Pandora Posted January 18, 2012 Melaena Stools had been chosen by the group to be the second sacrifice to IMHOTEP on their second day of this hot and dusty ordeal. As had happened before, her clothes fall from a chute to the side of the statue. As had also happened before, but equally unwitnessed by the group, the statue's eyes flash! Bleurgh!! You feed me the corrupted!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Later that night, another camper is up late, this time preparing his placard for the next day. "Stupid desert, there's nowhere to put this damn thing! How am I supposed to create art around a political statement under these conditions! This is intolerable!! Do I have to do everything myself?!? I will not stand for such substandard conditions!!" Fortunately, there's a helpful sort of person around, ready to hold his placard for him. "I'll hold that placard for you!" Says the helpful sort of person, uhm, helpfully. "Well, yes, I suppose you could" mutters Patrick Fitzwilliam (for it is he) "but you could at least try to hold it straight. And still!!" "Whatever" mutters the dark, dark, yet helpful figure. "Hold on a minute.." exclaims Patrick, as realisation dawns "I've been around long enough to know what happens when I'm visible and you're not! That means I'm.." Thunk! "Yes. Yes you are. You very much are." mutters the dark, dark figure. The dark, dark figure looks at their concoction, looks at Patrick and looks at their concoction once more. "Eh, what the hell" says the dark, dark figure as they do their dastardly deed. "Oooh, who knew this stuff removed a dirty sanchez? Cool.." mumbles the dark, dark figure as they drag the limp body of Patrick Fitzwilliam towards the statue of IMHOTEP. Patrick is fed to the great god IMHOTEP, and once again the clothes of the terribly dashing Patrick Fitzwilliam slide down the side chute. IMHOTEP's eyes flash once more... Yum, a pure one! Certainly an amuse bouche! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following morning a smell pervades the makeshift camp; a smell so dreadful that it could only be caused by the ingestion of vast quantities of scorpion balls and their subsequent gaseous excretion. The campers convene around the source of the stink: Mehmet, who has attempted to partially bury himself in the sand at some point in the night. "Nice sand boobs" notes an unidentified camper. "" replies Mehmet. ~~~~~~~~~~ Meanwhile Ossie and Is are hard at work... building a rocket? "Are you sure that's Mawhrin-Skel?" asks Is, pointing to the small white drone behind the rocket "Yes, of course it is, how could you possibly doubt that?" replies Ossie, somewhat affronted "It just looks absolutely nothing like I imagined it to look, that's all" mutters Is. "Next you're gonna tell me that this magnificent ship looks nothing like the (Eccentric class) Labtebricolephile!" "...." says Is, keeping her counsel. "What the hell is going on with you two?!? cry the frustrated campers "Don't you care about us?!" "We're just doing what we usually do, and having a bit of fun.." mumble Ossie and Is "Sowwy" [tight beam, M32, tra. @n4.28.972.1010] xROU Killing Time (Torturer class) odROU Frank Exchange Of Views (Psychopath class) I really was expecting more violence, weren't you? ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Rules Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the Innocents or the Cultists.

CorneliusMurdock Posted January 18, 2012 We got a cultist! Nancy the snake, indeed. Sad that poor Patrick had to go just when we started making progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickdoctor Posted January 18, 2012 Well, I don't think anyone is surprised we caught a cultist. Hurray for us! On the other hand, it's a shame that we had to lose one of our most proactive members. Right after he caught the first Cultist, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamamono Posted January 18, 2012 Hooray, we got a cultist! Although it's not very surprising - Melaena's claims were incredibly weak. Especially the part about the snake curing mental illness. It's too bad about poor Fitzdef, though. He might not have been the nicest guy around, but he worked hard for our camp, and he shall be missed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fugazi Posted January 18, 2012 Ooh... The satisfaction of nailing one of the Cultists is tarnished by the death of Fitzdef, who led us to this successful conviction. He laid the groundwork for the organisation of this camp, let's build upon this and find the next Cultist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimBee Posted January 18, 2012 Yup, we were right. Of course, I was expecting as much of the Cultists, to take their revenge on Patrick. Indeed, I did have my doubts about the psychologist story, but then, it's safe to anything ever. I'm just glad we lynched that damned Cultist. I suppose I'll just wait until Mehmet comes around, he probably knows something. Otherwise I'm moving down the list of suspects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy Posted January 18, 2012 Phew! I'm so relieved yesterday took a turn to the right direction! I'm also surprised to see myself still alive, but I had a hunch it was going to be either me or Patrick who'd get sacrificed. At least we now know that Patrick was telling the truth all along, even if he was acting all high and mighty about it. I feel confident that we innocents stand on a firmer ground this morning, all in all. Mehmet, what exactly are you doing buried in the sand? And with a rack bigger than mine...

