    yes you can. just post Straw's name in green
  2. Jo and the Bush
    I've already given my opinion, but I'll restate it. I'll not participate in a lynch until i know who all of my faction is, and who all the independents are. I don't want to lynch an ally.
  3. Jo and the Bush
    Yes? What do you want?
  4. Jo and the Bush
    Ecthellion is a 'He'. The profile picture is misleading. Why do you think Ecthellion has a bunch of information about Scadrial? EDIT: and I'm not proposing anyone, until I know who everyone on my faction and who the independants are.

    The more I learn, the less I care about Straw's lynch. It doesn't appear to me that any of his information is accurate. 57% of what he's told me is flat out wrong, (I say with 75% certainty), 14% is already public knowledge, and the final 28% I'm still investigating.

    Ah, the Lottery. I remember the lottery. I remember winning the Reviver in the lottery, and then dying the same night. Good times, good times. Out of curiosity, how many people didn't realize I was a player?

    Endgame: Hail Lord Jaddeth Adonai stood, arms folded, on the edge of the Docks. The Northern city of Arelon, Ato, hadn’t fared well since it’s abandonment. Only beggars lived here now, and they didn’t maintain structures, they just found whatever was still in repair and used it until it was out of repair. Which, in this case, meant that Ato had no ships he could use to purse Sart. The pirate’s ship was barely in view, sailing away from the city. Adonai knew enough about the man to know he would make landfall in Teod, but that was out of his reach. But, did it really matter? In Teod, Sart couldn’t stop Gyorn Adonai from taking Arelon. In effect, Sart was dead. And, even better, he would serve as a witness to the people of Teod. He would spread the word. Jaddeth was the new God of Arelon. Duke Ashkelon stood at the head of his personal guard. They were formed up at the Southern Gate of Kae, awaiting the new king to arrive. Jumae had promised him wealth and power beyond what he already had, and Adonai had promised him even more. Ashkelon smirked as he once again tallied it up in his head. Adonai had promised him equal authority to himself, and Jumae had promised him the title of Crown prince. A quick knife in the ribs later, and he would be king of Arelon. No one would mourn the death of the Mad Prince anyway. The man was insane! Talking to ghosts and what have you. The Prince’s procession neared the gates. Jumae and Adonai at the head, with Lopen and Locke right behind. And then the Prince’s army, various Derethi priests and monks and the remaining Nobility. They stopped at the gate, and the four of them dismounted. “Welcome Gyorn, King.” Ashkelon bowed his head and smiled broadly. “The city stands ready. The Elantris Guard won’t interfere, my money is rich enough to ensure that. Are you ready to take the city?” “Oh of course, of course! Except,” Jumae paused, then beckoned Locke and Lopen forward. “We still need to bestow titles on my two loyalist followers! Kneel.” Locke and Lopen both fell to one knee, bowing their heads before the madman. “Locke, I name you lord General of the King’s armies, defender of Arelon. Jaddeth’s fist in this land.” Jumae turned to Adonai. “Bless him priest.” Adonai sighed, but placed his hands on Locke’s head. “Follow Jaddeth always, for he will bless his righteous. Ensure this land is safe for those who follow his holy word, Brother Locke.” Jumae turned again, and faced empty air. “You give him a blessing as well girly.” There was a short silence, as everyone watched Jumae watch nothing. He looked like he was listening to something. “Thank you.” Jumae turned to Lopen. “You, I name Heir Apparent, Crown prince of Arelon! Eton’s right hand in the land.” Ashkelon started. “You promised me that title!” Jumae ignored him. “My first command, prince Lopen, is to end the miserable life of the traitor Duke Ashkelon. He betrayed the King, and must be punished!” Lopen rose, and turned towards the Duke. Ashkelon stepped backwards. “Guard, stop him! Protect me!” The guards didn’t respond. He threw a quick glance over his shoulder, afraid to take his eyes off of Lopen for too long. His guards were watching the Prince’s army, and obviously deciding they would side with the prince. They were outnumbered five to one. Lopen closed his eyes, and began to glow faintly. He sprang forward, spinning in midair. Ashkelon raised his arms in an attempt to block, but Lopens fist knocked them aside, and his foot took him in the neck. His throat was crushed, and he was thrown backwards, hitting two of his armored guards. Everything went black in an instant. “That wasn’t very nice.” Liadan said. “I’m not bless him. Locke was okay. He never killed anyone. But not Lopen. You betrayed Ashy!” “Hush girl, I need to talk to the priest.” Eton, or Jumae, or whatever he called himself, turned away from her. “So, Adon. From what I understand of your religion, when I convert, all Gyorns will outrank me, correct?” The priest, Adon was it? Eyed him, in the manner of a man deciding whether or not a fruit was rotten. “That is correct, your Majesty.” “And is it also correct that if I refuse to obey you, I will be excommunicated?” The Priest’s tone became chilled, like frost in the graveyard. “Your point being?” “If I am excommunicated, it means war between my country and yours. Teod will side with me of course, and the Rose Empire as well. So let’s be clear priest. I will swear myself to Jaddeth, but I will joyfully disobey you if you tell me to do something I don’t want to. I will be your Odiv in name only. The city, and it’s people, are yours, but I belong to myself only.” “And to me!” Liadan piped up. Jumae shot her a dirty look. “Until you remember my name, you still get to obey me.” Jumae sighed. “I’m never going to get away from you girly, am I?” Adonai raised one eyebrow. “Your terms are accepted, King, but if you call me a girl again, I will execute you, and put your prince on the throne.” Lopen grinned. “Hail Jaddeth.” Sart was 'killed'! He was a Citizen Pirate! Elenion was Killed! He was a Citizen Duke and a Derethi Convert! And, that is a wrap. Congrats to Alvron and Stink for winning, and congrats to the Derethi Converts, Lopen, Stink, Orlok and Elenion for winning as well. Final thoughts to come. All Secret Roles: Docs:

