If the Villain is lynched the Henchman still can kill, but the bodyguard gets a double protection bonus for that.

makes sense?


Wonderful! This means that my speculations were wrong and it does indeed makes a lot of sense killing the villain. :)

Yes yes, I was talking about how many votes the evil people get, not the tally numbers. But as I said already, all my speculations were a waste of time.

In the current case I'm in for lynching Lommy.

Nogrod 11-01-2007 09:40 AM

Hey Peeko, 5-2 isn't it now before we lynch the henchgirl?

EDIT: Thanks! I looked at the admin thread. So like normal cobbler s/he is... So 5-2 now, 5-1 in 15 minutes.

Gil-Galad 11-01-2007 09:44 AM

"bawk! fifteen minutes make your votes bawk!"

Thinlómien 11-01-2007 09:48 AM

If I wanted to say I was a henchgirl I wouldn't have used the word accuse... I would have said that someone uses a proper term for me or calls me with a right name... :rolleyes:

Would you be eager to retract your vote then and take sides? Or do we have to suspect that a villain would love to keep his retraction-weapon for possible later use but still try to say that he's with us?

This is called pressured disarmament... ;)

Thinlómien 11-01-2007 09:51 AM

I can see a henchman/villain trying to get rid of one more innocent retraction... tsk... tsk...

Nah. A double-lynch would be a sure way for the baddies to show themselves. :rolleyes: Wouldn't it?

Thinlómien 11-01-2007 09:53 AM

Note, it doesn't matter if they win by it.

Thinlómien 11-01-2007 09:57 AM

Doesn't this sound like a silence just before the world's end...?

Thinlómien 11-01-2007 09:58 AM

Oih, two minutes... *drumroll*

Just trying to get all the information that is gatherable before the deadline...

Thinlómien 11-01-2007 10:00 AM

Au revoir, mes amis...
 
"Let the sunshine,
let the sunshine in,
the sun shine in..."


Sniff. Such a sad moment.

Dear Villain, I'm so sorry for everything. We were such pathetic henchpeople.

Congratulations, villagers.

Gil-Galad 11-01-2007 10:19 AM

"bawk! times up!" Peeko Squacked as he flew above. The survivors began to circle around Lommy.

"no!!! this can not be the end!" Lommy yelled out.
"silence comrade! just except it henchman!" Legate yelled back
The crowd of survivors began pushing lommy into the woods and still she struggled to do something to survive. Lommy turned around and her eyes widened as she fell on a spike face first.

The survivors immediately began quiet as Brinniel bent down and ripped the back of Lommy's shirt off, revealing tattoos.

"alas we have a henchman dead... but still one more to go!" Nogrod said as the crowd dispersed back to the beach.

NIGHT THREE BEGINS! HENCHMAN GIVE ME YOUR KILL! SPECIALS GIVE ME YOUR DREAM AND PROTECT/HUNT! ENJOY!

Alive:


4 - Nogrod - tight upper lip conservative
5 - Macalaure - student activist
6 - Brinniel - the hypocritical peace activist who goes to all extremes
7 - Xyzzy - Fully commercialized drone.
8 - Volo - Susie, the daughter of a random goat herder in some far-away valley, who doesn't know a thing about popular culture, is a good idea.
9 - Legate - an open-minded progressive Comrade

Dead:
El Gil - (mod)
Shastanis Althreduin - (Civ)
Meneltarmacil - (civ)
Thinlómien - (Henchgirl)

Gil-Galad 11-02-2007 09:53 AM

The sun creeps up sowly upon the horizion.

"Bawk! rescue appraoches bawk!" Peeko squacked about as the survivors slowly woke up and began heading back to the beach expecting something but they saw nothing.

"Bawk! 1 day peeko gives bawk!" to the disheartened people.

"Alright who are we missing this time" susie said to the group, right then they heard a faint scream

"its coming from the hill!" Legate yelled as he began running towards it through the forest. soon everyone was running when they all got to the hill they saw a burned down house with slinters of wood everywhere and next to it was a huge pike sticking out of the ground with Xyzzy and Macalure in it. Macalaure grumbled a bit and Nogrod and Brinniel ran up and pulled him off of Xyzzy who was already dead.

"bugger tried to kill...me... but was so loud could hear him a mile away..."
"Xyzzy loud? i haven't heard him say a word this whole time" Brinniel said right as Macaluare's eyes rolled up and his head turned.
"so have we got our second henchman?" Legate asked. Nogrod then bent down and rolled xyzzy over. ripped off his shirt revealing mass tattoos all over his back. "i guess so" Nogrod said

"bawk! roll him over! bawk!" peeko said while sitting on a log nearby

Nogrod looked at the parrot then at the group, then he slowly rolled Xyzzy over and it revealed more tattoos in the front.

"bawk! villain dead! bawk! villain dead! henchman mad! bawk!" Peeko squacked jumping up and down and then flew away.

DAY THREE BEGINS! SPECIALS STOP TALKING! PLAYERS MAY NOW POST! ENJOY!

Volo 11-02-2007 10:04 AM

Ok, that's it. I'm innocent. Scientist and Bodyguard, reveal yourselves. We win.

Volo 11-02-2007 10:09 AM

Hmm... I'll vote already now just for the fun of it. If I'm very wrong than tell me and I'll change my vote, probably to Legate.

