Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Touch - Day 8

[Trixie]

Fate/Stay Night WW

The Co-Narrator - Blue Umbrella.

Shadow was killed. For the first time, even before the game narration started. There, I'm now official holder of the title 'earliest killer of the Shadow' :smallamused:
It Was A Dark And Stormy Night. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ItWasADarkAndStormyNight) A small, disturbing, weirdly looking church, conveniently placed on a hill just beyond the city's boundary, was, quite unsurprisingly (as various works of a... "art" (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HollywoodStyle) would teach us), place of activities blasphemous and evil beyond imagination.

So... what's up, Kotomine?

I'm reading spoilers. Let's see... (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpoilersOff) Fate - killed, UBW - obliterated, Heaven's Feel - ugh, what the hell (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FateWorseThanDeath?from=Main.AFateWorseThanDeath)? I'm far too badass (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassLongcoat) to die.

Um... what? What are you talking about? And besides, we're not supposed to break the fourth wall.

Sigh. You know, the role of someone designed solely to die (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CardCarryingVillain) in all the possible endings of the game (and the one who didn't even get a cameo in the sequel) is sad indeed. No, Gil, this time we'll do it right, like real evil overlords (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvilOverlordList).

Yeah, like that is going to help. And, seriously, what's with all the tropes, man?

If you're willing to sit here and wait for death (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FamilyUnfriendlyDeath), be my guest. Co-narrator's influence. Shut up already.

Yeah, whatever. I'm going to go and drown myself in that weak stuff these locals dare to call 'booze'.

A week later.

The scenery of this event is essentially, well, the same as above, but it is dawning now, the somehow always gloomy looking Church (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptChurch) is lit by countless candles, and a mysterious symbol (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InstantRunes) has been drawn on the floor (badly mangled Latin phrases included).

So... let's see... two more servants, and there will be no one left to kill me - and I will kill all the others! Muahahaha! (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvilLaugh)

Now, now. I almost lost myself there. The victory is so close, my plans are nearly complete, and foolproof to boot! Uh, I'm not gloating here (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvilGloating), am I?

Anyway, Saber, I choose you (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitlei015gc004kw4)! Wait a second, was your armor supposed to be black?

What is thy bidding, my master?

Kotomine coughed, then activated all of his command seals.

Okay, my three commands are: 1. You may not injure me or, through inaction, allow me to come to harm. 2. You must obey orders given to it by me, except where such orders would conflict with the First Command. 3. You must protect your own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Command. I'm not going to even bother with tropes here.

Um... I know that part about magic and sufficiently advanced tech, but this is... ridiculous.

Naaah, that works in both sides. Now, go and-


http://randomc.animeblogger.net/image/Fate%20stay%20night/Fate%20stay%20night%20-%2024%20-%20Large%2017.jpg

[loud stabbing sound]

Farewell, my dear.

C- Caster?

Yup. I'm afraid your commands don't say anything about nottaking control of other minds, nor about using them to do my bidding - her smile changed from almost ice-cold to seemingly warm one. All that was left was to wait until you summoned someone who can kill you without giving you a chance to strike back.

H- How? Why (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitle3w5au79hb9tv)?

Um, this is technically the night before day one, and I'm supposed to alternate my powers... You know, it's all in the rules, just below. Why? Because I'm evil. And because I can. Seriously.

Oh, well. Why there are so many tropes with eviiil guys dying? I don't know which one to invoke!

Be silent already! [many stabbing sounds].

I wish you hadn't made my job so difficult, Kotomine. Separating the Servants, keeping them far from you, making a virtual fortress out of this place... Good job. Not that it helped you.

And I can't even look at Saber's face, with my point of view inside her head and all that. Oh, well, I'd better go and find a suitable host to anchor my existence in this place. And when I find all servants, and when I'll bind them in Darkness... Again, that should be far too obvious for Tropes.


http://randomc.animeblogger.net/image/Fate%20stay%20night/Fate%20stay%20night%20-%2017%20-%20Large%2028.jpg

[evil smile]

We shall rule this puny world. But before that... I'd better confuse anyone skilled enough to thwart us.

Caster casted (ahem) wide area Confusion spell (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UselessUsefulSpell), DC 28. End of narration.

Trixie [Kirei Kotomine, the War's moderator, was night killed on night -1].

And on a side note, players, this game was supposed to be based on UBW, but due to a slight undermanning we changed it to Heaven's Feel (note the game title) - so there are a few changes in the roles and game tone. Don't worry if you don't get the reference, these two are two possible endings of the game :smallwink:

Inside this spoiler is info copied from recruiting:

A few words to players:

This is an effort (similar to previous games in GitP, like Alchemist WW series) to add a bit more flavor to standard WW game. Most named characters have a bit more abilities - but to not make any side (especially Team Evil) too strong, the also have built-in vulnerabilities and/or drawbacks.

By design, most roles are designed with some kind of strategy in mind - there is counter to every strategy, killing of most Good power roles is no longer such a no-brainer for Team Evil, so all roles in the hands of clever player should be even more fun than the "standard" ones.

As for fluff - well, I heard you can find the manga (which I can recommend, by the way) on the various online manga reader sites, but all knowledge that is necessary is below, in the descriptions of each role. Of course, these who know the setting might notice some insider jokes, but it will be nothing major.

One word, though - this game is mostly based on VN. As anime and manga differ in details from both themselves and VN, some characters might have other abilities than described in other mediums, or might use them differently, so don't argue about seeming "mistakes" (pointing them out is fine, though).

Oh, and don't be scared by anything beneath this line - this game is as user friendly as possible, and you absolutely don't have to read anything besides your role and general WW rules to enjoy it :smalltongue:
Roles: [note - they might be (partially) obsolete, for balance reasons]

Team Good:

[B]Citizens - pretty much normal villagers.

Tōsaka Rin [seer] - overseer of the city, and a pretty good mage in her own right. Feels personally responsible for the current mess and will do everything to minimalize damage to her city. Every turn she is able to sense if a target is a human, mage (that is, someone with a special ability) or a servant. Night action.

Sakura Matō [fool] - due to, um... a difficult childhood she developed split personality. At the moment, she is convinced that she is Tōsaka Rin - but lacks her sister's knowledge and experience. Therefore, her scry attempts will always produce a false result. Night action.

Illyasviel von Einzbern [disciple] - a very powerful mage from Germany... and a spoiled, lazy child. Despite her powers she cannot be bothered to use them, so she barely does so. She can scry every third night. However, if Tōsaka dies, she will begin to scry every night in order to impress Shirō. Note - if Shirō dies before her, he is for all intents and purposes dead, but counts as alive for Ilia (I don't want to spoiler one nice scene). Night action.

Shirō Emiya - a knight in shining armor. At least he likes to think he is one - but in reality, only his luck managed to save his skin on countless occasions. Still, he can attempt to protect a chosen person against most of night actions... and he will (usually) succeed. Night action.

[B]Bazett Fraga McRemitz - mage from Ireland. Don't ask us about her "Irish" name, though. Expert physical combat specialist, she is immune to regular night kills - but other ways, such as Lancer's special kill will work just fine.


Neutral:

Caren Ortensia [head mason] - Inquisitor sent by the Church to eliminate all heresy. Mostly concerned about servants, but elimination of several magi along the way will be fine, too. She can lock a person for the whole night for questioning, denying them use of their abilities (essentially, voider). Target can still use his/her abilities, but if they do, Caren accurately guesses the target's role. Day action

Inquisitors [masons] - normal masons, handpicked by Caren to support her in the mission of cleansing the heresy. By fire!

They are counted as citizens when checking for citizens win. They win if at least 50% "named" members of the winning team and 100% of the losing one were eliminated.

Sōichirō Kuzuki [killer] - once every night he can kill one target. Hoverer, his strength lies in his peculiar martial art, so as more and more bodies will be found his style will become public and his chances of success will drop. First kill is 100% sure, second has a 80% chance of success, third 60%, fourth 40%, and above that 20%. He doesn't care who will win. He wins if at least two "named" characters from losing side die by his hand. Scries as human. Night action.

Servants [Team Evil]:

Picture

http://img3.cdn.crunchyroll.com/i/spire1/03312008/0/1/7/8/01782da8f7b470_full.jpg

Servants, from left to right: Assasin, Caster, Archer, Saber, Lancer, Rider and Berserker (statue-like, sitting).

Each stands beneath bust with a symbol of his/her "class", so refer to that when in doubt.

Fluff

Servants (or, as some suggested, Greater Familiars) are, according to one theory, the souls of dead, great heroes of the ages past. According to the other - they are a simple constructs given semblance of life and personality (as at least two of them are fictional heroes). Either way, this time something went terribly wrong - and they were summoned once again to wage a war, but no one controls their power now. Unable to live without mana, they were "anchored" to nearest suitable host (mage) in order to survive. They still have to kill in order to sustain their existence, though.

Servants start without knowledge who the others are - and they lose their special ability if their "host" dies - but as long as they can kill they will survive to kill some more. Every night, they can use their ability and/or name one person to die. The target named by the most servants will die, or, in case of a draw, will be picked at random from votes. As they find each other they can name one of them to pick a target this turn (mostly to decrease the amount of PM's). Servants win when the opposition is crushed, along with the knowledge of their existence.

Roles

Archer - he is capable of copying one magi ability per day. He cannot copy ability twice in a row, and his copies are inferior to originals, so they have random chance of failing. Loses this power if Tōsaka Rin is killed. Night action.

Assassin - despite his name, he doesn't like backstabbing. He scries as human when scried for the first time, his identity is revealed on second and subsequent scries by the same side - only Caster will get a hint that something is wrong on the first scry. He can "turn off" this ability for the following night to make his point during day count as two. Loses both powers if Caster is killed, as, due to the shortage of available hosts he picked the only mage between the servants.

Berserker - Nearly immortal. He can be killed, of course... But it will cost the offenders. If killed, regardless of the means, he can select one attacker and kill him as well. Immune to regular night kills. Loses both powers if Illyasviel von Einzbern is killed.

Caster - Seer. A mage from long forgotten Age of the Gods, she is far superior to any modern mage in this regard (her scries will get the exact role, not only the category). Her other power is the mind control spell - she can send her target a brief command to use his/her point or ability on a person of her choosing. She cannot use either power twice in a row, and is forced to alternate between them. Loses both powers if Sōichirō Kuzuki is killed. Night action.

Lancer - a heroic spirit from Ireland. His cursed spear can kill anyone, regardless of their defenses. Unfortunately, he lacks mana to use this to his full potential, so he can use this ability once every four nights. Loses this power if Bazett Fraga McRemitz is killed. Night action.

Rider - her gaze can force the target to lose some or all of his next day and night actions and/or points. Loses this power if Sakura Matō is killed. Night action.

Saber - the servant with the ultimate defense. She (or person protected by her) can escape death - regardless of the source. Yes, even from autolynch :smalltongue: Like Lancer, however, she lacks mana to maintain this shield after it was activated, and has to wait two days before it or the sword can be used again. Alternatively, her sword can be activated instead of her shield, depleting both abilities for three days, and killing one target with 75% chance of success. Loses both powers if Shirō Emiya is killed. Night action.
Additional rules:

1) Autolynch is set at 2 days of inactivity. If you cannot post, for any reason, PM me, I'm very forgiving given excuse :smallwink:

2) Days - 48 hours long, nights - 24 hours, though these may be shortened depending on how quick everyone is.

3) Mass Role Gathering is NOT encouraged. For example - "Hey guys, I'm role X, everyone send me their roles and we'll weed out the Villains!" This is not a legal strategy and will be punished. Role claiming and networks are fine, of course.

4) Posting PMs from the narrators is frowned upon.

5) I reserve the right to fireball anyone that ticks me off too badly.

6) RPing as various characters is not required, but encouraged.

7) Depending on how many people sign up, not all roles will be included in the game, or some roles will be added - to maintain a balance. The more, the merrier :smallwink:

8) 25% of votes are needed for lynch, rounded down.

9) Target of action designed to change victim's behavior/abilities (such as abilities of Caren or Rider) can tell others he was victim AFTER the influence of the ability ended. I can't stop you from mentioning this in PM's, but please, don't.

Two final words - due to a bit smaller than anticipated number of players three roles were deleted, and a number of new, minor ones (especially for villagers, as after discussion with BU we decided to give a few name from the F/SN plus a minor power they had, to avoid generic roles) were added. One deleted role will be revealed once per night, to keep a bit of tension :smallwink:


Oh, and finally, we begin with a bit of sufficiently epic music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMTIDKVFa4M&feature=related) :smallbiggrin:

[Dirk Kris]

Dirk Kris wanders in, rubbing the back of his neck. "Manga? Srsly? Ugh, am I ever in the wrong game..." Glancing around, he spots a familiar face - Fin. Grinning, he points at him. "If you're wondering why, read your sig, man."

[Fleeing Coward]

Actually, we've tried to kill Shadow numerous times before recruiting was even over (might even have succeeded once or twice I think)

Fin because I can :smallamused:

[Shadowcaller]

Fleeing Coward is following the Fin train.

[Murska]

And Murska follows the Fleeing Coward train!

[Istari]

[blam!] Shadow was killed. For the first time, even before the game narration started. There, I'm now official holder of the title 'earliest killer of the Shadow' :smallamused:

(:smalltongue:)

Murska for following Coward wagon

[Haruki-kun]

Istari. For some reason.

[Aemoh]

*random day 1 point at Allysian*

[UncleWolf]

And I'll go for Istari to bring it all to a whopping 3-way tie. :smalltongue:

[Cúchulainn]

Allysian for shifty reasons.

[Fostire]

Murska for the 5-way tie

[Fleeing Coward]

This will probably just get me lynched but I'm bored.

KILLER FOR SALE
Neutral killer wlling to side with first person to pm me.
Anyone who pms me will also be guaranteed immunity from my night kill attempts even if I decide to accept another offer and full anonymity - ie, I will not disclose any information regarding your role if you're not the first person to contact me.

[Lex-Kat]

Istari, to attempt to save Murska.

[Zar Peter]

The drunk lumberjack looks around in the bar...

What is this? Nobody wants to share a drink? Ah, well, 5 beer for the Sawmill!

He lifts three fingers.

The Bartender shakes his head.

This joke is older than you, mate!

You don't know how old I am!

Anyway. So you want 5 beer?

Yes. And give one to Istari, too. I think he will need it.

(Point at Istari)

[geekyhedgehog]

Um...
I abstain? am I allowed?

