After a long hiatus, it's time for the return of the only werewolf style game that has ever ended in a draw (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4080162#post4080162)!

You've heard the tales, now it's time to test your mettle! Have you got what it takes to rule the realm? Will you stand by your liege against all enemies? Or will you join the rebellion and attempt a coup?

THE RULES

THE CLASSES AND THE ROLES

There are two classes: Nobility and Peasantry. There are also two alignments: Loyalists and Rebels.

NOBILITY

Emperor – The Emperor cannot be slain at night while Loyalist Imperial Guardsmen or the Captain of the Guard still live. The Emperor’s vote counts thrice. The Emperor cannot be converted.
Heir – The Heir becomes the Emperor upon the Emperor’s demise. The Heir’s vote counts twice. If the Heir succeeds the Emperor, there will be one full day between the previous Emperor's death and the coronation of the new Emperor. (If the Emperor is lynched on Day 1, Night 1 and Day 2 will pass, and the coronation will happen at the end of Day 2. If he is killed by Rebels on Night 1, Day 2 and Night 2 will pass and the coronation will happen at the beginning of Day 3.)
Royal Investigator – The Royal Investigator has many tools and much training at his disposal and is able to determine a player's allegiance with a night action.
Captain of the Guard – The Captain of the Guard sends Imperial Guardsmen to protect one citizen each night from assassination. He is difficult to corrupt.
Imperial Guardsmen – The Imperial Guardsmen fight side by side and know each other well. They are difficult to corrupt.
The Court Couple – The subject of much discussion and speculation amongst the upper crust, a pair of Nobles have fallen in love but must keep it a secret. Should one of them die the other dies as well. In addition, if the court couple both point at the same person, their combined vote will count as three instead of two.
Court Noble

PEASANTRY

The Sheriff (Day Baner) - The Sheriff is a loyal appointee of the Empire and is duty bound to protect it. He is capable of keeping lynch mobs in check and as such can protect a person from being lynched. He is also trusted by the Court and can keep them from executing a person he believes is loyal to the crown. Vote counts twice. This person is difficult to corrupt.
The Gossip – The Gossip has tendrils in several circles and can learn a player's class with a night action.
The Drunkard – The Drunkard thinks he or she is the Gossip, but people have a grand time giving this person faulty information to see how long it takes to figure it out. When scrying, the Drunkard will be given a random class.
Lovers – The fates of the lovers are intertwined. If one should die, so will the other. In addition, if the lovers both point at the same person, their combined vote will count as three instead of two.
Peasant

REBELS

Rebel Leader – The Rebel Leader picks the Rebel Soldiers and the Rebel Spy. The Rebel Leader appears as a Loyalist Peasant when spied upon.
Rebel Spy – The Rebel Spy, trained in the same investigative techniques as the Royal Investigator, but somewhat less restricted in information gathering tools, can determine a player's class and role with a night action.
Rebel Soldier

THE ACTIONS

DAY

The Peasantry, both Loyalist and Rebel, incite a lynch mob each day, choosing to kill one person.
The Nobles, both Loyalist and Rebel, meet in court each day, choosing to execute one person.
All votes are made communally. They are tallied separately.
The Sheriff may opt to protect someone from either lynching or execution (one or the other, not both). This decision is sent to the narrators via PM before the end of the day is posted.

NIGHT

The Rebel Leader can send his Rebel Soldiers to assassinate one person or to convert one person to the Rebel Forces.
The Rebel Spy can follow one person to determine that player’s class and role.
The Royal Investigator and the Gossip may each follow one person to determine that player’s alignment and class, but not the player’s role.
The Drunkard can follow one person but, due to his or her drink-addled mind, decides upon a random alignment and class.
The Captain of the Guard protects one person from assassination each night.

ACHIEVING VICTORY

BY CLASS AND ALIGNMENT

The Loyalist Nobility wins by eliminating all of the Rebels.
The Loyalist Peasantry wins by surviving the rebellion until it ends.
The Rebels win by eliminating all Loyalist Nobles and the Sheriff or by placing a Rebel Heir on the throne.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS

The Heir wins if his alignment wins and he has succeeded the Emperor.
The Imperial Guardsmen win if their alignment wins and an Emperor or the Rebel Leader is still alive.
The Court Nobles win if their alignment wins and an Emperor is no longer alive.
The Sheriff wins if he survives and either The Emperor or a Loyal Heir is on the throne.

