Stars Aligned - GAME OVER

[dramonic]

Gosh, you guys aren't paying attention.

Yes my vote is on DN, but he won't be lynched.

[Sarag]

If dramonic has Avolition, as he claims, and if no one else votes, then chenhsi will be lynched since he got to 5 before DeathNote did. If he's lying, DeathNote will be lynched.

Check out the voting history:

chenhsi - 6 (semioldguy, Cass, nhammen, ZykeZero, Pablo_Molinero, DeathNote)

DeathNote - 1 (Furpants_Tom)

Post 1179 - dramonic votes chenhsi (putting him at 7, or 6 with avolition).

Posts 1180 - 1185 SlySly, chenhsi and myself all vote DeathNote (bringing him up to 4).

Post 1186 - Pablo switches his vote from chenhsi to DeathNote (putting chenhsi at 6, or 5 with dramonic's avolition; putting DeathNote at 5 - regardless, chenhsi reached 5 first).

chenhsi - 6 (semioldguy, Cass, nhammen, ZykeZero, DeathNote, dramonic)

DeathNote - 5 (Furpants_Tom, SlySly, chenhsi, Sarag, Pablo Molinero)

Post 1215 - dramonic switches his vote from chenhsi to DeathNote (taking chenhsi to 5 and DeathNote to 6, OR if he has avolition, they remain equal at 5, with chenhsi having gotten there first).

DeathNote - 6 (Furpants_Tom, SlySly, chenhsi, Sarag, Pablo Molinero, dramonic)

chenhsi - 5 (semioldguy, Cass, nhammen, ZykeZero, DeathNote)

[dramonic]

Aww, you totally ruined the ride

That supposes no one else took avolition.

[Sarag]

That supposes no one else took avolition.

Yeah it does.

[Furpants_Tom]

Ummm... hang on, this is embarrassing - did my predecessor ever claim what she did last night? A quick reread reveals she may have been a bit nonspecific.

Would the town like to know, or should I keep it quiet?

[Sarag]

Up to you. We've only been claiming wards and noise. We probably shouldn't declare every night action since that would let the cultists know what equipment the investigators have, but if you have useful info to share, then I don't see why not.

[Sarag]

Correction: we've also been claiming insanity and in some cases, research. There's been a bit of discussion but people are doing this fairly haphazardly.

[Furpants_Tom]

Actually, I don't think it would help; it would probably only reveal what equipment I have. Tell you tomorrow.

[Furpants_Tom]

On third thought, it could be important, what with the current discussion and all.

I investigated chenhsi with forensic tools, and he was clean.

a) This doesn't establish that he wasn't last night's murderer, since the blood from that will have accrued after my investigate triggered.
b) It doesn't establish that he didn't participate in the N2 ritual, since the blood from that will have arrived after my investigate triggered.
c) It doesn't even establish that he didn't participate in the N1 ritual, since he could have laundered on N2, which triggers before my investigate.

All it really establishes is that he wasn't bloody when my investigate triggered half-way through last night. So yeah, take that for what it's worth.

[Furpants_Tom]

Oh wait, I have my nights mixed up. Only 1 ritual so far, not two. Either way.

[Datadanne]

Unvote, Vote: Chensi

Just in case

[dramonic]

I am wounded by the lack of trust.

... not really

[semioldguy]

@Furpants_Tom
Using forensics last night was useless as it would have been impossible for anyone to have been bloody by that point. Also, the person you replaced did claim having done that, and we told restFermata back when she claimed that it was useless.

I don't know why people are saying that best case scenario is that DeathNote is town and is killed. That isn't a best case scenario, period. Best case scenario is that he's scum and is killed.

Scum are not very likely to have a med kit, any time they participate in a ritual, they lose any med kit they have because they become bloody. Also it's possible that not more than one scum would have a medkit, (especially since several would lose it each night) and night killing that scum could not be stopped by the other scum in this case.

If you have two really scummy people, would you rather take care of both of them in one night or two?

[chenhsi]

If DeathNote is scum, he will get resed.