ADHO15 Posted January 18, 2012 Well Miss Stools allegiance was to be expected, so it is a relief that we have managed to rid ourselves of our first enemy. Mr Fitzwilliam's death is a very sad one however, and one that also makes me rather suspicious of Mr Attabar. We will see what today's discussions bring us... Today's hat is my own design of a helmet for a kind of soldier from a distant galaxy. I call them 'stormtroopers'. Scary, no? I hope to make it into the film business one day with my marvellous ideas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinckley Posted January 18, 2012 Somebody lied to me about protecting Patrick Fitzwilliam last night and there had better be a good explanation as to why. Somebody else asked me to take protection off of him too. Someone who said they wanted him dead. I didn't like his attitude, but I am pissed that he's dead. Nadir Zenith has some explaining to do otherwise. megablock Cultists. Mehmet, what exactly are you doing buried in the sand? And with a rack bigger than mine... I begged Ossie and Is to let me bury myself in the sand so I'd be protected, but I requested head-first so I could fart at potential killers. And Nancy the snake was supposed to protect me.

Eskallon Posted January 18, 2012 We got one! Great job with Melena. Losing Patrick was a great loss but looks like you caught another in the act Hinck. I think it would be best to repost the voting tally's like Mehmet did yesterday so I shall go do that and repost it here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy Posted January 18, 2012 Somebody lied to me about protecting Patrick Fitzwilliam last night and there had better be a good explanation as to why. Not that I know anything about this, but couldn't the protector be blocked by the cultists? That would also mean that the cultists know more than they should...

Nadir Zenith has some explaining to do otherwise. megablock Cultists. Are you saying that I asked for Patrick to not be protected? I hope not, because that would be a straight up lie. I said nothing about Patrick and protection neither here nor in any private conversations. Otherwise, what would you like me to explain? How I drove the nail to lynch Melaena? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinckley Posted January 18, 2012 Otherwise, what would you like me to explain? How I drove the nail to lynch Melaena? You drove the nail? You were defending "Freud" because you knew who it was! You believed that line of camelshit. Anyway, Papa Smurf told me he protected Patrick Fitzwilliam, yet lo and behold, Patrick is dead this morning. Maybe he was blocked. Maybe. I'll come out and admit right now that I did ask Papa if he could switch his protection to someone else. Somebody made me really paranoid about Patrick's alignment and asked for him to not be protected. I contacted Papa and asked if he could protect me instead, but then changed my mind after telling the person who was nervous about Patrick that I had already had him confirmed. (Yes, I had forgotten, that cold had fried my brain.) So, I'd like Papa Smurf to give me an idea of what he was up to last night and respond to my PM, even though all my PM says is "Scum!!!!!!!!!!" Did that investigator investigate me again last night or not? Could you let someone know what you found please? Not that I know anything about this, but couldn't the protector be blocked by the cultists? That would also mean that the cultists know more than they should... I don't think I'll be listening to you about anything. We're still unsure about you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimBee Posted January 18, 2012 You drove the nail? You were defending "Freud" because you knew who it was! You believed that line of camelshit. Are you shitting me? I find it unbelievable that you still find me suspicious. Patrick voted first, and it was ignored for four pages a long time before I brought it up again, with Melaena's slip-up from Day 1. If I was a Cultist, don't you think I would've just left it alone and let Jennifer die? And did I even imply that I thought Melaena was innocent? No. As I already said today, there's the benefit of the doubt in case Freud wasn't Melaena, but why in the hell would I start a solid attack on Melaena and then try to change it around at the end of the day? You're either giving me way too much credit by thinking I'm a Cultist with a convoluted plan, or you're not thinking straight. Maybe you should lie down.

Cecilie Posted January 18, 2012 Aww, the mixed feelings. Yey for the successful cultist lynch . But loosing Patrick is not good at all . I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later though.