OTHER NOTES

CONVERSION
To convert someone, the Rebel Leader must send me the name a person they choose to convert and a decision of whether or not to attack on a refused invitation. I will then send the person who is to be converted an invitation. Should the person refuse and the Rebels have chosen to attack, there is a 20% chance of the person being slain, a 10% chance of a random rebel being slain, and a 10% chance of a random Rebel being unmasked in the ensuing battle. If the person is playing a role with the “difficult to corrupt” description, there is a 20% chance of the attempt automatically failing. Conversion has a two night cooldown. (If attempted, it cannot be attempted until the third night following the last attempt.)

AUTOLYNCHING
Failure to vote three times will result in an automatic death. Note that this is not three days in a row, but three days total.

If there are any questions, please feel free to ask now, before the game starts. :smallcool:

'The Obi-wan' is actually a legitimate trope. Considering the character of Obi-wan Kenobi is widely recognized, to refer to 'The Obi-wan' is to make reference to the role that he played in the hero's tale, in this case being the doomed mentor who starts the hero on his path, but is ultimatly killed before the story's completion. A recognizable use of this trope within OotS would be Julio Scoundrel.

In a 16th century setting? Leonardo Da Vinci, perhaps.

Not all of those things happened in the same game, though. Specifically, the narrator switch-out where I took over was Rebellion II. That was... well... that was some interesting times, let me tell you.

I should mention, I'll also be looking for someone to be a co-narrator on this with me. Largely because Alarra and I tend to be gone at the same times, so it doesn't make as much sense for her to back me up as we once thought it did. If you're interested, PM me.

I have to ask why you want to play a character with "Is killed" as a fundamental trait.

Are you refering to the part where Obi-Wan started out alive?

(You know who pulled that off really well; Hamlet's dad. You should try playing "the Hamlet's Dad".)

Eldritch Knight
2010-07-28, 11:03 PM
I was more making reference to the trope than the actual copyrighted character. Just fishing for ideas at this point. I'm leaning towards 'Badass Clergyman' at this point.

Okay, folks! Recruitment is locked with a whopping 44 players, making this the largest Rebellion to date.

I'll be getting role PM's sent out shortly and I'll post here when I'm done.

EDIT: Role PM's have been sent out. They should closely resemble this boilerplate message...


Good morning!

You have the glorious distinction of being <<role>> in our grand Kingdom. I know, it doesn't seem like much, but the sway you have will become apparent as the game progresses. Don't forget that this is a game with recruitment, so your role might not always be so free of drama as it was when you woke up this morning.

Be mindful, also, that the rules for autolynch in this game are somewhat different than the norm. I do not use the "consecutive days" method. I prefer the "total days" method. This means that if you miss 3 day phase votes over the course of the game, you will be subject to autolynch. (Away notices are of course accepted, especially in a game as large as this one.)

As always, if you have questions, feel free to PM either me or the conarrator (who is at this time unconfirmed, but will be announced before the game actually starts).

Some of you have full PM boxes and did not get the message! Please clear them out and PM me so that I can send you your role! (Also, if you just didn't get one, PM me. Please do not ask for your role PM in thread.)

Woke Up This Morning[/I] by Alabama 3]
You woke up this morning
Got yourself a sword,
Mama always said you'd be
A Nobel Lord.

She said: You're one in a million
It's your time to shine,
But you were born into a kingdom,
Where nobility still resides.

You woke up this morning
All the wolves were gone,
Zeb Troll never knew you'd
Be here to sing this song.

But you're looking good, baby,
I believe you're feeling fine, (shame about it),
Born into a kingdom,
Where nobility still resides.

You woke up this morning
The banners turned upside down,
Thing's ain't been the same
Since Rebels came into town.

But you're one in a million
You've got that peasant shine.
Born into a kingdom,
Where nobility still resides.

When you woke up this morning everything you had was
gone. By half sun up church bells were going ding-dong.
Ringing resound out from your head down to your toes,
like a voice telling you there was something you should
know. Last night you were flying but today you're so low
- ain't it times like these that make you wonder if
you'll ever know the alliance of royalty as they appear to
the others; Heir, Captain, Emperor, Loyal Gaurds and
Court couples. Don't you wish you didn't function, wish you
didn't think spent your next paycheck at the tavern for a
drink' Well you do so make up your mind to go on, 'cos
when you woke up this morning everything you had was gone.

When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning, (oh yeah, oh yeah)
When you woke up this morning,
Mama said you'd be Noble Lord.

When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning, (oh yeah, oh yeah)
When you woke up this morning,
You got yourself a sword....