[Istari]

Allysian to save my skin
Plus this is the only game I'm in so don't lynch me :smallbiggrin:

[Trixie]

Um, we have ~10 hours to go, +/- whatever amount Blue wishes to add to account for the delay. Nice amount of votes, but it seems no bandwagon so far has the required 25% of total needed.

Of course, if that's your decision for today I have absolutely no objections :smallwink:

Oh, and @Istari - if only there were more people like you :smallsigh:

[Jontom Xire]

I point at Murska because:

1) It's day 1 and I have a tradition I'm trying to maintain.
2) I don't have a clue yet.
3) I'm not convinced that day 1 lynches are much use.

It seems to me that we have a surprisingly low number of votes given the number of players. Maybe it's because it's day one.

[Dirk Kris]

Allysian so that Istari can keep playing!

[Murska]

I, on the other hand, am convinced that day 1 lynches are useful, just like any non-information lynches, especially since no lynch means that the next time we'll have to lynch, the average villager won't have any more information.

I flipped a coin and it said Allysian.

[Dragoon]

Well, let's see here, Allysian, because I happen to slightly agree with Murska about the lynch.

[Allysian]

I'm not gonna try to defend myself, cause I know there's no way I can turn this around, buuuuuut you'll be sorry. And Istari
*nods*
that's not an evil "you'll be sorry", it's a you WILL be sorry.

[evnafets]

Ho Friend Lumberjack! I will share a drink with you.
And with that fellow over there! evnafets points at Allysian

[Istari]

I don't think it would be worth it to risk lynching someone who might be a power role on Day 1 so Fin to save Allysian

[Allysian]

I don't think it would be worth it to risk lynching someone who might be a power role on Day 1 so Fin to save Allysian

*blink-blink* Fin because Istari might be on to something. :smallwink:

[Murska]

Most people in this game are powerroles. There are only very few villagers.

[Trixie]

Okay, almost exactly 48 hours passed since approval.

Day over.

Update soon :smallwink:

[Murska]

Three and a half hours later... :smallbiggrin:

[Trixie]

Well, I was supposed to let Blue Umbrella update this one :smalltongue:

Okay, give me a few minutes to sort this out and we'll be ready to go.

Oh, and in the meantime, begin sending night actions to both narrators.

[Trixie]

[So, just as I almost finished typing this yesterday, the forum decided to die for 24 hours and I was unable to post anything. Arrrgh :smallfurious: Okay, sorry, Blue, since our players are waiting I'll have to post this temporary, crappy update* until you have the chance to write something better :smalltongue: ]

During these days no one was able to tell that their beloved city would be quickly turned into a scene of bloodbath. That dozens of innocent people would die some most horrible deaths ever seen. That these fateful events would be remembered forever (or, well, at least until next year, and possibly shorter that that).

Truth be told, even after these weeks of carnage people had problems with figuring out what exactly happened. Was it job of a lone killer? An entire band? Why these deaths ceased almost as quickly as they begun?

A few years later people begin to wonder if there wasn't some supernatural force at work that caused all of this, then mysteriously vanished. Of course, nobody believed this might be the case - after all, something supernatural couldn't possibly exist, right?

Let us assume for the moment, thought, that someone believed in the story and tried to describe it - by means of drawing, not writing. Then, the most important event of this fateful, beginning night might have been something like this (read right to left):

http://img43.onemanga.com/mangas/00000053/00000001/34.jpg

Well, except for much greater amount of blood at the "real" scene of crime. :smalltongue:

As for why this particular boy was chose by the killer, and not one of the more promising targets, like a certain kid with green and brown clothes, who walked the street just before him - well, no one can say with certainty.

Allysian was lynched. He was Shirō Emiya [baner].

A knight in shining armor. At least he likes to think he is one - but in reality, only his luck managed to save his skin on countless occasions. Still, he can attempt to protect a chosen person against most of night actions... and he will (usually) succeed. Night action.

Um, first victim, just like in VN. Creepy :smalltongue:

*(honestly, its 3.30 here as I'm writing this and I have not idea why I'm not soundly asleep right now)

24 hours for night actions, possibly more if the forum dies again.

[EagleWiz]

Uhh can you (re)send me my role pm? I either never recieved one or accidently deleated it.

[Trixie]

Well, 4 more hours to go, but since we had that forum outage I'll go ahead and add 8 more hours to that, to give people fair chance to act. As of now, I can't help but notice a distinct lack of actions from one team.

After that, it's use it or lose it.

Plus, from what I can see so far, this update is going to be interesting :smalltongue:

[Haruki-kun]

Oh, the suspense! :smalltongue:

[Trixie]

It was dark, stormy night (again, as no other kind would be appropriate). The first kill terrified the whole city; no one, thought, knew that the worst was yet to happen. For example, in a sleepy, silent school...

Phew! All this work, with the kids being scared and all... it's good that this chore finally ended. Goodbye, mister Kuzuki!


http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/8020/fatestaynight1f3yl.jpg

Heh. 'Goodbye' is a word fitting well enough, miss Taiga.

[Crunch! - a sound like a bunch of pencils breaking, if you need to visualize.]

I never liked you, anyway. Now, where I should hide the body...

How about this nice, little grave for two I just dug?

Huh? Who are you?

Assassin, at your service.

Oh... so you're the killer from the night before? So, you've come to kill me as well?

What? No, don't be ridiculous. 'Come to kill you' suggests that you have a chance of self-defense, which is plainly ridiculous. Even with your nice fighting style.

I don't?

Precisely. I already stabbed you in the back, three times, thisty seven minutes ago. I'm just that good.

Oh... I've been wondering why I don't remember choosing red shirt for today. This...

Sucks. For both reasons. Heh heh.

[Sound of body dropping to the ground]

***

Meanwhile, a crack team of Inquisitors (with Spanish-sounding names!) arrived unexpectedly, alarmed by the first kill. They begun their investigation by kidnapping a random girl off the street.

***

Oh... this hurts. That boy was good, but he is no math for me. Fooled him! I'm far too grim and gritty to die from mere three stabbing wounds!

http://img3.cdn.crunchyroll.com/i/spire1/03282008/e/4/1/c/e41c53d8bb2410_full.jpg


[Thud!]

Maybe puny hu-meen will die from this huge club, then. Me too dumb to fall to puny hu-meen tricks. Me strong! I can't believe I said that. Where's my agent when I need him?

Note that what happened in narration might or might not have any bearing on actual night actions. :smallwink:

And, finally, the results:

Dirk Kris was killed by Kuzuki. He was Taiga Fujimura [secret villager role - minor baner].
Fleeing Coward was utterly night-annihilated. He was Sōichirō Kuzuki [neutral killer].
Archer was obliterated. He was a deleted role :smalltongue:

Oh, and it seems Caster lost her powers. Le sigh :smallsigh:


I'll now begin sending results of night actions.

This day, the required 25% equals about 4 to 5 players.

[Fleeing Coward]

Kind of expected that after Trixie said this update would be interesting which is why I had made contingency plans :smalltongue:
Good luck winning this the hard way wolves, I had a nice juicy list that I would have given to your devil today but guess that dies with me now :smallamused:

[Shadowcaller]

I'm going for LordRod today.

[Lex-Kat]

I'd like to remind those who did not vote the day before of this little rule.

1) Autolynch is set at 2 days of inactivity. If you cannot post, for any reason, PM me, I'm very forgiving given excuse :smallwink:
Note that it doesn't say: two consecutive days of inactivity.

So this either means that Darkcomet, EagleWiz, Fin, FF Fanboy, and Geekyhedgehog cannot miss another day of pointing, for the rest of the game, or they'll be autolycnhed.

Or that Trixie forgot to add the word consecutive to the rule.

I'm not sure if Geekyhedgehog gets a pass, because he posted that he wished to abstain from pointing on day 1.

[Darkcomet]

Personally, I was hiding from the terror that is day 1.

I'm here now, though.

evnafets pointed at Allysian after the latter insinuated he was a power role.

[Trixie]

I'd like to remind those who did not vote the day before of this little rule.

Note that it doesn't say: two consecutive days of inactivity.

So this either means that Darkcomet, EagleWiz, Fin, FF Fanboy, and Geekyhedgehog cannot miss another day of pointing, for the rest of the game, or they'll be autolycnhed.

Or that Trixie forgot to add the word consecutive to the rule.

Oooh! Someone actually read all this! :smalltongue:

Yes, after a bit of consideration I'll amend that to 'consecutive', as I don't want the game to become unfun by keeping slavishly to schedule (well, that or lots of auto's) - after all, we game to have fun :smallwink:

But yes, I'd like the above to vote today, or send an excuse. Come on, that doesn't hurt! :smallbiggrin:


I'm not sure if Geekyhedgehog gets a pass, because he posted that he wished to abstain from pointing on day 1.

Yes, but this was the first and the last time.

Now, we return to the game, this little break is over. Go and lynch something! :smallamused:

[Lex-Kat]

A little birdie told me that LordRod is not to be trusted.

I certainly hope that my birdie is correct, or I'll cook him and eat him. :smallamused:

[geekyhedgehog]

A little birdie llama told me that LordRod is not to be trusted.

:smallbiggrin:

[Trixie]

Oooh! Someone actually read all this!

Um, I went back and it seems no one noticed two curious things that already have happened... and one thing that did not happen. Well, they might have been noticed, but anyone who did spot that had good reasons to be silent.

Oh, and opening narration had three Chekhov's guns, probably obvious only to anyone who saw the F/SN. So, before someone in the future asks - yes, it has been foreshadowed (but if they are duds or not - that depends entirely on players). I'm saying that so no one blames me later for any (mild) surprises and to give the better analysts out there a chance to see them coming (plus, also for reasons tied to game balance) :smalltongue:


Ps. If you really found (or you think you found) anything from the above list, please PM me - while I might not cofirm them, I'd like to see how predictable they were.

[Haruki-kun]

LordRod with filler.

[Murska]

Hm. Odd bandwagon but then, I got no leads yet either...

Jontom Xire.

[EagleWiz]

LordRod without filler.

[Dragoon]

Well, let's if this was a real bird or not LordRod.

[Jontom Xire]

I don't trust this bandwagon against Lord Rod which grew out of nowhere with astonishing speed.

So I point at Murska for the same reason as he is pointing at me - because I don't have a clue.

[Fan]

Fanboy is confuzzled by all the this way, and that way points, and turns to ask Lex Kat for a Tylenol.

[Aemoh]

*shrugs*

*hitches a ride on the LordRod wagon*

[Trixie]

12 hours left.

I'm pleased to see that most of the absent from day one already voted, with one exception :smallwink:

[evnafets]

evnafets points at Haruki-kun for joining the bandwagon.

ShadowCaller/Lex-kat is there a reason behind the point at Lord Rod? A scry or something? I haven't seen any reason behind the bandwagon except "a little bird told me"

Lord Rod - You stand accused of being a dark servant. Do you have anything to say for yourself?

[Cúchulainn]

I know a certain magi who uses construct bird familiars to spy on others, so I guess LordRod is screwed.

[UncleWolf]

I can honestly say I have no frakking idea what is going on.

But, wow...

Umm, I think I will go with LordRod.

Not that there is much choice right now.

[Lex-Kat]

The "Little Birdie" is my euphemism for the Fool/Seer/Villain in Disguise.

I certainly hope that my informant is correct, for his sake. :smallwink:

[evnafets]

I would still like to hear if LordRod has anything to say in his defense.
This might be a tactic to get us to lynch a good guy.

...I'm just saying...

[Darkcomet]

Even though I find you suspicious at this point, I have to agree. The seer can't possibly have scried a proxy AND a wolf. It's only day 2.

[Zar Peter]

Pointing at Haruki-kun

Since I have not much time in the morning and that's the only time the forum is stable enough to post that's it... following evnafets just for fun.

[Trixie]

The city was in the state of shock. Three sudden deaths, including that of honor student, and two respected teachers, made everyone wonder who will be next. It didn't take long for self-defence groups to form, despite efforts of the police to disband them and calm everyone. Soon, one of such groups found a target - a foreigner, who just come to city, and took steps to...

He is a foreing devil!
He is evil!
No, you are evil!
No, you! Wait, we are in the same group!
Burn the witch(er)!
Kill the alien! As in 'immigrant', not as in 'xeno'.
Purge the unclean!
Wait, you have some sort of crystal ball that you are so sure?
Shut up! Kill! Kill! Kill!

And so, after a ferocious stabbing, at was found that...

The target is some random, innocent guy, so unimportant that he didn't even have a role. Meanwhile, in the other part of the city...

Hello, Caster.
Hello, my dear.
And farewell, witch.
What, so soon?
I don't mind that you used me to kill Kotomine... But I mind using me, so...
Oh, well. Truly, stairway to hell is paved with good intentions. Can't I talk you out of it?
Well, it so happens that you lost your controlling powers. So, no, I'll take that as a smile from the fortune that you lost your so called "master", and off you before you can find next.
...
You see, it is nothing personal. Except it is. Now...

Die already!
As the defeated Servant's body begins to dematerialize, a slightly burned card falls to the ground:

http://img3.cdn.crunchyroll.com/i/spire1/03292008/c/f/9/4/cf949808e94f70_full.jpg
The other Servant smiles, picks it up, and leaves the room.

LordRod was killed. He was a Servant :smalltongue:

It would be up on time, three hours ago, but my 'comp decided to dies as I finished typing this :smallsigh:

Is is second night. Autolynches will be dealt with at the beginning of the next day. You know where you can send your actions :smalltongue:

[Trixie]

Um, I wonder why I never received (in both nights) a single night kill vote from x wolves, nor a single use of ability from a few players, despite them being usable nightly, and the players otherwise active. Yes, I'm not forcing you to use them, but I don't want to hear "I COULD DO WHAT???" after the game, so I'd like to receive PM acknowledging that they know what they can do. Wasted scries and kills make narrators sad :smalltongue:

There, that was the last time I raise this issue. Use them or lose them!

[Lex-Kat]

Even though I find you suspicious at this point, I have to agree. The seer can't possibly have scried a proxy AND a wolf. It's only day 2.
My best guess is that my Little Birdie is part of a Flock.

Caren Ortensia [head mason] - Inquisitor sent by the Church to eliminate all heresy. Mostly concerned about servants, but elimination of several magi along the way will be fine, too. She can lock a person for the whole night for questioning, denying them use of their abilities (essentially, voider). Target can still use his/her abilities, but if they do, Caren accurately guesses the target's role. Day action

Inquisitors [masons] - normal masons, handpicked by Caren to support her in the mission of cleansing the heresy. By fire!

