Here and here are two such posts. In both, Orinoco gives (IMO) questionable advice and silky agrees with him. I haven't looked further back than those posts, though. And just agreeing with something doesn't necessarily mean guilt. I'm sure I agreed with Bakhtosh at some point in the game.

interesting.... kissed any swords lately?

Just my curved one.

To get the game moving I'll switch my vote to Silky

Withdraw Mr. Bubbles.

I've never been sure about him, so I'm going to take that one back. I'd like to hear more from Austin, which isn't going to happen soon, but I'd like even more to get this thing rolling again. Truicy, I'm questioning your story. If you're innocent I'll turn my attention to Silky. But for now I doubt you the most.

Silky I'll play along, tho Silky does not look guilty. I suspect McNutt and Ralph more

yeah yeah withdraw tru1cy

Withdraw silky. I want to look at some more things before we get too many people jumping on.

For the record, I always assume a new vote supersedes any prior votes. Explicit withdrawals aren't necessary if they're followed by new votes.

We just simulposted, Kraegor.

heh you simulposted both my posts. the "yeah yeah" was cuz i couldnt edit my post.

isn't this really the problem. We're pretty much voting in the dark and it can easily be used against you if you vote the wrong person. But we got a couple stabs at this. I think we can do it.

Now that's podracing!

Ok, I've been going back and forth between two people. While I've almost convinced myself to switch my vote, but I think I'm going to have to stay with silky. I apologize if you're innocent.

No need at all. All but one are doing what they think is in the best interest of the villagers.

Now I am just waiting for Cesare to come online and see that I am voting for him

Either that or McNutt and Austin but you get my drift.

Sigh.... all you guys are no fun anymore.

Withdraw Cesare

Accuse Mr. Bubbles

Fine. I don't feel good about this one, but I'll go with Silky. Sorry, Silk.

Seems like the thing to do these days.

Seated in a circle not far from the relighted bonfire, the surviving forest dwellers considered their plight. Now regarding the Low Place as even more corrupted than the lea, they had returned with great trepidation to the site of the Change in case the sorcery there active might somehow enable them to discern the evildoer who lurked among them.

Each participant in the desperate ritual held a large rectangular stone taken from the firepit's barrier.

None spoke. Each studied the eyes and demeanor of his fellow villagers. For the most part, all sat still and waited for intuition to achieve what reason had failed to do.

Suddenly, shockingly, someone threw his brick toward Silky's head. Another quickly emulated the gesture, and another. Still, nobody spoke.

Another stone landed, and another. The victim lay stoically in the grass as his life gushed forth; he waited with the others in his waning moments for some sign, some manifestation, some display of arcane power that would grant them insight into how they might rid themselves of the scourge that had depopulated their humble community.

"Damned." After a time, one spoke. None replied, but all nodded apprehensively to affirm the possibility.

The forest dwellers knew they had once more sown innocent blood into the soil and would likely reap death before dawn. With this in mind, and thinking of little else, every living soul went home to consider whether indeed hope had abandoned them to a gruesome, inevitable end.

It is Nightfall.
Snaresman: Tell me whom you will protect.
Slayer(s): Tell me whom you will pierce.
Tracker: Tell me whom you will follow.

Well crap. I give up.

tell me about it.. Now we wait to see who gets offed tonight.

Just my lucky bones. Some outfit this turned out to be!

I try to run a high class operation, but hey. What can I say? Is it my fault my partners came in on the last dogcart from Dimwitsville.....

Look-- here's how this'll go down tonight. We mark the guy, and instead of tracking him we take him down right there under cover of night. Not many people around by now. Nobody'll see.

And do me a favor. Try not to screw this up! I spend half my time cleaning up the messes you make, and the other half trying to convince myself that you're still worth my time.

So get it right. Right?

It is Daybreak. Cesare has been pierced and his body left right in the middle of the high road.

Crap. I think that was probably bad. Alright. I'm thinking Mr. Bubbles, McNutt, Tru1cy, Wiggum, Kraegor; in that order. I'll hold my vote for now though, while I re-catch up, although things have really slowed. The first couple days were crazy.

I don't get the silky lynch either fwiw.

Let me tell you a story, my friends. I'll begin at the beginning.

On the first night, Grundbegriff created a village, but it was without form and unpopulated.

On the second night, Grundbegriff created the three slayers. He saw that they were bad and He was displeased.

And so on the third night, Grundbegriff created 12 innocents and He saw that they were good.

But these innocents were vunerable; they had no means of self-defense. Thus, on the fourth night, Grundbegriff created a snaresman to protect the innocents from the slayers. He named the snaresman Chaosraven.

But still evil existed. There needed to be one who could cast marks upon the slayers. And so on the last night, Grundbegriff created a tracker and He named the tracker Ralph-Wiggum.

Then Grundbegriff rested and let his works be done. And so began the story of the slayers and the village.


On the very first night, the village was blessed with a great portent: Chaosraven, the snaresman, prevented the evil slayers from killing Remus.

With the help of the tracker, the village lynched two of the slayers without much difficulty.

The third slayer, however, remained furtive; many deaths occured before he was discovered. The tracker followed Austin, Chaosraven, LordMortis, and tru1cy and found them all to be innocent. But last night the final slayer was discovered.

And his name is Mr. Bubbles. May he be cast into the pits of dispair.

Mr. Bubbles is in the air.

OOC: I'm going out of town tomorrow morning though Sunday, and I'm not sure if I'll have internet access while I'm gone. But I expect this game to be wrapped up by then.

Im speechless Ralph.. I don't know what to say.. but you're wrong. I hope your death will prove my innocence Ralph-Wiggum

You put up a good fight, Mr. Bubbles. You just got unlucky in a couple of your kills. And we just got lucky in a couple of our scans (mainly Orinoco).

this is ludicrous!!! you actually expect us to buy that scenario??


Mr Bubbles

I was Ralph's first scan.

Mr. Bubbles

Big thanks to silky the unscanned for helping out too. I came to him with the PM that he had sent Remus, and which Remus had sent to me. Got his trust and though we didn't scan him, he did everything we asked and really helped us protect the tracker.

Let's end this charade. Mr. Bubbles