It has been a long and prosperous reign for PenguinSushi (now an Emperor Penguin, of course). But the time for peace and prosperity has passed. The Emperor has been long removed from the politics of the land and the people grow restless. They view his absence from the from the spotlight as a distance from the people. They feel he is no longer in touch with his subjects and cannot, therefore, truly rule well and with their best interests at heart.

Rumors are being woven in the dark corners of local taverns and in hushed tones in the streets. The time has come for an upheaval, a return to the way things once were. But who would be best suited to lead this land if not for the beneficent ruler they've enjoyed for so long? Would it be his heir? Would it be the instigator of the Rebellion? Or would the rebellion serve as a wake up call to the sitting sovereign?

As the opposite side of the coin, the Emperor's yin to the Rebellion's yang of shrouded secrecy and subterfuge, is the nearly ubiquitous propaganda for the current regime. Posters and cryers everywhere reminding anyone who will pay attention that the current regime has been good for the land as a whole, Noble and Commoner alike. Taxes have been at record lows. War has been a thing of memory, retained by only the eldest of veterans who pass the time regaling the young with their tales of long forgotten glory.

Knowing his rule is now less certain than it has been, the Emperor has receded further from view. There is much speculation as to his reasonings, but in truth, no one really knows why. Some say it is because he fears for his life. Some say he fears losing his power. Others, more loyal, swear that he is only in disguise, wandering amongst his people in order to regain that common bond that led him to the throne so long ago.

One thing is for certain, the land is now in upheaval and the political landscape is in turmoil. No one knows who to trust or who is just.

-----------------------------------

No one knows where or when or how, but the feeling is palpable now. The rebellion is going to leap from the taverns to the shadows. It's going to stop being talk and start being action. The war is going to come, and it's going to be ugly. Everywhere, people are choosing sides. Some out of a sense of idealism, some out of loyalty, and some simply hedging their bets in order to save their own hides.

-----------------------------------

On a foggy evening, a man walks along the streets of the Government Quarter in the capital, Johnson City. His eyes dart left and right, very aware that his life is in jeopardy simply by walking these streets and being known as one who is loyal to his liege. His paranoia is quickly proven to be justified as he hears a number of footfalls approaching him rapidly from behind. He turns to look, only to see a handful of people fade out of view. It's enough. They're after him. He takes off running and hears the footfalls behind him again. He doesn't stop to look this time. He has to get away. Frantically, he looks around for something, anything, that will give him an edge in this footrace. Gods! Why did today have to be the day that the beautification crews have removed all of the detritus? Ahead, he spies a group of guards. He picks up the pace, knowing that if he can just make it to them, his pursuers will give up the chase for fear of being discovered and executed for treason. In his panic, though, he forgets to look around and watch where he's going. He passes the corner of a building and finds himself tripped by a foot that wasn't there a moment ago. He goes sprawling to the ground and before he can even gasp for breath, let alone call for help, he feels a sharp blow to the back of the head setting his skull and his spine on fire before his vision tunnels and he loses conciousness.

The next morning, the body of the man is discovered near a fountain at the center of town. In his hand is a piece of parchment, rolled up like a scroll. There are no words, only a picture...

Early in the morning the Emperor summons his nobles to court to discuss the most recent developments.

Gentlemen, Ladies, we have a problem. I need to get to the bottom of it. And the sooner the better. I need to hear your ideas about who might be involved in this uprising. I need to know who beat my most trusted advisor to death with what my investigators tell me is was most likely a weighted doll. Who would do such a thing? What kind of crazy uses children’s toys to assassinate ranking members of society?

Well?

WHO??

The Emperor turns his wrath on all assembled, dispensing unpleasantries and accusations at any who returned his gaze. Soon enough, everyone decided that it was better to accuse someone than no one. They all started pointing and naming names. Some randomly, some with explanations. One explanation seemed to be more plausible than the others.

Maybe it was that teddy bear that’s been running around town? Maybe it was a calling card?

Yeah! That must be it!

Don’t be ridiculous! That’d be too easy! Someone must be setting him up!

Eventually, a consensus was reached and a victim was chosen. It was the tiny lost teddy bear that had drawn the most attention. The guards went out into the city to arrest him and bring him to court to face charges of treason. When they found him, he was busy trying to defend himself from the accusations of the common folk.

No, it wasn’t me! It was him, billtodamax, I’m telling you! He set me up!

The crowd seemed torn on who is most likely to have been the killer.

Mr. Bear, please come with us. You’re presence is requested in the palace.