They are counted as citizens when checking for citizens win. They win if at least 50% "named" members of the winning team and 100% of the losing one were eliminated.

[Darkcomet]

...

Words cannot describe how stupid I think that was.

I mean...

Masons keep that up and all of 'em will die after being used as proxies. Baner's dead, after all.

[Fleeing Coward]

That's assuming it was the masons that did this :smallamused:

((Am I allowed to create some paranoia after I died? If not, I'll delete this and keep silent until after the game ends))

[Fostire]

That's assuming it was the masons that did this :smallamused:

((Am I allowed to create some paranoia after I died? If not, I'll delete this and keep silent until after the game ends))
After you die you can say anything you want as long as it doesn't affect the game.

[Fleeing Coward]

After you die you can say anything you want as long as it doesn't affect the game.

Yea, but some narrators have a finer line on what they consider to be affecting the game than others so I just wanted to make sure.

[Cúchulainn]

After you die you can say anything you want as long as it doesn't affect the game.

Dead people don't talk!

[Lex-Kat]

...

Words cannot describe how stupid I think that was.

I mean...

Masons keep that up and all of 'em will die after being used as proxies. Baner's dead, after all.
Please describe it. Because as far as I can see, I'm the one taking the risk. And that means that I'm either a Mason or they took a wild chance that I'm one of the good guys.

If I am a villain, then only one Mason will die. The one who contacted me. And I'm quite certain that if he dies tonight, I'll soon follow. :smallannoyed:

Of course, I could die tonight instead. Because I'm the acting proxy. :smalleek:

[Murska]

Meh... What'd be the point of masons acting as a proxy? They should just come out in the open, gather a couple roles and most importantly spread the mason list to both teams to avoid being killed. Nobody WANTS to kill Masons, after all.

[Trixie]

This night Tōsaka Rin was more busy than ever. Something terrible came to her city, leaving partially digested souls everywhere, killing people left and right. That was something supernatural; talking heads in television might have been talking about a simple serial killer, but no serial killer would have been able to kill two magi. No, it must have been something else.

Wait a second.

There was a fresh trail in one of the dark, murky side alleys to the left of her. She boldly entered one of them...


Only to find nothing. Meanwhile, in the other part of the city...

Hey, nice costume you have there.
Thanks! It is genuine copy of an inquisitorial robe, XVI century vintage. Say, you have nice one yourself, don't you?
It is a bit heavy, though. Solid gold, platinum plating, et cetera.
So...
I'll give you one advice. Do you know what is best in crimson robes?
What?
They are not ruined by blood.
B- But you are not supposed to--
Sorry, never got the memo. I think. Anyway, [stab!]

Lancer was killed. Deleted role.
Fin was autolynched. His role will be given to DS7.
Assassin lost his powers.

And finally... Murska was stbb'd. Dozen times :smalltongue:
He was an Inquisitor.


Night actions will be send in a moment.
Istari has 48 hours to vote or he will be autolynched.

[Trixie]

As I got several PM's asking - yes, check to see if someone lost his/her powers is done at the end of the night, using kills from the day and night. Thus, the result of day death was announced today.

And deleted roles are just that - roles removed due to balance and small number of players :smallannoyed: As I said - one will be announced at the end of each night, but they are almost over anyway :smalltongue:

[Fleeing Coward]

Guess whatever plan you had backfired too Murska?

[Murska]

Not really, my plan went fine... Just couldn't have known in advance that the wolves have for some reason a personal vendetta against neutrals. I don't get the point of that but I guess...

Oh well.

[Fostire]

Dead people don't talk!

What about ghosts?

[Lex-Kat]

I think DeathSlayer7 is not suspicious.

[Deathslayer7]

o yes. the one day i get in here, you're already pointing at me Lex-kat. :smallannoyed:

[Trixie]

Um, we are 60% trough, and... [sigh]

Well, let me remind you that 25% limit for today is exactly 4 votes :smalltongue:

[Dragoon]

"I'm thinking, Lex-Kat, for now.

[Shadowcaller]

Zar peter...

[UncleWolf]

Lex-Kat

It would be a good thing to have a lynch.

Unless you are not a Wolf that is.

[Fleeing Coward]

I'll give the complete list of wolves to anyone who helps me to lynch Murska instead.

[Shadowcaller]

I'll give the complete list of wolves to anyone who helps me to lynch Murska instead.

Oh, come on, don't pull one a funhouse FC. :smallwink:

[evnafets]

Ok, why Lex-Kat?
Is it just a default or do you have any reason?

DeathSlayer7 I can see pointing in retaliation, but everyone else has just been jumping on the bandwagon.

In case you have all forgotten, Lex-Kat is the one who pointed us towards Lord Rod yesterday. He ended up a servant. So why would we on the very next day lynch someone who started the points against a servant???!?

evnafets points at Dragoon for bandwagoning with no reason.
(nb the forums have been a little shaky today, which might explain some of the slow voting)

[Lex-Kat]

:smalleek: Dragoon sounds good to me, also.

Sorry DS7, I won't point at you again for a good three days. Truce?

[Aemoh]

*points at Shadowcaller for the lulz*

AKA, I don't know who I to point at.

[Darkcomet]

Dragoon did hop on that point awfully quickly...

[Haruki-kun]

Dragoon. With filler.

[Cúchulainn]

If I am a villain, then only one Mason will die. The one who contacted me. And I'm quite certain that if he dies tonight, I'll soon follow. :smallannoyed:

Lex-kat is obviously a villain...okay and that llama avatar scares me whenever I see it.

[Deathslayer7]

no on the truce. tis is a WW game. there are no truces. alliances maybe... :smallamused:

and dragoon. since people are vouching for lex.

[evnafets]

Well the vouching bit can go either way. They could be fellow servants rallying around to save a companion evildoer just as well as masons rallying round.

Or it might be just random people.

I didn't realise that Lex-kat had heard the tip about Lord Rod from a Mason - From Murska?

[Zar Peter]

Point at Dragoon

And announce that I'm away from 04.04.09 - 11.04.09 (that's the way I write it at last)

[evnafets]

Point at Dragoon

And announce that I'm away from 04.04.09 - 11.04.09 (that's the way I write it at last)

You're away from April to November??!?!?!? :smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin:

[Zar Peter]

You're away from April to November??!?!?!? :smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin:

And I was born on 29.04.

My brother really got problems in America when police controlled his driving license and said he's not old enough to drive (born 15.06.). He could convince them by claiming that even in Europe there is no 15. month :smallbiggrin:

[Jontom Xire]

It's fairly obvious to do dates in ascending or descending order of magnitude, e.g. DD/MM/YY or YY/MM/DD (which makes for better sorting in a file-system since all files for one year will be next to each other).

Who would be mad enough to do it any other way? Oh, yeah! The Americans. Who are, i believe, the only people who do it that way yet feel compelled to force their way on the rest of us through the likes of Microsoft and the "date" command on Unix-y systems.

Anyway, enough of a rant. it's just that that little feature of Americanism cost me half a day at work if not more recently.

I point at Wolfbane for the same reasons as Evnafets is pointing at Dragoon, but the Dragoon bandwagon just grew all too conveniently.

Also experience shows that numbers 3 or 4 on a bandwagon are more likely to be wolves than number 2.

[Dragoon]

Well, if she was being told by a mason, then I guess Lex-kat was a bad pick for a lynch. *Shakes head at not reading the thread well enough* However, I'm a bad person to lynch, well except for the wolves. Though I think I have a better read on a couple of people's roles. If I survive the day, Wolfbane.

[Murska]

I'll give the complete list of wolves to anyone who helps me to lynch Murska instead.

I believe that's an offer I can't refuse. Murska!

[Fostire]

You're away from April to November??!?!?!? :smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin:

nonono he's gone from april 9th 2004 until april 9th 2011 :smalltongue:

[Trixie]

This evening, a nervous gathering took place in one of the city's largest and most prestigious mansions. Unofficially, that was also the local Yakuza HQ.

- They want to make fool out of me. They killed my daughter! They are encroaching my territory! And you're telling me that you have no leads?

- Well, there is this weird woman from Ireland, who come here a few days ago, that has reput--

- Works for me. Go gun 'er boys!

Dragoon was gunned down. He was Bazett Fraga McRemitz.

Third night begins now.

[Jontom Xire]

That was silly.

I'm still struggling a little with all these roles, but is it just me or was Dragoon immune to night kills? Lancer is gone, right? So that means the only way Dragoon could be killed was by lynch. So why didn't Dragoon or someone come out as BFM much much earlier?

Secondly why was Dragoon, a good guy, pointing at Lex-Kat who exposed Lord Rod?

[Haruki-kun]

Huh? :smallconfused:

I'm missing something?

@Jontom - well, technically, Servants had two more ways of killing any potential troublemaker. Sure, they were needlessly complicated, and required a few sacrifices, but they worked :smalltongue:

[Lex-Kat]

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t288/Vaarsuvius89/satokogif.gif

This picture is just cute. Where is it from?

[Trixie]

4 hours to go. Um, it looks that recent flurry of PM's left one person unable to PM me. Can you send that again? Thank you.

Oh, and I may have a little surprise coming :smallbiggrin:

[Haruki-kun]

This picture is just cute. Where is it from?

Mahoraba..

[Trixie]

So... as a suprise we have this awesome piece of narration from BU, first in this thread! :smalltongue:

"Shh! They'll hear us!" Assassin yelled. Not great at stealth, but the Servant sure could do its job well! Behind it was the rest of the crew with Berserker stomping close behind. Where were they going? Why, the Matō mansion of course! They heard there was candy, lollipops, and other... treats. Saber's mouth was frothing at the thought of all those sugary snacks. It was rather disturbing to say the least.

During their sneaking, a person wearing a name tag saying "Hi, my name is: Mr. Boo" steps into Illyasviel von Einzbern's mansion. Then explosions, and super awesome stuff happens that is totally indescribable to humans. But Mr. Boo was no human, so only he saw the amazing text that was a random action scene. Of course, these explosions and such happened in the Republic of Ireland. There's no style in explosives, so why would Mr. Boo use them? And why would he blow up a fancy mansion? These questions and more will not be answered, but at least I'll wrap this up now.

He snapped his fingers in a way that formed an enticing melody of hope, and love. Okay, really, it's more of just a distracting sound of someone repeatedly snapping their fingers at a certain speed and rhythm. Kinda song-ish, but not really. Anyway, a maid happened across his performance. She was not impressed. I would be, but she wasn't. Instead, she drew a halberd from behind her back, and pointed it at Mr. Boo. "You are an intruder! I will kill you so you die! People die when they are killed! Except Aerith in FF7... because I cheated." Her eyes teared up for some reason, and she continued. "Suddenly I love you! I don't know why!" Mr. Boo smiled, and replied, "I do! It's because my snapping, and North American accent are irresistible!" "What?" She asked, unsure of what crazy form of Japanese he was speaking. Really, he was speaking plain English, but the silly maid didn't know that. Instead, she ignored his words and attacked to protect her Russian/Japanese master!

WOOOSH! The tip of her halberd flew through the air, nearly slicing atoms with its sharp edge. Mr. Boo dodged, but not by conventional means. No, instead, he dodged by jumping onto the blade. Yes, he realized that this plan was going to backfire. In fact, it did rather quickly.

Quack quack! Those were no random words, but rather, the voice of a duck! Strange as this seems, Mr. Boo was beheaded, and revealed to be the simple animal that I just mentioned. As his fake skin flowed down to the ground, he gave one last quack before disappearing from the mansion in a poof of smoke. In his place were the remaining Servants, teleported from the Matō manor. They appeared around the maid in a circular fashion. At first, everyone was confused, but within seconds the Servants raised their weapons to the maid. Well, except Saber, who was passed out from too many candy fantasies.

She didn't stand a chance. Or rather, 'he' didn't stand a chance. See, the maid was really our friendly neighborhood Night Surgeon in cosplay. Why he was in the mansion of a powerful mage is anyone's guess.


Summary:
You lazy little- FINE! Don't read the damn thing!

Night Surgeon (AKA FF fanboy AKA Leysritt) was killed by the Servants. He liked to cosplay a bit too much for his own good [secret villager role - bodyguard].

Afterward, they all had a cup of tea with the Miss Einzbern and said their goodbye's before going back on their daily journey for snacks and candy, and maybe the child catcher.

For some reason, Illya didn't notice Leysritt's corpse until after the Servants had left. Not even during the tea party when her body was being used as if it were a ventriloquists dummy. I swear, Rider's a real jerk sometimes.


Anyways...


DAY 4 BEGINS NOW
...and ends in 48 hours

And two words from me:

Istari was Tōsaka Rin or Sakura Matō. It is hard to tell because he was cosplayed as well and body was never found. Oh, well [autolynch].

Aaaaand, last but not least, Saber was replaced! Final deleted role.

Geeky and Eagle, please vote today. Or else :smalltongue:

[EagleWiz]

Wolfbane placeholder point (of DEATH!)

[UncleWolf]

Eaglewiz as a counterpoint placeholder.

[Fan]

Is it sad that I actually DID cheat the second time around to save her?
:tears up abit:
:smalltongue:

[geekyhedgehog]

Eaglewiz, because my finger's getting bored.

[Lex-Kat]

geekyhedgehog for having a long name.

[evnafets]

evnafets points at Jontom Xire

[Shadowcaller]

I'm going with JX too actually, I still remember Mafia....

[Darkcomet]

...

Hm.

I find Lex's random pointing odd, but previous actions mean Lex is likely a neutral or a good guy.

I have no idea what is going on with JX...

So I'm just going to point at Evnafets for helping to start the Dragoon bandwagon.

[Haruki-kun]

Actually, I'm going for Jontom Xire, too. I find his disagreement with LordRod's Bandwagon rather suspicious.

[EagleWiz]

I have no idea what role Jontom Xire is, but the only other bandwagon is against me.

[Jontom Xire]

Actually, I'm going for Jontom Xire, too. I find his disagreement with LordRod's Bandwagon rather suspicious.

I had to go check what you were talking about. But I'd just like to point out that I believe from the roles description that the bad guys are playing blind, so IF I were a bad guy, how would I know that Lord Rod also was a bad guy to defend him.

Secondly, IF I were a bad guy AND I knew Lord Rod was a bad guy, I wouldn't be so stupid as to defend him.

