Stars Aligned III - The Tenth Day

[Trilobite]

I am sorry town that this had to happen. I wish I had some power to stop it.

Replacing antics arranged with the mod would have saved us from 2 potential town modkills if you're speaking the truth.

Oh hell.

[Furpants_Tom]

Why did you post that before hearing from the mod? If that information is enough to get you both modkilled, it's enough to skew the game. Fan-freaking-tastic.

Mod scene may or may not be forthcoming.

[Percy]

The two figures stood on a decaying balcony, looking down at the others gathered in the ruined courtyard. They looked like two friends sharing a private conversation.

"They're coming," said one reverently.

"Are they ours?" asked the other, barely containing his glee. "Oh, to be in the presence of our masters..."

"I don't know. You're the only one whose face I know. Here it comes," and he giggled.

In the courtyard, two men fell to their knees and screamed, a high pitched wail that reverberated around the twisted alleyways. Those close by looked shocked, some rushing to give aid, others skulking away in fear. It was too late. Their flesh withered, their eyes turned ghostly white, and still they screamed. Those on the balcony smiled small smiles.

The screams died down, and the men looked as though starved to death. Somehow they still breathed, but no amount of talking or prodding produced the smallest response.

People fled in terror, or to go about their nightly business. The men on the balcony grabbed their masks and cowls and made their way to the meeting place, still elated at what had transpired. It was time for The Ritual. They shivered in anticipation.

I have made an important change to how modkills work. Please read the relevant section in the rules post.

Fate

and

ReaperCharlie

have been rendered

Soulless

- the latter for talking about this game outside the thread illegally, and the former for attempting to gain tactical advantage from a modkill.

It is now

Night 1

.

Due to my current circumstances, I will not be able to post Night PMs until Saturday. Night actions will be due to me 48 hours after I send them. Feel free to send your Night Action in if you already know what action you wish to choose.

Nicodemus replaces Bowser.

[Percy]

Vi, my wonderful backup mod, has kindly offered to look after Night 1. Please send your night actions to Vi for tonight. If you already sent them to me, I will forward them on.

[Percy]

Deadline approaches fast. Get your

Night Action

in to Vi soon, otherwise you will

Cower

.

I am going to leave this thread unlocked so Vi can start The Second Day. Do not post until Vi has declared the day open!

[Vi]

I don't think any flavor from me would be all that believable given my rather non-eldritch-horror-y avatar, so I won't try.

I WILL, however, give you a template for the Night Action Result PMs so nobody tries to be a weasel.

This may be slightly different from Percy's norm. I'm just getting the information out there.

-It is now The Second Day!

--Fate is Soulless.
--ReaperCharlie is Soulless.

--With 25 alive, it takes 13 to secure a lynch OR dispatch one of the Soulless.
--There is no deadline as of yet.

---Please kill each other more. That took all morning.

[VasudeVa]

Noise here. No ward.

Wait fuck. We can either Dispatch OR Lynch?

This fucking sucks. I hate you Fate/RC.

[Trilobite]

Noise, no ward.

[VP Baltar]

No noise, no ward.

I'm actually caught up and have somethings I want to speak about. Seeing LB's insanity count makes me think I was right about them.

My top suspects right now are MoI, Baby Spice and Wraith, though there are several others floating about I don't care for too much.

Before I get too involved, Plum, I want your opinion of Wraith right now. Scummy or town VI?

I need to think a bit about lynching or dispatching today and if we dispatch, who we should dispatch. More very soon (ie please don't page explosion while I have to work today).

[Vi]

Wait fuck. We can either Dispatch OR Lynch?

This fucking sucks. I hate you Fate/RC.

That was kind of misleading, and the rules are pretty vague on the subject. SO:

*Lynching is separate from Dispatching
*Dispatched players immediately become Dead with no change in phase
*I am not Percy (IANP) but if I'm wrong on this you'll find out in about 12 hours.

[Vi]

Also, happy scumday, VP Baltar

[VP Baltar]

How many times can we dispatch a day?

preview edit-

Thanks! I finally turn 2!

[AurorusVox]

Noise, no ward

---

I see nothing to indicate that we can't dispatch more than one person]

Dispatch: Fate

Dispatch: ReaperCharlie

---

No cult kill last night? So it's likely that someone res'd successfully? Or cult wifom with aspirations of collecting successful res town points?

Thoughts on LB: potential murderer, or cultist?

---

I'm busy busy busy til the weekend (and maybe after that too), so I'll be short in all my posts. Like that.

[Vi]

How many times can we dispatch a day?

I see no reason why you cannot Dispatch an unlimited number of times.

It's worth noting that there may be tactical reasons for NOT Dispatching someone.

[VP Baltar]

I personally think LB is cultist. I really didn't like their play yesterday at all. Too many town reads that were unexplained and too much trying to shovel dirt on anyone who suspected them. It was annoying that I fell so far behind because nobody was really doing much about their terrible play. The fact that they were taking tiny jabs at Trilobite (who I find exceedingly town) without ever presenting a case bothered me. Of course, LB did the same thing with me several times...which I think might have been partly due to me not being around. It just felt like fishing to see if they could get support before they engaged in a word battle they weren't sure what the outcome would be.

--edit--

Yes, I suppose Vi is correct about dispatching.

Ok, here is the big draw back I see: we are creating more bodies than we can effectively rob tonight, which increases the cult's chance of getting corpse dust. The question is if this is a big enough drawback that we're willing to fore go knowing RC and Fate's alignments by tomorrow. We'd need eight grave robbers to successfully rob all bodies and guarantee scum can't get corpse dust....that's kind of a big investment. Maybe dispatching a single body is the way to go today.

[Trilobite]

I don't see how 8 grave robbers will guarentee that scum can't get corpse dust.

Warded Trilobite because they're three strong players that I have a fairly good town read on.

My case on Fate was driven by the need to explain his drastic switch on ReaperCharlie. If that switch was driven by out of game information that RC is town, then sadly they're probably both investigators. I don't understand a.) why he didn't just replace out when learning that and b.) why he didn't understand that his switch looked scummy to people without his out of game info, but there you go. They're probably both town, and if it's a choice to dispatch *or* lynch I'd much rather lynch.

[hitogoroshi]

EBWOP: Oh, should have scrolled up in my preview, looks like it's unlimited free dispatches barring a disagreement from Percy. Jawesome. Let me think about if we want to double dispatch and deal with three corpses.

I think Lost Butterfly is Cult. That's the only reason why he could have 1 insanity with his heard noise no ward claim. Did Fur rob grave last night?