SEE! The palace believes me! Yes, thank you, officers. I will come with you immediately.

With that, the crowd has little choice remaining. The guards seemed sincere enough, and they didn’t deny the little bear’s claims.

GET HIM!

Quickly the crowd surrounds billtodamax and drag him to the gallows to die for his crimes. They string the noose around his neck and pull the lever before he even has a chance to explain his side of the story, if there was one.

A few minutes later, lostlittlebear is brought before the Court of Nobles and informed of the charges against him.

Ah, fair court. :smallannoyed:

His neck is placed in a guillotine and his head is severed from his should with an uncanny quickness.

Both bodies are thoroughly searched for signs of affiliation with the Rebels. None are found.

Summary:
Lostlittlebear was executed by the Nobles.
Billtodamax was lynched by the Peasants.
Both were Peasants and Loyal to the crown.
Night 1 begins now and will end in approximately 24 hours. Please send all night actions to Zeb The Troll and The Fiery Tower.

The chase is on. A man walking home from work in the wee hours of the night finds himself surrounded by what are most certainly ne'er-do-wells.

What do you want? I'm a smith, you know. I won't go down easily!

Ahh, but what kind of smith? A wordsmith? A blacksmith? It's no matter. We don't need to fight you.

At that moment he hears a quick ssss-thunk and then feels a sharp pinch at the base of his neck. He reaches his hand up to find and remove a dart before he loses control of his body and falls to the ground, staring.

That poison was strong enough to take down a bull moose. I'm sure it's enough to handle you. Good night, message.

...blink...
...blink...

...blink...




...blink...


As his eyes close, he can only wonder what it was that brought their attention to him instead of one of the upper crust, those in charge of things right now. He hasn't long to wonder before the blackness closes in and he is gone.

In the morning the citizens of the city will find his body on the threshold of his home, lying on his back with his right hand permanently making a fist, the sign of the Rebellion.

SummarySiriq was assassinated by the Rebels. He was a Peasant and was Loyal to the crown.

Day 2 begins now and will end in approximately 48 hours.

Strategos looked misearble as he walked down the street. He'd never really liked the city, he always preferred the wide open spaces of the countryside to the cramped and hustling cityscape. And now there was a revolt going on. All he wanted to do was come into town to sell some of his produce so he'd have a little bit of coin for emergencies. He'd arrived late yesterday afternoon just in time to witness the executions. He didn't know what had happened at the lynch mobs first hand, but by asking a few questions he had a good idea of what went on.

That's why he paused when he heard Robert Blackletter's accusation. It didn't fit in with the timeline of events at all.

((Does RP get you killed in this game? I hope not.))

Cherise looks longingly up at the noble houses and sighs, as she does every day. Her father had been a noble, so the story went, who fell in love...well, lust...with a serving girl. Her mother. She came to him and told him she was with child, and she was banished from the home - an embarrassment, a scandal. It was to this auspicious beginning that Cherise was born. She wasn't particularly pretty, very plain, actually. She wore her shoulder-length honey-colored hair twisted into a simple bun. It was decorated with the flowers she sold, whatever wild flowers she could find and gather. Today the flower was a vibrant purple daisy, a rarity. She had found a bunch growing behind the inn's stables - it was a small miracle the horses hadn't devoured them yet. Her eyes were odd - a feature well-known to the family of her father. She had one brown eye and one grey above a band of freckles. It had caused whispers more than once - whispers she had chosen to ignore. She wasn't a proud bastard, and had discovered the feigning ignorance suited her just fine.

A gentleman was approaching. Holding out her basket, eyes full of hope, she smiled. Good morning, sir. Care to purchase some flowers? They are fresh and quite lovely and will last... Her sales pitch was cut off as the man roughly nudged her aside, knocking several flowers from her basket as she stumbled. Pausing to smirk, he ground the fallen blooms beneath his heel and snorted before leaving. Forcing her chin not to tremble, Cherise held her head high and watched his retreating back. She thought he was the one called Mustiado, but she wasn't sure.

He comes into the town square to hear Robert Blackletter ranting "And he was one of the nobles that had the lost little bear executed, we should lynch him, or that dead guy, or maybe him over there".
That sounds like rebel talk to me he thinks to himself and contents himself to watch the crowd, "I wonder how this will turn out"

In a couple of hours or so, I will be heading off to a multiple days long party/gathering. I don't know how much (if at all) I will be able to get on the internet. So if I could be considered away and exempt from autolynching until Sunday, that'd be great.

Also, lynching De for RPing is just mean. Especially since she just recently also died in Titans. Meanies.