Secondly I'd like to point out that I didn't point at Lord Rod for exactly the same reasons that I didn't point at Dragoon. So if not pointing at Lord Rod makes me a bad guy, does not pointing at Dragoon make me a good guy with a power role? :smallconfused:

I'm now torn between pointing at Evnafets and Wolfbane:

*) Evnafets started the Dragoon bandwagon which lost us a good guy power role.
*) Evnafets reasoning against Dragoon equally validly applied to Wolfbane.

Except that the second argument implies that Wolfbane is more likely to be innocent, and in turn if he is guilty then it implies that Evnafets is too.

So I point at Evnafets.

[Aemoh]

*points at Evnafets to even the wagons*

Though I'd kinda prefer JX & Evnafets alive, usually. *shrugs*

[Trixie]

Three votes to go, eight hours, and two almost equal bandwagons. Everything can happen yet :smalltongue:

Ps. As the new players were unsure about this - yes, you can change your point, just mark a line across your old one with the last icon on editing panel.

[Cúchulainn]

Jontom makes some good points, but his post is too long and well detailed, suspiciously so!

[Jontom Xire]

My posts are always too long and well detailed. :smallfrown:

I wish people would be suspicious of me for reasons that AREN'T things I do EVERY game regardless of whether I'm a good guy or bad guy. Getting lynched as a good guy is all part of the game, but at least be suspicious for good reasons, please? :smallfurious:

I also get a bit depressed, although not too much of course, when I do things that are suspicious and no-one notices!

:smallcool:

[geekyhedgehog]

Jontom's logic about evnafets makes sense...

[Deathslayer7]

goes with evnafets

[UncleWolf]

I will point at JX now. My placeholder is done holding my place.

[evnafets]

Oh I do have a very good reason for pointing at Jontom.
And no Jontom, its not anything you did really.

I received intelligence that Jontom has been scried as Rider - a servant.

I didn't just come out and say this because it would tip off other servants. By just pointing and not giving any reason, it may have flushed out a few other servants who joined the counter-wagon against me.

So Jontom Xire is Rider is Evil.
I'm not 100% certain of the source, but its worth testing in any case.

[evnafets]

I had to go check what you were talking about. But I'd just like to point out that I believe from the roles description that the bad guys are playing blind, so IF I were a bad guy, how would I know that Lord Rod also was a bad guy to defend him.

Secondly, IF I were a bad guy AND I knew Lord Rod was a bad guy, I wouldn't be so stupid as to defend him.

Secondly I'd like to point out that I didn't point at Lord Rod for exactly the same reasons that I didn't point at Dragoon. So if not pointing at Lord Rod makes me a bad guy, does not pointing at Dragoon make me a good guy with a power role? :smallconfused:

I'm now torn between pointing at Evnafets and Wolfbane:

*) Evnafets started the Dragoon bandwagon which lost us a good guy power role.
*) Evnafets reasoning against Dragoon equally validly applied to Wolfbane.

Except that the second argument implies that Wolfbane is more likely to be innocent, and in turn if he is guilty then it implies that Evnafets is too.

So I point at Evnafets.


Yes I admit I started the bandwagon against Dragoon. But who was to know what role he would turn out to be? As Jontom Xire said, the logic applied equally well to Dragoon and Wolfbane. Indeed, he picked the wolfbane path.
I chose Dragoon, basically because Wolfbane gave the reason "Better to lynch somebody than nobody", whereas Dragoon gave none.

Both of their points came after the narrator's "hurry up and vote or you won't lynch anyone" post, so I was ambivalent about pointing at either of them, but I thought either would be better than Lex-Kat.

Having said that though, I don't think you should be pointing at me. Your attention should turn to the ones who FOLLOWED the bandwagon as much or more than to the ones who started it.
Suspicion naturally falls on one who leads a bandwagon. Wolves turn that to their advantage. They follow a bandwagon they know is "safe" for them (kills someone who is not a wolf), and then attack the person who started the bandwagon.

"Oh" you say, "But this is a blind game - the servants don't know one another".
That was true for the start. But FleeingCoward's waving of the "Kill Me" banner on the first day probably got a bunch of them together. At least two or three of them would have been in contact from the first night.

Anyway, even if this is too late, I hope you will weigh my words, and lynch Jontom Xire tomorrow, and take a close look at those who supported him against me today.

[Darkcomet]

Hm. I'm not sure who to believe here...

*thinks*

Ah, screw it, me doing something based on voting patterns never works out.

JX

[Haruki-kun]

Secondly, IF I were a bad guy AND I knew Lord Rod was a bad guy, I wouldn't be so stupid as to defend him.

Secondly I'd like to point out that I didn't point at Lord Rod for exactly the same reasons that I didn't point at Dragoon. So if not pointing at Lord Rod makes me a bad guy, does not pointing at Dragoon make me a good guy with a power role? :smallconfused:

Seriously?
I'm tired of people coming up with "I wouldn't do this if I were". It's not a valid argument, we don't know if you would or wouldn't do this.

Second, if as, you say they are blind, then whether or not you'd be "so stupid as to defend him" does not mater.

But mostly? I don't think a player as experienced as you could vote against a bandwagon in a game like this one for a reason as simple as not liking how fast the bandwagon formed. But I do believe it likely that you tried to convince us of it. Besides, you don't have to have a full wolf network in order to try to protect a fellow wolf. You just have to know one.


I don't trust this bandwagon against Lord Rod which grew out of nowhere with astonishing speed.

Let's be fair for a moment. This game has 20 or so players. How many wolves do you think that means there are? Three? Four? Five, tops. Sure as hell isn't 7. Do you honestly think that a band of wolves that small would vote all in one go and expose themselves like that? Not to mention: You say they were blind, so they couldn't be organized. Then what kind of bandwagon would you not like for forming so fast, Jontom?

[Jontom Xire]

Oh bogger.

Ok, all bad guys contact me NOW!!! Yes I'm rider and I know the devil so please get in touch NOW!

The last time I did this no-one got in touch and the bad guys failed to form a network and lost horribly. Frankly guys, you're not doing so well. You killed our best ally, Fleeing Coward, before he told us who all the good guys that had contacted him were. Nice going...NOT!! :smallfurious:

So PM me now before I get lynched.

---

This game has gone so pear shaped. I got a nice role, but then could do nothing effective with it. it would have been a lot more fun if we had been in contact together from the start.

Also Trixie is still umming and ahhing over what should happen if the bad guys all vote to kill a bad guy. Her initial idea was that the target dies. Please can people all give her their opinion. I think it's a really bad idea and would ruin the game even more for the bad guys.

[Trixie]

Um, what? :smallconfused:

We already resolved that two days ago when you finally sent me your arguments. You're beating dead horse, there :smallsigh:

Narration will be posted in a few minutes, as soon as I'll count the votes.

[Trixie]

This time our (un)reliable narration takes us to a modern TV studio, where everyone is working on the new episode of popular local TV Quiz. The atmosphere, which is understandable in the light of recent events, is a bit gloom, but everyone is trying their best to make up for it. As they say, "The Show must go on".

Finally, there comes the moment. Light are faded, recording equipment whirs into life, and a host begins presenting guests to the audience. First round of questions begins!

So... let's start with the nice lady here.

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h320/SpiritGem85/Anime/Fate%20Stay%20Night/riderbread.jpg

Okay, Miss... Rider, is it? Why is 'Fate/Stay Night' not referred to by proper English title (which would be something along the lines of "The Night the Fate Stood Still", as in the classic movie) but with this mangled monstrosity?

Um... Do you mean African or European version of the title?

Sorry, miss, but this is...

Both bad and cliche answer!

Now, Mister... Gilgamesh here? Weird outfit, by the way. Um, but very nice. No need to point all these swords at me!

http://www.trayespace.com/images/Fate%20Zero%20Vol.%204%20and%20Return%20to%20Zero/Gilgamesh%20Zero.jpg

Why? Oh, why, it's simple, you mongrel. It's called Engrish (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlindIdiotTranslation?from=Main.Engrish).

Yes, excellent! And now, you've earned right to pick a second question: What will happen to Rider?!

What? Oh, Jontom Xire will be fireballed by narrator. He knows for what. But ticking him off too badly plays a large part in it.

Um... what?

Rocks (on fire!) fall, Rider dies. Horribly. Again, this card is picked by unnamed Servant:

Fourth night begins. It will last 24 hours. And it seems someone forgot to send his day action :smallamused:

[Istari]

As I said in central my internet went down and I'm sorry I got auto'ed
Good Luck Team Villager

[Trixie]

Um, yeah.

Sorry about that, but after almost two weeks without a note I sort of had to do it. The sad thing is, the were no takers for a possible seer role in the replacement thread :smallconfused:

[Istari]

I don't blame you
but now I has a sad that I am not playing

[Fleeing Coward]

Um, yeah.

Sorry about that, but after almost two weeks without a note I sort of had to do it. The sad thing is, the were no takers for a possible seer role in the replacement thread :smallconfused:

But I did offer and I had a suicidal super seer ability from day one to help me too :smalltongue:

[Trixie]

After the recent edition of the TV Quiz, this time we go to the studio to witness "Who will be killed next", a new, radical Reality Show. Today, we look at our guests that are being presented by host of the show as we speak.

In the left corner, Mr. Ryūdō. In the right one, Mr. Matō.

So, the big question is - as always - who will be killed next?!

Mr. Assassin? Can you comment on this one, please?


http://finality.dasaku.net/wp-content/uploads/assassin-lol-350x262.jpg

Is this thing on...? Okay. So, me and my colleagues are firm proponents of democratic system, and instead of choosing at random this very day, we decided to listen to the voice of demos. Namely, us.

And your choice?

That was, by majority vote, Mr. Sh--

Objection!!

Um, can he do that?

I'm afraid so, as the holder of-

Okay, let's not spoil it, for now. Sorry, it actually turns out that majority changes somewhat and I'll get to behead...

As you can undoubtedly say, someone or something slightly influenced night voting today. DeathSlayer7 was beheaded. He was Issei Ryūdō [secret villager role - minor seer].

It is now Day 5. 48 hours, as usual, but I'm thinking about 24 or 36 hours from next day, as we have a smaller group (half the starting size). Unless you think it is a bad idea due to the Easter - let me know :smallwink:

By the way, I'd tell Zar Peter to vote today, or else, but he gave me an away notice beforehand so he'll be given another day.

[Deathslayer7]

*wonders what i did to deserve a night killing* :smallconfused:

ah well. makes it easier on me. one less WW game to worry about.

[evnafets]

Well I'm going to start following up on those yesterday who pointed at me rather than Jontom - maybe they were servants trying to protect him.

evnafets points at geekyhedgehog

[Lex-Kat]

I'll point at EagleWiz. For now.

[Haruki-kun]

I'm pointing at geekyhedgehog for now.

[Aemoh]

*points at Haruki-kun for being above me*

[geekyhedgehog]

evnafets, I think you've got the right idea, but the wrong suspect.

instead, I suspect Aemoh, for jumping on the first real not-JX bandwagon (and being the first to jump on said wagon without a real reason)

the way I see it, Darkcomet had a placeholder, nothing more (and see also evnafets's logic on wagon-leaders). JX had a counter-point, to draw fire away from himself. The first to fall under suspicion for pointing at evnafets, would be Aemoh, methinks.

[Darkcomet]

I'mma gonna go with Aemoh.

[UncleWolf]

I'll point at Eaglewiz. Mainly because I don't know much at this point and I want to see if we could have another 5 way tie. :smalltongue:

[EagleWiz]

Aemoh as a non-eagle bandwagon canidate!

[Cúchulainn]

Eaglewiz for the same reasons as Wolfbane.

[Haruki-kun]

Aemoh.

Trying to force a tie was fun the first five times I saw it. But seriously, we're trying to catch wolves here.

[Trixie]

~12 hours to compensate for downtime added. 2 votes to go, and two almost equal bandwagons. Hmmm, sounds interesting :smallwink:

[Trixie]

Another glorious piece from our Co-narrator :smalltongue:

Someone walks up to Aemoh and whispers something in their ear. They look shocked, and horrified by whatever it is that the person had said. "I did not lose!" they cry, "It's not really possible to lose if there was no chance to win in the first place!" But alas, it is very possible as a giant vortex appears before them. The whisperer scampers off just as Aemoh is sucked inside.

After hours of living through the Dr. Who intro and song, they appear before a court. There, a judge resembling Queen Victoria continuously shouts "Off with their head! Off with it!" until eventually the jury gives its verdict. They announce that the the person is not guilty.

It's really too bad that Aemoh was beheaded by a zombified Peter Cook just before the verdict was given.

Summary:
Aemoh was Lynched! He was an Inquisitor.
Meanwhile, the Servants were all together having a sleep over at Assassins. A pillow fight broke out soon after everyone arrived. Berserker won...

It is now fifth night. As usual, 24 hours. We are entering the final stages, so you'd better use all remaining resources you still have in order to win! :smallwink:

[Aemoh]

Before I could even get a chance to defend myself... ah well.

G'luck masons.


EDIT: Just a quick edit. Realized my comments might be tiny bit influential.

[Trixie]

This time, instead of usual inane cutscenes the audience gets to witness some of the inside mechanisms of the game.. as well as cool battle, which literally blew our budget-of-the-day! :smalltongue:

We apologize for crappines in advance, as I don't have time nor head today to write anything better.

[Act #1]

In which someone is "killed".

Um, tum, te tum... why everyone get to be on holiday, stuffing themselves with sugar bunnies and eggs, and... Why I had to win this stupid pillow game? [sighs] If I knew this means patrol duty... Oh, here goes a potential target. One kill and maybe I'll be back in time to... Wait, who are you?

Well, it looks like you're not targeting me this time - but to stay on the safe side - are you a servant?

Who asks?

Nevermind. Go kill yourself!

...Excuse moi?

You know, I'm a holder of--

Yes, yes, I get it. You don't have to spoil anything. One minute-- [checks rules].

...

A-ha! It says right here that killing other servants is very difficult! I get a re-roll! Logically, killing myself should be almost impossible!

Um, normally, yes. But my orders override that, you know.

Oh, bummer. Killing myself will be a huge pain in the a-- Wait a second [checks rules, again].

Hey, I don't have time fo--

A-ha! It says right here that I'm immune to night kills! And, honestly, you're quite lucky, Mr. Controller - if I weren't, my counterkill ability would get rid of you, as well.

...Excuse moi?

By the way, a curious ability you have here. A bonus power role, I'd wager, eh?

How do you know?

You see, with all these one-shot bonus villager roles... and the surprises we've got... Well, honestly, that wasn't hard to deduce. But, given strength of that ability, and the late time you begin to use it, I'd guess it is not unlimited, is it? Honestly, we were surprised you've managed even that much.

