was if you were doing this with Aodan, or if you were Pahn Kahl and knew otherwise.

In my case it wasn't Joe who tried to get me to vote for Dyrri. I don't know if it was just me, or if other players were also contacted by this person. I'm not revealing their name yet because I want to give them a chance to defend themselves. But, evidently the fact that they wanted me to retract my vote for Jeo (based on Jeo apparently being valuable for the good side) and instead place my vote against Dyrri doesn't speak much for their innocence.

I seriously doubt that Dyrii is a Pahn Kahl. So far he hasn't really attempted to defend himself, and neither has anyone else attempted to defend him (apart from me, just now). Joe on the other hand has been frantically trying to get people to vote for eachother and has had other people defending him. He seems way to desperate to not be a Pahn Kahl. Sure it could be said that that's the usual way he plays, but considering that he was spiked the previous game, and that this was the same way he acted when he was accused then, it still seems suspicious. @Porridge, I'm voting for Chide because they don't want me to vote for Jeo, but I don't want to vote for Dyrri. It's a compromise yes, but a safe one.

It's been requested that I retract my vote for Jeo and instead place it on Dyrii, but insufficient reason was given as why I should do so and it does not seem they intend to give me a proper reason any time soon. Dyrii hasn't done anything in particular to arouse my suspicions. Joe, on the other hand has. But out of respect I'll do as they requested and retract my vote for Jeo, but instead of placing my vote on Dyrri (who, as I said, I don't believe deserves it), I'm placing my vote on Chide, who hasn't done anything at all to allay the suspicion placed on him, or rather hasn't done anything at all.

Well, actually we want a tie right now. So I'll be voting for Jeo Joe. (get it?) I'd just like to note that if Chide isn't actually inactive (i.e. he's still paying attention to the game, but he's not posting), then he has an unfair advantage. In most of the previous games when given the option between lynching an inactive player (who doesn't defend themselves) and lynching an active player, we've always chosen to lynch the active player. Chide may be exploiting that.

If that isn't evidence enough to show that you're not Pahn Kahl, then I don't know what is. I mean, the children like you. There's no way you could be Pahn Kahl. Let me give this a try. Asgren had gotten himself lost again. It certainly didn't help that this Hallandren town had such colourful signage. Which proved to be a challenging to read since Asgren was quite colourblind. Colours, it gave him a headache. He turned down into the next alleyway, or was it a road? He constantly got those two mixed up. The alleyway was dim, and littered with rubbish, as was typical of Hallandren towns. For all the proclaimed "beauty", the real Hallandren was just out of plain sight. Something scuffled in the darkness and nudged his leg. Looking down he saw what appeared to be a puppy. A scruffy one at that. While it seemed that there had been more than enough food for it to eat in the alleyway, most of it had spoiled in the dank and heat. After all, the people of Hallandren were known for their excesses, the wastage food being one of them. Asgren knelt down to inspect the creature. It had a festering wound near the base of its back leg, which was evidently the cause of its limp. Asgren wasn't too knowledgeable of that sort of thing, but he knew enough to be certain that if that dog stayed in those conditions, with the wound that it had, it wouldn't live to see the next week. He took the puppy in his arms and set out to find a surgeon.

I've done some analysis of the roles and allegiance. It's either obvious or pure speculation, but it's what would make sense to me. There are likely anything from five to eight Pahn Kahl in this game. Eight may seem like a lot, but i'd say that would be possible depending on the roles of the Pahn Kahl. Obviously the better roles the Pahn Kahl have the less Pahn Kahl there would need to be. There's probably about two to five Returned. I don't imagine that there would be more than one Returned Pahn Kahl. Depending on how many Pahn Kahl Returned there are there would probably be more non-Pahn Kahl Returned. If there is say one Pahn Kahl Returned, then there probably only two other Returned (one Idrian and one Hallandren) Idrians I'd think that there would be anything from three to six Mercenaries in the game. As much as two of them could be Pahn Kahl (though it's likely less), mainly because this would seem to be one of the more useful roles for the Pahn Kahl. There's probably two to four Idrian Agents. I doubt that more than one of these would be Pahn Kahl. This wouldn't seem to be a very useful role for the Pahn Kahl. There'd be about three to five Spies, and as much as two of these would Pahn Kahl (though the more of the these that are Pahn Kahl, the less Pahn Kahl there likely are). This wis probably the most essential role for the Pahn Kahl. Hallandren There's probably anything from two to four Hallandren Agents. As also with the Idrians, I doubt that more than one of these would be Pahn Kahl. As much as four Lifeless Command(ers?). I don't imagine that the Pahn Kahl would have more than one of these, considering that they already have have a kiling ability.

Asgren is a Historian. He travels the world far and wide, though he has yet to get further than the Red Salmon down the road. He's particularly interested in ancient writing systems, as well as some of the really really ancient writing methods, for example lists. After all, we need to learn from our past mistakes. Hahahahahahahaha ... ...Where was I? Oh, right. Potatoes.

The way you have it now is correct... I've already deciphered it, but being dead I don't suppose I'm allowed to post it.

Yes, but could you trust me not to give the spiked an advantage? Just kidding. I wouldn't ruin the game like that.

We haven't been given access to that information yet. We do have most of the other information though (roles etc.), and I do still have access to the Spiked doc.