Also, a note that voting for De for RP is mean and unnecessary. RP is fun.

The fluffy sheep looks around, confused.

"Baa?!"

It jumps onto a wagon. Robert Blackletter's bandwagon.

I'm roleplaying as a sheep! I mean, er...

Moo! Waitnothatsnothowsheepsgo clu? Baa! That's it!

Actually, it's much more of a tradition top RP in Rebellion than in other games, similar to how Mafia works, but with a different focus. Read the other threads if you'd like to see.

My earlier comment about "bringing back the inept undead undead hunter" was in reference to this, but alas, I still can't get motivated.

How many WW games do you see me RP in? Not many.
Mafia (when I play), Rebellion (when I'm motivated), and the occasional 1-shot game where the playerbase is doing enough RP'ing to get me into it myself.

The Emperor addresses his court...

This is un-acceptable! You all have given me nothing but innocents! How am I supposed to maintain goodwill with the people with the dying of INNOCENTS! Do better, or so help me I'll have you all hanged for not being able to ferret out these weasels! Heh, that was kinda funny...

The nobles in court begin anew with their attempts to figure out who could be behind the uprising, suggesting names wildly as before. In contrast to yesterday, however, the masses settle on far fewer names to debate about.

Meanwhile, in town, away from the machinations of politics, the Sherriff knows he needs to calm emotions and stop the assassinations both in order to maintain any semblance of order.

The townspeople are afraid for their lives, however, and start accusing wildly, naming neighbors, lovers, and relatives for the slightest suspicion.

Quickly one man is pushed to the forefront and the crowd demands his neck in a noose, adamant that he is one of those hooligans stirring up trouble at night.

I swear on my mother's grave, Sherriff, I ain't done nothing wrong!

Son, for my sake you'd better be right. Listen here, folks! There ain't gonna be a lynching today, alright? Let's get a little bit more information before we go stringin' up everyone who happens to wear fishnet stalkings to a late night movie, huh?

:eek:

Get out of here before I can't stop them.

With that, Robert Blackletter turns and runs, yelling over his shoulder to the crowd

I don't wear fishnets, I swear!

Back at court, a decision has been made.

Very well, this one that talks so much, she must be involved. Have her brought before me and we'll have her tried for treason.

Some time later, a young flower vendor is brought before the court.

Young lady, you stand here accused of being in league with those who would usurp my benevolent rule. What do you have to say for yourself?

My lord, sir, beggin' your pardon. I'm not really a bad person. I'm just drawn this way. I swear to you that I wish you no harm. Long live your grace.

With that she genuflects and begins to tremble with the fear that her plight will have been unpersuasive. Unfortunately for her, it was.

Guards. Take her head. She's clearly just a very good actor, and I don't trust actors.

The deed is done with a swiftness and the court disassembles and goes about their business, slightly shocked at the efficiency of the guards and their guillotine.

Investigation of the body turns up a copper coin with the emblem of a clenched fist and a brass tube with glass at the ends, a spyglass.

Summary:Robert Blackletter was to be lynched, but was protected by the Sherriff.
DivaDe was executed by the Nobles. She was the Rebel Spy.

Night 2 begins and will end in approximately 24 hours. Send all night actions to Zeb The Troll and The Fiery Tower.

With the breaking dawn, the townsfolk gather in their respective conclaves in order to take stock of what's happened over the night.

All tread lightly and take sweeping searches on their way to wherever they're headed, hoping not to see the grim results of the previous night's activities.

In passing, each converses with passers by to see if there's any news. None is noted, except notably, the absence of any such news.

All seems right with the world this morning.

It seems that yesterday's luck is holding out!

But for how long?

Well what do you expect me to reason? I don't have nearly enough time to follow all, most or, in fact, any of my games closely enough to keep voting records. I did go back to check the records of yesterday, but the binary voting system confused me too much to pick much. So, I chose Istari for pointing randomly on what I think might've been the start of a wagon, in the middle of the points at the enemy devil.

That, and I missed pointing yesterday and Zeb reminded me that this game doesn't count days in a row, but overall.

I resent that. I defended her not knowing she was a rebel. If I had known I would have condemned her myself. I did it because she was trying to make things more interesting which would probably would have made things more fun. In fact I fully endorse the RPing but not the rebels.

If you had honestly defended her not knowing she was a rebel, then why are you on the offensive today with the accusation against Vampirerot? Which game are you playing - offense or defense?

You gave no clear reason as to why you made your point today, I find it very curious.