...That's it, I'm outta here.

Oh... But we aren't. You can count on us... We'll be back, when you'll finally run out of steam, Mr. Controller :xykon:

And a bonus piece of info from Team Evil - your usage of that ability was so far superb - but, you see, keeping yourself alive was quite a good thing for us, too, as most of our choices for a kill were more damaging to us than yours, heh heh. A pity you won't be helping us for long. Notice - most.

[Act #2]

In which someone corrects his out-of-character behavior.

Hey! I object! I'm a professonal! I have an MBA! I refu--

...

Just look on us:

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x62/willkhoo92_photo/FateStayNightGroup14.jpg

We are professionals. Why do I have to act like a dumb Berser--

Oh [sighs] Well then, I'll do it - but only once: Arrr, me smash puny humiez! I definitely need a new agent.

And that piece of great acting concludes our narration, as today's target was immune to night kills.

Day Six - 48 hours. Shadowcaller, Zar Peter - please vote today. Or else. :smalltongue:

[Zar Peter]

I point at Cuchulainn... because I never pointed at him and because I can't find this nice strike over the u.

[Lex-Kat]

I'll go with EagleWiz, as I did the day before.

Unless someone gives me a better choice. I'm open to suggestions. :smallsmile:

[EagleWiz]

geekyhedgehog apparently has a bad voting record. Lets kill him.

[Cúchulainn]

Zar Peter for the riposté. :smalltongue:

Otherwise I got nothing. Berserker was attacked at night so I doubt he was scried. Neutrals getting killed left and right. At least this is entertaining. :smallbiggrin:

[Lex-Kat]

geekyhedgehog apparently has a bad voting record. Lets kill him.
Good enough. geekyhedgehog it is.

[Haruki-kun]

Geekyhedgehog.

[evnafets]

I'm going to label anyone yesterday who ended up pointing at Aemoh as "not-inquisitors" Potentially those who were pointing at others are fellow inquisitors, but thats uncertain.

But those who ended up pointing at Aemoh:
GeekyHedgehog
Darkcomet
EagleWiz
Haruki-kun

potential suspects for being servants - or at least not being inquisitors.

evnafets points at GeekyHedgehog as well.

[Darkcomet]

I'm no Servant or Inquisitor. You ignore the fact that I pointed at Jontom-and I could've kept pointing at YOU, Evnafets-I took my vote from your wagon and placed it on Jontom, and guess who he was?

Geekyhedgehog

[EagleWiz]

I didn't expect the evnaftesian inquisition! :smallwink:

And how we got this far without anyone making that joke, i will never know.

[evnafets]

Nobody expects the evnafetsian inquisition!

My chief weapon is exceptional vote analysis and insurmountable logic.

Hold on. I can't have two chief weapons can I?

My two weapons are exceptional vote analysis and insurmountable logic. And an unerring instinct for finding wolves.

Doh! Thats three not two.

My three weapons are exceptional vote analysis, insurmountable logic and an unerring instinct for finding wolves. And an ability to keep a relatively low profile.

ARGH!

I'll just come in again shall I?

[Trixie]

And how we got this far without anyone making that joke, i will never know.

Actually, I did it, on day one, given that the Head Mason had Spanish-sounding name and was Inquisitor. Anyone who received abduction PM can confirm how bad it was :smalltongue:

Anyway, I have temporary net problems, so this narration will be about my only activity today and tomorrow. Thanks for providing idea for it :smallwink:


This day sees pitiful remains of Team Caren on their never ceasing hunt. Their task was clear - get rid of the heresy, and while the number of Mages and heretics in the city dwindled, the Alien, from beyond, remained strong. But they had a target now - a most dreaded beast...

M'lady, what do you think it is?

A creature most foul, without doubt. You see, I think a traditional method would be best to best this beast. A-ha, Hat Trick!

But what it is?

Given the empirical evidence, I believe this is the Hedgehog of Geekybannog. Open the Book of Armaments!

And the Saint Attilla--

Skip a bit, brother.

Five is right out! Amen.

Amen! Excellent. Now bring me the Holy Hand Grenade!

..Of Antioch?

No, of Shanghai. We had to outsource production, cutting costs, you know.

...oh.

Excellent. One... Two... Six hundred-sixty-six!

Fi... Three, M'lady!

Whatever [throws the HHG at the Unholy Beast]

Unfortunately, the Hand Grenade was a dud. But then, suddenly, an undead, killer Rabbit of Caerbannog, still angry at its untimely demise, appeared, and bit the head off this impostor.

This time, two cards fall to the ground - one out of Geekyhedgehog's pocket, one belonging to him, as his role was given half of the another Servant's powers:

http://img1.cdn.crunchyroll.com/i/spire3/03262008/6/0/e/c/60ec748593ef60_full.jpg
http://img3.cdn.crunchyroll.com/i/spire2/03272008/a/a/b/e/aabe4e922980d0_full.jpg

Geekyhedgehog was Gilgamesh, secret Archer-class Servant role.

24 hours for night actions.

Please, vote, as the only thing that allowed the Controller to sway the voting was the general absence, allowing him to control large percentage each time (also, I noted the lack of other, good actions) :smalltongue:

[Shadowcaller]

Zar Peter, just to start off.

[Zar Peter]

Zar Peter, just to start off.

Shadowcaller has a secret night action!!!

[Trixie]

Sorry for the late post. Problems with internets.

This night, Illiasviel von Einzbern tried to decipher identifity of another player. She was so busy that she missed ominous shadow behind her back...

...belonging to some stray cat. Meanwhile, the Caren's team was resting in their hideout, totally oblivious about two Servants who came near it...

...but they simply passed by. In yet another part of the city, the unnamed Mage who was so successfully controlling past nights awoke to a scream...

...it turned out that he left his TV on and it was playing the "Blair" movie. In yet another place, a nameless Servant was approaching grave danger...

Ha, I bet (almost) every remaining player thought he is going to die :smallamused:

Or not, as I overdid it on purpose :smalltongue:

Actually, the Controller did not left his TV on - it was a diversion - as he went downstairs to turn it off, he was stabbed in the back by the knight in the black armor. He never had a chance to utter even one word, proving:

A) That Sword is indeed mightier than Pen (as his spoken commands are written, not said, in this game)
B) Third time's the charm.

Evnafets was backstabbed. He was Shinji Matō, secret controller role.

Incidentally, Gilgamesh would lose his powers now, but he is dead anyway :smalltongue:

Well, Shadowcaller was to be lynched, but it seems he woke up. Nevertheless, he and Wolfbane must vote during this day.

It is now Day 7, 48 hours remaining.

[Lex-Kat]

Shadowcaller, because he has a secret night action. :smalltongue:

[Cúchulainn]

evnafets released a list of potential servants, one of whom was successfully lynched, then he was killed (which was bound to happen) so I think we should start checking people off his list. Next down the list is Darkcomet.

[Haruki-kun]

evnafets released a list of potential servants, one of whom was successfully lynched, then he was killed (which was bound to happen) so I think we should start checking people off his list. Next down the list is Darkcomet.

Speaking as one of the players in that list, I have to speak up.

With nine players left you're gonna start ticking people off a list of four people? Assuming ALL the wolves aren't in that list, by the time we're done with it, the wolves will have won.

Not to mention, remember what evnafets actually said?


I'm going to label anyone yesterday who ended up pointing at Aemoh as "not-inquisitors" Potentially those who were pointing at others are fellow inquisitors, but thats uncertain.

But those who ended up pointing at Aemoh:
GeekyHedgehog
Darkcomet
EagleWiz
Haruki-kun

Not masons. Why is not being a mason bad? Especially in a game where Masons are neutral.

I'm starting to think someone is actually trying to take advantage of this list instead.

EDIT: Also, you didn't seem to trust him much yesterday when geekyhedgehog was walking to the gallows, Cúchulainn.

[UncleWolf]

Thanks Trixie, I've been busy with a lot of stuff recently.

Oh...wow.

This is the last game I am actually playing. :smalleek:

Analysis and point to come in the morning.

[Cúchulainn]

I'm starting to think someone is actually trying to take advantage of this list instead.

EDIT: Also, you didn't seem to trust him much yesterday when geekyhedgehog was walking to the gallows, Cúchulainn.

Nice try there, but you just lit yourself up like a candle Haruki-kun. 2 of the people on the list were werewolves, odds are good the other 2 will be, regardless of that I'd rather trust evnafet's instincts as a proven good guy than the bandwagons everyone is following. And you're accusing me of taking advantage and not trusting him when you're on the list and I'm not? I think my voting record speaks for itself, you're the first one to seriously point at me anyway.

EDIT: Also incase you hadn't noticed, I put in my (joke) vote before evnfets posted his list and afterward there were 5 votes against him so I didn't need to swap.


EDIT2: Double-retracting, my vote above for Darkcomet is now valid.

[Haruki-kun]

Nice try there, but you just lit yourself up like a candle Haruki-kun. 2 of the people on the list were werewolves, odds are good the other 2 will be,

Which totals up more wolves than there even are in the freakin' game.


And you're accusing me of taking advantage and not trusting him when you're on the list and I'm not? I think my voting record speaks for itself, you're the first one to seriously point at me anyway.

You're honestly shielding yourself behind that? Seriously?

Evnafets being a good guy doesn't mean his suspicions were completely right. And it doesn't mean that anyone not in the list is innocent. Plus I've never seen anyone shove their voting record in anyone's face before. "Look! this proves I'm innocent!" it proves nothing, and it most certainly does not speak for itself.


EDIT: Also incase you hadn't noticed, I put in my (joke) vote before evnfets posted his list and afterward there were 5 votes against him so I didn't need to swap.

Yeah. Your point?

[Darkcomet]

I'm no Servant or Inquisitor. You ignore the fact that I pointed at Jontom-and I could've kept pointing at YOU, Evnafets-I took my vote from your wagon and placed it on Jontom, and guess who he was?

Geekyhedgehog

I be quotin' mahself.

And I don't really like the look of this, so...

Shadowcaller for uncharacteristic inactivity.

[Shadowcaller]

Cúchulainn, I have reasons for my inactivity...

[Cúchulainn]

Which totals up more wolves than there even are in the freakin' game.

I haven't been keeping track of the game since it's my first, but I'm pretty sure there are at least 2 left that haven't been killed. Prove me wrong here because I can't be bothered looking back through the pages and Trxie only crosses people off on the first page, he doesn't list their roles.


You're honestly shielding yourself behind that? Seriously?

Evnafets being a good guy doesn't mean his suspicions were completely right. And it doesn't mean that anyone not in the list is innocent. Plus I've never seen anyone shove their voting record in anyone's face before. "Look! this proves I'm innocent!" it proves nothing, and it most certainly does not speak for itself.

2 people on the list were werewolves, am I the only one who actually does look at the voting records of people? I'm not saying it proves me innocent, but I've done nothing suspicious, you're barking at shadows and you're gonna end up lynching a non-werewolf again.


Yeah. Your point?

My point is that switching my vote to Geeky to follow a bandwagon when it was already set would have been both unnecessary and suspicious.

[Zar Peter]

Point at Cuchulain

Mostly because invoking a list from a dead guy isn't a good idea. Normally the wolves let the list person live as long as the list is correct. When the list is wrong they can kill the person without having fear of getting accused

[Haruki-kun]

In light of new information I'm switching my vote to DarkComet.

[Shadowcaller]

DarkComet...

[Darkcomet]

I sense epic shenanigans going on here.

[UncleWolf]

Um... Sorry if I don't trust you guys right away. But two switches in 5 minutes...

Yeah, I think that is all I need to say. Maybe you could please tell me or post that info?

[Trixie]

Soooo... let's see - we have two bandwagons of two players each.

Well, that is, if Zar Peter's vote was valid, and if not for multiple sudden changes.

Please, no more triple/quadruple/quintuple edits. They make narrator a sad one :smallsigh:

Still, two votes are still missing, and they can change everything (yet).

EDIT: Oh, and we finally see sound analysis and strategic thinking! :smallbiggrin:

[UncleWolf]

Well, I have to point before I get auto'd.
Sorry DarkComet, unless you have proof that can counter what I have been told...

[Zar Peter]

Soooo... let's see - we have two bandwagons of two players each.

Well, that is, if Zar Peter's vote was valid, and if not for multiple sudden changes.

Please, no more triple/quadruple/quintuple edits. They make narrator a sad one :smallsigh:

Still, two votes are still missing, and they can change everything (yet).

EDIT: Oh, and we finally see sound analysis and strategic thinking! :smallbiggrin:
Sorry, the forums didn't let me use colours... the edits resulted from my try to colour my point. Now it's solved but to make the narrator happy I point again at Cuchulain in the correct colour. With extra U :smallbiggrin:

[EagleWiz]

DarkComet today, the other guy tomarrow

[Trixie]

With extra U :smallbiggrin:

Pssst! You're missing the extra 'n' :smalltongue:

***

It was a fine, clear, beautiful day. It was also a day that remaining Mages tried to change their tactics, as their conventional approach was not working. After much deliberation, it was decided that Ilia and Tohsaka will both try their chosen schools of magic.

What devious plan exactly Illia devised is best left for another story; Tohsaka tried a proved strategy of ambush. Seeing as the Servants needed mana to function, and the city's supplies were being depleted at an alarming rate, she enchanted a handful of gems. These were placed by her in the middle of the city's park, W.E.C.-style, with a complimentary note saying "Free mana, that is, if you're an inhuman monster. Oh, and I've prepared lots of explosive runes during past six days".

And indeed, for a while it seemed her plan will succeed. For a beastly giant of inhuman size happened there at the dusk, attracted by the gem's aura. Unfortunately, for reasons that might be forever unknown to us*, he stood there for ten minutes, trying to read the damn thing.

Well, regardless of the reasons, after all the trouble with the trap, gems, and runes, Tohsaka's patience was at an end. Being so tsundere, she finally snapped, left her hiding spot, and yelled at the giant:

"It's spelled e-x-p-l-o-s-i-v-e, you Idiot! Now jam these letters in-- oh, wait"

The results, as you no dubt already guessed, wasn't pretty.

http://www.rackage.com/images/games/worldinconflict/wic_0604_us_Nuke.jpg

Well, the only thing that was found afterwards, by a mysterious person, was...


http://img2.cdn.crunchyroll.com/i/spire4/03282008/9/7/0/b/970b49b43fb740_full.jpg

...this card.

