Walter Kovacs Posted February 12, 2015 DAY 4: 2112 There is unrest in the forest There is trouble with the trees For the Maples want more sunlight And the Oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the Maples (And they're quite convinced they're right) They say the Oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light But the Oaks can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made And they wonder why the Maples Can't be happy in their shade Once again, night falls on the copse at the center of Galidor. And again, the silence is shattered by the roar of generators, the hum of chainsaws, the pounding thud of axe-falls and the rhythm of hand saws at work. Burt and Ernie work diligently and with care. Their expertise shows, and soon Larry Larch lies on the forest floor. Mr. Big Chief rests on his axe, watching as Barry Cherry falls down. “Walter” he shouts. “Did you bring the dynamite?” “Right here, boss!” “Good. This stump needs to be removed.” Moments later, a tremendous boom echoes through the remaining trees. All that is left is a blackened hole where Barry once stood. Walter also takes time to relax, after cutting down Clem Elm in the prime of his life, as Burt and Ernie put in some overtime bringing Bobby Beech down. The next morning, Elder Alden Alder addresses the remaining trees. “What do you think you trees are doing?! Four trees felled last night?! At this rate, none of us will survive. “When we started this, I expected 2 trees felled, hopefully with 1 Maple. 1 Maple in 2 trees would have been acceptable losses. Not four. And I can’t even read Barry’s alignment, his stump has been removed. I can tell you that Larry, Clem and Bobby were all Oaks. “You must do better today. Get to work.” The NPCs: Elder Alden Alder Burt Ernie Mr Big Chief Walter The Players: Adelaide Apple, played by TinyPiesRUs Berty Birch, played by Dragonfire Bruce Spruce, played by Tamamono Chester Chestnut, played by Lego Spy Hazel Hazelnut, played by Goliath Jack Pine, played by mostlytechnic Lassie Sassafras, played by fhomess Maggie Magnolia, played by Calanon Nash Ash, played by Zephyr Peter Cedar, played by badboytje88 Sammy Sycamore, played by Fugazi Simon Persimmon, played by Hinckley Sue Sumac, played by Bob Waldorf Walnut, played by jamesn William Willow, played by Scubacarrot The Fallen: Alastair Pear, played by Brickelodeon – Lynched Day 1 – Alignment Unknown Lauren Laurel, played by PirateDave84 – Felled Night 1 – Oak Buck “Dollar” Poplar, played by Mencot – Felled Night 1 - Oak Catarina Dogwood, played by adventurer1 – Lynched Day 2 - Oak Agnes Cyprus, played by JackJonesPaw – Felled Night 2 - Oak Vicky Hickory, played by Stickfig – Felled Night 2 – Oak Larry Larch, played by TheLazyChicken – Lynched Day 3 - Oak Clem Elm, played by Scaevola – Felled Night 3 – Oak Bobby Beech, played by Lord Duvors – Felled Night 3 - Oak Barry Cherry, played by jluck – Felled Night 3 – Alignment Unknown The Rules, by which we shall play: 1. Each player will be given a character to play. That character will be aligned with either the Oaks or the Maples. To win the game, the Oaks must lynch or kill off all of the Maples, while the Maples need to outnumber the voting members of the Oaks. Any Third Party characters will have their own win conditions. 2. Each day will be played out in its own topic. During the day you will be able to vote to expel (lynch) a player. Voting must be done in the following format: Vote: Character (Player). Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format: Unvote: Character (Player). No other format will be accepted. A majority vote is required to expel (lynch) a player, meaning that over half of the remaining players must vote for the same player to warrant a lynch. 3. A game day will last for 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. The day will end after those 72 hours. After the day has concluded, a night will commence, which will last a maximum of 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 hours of nighttime. You may not post about the game openly on Eurobricks during that time (but may continue to use private messages). 4. The alignment of lynched players, as well as those that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the next day. 5. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to you by the game host via PM. This includes the details of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage. 6. You may not quote/post anything sent to you by another player via PM. If you wish to use information gained in this way, you must do so in your own words only. 7. Do not play the game outside the day threads. Similarly, do not post out-of-character inside the day threads. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread or via PM with other players. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game. 8a. If you are a Tree Stump, you MAY (and are encouraged to) continue to take part in the Day thread discussions. Tree Stumps may not Vote, they may not use Night Actions, and they cannot be voted for or targeted at night. 8b. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players (living or dead). Any information you had becomes void, and may not be passed on. 9. Don't edit your posts. 10. You must post in every day thread. 11. Violation of the above rules will result in a 5-vote penalty against you on your first offense, and the death of your character on your second offense. 12. If at any time another player asks you to violate these rules (for example, asking you to give them your role PM), report this to the host immediately along with PM proof of the violation.

Fugazi Posted February 12, 2015 Hmm... so not only lynches can be janitored, apparently. And there's no consistency in the use of tools, lynches were treated differently yesterday and today. I hope the night results are more positive. Given that his killer and the janitor were coordinated, I doubt that Barry could be scum. Unless there's another explanation?

Tamamono Posted February 12, 2015 I'm not sure if Barry was janitored. I received info last night that he claimed to be the neutral bomb... who had to live to Day Four. And upon that time, was able to kill one person. He supposedly was supposed to explode when attacked... but he seemed to jump the gun. This info was given to me by Berty, who claims that William also had a deal with Barry - Barry would use his one kill (that he supposedly doesn't have now?? I'm very confused) against Simon. What does everyone think of this? I swear, I'm not making it up. I'm not sure if I believe it, though. To be fair, however, it isn't like Barry was very townie. Why would the Maples kill him??

