MagPiesRUs Posted July 10, 2015 Day Two: All the Children are Insane After being cut loose by Herburt Marred-Eye, the surviving einherjar spent the night braving the harsh winter outside. Morning arrived and all woke up, ready for the long march that awaited them. It wasn't a good start to the day. It was discovered that Brand (Brickelodeon), whom the warriors had convicted yesterday, was a Loyal follower. "Come, my warriors," said Kára, "a bitter journey awaits us, but we march nonetheless. Our only hope is that we reach the river before the frost takes us all. There, we will find the longboat Herburt promised us." And so, the motley group of warriors embarked on their journey across the wintry wasteland that was now Asgard. The road was treacherous and the cold biting, and the warriors attempted to stick together... ... Unfortunately, the fog began to set in and Patrekr the Red (Palathadric) found himself lost. "Hello?" he called out, "is anyone out there?" Through the fog Patrekr began to make out a silhouette. "Wary?" Patrekr shouted, "is that you my old rival? You're certainly black enough. Come here, it's time to settle this grudge once and for all!" Patrekr's eyesight wasn't what it once was, and before he knew it the figure had lunged forward, bringing their great axe down onto his head. With that, Patrekr was finished. With his dying breath, he gasped, "tell my son I'm sorry... but also, tell him... I'm still more badass than him... ughh..." As he had always been, Patrekr was a Loyal einherjar. Across the mist, Lambi (TheLazyChicken) had also strayed from the group. She might have been lost forever, were it not for another shadowy figure. "I can't believe I'm going to kill a little girl today," sighed the axe-wielder as they crept up on Lambi. "Bleurgh!" Lambi yelled as she quickly turned around, catching her killer by surprise. Fortunately for the figure, they had fast reflexes and swung their axe at the young warrior. "That was weird," the killer said, leaving their target for dead. Lambi had been Corrupted. Meanwhile, the main party had escaped the snow storm and had stumbled upon a wonderous sight. "Odin!..." Kára gasped. Vidarr nodded solemnly. There lay Odin's remains, slain by the great wolf Fenrir. Where he lay, no flake of snow dared fall, and all around him plants began to grow anew. The last of the fog lifted, and the warriors looked out before them. "A blessing from Odin!" one warrior cried. "The gods have made their will known," announced Kára, "we sail to Valhalla!"

Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the Loyal or the Corrupted. To win the game, the Loyal must kill off all of the Corrupted, while the Corrupted must outnumber the Loyal. Neutral characters will have their victory conditions outlined in their role. 2. Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting should 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 lynch a player. 2b. You may give your proxy vote to a player in the following format: Proxy: Character (Player). Doing so will gift your vote to the player of your choice, effectively giving them an extra vote. You may retract your proxy in the following format: Unproxy: Character (Player). 3. A game day will last for 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. After the day has concluded, a night stage will commence, which will last a maximum of 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 hours of the night stage. 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 or from you in PM with the game host. This includes all the details of your character and role, as well as any night action results.

Similarly, you may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent by another player via PM. Please paraphrase instead. 6. Do not play the game outside the thread. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread; you must always play the role given to you. 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. 7. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players.

Duvors Posted July 10, 2015 Hmm... we have voted... poorly. By the way, I notice that Tarben the Wise voted for Lambi yesterday, but when he was questioned about it he changed it to Mund the Strange, thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mostlytechnic Posted July 10, 2015 In a more serious note, let's look at yesterday now. Lambi was the sole vote against Tarr the Egg - so does that make him loyal? I'm actually leaning towards no - it wasn't like Lambi expected to die in the night, and with such a strong lynch against Brand, it was an opportunity for her to vote against a fellow scum that either could point to later if needed. Her vote was late late in the day, Brand was already two votes beyond the needed 12, so there was no reason for a scummo to vote anywhere other than joining the bandwagon. Brand was loyal, as I expected to see. The fighting on day one felt like fellow loyals arguing to me - puts a bit of lean towards loyal for me on pudding and Tarben. Not a solid by any means, but a lean at least. And patrekr - an early vote on Brand. Not sure there's anything to learn there. Hmm... we have voted... poorly. By the way, I notice that Tarben the Wise voted for Lambi yesterday, but when he was questioned about it he changed it to Mund the Strange, thoughts? 1. As we usually do in these things. Sad, but that's the odds. 2. Interesting, thanks for reminding us. I'll have to go re-read the logs and see how that played out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamamono Posted July 10, 2015 Knew it. Hmm... we have voted... poorly. By the way, I notice that Tarben the Wise voted for Lambi yesterday, but when he was questioned about it he changed it to Mund the Strange, thoughts? Not when questioned; I think Munud is scum too, just looked like there might be more will to get him lynched, that's all. In a more serious note, let's look at yesterday now. Lambi was the sole vote against Tarr the Egg - so does that make him loyal? I'm actually leaning towards no - it wasn't like Lambi expected to die in the night, and with such a strong lynch against Brand, it was an opportunity for her to vote against a fellow scum that either could point to later if needed. Her vote was late late in the day, Brand was already two votes beyond the needed 12, so there was no reason for a scummo to vote anywhere other than joining the bandwagon. I mean, I think he's more Einherjar than not now - common scum strat is to pick out one quiet guy and just say "hey, speak up!!" and vote them. Doesn't usually happen to scum. Toki and Munud are sweet choices for lynches today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jluck Posted July 10, 2015 The night kill was incredibly bold, I was the vig last game and tried a night 1 kill and basically screwed it up. To the information at hand: I don't think many people are surprised with the brand being loyal revelation, that's pretty typical of a day 1 lynch. The killing of Patrekr seems to be a pretty typical scum kill too, he was relatively quiet during the first day. Hmm... we have voted... poorly. By the way, I notice that Tarben the Wise voted for Lambi yesterday, but when he was questioned about it he changed it to Mund the Strange, thoughts? I've gotta go back to day 1 to view this exchange. My day was dominated with keeping up with the Brand argument and arguing with Cranebeinn. Certainly any interaction with a confirmed scum should at least be looked at. We've got quite a gift to start out day 2. In a more serious note, let's look at yesterday now. Lambi was the sole vote against Tarr the Egg - so does that make him loyal?