DarkComet was, as you probably guessed, Berserker.
ShadowCaller was Tōsaka Rin. 'Was' is a good word :smalltongue:

*Namely, we'll probably never know if the Servant in question was illiterate, was literate, but in ancient Greek, so he was unable to read modern Japanese, given a 'bit' different alphabet, of if the blood in his eyes (due to berserking) blurred the letters to the point of unrecognizability.

Oh, and sorry for that final reference. I wonder if anyone got it, though :smalltongue:

***

It is now seventh night. As usual, 24 hours.

Oh, and what the teams do during it might finally cement victory for at least one of them :smalltongue:

[Darkcomet]

:smallbiggrin:

Haha! Got you.

[Trixie]

3.000 views :smallbiggrin:

Anyway, we are still missing some night actions. So, three more hours, but if they are still missing then I'll update anyway. So, you'd better hurry. :smalltongue:

[Trixie]

This time we have special animated narration, filling in the (important) gaps in a written one :smallbiggrin:

As usual, these events might or might not be accurate portrayal of night actions :smalltongue:

***

It was a dark, cloudy night, with only a long stair leading to a temple lit by partially covered moon. A temple where team of inquisitors was scheming their victory. We witness one particular moment, where one late inquisitor is standing watch outside the temple's gate.

What...? I'm on screen? Dammit. If Hollywood taught us anything, it's the thing with guards being attacked just after a scene change, as otherwise the process of guarding is too boring for the 'screen. Dammit. And I was just about to retire in a month...

The hooded figure takes out a picture of his family, then looks around as if searching for someone he can brag about to. Then, he mutters something about interesting things never happening on his watch, before placing his weapons on the table and then going to a toilet without informing anyone. Guess what? He almost reached if before sensing something behind his back. Nevertheless, he boldly ignores it and slams the door shut just before inevitable stabbing.

Arrgh... Damn. Another great stabbing scene ruined, just as I was about to ask him, 'what's tall, lying in a pool of his own blood, and red all over'?

How about... you?

Yeah, I-- wait. In all this excitement, I forgot to look behind me, eh?

Direct hit on the mark, Eisenstein. En garde!

Um, can't we do it properly? You know, the heroic style, with you storming this place, my dear - you'll make a better entrance, and we'll give our audience a better show! They'll love it!

...Excuse me? [loud, deep sigh] Okay. Wait a second...

And then (Movie #1)... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a832ePSH8Es) :smallwink:

You know, it would be nice if you actually watched it before opening next spoiler :smalltongue:

It was a long and drawn out battle. No one seemed to gain any advantage. Finally, exploiting a momentary pause, Assassin asked...

Erm... why are we fighting, actually? Yes, I get that you've probably targeted me during this night, as I almost targeted you, but isn't it convenient that I actually haven't? Heh, it would be ironic if we killed each other this close to the end, handing the victory to the other side. So, let's kill that guy, and I'll buy you... a drink or something?

This guy? As in, that man begging to be offed?

Um... yes?

So... are you saying, that, thanks to you, I wasted both my night vote AND my secondary night kill?

Um... yes...?

You are so dead, rules or no rules.

Aaand... the conclusion of the battle! (Movie #2) :smalltongue: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoGme2ZAC8w)

That movie above this, too :smalltongue:

Saber watched her enemy slowly disappear. Slowly, she inhaled, and...

Awww, cut the melodrama, will you? First, blood from the mouth is anatomical impossibility with this type of slash, if not in almost every possible case, second, you said yourself I wasted my night kill, and third, your Yoda-like act isn't fooling anyone, and certainly not me.

...

Well?

What? I'm good at hiding. I'd be stupid if I'd come right now, I'll wait until you calm down! Next decade, probably. See you later!

Arrrgh.

So... if you... actually wasted your night kills, does that mean I... well, actually survived this night?

Honestly?

Not exactly. EXCALIBUR!

One smoking crater in the ground later...

Well, my job here is done.

Zar Peter was obliterated. He was an Inquisitor.

And finally, an usual end of the night power loss check - sadly,
Caren Ortensia & Dark Saber lose their (additional) powers.

It is now Day 8. 48 hours, but if we have all votes earlier I might end it sooner.

[UncleWolf]

I'll choose Eaglewiz

[Haruki-kun]

EagleWiz! I choose you!

Cuchulain . I am a villager power role. (50% killer 1/game) If anyone has evidance of the probably final bad guy, tell me now.

[UncleWolf]

Cuchulain . I am a villager power role. (50% killer 1/game) If anyone has evidance of the probably final bad guy, tell me now.

Did you succeed? And if so, who?

[Haruki-kun]

Cuchulain . I am a villager power role. (50% killer 1/game) If anyone has evidance of the probably final bad guy, tell me now.

Pray tell, what is this role's name?

Surely those of us who are familiar with the setting would be able to make sense out of it.

[Cúchulainn]

I'm a huge fan of the setting, and I can only think of 1 name that fits that role. Gonna need a name to confirm it.

[Trixie]

+24 hours due to the forums being dead. :smallsigh:

[EagleWiz]

I forget what my role name is but, even if i did know that would prove nothing. Wikipedia anyone? And no, I have not killed anyone, and it looks like the game is about to end.

[Cúchulainn]

Not convinced, so EagleWiz.

[billtodamax]

I forget what my role name is but, even if i did know that would prove nothing. Wikipedia anyone? And no, I have not killed anyone, and it looks like the game is about to end.
*throws popcorn*
Go look at your role PM.

[Lex-Kat]

EagleWiz Too Short

[Trixie]

It was the end of a long, warm day. Illia and Caren, allies as unlikely as they were, began plotting their next move. After a long deliberation it was decided - the most suspicious of the remaining people in the war will be lured into a trap. With this in mind, they made a certain call to lure...

http://blstorage.manga-sketchbook.org/Doujinshi/Square%20Root%20Mitsuzuri/21.jpg

...yeah.

Erm... wait a second, aren't you dead since day one?!

...yeah.

A-ha! I knew something was wrong! You're one of them evil monsters, aren't you?!

...yeah.

In this case... I'll be taking you with me, Assassin!

The lone girl fired an Arrow of Doom at her ex-friend. Unfortunately, Illia and Caren thought of potential Servant tricks like this one, and, before they animated the corpse, they stuffed if with enough C4 to level an entire school.

Sooo... you think that she failed to kill her target in retaliation because it wasn't physically present in narration? Or did she missed that 50% roll?

Nah, my dear Illia. I think she just tried to use her night action during the day. But I think narrator rolled anyway and she missed it regardless of it. Sooo... what's next?

Eaglewiz was Ayako Mitsuzuri - last villager role in the game.

Probably last night - one action can still change the entire outcome (somewhat), or at least the order of victory. 24 hours or the minute I get last action :smalltongue:

[Trixie]

This night, Illia heard something suspicious rummaging downstairs. In the best tradition of the Hollywood flicks, she went downstairs alone...

http://scienceblogs.com/omnibrain/upload/2007/05/CatGun.jpg

...but as you can see, not unarmed. The intruder was a cat, introduced in narration two days ago. Thinking it might be a clever ruse or Assassin's disguise, or maybe because she wanted to sleep in peace, Illia coldly blew the bugger's head off. Yes, we are aware this is not typical little girl behavior.

As it turned out, it wasn't an Assassin, like narrator planned, because Servants went on camping. Thus, no night kill today :smallsigh:

Really, I think someone tries to lose there.

Anyway, the deciding clash that was supposed to finally establish an order of winners during the night will take place today. First person to gather 2-3 votes is lynched, and podium order finally established.

[goes to write final narration].

[Haruki-kun]

Lex-Kat is Assassin.

[UncleWolf]

Lex-Kat. Final day.

[Lex-Kat]

Wait!! I'm confused. What just happened? Why are you two pointing at poor innocent me? :smallconfused:

[Haruki-kun]

Wait!! I'm confused. What just happened? Why are you two pointing at poor innocent me? :smallconfused:

Because I, Illyasviel von Einzbern, scried you as evil last night.

[Lex-Kat]

Awwww man! That's just not right. :smallfrown:

[Trixie]

Well, you could have eliminated won two days ago :smalltongue:

(Btw, we are still awaiting one last action from one player, so please hurry. Update as soon as I got it. Thank you) :smalltongue:

[Cúchulainn]

Lex-kat I guess.

[happyturtle]

*daybanes mah henchpixie*

What do you mean, I'm not actually in the game? :smallconfused: :smallfrown:

[evnafets]

Yeah, I know. It was a night action, and I couldn't choose my target who would actually do the action and in any case I'm dead. But still. Just for fun.

* commands Lex-kat to point at Lex-kat*

* commands Trixie to update with the resolution *

[Lex-Kat]

Points at Haruki-kun for not trusting me one more day. :frown:

[Trixie]

* commands Trixie to update with the resolution *

Who, me? It... it is Cúchulainn's fault! He did not send me that last action fast enough! [shifts blame, throws smoke bomb & runs away] :smalltongue:

Narration will be posted as soon as I'm happy with that last paragraph. Meh, it will be either best or worst piece in this thread. Or both :smalltongue:

[UncleWolf]

Done with that paragraph yet? :smalltongue:

[Trixie]

...yes. [sigh]

Sorry for the delay, I had a hard week in work plus a spotty Internet connection over several days, thus making any bigger post/update nearly impossible :smallsigh:

Give me a few hours of oh so late sleep and I'll log from somewhere with better net access to finally post it :smallsigh:

Anyway, outcome was pretty much set in stone during that last day and I'd be glad if I could have top of next page for that update, so please post comments after I post it :smallbiggrin: Well, honestly, I don't know why do I bother, though, no one reads these. Certainly not Team Evil :smallannoyed:

[Trixie]

Well, here's a long overdue narration (it might be a bit image heavy, so these are hidden)! :smallbiggrin:

Sigh, I'm still not entirely happy about it, but lepiej nie będzie.

As You Probably Know (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AsYouKnow), the last eight days were filled with brutal combat for dominance over the city, the leyline and the powers slowly emerging there:

http://img3.cdn.crunchyroll.com/i/spire2/03292008/2/b/6/8/2b68b5f0321e60_full.gif

Now, it all comes to a single last battle between remaining heroes and monsters, between mages and servants. Between Assassin...

http://img1.cdn.crunchyroll.com/i/spire3/03282008/8/f/5/4/8f54f02f15db60_full.jpg

...and Illiasviel von Einzbern (here, shown executing her trademark attack)...

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m55/Mire82/Motivators/k2i9lx.jpg

Now, it all comes to a single exchange...

Huh. So, our pretty little girl thinks she can beat me?

I don't think, I know. And besides, I have a little surprise in store for you!

Heh, as it happens, I, too--

Caren, attack!

Never mind, then. Saber, destroy them!

Um, Caren, now it would be a good time...

Saber? Don't tell me you are still angry about that...

Well, 'tis but a minor setback. I can handle you alone just fine! En ga--

Freeze!

Suddenly, a new group appears on the battlefield:

http://static4.animepaper.net/upload/thumbs/wallpapers/Fate-Stay-Night/%5Blarge%5D%5BAnimePaper%5Dwallpapers_Fate-Stay-Night_chibicrystal_-edit514.jpg

Who the hell are you guys?!

FBI, thank you very much.

That is, Fate Bureau of Interception.

And before you ask, we are all talking in single color due to the budget cuts.

Anyway, you are placed under arrest.

Hey, wait a mo--

On what charges, exactly?

Good question. On the charges of delinquency, assault, aggravated battery...

Murder...

Yeah, the list is quite long.

Weren't you all dead?

Again, good question. You see, this WW game was set to function like the original, PC game.

Which, incidentally, had about four dozen endings...

Most of them bad.

...and three to five alternate storylines...

...depending on how you counted them...

So, you can assume we come from the alternate reality of the game.

In which Murska, Jontom, Coward, and company were not necessarily killed, but, for example, won, or at least lived to the end.

And it so happens we are both interested in punishing their deaths here and we are the only ones powerful enough to do it.

So, you're under arrest for killing us. Well, not us, but...

Hey... it is all fine and well, but I cannot but wonder how you intend to do this without your weapons and armor, huh?

Ha... It's because we are just a decoy! CIA, attack!

Arising from seemingly nowhere, two figures in futuristic armor (really, I don't know from where this picture come from, but it is kinda cool) attack the Assassin from behind (ahem) and easily overwhelm and subdue him (and, incidentally, if you were wondering, CIA stands for Caster's Innovative Attackers. Yes, nobody said she was good at naming things):

http://omaemo.dasaku.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/fate-stay-alternative.jpg

Do... does this mean I won? Yay!

Not so fast, girlie [clack].

One second later, Lancer, who was seemingly absent in this game (seriously, I can't believe nobody googled one of the strangest nicks in this game :smallamused: ) slapped handcuffs on Illia's hands.

You're coming with us, little girl. Seriously, why was my character cut?

But...

Save this for the trial.

Heh, Judge Berserker will sure pulp them good for that.

And that was the end or the final battle in the game.

***

As for Dark Saber, she (as she claimed later, cunningly) overslept after stuffing herself with the best delicacies the last night, when she tried to forget about the fiasco that were her actions. Nevertheless, after she found what happened, she shed one (insincere) tear after Assassin, then, bolsted herself with the energy contained in the cards she collected after the deaths of all other Servants (as she also picked the card of the Assassin, lost in the struggle, and added it to her own):

http://img2.cdn.crunchyroll.com/i/spire4/03282008/f/1/c/8/f1c8743af03180_full.jpg
http://img2.cdn.crunchyroll.com/i/spire4/03262008/3/6/c/1/36c1f573926f40_full.jpg

Armed with all that IDDQD power, she casually went into the bases of all remaining Mage organizations & Churches militant (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChurchMilitant) and pwned them all in a reign of terror, violence and torture (that would make a smashing film, incidentally). After she found that there is no more to own, she went after the muggle organizations, and, after a week, she owned them to a such degree that she was crowned God-Emperor of Mankind* :smalltongue:

http://img1.cdn.crunchyroll.com/i/spire3/03292008/7/d/0/1/7d0140e8077470_full.jpg

Unfortunately, as the picture of a goth girl was not splendid and terrifying enough, she ordered the best photoshoppers of her new realm to make her a more majestic visage for public usage:

http://img3.cdn.crunchyroll.com/i/spire1/03262008/f/9/2/d/f92d32c9880010_full.jpg

*by the way, maybe, as our times are far less sexist and patriarchal than those of Ancient Britain, she actually took female title this time. Who knows? :smalltongue:

***

As for Caren, she, irresponsible as always, overslept, too. When she found what happened, she carefreely went to Minorca, thinking her job was well done, defrauding the money she was given on three month long vacation. Upon returning, when she found out her workplace was kicked out of business by Saber (along with all other churches with inquisitorial tendencies) she began a new career. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Match_Girl) Sadly, she never shared the girl's fate due to the proceedings from all of the priceless artifacts she 'liberated' from the various people she kidnapped/imprisoned in this game.