++Brinniel

Legate of Amon Lanc 11-02-2007 10:10 AM

Whoa! That's an unexpected turn of events, comrades. At least we know that "Comrade" xyzzy was up to no good. But there is one henchman among us still, and unless I am mistaken, we have to get rid of him toDay or then we are all gone and no hopes for the proletariat. Fortunately, I have good news for you Comrades who dwell in the shadows of the imperialist oppression. I am the Super Science Doctor and I managed to reveal our last henchman this night. It's really nice how pretty company of innocent-looking girls was in fact only a bunch of reactionary murderers. But we, Soviet Sciencists, are able to outrun everyone. What do you say, Susie? Or should I call you Mr. Volo?

EDIT: x-ed with Volo. Ha-ha. I hoped to make it more interesting.

Legate of Amon Lanc 11-02-2007 10:12 AM

Oh, and Mr. Nogrod is my bodyguard, if anything.

Nogrod 11-02-2007 10:14 AM

Uh-oh what a mess...

But I can back up what Legate says as I have been his faithful bodyguard these unhappy Days and Nights.

EDIT: X'd with Legate

Legate of Amon Lanc 11-02-2007 10:15 AM

So

++Volo

Nogrod 11-02-2007 10:17 AM

You said it comrade.

++ Volo

Nogrod 11-02-2007 10:23 AM

And three hurrahs for the three villagers!

You were a bit too easy pick after the events of the end of yesterDay Volo...

Sad that there wasn't more challenge. :D

Volo 11-02-2007 10:30 AM

Drat. :( I just don't know how I managed to mess things up. Sorry Lommy, sorry Xyzzy, I tried my best.



You politicians win!

Legate of Amon Lanc 11-02-2007 10:31 AM

Oh, and one note - do you see the paranoid conspiracy-theorist was right somehow? The union of KGB and CIA was something far more brutal than what he could have thought of... :cool: ;)

Maybe Gil himself is a paranoid world-conspiracy theorist - otherwise he wouldn't have picked the roles like that :)

Like the good ol' times of the cold war going against the international lunatic criminals! And such fun!

It was a pleasure comrade.

Legate of Amon Lanc 11-02-2007 11:36 AM

Indeed a pleasure. Thank you all, folks. Sorry, Volo...

I don't have the strength to say that. :D When is Comrade Brinniel coming? We cannot end without her.

Brinniel 11-02-2007 04:41 PM

Oh boy...well that all went over really quick. I had class when the Day began, plus other stuff, so I wasn't able to get her until now..

So, my vote:

++Volo

Is there anything more to say? I guess we just need to wait for the final narration...

Nogrod 11-02-2007 04:49 PM

Good to see you Brinn!

We might gloat a bit but maybe we just wait for Gil to end this first... :)

Good job people!

And so sad you had to die Mac. We were counting on you to help us this Day but happily Volo confessed on his own... :cool:

Although I'm a bit disappointed it ended this soon... Well, maybe Lommy's game (the next one) will go on a few more Days. I was just getting into this! :D

Volo 11-02-2007 05:01 PM

So what are the dreams?

Volo 11-02-2007 05:12 PM

2nd Night Lommy
3rd Night Mac
?

As much as I hate to say it and break the fun, but actually beginning to think that you're not going to retract your votes. Am I fooled or am I double-fooled?

Volo 11-02-2007 06:42 PM

I decided to get these things straights now, that I don't have to die of shock tomorrow.

1. I am innocent.

2. I truly thought that Legate's post was a joke and not a bluff.
Because:
A) I know that I'm innocent and if he would have dreamed of me, he would have known it too, so he could have played a joke of voting me.
B) Legate was with me in Rikae's game where I pulled a Seer-bluff that looks somewhat similar to Legate's bluff here, if it's a bluff and not a joke. I would have never fallen for a bluff like that (I'm reminded of it every time I see my signiture for Clock's sake :rolleyes: ), or for the matter admitted being a Wolf, if I was one.
C) Legate's edit. I understood that as him admitting that he tried to confuse me into doubting his Seerdom, or something. Because my post with which he Xd no way hint that I would be a Wolf. So what did I spoil then with the post if not the joke?

3. Read my preveous posts and think if even the boldest Wolf you have seen would ever have posted such posts (I'm talking about the confusions about the double-lynch rules and protecting Lommy.) Think.

4. Read Brinniel's posts about Lommy and me mentioning it.

5. Read me mentioning in one of my last posts yesterDay how I think that Nogrod is innocent.

6. Read my second post toDay. I vote Brinniel because Legate and Nogrod have a trust-relationship and so more likely the two Gifteds. I don't have anything to lose, because if both Nogrod and Brinniel would have said that they are the Gifteds and not Legate, I would have retracted to him. I even mention that because I suspected him much more than Nogrod, whom I thought to be the Seer.

7. Think.


I'll love and admire you, Legate, forever, if it was a joke from the very beginning. :D

Volo 11-02-2007 06:47 PM

8. One of you two wins even if I am lynched toDay. Brinniel simply can't win anymore. Nogrod'll just hunt her down and one lone Gifted will survive the game. So actually it's all the same whether you retract your votes or no. :) (That is on the level of greater good.)

Do we need more? :cool:

PS. Nice try though... :p

Legate of Amon Lanc 11-02-2007 07:07 PM

Well, you see, after I spent several minutes ROFL when I saw Volo's reaction, I don't want to retract at all...:):p

Actually this doesn't work... I mixed the Hunter with the Assassin. So, you better retract. I'm not going to try and convince you, but you overestimate me by a lot, my friends. I'd consider myself the greatest lier ever if all that I said there was a bluff, so I too will regret that Double-G will write "Volo - (Innocent)" instead of "Volo (Henchman)".