Interesting, thanks for reminding us. I'll have to go re-read the logs and see how that played out. Yeah, lambi's vote confuses me. Why not just hop on the wagon or vote for one of the promising side candidates, such as Mist or Cranebeinn. His vote really made him stand out a bit. However, tarben is correct in noting that scum often pick on the quiet ones in order to appear active and "townie". Maybe he thought it would just be more suspicious to change that late in the day. With a confirmed scum already, day 1 posts could really be useful. Im heading back... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady K Posted July 10, 2015 Two loyals lost, is a sad day indeed. One corrupted found and removed, a happier thought to be sure. Now to analyze all that happened yesterday concerning Lambi to see what we can learn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinckley Posted July 10, 2015 These deaths are weird. Are there two serial killers? I can't think of why either one of them would make a good Scum or Vig kill. A doi. I should read the whole intro first. Knew it. Knew what exactly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkdragon Posted July 10, 2015 By the way, I notice that Tarben the Wise voted for Lambi yesterday, but when he was questioned about it he changed it to Mund the Strange, thoughts? I don't think the vote makes Tarben or Mund any more or less likely to be scum. It seems like a stretch to think that a scum would vote day one on a fellow when most day one votes are unquestioned and fairly useless to analize anyway. Perhaps added with some other strange behavior in the comming day it could mean something but I'm not putting much stock in it on it's own right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackJonespaw Posted July 10, 2015 Okay, so Brand was loyal...that was unexpected.. The whole thing that started this was Tarben 'claiming' (you know, joke form) that he was scum. Those words suddenly have a lot more meaning... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those words suddenly have a lot more meaning... Why do they have more meaning now that he's town? He was lynched because of the discrepancies between his and Pudding Head's PMs, not because he received a message from me pre-game with a joke. If you have an actual argument to make, I implore you to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackJonespaw Posted July 10, 2015 Was it? Relatively? Considering the amount of votes for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jluck Posted July 10, 2015 Relatively? Considering the amount of votes for him. Gotta disagree here. You've played enough to know that most lynches, especially day 1, turn up town. Of course there were a lot of votes on him, he was lynched so by definition lots of folks voted for him... Are you feeling the need to defend your vote?

Dannylonglegs Posted July 10, 2015 Alright, I too have to go over yesterday's events with a much closer lens. I've been rather busy, so hopefully I can get some good insight by reviewing the previous day. As it stands, I still suspect Cranebrienne. As for Pat, sad to see him go! I was looking forward to another game of life with him. Not surprised about Brand, although I was hopeful that his "giving up" at the end of Day 1 was a sign that he was a scum. I will say I'm a bit surprised about Lamby. Only because I had no good read on her yet. good job, vig! (or SK) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dannylonglegs Posted July 10, 2015 I'll be holding my breath. Hehehe, don't do that. It would be mighty embarrassing to die of asphyxiation in the next few minutes, while it may take me a full "third of a day" to fully review yesterday's events. Asphyxiation is a cowardly way to die! Much better to die in pitched combat! Preferably against Loki-worshipers or Fierce Dragons! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger of the Forest Posted July 10, 2015 It’s a shame about Patrekr and Brand being town, but I’m glad we’ve already eliminated one corrupted I think we need to take a closer look at the people who hopped on the Brand bandwagon without providing a good reason for doing so *cough*Cranebeinn*cough* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chromeknight Posted July 10, 2015 Given I voted first, when I voted it wasn't a bandwagon. And I gave my reasons. He (in his own words) was trying to 'cast suspicion' on me. I found that suspicious. Turns out I was wrong. Turns out also that townies do randomly defend townies on day one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