    I'm going to delay the writeup, sorry. My family needs my help, so I'll be gone for the next hour and a half. Rollover is not being delayed.
  9. Jo and the Bush
    Flavorwise, sure. Mechanic wise, no.

    LG24: The Ninth Night Anelin sat on the rooftop, kicking her heels against the stone. The street below was filled with people, ignorant, uncaring people. They knew of all the murders of course, but they knew nothing of the why’s. They didn’t know that Iadon would be following his son to the grave very soon. They didn’t know that very soon, Kae would have a new God, to replace the fallen Elantrians. The flow of the crowd became nervous, and slowed. Anelin cupped her hands over her eyes and looked down the street, to where the disruption was coming from. Soldiers. Duke Ashkelon’s personal guard, coming for her no doubt. To execute her in the street, just like they had so many others. She reached under her shirt, and drew out her pendant. Aon Omi. Love. Unity. Protection. Patriarch Lorien had given it to her before he was executed. Domi’s grace and love hadn’t done much to protect him. She reached behind her neck, and untied the knotted leather. It fell away and dangled from her hand. It was identical to the other three she had seen. Mai and Eoltias both had one, as did the man who betrayed Lorien. Was she really the only one who tried to serve Domi in truth? Was she the only one who truly believed? She slowly turned her hand over. The pendant slipped out and fell. It bounced once, twice, thrice, against the ground below before lying still. It couldn't save her. It hadn’t saved anyone. She stood up, standing on the edge of the roof as the guards reached the building. One saw her, and pointed her out to the others. A portion of them entered the building, others surrounding it. She watched them, no longer caring. She had done her best. But that wasn’t enough. One of the guards strung a thick, wooden bow. Anelin closed her eyes. Better to not see what was coming. There was a twang, and a whistle. Something hit her, right where her pendant had hung. Her back, right between the shoulderblades began to itch. Her knees gave way, and she fell forward, the air ripping past her was the last sensation she felt. Arraenae was Lynched! She was a Citizen Beggar turned Bodyguard and a Korathi-Convert. Votes: Arraenae:(4): Sart, Arraenae, Elenion, Duke Sart:(1): Lopen

    Yeah, there are three hours and 15 minutes left, since no one has said they don't want a shortening.