Tamamono Posted February 12, 2015 Interesting...so Barry was attacked last night? This is what I'm wondering. I was told he would act like a bomb - kill his attacker. Maybe he was hit by the vig who was protected or something? Because it doesn't look like anyone killed him. It looks kind of like he killed himself. He might have been some stupid survivor role who had to live to Day 4, and made up the nightkill/bomb story to steer people clear of him... Then again, the construction guy throwing the dynamite at him suggests that that was an actual night action... I hate this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This info was given to me by Berty, who claims that William also had a deal with Barry - Barry would use his one kill (that he supposedly doesn't have now?? I'm very confused) against Simon. This is the weirdest thing I have ever heard. William, why would you believe such a claim? A neutral bomb that converts to a killer on Day Four and only has to kill one person to live??? What the tree bark? (Sorry I'm late to the pun brigade.) This is what I'm wondering. I was told he would act like a bomb - kill his attacker. Maybe he was hit by the vig who was protected or something? No, the construction men used dynamite to remove the stump so he couldn't come back, right? It looks to me like the janitor strikes again. Or, could it be as simple as we just need to figure out that the trees that don't remain stumps are Maples? They did replant Alastair in the sun. That was their chief complaint. No light. Now he has what he wanted, he's a maple? Maybe? Should we PM the host and ask him and then maybe the "janitoring" if that's even what it is will stop. I'll give it a shot. Is William around? This neutral bomb story is crazy. I'd like to hear an explanation from him. Oh wait, I guess that which has been dynamited can not be replanted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamamono Posted February 12, 2015 Stumps: I'd like you guys to look specifically at the claims of Sue, Nash, and Maggie today. I'm really feeling at least 2/3 of them being scum. Clem: I'm 47E I don't have codes with the other two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinckley Posted February 12, 2015 Alder, don't just stare at what we're saying, answer your PM, please. All due respect, sorry. Are the stumps that are removed Maples? Is that why they're removed? Please help us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clem: I'm 47E I don't have codes with the other two. From what I can see, we got nothing. Alright so let's face it, scum are leading the game and it's time to lynch them; Nash, Bruce, Jack, Simon and Sammy are leading the discussions so let's see which of them is more likely to be scum and kill them once and for all.

mostlytechnic Posted February 12, 2015 Hmm... so not only lynches can be janitored, apparently. And there's no consistency in the use of tools, lynches were treated differently yesterday and today. You expect to get info from the pictures? It's been beaten into every game I've played since mafia school that they're just entertainment, not information! Alder, don't just stare at what we're saying, answer your PM, please. All due respect, sorry. Are the stumps that are removed Maples? Is that why they're removed? Please help us. So now you expect the mod to step in and help us? I'm going with the obvious explanation - there's a janitor, presumably limited shot (like they usually are) and the scum wanted to hide two people from us. Either for confusion or because they were scum. Or one of each. From what I can see, we got nothing. Alright so let's face it, scum are leading the game and it's time to lynch them; Nash, Bruce, Jack, Simon and Sammy are leading the discussions so let's see which of them is more likely to be scum and kill them once and for all. Doooooooo it! Oh, so now being active and talkative is scummy? If you weren't already a stump I'd start trying to lynch you! Don't forget the quiet ones - they might just be avoiding the Day game as much as possible and enacting these deaths at night. Leave no stone unturned!! Ah yes, let's just hunt EVERYONE. Oh yea - that's EXACTLY what we should be doing! Suspect everyone (even those of you in the town block, don't trust each other 100% - you can be infiltrated!!!) Jack is the definition of flying under the radar. What do you think of William? I'm flying under the radar? How could I be more vocal than I am this game? I may not be the first to lead a bandwagon each day (but when have I ever) but I'm certainly talking and pushing to scumhunt! I just wish the codes had been used so we could be much better coordinated and catch the maples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know some were confused about if they could PM you. He told everyone to send codes but it doesn't look like he ever did himself. Unless if was not entered in the spreadsheet, we have no code for Barry. I can't read William, ever ... I don't know if scum would be so bold as flat out refuse to send codes. Jack is IMO a fair contributor to the threads and I included him because he always seemed to post when it mattered and generally agreed with the other outlined trees. We NEED to hear from the investigator/town block ASAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either for confusion or because they were scum. Or one of each. I'm trying things. Maybe there's something to figure out that we're missing. I checked the pictures too for clues to what weapon was used like Sammy suggested yesterday. A hatchet and saw were used again. I'm flying under the radar?

I just wish the codes had been used so we could be much better coordinated and catch the maples. I love the fire in your belly! Yes, you are stuck riding down the center in my memory. Perhaps I'm wrong. Sorry. Glad to hear you're working hard. I can't read William, ever ... I don't know if scum would be so bold as flat out refuse to send codes. You left him off of your list of active people who might be Scum. And maybe you missed the part of him making a deal with the claimed "neutral bomb who converts to a killer after day four and only needs to kill one person to win" to kill me. You think that's Oak play? Stumps... We NEED to hear from the investigator/town block ASAP. We already told you what we heard about Barry and William working together. What else do you want to know?

Now this being said, the whole bomb situation is weird and scummy BUT I can't blame him for wanting to kill you; sorry. Maybe he did it out of spite, out of jealousy, or out of dickery but I can sort if see where he's coming from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lady K Posted February 12, 2015 I think you may have to consider a third-party with the number of losses last night. Barry was janitored, nothing on his alignment. Larry was lynched. Two others, both oaks, Clem and Bobby were cut down. One of these could be the result of a third-party kill. Did you point that out to anyone yesterday? I asked him in thread and someone else responded that was his code. He then confirmed in his next post. No one else gave it any attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