[Percy]

Someone grabs

chenhsi

from behind and pins his arms roughly behind his back.

"NO! Don't touch me! My skin, my skin, no-one touches my skin!" he yells to the assembled crowd. His feet skid along the floor as he is led to the waiting noose.

"OK, I'll feed it, I'll feed it, just STOP TOUCHING ME!"

chenhsi

struggles free and vaults up onto the table. There is complete silence, as though the world itself is watching.

He steps forward slowly towards the rope, a single mournful tear running down his cheek. His head slips easily into the loop, and with a sigh, he throws himself off the table.

Immediately the room is plunged into complete blackness. There is not a sliver of light anywhere for your eyes to find. Panic descends. Improvised light sources provide no illumination. Someone cries out "He's dead!", but their voice is nearly lost in the screams of your fellows.

*thump thump*

The booming sound of two drumbeats stills the crowd.

*thump thump*

The noise is loud enough to shake your chest.

*thump thump*

The mighty heartbeat fills your mind, your body, with apprehension and awe. The air itself tingles with power.

*thump thump*

Slowly, light builds up in the room. Perhaps your eyes are adjusting, but perhaps not. The drums shake the chandelier, the drums get louder, they're coming from below you, you have to get out...

Almost in unison, you all move towards the sweeping stone stairs at the end of the dining room. Stairs? Where did they come from? How big is this place?

The violin begins again, beckoning you ever-upwards with its mournful refrains.

You run.

chenhsi

is lynched.

[Percy]

Just over 24 hours until Day 3 begins. Get your night actions in, people.

[Percy]

The next level of the house is more confronting than those below. Gone were the Victorian trappings of the mansion, replaced by geometrical forms that Euclid himself would struggle to name studding the hallways and doors, bulbous enlargements protruding from what might have been furniture, and always a haunting sense of maddeningly cruel angles and lines. You disperse for your nights activities, whether they are spent helping, hurting or cowering.

The sun pierces through the thick red blanket of dust that covers the house and blots out the sky, and you make your way to the gathering hall on this level - a large room with a raised elliptical table, covered in crude and provocative scratchings. They look like they were carved last night, and are of this form:

"Knight of Cydonia was a Murderer, Mastin was a Cultist, Tuberkulos was Innocent, one, two, three, Knight of Cydonia was a Murderer, Mastin was a Cultist, Tuberkulos was Innocent, oh gods save me, Knight of Cydonia was a Murderer, Mastin was a Cultist, Tuberkulos was Innocent, one, two, three, Knight of Cydonia was a Murderer, Mastin was a Cultist, Tuberkulos was Innocent, have mercy let me be."

Some of you do not make it into the gathering hall.

DeathNote

and

nhammen

have both been cruelly silenced by wicked blades wielded by corrupted minds.

The drums still play, though far below. Above your heads hangs a noose.

Knight of Cydonia was a

Mastin was a

Tuberkulos was an

Please read your Night Action Result PM before posting.

[Sarag]

No chenhsi grave rob? Today we lynch dramonic, and tonight Datadanne robs his grave.

Vote: dramonic

.

Nice save, whoever prevented the cult kill.

I robbed Tuberkulos' grave and he had protective wards. It looks like he was telling the truth - he started with the wards and used them n0 on Jebus, as he said.

I also heard noise again.

Insanity Infraction

[Sarag]

And *twitch* god damn it.

[dramonic]

No I didn't graverob Chensci

Yes he was obv-murderer.

Would've been a wasted action. I equipped wards instead.

[dramonic]

The point of a grave-rob is to rid ourselves of ambiguous alignments. I ain't going to waste a night action when it's futile.

[dramonic]

Also, didn't hear noise.

[Sarag]

The point of you robbing the grave is to prove you aren't a murderer, to make you accountable to the town.

So you killed nhammen?

*twitches*

[Sajin]

Dramonic, the whole point of you robbing the grave was to clear yourself. I like the ward item though. Planning on using that to fake noise claims on people you stalked? Yeah....

I think your a murderer dramonic. But you can be dealt with later.

vote: Deathnote

for now.


I heard no noise!