    Day 9: Deals in the Dark Anelin carefully peered over the edge of the roof where she lay. The street below her was empty. She wriggled backwards, staying flat against the ground, to prevent anyone from easily targeting her. She crawled back to the trapdoor in the roof, and dropped through it. She landed in a crouch on the stone floor in the dusty room. One of the two doors was barricaded shut, to prevent anyone from sneaking in the back way. The windows were all boarded over except for a small slit at the bottom for looking through. Sart crouched at one of the windows, watching the alley that contained the only entrance to the building. It wasn’t visible from the roof, so he watched it whenever she went up. “Has Locke shown up yet?” Sart glanced over his shoulder, lips pursed, and shook his head before returning to his vigil. Muttering curses under her breath, Anelin took up her position in the corner of the room, where she could see every door and window at once. “What if he doesn’t come?” She focused on Sart, and considered how best to answer his question. She knew he wasn’t really asking that. They both knew exactly what it meant if Locke didn’t come here tonight. It would mean they were the last. “If he doesn’t come, we continue without him. We protect the King. We don’t let his mad conspiracies be proven true.” “They’re already true.” Sart stood up, and slotted a board into the viewing slot in the window. “We already know he was working with the Jeskeri, and that Father Lorien was plotting his downfall. And now, well, his own son. The conspiracies are all true. And he doesn’t deserve to be king for his crimes.” He walked to the only working door, and pulled it open. “We never had a chance.” “Where are you going?” He paused, still holding the door. “I think I’ll head North. To Ato. To the ocean. It shouldn’t take too long to get there. I still have a boat. I’m not going to die on land. Tell the Derethi where to find me please. I’ll be waiting for them.” The door slowly swung shut after him, leaving Anelin alone in the empty room. Nothing happened (publicly) I’m back! Hi! People have asked for an extension before, but we’re getting to low enough numbers that I’m also going to offer to shorten the day by 24 hours, if enough people want it.

    I haven't been on the Random stuff thread for about 16 pages (?), so I've missed a lot. But, @Kaymyth, I think I just saw you on Tumblr. A Rosemary Williams who won Best Novice at the Worldcon Masquerade? I'm assuming that was you? If it was, Congrats. I really need to be more active in this thread. what else have I missed?
  15. Jo and the Bush
    when do signups end?

    Note. This is going to be my last writeup for a while. In about 24 hours, I'll be leaving town. I won't get back until late sunday. Metacognition will be running the game in my absence. I will be adding him to all the PM's tonight. It would be helpful if you could add him to any PM you talk in as well.

    Night 6: The Unfeeling Moon. Father Mai reached under the collar of his robe and withdrew his Amulet. The Aon Omi, as worn by all members of the Korathi faith. At least, all True members. He had his problems with the church, and had left it secretly years ago, for a god that actually answered, even if it didn’t care for him as Domi was supposed to. He reached into his sash next, and pulled out a sacrificial dagger. One he had used just three weeks ago, to kill poor Sheeo, in a ritual. It hurt, that he wouldn’t be able to participate in another sacrifice. That was all he wanted. One last communion with the Great Lord. A scarce twelve hours, before the moon would rise fully, and he’d be able to see his Lord again. Now, he supposed, he’d see the Lord in a different fashion. He pulled the amulet away, tightening the cord around his neck, then slashed through it with the knife. He placed the amulet on the Lectern, and stabbed all the way through it. The blade vibrated from the power of the strike, but remained in the wood. Good. He left it there, and left the Chapel. In the Anterium, there was a ladder, that led to the top of the church’s Bell Tower. It was a short, perhaps half a minute climb, and then he was above most of the buildings in Kae. He could see a crowd forming, coming towards the church. Coming for him no doubt. They didn’t see, didn’t understand. They stood against The Lord, and they stood against the King. He wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of killing him. Mai stepped onto the wall around the tower, so that he could see the ground far below him. He raised his arms in supplication, as the sun just slipped beyond the horizon. “By Blood, by Bone, by Cold, by Stone. Uncaring Moon, Welcome me home.” He intoned. He closed his eyes, and took his final step. Amanuensis was a Jeskeri Acolyte turned Practitioner!

    Burnt did not know she was immune to the Jeskeri actions, until The Jeskeri Faction was revealed. There are secret interaction dealing with how roles interact with secret roles. As soon as a Secret role is revelealed, all secret interactions with that role will be revealed as well.