Though I also find it noteworthy that Piratemonk is being pointed at today by someone who had pointed at the rebel yesterday. I'll follow the lead of those who got us a rebel. :smallsmile:

Ok, now I'm scared to break the deadlock,

But I'd like to know, Mustiado, you correctly pointed at a rebel yesterday, but my notes say it was a counter because Diva pointed at you. Today you give no reason whatsoever, not even Murska's rubbish not Autolynch reason. I'm tempted to agree with you just for prior form, but lack of a reason makes me nervous, very nervous.
Do you know something that the rest of us should know? Would you like to enlighten us?

I'm also suspicious of Ape's very quick point, I'm trying to work out if you are saying there is a reason, or just you like the pun wolf in sheeps clothing :)

I think PirateMonk's reasoning sounds best so far, it tallies up with my notes, so I'm going to point at apeoflight unless I'm convinced otherwise.

It's very early in this game. I find it very unlikely that Mustiado's point at De was based off any knowledge of her rebelness and likely was merely a counter point that people latched onto. The likelihood of his having pinpointed another rebel is slim at best, unless he is a rebel himself, in which case, it would be very dumb to be outing his teammates at this early stage of the game.

Goof would know all of this and is far more analytical than I, so the fact that he would use the reasoning that he is to try to form a bandwagon is very suspicious to me. Especially given that most of his post gave reasoning to point at someone other than who he actually pointed at.

There's no particular reasoning to be following me at Piratemonk, aside from the fact that I always get suspicious whenever people use the "You supported a rebel, you must be a wolfzors!" logic so early in the day, and game. Having the same votes as a rebel does not necessarily make another person guilty, and Piratemonk has been playing long enough to know that. Especially when the whole reason some of us voted for Diva yesterday was as a joke.

I'd like to remind everyone that most wolves in my opinion won't start trying to lead bandwagons or such so early. At least, unless there's something substantial to gain, such as having scried a baner, and still it's risky. Taking the front and being the leader is a very dangerous position for a wolf, and you can't balance on it for very long without substantial proof of your non-evilness. That's why it's usually a gambit in the late-game, or should opportunity arise with something like a baned attack on a wolf.

Supagoof
2010-08-20, 03:58 PM
You save Robert Blackletter and the whole village comes running to get you. :smallconfused:

Not that I know he's safe either. *shrug*

As for following Mustiado's point, hey - he got us a rebel yesterday. And he did so with only the help of two others (go look them up yourself :smalltongue:), which ended up with the Loyal lynching of Diva De. So despite any other reasoning, it's safe to side with the "loyalists" - despite my questioning the weird early points of Apeoflight.

Now - a tricky person will put words in someone else's mouth. Beware the venom that Alarra has slipped into your ears by attributing certain thoughts to me.

Goof would know all of this and is far more analytical than I, so the fact that he would use the reasoning that he is to try to form a bandwagon is very suspicious to me. Especially given that most of his post gave reasoning to point at someone other than who he actually pointed at.[/QUOTE]

I am very analytical. Yes.

Does 2 people form a bandwagon - nope. But Alarra's logic would have you thinking that I had a flock of sheep in which to make a bandwagon with.

Am I certain of Piratemonk - no.

Yes - I posted logic for Apeofight, then chose to follow the point of Mustiado, using the knowledge gained from day 2. Let me break it out for you.

Not knowing who Mustiado is - I'll still trust in the fact that
3 people got a rebel lynched. Likely 1 of them has extra voting power.
Knowing that, it would be safe to assume that following 1 of those people will result a ~33% chance that I won't lynch a loyalists.
Mustiado was the first of the 3 to point today, so I followed him.

And that's all I have for Piratemonk.

Now I do wonder - why EK and Alarra who were at each other day 2 so easily agree with each other today? Knowing that no-one was killed in the night means someone was likely recruited. Maybe one of them?

Ah...the possibilities. But you won't be able to lynch Shadow today - that I can verify. :smalltongue: Why - because it's day three, and someone already brought it up. Shadow I got your back today.

And I am offended Alarra that you can't use my full name to point at me. Do you think me not so "Supa" today?

But does he need to specify which thing he is protecting from. I'm not convinced I'd know which he's more likely to die from, the noose or the blade.

I'm also curious, why did Supagoof choose to protect Robert, but not either of littlelostbear or bill? Is there a werewolf history I'm missing (so far in my reading I've worked out that Murska and Shadow are always considered dangerous and lynched early when they are villagers, and not when they aren't. :)