***

And that is al... wait, there is actually a postscriptum:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/wcloudx/figures/652380e44a31f6d7773f86deb04f0c13.jpg

Um, wait a moment... Sakura, what are you doing gripping my shoulder?

Well... you see [sob] I never got a proper death scene, as I was the only person totally autolynched [sob] and a fool at that... So... I thought that I hadn't got a death scene, then logic dictates I'm still alive, right?

And?

Well... [sob] You owe me something, right? It's only due to my influence that you got that 'Dark' part in your name, right?

And?

Well... A little princedom and a prince charming (Not Ansom, though!) would be a nice repa--

No.

[Smashing scene of violence and dozens of stabbings]



FIN! :smallbiggrin:
Plus a nice, short ending video, which, fittingly, features Saber. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vv3t355qYE&feature=related)

Wait... what's that? You want to know actual results? :smallconfused:

Isn't that nice narration enough? :smallconfused:

Oh, well, then... LexKat was eliminated on day 8. She was...

Dark Saber :smalltongue: I bet you wish you killed Illia instead of Tohsaka and retained your kill immunity :smallamused:

On the night 8, the last night action took place:

HarukiKun, the Illiasviel von Einzbern, was killed by Assassin, played by Cúchulainn.

As the Team Good was eliminated on that point, Wolbane (Caren Ortensia) escaped certain death and also went to the final round.

Finally, thanks to the Cúchulainn's survival Team Evil pretty much Won :smallwink:

Alas, Wolfbane, the only hope of Team Neutral also fulfilled their victory conditions... albeit only one of them survived to tell the tale, it was the most important one :smalltongue:

As the game does not have rules for draws, it can be said they will both instead will occupy the two lower places of the podium.

Sadly, the third contender for victory, Shinji, is dead, so he cannot make an appearance :smalltongue:

Oh, and finally...

Dark Chibi Saber says:
Fate/Stay Night II: Ultimate Blade Wolf will start in a few months. Or not. Depends on interest, really.

Game Over~! :smallbiggrin:

The promised comments on performance, balance of the game and actions will be posted tomorrow, if someone reminds me.

Oh, here is a nice post-game opinion, stolen from LexKat :smalltongue:

1. How did you like the game?
2. What did you think of the narrations?
3. Did the narrator(s) do a good job?
4. Was the game balanced?
5. Any complaints?
6. Would you play again?

[Fostire]

1. How did you like the game? It was good, but it would have been better if I had stayed alive longer :smalltongue:

2. What did you think of the narrations? they were awesome

3. Did the narrator(s) do a good job? best I've seen

4. Was the game balanced? I think it was

5. Any complaints? nope

6. Would you play again? definitely

[Cúchulainn]

1. How did you like the game? It was awesome despite me making alot of silly mistakes. :smallbiggrin:
2. What did you think of the narrations? Cool style, I expected it to be more serious but all of them had me grinning. Last one was the best.
3. Did the narrator(s) do a good job? Yes, thanks Trixie (and the other guy, I think he changed name or something)
4. Was the game balanced? I don't think I'm qualified to answer! :smallcool:
5. Any complaints? Nope.
6. Would you play again? Yeah!

[Fleeing Coward]

1. How did you like the game? I had my fun. Would have been nice if the wolves hadn't killed me the first night though :smalltongue:

2. What did you think of the narrations? I liked them

3. Did the narrator(s) do a good job? Other than the wait for the result, I think you did great by yourself.

4. Was the game balanced? I think there's a bias towards favouring team evil but guess it could have easily gone the other way too depending on which side the neutrals worked with,

5. Any complaints? Yes, the wolves killing me the first day :smalltongue:
I had the seer, baner, 2 wolves (including the devil), 2 secret villager roles, 2 neutrals (and working on Murska to get the rest) all from that single post I made on day one.
Had I been given a day by the wolves, I'd have handed them the game on a silver platter.

6. Would you play again? Of course.

[Lex-Kat]

Oh, here is a nice post-game opinion, stolen from LexKat :smalltongue:
:smalleek: Gah, thief!!! *Points at Trixie* Stop him!!!
*Hides from PhantomFox* As I stole them from him.


1. How did you like the game? It was fun.
2. What did you think of the narrations? They were good. I liked the pictures. Especially of my role. :smallsmile:
3. Did the narrator(s) do a good job? Yup.
4. Was the game balanced? I consider any game that by the end of it, it could have gone either way a balanced game.

Cúchulainn and I didn't even know that we were both villains 'til the end.
5. Any complaints? Not that I can think of.
6. Would you play again? Very likely.

1. How did you like the game? I had my fun. Would have been nice if the wolves hadn't killed me the first night though :smalltongue:
Wasn't me FC. I didn't even realize I was a villain until the 2nd day, after Murska contacted me. :smalltongue:

[evnafets]

1. How did you like the game?
'twas fun
2. What did you think of the narrations?
I don't know the source material, but they did the job well.
3. Did the narrator(s) do a good job?
I think the narrator intervened a little too much in the game. From what I can tell hints as to who was who and what was what were apparent in the narration. Particularly if you knew the story
Also posting something like "vote now or lose your lynch for the day" affected the game by getting people to vote for no reason - just to lynch someone. Which almost always favours team evil.
4. Was the game balanced?
I don't know, as half the abilities apparently went unused. Team evil losing their ability when they take out their equivalents on team good was a nice twist I liked.
5. Any complaints?
6. Would you play again?


Some interesting fun facts that you may or may not know.

My role was a "secret villager role"


[Secret Villager Role] - Failed "mage" and Sakura's brother. You start the game with book containing three command seals. You can use one command seal to retarget night kill vote or harmful ability of one randomly picked Servant to a person of your choosing. However, if you use all three, there is 50% chance that the targeted servant will kill you in retaliation. You, unlike others, win if Saber and/or Shiro die by your hand, regardless of the means (lynch wagon, night kill, etc).

That is the only reason that I voted to lynch Allysian/Shiro way back on day 1 - because killing him was one of my win conditions.

Lord Rod (Caster: Evil Seer) scried Jontom Xire on the first night. He then told me Jontom's role because I 'defended' him - or at least asked for a reason to lynch when the bandwagon started. So Team Evil was the source of the scry that got Jontom lynched.

Haruki-kun apparently scried me on day1. After I died I received a message from him saying "well there goes the network..." Apparently I was meant to have been contacted - but it never happened.

The "Controller" role managed to affect two night kill targets!?!? Seriously people! It was only one vote!
I was the cause of Deathslayer7's death (sorry dude) - which avoided my own.
The second night I targeted DarkComet, and learned via the narration that he was the berseker.

Expecting to be night killed, I told a random person DarkComet was the berserker: Chuchulain. Bad call on my part it seems.

[Lex-Kat]

3. Did the narrator(s) do a good job?
I think the narrator intervened a little too much in the game. From what I can tell hints as to who was who and what was what were apparent in the narration. Particularly if you knew the story.
I can kinda agree with this, but luckily, I know nothing of Fate/Stay Night. So it meant nothing to me other than a good story. :smallsmile:

[Boo]

2. What did you think of the narrations?
I don't know the source material, but they did the job well.
3. Did the narrator(s) do a good job?
I think the narrator intervened a little too much in the game. From what I can tell hints as to who was who and what was what were apparent in the narration. Particularly if you knew the story
Also posting something like "vote now or lose your lynch for the day" affected the game by getting people to vote for no reason - just to lynch someone. Which almost always favours team evil.

I managed to read the thread last week, but my computer told me to do something awful to myself with a jigsaw, so I didn't tell the Trixter that he was making an old mistake that's sometimes seen in over eager narrators.

Y'know something funny. My first narration in this game was connected to everyone who died. I was writing it for just Night "Fan" Surgeon and wasn't thinking about much else.

None of my narrations (the two of them) were really using any material from the show past the names and locations. Anything else was probably accidentally referenced. I don't think I gave away any hints myself, however.

By the way, Aemoh's scene had a zombified Peter Cook in the courtroom of a Queen Victoria lookalike. Peter Cook played the Mad Hatter in the 1966 version of Alice in Wonderland. I'm just telling you all if you didn't get that reference.

[Fleeing Coward]

3. Did the narrator(s) do a good job?
I think the narrator intervened a little too much in the game. From what I can tell hints as to who was who and what was what were apparent in the narration. Particularly if you knew the story

How much did it give away? I'm not familiar with the story so I didn't notice many clues myself.


Also posting something like "vote now or lose your lynch for the day" affected the game by getting people to vote for no reason - just to lynch someone. Which almost always favours team evil.

I personally see no problem with that. It's just a reminder to vote as far as I'm concerned and if noone's voting, there has to be something wrong.


Lord Rod (Caster: Evil Seer) scried Jontom Xire on the first night. He then told me Jontom's role because I 'defended' him - or at least asked for a reason to lynch when the bandwagon started. So Team Evil was the source of the scry that got Jontom lynched.


So did the masons have anything to do with either of those lynches? I know I gave Murska both Lord Rod and JX before I got killed.

[Cúchulainn]

Cúchulainn and I didn't even know that we were both villains 'til the end.

:smallsigh: I felt stupid for not realizing it earlier. When Trixie used Dark Saber in a narration I found it odd, and I PM'd him to ask if there really was that role, but I guess he lost it so I put it down to the story. Then I think I played a little too thorough of a job pretending to be a good guy to you. I put my terrible playing down to 16 hour work shifts.


How much did it give away? I'm not familiar with the story so I didn't notice many clues myself.

I could piece together some important information from the narrations that I probably wouldn't have survived without. Not too much was given away but things will light themselves up if you're familiar with it.

[Darkcomet]

Lord Rod (Caster: Evil Seer) scried Jontom Xire on the first night. He then told me Jontom's role because I 'defended' him - or at least asked for a reason to lynch when the bandwagon started. So Team Evil was the source of the scry that got Jontom lynched.

The second night I targeted DarkCorax, and learned via the narration that he was the berseker.

Expecting to be night killed, I told a random person DarkCorax was the berserker: Chuchulain. Bad call on my part it seems.

My name is Darkcomet, thank you very much.

[Fostire]

A question to the wolves: Why the heck did you kill fleeing coward?

[UncleWolf]

A question to the wolves: Why the heck did you kill fleeing coward?

Yeah, I had been planning to get him on my side too. Also, were my masons killed on purpose or by sheer accident?

[Fan]

I managed to read the thread last week, but my computer told me to do something awful to myself with a jigsaw, so I didn't tell the Trixter that he was making an old mistake that's sometimes seen in over eager narrators.

Y'know something funny. My first narration in this game was connected to everyone who died. I was writing it for just Night "Fan" Surgeon and wasn't thinking about much else.

*hides his Aeris outfit. >.> *
Totally awesome by the way. Shame I died so early.

[Lex-Kat]

:smallsigh: *SNIP* Then I think I played a little too thorough of a job pretending to be a good guy to you. I put my terrible playing down to 16 hour work shifts.
Yeah, I kinda tried to kill you after that. :smalltongue:

[Trixie]

Cool style, I expected it to be more serious but all of them had me grinning. Last one was the best.

Well, they were planned to be, but after Boo became co-narrator... Huh. Too bad no one found the mirror :smallbiggrin:


I think there's a bias towards favouring team evil but guess it could have easily gone the other way too depending on which side the neutrals worked with,

What side they were working with, exactly? I didn't see much from them but sort of going with the flow...

As for balance - well, if Istari hadn't autolynched, and if more villagers used their powers (or, really, if you believed EagleWiz) the Team Good might have won.

On the other hand, Team Evil could have won two game days before the game end, almost a week earlier, ir they placed their votes better :smallsigh:


I think the narrator intervened a little too much in the game. From what I can tell hints as to who was who and what was what were apparent in the narration. Particularly if you knew the story

You know... I don't think anyone ever gained anything from them. Well, maybe you, but you had an inside info. Not even Cuhulainn, and that says something.


Also posting something like "vote now or lose your lynch for the day" affected the game by getting people to vote for no reason - just to lynch someone. Which almost always favours team evil.

On the contrary. If there was no lynch, that would be a free night, which, given what the wolves could bring to bear, could decide the game. Or not, given their performance :smallamused:

Which day was it, incidentally?


I don't know, as half the abilities apparently went unused.

More like 90% :smallsigh:


My role was a "secret villager role"

Yup. It was one of the two roles that were meant for a fun game, based directly on the anime, not on any standerd WW roles. You see, by the time I got to you all the one shot roles (baning, killing, etc) were taken already, so I had to be a little creative here.

The other role, wolf/servant terror named Gilgamesh, was a little... Well, I went a bit too overboard here. Unfortunately, the (probably) strongest role in all the WW games of this forum saw so little use it almost never mattered :smallfrown:

Sure, to fuel all this awesome powers a highly suspicious behavior was required, but now, when I check the sheet, I see that some wolves had almost optimal run as far of this role was concerned. I dare not think what Murska or Wolfbane would do with this guy. Probably a singlehandedly won victory would be too easy for them :smallbiggrin:

The major problem I encountered during the role creation was that most of the Servants had powers dedicated to killing, that were hard to translate into the game. Meh. I have an idea how to make this a lot better in the 2.0, if anyone had gotten so far in that final narration :smalltongue:

(which, incidentally, was reason that - for balance - this role went to least experienced player rolled as wolf) :smalltongue:


How much did it give away? I'm not familiar with the story so I didn't notice many clues myself.

Huh, I wonder that myself.


When Trixie used Dark Saber in a narration I found it odd, and I PM'd him to ask if there really was that role, but I guess he lost it so I put it down to the story.

Nope, I didn't lost that, but by this point of game a definitive yes or no answer would mean almost a certain wolf victory. Even maybe/I don't know could give you edge if you were lucky, so I had to ignore that.

Fun fact - Dark Saber was used (from the beginning) in narrations because I somehow was sure that Lex will last till the end. Guess what, I was almost right :smallbiggrin:

(This is also the reason why she had the better ending in the finishing narration, and, frankly, Assassin was so one dimensional that I was unable to think anything for him, so I adapted ending from a certain other movie) :smalltongue:


A question to the wolves: Why the heck did you kill fleeing coward?