Tamamono Posted January 18, 2012 Not that I know anything about this, but couldn't the protector be blocked by the cultists? That would also mean that the cultists know more than they should... That's possible. Although I think we're in big trouble if our protector has been outed this early. Anyway, Papa Smurf told me he protected Patrick Fitzwilliam, yet lo and behold, Patrick is dead this morning. Maybe he was blocked. Maybe. I'll come out and admit right now that I did ask Papa if he could switch his protection to someone else. Somebody made me really paranoid about Patrick's alignment and asked for him to not be protected. I contacted Papa and asked if he could protect me instead, but then changed my mind after telling the person who was nervous about Patrick that I had already had him confirmed. (Yes, I had forgotten, that cold had fried my brain.) That sounds like a pretty confusing situation to me. I hope Papa Smurf can come up with a good explanation. We can't afford to have our protectors not doing what they're told by the camp leaders. Are you shitting me? I find it unbelievable that you still find me suspicious. Patrick voted first, and it was ignored for four pages a long time before I brought it up again, with Melaena's slip-up from Day 1. If I was a Cultist, don't you think I would've just left it alone and let Jennifer die? I think you're ignoring the fact that Jennifer could still be a cultist too. If you three (Melaena, Nadir, and Jennifer) are all cultists, then you could have tried to distance yourself from your teammate by voting for her. Little did you know that you were helping Fitzdef push Melaena's bandwagon all the way down the hill. Although your defense of Freud would be pretty stupid considering that you were the second on Melaena's bandwagon. I don't know what to think about you. You've been acting pretty scummy so far this game, but you could still be town. Did any of the campies who can help at night find anything out about Nadir or Jennifer? I think those two are the main suspects for today (unless Mehmet has someone else he's suspicious of). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tamamono Posted January 18, 2012 Hello? What happened to not voting for the claimed virgin?! I guess I'll just shut up now so I don't give Huge Anus more reasons to find me inexplicably scummy... Just because I'm hesitant to vote for you doesn't mean I'm not suspicious of you. It just means that I haven't got the balls to take a leap of faith and vote off somebody who could be helpful (or, in the very least, prevent the cultists from getting any farther toward their goal).

Hinckley Posted January 18, 2012 Are you shitting me? I shit you not. Voting second is a very convenient place to vote for a fellow scumbag when all the votes are on Jennifer. Makes it look like you made the right choice the next day. It's also a very safe place to defend the anonymous "Freud" from. And not just defend, but find a convoluted pile of camelshit perfectly reasonable. Then you went on to defend, linking us to a page on mafiawiki that didn't even back up your claim. Desperate defense? If you are Scum, you would know Freud was Malaena. Those were all incredibly safe Actions for Scum. Who else can we look at? As pointed out to me in private, how about the person who garnered Big Butthole 5 penalty votes near the end of Day 1, by pointing out his mistake? That was rather close to lynching him considering how fast the votes were changing. I know that when I hear someone is worth saving for the Town, I try to make sure they get their penalty votes. Papa Smurf is one of the ones who verified he "thought" he protected me with that mirrored cloak nonsense from yesterday, so I'm inclined to keep believing him, but... come on, Papa! Let's talk in private a little more please. Where'd ya go?? Yup, we were right. Of course, I was expecting as much of the Cultists, to take their revenge on Patrick. Indeed, I did have my doubts about the psychologist story, but then, it's safe to anything ever. I'm just glad we lynched that damned Cultist. I suppose I'll just wait until Mehmet comes around, he probably knows something. Otherwise I'm moving down the list of suspects. This is one of my favorite posts in a hole in the desert ever. I love it. You expected them to kill Patrick? Wouldn't you expect him to be protected, rather? Did you expect it because you know the protector was blocked or lying to me behind the scenes and that you and your Cultist buddies targeted Patrick. Let's just wait for me and move down the list of suspects... to you. Mr Fitzwilliam's death is a very sad one however, and one that also makes me rather suspicious of Mr Attabar. This is my second favorite post. You're suspicious of me just because Patrick is dead? You think I would revenge kill him? You think if I was Scum and he was a Virgin I would go after him publicly so vehemently and again and again like that? What's your reasoning behind this suspicion. Wasn't I the one who announced yesterday that someone had confirmed him? Wasn't I the one that encouraged people to trust him, even though he tended to insulting their intelligence?

Waterbrick Down Posted January 18, 2012 Good morning all, at long last we have taken out one of those pesky Cultists, but at the loss of the helpful Fitzwilliam it would also appear. However, now that we know some concrete facts about their allegiances, we should be able to determine more about those defending or attacking them these past two days. I am going to reflect on the previous conversations and will hopefully arise with some more evidence, though it would seem that Nadir is already under the gun for his previous actions. Also if I might mention, and if Ms. Taylor does not mind, I think we should have the dear Captain give us his say on her virginity, as it may clear up some of the din caused yesterday and keep us from straying into useless finger pointing.