Ask Cuchulainn and DarkComet. It was their idea.

You know, I doublechecked that his role would be safe from wolves by making him a bad target for a night kill (loss of devil) - and then wolves went and promptly killed him on the first night :smallsigh:

You know, power loss was fine, but it assumed wolf cooperation, and what we got were wolves happily killing if their own power wasn't threatened :smallsigh:

Incidentally, I equipped Dark Saber & Rider (as a test) with version 2.0 of the power loss, and I think it worked better than what the other servants had. That is, better balanced. Still, I was limited by the bondings from the game, and pretty much unable to give the power loss fully balanced mechanism without damaging a vital part of the fluff.

In retrospect, I wonder why Team Good didn't killed Kuzuki as soon as he claimed. Sure, you'd lose a potential ally, but also a potential enemy, and that loss of devil was too sweet.


Yeah, I had been planning to get him on my side too. Also, were my masons killed on purpose or by sheer accident?

Well, ZP was the only valid kill option during the fail that was night #6, Aemoh was lynched and Murska was mostly a fluke, as he was the only vote that wasn't on a FC night bandwagon the previous day, thus he had a nice bonus to roll.


The "Controller" role managed to affect two night kill targets!?!? Seriously people! It was only one vote!
I was the cause of Deathslayer7's death (sorry dude) - which avoided my own.
The second night I targeted DarkComet, and learned via the narration that he was the berseker.

Yeah... funny story. Night #4, it was two votes on you, one on DS7. By picking DS7 as well you made a majority out of one targeted at you. Anyone other and there would be still a 50% chance of death. Night #5 the wolves were a bit lazy, and I only had 2 votes - including one on another servant, thus invalid. You changed the only valid vote, targeting Haruki-Kun.

That's why I told you you helped both sides - Team Good didn't lost the seer, Team Evil got to keep their powers a bit longer (not that it helped them :smallannoyed: ).

Incidentally, you were the only valid target on night #6, so if you changed that, there was a possibility of two Team Good guys dying :smalltongue:

Aha, and I wonder why, if you told him, for Caster's sake, Cuhulainn still stubbornly tried to nightkill LexKat instead of you.

A single best played/luckiest role in the game amongst the sea of missed and lost powers that was this game :smallsigh:

Three fun facts:

This game never saw more than two wolves in contact at a time (nor two pairs at the same time).
Team Good used 7 out of 14 possible scries (0 out of 3 from the fool), Neutral - 5 out of 7, Evil scried 2 times (due to the loss of Devil and inactivity from Gil - both times JX was the target). Oh, and despite both seers of Team Good being in contact from the 2nd day onwards their network was pitifully small and they wasted scries on each other.
Jontom was the best Devil neutralizer in the game - as soon as first devil (Caster) contacted him, he was killed. As soon as the second one (Gil) found him, Jontom was killed :smalltongue: Given his recent performance in MIX I think any sane team of wolves should keep Jontom as far from the devil as possible :smallbiggrin:

[Murska]

I had time to implement one plan. The effectiveness of which I have no idea. I got Shadowcaller to point first at the devil who claimed to Fleeing Coward, who relayed it to us before his death. We thought Shadowcaller was the fool. So, Shadowcaller being killed would've shown as a Fool/Seer. Thus, the wolves would've assumed that SC scried LordRod. Then they start killing the people on the LordRod bandwagon, NONE of which were masons. :smallbiggrin:

Didn't seem to work that well, but at least we won.

[Darkcomet]

Heh. I would like to thank Murska and Wolfbane for my beast kill of Shadowcaller, by the way. :smallamused:

[Shadowcaller]

Heh. I would like to thank Murska and Wolfbane for my beast kill of Shadowcaller, by the way. :smallamused:

That technically didn't do anything? The seer role was passed on to someone else.

[Darkcomet]

And? I was just impressed that I got his role right.

[UncleWolf]

Heh. I would like to thank Murska and Wolfbane for my beast kill of Shadowcaller, by the way. :smallamused:

To tell the truth, I was the one who spread word of your role, and I was actually trying to get you to kill someone I thought was also evil. Not Shadowcaller.

Yes, I lied and backstabbed you.

[Darkcomet]

Actually, I had assumed Cúchulainn had ratted me out as a sacrifice play already. I'd say it worked out anyway. Don't you?

[Lex-Kat]

Can we get a list of players & their roles?

[Haruki-kun]

1. How did you like the game?
I enjoyed it, but I've got some feedback after the questions.

2. What did you think of the narrations?
They were pretty good, I enjoyed them as well.

3. Did the narrator(s) do a good job?
Well, truthfully, you were too into the game. Also, I would like to point out that if the game had two bad guys left, it should have ended two days ago.

4. Was the game balanced?
I'm afraid I can't say it was (again, feedback).

Feedback:
1) While I personally like the development in the theme, the Fate universe, and I found the hints in the narrations interesting, it is generally agreed that people here can join werewolf games without knowing much about their cosmology. Sure, anyone could have joined this game, but those who knew about the Fate universe had a clear advantage for being able to understand said hints and development.

2) Secret roles are OK. I've used them in games myself. But I really feel they were overdone in this game. It's actually this that makes it so hard for me to consider whether or not the game was balanced. Sure, the bad guys lost many of their abilities early in the game, but they had two secret roles which the villagers hadn't considered. Also, if I counted correctly, there were 6 wolves in a 20 person game. 4 would have been enough. (The ratio is generally 20% or so).

3) Actually, this point isn't really important, but something to consider: When an observer role targets someone at night to check whether said person did or didn't use any night actions, said person should probably not be warned about it, or else the role is pretty much pointless. Sure, it helped ME, but I don't think I was meant to be helped at that point.

4) Actually, the game should have ended 2 days ago with a wolf victory.

6. Would you play again?
Well, I suppose I have no reason to not want to play again, so yeah, I probably would.

[Cúchulainn]

Actually, I had assumed Cúchulainn had ratted me out as a sacrifice play already. I'd say it worked out anyway. Don't you?

I still feel bad about sacrificing you, didn't feel right. I would have taken the bullet myself so you could keep playing if you hadn't been berserker. I screwed things up wonderfully after you died, at least we kinda won so it was worth it. :smallbiggrin:

[Trixie]

3. Did the narrator(s) do a good job?
Well, truthfully, you were too into the game. Also, I would like to point out that if the game had two bad guys left, it should have ended two days ago.

Technically, there was still a possibility that they would waste their victory pointing at each other - which they promptly did. :smallannoyed:

Plus, there was still a matter to see who would be killed first, you or Wolfbane, as that also decided the secondary win, so game had to progress at least to that point.


1) While I personally like the development in the theme, the Fate universe, and I found the hints in the narrations interesting, it is generally agreed that people here can join werewolf games without knowing much about their cosmology. Sure, anyone could have joined this game, but those who knew about the Fate universe had a clear advantage for being able to understand said hints and development.

Hmmm... Yes, that's why I tried to keep hints only to the level of what you could have read in the roles description. The biggest hint of the game (Id of Berserker) depended solely on his role. The second biggest (wolves wasting kills) - ditto. I don't think that there was anything that required specific game knowledge. Sure, it could have been better. Will be fixed in the next one :smallbiggrin:


2) Secret roles are OK. I've used them in games myself. But I really feel they were overdone in this game. It's actually this that makes it so hard for me to consider whether or not the game was balanced. Sure, the bad guys lost many of their abilities early in the game, but they had two secret roles which the villagers hadn't considered.

Ummm... That's why they were used (both of them) extensively in narration, since the opening one :smalltongue: Yes, perhaps two servants with names that were not on a list plus a hint about bonus roles wasn't enough, but Team Good actually knew about them pretty early in the game (by day 2-3). Evnafets pretty quickly noticed that his victory conditions concern someone from the outside of the list of known wolves, then was assured that said wolves are, in fact, in the game. See? Everything as planned :smallbiggrin:

Too bad he and a second guy with such knowledge never bothered to pass it on :smallwink:


Also, if I counted correctly, there were 6 wolves in a 20 person game. 4 would have been enough. (The ratio is generally 20% or so).

22, actually. Yes, but that balanced somewhat by all that villager powers (especially EagleWiz's kill, that he never got to use) plus the fact that one of the servants (Gil) had victory conditions that eventually would led to a clash with other wolves or them letting him kill one or two of them.

I'll think on this, but I think powering up the weaker side was a better idea than cutting roles from a stronger one.


3) Actually, this point isn't really important, but something to consider: When an observer role targets someone at night to check whether said person did or didn't use any night actions, said person should probably not be warned about it, or else the role is pretty much pointless. Sure, it helped ME, but I don't think I was meant to be helped at that point.

But that would just make Caren another seer. But yes, I have an idea how to fix that :smallwink:


4) Actually, the game should have ended 2 days ago with a wolf victory.

You said this already :smalltongue:


6. Would you play again?
Well, I suppose I have no reason to not want to play again, so yeah, I probably would.

Awwww :smallfrown:

[Lex-Kat]

This is the PM sent to me by Cúchulainn.

Let me know if you think I should have let him know I was a fellow villain. :smalltongue:


Coming up on the end now, and I have to admit, I haven't trusted you for most of the game. Mostly because whenever I saw a bandwagon your name popped up, and usually they were unreliable. :smalltongue:

Anyway, last time you voted it was for the seer, and that doesn't sit well with me. To be honest I think EagleWiz is innocent and you're guilty, but it's confusing that no one else see's you as a possibility.

I have a theory though, the first one that popped into my head.

Assassin is scried as a civilian the first time, and his other power was that his vote counted as 2. Like I said, whenever I saw a bandwagon your name popped up, and the fact that no one is looking your way is also suspicious. You could have been scried and contacted by a seer early before you lost your powers, and at the same time you were using the bandwagons to blend yourself in so that the numbers of votes didn't matter.

But I'm a terrible detective. :smalltongue: Anyway, give me a reason to suspect EagleWiz over you. I'll wait for your reply before I talk to him.

[Cúchulainn]

To be honest I did suspect you to be a bad guy, it's just that it was, you know, impossible. Or so I thought. :smalltongue: But let us not discuss my overacting, let us instead poke Trixie until he releases the list of names and roles. Also delete that PM and never speak of it again.

[Lex-Kat]

:smallsmile: Now that I have the post, I've already deleted the PM. :smalltongue:

*Pokes Trixie*

[Trixie]

http://www.image-bunny.com/images/bc1bom6p3mxslia5qr.png

There. Happy now? :smalltongue:

(P) - means power loss during the game.
The roles aren't neatly distributed, because I rolled them using the list in order of joining, this one is alphabetical :smalltongue:
Colors are - neutral, power roles, villagers & wolves.

[Lex-Kat]

Yup. :smallsmile: *Hugs* Thanks. :smallbiggrin:

[Trixie]

Oh, and by the way - I remembered that I promised Evnafets and LexKat to post this picture, to prove that there are indeed three versions of said character in the games :smalltongue:

http://anime-wallpapers.com/images/original/3-sabers-dark-saber-saber-and-saber-lily.jpg

By the way - I just noticed that Dark Saber had Sith-like eye color change. Duh :smalltongue: (That thing in her hand is armored mask, btw.)
Plus, I don't know if it is just me, but the middle version (regular Saber) was... ugh. I have no idea who designed that skirt armor, but it is ugly and... well, unrealistic and sexist :smallsigh:
The other versions thigh armor (tassets) have their own problems, but at least look like real armor [/end of the rant]

[Jontom Xire]

Lord Rod (Caster: Evil Seer) scried Jontom Xire on the first night. He then told me Jontom's role because I 'defended' him - or at least asked for a reason to lynch when the bandwagon started. So Team Evil was the source of the scry that got Jontom lynched.


I've been thinking of playing under a pseudonym. The only games I get to play to anywhere near mid way are where I'm only a villager. Play a bad guy and I get scried and killed really early - even when it's my own bloody team giving me away apparently.

I hate playing on the same team as a certain type of person - such as Lord Rod. Half the time far too trusting and the other half not trusting enough!

So how come NO-ONE got in touch to help me form a team evil network? How come Lord Rod, who knew for a fact I was team evil, not only gave my name and role away to a random person, but didn't get in touch with me at all (as far as I remember - it was a long time ago)? I mean how dumb can you be? :smallfurious:

So I missed out on an excellent game that, by the sound of it, was full of exciting intrigue.

I also have a suggestion. Start scrying Murska instead of me. I've been fairly inactive in most of my games over the last year, while Murska, particularly recently, has been whipping up a storm of intrigue, manipulating entire games single handedly.

Too bad Murska is going to Japan in about a day then eh? I doubt he will be that active during that time...

Hey, I contacted you. I had nothing to lose either because I had already lost my powers, you said you forwarded my PM but never even gave me a name. I wasn't contacted by anyone either. Hrm.

[Jontom Xire]

Oh yeah, that's right I remember now.

Well done. Pity about the rest of them.

LordRod here. The reason I scried you is because I contacted fleeing coward and he told me that you were on team evil and I wanted to confirm that before contacting you.

The reason I just gave your name away was because I was really pissed off on day two when everyone started pointing at me for no reason other than "a little bird told me" which made little sense considering the team good seer couldn't have scried a proxy and me in one night. I was also pissed off with team evil for killing fleeing coward. Evnafets was the only who presented some logic that day so I decided to give him the info. If he was evil he would have contacted you, if he wasn't, I really didn't care at the time cause I was really angry. On retrospect it was a stupid thing to do and I apologize.

[Trixie]

I don't know if he told you, but apparently Fleeing Coward gave away your name to the masons, in trade for another power role, or so I've heard. So no, you weren't scried, or rather you scried yourself :smallwink:

[Lex-Kat]

*SNIP*

I was really pissed off on day two when everyone started pointing at me for no reason other than "a little bird told me"

*SNIP*
Sorry. :frown: Can't help it if little birdies wanted to tell me secrets.

[Cúchulainn]

About the decision to kill Fleeing Coward: I'd say it was a good decision, if only because he probably would have admitedly won it for Team Evil earlier. The thing is it's likely he wouldn't have been lynched until he started using his kill ability on good guys, once it comes up in the narration that he's punched a hole through the face of a villager he's gone. But since he apparently had a list of names for the werewolves we would have been able to form a network and kill everyone who lynched him.

On the downside, when I voted to kill him I did know his role as Caster's master, and since Caster losing powers meant I wasn't far behind my powers were more likely to have me found out than keep me safe anyway. So it was a necessary sacrifice to keep my first game as hard as possible. :smallwink: Not particularly smart but I stand by it.
